Chapter 1522 They Call Him Mr Chu
Because of the nature of his job, the public didn''t know much about Wei Guang and only knew him as the younger brother of the
head of the Wei family.
But this name could strike fear in the hearts of the Wei family members.
This man was in charge of coting information from both within and outside of the family.
He collected information on all their business partners and rivals, and found out everything there was to know about them.
He also watched over everything the highest positions of the family said and did, and checked if they were doing anything illegal
or improper.
Wei Guang''s existence was a double edged sword.
He could both ughter his own family as well as other potential threatsing from outside the family.
rge majority of the decisions that the Wei family made were done ording to the information or suggestions that Wei Guang
made.
That was how important this person was to the entire family.
On top of that, Wei Guang was impartial even to his own family. His own son had gone against the rules set by the family, so he
had been removed from his high position, sent away from Zhonghai and transferred to a faraway ce.
That was also why the Wei family was rather afraid of Wei Guang.
So when Wei Guang appeared in the meeting room, everyone immediately fell silent.
Many of them were wondering why Wei Guang was here at this time.
Had he caught hold of someone''s weakness again?
“Looks like someone''s in trouble again...”
Several members of the family murmured to themselves and shook their heads silently.
Wei Guang''s presence never meant good news.
Thest time he attended a meeting, it was to expose the deeds of an elder who was an uncle to Wei Guang.
Nobody knew who was next.
"Is everyone here?" asked Wei Chen in a deep voice as he took his position at the highest chair of the room and looked around.
The meeting room remained silent as nobody responded.
"| suppose everyone''s here. In that case, Guang, you can start the meeting." Wei Chen left the rest of the meeting to his younger
brother.
It was Wei Guang who wanted this meeting.
Not even Wei Chen knew what his brother wanted to say.
But judging from Wei Guang''s tone of voice and expression, Wei Chen could guess that he had some very important information
to announce.
Wei Guang walked to the front.
The atmosphere of the room grew tense and heavy even before he spoke.
“Everyone, sorry for the urgent meeting. But this is a very important matter, so | have no choice but to do this.” After saying a few
words of formality, Wei Guang''s voice grew icy.
He looked up at the rest of the people in the room and continued, "I''m not sure if you heard about how some time ago, the power
bnce in Yanjing went through a major change. Several powerful families and businesses had been wiped out or reced."
Anumber of family members nodded after hearing this.
"We know about that. Some years ago, there was someone who called himself the King of Yanjing, wasn''t there? | think they
called him Mr Chu. The family that held thest ce among the four great families of Yanjing, the Xu family, as well as one of
the three up anding families, the Xue family, both belong to him. Over the past few years, this Mr Chu has be more
and more powerful within Yanjing, and he seems tomand more and more authority."
"That''s right. We''ve also heard that the current head of the Xu family, Xu Lei, is this Mr Chu''s mistress."
“Over thest few years, this Xu Lei has be more and more ambitious andcent with the support of Mr Chu."
"She actually tried to expand her business into Zhonghaist year."
“But the Wei family blocked her expansion, so after she apologized to us, she went back to Yanjing with her tail between her
legs."
"Haha!"
Some people in the meeting room startedughing merrily.
Their faces were filled with pride and arrogance.
Even those who weren''tughing smiled equallycently. Their sense of superiority could be felt even without them saying
anything.
They looked like they didn''t have any regard for this Mr Chu or the Xu and Xue families at all.
The moment the Wei family put their foot down, they all had to obediently toe the line.
But Wei Guang shook his head. "I''m not talking about this. The Xu family is pretty powerful, but they are a fallen family and are
no match for our family even at their peak. As for the Xue family, they''re just nouveau riche and aren''t worth my efforts to
investigate personally. I''m here to talk about the Lu and Xur families."
Everyone was stunned by these words.
"The Lu and Xur families?"
"You mean the two true blue aristocratic families of Yanjing?"
Wei Guang nodded. "That''s them. Perhaps you didn''t notice, but the two families went through a major change more than a year
ago. The head of the Lu family, Lu He, was stripped of his position and transferred elsewhere, and his entire family quietly moved
out of their family home in Yanjing.”
"The patriarch of the Xur family, Xur Jun-Lin, died very suddenly, while both the head of the family and his second-in-charge
were thrown into prison. These two immensely powerful families fell from grace overnight."
What?!
"The Lu family moved out quietly?"
"The heads of the Xur family are in prison?!"
"Mr Xur Jun-Lin is actually dead?"
"How...how could this be?”
"When did this happen? Why didn''t we know about it at all?"
"What on earth happened?"
Wei Guang''s words left everyone in the meeting room shuddering in shock.
Their eyes and mouths fell open in disbelief.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.
Even though Yanjing and Zhonghai were not right next to one another, the Lu and Xur families were two of the most powerful
families in the entire country, so they hade into contact with them frequently over the years.
When Xur Jun-Lin was the head of the family, the Xur and Wei families were very closely connected.
One of the sons of the Wei family had married a daughter of the Xur family too.
The Wei family knew a lot about these two families since they were on par with one another.
They never thought that two such families would go through such a major transformation overnight.
This really bewildered them, and also made them sit up warily.
"It''s only normal that none of you
know about it, because all news
about this matter has been sealed
off. It took me a long time to ipgiqat
their curr nt statas te \Buring this
timé, aie, to investigate this
matter. | too, wanted to know why
these two powerful families fell from
grace despite having held power for
so long. | only found out the real
reason after | paid Jiangdong a visit
this time.” Wei Guang''s expression
was solemn as his low voice echoed
in the meeting room. Please read the

"Tell us what''s the reason!"
"Is there someone with godly powers or something?!"

Everyone looked up and asked Wei Guang about this matter worriedly.
They were both curious and anxious.
Wei Chen''s expression also became very stern as he furrowed his brows.
Had some power suddenly risen within China?
But Wei Guang didn''t say anything.
He got someone to hang a gigantic poster on the wall.
The poster showed a young man.
He was very slim and his eyes were deep.
He was standing along the side of ake with his arms folded behind his back.
His icy gaze looked into the distance and seemed to be able to see through
everything.
"This...this is..." Everyone was confused.
Wei Guang said in a deep voice, "This
is him. This is the ingsntiaagadrld,
Fan, ihey calMtitn ir Chu”

Everyone gasped immediately.
They nearly forgot to breathe.
Wei Chen''s niece, Wei Lu, was so shocked that she covered her lips with a hand.
"How..."
"How can this be?”
"A young man like him...is so powerful?"
“He was powerful enough to topple top tier aristocratic families with centuries of history?!"
Everyone in the meeting room was eximing in disbelief.
