"I'll get out myself!"

Shen Mingtao's face turned pale with fright as he saw his son being dragged away.

He feared Jiang Chen, but he feared the Four Great Aristocratic Families even more. In his eyes, Jiang Chen was no match for the Aristocrats, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to help Yue Long infiltrate Yi Chen from within. Seeing Yue Long lose his temper, he immediately opened the car door and ran out.

"Drive!" Yue Long looked at the father and son with disdain, as if they were two mangy dogs, and then gruffly ordered.

The man returned to the driver's seat, stepped on the gas, and left Dingyun Lake.

Having rushed back to the Yue Family, Yue Long proceeded straight into the reception room.

In the reception room, the key figures of the Four Great Aristocratic Families were all present. Seeing Yue Long enter, Yue Tianming immediately asked anxiously, "How did it go? Did the father and son make it into Yi Chen?"

"No, those two are good for nothing, Jiang Chen kicked them right out of his house!" Yue Long said with a grim shake of his head.

The heads of the Four Great Aristocratic Families frowned.

Lin Zhenggang murmured softly, "This Jiang Chen is really tough to deal with. Yi Chen Company is now like an iron board. After Gong Lin cleaned up Sky Venerate City, it's probably very difficult to plant our people there."

"Jiang Chen not only has money, but he is also ruthless. It seems that he is not easy to deal with!" said Fang Zhengshan gravely, glancing at the other three Family Heads, and then somberly continued, "We can't keep dividing our strength. We must truly unite to deal with him! We have to devour his tens of billions of funds. For him to run wild in Dingjing without paying a price, that's absolutely unacceptable!"

"Right, we should stop having our own separate agendas. We must cooperate completely. Lately, everyone has just been probing, and every family has been making small moves. Some haven't even lifted a finger yet. If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with Jiang Chen at all!" Yue Tianming implied as he glanced at Fang Zhengshan.

Fang Zhengshan felt a tightness in his chest and nearly let out a curse. Damn it! My son died at the hands of Jiang Chen, and you're here complaining I haven't done enough?

However, he would never say this out loud, for the same reason. If the other three families knew that the men who followed Jiang Chen were Heavenly Peak Grandmasters, and Jiang Chen himself was at least a Grandmaster, they might not dare to move against Jiang Chen.

Lin Zhenggang cast a doubtful look at Fang Zhengshan.

His people had only seen Lin Chao and others being dealt with from a distance when they were scouting Dingyun Lake Villa; they didn't know Jiang Chen and his people's real strength. But Lin Zhenggang had a suspicion that Fang Zhengshan seemed to have some reservations about dealing with Jiang Chen. After Fang Tianze's death, no one from the younger generation of the Fang Family had stepped up. Only today had Fang Zhengshan brought along his younger son, Fang Tianzheng.

There must be some trick here!

Just as the meeting room fell into silence, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a Yue Family bodyguard whispered to Yue Tianming, "Family Head, someone from Jincheng Wan Family has arrived!"

"The Wan Family? Who is it?" Yue Tianming was taken aback.

"It's the second young master of the Wan Family, the current heir, Wan Shan!" the bodyguard whispered back.

The members of the Four Great Aristocratic Families were all momentarily stunned.

The Jincheng Wan Family had been keeping a low profile lately after their eldest son Wan Feng passed away and the second son Wan Shan was named the heir. Unexpectedly, they would send the heir to them today.

"Please invite the young master Wan over!" Yue Tianming thought for a moment and then commanded in a deep voice.

"Yes!" The bodyguard obeyed and left the meeting room.

Sometime later, footsteps were heard, and everyone's eyes turned toward the door as a young man in casual attire with a cold expression entered.

"Young master Wan, I am Yue Tianming. This is... May I ask what brings you here today?" Yue Tianming, as the host, got up to introduce himself before introducing the other three heads of the Aristocratic Families.

"Family Head Yue, Family Head Zhou, Family Head Fang, Family Head Lin, Wan Shan has seen all four Family Heads here!" Wan Shan politely greeted them and then said indifferently, "I know you all are dealing with Yi Chen. I just didn't expect that the Four Great Aristocratic Families, standing nearly a hundred years in Dingjing, would be so powerless against an external company. It's quite surprising, indeed!"

"You..." Zhou Long's face darkened, and he glared coldly at Wan Shan.

Lin Zhenggang narrowed his eyes slighty and said indifferently, "Did young master Wan come here just to ridicule us? While the Wan Family is a first-class family in Jincheng, our Four Great Aristocratic Families are not so easily bullied!"

Wan Shan gave a slight smile, "Indeed, I came to ridicule you, but at the same time, I have come to help you!"

"Help us?" Fang Zhengshan raised an eyebrow.

Wan Shan nodded, "Yes, to help you. Let me first discuss what I know about Yi Chen."

Pausing for a moment, Wan Shan glanced over the members of the Four Great Aristocratic Families and said with a light chuckle, "To know your enemy and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles. If you can't even grasp the weaknesses of Yi Chen, of course you are at a loss to act. Yi Chen has two connections in Dingjing, one to the Gong Family and one to the Ye Family. I know the Gong Family was once mentioned alongside you as part of the Five Great Aristocratic Families and has now become a first-class family in Jincheng as well, difficult to handle. But the Ye Family is a weakness of Jiang Chen."

"Jiang Chen's ex-wife is from the Ye Family, and right now, his ex-wife is still with him, but as a vegetative person! And even more importantly, the Ye Family doesn't like Jiang Chen at all, you could even say they hate him.

We should strike the snake at its vital point. Among the Gong Family, Yi Chen, and the Ye Family, the Ye Family is the weakest link. We can target the Ye Family.

Furthermore, Ye Yùwǎn, who is now the president of Yi Chen, we can exploit this fact, devise some strategies or meddle with Jiang Chen's funds! Even if we fail, we can take over the Ye Family first and make some profit off of them!"

The members of the Four Great Aristocratic Families all brightened up at the prospect. For the Aristocrats, taking down the Ye Family wasn't going to be too much of a challenging task, and since the Ye Family was usable and they also disliked Jiang Chen, then a mere outreach from them should be enough to gain cooperation from the Ye Family members.

Wan Shan noticed the expressions of the members of the Four Great Aristocratic Families and a smile formed at the corner of his mouth.

To be honest, he had to thank Jiang Chen. If it wasn't for Jiang Chen killing Wan Feng, he probably wouldn't have become the heir so soon. However, he would not repay Jiang Chen; instead, he wanted to bring him down to show his family that, although Jiang Chen had killed Wan Feng, he could take down Jiang Chen himself, proving that he was far better than Wan Feng.

"Please take a seat, young master Wan!" Yue Tianming's eyes flashed sharply as he gestured for Wan Shan to sit down, signaling the Four Great Aristocratic Families' recognition of Wan Shan.

Wan Shan nodded with a smile and took the seat to the left of the head position.

"Young master Wan, in your opinion, how should we utilize the Ye Family?" Zhou Long asked meaningfully.

This is a test!

Wan Shan smiled slightly and began to speak his thoughts.
