This time, the Yu Family and the Liu Family had indeed caused the biggest uproar.
Although the Fan Family and the Zhong Family had not been greatly affected, many of their people had been implicated as well.
Take Fan Dazhi and Dean Fan, for example. One was the captain of the island's guard force, while the other was the dean of the island's Research Institute. Both held important positions and answered directly to the island lord, yet they had betrayed Liu Lan and turned to support the radicals.
I had never met the Fan Jin Yu Xiang mentioned. What exactly was this elder of the Fan Family, this typical conservative in Yu Xiang's eyes, like? Whether he could be persuaded to stabilize the Fan Family remained uncertain.
As for Zhong Wuming of the Zhong Family, I had heard Liu Lan mention him before. He was a business genius, though his origins were poor and he had come from the very bottom of the Zhong Family.
Yet he had possessed a head for business since childhood. He had started by peddling small items and gradually built himself up, eventually controlling seventy percent of the Zhong Family's businesses. That alone showed that he was an astute man, and even more skilled at calculation. He should have considered the gains and losses more thoroughly than anyone.
So I felt Zhong Wuming could be a point of entry.
But if I went out to contact him, the risk would not be small. The moment I left this estate, the island's radicals might target me.
I asked the estate's guard captain, "Can you invite Zhong Wuming of the Zhong Family to the estate?"
The guard captain nodded. "Yes."
I said nothing more. Since he said it could be done, how he brought Zhong Wuming here
