These past few months have not only been the most difficult time for Ouyang Yunruo, but also his nightmare.

He went from a man of power and status to a cripple; heaven knows how he got through it.

He did want revenge, but he failed, which is why he went into complete hiding during this period.

Now that he is unable to take revenge, he has chosen to go into hiding.

But he won't give up because of that!

He was waiting for an opportunity. An opportunity to finally get his revenge.

Old Master Nie sighed, his face showing signs of age, "How could I not know? But we don't have the strength now. If we make new enemies, the Nie family won't be able to withstand it."

The Nie family of today is no longer the Nie family of a year ago, which had some reliable connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles.

Nowadays, any powerful family could uproot the Nie family, let alone the reclusive Dongfang family.

Nie Bin frowned; he understood his father's meaning perfectly.

Over the past year, not only did he bear everything he shouldn't have promised, but his father did too.

That year, my father aged a lot.

Just as he was about to speak, Ouyang Yunruo spoke first.

“Grandpa, even if we choose to settle this peacefully, the Dongfang family will not let us off the hook.”

Upon hearing this, the two looked at Ouyang Yunruo with the same puzzled expression.

"Why?" Old Master Nie asked, puzzled.

Under their gazes, Ouyang Yunruo spoke, "Because the culprit who caused the Ouyang and Nie families to be in this state before has a very close relationship with the Dongfang family. And this time they are also with the Dongfang family, so our people's involvement probably can't be hidden from them."

Nie Bin and his grandfather looked extremely grim.

They all knew that this time, it would probably be just as Ouyang Yunruo had said, and it would be no easy task to settle things peacefully.

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Ouyang Yunruo pressed on, "Grandpa, Uncle, let's go all the way, otherwise the Nie family will really be finished this time! Besides, we still have some influence, we can definitely take care of them."

Nie Bin remained silent.

Old Master Nie said, "Shut up! Jiang Lie couldn't accomplish this even with the combined forces of three parties, do you think the Nie family can do it with its current strength?"

Ouyang Yunruo said dismissively, "Don't we still have 'Dark Wolf'..."

"Ruo Ruo!" Old Master Nie said solemnly, "Even the Dark Wolves at their peak couldn't deal with them, let alone now that less than 30% of the 'Dark Wolves' are left."

Furthermore, they are now tied to the Dongfang family; do you think they can accomplish what you say so easily?"

Ouyang Yunruo said, "But... but we have to do it to know, otherwise what can we do? Even if we do nothing, they won't let us go!"

After much deliberation, Old Master Nie finally made a decision that was extremely difficult for him.

He looked at Nie Bin and said, "Bin'er, you and Ruoruo should leave Lancheng together."

Upon hearing this, Nie Bin frowned and said, "Father, I disagree."

"Bin'er," Old Master Nie said earnestly, "listen to your father's advice and leave Lancheng first. As long as we have people in the Nie family, we will always be able to rise again someday."

But if you're gone, then the Nie family and the Ouyang family will be truly finished!

After listening, Nie Bin remained silent.

He knew his father was telling the truth.

But now he's leaving like a stray dog, and his pride can't take the blow.

The same applies to Ouyang Yunruo.

"Grandpa, I've already been forced to leave once, do you expect me to leave a second time?"

You have no idea how difficult this past year has been for me abroad. Every single day while I was overseas, I was constantly thinking about how to come back and get revenge. Now that I'm finally back, I don't want to give up!

"Ruoruo!"

Ouyang Yunruo continued, "Grandpa, I know you mean well, but I don't want to think about it anymore. Jian Yixue and Ye Mohan ruined my family, and I will make them taste what they did! No matter the cost!"

When Grandpa Nie saw Ouyang Yunruo in this state, he was at a loss for words.

After listening, Nie Bin was filled with righteous indignation and said, "Father, I will not leave either. My sister's body is not yet cold and our great revenge has not been avenged. So will our Nie family."

Then he looked at Ouyang Yunruo and said, "Your uncle will go with you!"

Ouyang Yunruo said with some surprise, "Thank you, Uncle."

Seeing this scene, Old Master Nie could only sigh helplessly.

So be it. Since he's already willing to be punished, what does he have to fear now that he's practically half-buried in the ground?

"Alright, in that case, let's face it together!"

...

The Eastern Family.

Jian Yixue and Ye Mohan were taking a walk. In her late pregnancy, she would follow her doctor's advice and walk more to help with a smooth delivery.

Although the probability of a cesarean section is much higher for twins, she doesn't care whether it's a cesarean section or a vaginal delivery, as long as the baby is born healthy, that's enough.

She took a walk to do what she felt she should do, but she didn't really care about the final outcome.

Just then, Jian Yixue suddenly saw Youju, whom she had found.

Youju has been staying at the Dongfang family's residence during this time, helping her protect the two elders.

Seeing her approach, Jian Yixue said, "Youju."

"Boss, I heard you were looking for me." Youju walked over with a grin.

Jane nodded.

My mother just said she wanted to visit my maternal grandparents. She had originally planned to go, but my mother said that if there was nothing else going on, there was no need to make the trip back and forth. She said they would just go and visit my maternal grandparents.

Considering her current physical condition, where she needs someone to accompany her wherever she goes, she agreed.

She asked her mother to pass on a message to Youju, saying she needed to speak with her about something.

"You heard that you recently took Qingyan to the organization?"

Youju was taken aback, then nodded and said, "Yes, she said she wanted to visit me, so I took her there. What's wrong? Did Boss Feng complain to you?"

The more Youju talked about it, the more she felt it was true; otherwise, how could the eldest brother have known?

"It must be him! How could he be so petty? I clearly took Qingyan there secretly, but who knew he would catch us red-handed? He said it was nothing at the time, but then he turned around and complained to me. He's so unfair!"

Hearing Youju's words, Jian Yixue was both amused and exasperated, saying helplessly, "It has nothing to do with Youfeng. I heard it from somewhere else."

Yuju exclaimed in disbelief, "Impossible! He must have told on us!"

Jian Yixue smiled and said, "It really wasn't him. But that's not the point. The point is, don't you know that you can't easily bring in people who aren't insiders? I've reiterated this before. This is to protect the organization's personnel, who are also outsiders."

If our enemies find out that Qingyan knows the location of our organization and thus put themselves in danger, it will be too late for regrets.
