Chapter 353: Ruthless and Vicious

"Chen Yu, even if I have to stake my life and drag the entire Yu Clan down with me, I will fight you to the death. Not just you, but every one of your friends and family will be wiped out, leaving not a single one behind."

"Since you are so vicious, then don't blame me." Chen Yu sneered, "Yu Lingxuan, are you sure you want to stake the entire Yu Clan to play this game with me?"

"That's right, even if I have to stake the entire Yu Clan, I will play this game with you to the end," Yu Lingxuan shrieked.

"Unfortunately, I'm afraid you don't have the qualifications for that," Chen Yu said grimly.

"Do it, wipe him out." Yu Lingxuan did not want to waste any more words with Chen Yu; she waved her hand and turned her head away.

She had originally thought that as soon as she gave the order, Chen Yu would immediately be riddled with bullets like a sieve, but after her order was given, not a single person beside her moved.

"Why aren't you doing it? Is the gun in your hand trash?" Yu Lingxuan looked at the dozen or so people behind her in disbelief.

These ten people were mercenaries she had spent a great deal of money to hire from abroad; she stubbornly believed that no matter how powerful Chen Yu was, he could not compete with bullets, and these dozen guns would definitely be able to finish him off.

But now, her people seemed to no longer listen to her.

"Do it, why aren't you doing it? Do it!" Yu Lingxuan kicked one of the mercenaries.

But these people did not move at all, letting her hit and scold them.

"Yu Zu, do it now, wipe out Chen Yu. Where are your Blood Guards? Hurry!" Yu Lingxuan roared in anger.

Yu Zu did not say a word; he stood to one side, motionless, as if he had not heard Yu Lingxuan's words at all.

"Is it you?" Yu Lingxuan reacted instantly, "Do you want to rebel, Yu Zu?"

"Second Sister, don't blame me." Yu Zu admitted it directly, "I cannot let you lead the Yu Family to their deaths; after all, the Yu Family raised me."

"Shut your mouth," Yu Lingxuan shrieked, "You want to seize power, right? The eldest has no ability, the third has severed ties with the Yu Family, and the old man is lying on his deathbed. You, an outsider, are already harboring these crooked thoughts?"

"I'm sure you won't believe me if I say I'm doing this for the Yu Family." Yu Zu grinned, "But that is the truth; I am indeed doing this for the Yu Family."

"Yu Zu, you bastard, the Yu Family has treated you well, why are you betraying me?" Yu Lingxuan was trembling with rage.

"The Yu Family treated me well?" Yu Zu laughed, his voice trembling, "Back then, the old man picked me up from a trash heap, gave me a bite to eat, and bestowed the surname Yu upon me. I remember all of that."

"And I only owe him that debt. As for the three of you? Heh, you have always treated me like a dog. Even in front of you, I had to be careful with every word I spoke. Did you ever treat me like a human being?"

"Even if you had treated me like a human being just a little bit, if I, Yu Zu, were to take this step, then I would be a bastard, I would be nothing. But did you?"

"You ungrateful thing, I knew a dog like you could never be tamed. Men, seize Yu Zu!" Yu Lingxuan said sternly.

She had originally thought that with the dense crowd of a hundred people standing before her, and given that Yu Zu had only just returned from abroad, it was impossible for him to have seized absolute power so quickly, so she was not afraid at all.

But her command was of no use; not a single one of the hundred or so people standing before her moved.

"Can you not hear my words? You are all people of the Yu Family, and I am the Head of Family. Now I order you, seize Yu Zu!" Yu Lingxuan screamed.

These people still did not move at all; the people behind her raised their guns and aimed them at Yu Lingxuan.

Yu Lingxuan's scalp tingled; only then did she realize that Yu Zu had already made full preparations. He was here today to seize power.

"Yu Zu, you have quite the methods." Yu Lingxuan looked at Yu Zu in disbelief, "You were actually able to seize control of the Yu Family's power so quickly?"

"Second Sister, I don't have the ability to seize power that quickly. I only did one thing, and that thing is winning people's hearts." Yu Zu smiled.

"You are in cahoots with Chen Yu?" Yu Lingxuan understood instantly, and she raged, "You traitorous bastard."

"Mr. Chen cured my hidden injuries, allowing me to live a normal life like everyone else in the future. Moreover, it is a win-win situation for us to cooperate, so why wouldn't I listen to him?" Yu Zu retorted.

"Ungrateful, bastard..." Yu Lingxuan gritted her teeth in anger.

"Second Sister, let it go. Sichun has already passed; you were the one who sent her away from here with your own hands. The dead cannot return to life. Why not relinquish power and live out the rest of your days in peace?" Yu Zu sighed.

"Shut your mouth. I will not submit. The Yu Family is mine. Yu Zu, even if you kill me, you will not get the power of the Yu Family." Yu Lingxuan was trembling all over with rage.

"I think you should see one more person." Chen Yu smiled and said, "Mr. Yu, have the old man of the Yu Family come out."

"Alright." Yu Zu nodded, and he turned back to say, "Please bring the old man."

The crowd parted, and a bodyguard pushed a wheelchair slowly toward them. Sitting in the wheelchair was an old man; this old man was none other than Yu Chengde, the old man of the Yu Family who had been paralyzed by a stroke for ten years.

Originally, Yu Chengde had been paralyzed by a stroke ten years ago, his consciousness unclear and his face twisted, but now his features were upright and his complexion was ruddy; he looked no different from a normal person.

"Dad... how are you..." Yu Lingxuan was shocked; she looked at her father in horror, unable to speak for a moment.

"Little Er, stop now." Yu Chengde said calmly, "Your great-grandfather, your grandfather, and I, through three generations and over eighty years, finally gave the Yu Family a foothold in Fengling."

"Now that the situation is settled, you have to accept it whether you want to or not. Once the fighting starts, the authorities will surely hold someone accountable. You can die, but you cannot drag the entire Yu Family to their deaths."

"When did your illness get better? How could you possibly recover?" Yu Lingxuan looked shocked.

"Heh, that's right, how could I possibly recover?" Yu Chengde laughed, his smile full of bitterness, "Since you were young, I treated you like a boy, sent you abroad to study, and taught you the ways of survival."

"My original intention was that even if you married in the future, you would have the ability to survive without relying on your maiden family and wouldn't suffer in your husband's home. Heh, but the methods you learned were all used on me."

Yu Lingxuan's face was full of hatred, but she did not say a word.

"I had a stroke ten years ago; it was your doing, wasn't it? Your methods were indeed formidable. You poisoned me, causing the toxin to trigger a stroke, then suppressed your eldest brother to seize the power of the Yu Clan. The whole sequence of operations was seamless."

Yu Chengde laughed, "All these years, you were afraid I would wake up, so you kept injecting me with drugs, making me live a life worse than death for ten years."

"How did you get better?" Yu Lingxuan looked at Yu Chengde with hatred, "You have been in charge of the Yu Family for forty years, haven't you had enough? Even emperors take turns on the throne."
