Chapter 65: Xiao Chen Wants to See Xiao Ruoyu's Sincerity (Begging for Readers to Follow)

"Xiao Ming, what are you doing?"

Seeing his own younger brother Xiao Ming make a move, Xiao Hanshan frowned deeply and asked with a livid face.

"Big brother, calm down!"

Xiao Ming blocked the way in front of Xiao Tiancheng and said with a complex expression, "Tiancheng is more suitable for the position of Young Master of the Xiao Family than that girl Ruoyu. You might as well fulfill his wish to avoid a great clash and the internal depletion of the family's strength."

Looking at his own biological brother, who was still playing the good guy in front of him at a time like this, Xiao Hanshan was so angry he didn't know where to begin.

Intense hatred welled up in his heart, and he roared angrily, "Xiao Ming, do you really think that nobody knows about the underhanded things you did back then?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming's pupils constricted, a trace of panic flashing deep in his eyes. After a long silence, he gritted his teeth and said, "Big brother, what do you mean?"

"Heh, what do I mean?"

Seeing him play dumb, a trace of mockery appeared on Xiao Hanshan's face: "More than twenty years ago, when you took advantage of me being away from the Xiao Family for over a month, what good deeds did you do to Wan'er?"

"You... how could you know about that matter?"

Hearing these words, Xiao Ming was completely shocked; he stared at Xiao Hanshan with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief.

Besides him and Wan'er, no one else knew about that matter.

Wan'er had already been dead for over a decade; how did Xiao Hanshan know about this?

"If you don't want people to know, you shouldn't have done it." Xiao Hanshan shook his head and smiled.

Immediately following this, his gaze turned abruptly cold. He swept a glance at Xiao Ming and Xiao Tiancheng that was cold to the extreme and shouted in a deep voice, "It has been twenty-three years; it is time for me to settle this account with you father and son."

"What?!"

Hearing this, everyone was so surprised their jaws nearly dropped.

What did this mean?

Xiao Tiancheng was not the Head of the Family's son, but a bastard born privately between Xiao Ming and Xiao Tiancheng's mother, Wan'er?

This was too inconceivable!

It is estimated that even those novels wouldn't dare to write such a melodramatic plot.

Raising a son for over twenty years, only to find out he wasn't his own—this feeling is something one can probably only understand if they experience it themselves.

It simply refreshed everyone's worldview.

After learning the truth about his identity, Xiao Tiancheng's face turned deathly pale in a flash, his lips trembling as he said with difficulty, "This... this is simply not true!"

He couldn't accept the fact that Xiao Ming was his biological father for the time being.

"Hahaha..."

Seeing that the matter was exposed, Xiao Ming was slightly stunned at first, then looked up and laughed wildly, acting as if he had gone mad, "Big brother, so you knew all along. No wonder you haven't given the Young Master position to my son Tiancheng all these years."

Since Xiao Hanshan knew, he simply stopped pretending and laid his cards on the table.

In any case, he had done many unscrupulous things in secret over the years, so he wasn't afraid of adding one more.

"Xiao Ming, do you still want any face? You defiled your sister-in-law, and now you are still shamelessly coveting the position of Head of the Family. You deserve to die..."

Xiao Hanshan pointed at Xiao Ming, trembling with rage, his old face flushed red, his chest heaving continuously; he was clearly angry to the extreme.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming was not afraid at all and sneered, "So what? Even if I am as bad as you say, I am still better than you. You can't even protect your own daughter, so what right do you have to sit in the position of Head of the Family?"

After saying this, he turned around and patted the shoulder of the stunned Xiao Tiancheng, comforting him: "Tiancheng, don't worry. Once we father and son successfully seize power, you can play with this old thing's woman however you want... If that doesn't work, we father and son can play together."

Hearing this, Xiao Tiancheng's eyes immediately lit up, and the gloom in his heart was swept away, as if he had found his backbone.

He clenched his fists excitedly and said, "Father, I will listen to your instructions in everything. Let's kill this old thing right now!"

"Hahaha, good child, Father really didn't dote on you in vain."

Xiao Ming patted his son's shoulder, a look of appreciation appearing in his eyes.

"Xiao Ming, and that bastard, you only have thirty experts on your side, while I have over sixty."

Xiao Hanshan laughed out of extreme anger, "Today, I will let you see what despair is!"

"Oh, really?" Hearing this, Xiao Ming turned around, straightened his robe, and said with a faint smile.

"Why, do you still have a trump card?" Xiao Hanshan asked with a frown.

"Heh heh, it doesn't really count as a trump card, just my trusted aides."

After finishing, Xiao Ming clapped his hands and shouted toward the space behind Xiao Hanshan, "Elders, come over."

Swish~

The sixty-plus people who were originally standing beside Xiao Hanshan suddenly lost half their number, as they went to Xiao Ming's side.

The original thirty-plus versus sixty-plus changed into sixty-plus versus thirty-plus in the blink of an eye.

It went from one-to-two to two-to-one.

Xiao Hanshan originally had an absolute advantage, but the situation had now directly reversed.

Xiao Hanshan's side was now at an absolute disadvantage.

"Head of the Family, what should we do?"

Seeing this, an Elder beside Xiao Hanshan couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

None of them had expected the other side to have these trump cards, catching them completely off guard.

"What are you panicking about!"

Cold light surged between Xiao Hanshan's brows, his face calm and composed.

He was the Head of the Xiao Family; he could not let them see a panicked expression on him at this time.

"Son, look, this is the power Father has secretly recruited for you over these years."

Xiao Ming glanced triumphantly at the livid-faced Xiao Hanshan, then waved his hand at his subordinates: "Take them!"

"Head of the Family, I am sorry..."

Whoosh!

In an instant, more than sixty high-ranking members of the Xiao Family rushed toward Xiao Hanshan simultaneously, their auras extremely fierce and vicious.

The pressure from so many experts directly caused the space in this area to become somewhat distorted and deformed.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Hanshan was plunged into a heavy encirclement.

Not far away, the father and son, Xiao Ming, stood quietly to the side watching the spectacle.

Facing so many experts, Xiao Hanshan's expression changed several times, finally turning into a long sigh: "What a disaster."

The atmosphere at the scene reached an extreme level of oppression.

Especially the high-ranking members of the Xiao Family standing beside Xiao Hanshan; their faces were flushed red, and cold sweat constantly seeped from their foreheads.

Is this the end?

————————

Su Family.

Su Chen's study.

The scene unfolding on the Xiao Family's side was entirely displayed before Su Chen and Xiao Ruoyu by the Image Jade.

Seeing her father's bewildered and helpless expression in the light screen, Xiao Ruoyu's pretty face turned deathly pale, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, and she knelt before Su Chen, pleading.

"Young Master, I am willing to serve you for a lifetime, as long as you are willing to send people to save my father, to save my Xiao Family!"

She bit her silver teeth tightly, staring at Su Chen with a pleading face, her heart burning with anxiety, wishing only that she could take her father's place and suffer the ordeal.

Hearing this, Su Chen continued to sit with his legs crossed, staring at the light screen with an indifferent expression, as if he had not heard Xiao Ruoyu's request at all.

Seeing this, Xiao Ruoyu immediately understood Su Chen's meaning.

He won't release the Eagle until he sees the rabbit!

He wants to see sincerity.

Thus, she bit her red lips, steeled her heart, and her jade-like hand reached toward the belt on her white long dress.
