Chapter 251: Chapter 250: The Yang Mansion Acquired

Although the aristocratic families of Capital City were suppressed and there appeared to be a calm, Yun Ran’s name had thoroughly become notorious in their circles, in the most fragmented way imaginable.

They were powerless against the Xie Family, but towards Yun Ran, the mastermind behind their troubles, everyone was bracing themselves with determination.

Once they caught hold of any leverage against Yun Ran, they were sure to ruthlessly deal with her.

Not long after, countless phone calls were made from various related aristocratic families.

"Investigate! I want a thorough investigation. I refuse to believe she is squeaky clean!"

Those connected to them immediately commenced digging into all sorts of information about Yun Ran, striving to catch her in a fatal trap.

Some families, not part of the core group, didn’t quite grasp the significance of the matter to them or why such a command had come from above.

Was it merely because Yun Ran was a subordinate of a branch of the Xie Family? But nobody dared to inquire further.

In fact, many within the Xie Family were also baffled. Although the Xie Family ranked among the top in Capital City’s aristocratic community, it was not autocratic.

It was irrational for them to provoke other grand families over a person of insignificant status.

But there was nothing they could do about the orders given by those above.

"Alas, I don’t know why the main house has released this news. In the past, being able to leverage other families was a good thing for us. But now, look, we’ve made enemies with other families.

Even if they don’t dare to speak loudly against the Xie Family now, they surely harbor resentment towards us, and who knows, they might side with the other three major families at any time."

The person expressing these thoughts was, in fact, somewhat resentful that Yun Ran was tactless, as well as dissatisfied with Xie Xuzhi of the branch family.

But everyone knew that Xie Xuzhi was someone personally picked by the young head of the family, and even with their displeasure, they wouldn’t dare direct it towards him.

"Let’s drop it, just grumble in private. If the people from the main family hear about your complaints, you won’t be spared from their repercussions!"

In Hai City, people like the Meng Family Patriarch and Family Head Lin couldn’t even stomach their food in rage.

They were eagerly awaiting the day when others from Capital City would make an example out of Yun Ran.

However, they did not get the outcome they desired.

Instead, they received news from Capital City: no one was allowed to overtly attack Yun Ran.

They were only authorized to covertly search for any illegal activities committed by Yun Ran.

This information stunned everyone; they even felt that those from Capital City seemed to be wary of Yun Ran.

But the people in Capital City wouldn’t reveal their reasons, let alone admit that they had been threatened.

Meng Family Patriarch slammed the table fiercely and said to a confidant behind him, "Investigate thoroughly. Don’t let even a minor matter slip past."

People in Hai City also sprang into action.

Soon afterward, the Meng Family Patriarch personally led a group to the hospital, only to wait and see the condition of Yangyang Family Head as he came out.

Family Head Lin arrived at almost the same time.

Seeing the palpably unwell Meng Family Patriarch, he sighed softly.

It never crossed their minds that they would be outmaneuvered by a young girl.

Family Head Lin asked with a trace of murky intent in his eyes, "What’s the current situation? How much longer before he is out?"

Meng Family Patriarch shook his head: "It seems Yang Family Master is indeed gravely injured."

The group stared at the red light above the operating room door, waiting outside for what seemed like an eternity until they grew impatient.

Finally, the light in the operating room went off.

The surgeon felt near collapse; after a grueling surgery lasting over a dozen hours, they had just managed to bring Yang Family Master back from the brink of death.

Yang Family Master’s arms and legs were amputated, the areas nibbled by rats were too infected.

If not treated urgently, other parts of his body would have also necrotized to varying degrees.

Seeing the wheeled out Yang Family Master, the faces of the Meng Family Patriarch and Family Head Lin turned utterly grim.

They had assumed Yang Family Master had only suffered minor external injuries, never expecting the wounds to be so devastating. His face was completely disfigured.

Lying on the hospital bed, the usually imposing Yang Family Master now appeared lifeless; gone was the chilling dominance.

He lay there, like a stray cat or dog by the roadside, anyone could kick him.

Initially, the Meng Family Patriarch and Family Head Lin had hoped to obtain some clues from Yang Family Master.

But now, seeing him in this state, both were well aware that Yang Family Master was effectively finished.

For them, a broken man had no value.

Out of pity or something else, they instructed the hospital staff: "Arrange the best doctor, the finest ward, and the most excellent nursing staff for Yang Family Master."

Normally, such orders would not be theirs to give.

But since those in the Yang Family who had authority were restricted and the others were either hiding or lacked the qualification to command here, it fell to them.

After the patient was moved into the ward, they too turned and left.

For a man no longer of use, ensuring him the best care was a way to honor past connections.

Song Ye and his team searched Yang Mansion for a whole day and finally collected all the evidence they wanted.

Without delay, they submitted it.

Under surveillance, their materials swiftly proceeded through green channels unobstructed.

The case investigators had never handled such a smooth case; they didn’t need to seek out evidence themselves.

Whatever evidence they needed, someone immediately supplied them with relevant and detailed proof.

Thus, the efforts of many attempting to trip them up or delay proceedings were in vain.

In less than three days, a verdict was reached.

The culprits within the Yang Family, including Yang Family Master in the ward and the half-dead housekeeper, were swiftly arrested.

However, considering their severe injuries, they were simply placed under custodial hospital care.

What remained was compensations; most assets personally owned by Yang Family Master went towards compensating the victims.

Victim Yun Ran clung tenaciously to Yang Mansion.

She even issued a declaration: "Unless I get Yang Mansion, I will not remove the chains from my body."

While other victims’ families coveted Yang Mansion, they were well aware it was beyond their entitlement.

With no challengers, Yang Mansion naturally fell into Yun Ran’s hands.

Holding the freshly minted property deed,

Yun Ran’s smile was exceptionally harmless: "I told you from the start, this would be mine."
