Chapter 50: Cheng Family's Predicament

The Cheng Family Mansion.

Before the somewhat desolate stone-paved plaza.

The core figures of the two branches of the Cheng Family were all gathered here, along with many loyal servants, including Brother Cheng, whose chest was wrapped in bandages.

Nearly a hundred people crowded together, a dense sea of heads, all waiting for news.

Cheng Lian'Er stood in the hall, her eyes somewhat lifeless. She hadn't expected that Qian Neng's death would cause such massive turmoil for the Cheng Family's businesses months later.

Shortly after, Patriarch Cheng—the septuagenarian Cheng Yong—walked into the hall, supported by two middle-aged men. When he saw Cheng Lian'Er standing at the front of the hall, his footsteps paused.

He let out a somewhat dejected sigh but didn't speak. Continuing forward under everyone's gaze, he stood at the highest point and looked down at the crowd.

Everyone's gaze focused on him.
