"By the way, I've never quite understood from the old man about our company's current situation," Ye Chen said.

"Actually, our company has been suppressed by several other major families. Moreover, the local families are quite well-known. If we really want to resolve this difficulty, we must overcome the bodies of these four major families."

"What? There are four major families?"

"Yes, their influence in the local area is quite significant. If we were to fight one-on-one, they might not necessarily be our match. But when these four families join forces, it becomes a rather tricky matter."

"I didn't expect the situation to be so complex. Alright then, if that's the case, let's leave this matter to be discussed in detail later. You go ahead and arrange for other matters, and we'll discuss the next steps of the action plan after we arrive."

"Okay, I understand, big brother Ye Chen. I'll wait for you over there."

After finishing the conversation and bidding farewell, the group turned and left the place.

"What's all this about you staying here overnight?"

It wasn't until after they were in the elevator that Lin Yaru voiced the doubts in her heart.

Lin Yaru thought at the time that even if she had to leave, she didn't really have much to take with her. A simple pack-up after returning would take roughly an hour; there was no need for an entire night.

"Previously, when the Sixth Master left, he mentioned that these people may already be scattered in every corner of the city. So, I wanted to probe a bit, to see if they truly exist here."

"Do they exist here? Are you still suspecting that all this is just smoke and mirrors?"

"To be honest, I do harbor some doubts in my heart, and besides, it's unclear why;if they truly were such a large group, they would need to take action against a young girl like you. I feel like there might be more to it."

"But didn't my grandfather repeatedly affirm that it was indeed his intention to act in such a manner? If so, could there be misinformation?"

"Precisely, I'm not sure about it. As for the person who conveyed the information, I can't guarantee their identity either. Moreover, even if they did take action, what benefits would it bring them? We're completely in the dark about this."

"Yeah, if you put it that way, it does seem a bit odd. So do we really have no other option, and must we let them lead us by the nose?"

"Perhaps, being led by the nose may help us find our ultimate way out. However, we cannot let them lead us on indefinitely. Otherwise, we'll end up losing our direction."

"Got it, I understand. Then we'll do as you say, we'll leave whenever you decide."

"Furthermore, there are some things about what happened back then that I don't know very clearly. So before I get there, I want to investigate the story that happened to you for any leads. I wonder if you're willing to cooperate?"

"Ha, to tell you the truth, if it were in the past, I definitely wouldn't reveal too much to you. But now that things have come this far, I don't believe there's any better option. Alright, no problem, I can tell you everything 100%."

"Alright then, let's go, we'll head back first."

Having said that, he just gave a signal to Anying, and then the three of them got up and left the hotel.

At this moment, Yang Da was still in the estate, having already dejectedly prepared to leave.

Looking at the half-dead Hei Hu lying on the bed, he really felt infuriated.

After all, Hei Hu had always been his most capable assistant and had helped him with many things.

Seeing him in his current condition, if he ever hoped to stand up again, the chances seemed very slim.

Yet, as he had been with him for so many years, Yang Da was still unwilling to give up everything so easily.

Even if there was a one thousandth chance, he was willing to give it a try.

Looking at his current physical condition, Yang Da had no idea where he had been injured.

Ever since they brought him back, Hei Hu had been in a comatose state, unclear what these people had done to him.

Every time Yang Da thought about it, he would get furiously frustrated.

They spoke of settling this matter peacefully, but this was far from a peaceful resolution.

His nephew, and now his most capable assistant, both were lying in bed, their fates unknown.

And in this war, it seemed that the biggest beneficiary was supposed to be Guo Tao, while his side seemed to have gained nothing.

"Mr. Yang."

Just at that moment, an elderly man approached and looked up at Yang Da.

This was a health Doctor who had been by Yang Da's side for almost ten years and his medical skills were indeed extraordinary.

"How is he doing now?"

"These people are truly vicious."

"What? Vicious? What do you mean?"

"The bones in both his wrists are shattered, and even the tendons in his arms have been pulled apart, so..."

"So what?"

Yang Da, noticing his hesitance, knew that probably what was to come was what he least wanted to hear.

"So, I'm afraid his hands are completely useless now; it's improbable they will ever function again."

"What do you mean 'useless'? Both hands are rendered useless? That can't be right. Aren't there any other options, like taking him to a major hospital for a thorough examination?"

"There's no need. I am now utterly certain of his condition. This kind of severe fracture is obvious and irreversible. Even if the bones were to knit together, his hands won't be able to reconnect."

"What about surgery? If we joined them with surgery, wouldn't that work?"

Yang Da looked truly worried.

He knew that Hei Hu's contact with the lines below was all managed through his hands.
