With the collapse of the Diao Clan, the only important figure who wasn't arrested was Elder Diao. After all, he was over seventy years old and had long since retired. Even if he had committed crimes, they were in the distant past, which made obtaining criminal evidence against him incredibly difficult.
The Diao family was counting on Elder Diao to step forward and seek help from influential figures, hoping to secure lighter punishments for them all. However, perhaps as a form of karmic retribution, Elder Diao fell ill at this critical moment and was hospitalized. He had been driven to this state purely by rage.
He never could have dreamed that a mere peasant would possess such immense power, not only having a brother like Zhao Dawei but also securing the help of hackers to uproot their entire Diao Clan. Not only had they failed to obtain Zhang Bin's formula, but they had also brought about their own downfall.
