Due to various historical reasons, the Wu Family has been marked by the current national leader for heavy suppression.
Wu Xujie’s scheming not only failed but also accelerated the downfall of the Wu Family.
Upon hearing that his eldest grandson’s military position had been revoked and his second grandson’s position was also being targeted for suppression, Wu Youbai became so furious that he fainted on the spot.
Even though Wu Youbai held military power, he was getting old after all. Facing various reform measures, the military clan’s ethos of the Wu Family became their weakness, the sole loophole that led to their suppression.
By the time Wu Youbai came around, the decisions had already been made.
All the Wu Family’s private affairs became negative examples, including Liu Dongzhu’s armed kidnapping, Wu Huaidang’s [second branch] bigamy, and Wu Xujie’s covert operations to usurp positions and so forth. With everything laid out in the open, the once top-tier military clan could not withstand the concerted suppression of eighty percent of the upper echelons’ military positions.
In this process, the Zhou Family played the leading role and the Yan Family played a supporting role, while Xie Jingchen covertly investigated the various trades under the Wu Family’s private enterprise, providing the most crucial and compelling evidence to bring down the Wu Family.
For this purpose, Xie Jingchen secretly instructed his undercover subordinates to strike further, not even sparing the second branch from military-related arrests, becoming prisoners at the mercy of others.
Faced with a succession of incontrovertible evidence, the Wu Family was forced to surrender all their assets, and with Wu Youbai’s passing, the main branch head, Wu Huai Country, using some special means, disappeared abroad with his only son and wife.
During this sequence of events, the second branch daughter-in-law took Wu Xujie’s concubine back to her parents’ home, as Wu Xujie had been taken into custody. Thus, his concubine’s eight-month pregnant child became the second branch family head’s own grandchild.
Upon seeing this, Wu Xujie’s wife promptly took her daughter back to her parents’ home and swiftly filed for divorce from Wu Xujie.
The third branch of the Wu Family, due to not being involved in political positions, was impacted by the Wu Family’s military clan connections, causing all their grey-area industries to be seized. Eighty percent of the third branch’s assets were confiscated, barely managing to settle the various criminal charges.
It was a verification of the painful truth that they were skinned but not dead! Wu Huaimin, along with his wife and children, applied for immigration. Thanks to Wu Xuming’s foreign medical citizenship providing bail, and after spending some money, the family disappeared from the domestic scene as the judgments were settled.
The once towering tree collapsed thunderously within a mere three months.
Ten days after returning to her hometown in disarray, Yan Jinsu received a telegram from her husband, only then learning that a conclusion had been reached regarding the Wu Family’s situation.
Her once pent-up gloomy mood suddenly lifted:
Right, no matter what cards Yan Jinxian holds, so what? Now compared to Golden Finger, would she, Yan Jinsu, still fear her?!
The enlightened Yan Jinsu immediately called her husband, but unfortunately, she learned that he was out on a mission and not in the military, causing her distress.
Fortunately, when the telegram arrived, it also indicated that the goods her husband had sent had reached the post office. Only after acquiring the desired items did Yan Jinsu’s mood slightly improve.
However, it was already the end of November. Considering her husband’s busy mission, could he possibly rush back home for the New Year?
While pondering over her worries, Yan Jinsu still sought out a tricycle, agreed on a price with the driver, and then headed to the post office to collect her goods.
Before leaving, she had cleared out many resources and placed them in her husband’s Space Button—there was no other way, as the items couldn’t appear out of thin air and could only be sent over from the military by Xie Jingchen.
