Chapter 513: Seizing Power

This item was personally made by Chen Yongren; he knows best where the problem lies.

After all, if it were identical to the real thing, wouldn't this be the real thing?

"What's wrong?" Chi Mu Chengping asked.

Chen Yongren was about to speak.

Yuan Gangxian, however, felt greatly insulted and spoke first: "Damn it, Chief, you're going too far—how can the family crest tolerate such insult!"

"If you don't believe me, you can send a telegram to Father for verification!"

"By questioning this crest, A Ren't you questioning my status as clan chief?"

"Such a small matter need not bother Father for now; we can report to him after it's settled." Chen Yongren gave a light laugh and took the crest from Chi Mu Chengping's hand.

"You say this is the Yuan Clan's crest?"

"Damn it, give it back—do you think you can touch this?" Yuan Gangxian stepped forward quickly, trying to seize the crest.

However, Chen Yongren moved faster, grabbing the crest with both hands and snapping it hard.

A crisp crack sounded.

The crest was directly snapped in two by Chen Yongren.

Seeing this, Chi Mu Chengping's eyelids twitched twice, and his gaze toward Yuan Gangxian instantly filled with coldness.

The chief's crest is made of gold; how could it be broken so easily?

Dare to let the future chief's heir take the blame with a fake crest?

This bastard, his gall is truly enormous.

"Damn it, what did you do to my crest!" Yuan Gangxian felt a chill, pointing at Chen Yongren and shouting angrily.

"Idiot, this is clearly a fake crest; you must have lied so often you even fooled yourself!" Chen Yongren said deliberately.

He then handed the fragments to Chi Mu Chengping, saying: "Uncle, please examine—this guy actually dared to forge the family crest, simply outrageous!"

"If he dares to make a fake crest now, who knows—he might dare to overthrow superiors and seize the chief's position later."

Chen Yongren would not miss any chance to fan the flames.

Although Chi Mu Chengping had determined that the crest in Yuan Gangxian's hand was fake, he still took it and pretended to examine it thoroughly.

Only a thin layer of gold on the outside; inside was other material.

Chi Mu Chengping glanced at Chen Yongren.

Upon serious thought, even if Yuan Gangxian were bold, he shouldn't be making a fake crest.

Surely someone behind him is fanning the flames.

The only person in Jinmen who knows the crest's details and has a grudge against Yuan Gangxian is Yuan Chief.

This item was actually commissioned by Yuan Chief to have someone forge it, then he tried to get it into Yuan Gangxian's hands.

Because if the old chief really wanted to help his son, he wouldn't go through such a roundabout way.

This matter is probably Yuan Chief directing and acting himself…

Knowing what the old bastard had in mind, Chen Yongren kept his composure.

Because he was well aware.

That old bastard would take the opportunity to help himself dispose of Yuan Gangxian, then ask these questions.

"Damn it!"

Chi Mu Chengping slammed the fragments hard onto Yuan Gangxian's face, shouting angrily: "Forging the chief's crest, impersonating the chief, issuing false orders, harming fellow clansmen!"

"Gang Xian, Chief is your brother—why would you do this?"

"If Chief weren't quick-witted and sharp-eyed, I would really have been fooled by you!"

"The one who should be punished is you!"

"Ow." Yuan Gangxian, his head split and bleeding from the blow, let out a miserable cry, covered his face, crouched down, and checked the fragments.

This crest was indeed as Chi Mu Chengping said.

Gold on the outside, junk within—it couldn't be any faker.

A genuine crest is entirely cast of gold; how could it contain impurities, or be broken by external force?

"How could this be!"

"This is absolutely impossible."

"How could Father give me a fake crest?"

Yuan Gangxian's mind went blank; his heart turned cold half over, his strength seemed drained, and he sat helplessly on the ground.

"It's clearly you yourself coveting the chief's position, seeing me come to Jinmen, worried your status would be affected!" Chen Yongren seized the chance to kick him while he was down.

"So you wanted to take advantage of recent events, bully me for my inexperience, and make me take the blame for you!"

"Oh~"

Chen Yongren wore an expression of sudden realization.

"I understand, I finally understand!"

"No wonder you've been calling me like crazy lately—turns out you already knew the warehouse would have trouble!"

"Seeing I wouldn't fall for it, that's why you came up with such an extreme method!"

"I'm your own brother!"

"And there's this too?" Chi Mu Chengping asked, cooperating.

"Yeah, uncle." Chen Yongren briefly said it all.

Yuan Gangxian felt even colder inside.

Things have gone bad.

All these matters piled up; even with eight hundred mouths I couldn't explain myself.

But soon, Yuan Gangxian realized another serious problem.

Since this badge is fake, it shows the forger is very familiar with this badge.

One could even say they often played with it…

Someone in all of Jinmen who dislikes me and could come up with such a nasty trick…

"Chief, it's you, you bastard, dare to scheme against me!" Yuan Gangxian pointed at Chen Yongren and said angrily.

Besides Yuan Chief, Yuan Gangxian couldn't think of a second person.

Upon careful thought.

This matter is also full of loopholes,

The Dark Guard's appearance was too coincidental.

And at the moment I needed help most, they sent the badge over, implying they could let the Chief take the blame.

Now that I think about it, everywhere is a damn trap.

If the Yuan Chief really needed to take the blame, there would be no need for me to step forward; my father in Jingdu could settle it with a single telegram.

Or maybe I was just too hasty.

"Hey, you can't just spout nonsense; what have I schemed against you? It's clear you privately forged the badge, wanting me to take the blame for you." Chen Yongren pursed his lips.

"You're still pretending to be stupid; besides you, who else could it be?" Yuan Gangxian yelled in anger.

It's not only because there's no evidence, but also because I made a mistake, giving the other side a leverage.

I thought I was the hunter, but I turned into their prey, completely falling into a passive position.

"No matter what you say, this badge wasn't made by me." Yuan Gangxian desperately explained what happened tonight.

"It's a real shame you're not a screenwriter." Chen Yongren deliberately shook his head: "Where is that guy you're talking about? What's his surname and given name?"

Yuan Gangxian's expression stalled.

Chen Yongren continued: "The fake badge is in your hands; you can say whatever you want."

"What Dark Guard, where is the person?"

"You mean you can't find him?"

Upon hearing that, Yuan Gangxian pulled a long face; he indeed wanted to say that.

Seeing Yuan Gangxian unable to speak, Chen Yongren added: "So I wasn't wrong after all; it's clear you were flustered, seeing this situation couldn't be resolved, so you hastily made a fake badge!"

"Bah, you're talking nonsense; I'm being framed, this is clearly slander against me!" Seeing so many hats piled on his head, Yuan Gangxian panicked at once.

"If you don't believe me, I'll take you back to the company; they can prove it!"
