Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Holding the paperwork for the transfer of assets from the Wang and the Mu families, Ying Chao smiled with great satisfaction.

After praising Ying Mei’er profusely, Ying Chao then said to her with a smile as if he had just remembered something, “As I promised you before, you can go to our Ying family’s weapon vault later and pick an A-class weapon!”

As Ying Chao finished speaking, Ying Mei’er was not too shocked. She simply bowed and cupped her hands respectively to Ying Chao with an extremely calm expression.

“Mei’er thanks the Patriarch. I will definitely continue to serve the family to the best of my ability!”

“Alright. You can go now. There is nothing else for you here.”

After seeing Ying Mei’er expressing her loyalty, Ying Chao didn’t say anything else, but waved his hand, indicating that Ying Mei’er could leave now.

“Yes, Patriarch.”

Ying Mei’er nodded extremely respectfully, turned around and withdrew from Ying Chao’s study.

After Ying Mei’er turned around and left, Ying Chao put the transfer paperwork for the Wang and Mu families’s assets into the safe with the utmost care.

“The Wang and Mu families have suffered such a big loss this time. I’m afraid they will plot something big. Looks like I have to be more careful.”

As the head of the Ying family, one of the four great families, Ying Chao was not stupid. Not surprisingly, he did not believe that the Wang and Mu families would just hand over their assets so meekly.

Behind all this, there must be secrets and other matters that he was not aware of.

When he thought of this, Ying Chao once again summoned the Seventh Elder of the Ying family, Ying Tianlai, over.

“Tianlai, find a way to dig out what things the Wang and Mu families are plotting right now! ”

“It’s best if you can get the specific details. Give me a complete picture. Our

Ying family will never allow such small families that can’t even present themselves in public to lead us by the nose!”

After listening to Ying Chao’s instruction, Ying Tianlai hurriedly nodded his head and said in reply to Ying Chao, “Patriarch, please rest assured that I will definitely find out all the details about this matter.”

As Ying Tianlai spoke, he cupped his hands respectfully at Ying Chao.

After Ying Tianlai acknowledged his order from Ying Chao, he turned and retreated from the study.

Upon returning to his own office, Ying Tianlai summoned all the leaders of the Ying family’s intelligence agency under his charge to his office.

“Greetings, Seventh Elder. Why have you summoned us here, Seventh Elder?”

The various leaders inquired of Ying Tianlai as they bowed respectfully in greeting to him.

Sweeping his gaze over his subordinates, Ying Tianlai nodded and said, “The reason I summoned you all is that I have received the Patriarch’s order!”

“The Patriarch has issued an order for us to quickly find out if there is anything unusual going on in the Wang and Mu families.”

After hearing Ying Tianlai’s words, the group of leaders were slightly stunned. Then they said to Ying Tianlai, “Seventh Elder, you’ll have to ask Wu Yi about this. Wu Yi has always been responsible for collecting the intelligence on these families.”

After listening to the words of his subordinates, Ying Tianlai turned his gaze to a figure standing in the far corner dressed in black.

“Wu Yi, then you tell me. Have you discovered any useful information recently?”

In the face of Ying Tianlai’s inquiry, the figure named Wu Yi walked out, bowed to Ying Tianlai and replied, “Seventh Elder, according to the recent information my men have dug out, there is indeed something unusual going on within the

Wang and the Mu families.”

“Oh? What did you discover that was unusual?”

Ying Tianlai hurriedly asked him when he heard that Wu Yi had indeed found something.

“It’s like this, Seventh Elder. The other day, according to the reports from some scouts under me…

“We found that the Wang and Mu families recently transferred a huge amount of money to an unknown destination. ”

“After discovering this matter, we immediately increased the monitoring of the Wang and Mu families.”

“But until now, we still haven’t been able to find out where this sum of money had gone!”

As Wu Yi reported, he gulped a few times and glanced at Ying Tianlai with some trepidation.

Outsiders may not know the true character of this Seventh Elder of the Ying Family, but his subordinates were very clear.

Ying Tianlai might appear gentle and refined under normal circumstances, but in fact, privately, if any of his men made some minor mistakes, the Seventh Elder of the Ying family would turn into a completely different character and become extremely cruel!

Sure enough, without waiting for Wu Yi to react, Ying Tianlai, who was sitting on the sofa initially, sprang up suddenly and rushed to Wu Yi straightaway.

Immediately afterwards, Ying Tianlai raised his hand and grasped Wu Yi’s head, pressing him viciously to the ground.

Thud…

Along with a dull collision sound, Wu Yi’s head smashed into the floor so hard the floor shattered into fragments. His whole being became all bloodied from his bleeding head.

Even so, Ying Tianlai was still not appeased and he lifted his foot again and stomped on Wu Yi’s head brutally.

“You still haven’t found out the details up till now?”

“You guys really think this elder here is such a nice guy. It’s just two small families, yet you still can’t find out the details of such a small matter!”

“You guys tell me. What’s the point of our Ying family keeping useless scum like you around?”

Ying Tianlai was extremely brutal and kept venting his anger. From time to time, he stomped Wu Yi’s head viciously to the ground.

In such a situation, the other leaders trembled and did not dare to raise their heads to look at Ying Tianlai.

After a while, Ying Tianlai kicked the unconscious Wu Yi to a corner of the room and took out a handkerchief to wipe his shoes before throwing it to the side disdainfully.

Thereafter, he turned to the whole group and said menacingly, “I don’t care what methods you use. Even if you expose all of our Ying family’s moles in the Wang and Mu families, you have to find out what the Wang and Mu families are up to!”

“In particular, find out where that large sum of money from the two families went!”

“Have you guys… understood?”

Ying Tianlai growled, as his slanting eyes stared viciously at the group of men.

Under Ying Tianlai’s glare, several of his men hastily nodded their heads desperately.

“We understand. Please rest assured, Seventh Elder. We will definitely do our best to complete the task given to you by the Patriarch as soon as possible!”

After Ying Tianlai listened to his men, he nodded nonchalantly and responded in a low voice, “Hmph. All right. You may go!”

“Take that garbage away from me. It annoys me no end to see him! ” Ying Tianlai said, waving his hand in disgust.

Upon hearing this, the other subordinates hurriedly rushed forward to help Wu Yi up from the floor and quickly fled Ying Tianlai’s office.

After dismissing his subordinates, Ying Tianlai slowly closed his eyes, seemingly thinking about something.

Meanwhile, Lu Yu had already cooked the third chunk of S-class beast meat into a dish in accordance with the method detailed in the ‘Sky Valley Culinary Method.’

When Lu Yu gobbled down the few dishes he made himself, a system prompt from his Gluttony Talent rang out in his mind immediately.
