I walk sideways in the game world

Chapter 211 The truth is revealed, and efforts are made to save the clan from chaos

Ren Xiaoyao hid in the shadows of a corner, holding his breath, and carefully observed the mysterious man. He couldn't see the mysterious man's face clearly, only a vague figure shrouded in darkness, which made him even more mysterious and weird.

"Of course, I'll take care of things, don't worry." The mysterious man lowered his voice, but his tone was full of pride. "I have successfully provoked a conflict between them. Now, the whole family is in chaos. We are only one step away from completely controlling this place!"

Ren Xiaoyao's heart was shocked. These words further confirmed his guess - this mysterious man was not a benefactor of the family at all. His real purpose was to sow discord within the family and profit from the chaos!

The mysterious man's voice continued, his words filled with contempt for the family's current situation and ambition for the future. Ren Xiaoyao listened, trying to remember every word he said, trying to find loopholes in his words and find evidence to expose his true face.

At this moment, a figure stumbled into Ren Xiaoyao's sight. It was the Second Young Master. Although he had been defeated in the previous conflict and had injuries on his face, at this moment, his face was full of anxiety and worry.

"Damn it! How could it turn out like this!" The Second Young Master cursed under his breath, completely unaware of Ren Xiaoyao hiding in the shadows. He paced anxiously, seemingly racking his brains for a solution to his current predicament.

Ren Xiaoyao's heart stirred. He knew that although the Second Young Master often disagreed with him, he certainly didn't want to see the family decline because of this. Perhaps this was their chance to put aside their past grievances and join forces against the enemy!

He quietly walked forward and patted the second young master on the shoulder. The second young master suddenly turned around and looked at him warily, "What do you want to do?"

"I think we should have a common goal now." Ren Xiaoyao looked directly into his eyes and said in a deep voice, "We have all been deceived by him. This mysterious man is the mastermind behind all this!"

The Second Young Master was stunned for a moment, then his expression suddenly darkened as if he had thought of something. He recalled what the Mysterious Man had said to him before, words that seemed to be for his own good, but were actually meant to sow discord...

"You... do you have any evidence?" The second young master took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He knew that speculation alone would not be enough to convince other people in the family.

"I will find evidence." Ren Xiaoyao said in a firm tone. He knew that time was running out and he had to expose the true identity of the mysterious man as soon as possible, otherwise the entire family would be in an irretrievable situation.

He turned around and prepared to leave, but was stopped by the second young master, "Wait, I'll help you!"

Ren Xiaoyao turned around in surprise, only to see a complex light flashing in the second young master's eyes, but his tone was extremely firm.

They didn't say anything more, but separated tacitly and went their separate ways. Ren Xiaoyao continued to shuttle through the crowd, looking for more clues about the mysterious man. The second young master used his connections in the family to secretly investigate the origins of the mysterious man...

As night fell, the lights in the family hall remained brightly lit, and the family members continued to argue, showing no sign of settling the dispute. Xia Lin stood outside the crowd, watching Ren Xiaoyao and the Second Young Master weaving among them. She knew that a more thrilling contest had just begun. She took a deep breath, her eyes firm. It was time for her to take action. She turned and walked towards the backyard where the family elders lived. There, perhaps, lay the truth they sought...

Charlene moved lightly through the corridors in the family's backyard. She knew that in order to reverse the current situation, she had to find evidence that would convince the family members. And this evidence was probably in the hands of those family members who were deceived, or who still had a trace of rationality.

She first sought out the Third Miss. Ever since the family had fallen into chaos, the usually cheerful Third Miss had become gloomy, shutting herself in her room and refusing to see visitors. Charlene knew that the Third Miss was kind-hearted and would never want to see the family in this state.

"Miss Third, I know you definitely don't want to see our family become like this, right?" Xia Lin's tone was gentle, but every word struck the heart of Miss Third.

