Chapter 434: To Become the Head of the Family
Jiang Hai Liu replied, "The Songling Group has offended many people. Its industry in the United States has encountered setbacks and its development in recent years hasn't been good; there are signs of...Chapter 434: To Be the Head of the House
The steward was worried, seeing Ouyang Wudi's condition. He gritted his teeth and spoke, "Yun Hongsheng was assassinated. The Yun family is in chaos and has suffered brutal retaliation from the Li family and the Si Kong clan. Please use visit this site. The Wang family has been silent, who knows what they are doing. The internal strife within the Ding family has ended, Ding Chan's plan failed."
At this point, the butler paused.
Looking at Ouyang Wudi's expression, there wasn't much change. He continued, "As for the Yuwen family, there's still no definite news coming back."
"Oh," hearing the butler's words, Ou Yang Wu Di's face was complex. His fingers lightly tapped on the table, muttering to himself, "I wonder how the big boss is doing Back then, I arranged for Pan Ming to be Yu Wen Wu Ji's secretary. This pawn finally played its role today. Hope the big boss doesn't disappoint me."
Just as Ou Yang Wudi's voice fell, hurried footsteps came from outside. The steward frowned and was about to speak when he saw Ou Yang Wudi's second son, Ou Yang Yingke, run in with a look of panic on his face.
"Dad, something's terrible happened," OuYang YingKe said, his face pale with panic. He didn't know what had gone wrong.
Seeing his son panicked like this, Ou Yang Wudi frowned, took a deep drag of his cigarette, and said in a cold voice: "What are you panicking about If the sky were to fall, I'd be there to stop it. What do you have to fear"
Ou Yang Yingke was stunned, but his expression was very complex.
"What happened You're acting so panicked." Ou Yang Wu Di glanced at Ou Yang Ying Ke, then silently took a drag from his cigarette. No one noticed that his right hand holding the cigarette was trembling slightly.
Ouyang Wudi held absolute authority within the Ouyang family. Even his sons were born with a natural fear of him. It's just that what happened tonight was too serious, so Ouyang Yingke disregarded everything and rushed in.
"Dad, I just received a message. Several of our bases, including the industry, have been severely impacted. Some important industries were even sealed by the government overnight, resulting in heavy losses." Eugene Ouyang's body trembled uncontrollably, his forehead covered in cold sweat, but he couldn't wipe it away.
It seemed as if he had expected this outcome all along. Ou Yang Wu Di took a deep drag of his cigarette, exhaled the smoke along with the frustration in his heart, and then calmly said, "Have you found out who's behind this"
When he spoke, he already had a vague idea of the answer in his mind.
"The Li family, the Si Kong family," OuYang Yingke gritted his teeth and continued, "It seems there's also the Wang family and the Yuwen family."
When Ou Yang Yingke finished speaking, the butler's face had turned pale. And Ou Yang Wu Di's body trembled slightly as well. This old man who remained composed even in the face of any danger seemed so helpless at this moment.
Because, since the establishment of the OuYang family, there has never been such a severe crisis. If it weren't for the Ding and Yun families being preoccupied with their own affairs, I'm afraid this time would be the other six major families uniting against the OuYang family Although four families attacking him wasn't like a planned affair, it instantly turned Ou Yang Wudi's face ashen.
This was his punishment. When other families chose their allies, he chose neutrality. Everyone knew that Ouyang Wudi was waiting for the right moment to choose the alliance most beneficial to the Ouyang family. This was both a brilliant and a disastrous strategy.
Because Ouyang Wudi was too good at calculating, this time he calculated himself in. He also didn't expect that the chaos would enter the decisive battle period so quickly, and he lost the best time to form an alliance.
At that moment, his fists were clenched tightly. The most respected elder in Linhai City appeared so frail at this instant. The cigarette still burning in his hand fell to the table, and the color drained from his face.
Seeing Ou Yang Wu Di's appearance, the butler immediately stepped forward to support him, his face full of deep worry.
Ouyang Yingke also took a step forward, his face complex and troubled, as if he was still struggling with something, his expression full of pain.
"Dad, what do we do now" Eugene asked, his voice trembling. "The council chamber is in an uproar, several uncles are..."
At this point, he hesitated for a moment, ultimately refraining from uttering the words that followed.
Yet Ouyang Wudi merely gave him a cold glance. By now, Ouyang Wudi had gradually calmed down and stared at Ouyang Yingke, asking, "Are they blaming me for not making the right choice at the right time"
"Dad, they all..." Ou Yang Ying Ke wanted to say a few words, but seeing Ou Yang Wu Di's gloomy eyes, he instinctively closed his mouth.
"Hmph"
Ouyang Wudi let out a cold snort and said, word by word, "A bunch of trash."
At that moment, the old man wasn't panicked, but deeply disappointed, disappointed in these people in his family.
He seemed a little tired and, with the help of the butler, slowly sat down in a chair. Then, waving his hand, he said, "You all go out. I'm a bit tired and want to rest for a while."
“Dad,” Ouyang Yingke’s face was full of worry. The family had encountered such a major incident, and everyone was waiting for Ouyang Wudi's decision. Outside, those uncles were arguing loudly. If they waited any longer, they would use the elders' authority to directly remove Ouyang Wudi's position as head of the family and hold him responsible for this decision-making error.
"Go on out. The sky is about to rain and a bride's getting married. Let them argue if they want." Ouyang Wudi waved his hand weakly.
Seeing that Ou Yang Yingke still hadn't left, Ou Yang Wu Di let out a cold laugh and said, "What, do you want me to go out and say a few words to you, so that you can become the head of the family, is that right"
Ou Yang Yingke was stunned, but remained silent, only bowing his head without speaking.
"Get out!" Ouyang Wuji suddenly snatched the ashtray from the table and hurled it at Ouyang Yingke.
Ou Yang Yingke did not dodge, letting the ashtray smash against him. Then, with a thud, he knelt down and said, "Dad, if we let our uncles take over, we'll be in big trouble."
Ouyang Wudi glanced at his son, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm not dead yet. The Ouyang family, they haven't reached the point where they can speak. You go out."
Ouyang Yingke's body trembled violently before slowly rising from the ground. However, his expression had become numb, his eyes filled with deep despair.
Just then, another person rushed in. Ouyang Yingke glanced at the man but felt very unfamiliar. He had never seen this person around his father before.
The man walked in without speaking, only glancing at Ouyang Yingke.hink he might be mentally traumatized. I think he needs a period of rest and he should improve." Jiang Xue said."Alright, then. You handle this."Baifeng now had no good solution, so she could only let...
