The words "prisoner under the stage" already proved that for so many years, Lan Jingkuang had been imprisoning Lan Yundiao!
"Yundiao, is everything that Yixuan said true?" Lan Hongtai's voice trembled slightly, but compared to the previous disbelief, his words now carried a hint of acceptance and understanding.
"Yes, it's true!" Lan Yundiao's unwavering affirmation startled everyone present. At this point, it was already an undeniable fact!
No matter how Lan Jingkuang and his family tried to defend themselves, the moment they faced Lan Yundiao, all their defenses became meaningless!
"Goodness, so it's true that Kuangye had been imprisoning Yundiao and his wife all these years. The poisoning and torture were real. How could such a thing happen?"
"Kuangye's heart is too ruthless. Yundiao is his own younger brother. How could he do such despicable things?"
"Over the years, Kuangye has occasionally shown remorse towards Yundiao, which was accepted by the clan members. But now, it seems that it was all just an act!"
At this moment, the gazes directed at Lan Jingkuang were filled with confusion and disgust. As fellow clan members, they had always cherished and helped each other to ensure the prosperity of the Lan family. However, Lan Jingkuang, as one of the representatives of the family, had secretly been so cold-blooded and ruthless. How could anyone accept that?
In this moment, Lan Jingkuang also felt the weight of public condemnation. Everyone was spurning him, even those who had admired him before now looked at him with disgust.
In fact, he had always known that once his actions were exposed to the light, he would face severe criticism. That's why he had been cautious all these years. For nineteen years, he had managed to hide any trace, but he hadn't expected that everything would unravel so suddenly and catch him off guard.
It's over.
These two words echoed in Lan Jingkuang's mind.
In victory, one becomes a king, but in defeat, one becomes a criminal.
When Lan Yundiao appeared in front of him with that face, it was already over for him.
"Take this beast into custody!" Lan Hongtai no longer hesitated and swiftly gave the order.
If he had known about Lan Jingkuang's cruel actions all these years, he would have personally dealt with his monstrous son long ago.
Unfortunately, he had been kept in the dark, while Lan Yundiao and Mu Lingbing had endured years of suffering.
Recalling the accusations made by Baili Hongzhuang earlier, every word struck his heart like a piercing arrow.
Nineteen years of torment, dozens of types of poison, Yue Siqing being a test subject for the poison experiments—each word hit him relentlessly.
If he didn't take action against Lan Jingkuang now, how could he face everyone!
As soon as Lan Hongtai gave the command, Lan Borong and the other elders took the lead and launched an attack on Lan Jingkuang without hesitation.
They were all supporters of Lan Yundiao, and many of them had remained loyal to him even when he faced betrayal and desertion in the past.
They had endured this grudge for many years, but now that they knew the truth, they felt they could no longer bear it and would not continue to endure!
Seeing the approaching crowd rapidly closing in on him, Lan Jingkuang's eyes flickered with a hint of madness.
