Yun Cai saw Du Ming's eyes and mouth shape, but she couldn't read lips, so she was stunned and didn't know what Du Ming meant.

  Du Ming saw Yun Cai's expression was very puzzled, definitely didn't understand what he said, helplessly shrugged his shoulders, spread out his hands, then waved at Yun Zhengye, "Are you sure you want to hold our Cloud sister hostage? Really not considering putting down the knife and surrendering in time?"

  "Of course! Stop wasting words with me! Get out of my way!"

  "Alright," Du Ming helplessly rubbed his chin and then continued to rub his tie with the same hand.

  This tie was tied by Yun Cai himself in the morning, and he insisted on clipping a tie clip on it despite his own objections. Du Ming touched it and felt the tie clip on top of it.

  Yun Zhengye glared at Du Ming, who was still standing there and hadn't moved, his impatience growing. He bellowed, "I told you to get out of my way! Don't block me! Otherwise, I'll..."

  Yun Zhengye raised the dagger in his hand and was about to stab Yun Cai, who let out a startled cry and subconsciously closed her eyes tightly.

  Du Ming twitched his mouth, stretched out his hand and plucked the tie clip from his necktie. He twirled it around his fingertips, straightened his arm, and with a burst of force, he flicked it out. The tie clip whizzed through the air and before anyone could react, it had already lodged itself firmly in Yun Zhengye's forehead, almost entirely buried in his skull.

  Yun Cai closed her eyes tightly, waited for half a day but didn't feel any pain, and nervously opened her eyes. As soon as she opened them, she heard the sound of metal utensils falling to the ground with a clang.

  Yun Cai was startled, turned her head and saw Yun Zhengye staring with wide eyes, his expression still fierce, mixed with incredulity and unwillingness, staring straight ahead.

  The center of Yun Zhengye's forehead was a crimson circle, from which blood was gushing out, and in the center of the circle was a faint metallic luster.

  Yun Cai was startled, at a loss for what to do, when Du Ming had already taken several big strides to her side, grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms, while also giving Yun Zheng Ye a push.

  Yun Zhengye's body was pushed like this, lost its balance, and fell heavily to the ground.

  The others present suddenly remembered to exclaim in surprise.

  Yun Cai asked in a somewhat fearful tone, "What...what happened? Yun Zhengye, wasn't he trying to kill me? Why did he end up dying himself?"

  Du Ming smiled and said, "You should thank yourself for insisting on bringing me the tie clip. Just now, I happened to use it to flick him dead."

  "Tie clip?" Yun Cai said incredulously, looking at Du Ming with an inexplicable gaze.

  "What's wrong? Actually, I have many ways to deal with you even without a tie clip. But I think using a tie clip as a hidden weapon is the most convenient and handy, so I used it. How about it, isn't the effect pretty good?"

  Yun Cai wanted to ask how this was possible, how he had done it, but thinking about it, Du Ming had accomplished many impossible things that she couldn't believe in herself. She swallowed her words and silently snuggled into Du Ming's arms.

  Du Ming laughed twice, patted Yun Cai comfortingly, just as the comforting was getting more and more towards eating tofu, Yun Cai suddenly pushed Du Ming away and stood up straight.

  Du Ming pouted and said, "Tsk, tsk, what a pity, didn't get to eat tofu again."

  Yun Cai looked around the living room and said in a loud voice, "Everyone just saw what happened. I wanted to spare Yun Zhengye's life, but he was obstinate and refused to listen, constantly violating family rules and committing unforgivable crimes. Du Ming had no choice but to kill him in self-defense. Does anyone have any objections to this?"

  Yun Zhengye's downfall was entirely his own doing, and even those who had disagreed with Yun Cai couldn't raise any objections now, all nodding in agreement.

  Yun Cai nodded, "Alright, then this matter is settled. Yun Zhengye is already dead, and I don't want to pursue his accomplices anymore. These thugs are expelled from the Yun family, and as long as they don't come to the Yun family looking for trouble again, I'll let bygones be bygones."

  The thugs all shouted loudly, "Thank you, Miss Yun!" and left the Yun residence.

  Yun Cai's expression remained cold as she spoke to the crowd, "Today's matter is settled like this, but I think what's more important is what comes next."

  Everyone heard Yuncai say this and was a bit puzzled, quieting down to listen to Yuncai speak.

  Yun Cai continued, "I've experienced three or four assassination attempts before, this plane crash is the most severe one yet, and it almost succeeded. I don't know if all these times were Yun Zhengye's doing, or if someone here has some unspoken thoughts in their heart. I don't want to investigate now, I just hope that this time will be the end of Yun Zhengye, and such things won't happen again."

  Everyone heard this and looked at each other in dismay. Some who had hidden some unseemly thoughts in their hearts felt a twinge of guilt and lowered their heads.

  Yun Cai continued, "Our Yun family was originally one of the four major families in the Eastern Sea, but now we've fallen to this state. The Ye and Zhang families can bully us at will. Doesn't everyone want to think about the reason? Before fighting for power within the family, can't we unite first and let the Yun family rise again, become the powerful Yun family of old? Otherwise, what's the point of a declining Yun family's ruler, even if they win?"

  Many people nodded in approval when they heard this, while some others sighed with a hint of guilt.

  Yun Cai continued, "So, Yun Zhengye's matter today is a lesson to everyone. If there are still people who destroy the unity of the Yun family in the future, I will not consider blood ties or relationships. No matter who you are, I will deal with you seriously and strictly, and it will be more severe than today, absolutely not more lenient! Finally, I sincerely hope that everyone can unite under my leadership and truly bring the Yun family back to its peak!"

  Everyone applauded, Du Ming stood beside him and watched, sighing, "Wow, my wife is so domineering, she really has the demeanor of one of the four major families in Donghai. But a strong-willed woman like her relying on me makes my heart flutter even more."

  Yun Cai waved his hand in the applause, "Alright, I'll stop here. Let's get this place cleaned up and everyone can head home for a good rest."

  After finishing speaking, Yuncai turned and went upstairs back to her own room, Du Ming hurriedly followed.

  "Ah," Yuncai returned to her room and lay down on the bed, "Today was really exhausting!"
