Chapter 768

Before Yang Nuoni returned, Yang Tian made the apology call to Yang Qing.

Yang Qing listened with a cold face.

He never expected that the children he worried about, who were far from him, would run into trouble.

Yet he never imagined the worst situation would occur right under his nose.

After hearing Yang Nuoni's misdeeds, Yang Qing wished he could physically destroy that thing.

But in the end, blood ties still softened his heart.

However, this softening had its limits.

"Good heavens, I never imagined our family would have something like this happen."

"In our family rules, was empathy never mentioned?"

"He Jin'er, Lin Cuiping, and Zhou Hui are children from poor families; I've always worried they'd become arrogant."

"Yet I never expected that Zhou Ying, from a family with decent living conditions and a strong scholarly atmosphere, would, in those ten years, produce someone like Zhou Ying who cannot distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, and treats lower-class people as less than human."

"You've shown me how terrifying it is for someone who has left the lower class."

"I don't know how heartbroken a child whose face is destroyed would be, ruined for life. I don't know how pitiful a child who is deafened would be, needing a hearing aid for life. I don't know whether the boy whose testicles were kicked apart can still father children."

"You say, how could Yang Nuoni not have felt these pains? If she doesn't experience them herself, how will she realize how cruel this is?"

"Fortunately she didn't kill anyone; she still has a future—don't let her become a scourge."

"Investigate the truth clearly and give everyone an explanation."

After hanging up, Yang Qing collapsed into the rocking chair.

At his age, he still has to expend mental and physical effort for the family.

He builds here while the younger generation tears down behind him.

If all his efforts are merely the capital for such arrogant and insolent behavior, his efforts will be meaningless.

In this life, despite all his scheming, it will also be meaningless.

He is even a participant in aiding the tyrant.

He came from an old farming background; he didn't forget it in his previous life, nor in this one—but what about his descendants?

To betray one's origins is to betray one's soul, one's ideals, and everything one is.

Upon hearing Yang Qing's words, Yang Tian felt a sudden pang in his heart.

It was for his own daughter and also for his own father.

It's not too late yet; at least no one has been killed.

Yang Qingfeng returned quickly, and Yang Nuolan also came back.

Seeing Zhou Ying sobbing with half her face swollen, then looking at his father's grim complexion.

They sensibly chose to remain silent.

They waited until Nuoni returned, and the oppressive atmosphere grew even more heavy.

During this time, a rough investigation result has already come out.

Yang Tian looked at Zhou Ying; fortunately her brother merely used his connections to harm some girls, without committing murder or arson.

Nevertheless, even so, Zhou Ying's life is over; he has harmed many girls, some of whom are minors.

He should just stay inside for this life.

Yang Nuoni still didn't know what had happened, and she came running back, hopping and skipping.

"Dad, what are you doing? I'm out shopping with friends."

Yang Tian looked at his little daughter; clearly so young, yet she had a head of multicolored hair.

Then he saw her midriff-baring outfit and denim mini-skirt.

Yang Tian closed his eyes briefly.

Originally he merely thought she had learned this from Yang Zhuhai and those people.

He hadn't expected she learned it from the ruffians.

He didn't want to say a word, because saying more would also be meaningless.

He pressed the call button.

Upon seeing it, Zhou Ying shuddered.

"Nuoni, hurry up and leave."

Yang Nuoni was still wondering why the atmosphere at home today was so strange.

Upon hearing Zhou Ying's words, she still hadn't reacted.

"Mom, who hit you? I'll make him look bad."

Yang Qingfeng kept Yang Nuolan to comfort Zhou Ying, while he pushed Yang Nuoni.

"Nuomi, go find Grandfather…"

Yang Tian roared in anger.

"Yang Qingfeng……"

It was already too late; security personnel had already entered.

Yang Tian pointed out two people.

"Take her to the police station for me."

Only then did Yang Nuoni feel that today was very bad.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

Yang Tian shouted a question.

"Don't you know what you yourself have done?"

Yang Nuoni still didn't want to admit it.

"What's wrong with me?"

"Dad, you can't wrongfully accuse me."

Yang Qing didn't continue with nonsense.

"Whether you've been wronged or not, the police won't wrongfully accuse you."

"Go ahead, just say she intentionally injured someone."

"The victim's information—I'll have someone send it over later."

He still needs to investigate clearly; he won't wrongfully accuse her, nor will he cover up her wrongdoing.

Being escorted out by security personnel.

Only then did Yang Nuoni start to feel afraid.

"Uncle, uncle, don't grab me, Mom, save me………"

The security personnel glanced at Yang Tian, then, following his gesture, took the person away.

"Yang Tian, that's your daughter!"

Yang Tian didn't even know it was his own daughter.

He looked at Yang Qingfeng and Yang Nuolan.

"You two remember, the Yang Family isn't aristocracy, conglomerates, or bullies."

"Within Daxia, no one can save you if you do evil."

"The Yang Family can protect you for life, but it won't protect you if you do evil."

Yang Qingfeng still knows a bit about recent public opinion.

"Dad, is it because of the current public opinion?"

Yang Tian let out a sigh.

"It's not just the current public opinion; no matter when, we Yang Family members must uphold the Yang Family precepts."

"Our Yang Family will never openly do evil or bully the weak."

"Your grandfather observed this principle, and we observe it."

"All Yang Family members must observe this principle."

"You actually have an uncle named Bang Geng; because he did evil, your grandmother never went to see him in the end."

"It's not that we don't want to; we can't."

"The Yang Family is not our license to do as we please."

"On the contrary, because we are Yang Family members, we should hold ourselves to stricter standards and treat others humbly."

"From childhood onward, just the cost of protecting you is astronomical; that money is created by ordinary people."

"You should know that the wives of your great-uncles are all from the lower classes."

"I, your father, am an accident; I married your mother, and she ended up causing this for the Yang Family."

Yang Qingfeng and Yang Nuolan couldn't fully understand Yang Tian's words.

"What about that sister—are we just leaving her be? She's still young?"

Zhou Ying timidly spoke up again for her daughter.

"Yeah, she's still a child."

Yang Tian looked toward the courtyard.

"Children? In the Yang Family there's no such thing as children—only good and evil deeds."

"After age five, all mistakes must be borne with responsibility."

"Children are not an excuse for wrongdoing."

After Yang Nuoni was taken away.

The Yang Family's investigation didn't stop.

If there was a misunderstanding about his own daughter, Yang Tian hoped Yang Nuoni had a justifiable reason.

But the investigation results disappointed him immensely; this child is pure evil.

Yang Tian could only secretly find a lawyer to bring all the victims forward, then file a collective lawsuit.

Yang Qing had already stated the plan; Yang Tian just had to follow it.

Zhou Ying's brother was also quickly thrown in.

As for this scoundrel, Yang Tian feared he wouldn't die, so he specially hired a top lawyer to plead for the victims.
