Yu Xuan was Yu Cheng's only heir, and his loss would destabilize the family head's position. During Yu Ze's crisis, Yu Cheng had narrowly escaped being ousted by another family member. Despite the recent scandals and the anger of influential figures, Yu Cheng's foundation remained strong. He realized that by carefully watching his words and actions, he could maintain his position of power.
Wu Xiufan scoffed at Yu Cheng's naivety. He believed that Yu Cheng could have sought justice for Yu Ze without harming the entire family. By choosing to protect the family's reputation over his son's well-being, Yu Cheng had demonstrated his incompetence.
From that day forward, Wu Xiufan secretly hired investigators to scrutinize the Yu family's businesses. Any questionable dealings were immediately targeted. Each Yu family member who had committed wrongdoing was placed under surveillance.
