I walk sideways in the game world

Chapter 212: The plot is broken and the chaos is stopped, and the disputes are finally settled

The mysterious man's laughter echoed throughout the room, sounding particularly harsh. Ren Xiaoyao stared at him with a sharp gaze, unmoved by his words. "The tip of the iceberg? Then I'll completely overturn this iceberg!"

He took a deep breath and recounted the clues he'd been secretly investigating. "You were secretly colluding with the people from Black Wind Village outside the city, using your family business to supply them with contraband, profiting hugely. The evidence is here..." He pulled out a letter from his pocket, the envelope bearing the iconic Black Wind Village seal. "This letter is irrefutable proof of your dealings with them!"

The Great Elder and the other family members' expressions suddenly changed upon hearing this. Although they were stubborn, they were not foolish. They had only been deceived by the mysterious man's sweet talk before, but now that the evidence was solid, they also realized the seriousness of the situation.

"What else do you have to say!" The Great Elder shouted angrily, pointing at the mysterious man with trembling hands, his eyes full of disappointment and anger.

Seeing his plot exposed, the mysterious man dropped his pretense. His face darkened, a fierce glint in his eyes. "Winners take all, losers take all. I have nothing to say!" Before he could finish his words, he flashed and made to flee.

"Want to leave? Not that easy!" Ren Xiaoyao was prepared. He moved and blocked the door. At the same time, the second young master, who had been silent, suddenly took action. The two of them joined forces to block the mysterious man's retreat.

"You...you guys!" The mysterious man was shocked and angry. He didn't expect that the second young master, whom he had always used, would turn against him at this time.

The second young master smiled coldly, his eyes no longer showing the previous arrogance and impulsiveness. "Although I am stupid, I am not foolish. Do you really think I don't know that you just want to use me, and your ultimate goal is to swallow up our entire family!"

The mysterious man was cornered by the two men. He knew that today would not end peacefully. A fierce gleam flashed in his eyes and he said viciously: "Since you are so ungrateful, don't blame me for being rude!"

At this moment, Xia Lin, who had been standing next to Ren Xiaoyao, suddenly stood up. She glanced at everyone present and slowly said, "Actually, all this..."

Charlene stood up and glanced around, scanning everyone before finally settling on the gloomy Mysterio. "Actually, he's the one behind all this," she said calmly, yet with undeniable certainty.

Everyone was stunned, their confused eyes moving back and forth between her and the mysterious man.

Xia Lin smiled faintly and continued, "Do you remember why the conflict arose between the Second Young Master and the Third Young Miss? Before the Patriarch went into seclusion, the successor had already been chosen, so why did the Great Elder continue to make things difficult for Ren Xiaoyao? And why did problems keep arising in the family business?"

When everyone thought about it carefully, they found that the occurrence of these events seemed to be inextricably linked to the appearance of the mysterious man.

"He first exploited the Second Young Master's impulsiveness and irritability to sow discord between him and the Third Young Lady, creating a rift within the family. Then, he took advantage of the First Elder's stubborn and conservative nature, constantly speaking ill of Ren Xiaoyao in his ear, causing him to resent Ren Xiaoyao and thus suppress and exclude him." Xia Lin's voice gradually turned cold. "Finally, he exploited the internal conflicts within the family to secretly manipulate the family business and reap huge profits. He even colluded with the Black Wind Village, putting the family in danger!"

As Charlene continued to tell the story, the doubts in everyone's minds gradually became clear. They then realized that they had been manipulated by the mysterious man all along, and they themselves were completely unaware of it.

The elder's face turned pale. He had always prided himself on being clever, but he had become someone else's pawn. His lips trembled as he tried to say something, but he found himself speechless.

"I..." After a long time, he uttered a word with difficulty, his eyes full of regret and guilt.

"Great Elder, you don't have to blame yourself." Ren Xiaoyao stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. "We were all blinded by him. Fortunately, there's still time for everything."

The Great Elder raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him who had been so difficult for him. He felt a mixture of emotions. He knew that he had wronged Ren Xiaoyao and underestimated his ability.

"Xiaoyao, I was confused before!" The Great Elder sighed, "I support you. From now on, you are the hope of the family!"

"Great Elder, you're too serious. We're all doing this for our family," Ren Xiaoyao said solemnly. "The most important thing now is that we work together to overcome this difficult time!"

The mysterious man looked at the scene before him and knew that his carefully planned plan had completely failed. A trace of viciousness flashed in his eyes, and he was about to fight to the death when he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from outside the door.

"What's going on?" asked the second young master.

