Chapter 1858: Chapter 842: Wolves, Tigers, and Leopards

Behind them, Suo Zi and Uncle Zi exchanged glances as they watched Suo Wuxin, who had already walked ahead, barely visible in the distance.

But soon, they too immediately led the team and followed up.

Some matters didn’t need to be discussed between Suo Zi and Uncle Zi; Uncle Zi understood what had transpired.

However, helplessly, both Uncle Zi and Suo Zi were insignificant figures, unable to do much. At most, they could secretly pass on messages in hope that Fang Yu could smoothly endure this crisis.

Considering the current situation, the safest course for Uncle Zi and Suo Zi was to immediately sever ties with Fang Yu.

But some actions, even if not optimal, must be carried out.

Uncle Zi, deep in thought, felt a sense of helplessness regarding the potential conflicts that might arise.

Moreover, according to intelligence, it wasn’t just Suo Ru that was imprisoned at the Bo Mansion.

The siblings from the Qian family were also trapped there.

On ordinary days, if Qian Wu were imprisoned by the Bo Mansion, the Qian family would come to demand his release — though the timing and method were unpredictable. After all, the Qian family couldn’t compare to the Bo family, with the latter having superior status and strength.

But just like the current mindset of the Suo family, the Bo family now appeared as a drowning dog, universally despised. Everyone wanted a share, so how could the Qian family miss such a golden opportunity?

Anyone with solid information was likely rallying forces to create a stir now.

However, with Mr. Diao’s presence, the Qian family’s ability to stir trouble would be significantly limited.

Until the final full-blown conflict, everything would remain mere skirmishes, with mutual probing and defense as the primary tactics.

Apart from Qian Wu, the Qian family’s daughter had additional support...

Zi Shu remembered Miss Ji Jin, who was closely connected with the Qian family’s daughter.

With the Ji family’s level of influence, they surely wouldn’t pass up a chance to kick the Bo family while they’re down, eager to claim a share of the inheritance.

Thus, the situation became quite intricate.

Surrounded by a pack of wolves, Mr. Diao really made a rather unfortunate move.

Uncle Zi sighed again, seeing through some matters but was unable to clearly articulate them. He was only a minor figure within the Suo family, merely drifting along with the currents.

...

"Qian Xupeng from the Qian family, here to visit the Bo Mansion!"

Just as Fang Yu sent away the group from the Suo family, unexpectedly, a loud voice echoed from outside.

This was far more audacious than the group from the Suo family; the voice reverberated directly within the Bo Mansion, clearly intent on provocation!

What nerve!

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes.

The Qian family? Isn’t that the family of Qian Wu and his sister?

So, are they here to demand people now?

Everyone in the hall turned their gazes uniformly towards Fang Yu.

After the previous events, everyone in the Bo family completely obeyed Fang Yu. Naturally, with visits like these, decisions would be made by Fang Yu.

Truth be told, an outsider holding such a high position within a family is exceedingly rare.

But the contributions Fang Yu had made to the Bo family far surpassed that of ordinary people, earning their trust was only natural. Coupled with the endorsement of Bo Changquan, he virtually held the position of second-in-command, above everyone else under one leader.

"Let them..."

Just as Fang Yu was about to make a decision, he seemed to sense something, lowered his voice, and slowly closed his mouth, only his lips slightly curved upwards.

In the next moment, a resonant voice echoed from outside, its volume surpassing even the brazen Qian family’s entourage.

"Visitors from afar are guests; as you have come, follow me in."

The voice unmistakably belonged to... Bo Changquan!

He was back!

Moreover, he must be right at the Bo Mansion’s entrance, having encountered the people from the Qian family.

The resounding voice served both as a rebuke to the Qian family and as a signal, instilling confidence in the people within the mansion.

Indeed, the people in the hall immediately became excited upon hearing Bo Changquan’s voice.

"The master has returned!"

"The Family Head is back! We are safe now!"

"One after another — first the Suo family, now the Qian family; do they really think our Bo family is easy to bully?"

"With the master here, all worries are dispelled!"

"Let’s go! Out to greet the master!"

A huge crowd rushed outside, leaving Fang Yu alone in the hall, leisurely heading out.

With Bo Changquan around, he didn’t need to worry.

Sure enough, as he approached the entrance, the Qian family team that should be lingering there had already fled with their tails between their legs like beaten dogs, long gone.

Bo Changquan was surrounded by a group of excited people; noticing Fang Yu’s arrival, Bo Changquan smiled at him, acknowledging him.

Fang Yu nodded, about to step forward to join them, when unexpectedly...

"Miss Ji Jin from the Ji family, upon hearing of troubles at the Bo Mansion, has come to offer her condolences!"

A high-pitched voice sounded from outside.

Unexpectedly, another group had arrived.

However... Ji Jin?

Fang Yu found the name somewhat familiar but didn’t dwell on it.

Seeing Bo Changquan moving forward to deal with them, Fang Yu thought for a moment and turned towards his own quarters.

After the incident at the Bo Mansion, many forces came hoping to pick up scraps.

Some of these were easily repelled.

But some required even Bo Changquan to handle delicately.

Such troublesome matters were something Fang Yu was disinclined to get involved in; with that time, he might as well go back and check on how Ding Hui was handling the Supreme Golden Petal Flower.

Arriving in front of his quarters, even before entering, Qian Wu and his sister eagerly came forward.

"Was it our Qian family that came to pick us up just now?"

Qian Wu asked excitedly.

Qin Er looked equally tense.
