CHAPTER 2719: CHAPTER 2720: DRIVE HIM AWAY!

"Wouldn’t it be better if he slowed down a bit?"

Lin Changhong’s lips curled slightly. As for Lu Tianfeng, he couldn’t wait for this person to finish immediately.

Unfortunately, Lu Tianfeng was someone they couldn’t touch for now. This was something his sister had said.

"Don’t worry about that person. Hurry up and get your reward."

"Yes, the reward."

Upon hearing Lin Changhong’s reminder, only then did Yuan Jue and his companion remember that they needed to claim their reward.

This important matter must not be forgotten.

...

Sky City, Yuan Family.

The news that the Ling Family offended the City Lord’s Mansion spread throughout Sky City overnight.

Many people from the Ling Family were directly arrested, and some were even found to have committed numerous wrongdoings and were directly eradicated.

Lord Lu Tianlan, did not show any leniency towards the Ling Family.

Within the Ling Family, everyone knew who had ultimately offended the City Lord’s Mansion—it was that Eldest Miss Ling, who was determined to go to the Sea Vast Forest, and thus offended the City Lord’s Mansion.

But no one knew which person from the City Lord’s Mansion she had offended?

Why was it that even after entering the Sea Vast Forest, she was thrown out, requiring the City Lord himself to issue an order, nearly bringing down the entire Ling Family?

"Why is he coming to see the family head?"

Within the Yuan Family, a guard who arrived in a hurry was caught by Madam Yuan.

Upon hearing that the head of the Ling Family had come to seek help, Madam Yuan furrowed her brows, immediately displeased.

She had never liked that Eldest Miss Ling, Ling Xue’er. Back then, if she hadn’t strongly opposed it, even threatening her husband, saying that if he dared to arrange a marriage with the Ling Family for their son, she would die.

It was likely that the Yuan and Ling families would have become in-laws, and now they would be implicated, wouldn’t they?

"Madam, it seems the head of the Ling Family came to ask the family head to go to the City Lord’s Mansion to plead on their behalf," the guard replied honestly to his mistress.

Of course, in the guard’s heart, what the head of the Ling Family was doing was putting the Yuan Family in a difficult position!

The order was personally issued by the City Lord. Who dared defy it?

Who would dare to plead on their behalf?

"Ha!"

Madam Yuan couldn’t help but laugh coldly.

He pampered his daughter into such a brat, daring enough to poke a hole in the sky, yet he had the gall to come to the Yuan Family seeking someone to plead on his behalf?

"Get rid of him!"

"But... Madam, if the family head finds out, it might be hard to explain." The guard also wanted to drive the person away.

But considering the relationship between their family head and the head of the Ling Family, if they drove the person away like this, how could he explain it to the family head? He would surely face punishment.

However, he definitely had no desire to inform the family head, afraid that if the family head’s compassion took over and the situation backfired, they would all be in trouble.

Even as a guard, he needed to keep the Yuan Family secure, not allowing it to be brought down by unworthy associations.

Not to mention that this would implicate him as well!

"Stop being so verbose. Just go and drive him away. I will handle the family head," Madam Yuan glared sternly at the guard and said.

This Yuan Family would eventually be handed over to her son. As a mother, she had to protect the family’s vast assets for her son, not allowing them to be squandered by outsiders.

Furthermore, before marrying into the Yuan Family, it wasn’t as powerful, and she had contributed to its growth and success.

How could she allow her efforts to go up in flames, right?
