“I know you’ve brought in your former subordinates, an overseas assassin group, mercenaries.” Chen Zhengye glanced at his phone, put it on the table, and then stood up.
"You hired so many people just to kill me, didn't you?"
“That’s right, I’m going to kill you. Your life is the biggest threat to me. If I kill you, the position of family head can only be mine,” Chen Zhengyi said coldly.
"Brother, do we have to fight like brothers? I don't really have any intention of competing with you, so why won't you let me go?" Chen Zhengye's tone suddenly changed.
"What do you want to do?" Chen Zhengyi frowned, suddenly sensing that something was wrong with his younger brother.
He knew Chen Zhengye better than anyone else; he was cunning and shrewd, even more so than himself.
His sudden change in tone must be something bad.
"You, you poisoned me?" Chen Zhengye suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Large gulps of fresh blood gushed out as if it were free.
"Second son?" Chen Zhengyi was taken aback. He roared, "Someone, call the doctor! Call the doctor right now!"
No one responded, because the outside was full of Chen Zhengye's men. He grabbed Chen Zhengye tightly and shouted, "Second brother, wake up!"
Chen Zhengye is going to die, but he absolutely cannot die here, otherwise he will never be able to clear his name.
"Brother, this is the last time I'll call you brother." Chen Zhengye grabbed Chen Zhengyi's hand, using all his strength: "You can kill me, but spare my son, he..."
At this point, Chen Zhengye spat out a mouthful of blood, then his eyes widened, and he fell straight to the ground, dead.
“Second brother…” Chen Zhengyi’s hand trembled as he checked Chen Zhengye’s breath. Chen Zhengye was already dead.
Just then, the villa door was violently kicked open, and a group of people rushed in.
The man in the lead was Chen Zhengye's confidant, and the people he led were none other than a group of reporters.
A series of flashes went off, and Chen Zhengyi suddenly realized that his second brother was trying to pin the blame on him.
"Stop! Stop filming! Stop!" Chen Zhengyi roared.
"President Chen, you killed President Chen? He was your brother, how could you be so cruel?" the leader roared.
“Nonsense, he committed suicide…suicide,” Chen Zhengyi said in a deep voice.
"The video has already been released, are you still trying to deny it?"
"Yes, there is a video here. It was filmed by Young Master Chen before he died."
Chen Zhengyi's mind went blank. Before his second brother died, he put his phone on the table to record a video.
Ruthless, truly ruthless.
In the era of social media, the speed of online communication is extremely fast.
In a wealthy family, siblings fight each other for power, and a former war god kills his own brother.
This news will likely spread throughout the streets and alleys of Yanjing in an instant.
The Chen family is not well-known, but a little digging will reveal what kind of family they are.
Regardless of whether he killed the person or not, Chen Wanning will never hand over the Chen family to Chen Zhengyi in the future.
Just as Chen Zhengyi was enraged, a group of police officers rushed in. The lead officer shouted, "Chen Zhengyi, you committed murder, and you are now under arrest."
"I didn't kill him," Chen Zhengyi argued vehemently, but he realized that he had fallen into the trap set by the second brother.
Even if he argues, it will be of no use.
"Guards, take him away." The lead policeman waved his hand, and a group of policemen stepped forward to take him away.
Countless thoughts flashed through Chen Zhengyi's mind in that instant. He suddenly realized that he absolutely could not be arrested, otherwise he would never have a chance to get ahead.
With a flick of his hand, two loud bangs rang out, and several policemen were sent flying.
After all, he was once one of the Five Tiger Generals. With a roar, his body trembled, and an invisible force roared out like a dragon's cry, blasting away all the police officers who were close to him.
"You dare to arrest me?" The police officer in charge was both shocked and furious. He quickly took out his walkie-talkie and requested backup.
Chen Zhengyi flashed forward, and with a whoosh, the policeman collapsed to the ground, his walkie-talkie falling to the floor.
Chen Zhengyi flashed forward, repelling several people, then leaped into the air and disappeared without a trace in a few bounds.
In the following days, the Chen family's affairs quickly topped the headlines of major media outlets, and news of sibling rivalry within a wealthy family dominated the trending topics list.
In the Chen family compound, Chen Wanning angrily slammed the cup in his hand to the ground.
Although he had long been prepared to sacrifice one of his sons, he never expected it to end like this.
Looking at his second son lying in the cold coffin, he trembled slightly.
This was not the ending he wanted. He had considered the possibility that both of them would suffer heavy losses, but he never dreamed that it would be at the cost of his son's life.
"Master, we've mobilized all our resources to find the eldest son. I've also sent people to deal with the police. I believe the eldest son is still in Yanjing." Wu Li hurriedly walked in.
"Find him, at all costs, find that beast." Chen Wanning's eyes were bloodshot.
Having been in charge of the Chen family for decades, he had never been so shocked and moved.
He said he would choose the most capable son as the head of the family, even if it meant sacrificing another.
But when it actually happened and the facts were laid bare before him, he couldn't accept them.
“Yes, the old master has already received the news.” Wu Li hesitated for a moment: “He is very angry because… he has always favored the second young master.”
“I’ll find a way to appease him.” Chen Wanning composed himself and said coldly, “The more critical the moment, the more important it is to prevent chaos within the family, Wu Li.”
"Yes." Wu Li bowed.
"I don't want to hear any rumors about the Chen family, nor do I want any gossip to spread. Anyone who dares to talk about these things will be killed without mercy," Chen Wanning shouted.
His son died, and he has not yet fully recovered from the grief of losing his son.
Moreover, he didn't want to hear any rumors about the Chen family, and he needed to be even stricter at times like these.
"Understood." Wu Li nodded slightly, then turned and hurriedly left.
Chen Wanning walked to the coffin. He reached out his trembling hand, wanting to touch his second son, but then he withdrew his hand.
He clenched his fists tightly and let out an angry roar.
All of this was because he gave Chen Zhengyi too much power. If it weren't for that, even if the brothers turned against each other, they wouldn't have ended up killing each other.
Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.
He had always thought that he would let the two brothers fight to the death so that he could find the most suitable person to take over, but he never expected that when he actually lost one of his sons, he would feel such pain in his heart.
