"We didn't say that, but what happened tonight is indeed very strange. If the Great Elder can't give a convincing reason, I'm afraid..."
The man referred to himself as "Great Elder", but there was no hint of respect in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. Instead, there was undisguised doubt in every word.
The attitudes of the other people present were almost the same.
In the past, they would never have dared to talk to Ye Heron like this, but now...
Ye Lu has put the Ye family into such a situation. Everyone has long been disgusted with it. How can they tolerate it?
Ye Lu held a breath in his chest, almost exploding.
"I am the great elder of the Ye family, and everything in the Ye family is closely related to me! Tell me, why do I have to do this!? Doesn't this do me any good?"
A man next to him suddenly laughed and muttered:
"Who knows."
Ye Lu is arrogant and selfish, and they are not the first to know about it.
What's more, his only bloodline, Ye Yaoting, is also dead. What else is there for him to miss about the Ye family?
Who knows what he will do for his own benefit.
"Perhaps the great elder has taken a fancy to something in the warehouse and came over late at night to take it away quietly."
The man was joking casually, but as soon as his words came out, they immediately aroused Ye Lu's sensitive nerves.
As soon as his feet moved, his figure suddenly disappeared, and the next moment, he appeared in front of the person who spoke!
He raised his hand without hesitation and grabbed the other person's neck tightly, his expression was extremely cold and gloomy:
"What nonsense are you talking about!?"
This sudden change shocked everyone present.
"Great Elder! What are you doing!?"
"He just said it casually. Why would the Great Elder be so angry?"
"After all, it's my family——"
As they spoke, everyone stepped forward to dissuade him, but when they saw Ye Lu's cold and gloomy face, they all stopped.
The man whose neck was strangled also panicked, and his face quickly turned purple.
"Great, great elder - cough cough - this is, was it said by me - is it right?"
Ye Lu clenched his back molars and finally let go.
The man covered his neck and coughed violently.
He looked down at the man and said word by word:
"I'm just teaching you the rules! You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately!"
Everyone around was dead silent.
No one expected that Night Heron would suddenly attack, and his expression at that moment was really terrifying...
Ye Lu looked around and coldly snorted:
"No matter what, I am still the eldest elder of the Ye family, and I cannot allow anyone to slander me at will! If you let me hear such words next time... don't blame me for not caring about our feelings!"
"There was a thief breaking into the Ye family tonight. Instead of trying to catch the person as soon as possible, you had some messy thoughts - I think you are really free!"
After all, Ye Lu had been in the position of great elder for many years, so such a sudden outburst was quite intimidating.
Everyone was quiet for a moment, and finally someone came out to smooth things over.
"Great Elder, don't be angry, he really doesn't mean that. Isn't it because he can't find anyone and everyone is worried?"
"If you can't find it, keep looking! In such a big Ye family, can't you catch a thief?"
The night heron scolded angrily,
"Give me the order! Keep looking!"
He didn't believe that that person could really escape so quietly!
