Chapter 179: Tang Bingyan Wakes Up

~8 min read 1,436 words

A Wei stared blankly at the Tang Family Patriarch, and it took a long time for him to realize that his suspicion had been cleared.

And Chen Yuan, who had originally wanted to destroy his own kin for the sake of justice, could not hide the excitement on his face.

Great!

Their A Wei was not a traitor; he knew A Wei wouldn't do such a beastly thing!

Learning that A Wei was not a traitor, the expressions on the other elders' faces also softened, only Tang Jihuai remained gloomy.

Now that the Tang Family Patriarch had expressed his stance and cleared A Wei's suspicion, it was almost impossible for him to find an excuse to attack him and the Chen family in the near future.

It was clearly a perfect deployment, but because that kid Xu Tian intervened, it disrupted all his plans.

Damn it!

Truly damn it!

Although Tang Jihuai wished he could hack Xu Tian into a thousand pieces, on the surface he pretended to be suddenly enlightened and changed his tune:

"So it really was us who misunderstood the child A Wei. But in the future, you should be more careful in your work; how could you leave such a big hidden danger for yourself?"

"The Sixth Elder's lesson is well taken. A Wei will definitely remember this lesson and never make the same mistake again."

A Wei nodded unyieldingly at Tang Jihuai, but a flash of vigilance secretly crossed his eyes.

He had long seen through what Tang Jihuai was planning; for the other party to still want to hypocritically pretend to be a good person at this time made him feel disgusted.

Gu Beicheng, mingling in the crowd, took advantage of the crowd's cover to calmly observe Xu Tian.

This Xu Tian had once again exceeded his expectations.

A Wei had clearly been convicted as a traitor, yet Xu Tian had turned the tide and easily cleared his suspicion.

Wasn't he just a useless pretty boy as Chen Xiaoxiao and others described?

But his performance these few times really didn't look like that of a good-for-nothing who knew nothing.

Was Xu Tian just too good at disguising, or was there some other hidden story?

Chen Yuan came to Xu Tian with excitement, held Xu Tian's hand tightly, and bowed repeatedly to thank him: "Thank you, Mr. Xu, for clarifying things for our A Wei. Thank you, Mr. Xu, for explaining the truth!"

Chen Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Tian clarifying things for A Wei didn't just save A Wei; it saved the entire Chen family.

"Uncle Chen, you are too polite. I just stated the facts I knew."

Xu Tian patted Chen Yuan's shoulder comfortingly: "A Wei has always been loyal to Bingyan. I have always believed that he would absolutely never do anything to betray Bingyan."

Chen Yuan's eyes turned slightly red with emotion, and he nodded repeatedly, his voice choked: "Regardless, A Wei being able to restore his innocence is thanks to Mr. Xu."

Tang Jihuai watched Chen Yuan and Xu Tian not far away with cold eyes and suddenly attacked again: "Xu Tian, now A Yuan has indeed restored his innocence, but you don't look so innocent."

"In your narrative just now, you couldn't prove your own innocence. What if you are also an undercover agent planted in our Tang family by Tattoo, and saving Bingyan at a critical moment this time was just to gain the trust of Bingyan and my second brother to achieve your ulterior motives? What should we do then?"

"To be safe, I want to send you to the Tang family's interrogation room for a good interrogation."

"Of course, whether you are innocent in the end will need to be decided by the Tang family elders after collective discussion."

Interrogation room?

Xu Tian's expression tightened.

He naturally knew what kind of place the Tang family's interrogation room was.

If he were locked in the interrogation room, he would inevitably be subjected to torture, which was exactly what Tang Jihuai wanted.

Tang Jihuai struck while the iron was hot and immediately went to the Tang Family Patriarch and the Great Elder, saying seriously: "Big brother, second brother, this Xu Tian is not as innocent as he looks on the surface. On the contrary, I think he is devious and cunning."

"When Bingyan wanted to marry him, I was a hundred percent reluctant, fearing Bingyan would be deceived by this kid. Now, it's better to take advantage of everyone being present as witnesses and lock him in the interrogation room to find out his background."

"After all, Bingyan is the head of the Tang family; her husband's identity must be clean. To be a son-in-law of the Tang family, one must have absolutely no stains."

"In case this person is an undercover agent sent by some force targeting the Tang family, he will definitely be detrimental to our Tang family in the future..."

The Great Elder's expression loosened upon hearing this.

He had always been in charge of the Tang family's family law and had heavy responsibilities, so his methods were strict.

For the sake of the Tang family, it was naturally safer to thoroughly investigate Xu Tian, so he agreed with Tang Jihuai's proposal on this matter and nodded:

"You are right. Bingyan is the head of the Tang family; her husband is naturally different from an ordinary Tang family son-in-law. I think it is very necessary to thoroughly investigate whether he has colluded with other forces."

Although the Great Elder said so, the Tang Family Patriarch was a bit hesitant.

He didn't speak immediately, but weighed the pros and cons in his heart.

On one hand, there were indeed many doubts about Xu Tian, but on the other hand, he knew clearly how important Xu Tian was to his granddaughter.

If Tang Bingyan woke up and found they had sent Xu Tian to the interrogation room, then according to her temper, it would probably cause a huge scene that couldn't be resolved.

Tang Jihuai knew what the Tang Family Patriarch was worried about, so he didn't wait for him to nod and took charge, ordering the Tang family bodyguards behind him:

"A few of you, come over and lock him in the interrogation room. I will interrogate him personally in a while!"

Hearing Tang Jihuai's order, four bodyguards rushed toward Xu Tian.

"Stop!"

A Wei's face changed, and he hurriedly blocked in front of Xu Tian.

However, at this time, Xu Tian patted his shoulder, signaling him not to get involved.

"But..."

A Wei was extremely anxious. He also knew that speaking up for Xu Tian at this time would likely implicate himself again, and even implicate Xu Tian, but he couldn't just watch Xu Tian be sent to the interrogation room.

He grew up in the Tang family and naturally knew the horror of the Tang family's interrogation room. Even if a person was innocent, they would lose half their life when they came out. How could he watch Xu Tian be sent to such a place?

But Xu Tian used a firm look at this time to tell him not to intervene.

In the end, A Wei retreated a step in vain.

He stared at Xu Tian with a worried expression and silently opened his mouth to whisper: "Sorry..."

He felt very guilty that he couldn't do anything at this time.

Xu Tian had been hinting to A Wei not to act rashly. The elders in the family already had many guesses about his identity, and A Wei's suspicion had finally been cleared. Speaking up for him now was no different from digging his own grave.

He had finally cleared the other party's grievances, and now absolutely nothing could go wrong.

Of course, he would absolutely not enter the Tang family's interrogation room.

But right now, he was surrounded by Tang family bodyguards. Even if A Wei and the others wouldn't act against him, the people under the Tang Family Patriarch and the Great Elder might not let him go.

At this moment, Xu Tian was already calculating the probability of him escaping from the Tang family.

In any case, the best of the thirty-six stratagems is to flee. First, find a way to get away from danger, then find a way to deal with this old guy Tang Jihuai.

Just as Xu Tian was silently calculating which window to jump out of, he suddenly heard a voice as cold and piercing as midwinter sound from behind the crowd:
