Chapter 1080: The Fall of the Yin Family

Han Yixuan brought so many people to surround the Yin Family, and it was not simply to kill and silence them.

The most important thing was the task entrusted by her father.

Today, she happened to overhear her father issuing the order and learned about the imminent downfall of the Yin Family, seeking her father’s permission to come, just to vent her anger.

As for why her father harbored such deep hatred for the Yin Family, she wasn’t quite sure of the reason, only knowing they needed to pry open the mouths of the Yin Family to uncover some information.

Recalling her father’s stormy expression while instructing his subordinates in the Chen Palace, curiosity flickered in Han Yixuan’s eyes.

What in the world could enrage her father to this extent?

If the Yin Family perished today, all forces in Beijing would undergo a major reshuffle, and from then on, the Four Great Families in Beijing would no longer include the Yin surname.

Which family among the other noble houses would be the dark horse?

While Han Yixuan was resting, her men had already approached the members of the Yin Family.

One of the Short Country people stood before Yin Zhiqiang, asking in awkward Chinese, "Where have you hidden Lord Yibin?"

Lord Yibin was none other than the current Crown Prince, Han Yibin, the one who was discarded by Gu Jin back then.

Upon hearing her brother’s name, a complex expression appeared on Han Yixuan’s face.

It was definitely not a look of joy.

Two cultivators restrained Yin Zhiqiang from behind, rendering him powerless to resist.

Upon hearing the Short Country person’s questioning, he displayed a knowing, cold smile.

He opened his mouth, and blood trickled out.

Yin Zhiqiang uttered each word with effort: "He... is... dead!"

"Baka!" the Short Country person exclaimed in rage, raising a hand to slap him.

"Slap! Slap!"

After delivering two slaps, the Short Country person seized Yin Zhiqiang by the neck and menacingly questioned again: "He isn’t dead! I know you’ve hidden him. Just hand over Lord Yibin, and I may plead with Your Majesty to spare you."

Yin Zhiqiang’s eyes showed scorn: "He is already dead! Even if he weren’t, I couldn’t possibly tell you!"

"You’re courting death!"

The Short Country person’s eyes gleamed viciously as he kicked the man flying.

Dark energy spread from under his feet, an obvious aura of misfortune and evil.

"Pfft!"

Already severely injured, Yin Zhiqiang lost half his life due to the kick.

"Father!"

Seeing his revered father injured and treated so, Yin Geping erupted with immense power, breaking free from the restraints of those behind him and dashed towards his father.

He wasn’t the primary target for interrogation, and the person suppressing him had low cultivation, which allowed him to break free easily.

Yin Geping rushed forward and lifted Yin Zhiqiang from where he lay in a sorry state on the ground.

"Father, are you alright?"

Despite the tepid father-son relationship over the years, the blood ties between them were unbreakable.

Leaning against his son’s leg, Yin Zhiqiang saw the person who had been questioning him walking towards his younger brother.

He knew the downfall of the Yin Family was unavoidable now.

Yet he was unwilling to accept it!

The Yin Family couldn’t be destroyed in his hands.

Suddenly, using all his strength, Yin Zhiqiang tightly grasped Yin Geping’s hand.

He opened his mouth, and fresh blood gushed out.

"Cough, cough..."

Subsequently, continuous low coughing ensued, as if he was coughing up his very innards.

"Ge... Geping..."

"I’m here, I’m here!" Yin Geping clasped his hand back, his face filled with grief and alarm.

Even if the father-son relationship wasn’t close, it was due to Yin Zhiqiang’s nurturing and support in various places that Yin Geping had come this far.

If he made mistakes in childhood, his father would surely mete out strict discipline.

If he didn’t care, why would he be so stern?

It’s just that between father and mother, there are entanglements he could not involve himself in as a son.

He understood his father’s alienation over the years.

His coming into this world was rather unsavory.

It was through his mother’s act of drugging his father.
