Bab 176: Public Apology, Arrest (1)

The Chen family, a colossal clan, had met their downfall, a feat only conceivable by the Yu family in the Great Xia Empire.

Naturally, the three aristocratic families and the four major alliances remained far beyond the reach of ordinary aristocracy, so much so that Mrs. Pei had not even considered this possibility.

In almost a day and a night, the Chen family vanished from Lin.

Their companies, riddled with issues, were thoroughly investigated and sealed.

However, in these times, no family business dared to claim absolute purity, often dabbling in the grey areas to some extent.

Who else but the mighty Yu family, a vast commercial empire, could the Chen family have offended?

Mrs. Pei had heard some rumors within her circles.

It was said that the Chen family, in alliance with a certain Mr. Liu, attempted a daring move against the Yu family's precious daughter.

An act of sheer madness!
