Chapter 1104

Originally, the father and son, Song Song Tianming and Song Rongyu, had already been scared to the point of a mental breakdown; hearing that Ye Chen was going to invite Old Master Song up, the two felt as if they had been struck by lightning, their entire bodies trembling violently.

At this moment, the common subtext deep in the father and son's hearts was: "Isn't the Old Master already senile? He can't even control his own bowels; what is Ye Chen bringing him here for at a time like this?"

Song Song Tianming's heart skipped a beat, and he thought in despair, "Could it be... could it be... could it be that the old thing has recovered to his original state?! This... doesn't this mean everything is over?!"

Just as he was thinking this, the Song family's head butler, Uncle Yu, accompanied Old Master Song as he walked in.

At this time, Old Master Song had a vigorous figure and a stern expression; how could there be any sign of senility?

Song Song Tianming and Song Rongyu were even more panicked; no matter how they thought about it, they couldn't understand why Old Master Song, who was still in the hospital this morning and wetting his pants in front of them, had recovered to his original state now?!

As soon as Old Master Song entered the report hall, he glared at the father and son, Song Song Tianming and Song Rongyu, with a sharp gaze and rebuked them angrily, "You bastards! Did you two think you could cover the sky with one hand?! Not only did you dare to plot against Wanting, but you also dared to poison me; do you have even a shred of humanity left?!"

Song Song Tianming was scared out of his wits, kneeling all the way to Old Master Song, crying, "Dad... I was wrong, Dad... I deserve to die, I was blinded by greed, I truly know I was wrong! Please spare me this once, Dad!"

Old Master Song scolded furiously, "Spare you? Do you still have the face to ask me to spare you?! Do you know that according to the family rules established by our Song family ancestors, what you have committed is a capital crime!"

Song Song Tianming cried, "Dad, I did commit a grave error, but I was forced into it!"

"Bullshit!"

Old Master Song roared, then immediately raised his hand and slapped Song Song Tianming across the face!

Song Song Tianming covered his face and wailed, "Dad! Think about it, I am your eldest son! The eldest son! According to our ancestors' rules since ancient times, the eldest son should inherit the throne, so why didn't you let me be the head of the Song family? Why let Song Wanting, a yellow-haired girl, be the head of the Song family? If you had let me be the head of the Song family, how could I have committed such a grave error?"

Old Master Song was so angry that he felt a surge of blood to his heart, and he raised his hand to slap Song Song Tianming again: "You bastard! Even now you are still finding all sorts of excuses to shirk responsibility. If it weren't for Master Ye's generous help and strategic planning this time, Wanting would have been killed by you two father and son long ago! And I would have been poisoned by you into senility! Do you think you can shirk responsibility for this matter?"

In order to save himself, Song Rongyu cried to Old Master Song, "Grandpa, I was only following Dad's instructions; everything was arranged by him. Please, for the sake of me being your eldest grandson, spare me this once..."

Old Master Song pointed at Song Rongyu and said angrily, "Shameless, irresponsible, kicking someone when they're down, selling out your father for glory! How did my Song family produce a degenerate like you!"

As he spoke, he looked at the father and son and said coldly, "You two are the degenerates of the Song family; having committed such a grave crime, you must be dealt with according to family law! It is useless for anyone to plead for you!"

Subsequently, he looked at Uncle Yu beside him and blurted out, "Old Yu, you have been in the Song family for many years; you tell me, according to the Song family's rules, how should these two be dealt with?!"

Uncle Yu said sternly, "According to the first article of the Song family's rules, those who kill their own kin shall be killed! Those who attempt to kill their father shall be killed!"

Song Rongyu was so scared he almost fainted, crying out, "Grandpa! This is a society ruled by law, not the feudal society of the past! You have no right to kill us! If you kill us, you yourself will be executed by firing squad!"

Song Song Tianming also choked with sobs, "Dad, if you are unwilling to spare us, then hand us over to the judicial authorities! Let the judicial authorities judge us impartially; no matter how many years they sentence us to, we will accept it..."

Song Song Tianming knew very well that even if he and his son were prosecuted, it was absolutely impossible for their crimes to reach the threshold of the death penalty.

He thought to himself: "After all, my son and I did not kill anyone with our own hands; the ones who truly killed were those few murderers that Hashimoto Kinzen found in Japan."

"When the time comes, if I can actively compensate the families of the three victims and obtain their forgiveness, the court will certainly reduce the sentencing for us father and son at its discretion!"

"I'll just compensate each family twenty or thirty million; if that doesn't work, I'll compensate each family fifty million! I'll compensate them until their families can laugh in their dreams; then they will definitely actively issue letters of forgiveness and plead for us father and son to the court!"

Old Master Song also knew very well that this was not a feudal society after all, and the set of family laws from the feudal era was certainly not applicable now.

Therefore, he could not really have Song Song Tianming and Song Rongyu killed in front of so many people.

Moreover, taking a step back.

Even if the law didn't care, Old Master Song truly couldn't bring himself to do it.

He truly hated this father and son.

But, what flowed in the bodies of this father and son was the blood of the Song family.

The Song family was already not prosperous enough in descendants; if he really killed them, not to mention that he couldn't bear it in his heart, he would have no face to face his ancestors after death.

In fact, all parents in the world are like this.

Even if they know their child is a fierce wolf, they would rather cut off their own flesh to feed it.

How could they bear to kill them with their own hands?

Old Master Song was incomparably conflicted in his heart; at one moment, he even thought, why not just hand these two people over to the judicial authorities, let the judicial authorities sentence them to ten or twenty years, or even life imprisonment, which would also be considered eliminating harm for the people.

However, he immediately thought of Ye Chen again.

He thought to himself: "This time, Master Ye only took action entirely for the sake of Song Wanting."

"If my handling of this matter cannot satisfy Master Ye, wouldn't that mean I have offended Master Ye?!"

Thinking of this, he immediately turned to look at Ye Chen and bowed respectfully, saying, "Master Ye! The Song family has produced these two evil obstacles; it is all thanks to you turning the tide, otherwise I, Song Jimo, and my granddaughter Song Wanting would probably have died without a burial place. Now these two evil obstacles are here; whether to kill or skin them is entirely up to you, Master Ye!"

Upon hearing this, Song Song Tianming hurriedly kowtowed to Ye Chen, crying, "Master Ye, please raise your hand high and hand us father and son over to the judicial authorities!"

Song Rongyu also begged tearfully, "Master Ye, we father and son are not worth your time; just hand us over to the judicial authorities and let the law sanction us..."

Song Rongyu had also figured it out; being sentenced to prison was painful, but as long as one could live, that was the best thing.

When the time came, he and his father could spend more money to pull some strings and get some special care in prison; in that case, life wouldn't be too difficult...

Ye Chen smiled calmly at this time, looked at Song Wanting, and asked, "Wanting, what do you think?"
