Noting Gong Han's silence, Lin Yin had no choice but to press forward. “Whether it’s the Fu family or the Huo family, they’re tough to handle. Are you certain you can obtain what you desire by demanding a tiger’s skin? I believe the Huo family and Fu family are aiming at the eight great families. Now that you’ve learned too much, they won’t let you go.”

Silence enveloped Gong Han. She was well aware of this truth, yet she managed a bitter smile in the end. “As long as I can safeguard my brother and parents, I don’t care.”

“Back in the day, the Gong Family stood among the eight great families too. Are you confident they’ll honor their word and spare the Gong Family?” Lin Yin fixed her gaze on Gong Han and questioned.

“My parents stayed out of that battle, though. Worst case, I’ll have them sever ties with the Gong family! We didn’t share in their glory, so why drag us down in their downfall? I trust the Fu family won’t stoop that low!” Gong Han replied in a rush.

A cold smile crept across Lin Yin’s face as she observed the agitated Gong Han. “So it really is the Fu family!”

Gong Han froze briefly, then grasped that her secret was out. Her face hardened, and her voice grew rigid. “You’ve uncovered what you needed. Please leave my Gong Ze alone from now on.”

Lin Yin understood Gong Han’s intent to shield Gong Ze from clashing with the Fu family over their connection.

Whether the Mu family could overpower the Fu family remained uncertain, but the Gong family stood no chance against them currently.

Lin Yin let out a mocking sneer. “Sister Gong Han, I never thought you’d be this naive.”

Gong Han paid no heed to Lin Yin and departed the ward.

Yue Xi faced a thorough investigation, leading to the Yue Family’s total collapse.

Lin Yin had caught wind of rumors concerning the Yue brothers.

Those individuals had clearly meant to degrade the Yue brothers, forcing them to use their true names while serving clients. Their humiliation spread far, with scandals and images reaching the capital.

With the Yue family gone from the eight aristocratic families in the capital, the Fu family had taken their place.

The tragic demise of Gong Luo’s family of three shook Old Master Gong to his core, landing him in the hospital. Control of the Gong family now rested with Gong Ze.

Yet this mishap plunged the Gong family into turmoil, sparking endless infighting, and leaving Gong Ze to sort out numerous business woes.

After that day, Gong Han vanished without a trace. Her whereabouts remained a mystery.

True to Lin Yin’s prediction, Huo Ge escaped any charges for shooting Gong family members and stayed on the run.

Following Wei Chuan’s incident, tensions between the third and second branches erupted into the open.

What Lin Yin hadn’t foreseen was how tight Feng Yu had grown with Wei Wei. At lunch, she even inquired specifically about Su Su’s take on her.

Su Su just shook her head, replying, “I’m not certain. Since her family’s death, I haven’t laid eyes on her for months. No idea what’s on her mind, but Wei Wei doesn’t strike me as trustworthy. I worry she’ll get toyed with and discarded.”

Lin Yin’s brows furrowed. She had warned Feng Yu that her nature made a future with Wei Wei impossible.

Does love truly blind one so?

“Wei Ji hardly shows up these days either. Sigh, remembering how the four of us used to travel together back then, now only us two remain,” Su Su murmured dispiritedly, chewing her meat.

Lin Yin nodded. It did seem that way.

The moment afternoon classes wrapped up, Lin Yin headed straight home.

Mu Cheng’s birthday fell on the next day. Sun Yun hoped he’d return to the Mu family’s old residence for the celebration, so Lin Yin intended to join the Mu family tomorrow.

The Mu family dinner buzzed with warmth, though talk of the capital’s upheavals inevitably surfaced at the table.

Mu Heng eyed Lin Yin with concern. “Yinyin, stay vigilant and have someone watch out. Lately, the capital feels far from stable.”

Lin Yin nodded back. “You as well. I warned you before about the Fu and Huo families—don’t drop your defenses.”

After the family shared their worries, Ye Wen let out a sigh. “The Wei family’s in chaos now. Your Aunt Ning Sheng visited me two days ago, asking for aid. The second branch is getting pushed around by the third.”

Ye Wen sighed again. “But the next day, Old Master Wei approached your grandfather, insisting it’s a Wei family affair and outsiders should steer clear. He relayed that to your father and me too.”

Lin Yin was familiar with these events, yet she asked puzzled, “Is Grandpa Wei backing the third branch?”

Otherwise, Lin Yin couldn't understand why Wei Ming had cautioned Ye Wen against meddling and supporting the second branch.

Ye Wen shook her head. “I’m not sure now.”

Lin Yin recalled Wei Ji, whom she had seldom seen lately, and worry inevitably gripped her. She feared that Wei Ji might suffer in this fierce power struggle.
