Chapter 378 - 377 Pingnan Rebellion
Ye Wantong’s abduction had already reached the Ye Family. Initially, the information they received was that Su Yang had kidnapped Ye Wantong, which caused an uproar within the Ye Family.
For they could not fathom that it would be Su Yang who acted against Ye Wantong. After all, the Ye Family had been kind to Su Yang. How could he do such a thing?
However, piecing together various reports, it seemed that Ye Wantong did indeed accompany Su Yang to the underground parking lot, only to vanish afterward. In addition, the letter in which Mo Qianli had imitated Su Yang’s handwriting was also delivered to the Ye Family, leading them to suspect that Su Yang might have abducted Ye Wantong in a fit of rage, stemming from an unrequited passion for her.
Although Ye Zhenying was supportive of Su Yang, many in the Ye Family were dissatisfied with him. After all, they could not accept someone not of their lineage nearly stepping over the heads of the Ten Great Families.
Thus, with the spread of this news, these individuals immediately stood up, clamoring to deal with Su Yang. They even suggested that they should mobilize forces right away, invade Nanluo City, annihilate the Hou Family, and kidnap Su Yang’s relatives to force him to release Ye Wantong.
Ye Zhenying naturally rejected this proposal, believing there were too many doubts in this affair to take such action without certainty.
Despite the restraint within the Ye Family, the news still leaked to outsiders. Upon receiving this message, many became agitated. Some forces, hostile toward the Hou Family or harbouring enmity towards Su Yang, had previously hesitated to act.
Now, emboldened by this news and knowing that the Ye Family also harbored ill will towards Su Yang, they quickly got to work opposing the Hou Family and those aligned with Su Yang.
Amongst them, the Wang and Zhou Families were particularly conspicuous. The Wang Family had long been hostile towards the Hou Family, and at the last Dragon Head Meeting in Nanluo City, they had been forced to acknowledge the Hou Family as one of the Ten Great Families due to pressure from the Ye and Shangguan families. In fact, the Wang Family had always resented this matter.
