Liu Xianhong sat on a stool, reporting to the old man sitting on the master’s chair.
Liu Xianhong tried to describe Yang Chen arrogantly and portrayed himself as a bullied little girl, hoping to ignite the old man’s protective instincts.
However, after finishing his account, he noticed that the old man showed no reaction. Follow current novels on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥
Liu Xianhong secretly glanced up at the old man and found him resting with his eyes closed, almost as if asleep.
This sight made Liu Xianhong somewhat angry. After all he had said, was the old man even listening?
It was simply a waste of words!
Eventually, Liu Xianhong couldn’t tolerate it any longer and shouted angrily, "Grandfather! Why don’t you say something? I’ve been beaten, and you say nothing?"
It was then that Elder Liu slowly opened his eyes, looked at Liu Xianhong, and said quietly, "What do you think should be done about this?"
"Me?" A hint of malice flashed in Liu Xianhong’s eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "If it were up to me, I’d arrest him right away and kill him! He shouldn’t think that with the Ye family backing him, he can do whatever he wants. I want him to know that even the Ye family can’t protect him! In our Jin Chen, it’s still uncertain who is strong or weak!"
"Oh!" Elder Liu nodded and said, "So you’re suggesting that we directly break ties with the Ye family?"
"Not necessarily breaking ties; I think they definitely wouldn’t break ties with our Liu family over a dismissed guard. Yang Chen is not that important!" Liu Xianhong said confidently.
Hearing this, Elder Liu suddenly laughed.
Seeing Elder Ye laugh, Liu Xianhong also laughed coldly, "I want them to know, no one can deal with our Liu family! He dares hit me, he’s courting death!"
After speaking, a cold gleam flashed in Liu Xianhong’s eyes as if he had already crushed Yang Chen underfoot.
A whistling sound came to Liu Xianhong’s ears, and a rush of wind arose.
Liu Xianhong felt as if a hammer hit his face, shouting in pain, and fell to the ground, clutching his ear and howling miserably.
It was Elder Liu who hit him.
Elder Liu’s cane struck hard on the side of Liu Xianhong’s face, hitting his ear; blood immediately flowed down his cheek.
Looking at Liu Xianhong writhing on the ground, Elder Liu showed no trace of heartache, and the usual indulgence had vanished.
After a while, Liu Xianhong stopped howling and slowly sat up.
He looked completely drained and weak, his face pale, but the blood on his cheek was particularly glaring.
Liu Xianhong raised his head, glaring resentfully at Elder Liu, and asked, "Why?"
Elder Liu snorted coldly and said slowly, "In this state, I’d first teach you a lesson to save you from being taught by others outside!"
"What do you mean?" Liu Xianhong glared at Elder Liu.
Upon these words, Elder Liu lifted his cane and struck Liu Xianhong’s arm.
Liu Xianhong’s body swayed, groaning, immediately holding his arm, evidently hit hard.
"What do I mean?" Elder Liu said angrily, "Do you know Yang Chen’s identity? How much investigation have you done? I sent you to connect with Yang Chen, hoping you’d establish a good relationship with him, win him over! After all, you are peers! But to think you would do such a thing! It’s simply... simply..."
Elder Liu was so angry that he couldn’t speak.
"So? What do you want to tell me? How come I don’t know his identity? Isn’t he just a retired special forces member? Just Elder Zhuo’s godson? What’s so special? How does he compare with our Liu family? Why should I win him over? What qualification does he have! Why did you hit me?!" Liu Xianhong shouted.
Elder Liu suddenly stood up, pointing at Liu Xianhong, shouting, "I... I... I... I realize I’ve indeed, indeed mistaken about you! I didn’t expect, truly... sigh!"
Elder Liu couldn’t say anything more.
He understood that Liu Xianhong becoming this way couldn’t be separated from his indulgence!
Liu Xianhong stood up from the ground, stared at Elder Ye, and said, "Now tell me, what exactly is Yang Chen’s identity? Tell me how powerful he is! You even hit me for him! Speak! Speak!"
"You... you get out of here!" Elder Liu finally closed his eyes, said coldly.
Concerning Liu Xianhong, he was really disappointed!
"Fine! I’m leaving!" Liu Xianhong roared, stood up, and stormed out!
Watching Liu Xianhong run out, Grandpa Liu seemed to have his backbone removed, suddenly slumping onto the chair, panting heavily.
Outside, Li Shanyu walked in, saw Elder Liu’s state, hurriedly stepped forward, and asked, "Dad! What’s happening to you? Did that little bastard anger you?"
Elder Liu took a few deep breaths and said slowly, "It’s not just angering me; it’s like he’s trying to anger me to death!"
"What’s the matter?" Liu Shanyu couldn’t help but frown and ask.
After all, Liu Xianhong and Elder Liu’s relationship as grandfather and grandson were very good, and Elder Liu particularly doted on Liu Xianhong, but when Liu Xianhong went out just now, it looked like he had been beaten, and his face was covered in blood.
Elder Liu took a deep breath and said, "What’s the matter, didn’t I ask him to find Yang Chen? The idea was to have him win over Yang Chen, after all, they are both young people, and they should have more in common."
Liu Shanyu nodded, and indeed it was so.
"But do you know what the kid did?" Elder Liu said angrily.
"What?" Liu Shanyu was taken aback and asked.
Elder Liu said angrily, "This kid actually sent someone to beat Yang Chen? Isn’t this courting death? And do you know what he just told me? He said Yang Chen provoked him, deliberately humiliated him, and claimed Yang Chen challenged our Liu family? He intends for me to send people to deal with Yang Chen, to break ties with the Ye family! This kid, simply lawless! If I didn’t know the situation, could it have really caused problems? Sending people to attack him? He’s someone who can oppose the Shangqing Sect! Simply courting death!"
It was Liu Shanyu’s first time seeing his father so angry, he pondered a bit and asked, "Dad, this Yang Chen is really powerful?"
Elder Liu glanced at Liu Shanyu and said slowly, "It’s not Yang Chen who’s powerful, it’s the Shangqing Sect that’s powerful! Do you remember the story I told you about the Shangqing Sect exterminating the royal family of Beihai Country?"
Liu Shanyu nodded, frowning, "But isn’t that a legend?"
"What legend!" Elder Liu snorted coldly and said, "It’s a reality! I witnessed it with my own eyes back then! That person appeared and single-handedly entered Beihai Country, slaughtering the royal family of Beihai Country until only one bloodline was left, forced to resort to close kin marriage to ensure the bloodline, and now there’s only one woman left in the last generation. It’s all his doing! Think about it, how strong was Beihai Country’s Guard force back then? For him to enter unscathed and obliterate the royal family, how much power is needed?"
Liu Shanyu’s face changed slightly, nodding, "If that’s really the case, then it’s indeed terrifying! So... this Yang Chen..."
Elder Liu slowly nodded and said, "He’s the key! If we can win him over, the status of our Liu family..."
