a whoosh, he pulled out a dagger from his boot. Then, holding the dagger in one hand, he quickly wiped it against his thumb with the other. Immediately, the sharp blade sliced through his thumb.Immedi...Chapter 435 Rebirth Through Fire

"It's fine, you can tell me. Just remember the website address:" Ouyang Wudi seemed to have known this person was coming long ago, and nodded, saying.

"I contacted the Li and Ou families. They said they would stop attacking, but only if Ou Yangliang takes charge of the Ou Yang family. They will help the Ou Yang family fight against the Yuwen and Wang families." The messenger began to speak.

Upon hearing his words, Ou Yang Yingke's mouth opened wide, his face filled with shock and unease. Afterward, as if he had thought of something, his body trembled violently, and his eyes became vacant.

Because he heard a name, the one called incompetent in the OuYang family: OuYang Ying Liang, his elder brother.

Ouyang Wuji glanced at the newcomer and said, "Go and talk to them again. I want to meet Li Bing and Sikong Yanran in person."

The visitor nodded and then turned to leave the room.

At this time, Ou Yang Wu Di had completely calmed down. Looking at Ou Yang Ying Ke who was trembling all over and whose face was pale, he said in a soft voice, "Your elder brother is crueler than you all, and more capable." After saying that, he walked straight towards the door, while the steward followed closely behind him.

After walking out of the room, Ou Yang Wu Di looked at the night outside and said lightly, "I'm afraid the boss is in great danger."

"Master, are you really choosing to let OuYang Yingliang be the head of the family" The butler asked cautiously beside him.

"He is after all my son, Ouyang Wu Di. He carries the blood of this family." Ouyang Wu Di gazed at the streaking meteor in the sky, then continued, "My eldest son, Ouyang Wu Di, could never be that despicable."

At this point, he paused for a long time, then chuckled wryly and continued, “He could unite the Li family and the Si Kong family to pressure him back. I knew then that this kid was even more ruthless and bold than his father. I'm not afraid of the family falling apart; I'm afraid that after it falls apart, no one will be able to shoulder the burden. That would be the true time when the Ouyang family is destroyed. I'm not afraid of the family suffering a catastrophic blow. How can a family possibly rise from the ashes if it hasn't experienced several defeats A powerful family, without a good leader, has only one outcome: true destruction. Instead of that, it's better to push the family into complete ruin. Only then will the new leader be able to be reborn from the ashes.”

By this point, Ouyang Wudi, who had been ashen-faced moments before, was gradually regaining his color. A hint of a smile even graced his lips. He gazed towards the distant east and continued, "Darkness gives way to light. Let's go, accompany me to greet the new helmsman of the Ouyang family."

The steward shivered, immediately following closely behind Ouyang Wudi.

Watching Ouyang Wudi's increasingly aged figure fade away, the butler let out a slight sigh in his heart. However, more than that, he felt worried for this old man. This time, the old man had staked the future of the entire Ouyang family against several other families. He used such a cruel method to choose his successor. This game was played dangerously, even causing the Ouyang family to lose its former glory overnight. However, after going through such hardship, under the leadership of the new helm, the future Ouyang family is likely to catch up to its current level very soon. It's ridiculous that those elders are still fighting for power. Since this old man has been able to steer the Ouyang family for decades, how could he make a wrong decision on such a critical matter

He was a cunning man, calculating even to the point of including himself as a pawn. Using himself as a chess piece, he surveyed the entire coastal city of Limhai. Only this old man dared to do so.

The butler understood better than anyone else, Xiang Tianhu was merely a pawn in Ouyang Wudi's grand scheme.

In Wu Xia's villa, Ye Fan returned to the living room. At this time, Wu Xia, in her pajamas, had made some new dishes. Seeing Ye Fan drink so much, she couldn't help but worry a little, but Ye Fan didn't feel drunk at all. Instead, he opened another bottle of wine.

It was already 10:55 p.m., half an hour had passed since the information online had spread. After a passionate love affair with Ye Fan, Wu Xia became more feminine. At this time, she was wearing pajamas sitting on the sofa, but it looked even more attractive. There was still a blush on her face that hadn't faded, making her incredibly charming.

"Come, Xiao Fan, let's have a drink." Wu Xia poured herself a glass of red wine and said with a smile.

Ye Fan raised his glass, touched it to Wu Xia's, and then drank it down in one gulp.

Just as he had put down his glass, the phone rang. He glanced at it; it was a stranger's number.

"Why don't you go to the study and answer the phone" Wu Xia said with a smile, seeing Ye Fan's awkward expression.

Ye Fan smiled at her, then picked up his phone and walked into the study.

Ye Fan walked into the study and stood by the window, then dialed a phone number.

"Hey, Ye Fan, are you a fellow enthusiast" A stern, somewhat aged voice came through the phone.

Ye Fan hesitated for a moment, and immediately guessed who was calling.

"Hello, Li Secretary," Ye Fan said with a smile.

"How could this young man have guessed my identity after hearing my voice every day" Secretary Li over there was taken aback for a moment, then burst into a random laugh.

"The person who called me at this time, I'm afraid it's only you, Secretary Li." Ye Fan understood very well why Secretary Li was calling him at this time. "Are you trying to say that I can't sit still" Secretary Li said jokingly. After a pause, he continued, "I heard that you are in the same class as my daughter."

Ye Fan blinked his eyes and then smiled: "I really like Teacher Li's class."

When he was speaking, his mind was filled with Li Xiangting's graceful figure and their wild moments in bed.

If Secretary Li on the other end of the phone knew Ye Fan's thoughts at this moment, he would probably be furious.

"Boy, you've really put me in a difficult position tonight." Li Shujì sighed with a wry smile. "In the end, I, an old man, have to come out and clean up the mess."

"Ah How could I possibly make Mr. Li uncomfortable" Ye Fan smiled awkwardly, but he didn't directly reveal the truth.

“Alright, let’s be straight with each other.” Secretary Li’s tone suddenly became serious, and an aura of authority emanated from the phone. Even through the phone, Ye Fan could feel the dignity of a superior figure emanating from Secretary Li.

"Just now, the order to arrest Vice Mayor Wei Da and Jiang Gang has been issued. I have convened an emergency meeting of the leadership team. This should satisfy you, right" Secretary Li's tone was laced with displeasure. Tonight's turmoil in Linhai City, with several prominent families clashing, had caused immense damage. As the leader of this city, he couldn't help but be furious that such events were unfolding under his watch.urity guard ten thousand yuan, and I haven't even asked for it back yet!