The butler from another family walked in quickly, looking panicked, "The Patriarch... The Patriarch..."

The rapid breathing of the foreign housekeeper interrupted everyone's thoughts. He said breathlessly, "The master... the master... he came out of seclusion early! He's rushing here now!"

This news was like a huge rock dropped into a calm lake, stirring up a thousand waves. Everyone present knew what the patriarch's early exit from seclusion meant.

"Quick! Go clean it up!" The Great Elder was the first to react. He hurriedly directed everyone, "Clean this place up! Don't let the Patriarch see this filthy mess!"

No one dared to neglect the situation. The foreign steward directed the servants to clean up the mess in the arena. Broken weapons were collected, and the injured were sent for treatment. The originally tense atmosphere gradually dissipated, replaced by a tense atmosphere tinged with anticipation.

The Third Miss walked up to Ren Xiaoyao, her eyes filled with undisguised admiration: "Ren Xiaoyao, you are truly amazing! I have always misunderstood you. You are a true hero!"

Ren Xiaoyao smiled faintly: "Miss Third, you are too kind. I just did what I should do."

"No, you are stronger than we imagined." The second young master, who had been silent all this time, also came over. He looked at Ren Xiaoyao with a complicated look in his eyes. "I admit that I was too impulsive before and I underestimated you."

Ren Xiaoyao patted his shoulder without saying anything, but everything was said without words. He knew that after this incident, the family members' attitude towards him had changed drastically. They began to recognize him and even regarded him as the hope of the family's future.

The elder looked at the scene before him, his cloudy old eyes gleaming with relief. He knew that the future of the family would ultimately depend on these young people.

Just then, a steady sound of footsteps came from a distance. Everyone's heart trembled, and they turned to look at the entrance at the same time.

A tall and straight figure appeared in front of everyone. He walked steadily and looked majestic without even getting angry. It was the head of the family - Ren Tianxiong.

Ren Tianxiong's eyes swept across everyone, finally stopping at Ren Xiaoyao. A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Xiaoyao, you did a great job..."

Ren Tianxiong's words were filled with praise. He walked forward and patted Ren Xiaoyao on the shoulder, his eyes revealing a hint of relief. Ren Xiaoyao's performance had exceeded his expectations. Not only had he resolved the family crisis, but he had also demonstrated extraordinary courage and ability.

"Xiaoyao, you've done a great deed this time," the Great Elder also stepped forward, his tone tinged with emotion, "It's truly a blessing from our ancestors that our family has a descendant like you."

Facing the praise, Ren Xiaoyao simply smiled modestly. He knew that while the turmoil had subsided temporarily, the internal conflicts within the family had not been truly resolved. The appearance of the mysterious man was merely a trigger; the real problem lay in the uneven distribution of benefits within the family.

"Patriarch, elders," Ren Xiaoyao said solemnly, looking around at everyone. "Although the mysterious man has been subdued, conflicts within the family still exist. If we don't solve the problem fundamentally, similar incidents will happen again."

His words shocked everyone, and the originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly became solemn. They all knew that what Ren Xiaoyao said was true, but the family interests were complicated and it was not easy to completely resolve it.

"Xiaoyao, how do you think we should solve this problem?" asked the second young master, with a hint of temptation in his tone.

Ren Xiaoyao took a deep breath and said with a firm gaze, "I believe that the family's profit distribution plan should be re-formulated to ensure fairness and justice so that everyone can enjoy the dividends brought by the family's development."

His words stirred up a huge uproar, and everyone was talking about it. Redistributing family interests was a matter that touched the foundations of the family, and the slightest mistake would cause a huge uproar.

The elder frowned, musing in silence. Although he was conservative, he understood that if the family wanted to thrive, it had to adapt to the times and reform.

"Xiaoyao, your idea is certainly good, but its implementation is fraught with difficulties," the foreign steward said. "The family's interests are closely tied to the vital interests of everyone involved. It's nearly impossible to satisfy everyone."

"I know this is difficult, but I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to find a solution to the problem." Ren Xiaoyao said firmly, his eyes sweeping over the crowd, "I suggest that we hold a family meeting to discuss a solution together."

His proposal received support from some, but others expressed hesitation, clearly harboring concerns. Ren Xiaoyao knew this would be a difficult game, but he was determined to thoroughly resolve the hidden dangers within the family and clear the way for its future.

"Master, I request a family meeting!" Ren Xiaoyao turned his gaze to Ren Tianxiong, his tone firm. Ren Tianxiong looked at him deeply, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke...