The Third Miss raised her head, her eyes slightly red, but she still shook her head, "But, what can we do now? No one believes Brother Xiaoyao, even the Great Elder..."

"No, I believe in Brother Xiaoyao, and I believe in you too." Xia Lin interrupted the Third Miss, her eyes determined. "Do you remember that time when the mysterious man gave you the treasure? He said at the time that the treasure could..."

Xia Lin leaned close to the Third Miss's ear and told her everything she had heard from Ren Xiaoyao about the mysterious man's plan and her speculation about the treasure. As Xia Lin continued, the Third Miss's face grew increasingly grim. She covered her mouth and looked at Xia Lin in disbelief. "You mean... he wants to use me..."

"I believe you didn't mean to harm the family. You were simply deceived by him." Xia Lin held the Third Miss's hand, giving her strength. "Now, only you can stand up and expose his true face!"

Meanwhile, Ren Xiaoyao was also trying to persuade everyone in the family hall. Initially, his words did not receive much response, but as he listed the clues he had found and the various suspicious actions of the mysterious man, some family members who had been bewitched by the mysterious man began to waver.

"But if he is really like what you said, then why would he help us deal with those foreign enemies?" someone raised the question.

"That's because he needs time, an opportunity to slowly take control of the entire family!" Ren Xiaoyao said firmly, "Everything he does is for his ultimate goal - to completely control our family and turn us into his puppets!"

The Great Elder, who had been silent all this time, also stood up at this moment. Although he still had doubts about some of Ren Xiaoyao's actions, seeing the current crisis of the family, he also realized that perhaps it was time to trust this young man.

"Xiaoyao, do you have any evidence for what you said?" The voice of the Great Elder sounded particularly majestic in the noisy hall.

"We'll have evidence soon." Ren Xiaoyao smiled confidently, looking towards the lobby entrance. He knew that Xia Lin's situation should also be getting results soon...

At this moment, a panicked figure rushed into the hall. It was the butler from another family who was responsible for guarding the family. He looked pale and said in a hurried tone, "Oh no, Patriarch, he... he wants..."

"What does he want? Tell me slowly!" the elder asked sternly. The panic of the housekeeper from another family gave him an ominous premonition.

"He, he tried to force his way through the master's retreat!" the foreign housekeeper said hurriedly, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. "Luckily, I noticed his intentions in advance and activated the defensive formation you instructed me to set up, temporarily trapping him!"

"What?!" There was an uproar in the lobby, and everyone looked at each other. They never thought that the mysterious man who had always regarded himself as a VIP guest of the family would do such a thing!

"I told you, there's definitely something wrong with him!" "Everything Master Xiaoyao said before was true, we were all deceived by him!" "This sinister villain actually wants to harm the head of the family!"

As everyone was discussing this, Xia Lin, accompanied by the third daughter and an elderly man, slowly entered the hall. The elderly man, with a hunched figure and a stumbling gait, was the family historian responsible for recording family history and important events.

"Everyone, this is the family historian. He can prove that the mysterious man is colluding with hostile forces outside our family!" Xia Lin's voice was crisp and firm, echoing in the lobby.

The historian trembled as he stepped forward, pulled a letter from his sleeve, and handed it to the Great Elder. "The Patriarch once received a secret letter. The letter contained the true identity and purpose of the mysterious visitor. However, the Patriarch did not believe it at the time and gave it to me for safekeeping..."

The Great Elder took the letter and read it carefully. As the contents of the letter gradually unfolded, his expression became more and more ugly, and the hand holding the letter could not help but tremble.

"This... this is actually true..." The Great Elder took a deep breath and handed the letter to several elders beside him for circulation. The content of the letter recorded in detail the collusion between the mysterious man and the hostile forces, as well as his true purpose of lurking in the family. All kinds of evidence were irrefutable.

After seeing this letter, the family members who were originally skeptical about Ren Xiaoyao's words finally came to their senses. They never thought that they would be manipulated by an outsider and almost caused a disaster!

