Ouyang Zuoheng spoke up at this moment:
"Sorry, Mr. Long. Logically speaking, our Ouyang Family owes you Yan Zhao Sect brothers a tremendous favor, and my son's surgery will also need you to perform it. We should grant you this favor, but look..."
Long Aotian immediately said, "Understood! As long as you remember this, it's fine. I did plead for them."
Ouyang Zuoheng was a little dumbfounded.
I had prepared a whole speech to settle your request, and you gave up that easily!?
The situation was clear.
Ouyang Zuoheng did not want the Ouyang Family to fall completely.
From his perspective, Jiang Yuanzheng was the mastermind behind it all.
Jiang Yuanzheng wanted to get rid of him, but feared that the Ouyang Family might turn against him and expose him. That was why he had devised this scheme, forcing him and Mo Zigui into a deadly clash. Clearly, he wanted to use the Mo Family's hand to wipe out his entire family.
Now, if he wanted to fight Jiang Yuanzheng, he had to borrow the power of the Mo Family's young master. He needed to find a way to latch onto Mo Zigui's coattails.
Otherwise... the Ouyang Family was finished.
The foundation built over generations would be devoured clean by Jiang Yuanzheng, and his family line would be exterminated.
And the one who could put in a word for him with the Mo Family was Lu Chengwen.
In the eyes of Mo Zigui and the Three Brothers—
This matter was very strange...
Lu Chengwen could not be trusted, but everything he had said made logical sense.
According to him, the Jiang Family was playing with fire!
No, to be precise, Jiang Yuanzheng was.
But whether Lu Chengwen was a puppet Jiang Yuanzheng controlled and pushed forward, or truly a pawn
