Chapter 240 Sincerity Naturally Leads to Worship
Unlike the two of them who were enjoying their leisure, the four great families were now in complete chaos.
After returning home, Xue Haoqian felt uneasy. After much deliberation, he took advantage of a moment when no one was looking to retrieve the family genealogy.
People used to value family genealogies highly, often enshrining them in ancestral halls. But now, they are no different from ordinary books. Xue Haoqian took out a dusty booklet from the bottom of the cabinet.
"I don't believe it. Could my Xue family really have any relationship with that little slut? What a joke..." Before he could finish his laugh, he froze on the spot.
He had already opened the family genealogy book in his hand, and the few words on the first page that were clearly visible made him shudder.
[Xue Family Ancestor Worship: Yun Yao.]
"This...this is impossible!" Xue Haoqian threw the family tree in his hand to the ground.
Looking at the family tree that was absolutely genuine, Xue Haoqian trembled like a leaf.
How could this be? This is utterly ridiculous! A woman who is barely twenty years old is actually an ancestor of the Xue family?
Could it be that someone has sabotaged it?
However, Xue Haoqian quickly dismissed his guess.
He, the head of the family, had almost forgotten where the family genealogy was kept, let alone an outsider.
But what is going on?
Xue Haoqian recalled what Yun Yao had said. If things went according to her plan, her name would probably be on the genealogy of all four families. What about the other families?
Thinking of this, Xue Haoqian left in a panic, and the first thing he did was to call the other companies.
Mu Wenyao was surprised when he received Xue Haoqian's call, and he hurriedly found his family's genealogy.
"Old Xue, it really is true! The first page of the Mu family genealogy says 'Yun Yao'!" Mu Wenyao said in great shock.
Sure enough.
"Old Mu, have we really offended some kind of immortal monster?" Xue Haoqian said with lingering fear.
After pondering for a moment, Mu Wenyao said in a deep voice, "Don't rush, let's see how things are going with Han Cailiang."
Han Cailiang was always cautious. After hearing Yun Yao's confident words, he immediately found the family genealogy upon entering the house. When he saw Yun Yao's name on the genealogy, he seemed to lose his mind and sat there motionless until Xue Haoqian called.
"Cailiang, do you already know?" Xue Haoqian asked cautiously.
"Ah."
"Do you think this could be a conspiracy by Yun Yao?"
"will not."
Upon hearing his confident answer, Xue Haoqian became anxious.
"What if she bribed people from various companies to tamper with the documents?" Xue Haoqian was clearly still unwilling to give up.
Han Cailiang, on the other hand, was much calmer. He looked at the family genealogy placed in front of him and slowly began to speak.
"I have placed the Han family's genealogy in a secret room that only each successive head of the family knows about. It is impossible for a second person to know about it."
Xue Haoqian fell silent, gripped by immense fear, his voice trembling slightly.
"Cailiang, could it be a coincidence? Could it be that our ancestor was named Yunyao, and she just stumbled upon this by accident?"
Han Cailiang did not respond and hung up the phone directly.
Xue Haoqian couldn't believe it, but he believed it.
When he was ordered by Gu Huixin to find Yun Jianghai, Yun Jianghai had said that Yun Yao had superhuman abilities, which was why she needed a lot of helpers.
At first, he thought Yun Jianghai was just making up a lame excuse because he was afraid of dying, but now, everything makes sense.
Yun Yao is not human.
In that case, it's not surprising that they could become the ancestors of the four great families.
After careful consideration, Han Cailiang took all of the Han family's assets and went to find Yun Yao.
Whether it's true or false, we'll find out soon enough. If it's true, he'll be the first to surrender.
But her identity is suspicious, and he must confirm it before he can take any action.
When he saw Yun Yao again, he could no longer treat her with the same attitude as before, and unconsciously became more respectful.
Yun Yao wasn't surprised at all that Han Cailiang would be the first among them to arrive.
The heads of the four great families, who pride themselves on their high moral character, would never be willing to bow down to a young girl. However, the only one among them with any sense is Han Cailiang.
Knowing that he had come with a testing mindset, Yun Yao also toned down her arrogance somewhat.
"Have you thought it through?" Yun Yao asked softly.
Han Cailiang nodded slightly.
"Miss Yun, I have only one question, and I hope you can answer it."
"explain."
"Was the Su family's affair also your doing?"
Yun Yao slightly bent her fingers and gently tapped the table.
"Yes, I did it."
Han Cailiang felt relieved.
Just as I suspected, Yun Yao was behind the Su family's affairs; she had planned this all along!
Although the Su family is not as powerful as the four great families, it has been able to stand firm in the capital for so many years, which means it has a solid foundation. Many people have tried to take advantage of the Su family but failed. Yet, they were suppressed by a mysterious person and forced to flee overnight. It seems a bit unbelievable.
It seems that Yun Yao's goal is not with these four great families at all; she may be after the entire capital!
Thinking of this, Han Cailiang felt a chill run down his spine.
"Miss Yun, if I were to hand over all of the Han family's assets, would you be willing to show leniency?" Han Cailiang asked in a deep voice.
But Yun Yao laughed after hearing those words.
"Han Cailiang, the Han family is like a small clan to me, I don't really care about them. But considering you were the first to surrender, how about I let all four families take the surname Han?"
Seeing Han Cailiang in a daze, Yun Yao continued, "The Han family was originally the most deeply rooted of the four great families, but with the tyrannical Xue Haoqian in the past and the treacherous Gu Huixin in the future, I know that you have long harbored resentment towards them." Yun Yao smiled.
Han Cailiang's pupils shrank sharply, feeling that the woman in front of him was terrifying. Even the family members themselves did not know the true grudges between the four families, so how could she, an outsider, know so much about them?
but……
“Miss Yun, the conditions you have offered are indeed tempting, but I cannot accept a reward without merit.”
Yun Yao stood up and handed him a sandalwood box.
“I will not do a losing deal. I want you to be my subject for all eternity.”
At this moment, Han Cailiang actually saw a layer of soft silver light on Yun Yao's body, his legs went weak, and he couldn't help but want to kneel down.
With a "plop," he knelt down in front of Yun Yao.
The covenant with the gods is one that those with sincere hearts will naturally worship.
Upon seeing this, Yun Yao smiled.
"Alright, get up. From now on, your Han family will be under my protection."
The Han family used to be in debt, but now they have transformed into people under Yun Yao's protection. If their ancestors were alive, they would probably be so excited that they would kick open their coffins. This is an immense blessing!
Although Han Cailiang had previously harbored hostility towards Yun Yao, everything he did was out of necessity, and Yun Yao valued this very trait of him.
"Here, take this and go acquire the businesses of the other three companies." Yun Yao casually tossed a bank card to Han Cailiang.
She had a thousand simple ways to deal with the four great families, so why did she choose such a complicated one? It was because she wanted to reshuffle the deck of the four great families!
Cultivating a new force cannot be achieved through forceful means; what she needs is genuine, heartfelt respect!
Of course, intelligence is also essential...
The Han family is lucky.
