Numerous young members of prominent families had already gathered at the scene, engaged in discussions mixed with unfavorable remarks.
Yue Siqing's expression was incredibly complex as she looked at the leveled house. With so many people present, she couldn't easily check on the situation of Lan Yunxiao and Mu Lingbing.
However, judging from the state of the ruins, if Lan Yunxiao and Mu Lingbing were still in the dungeon, the outcome would likely be dire.
The patriarch of the Yue family and the elders also arrived at Yue Siqing's house. While explosions had occurred in other areas as well, it was evident that the explosion at Yue Siqing's place was the most severe.
However, upon witnessing the scene, the expressions of the patriarch and the elders turned grim.
Not all members of the Yue family were unaware of Yue Siqing's actions, at least the patriarch was aware. However, Yue Siqing had successfully concealed her actions over the years, so they hadn't paid much attention to it.
They hadn't expected everything to suddenly come to light today, surpassing their expectations.
After meeting the patriarch's gaze, Yue Siqing's face also turned gloomy. At this moment, she could only hope that Lan Yunxiao and Mu Lingbing were already dead. Otherwise, if this news got out, the Lan family would not easily let the matter slide.
Having maintained a close relationship as in-laws with the Lan family for so many years, they had a certain understanding of the Lan family's attitude.
Although Yue Manlan and Lan Qingyan forcefully took the Seven-Colored Divine Pearl from Lan Yixuan's body and transferred it to Lan Qingyan, it didn't mean that the Lan family had forgotten about it.
At least in the heart of the Lan family's patriarch, this matter had never been forgotten. Otherwise, he would not have withheld the position of the family patriarch from Lan Jingkuang all these years.
Clearly, the Lan family's patriarch had never been willing to forgive Lan Jingkuang in this matter.
If the Lan family's patriarch were to learn that the Yue family had been keeping Lan Yunxiao and Mu Lingbing imprisoned all this time, their relationship of many years would likely be reduced to nothing.
Suddenly, Yue Siqing frowned. Amidst the smell of explosives, she detected a strange scent.
Although the aroma was faint and mixed with the smell of gunpowder, making it difficult to discern, Yue Siqing, as a physician for many years, was keenly aware of many scents.
It was almost her sixth sense telling her that there was something amiss with the fragrance. She immediately spoke up, "Everyone, hold your breath. There may be something wrong with this scent!"
Upon hearing Yue Siqing's words, the people present were momentarily stunned but quickly followed her advice and held their breath.
After all, Yue Siqing's medical expertise was highly respected and convincing.
"What's the issue?" the patriarch of the Yue family asked.
"I feel that besides the smell of explosives, there is another scent present here. Regardless, it's better to be cautious," Yue Siqing calmly stated.
She wasn't sure if her judgment was accurate, but in such a situation, it was better to err on the side of caution.
Upon hearing this, the patriarch of the Yue family nodded. It was prudent to be cautious when facing an unexpected challenge directed at their family.
However, just at that moment, another explosion resounded.
