Blake nodded. "Brother Yin, I may not be able to properly entertain you for a while. Please forgive me."
Gong Yixue shook her head and said, "It's alright, respect for the dead is paramount."
"I need to inform my family, so please excuse me."
Gong Yixue nodded. "Please go ahead."
Then Ye Mohan and Gong Yixue returned to their room.
“It seems that R City attaches great importance to this research institute,” Gong Yixue said.
"Yes." Ye Mohan nodded and said, "You should know that the research institute has contributed a lot to the economy of R City."
Having lost this major financial backer, how could R City not take it seriously?
Gong Yixue nodded, "It seems we'll be able to leave here soon."
"Um."
"I wonder if our two little darlings miss us." Gong Yixue's eyes filled with tenderness as she thought of her children.
Ye Mohan stepped forward and put his arm around her, "Soon we'll be able to go back and be reunited as a family."
...
In the following days, the Atreus family held a grand funeral for Conrad.
It wasn't until after Conrad's burial that internal conflicts within the Atreus family suddenly erupted.
After all, Conrad is dead, and now it's time for everyone to start fighting for power and profit.
If not now, when?
The argument escalated, even escalating into a physical fight, and the meeting ended in discord.
That night, Blake was assassinated.
Fortunately, Gong Yixue discovered him in time and saved his life.
After regaining consciousness, Blake thanked Gong Yixue upon learning the news.
Gong Yixue waved her hand, saying it was no trouble at all.
After all, she did this simply because she didn't want Blake to die.
Otherwise, dealing with the troublesome situation caused by the Atreus family would be quite troublesome.
Just then, the butler rushed over in a hurry.
"It's terrible, young master! The master has been assassinated!"
"What did you say!" Upon hearing this, Blake hurriedly got off the bed, almost tripping in the process.
Fortunately, Gong Yixue was there to support her.
However, Blake was not in a hurry to thank Gong Yixue.
He was completely absorbed in what the butler had said.
The butler, his face filled with sorrow and a hint of fear, said, "Madam just sent word that Master has been assassinated, but we don't know the specifics."
Upon hearing this, Blake no longer cared about his narrow escape and hurriedly left with the help of the butler.
Gong Yixue frowned.
She wasn't Blake, so she naturally knew about the situation and that it must have been Conrad's other children who had done it.
She didn't know exactly who it was.
The next day at noon, Blake returned as if he had lost his soul.
Gong Yixue learned from him that although Blake's father, Riley, was not dead, he might have to spend the rest of his life in bed.
Moreover, due to severe emotional fluctuations, he suffered a stroke and was unable to speak.
After Blake finished speaking, he remained silent and locked himself in the room.
Gong Yixue and Ye Mohan exchanged a glance, their eyes conveying a meaning they both understood.
However, there are still people around at this time, so we have to wait for the right time to talk.
Just as she was about to leave with the butler, Bright called out to Gong Yixue.
"Brother Yin, don't go, I have something to tell you."
Gong Yixue stopped and exchanged a glance with Ye Mohan, then said, "Go outside and wait for me."
Ye Mohan nodded.
One Blake wasn't enough to make him worry about Gong Yixue's safety.
After everyone had left, Blake finally spoke up, "Brother Yin, why did you ask me before if I wanted to be the heir to the Atlantean family?"
He hadn't thought much of it at first, but after 'Brother Yin' asked him the question, a series of bad things happened to the Atreus family.
First it was Grandpa, then Father, and now him. I wonder who will be next.
Gong Yixue didn't think anything of it when Blake asked about it.
If he doesn't ask anything, it makes people even more uneasy.
Gong Yixue said, "To be honest, the reason I left in such a hurry last time was because something happened at home."
The situation was ultimately dire, and knowing I couldn't change anything, I left on my own.
"I wonder if I had taken better control of the family earlier, would we have avoided this situation of siblings killing each other?"
Upon seeing you, I couldn't help but ask.
"So that's how it is."
The shared economic background led Blake to develop a strong liking for Gong Yixue.
He also shared many heartfelt thoughts with Gong Yixue.
"I've visited my dad; he probably won't be able to live without someone taking care of him for the rest of his life."
My mother cried and grabbed my arm, wanting me to leave, not wanting me to become a victim of family infighting, but how could I accept that!
"They ruined my dad's life, why should I have to hide from them?"
"I'm not leaving! I'm determined to find out the truth and take the position of head of the Atlantean family!"
After a long silence, Gong Yixue asked, "Are you really sure? Along the way, we might accidentally repeat what happened tonight, and the Atre family may not be as clean and wonderful as you think."
Blake sneered, "Of course I've thought it through."
"As for the matter of the Atreus family that you mentioned, I naturally know a little about it as well."
But 'Brother Yin,' you must believe me. Once I take power, I will definitely lead the Atlantean family in a positive direction, and I will make it a dignified and respectable family."
Gong Yixue nodded with satisfaction after listening.
Blake looked sincerely at Gong Yixue and said, "Brother Yin, would you be willing to stay and lend me a hand?"
Although he couldn't explain why, he felt more at ease as long as Brother Yin was around.
Gong Yixue nodded.
Her intention was to get Blake to do that.
Now that everything is being discovered as she expected, she is naturally more than willing.
Over the next two weeks, with Gong Yixue as his strategist and Ye Yunhen and Youju secretly helping him, Blake quickly uncovered the true culprit who assassinated his father and himself.
That person was none other than his good second uncle.
Bright stared at the bound Sandy Att and roared, "Why! My dad is your older brother! How could you do this to him! Do you know you've ruined his life?!"
Sandy Att didn't think he had done anything wrong. "What big brother? If he were really my good big brother, why would he compete with me for the position of family head? He deserves everything he has now!"
Blake slapped him across the face.
Sandy Art still stood up straight.
He didn't think he had done anything wrong.
"The victor is king, the loser is villain. I lost, and that's it. Do whatever you want with me."
Blake closed his eyes in disappointment and ordered, "Cripple Sandy Att's legs, then throw him out of R City."
Upon hearing this, Sandy Att finally became frightened.
"You can't do this! I'm your second uncle! This is utterly disrespectful..."
"Take him away," Blake ordered coldly.
