Full-Level Rich Daughter Makes a Strong Comeback

Chapter 1001: An Upheaval

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After leaving the Ye family, Huangfu Ruiling headed straight to the Enforcement Team. Using his highest authority, he directly ordered them to immediately search the entire Hidden World for Ye Leng’an’s whereabouts. He then promptly returned to the Huangfu family and issued the same command.

With both the Enforcement Team and the Huangfu family mobilizing simultaneously, their sweeping search of the Hidden World triggered a massive upheaval.

When Huangfu Ruiling went to the Enforcement Team, he made no attempt at secrecy. As a result, nearly everyone in the Hidden World soon knew he was actually the Enforcement Team’s leader. This shocking revelation hit the aristocratic families like an explosion, leaving everyone completely stunned.

Many had long speculated on the powerful figure commanding the Enforcement Team from behind the scenes. Yet none anticipated their leader was the young Huangfu Ruiling, merely in his twenties.

The Enforcement Team had long kept order in the Hidden World, much like a government did in the mortal world. Huangfu Ruiling was essentially an uncrowned ruler.

Once people found out he was leading the team, many started feeling nervous about him. But everyone understood that resisting was pointless.

They saw how powerful the Enforcement Team was themselves. Without the top ten families uniting, they couldn’t overthrow it. Also, since Huangfu Ruiling led both the team and the Huangfu family, the Huangfu family would never oppose the organization. Maybe the Huangfu family already knew about Huangfu Ruiling’s secret role, which could explain why they were ahead of the other major families.

Among those most vexed by this revelation were Master Zhongyu and Master Murong. At that moment, the two met privately to talk about the situation.

“This time, Old Master Ye really landed us in a mess.” Master Zhongyu gritted his teeth hatefully. “Who knows what he did to throw the entire Hidden World into turmoil.”

“Regardless of his actions, we’ve become accomplices.” Master Murong’s expression was equally sour. “He used us.”

“We failed spectacularly this time.” Master Zhongyu looked extremely gloomy. “Just thinking about all the crap we said about the Enforcement Team in front of Huangfu Ruiling – I wish I could rewind time and swallow those words whole.”

“Never expected Huangfu Ruiling was actually the team’s leader,” Master Murong spat bitterly. “How can someone so young command the entire organization?”

“It doesn’t matter how he attained that position. It’s a fact now.” Master Zhongyu frowned deeply. “What I want to know most is what Old Master Ye hoped to achieve. And whether Ye Leng’an’s disappearance is related.”

If Ye Leng’an truly vanished due to Ye Yikun’s machinations, then they were indeed accomplices. However, he couldn’t fathom Ye Yikun’s motivations since Ye Leng’an carried the bloodline of the Ye family. Why did Ye Yikun target his own kin?

“Whatever he did, it’s his business, not ours.” A trace of darkness flickered across Master Murong’s gaze. “We merely visited Master Huangfu to discuss something related to our families. We have no ties to the Ye family.”

Master Zhongyu nodded firmly in agreement. “Indeed, we simply paid a visit to Master Huangfu. We know nothing.”

Sure enough, there was no evidence linking them to Old Master Ye’s schemes. As long as they remained silent and unacknowledged, they were uninvolved.

Meanwhile, Ye Leng’an remained oblivious to the upheaval her sudden vanishing had triggered across the entire Hidden World. Upon waking up, she found herself trapped in a dark room with no windows. The only light came from candles on a nearby table. Without them, she wouldn’t have seen anything around her.

Remembering what happened before she passed out, Ye Leng’an’s eyes flashed with determination as she looked around the room, but there was no sign of Ye Yikun. Testing her limbs, she found no restraints. She got up from the bed, not in a hurry to leave, not because she didn’t want to escape, but because she knew it was impossible.

In some mysterious way, Ye Yikun had placed a spell in this chamber to trap her, sealing all exits. Yet, she was consumed with curiosity about why he had locked her up like this.

As Ye Leng’an thought, the chamber door suddenly opened, and Ye Yikun walked in. He wasn’t surprised to see Ye Leng’an awake; he seemed to have expected it.

But seeing her calm demeanor, he couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. “Aren’t you curious about my intentions?” Most people would be anxious in this situation, but Ye Leng’an stayed calm, acting as if she were in familiar surroundings, not captive.

“I am curious.” Ye Leng’an nodded. “But I assume you’ll tell me your plans anyway. You went through a lot to trap me here. It can’t be just for a chat. So, Old Master Ye, spill it, I’m all ears!”
