Chapter 248: Chapter 247: Exposing Everyone’s Dirty Laundry (Part 2)

Yun Family was also among those "invited" to come, and Yun Jinyang, as their representative, exuded a whiff of "Don’t mess with me" from his entire being.

Of course, more attendees were those allied with the Yang Family, which made those standing on Yun Ran’s side exceptionally scarce.

The representatives led by the Meng Family and Lin Family, who were on good terms with the Yang Family, were emanating a thick hostility at this moment.

"How come, at such a time, the murderer who harmed the Yang Family Master still feels too dignified to show her face?"

Right upon their arrival, the Meng and Lin Family Heads had already labelled Yun Ran as the murderer.

Fire of indignation burned even stronger inside Yun Jinyang.

But he knew, now was not the time for him to speak.

Not just because his current status was not suitable to directly confront the opposition.

But also because he had already discussed with Yun Ran that he was here only as a witness and incidentally to receive compensation from the Yang Family.

The bodyguard had already made a successful exit from the study, the servant clothes on his body acting as natural camouflage.

Especially now that Hai City was in chaos, he smoothly handed over the documents he carried to the person waiting outside the Yang Mansion.

With the "support" of the Meng and Lin Family people, the servants of the Yang Family finally mustered the courage to knock on Yun Ran’s door.

At this moment, Yun Ran showed no sign of drowsiness upon waking, dragging the excessively heavy iron chains, she opened the door.

The maid glanced at the usually clean and tidy room, now a filthy mess, and she was instantly unable to contain her anger.

"How can you be like this, look at what you’ve done to the room..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Yun Ran looking indifferently at her, as if to say that if she continued, her head might be crushed.

Frightened by this gaze, the maid stumbled back several steps; she had never seen such ferocious eyes, even more terrifying than the Family Heads’.

"I, I..."

Yun Ran, however, no longer paid attention to her and dragged the heavy chains on her body toward the courtyard.

Just a few days ago, that yard was bustling, filled with various foods and drinks.

Now it was just rows of people sitting down, much like a tribunal seen on television.

To Yun Ran’s disappointment, she had thought she might actually be arrested, and then this matter might even become a social news story.

As Yun Ran stepped into the area, others scrutinized her carefully, observing the heavy iron blocks dragged behind her, causing many eyes to flicker.

Especially upon seeing the disappointment in Yun Ran’s eyes, for some reason, many felt an inexplicable panic.

The Meng Family Patriarch was the first to attack, the severity in his voice seemingly transforming into a blade targeting Yun Ran. freёweɓnovel_com

"Do you even realize what crime you have committed!"

The oppressive aura was directed at a young girl, which to others seemed somewhat like bullying the weak.

But Yun Ran was entirely unaffected, not even sparing the Meng Family Patriarch an extra glance.

She instead turned her head to the maid who had knocked earlier: "Go fetch me a chair!"

Whoever arranged this setting did it in such a way that those "judging" her sat in a U-shape, with her standing at the only opening.

Sadly, such suppression was futile against her; she had no interest in standing there being reprimanded.

The maid really wanted to retort: You’re nothing but a prisoner now, and you still dare to ask for a chair, how thick can your face be?

But upon receiving Yun Ran’s gaze, her body acted honestly and obediently went to fetch a chair.

"Lady Yun, please take a seat~"

Even the voice carried a trace of flattery.

This scene instantly infuriated those led by the Meng and Lin Families. They had never seen someone as arrogant as Yun Ran!

"How audacious! Who gave you the courage to be so insolent in front of so many Family Heads in Hai City!"

Saying so, the eyes then turned toward Yun Jinyang’s direction, the tone clearly full of frustration: "Is this how Yun Family teaches their children!"

Yun Jinyang: ...

He had barely convinced himself to be just a prop today, but still, the trouble had been brought to his door. It couldn’t be blamed on him!

Just as he was about to retort with veiled sarcasm, he heard Yun Ran’s sarcastic voice rise.

"Yes, yes, yes, everyone else lacks manners, only you are cultured, coming to flaunt your might on others’ turf.

In the past, you all just followed behind Yang Wu, acting as his lackeys, right? Now that you’ve seen me beat up Yang Wu, you’re jumping out to act like big shots.

Are you not secretly pleased now, thinking that it’s finally the turn for the little brother to sing his rise, with the big brother down, it’s time for you to take the stage, isn’t it?"

These words immediately changed the expressions of everyone present. They had not expected Yun Ran to be so void of martial ethics.

This was not just a strike to the heart, but as if exposing everyone’s bottom line, leaving all naked.

To claim that the Meng and Lin Families were devoid of selfish motives? Of course, that was impossible.

With the downfall of the Yang Family, these interest groups would be the first to divide up the Yang resources.

But to claim they were not enraged would be false too, after all, people are complex, with emotions and interests able to coexist.

They were defending the Yang Family Head on one hand, and naturally taking over the Yang resources in due course was the perfect path they had envisioned.

It was also a subtle warning to others that this interest group was not to be taken lightly.

Now that Yun Ran was flipping the table, their hopes of benefiting while punishing others were dashed.

With a loud "snap", the Meng Family Patriarch fiercely slammed his hand on the table.

His face turned beet red with both the anger of being offended and annoyance at having his deepest secrets poked at.

"Insolence! Who gave you the audacity to speak to me like this!"

Yun Ran scoffed right away: "Alright, this way, you only make yourself look formidable on the outside but weak within. You should have seen Yang Wu’s current state.

I am the victim. All my actions were in self-defense because my life was threatened. It doesn’t mean you can incriminate me just because you’re loud.

If you’re trying to seize the moral high ground while pretending to seek revenge for Yang Wu, save it.

Better speak of practical matters. Everyone’s time is precious; there’s no need to waste it on these quarrels."

Perhaps it was Yun Ran’s blatant composure, as if she was very clear that nothing would happen to her today, that those who came here simply couldn’t do anything to her.

Those who were just beating the drums from behind instantly lost their fire, nobody knew the fool. Yun Ran’s demeanor clearly showed she had a card up her sleeve.

After a moment of silence, Family Head Lin finally spoke: "What do you want to do?"

Yun Ran immediately put on an ’I love talking with smart people’ look.

"The Yang Mansion is mine, everyone from the Yang Family who made mistakes must pay the price, and as for the rest of the resources, let everyone rely on their own abilities."
