"You...you..."
Xia Zhonghai's voice trembled. Faced with Wu Tian's overwhelming momentum, he was so shocked that his words were broken, as if he were in an unbelievable dream.
The figure that vanished eight years ago has returned in such an astonishing manner.
His heart was filled with indescribable doubt and shock.
Xia Xue took a deep breath, her voice filled with determination and pride: "Second Uncle, Brother Tian's power is beyond imagination, but he is by no means an enemy of the Xia family. On the contrary, he is our strongest ally. He not only removed Qin Weishan, this poisonous thorn, by his own strength, but also uprooted the entire Qin family's power. From now on, the Qin family will never suppress our Xia family again."
When this matter was mentioned, Xia Xue's face was filled with pride and glory, because Wu Tian, her partner, was writing a legendary chapter with heroic spirit.
Upon hearing this, the Xia family members exchanged bewildered glances, their astonishment mixed with disbelief.
"Dad, don't believe them so easily!"
Xia Jian interrupted abruptly, his voice filled with anxiety, "The Qin family is deeply rooted and powerful. How can their complex background be easily shaken? Beware of false words, lest you bring trouble upon yourselves and put the Xia family in a state of utter ruin."
Xia Jian's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Xia Zhonghai's head, jolting him awake.
Yes, the Qin family's power and the undercurrents behind it make them a bottom line that can't be easily crossed.
He sighed deeply and said earnestly, "Xue'er, even though your parents are gone and you are married, the Xia family will always be your safe haven. But please think of the safety of your family and don't let a moment's words push the Xia family to the brink of the abyss."
He originally planned to use Xia Xue as bait to secure a corner of peace for the Xia family and then hand her over to the Qin family.
However, after witnessing Wu Tian's extraordinary skills, he suddenly realized that even if the entire Xia family came out, they could not shake Wu Tian.
Thus, the strategy quietly changed.
Xia Xue spoke earnestly, striving to prove her innocence: "Second Uncle, I have said the truth. If you have any doubts, you can investigate for yourself..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xia Zhonghai interrupted him sternly: "No need for further words. Your grandmother is in her bedroom on the second floor. Go and visit her immediately, and then leave on your own. Don't let the Xia family suffer any more trouble."
Seeing that Xia Zhonghai did not believe her, Xia Xue sighed softly and hurried into the magnificent villa of the Xia family.
Watching Xia Xue and Wu Tian's retreating figures, Li Fengjiao was furious and scolded, "Xia Zhonghai, you coward! Your wife and son have been beaten, but you don't dare to utter a word, and you even invited them into your home..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xia Zhonghai shouted at him, "Shut up! What do you know? Wu Tian is ruthless. Even if the entire Xia family were to fight him, they couldn't defeat him. The only way is to outsmart him."
He then turned to Xia Jian, a sly glint in his eyes: "Jian'er, quickly contact Young Master Qin and tell him that Xia Xue is here, and have him come to pick her up in person."
Upon hearing this, Xia Jian's eyes flashed with joy, and he flattered, "Father is brilliant. This move not only pleases the Qin family but also ensures the safety of my Xia family."
Xia Zhonghai shook his head slightly and added, "This is only the first step. When Young Master Qin arrives, the injuries to you and your child will be the best bargaining chip for seeking credit and rewards."
Xia Jian suddenly realized that the beating he had just received was worthwhile, and he even felt that he hadn't been hurt enough.
He smiled coldly, secretly thinking, "Wu Tian, your end is near. Young Master Qin will make sure you have no way to escape and die without a burial place."
He couldn't wait to dial Qin Weishan's number.
However, all I heard on the other end of the phone was a cold busy tone.
This happened several times in a row.
Xia Zhonghai frowned, secretly wondering, "The Qin family, could it be..."
"Impossible!" Xia Jian said decisively. The Qin family wielded immense power; how could Wu Tian possibly deal with them?
He quickly dialed another number, which belonged to a wealthy young man who had a close relationship with Qin Weishan.
"Young Master Qin is dead, the Qin family no longer exists!"
The other party's words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving the Xia family members speechless and their jaws nearly dropping in shock.
"So, what Xia Xue said was true."
Xia Zhonghai's voice trembled, and an indescribable fear welled up in his heart.
Wu Tian, single-handedly, overthrew the powerful Qin family; such a feat is unbelievable.
"No! That's absolutely impossible!"
Xia Jian continued to resist stubbornly, making several phone calls, but the responses he received were all the same, cruel and cold.
In his final moments, he opened a mobile website, and the news from Linhai caught his eye.
The headline news was that Qin Weishan had fallen in the black market and the Qin family had been reduced to ashes.
At that moment, all his wishful thinking vanished, and he had to face the harsh reality.
After years of planning, all he wanted was to climb up the towering tree of Qinwei Mountain and become a trendsetter in Linhai.
Now, all hope has vanished with the passing of Qin Weishan.
What troubled him even more was that Qin Weishan was gone, and the Qin family was gone. Who would avenge him against Wu Tian?
However, Xia Zhonghai's mood was quite the opposite; he was beaming with joy, as if the clouds had parted and the sun was shining through.
With the Qin family, that towering obstacle in front of them, now fallen, the Xia family's path ahead has become clear and smooth.
Moreover, Wu Tian is exceptionally capable. If the Xia family can gain his assistance, they will surely be able to soar to new heights.
His words were as cold as iron as he earnestly warned Li Fengjiao: "No matter what dissatisfaction or anger you have in your heart, never make an enemy of Wu Tian. The Qin family is no match for him, let alone our Xia family. If we can get his help, we can make our family soar to new heights."
Upon hearing this, Li Fengjiao's eyes widened in anger, her heart filled with humiliation. When had she ever suffered such disgrace?
