Chapter 468: It was indeed excessive

"Xu! Tian!" Tang Jihuai raged: "Didn't I say it was a misunderstanding!"

Just as he was roaring, a crisp sound of high heels came from the corridor again.

Tang Jihuai's body stiffened noticeably. He turned his head back tremblingly, and after seeing who was coming, the terror in his eyes became even more apparent.

"Family Head... Second Brother..."

In addition to the frost-faced Tang Bingyan, there were Tang Laoyezi, Tang Zhipeng, and other high-level Tang family members. The group surrounded the interrogation room, which was not large to begin with, until it was packed tight.

"Family Head, Elders!"

Seeing the arrivals, the interrogators and guards stepped forward to greet them one after another.

The two bodyguards who had been thrown over the shoulder by Xu Tian also ignored their pain, scrambled to stand up, and cowered behind Tang Jihuai.

Hadn't Tang Bingyan been issued a critical condition notice? How could she appear in the interrogation room, full of life?

The reason they were so emboldened to lock Xu Tian in was that Tang Bingyan was in critical condition, and after she died, Tang Jihuai would quickly take over the Tang family.

Otherwise, even if they were given several guts, they wouldn't dare to act according to Tang Jihuai's instructions!

However, what shocked them even more was that Tang Bingyan had just woken up and had actually come in person.

It could be seen that the importance she placed on Xu Tian was even deeper than the rumors suggested.

Then, by locking Xu Tian in the interrogation room, hadn't they just walked right into the line of fire?

The two bodyguards were full of despair, trying their best to lower their presence, while Tang Bingyan didn't even spare them a glance.

After Tang Bingyan walked into the interrogation room, she began searching for Xu Tian's figure.

When she saw the person standing safely in the interrogation room, the ice on her face finally softened a little.

Despite this, Tang Bingyan still walked quickly to Xu Tian and asked with a cold face.

"Didn't I arrange for you to leave? Why did you come back?"

Xu Tian smiled and pulled Tang Bingyan into his arms, whispering in her ear: "How could your man run for his life alone when you are facing a predicament?"

After Tang Xin gave him new identity materials, yesterday, after he returned to the villa, another person he hadn't expected came to find him.

Of course, he didn't choose to leave either.

Although his current status couldn't be compared to Tang Bingyan's, if he had accepted Tang Bingyan's arrangement at such a critical juncture, wouldn't he have truly become a pretty boy living off a woman?

Most importantly, he firmly believed that Tang Bingyan would be able to wake up.

He had been reborn with great difficulty and had enough time and opportunity to make up for the regrets of his previous life; he absolutely could not let himself fall into a situation of lifelong regret again.

Tang Bingyan raised her hand slightly and broke free from Xu Tian's embrace, seemingly not wanting to be so intimate with him in front of others.

And the Tang family members present, seeing that this cold-hearted Business Queen could actually have such a vulnerable side, were all shocked, but none dared to express it.

"A Wei."

Tang Bingyan glanced at A Wei. A Wei immediately understood and took out his phone to find a video, playing it for Tang Jihuai in front of everyone.

"Ah ah ah ah... it hurts... don't hit me... ah ah ah..."

In the video was Tang Jihuai's son, Tang Qingwen, whose face was bruised and swollen, tortured until he was unrecognizable.

Seeing his son's miserable state, Tang Jihuai gritted his teeth in anger.

Nowadays, Tang Bingyan focused on recuperation and rarely took action herself, which made him almost forget that this woman was originally a ruthless character.

Tang Bingyan watched with great satisfaction as Tang Jihuai's face turned pale bit by bit, and then her thin lips parted slightly.

"Tang Jihuai has behaved improperly. From now on, he is stripped of all authority within the Tang family, removed from the genealogy, and is not allowed to return to the Tang family."

What?

Tang Jihuai was removed from the genealogy?

The people present were stunned for a long time before realizing they hadn't misheard; this was Tang Bingyan's order.

"On what grounds are you removing me?" Tang Jihuai also reacted, roaring angrily and questioning Tang Bingyan: "This is not according to the rules. Even if I made a mistake, my Qingwen has already been punished for me. You cannot punish me again!"

Being removed from the genealogy was a quite serious punishment. In the past, only those who betrayed the family would have such an end. He had only locked Xu Tian in the interrogation room; even if Tang Bingyan pursued it, it should have been enough for his eldest son to take the blame for him.

Tang Jihuai's plan was well-calculated, but he didn't expect Tang Bingyan to be so heartless, not caring about the feelings of elders at all, and directly removing him.

He was an elder of the Tang family, serving the Tang family for so many years; even if there was no credit, there was hard work.

Now, just because of Xu Tian, a pretty boy who served with his looks and made no contribution to the Tang family, she wanted to drive him away. Is this reasonable?

"Second Brother, do you think the Family Head's decision is a bit excessive?"

In his shock and anger, Tang Jihuai subconsciously looked at Tang Laoyezi. He thought that this time Tang Laoyezi would also consider their brotherhood and say a few kind words for him, but he didn't expect Tang Laoyezi to turn his head away and not look at him at all.

"Cousin... this is not according to the rules!" Tang Jihuai gritted his teeth and looked at Tang Zhipeng again: "Just because she is the Family Head, can she treat the Tang family's rules as nothing?"

A century-old family like the Tang family valued rules and etiquette the most; otherwise, there wouldn't be an Elder Council.

Even if Tang Bingyan was the person in power in the family now, according to the rules, she couldn't act arbitrarily and dictate everything.

Tang Zhipeng was silent for a moment.

Finally, he spoke: "Family Head, our Tang family's genealogy rules indeed do not have such a punishment. I hope you can think twice before acting."

Think twice? Tang Bingyan raised her eyebrows slightly.

Tang Zhipeng nodded under pressure, but his gaze didn't dare to meet Tang Bingyan's.

"That's right, I hope the Family Head can reconsider..."

"No need." Tang Bingyan swept a cold glance over everyone present: "Rules that didn't exist before, now exist."

In the Tang family, only the rules she set were rules.

As soon as Tang Bingyan said this, the surroundings fell into silence instantly.

Those Tang family members who were originally eager to plead for Tang Jihuai lowered their heads one after another, not daring to speak again.

Tang Zhipeng's face changed again and again. He wanted to speak again several times, but finally, he just sighed lightly.

Tang Jihuai's actions this time were indeed excessive...

It would be fine if Tang Bingyan didn't pursue it, but once she really got serious, there was nothing they could do.

If Tang Bingyan really wanted to shield a man who harmed the family's interests, then he, as the Enforcement Elder of the family, would have to intervene. But now, Xu Tian had taken meticulous care of Tang Bingyan and even cured her stubborn illness; he was a benefactor to the entire Tang family. Both publicly and privately, he had no position to plead for Tang Jihuai.

Even Tang Zhipeng, the Enforcement Elder, had backed down; others were even less likely to jump out and throw their lives away at such a critical juncture.

Tang Jihuai was indeed too anxious this time. The hospital hadn't even announced the death, and he had actually taken it upon himself to handle the funeral arrangements. ===== CHAPTER 469 =====