"Damn it! We were all deceived by him!" "I'm going to kill this bastard!" "We can't let him leave the family alive!"

The angry family members were furious and wanted to tear Mysterio into pieces.

At the same time, the mysterious man trapped in the defensive formation also felt that the situation was unfavorable to him. He attacked the formation frantically, trying to break out, but the butler from another family was well prepared and the formation did not move at all.

"Damn it! I was so close, so close to success!" The mysterious man gritted his teeth, his eyes full of resentment.

"You don't stand a chance anymore!" Ren Xiaoyao held the letter in his hand and walked towards the mysterious man step by step, with a determined light in his eyes. "Now, it's time to pay the price for what you have done!"

The mysterious man looked at the letter in Ren Xiaoyao's hand, a trace of panic flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his composure. He sneered and said, "You think you can bring me down with just these? You're too naive!"

Ren Xiaoyao walked over to the defensive formation and showed the mysterious man the letter in his hand. He said word by word, "What else do you have to say? The letter clearly records your collusion with external forces and your purpose for infiltrating the family. Do you intend to deny it?"

The mysterious man glanced at the letter, a scornful smile curling up at the corner of his mouth. "It's ridiculous to convict me based on a letter of unknown origin. Who knows if this was deliberately forged to frame me?"

"You!" Ren Xiaoyao was furious, but soon calmed down. He knew that it would be difficult to make this cunning guy confess with just a letter.

"You said this letter was forged, so do you dare to let me check your personal belongings?" Ren Xiaoyao stared at the mysterious man with sharp eyes, trying to find a flaw on his face.

"What a joke! Why should I let you check my things? Who do you think you are?" The mysterious man flatly refused, his tone full of disdain and arrogance.

"You don't dare let me check because you feel guilty!" Ren Xiaoyao pressed on. "If you have nothing to fear, you should accept the inspection openly instead of denying it!"

The mysterious man snorted coldly, turned his head away and ignored Ren Xiaoyao.

The atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became tense. The family members were filled with righteous indignation and accused the mysterious man of making sophistry and demanded that he be searched.

"Enough!" The Great Elder, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly spoke up, quelling the clamor. He narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the Mysterious Man, and said slowly, "Mysterious Man, you've enjoyed exceptional treatment in my family for many years. I've treated you well. Why would you do something like this, betraying the family?"

Facing the Great Elder's questioning, the mysterious man maintained his previous arrogant attitude and sneered, "Betrayal? That's a really big accusation! What I did is considered betrayal? Is it a sin for me to help the family improve its strength?"

"You..." The Great Elder was so angry at his unreasonable words that his whole body was shaking, and the finger pointing at him was trembling slightly.

"At this point, you're still trying to quibble!" Ren Xiaoyao couldn't stand it any longer. He stepped forward, pointed at the mysterious man's nose, and angrily scolded him, "You keep saying you're helping the family, but which of your actions are truly for the good of the family? You're sowing discord among family members and secretly supporting the Second Young Master, all with the goal of dividing the family so the forces behind you can take advantage!"

"Ren Xiaoyao, stop slandering me!" The mysterious man's true identity was exposed, and he stopped pretending. His tone became cold, "I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, otherwise..."

"What else?" Ren Xiaoyao looked him in the eye without fear, his eyes filled with determination. "You want to kill me to silence me? I'm telling you, even if I die here today, I'll expose your true face and let everyone know what kind of person you are!"

Faced with Ren Xiaoyao's tough attitude, the mysterious man was speechless for a moment, and a sinister glint flashed in his eyes. He was silent for a moment, and suddenly laughed up to the sky, his laughter full of disdain and ridicule.

"Hahaha... Ren Xiaoyao, ah Ren Xiaoyao, do you think you really understand the truth of the matter? You are too naive!" The mysterious man restrained his smile, his eyes as sharp as a knife, "I tell you, what you know is just the tip of the iceberg..."
