"I, Xiao Wanli, don't need to explain my style of doing things to anyone. Xiao Chen, you are not worthy to question me like this." Xiao Wanli roared. His face was flushed and his hair was messy. He looked no different from a madman.
"Question you? Why should I question you?" Xiao Chen sneered, "Your actions will naturally have consequences. What does it have to do with me?"
"All I know is that you separated me from my biological parents for twenty years. What I did today was nothing more than revenge."
"Revenge, what a revenge! Haha, no matter how you argue, in my eyes, you are still an unfilial son." Xiao Wanli pointed at Xiao Chen with a violent tone.
"I am not from your Xiao family at all, so you don't have to act like an elder."
Xiao Chen laughed and said, "Xiao Wanli, you've already reached the point where everyone deserts you. At this moment, don't you have any regrets at all?"
"I, Xiao Wanli, don't need to explain anything I've done in my life to anyone." Xiao Wanli shouted arrogantly.
"Xiao Chen, you have won now, but I have not lost either. Those things in your hand can't kill me. Just wait for me to come back." Xiao Wanli laughed angrily.
What he said was true. He had been planning in Yanjing for so many years.
Moreover, the great achievements of Old Master Xiao during his lifetime were enough to save his life.
"Yes, maybe you won't die, but the Xiao family no longer exists." Xiao Chen's face had a playful expression.
"Besides, do you really think you can come back?"
"Why, are you really going to kill me?" Xiao Wanli laughed: "You dare not. In terms of blood relationship, I am your grandfather."
"If you kill me, it would be against the laws of nature. Do you dare, Xiao Chen?"
"Kill you?" Xiao Chen's expression showed a hint of pity: "In your opinion, death is the greatest punishment?"
Xiao Chen moved closer to Xiao Wanli and whispered, "No, I want you to live a life worse than death."
"What... do you want to do?" Xiao Wanli was surprised. He turned his head to look at Xiao Chen, his face showing fear, confusion, and bewilderment.
He didn't know how many tricks Xiao Chen had, but when the young man said something that made him live a life worse than death, he had no doubt at all.
Because Xiao Chen is indeed that capable.
"There's someone you'd really like to meet." Xiao Chen smiled. "That's my grandmother, Liang."
"My great grandfather personally arranged a marriage for you to the Liang family, but you married someone from a wealthy family in Yanjing when my grandmother was pregnant with my father."
"She's been sulking for decades and hasn't come to Yanjing. But today, she must be eager to see you at your wit's end."
"Xiao Chen, if you have the guts, kill me, kill me." Xiao Wanli looked miserable.
Yes, he was so arrogant back then that he claimed that Old Lady Liang was not worthy of him.
He also declared that he would live a better life in Yanjing and that one day he would stand at the top of the world.
Time flies, and it seems like more than forty years have passed.
But today, he is like a drowned dog.
He didn't want his old friends to see him like this.
He also couldn't accept Mrs. Liang's mocking look.
Xiao Chen's move was truly heartbreaking, and it was even more painful than killing him.
"Things have come to this point. Do you think it's still up to you?" Xiao Chen laughed.
"Mr. Xiao, it's almost time. We should take him back." At this moment, the investigation team came back.
"Okay, handcuff him." Xiao Chen nodded.
With a click, a pair of handcuffs were put on Xiao Wanli's hands.
Two people, one on the left and one on the right, carried Xiao Wanli and were about to leave.
Xiao Wanli actually felt somewhat relieved in his heart. At least, he was not worried that his current miserable appearance would be seen by the person he once vowed to be with for life.
However, things did not go as planned. Before he even stepped out of the door, a voice came over: "Wait a minute."
Hearing this old but familiar voice, Xiao Wanli's body stiffened and he raised his head with difficulty.
An old lady with snow-white hair and a dragon-headed cane walked into the box with steady steps.
Although she is old, she has a rosy complexion, steady steps, and is as energetic as young people.
And she was none other than Xiao Chen's grandmother, the head of the Liang family in the northwest, Grandma Liang.
"Grandma, you're here." Xiao Chen hurriedly stepped forward and supported his grandmother.
"I just got off the high-speed train and rushed here. The timing is just right." Grandma Liang looked at Xiao Chen with a loving face.
"Child, you are so big now, come here, let grandma touch you."
Grandma Liang looked distressed: "Your father is confused. Why would he risk his life for the Xiao family? The most important thing is his wife and children. This time when I come back, I must teach him a lesson."
"Grandma, it's all over." Xiao Chen said with a smile: "Look, Xiao Wanli is leaving, come and see him off."
"Okay, let's reminisce about the past later." Grandma Liang touched Xiao Chen's head with a smile, and the moment she turned around, her face was already cold.
She walked up to Xiao Wanli and said in a flat voice: "Xiao Wanli, how many years have we not seen each other?"
"It's been more than 40 years, right?" Xiao Wanli closed his eyes.
Now that things have come to this, there is no way to avoid it.
"Can I talk to him for a few minutes?" Grandma Liang looked at the two people from the special investigation team with a smile.
"Sure, Grandma Liang, please feel free to do as you please." The members of the investigation team quickly stepped aside.
They couldn't afford to offend the person in front of them.
"More than forty years? I tell you, it's forty-five years, six months and seven days." Grandma Liang stepped forward, looking imposing.
"Back then, I was pregnant with Gu Cheng and watched you leave in the desert. Forty-five years have passed in a flash."
"At that time, I said that as long as you were alive, I would never leave the Northwest. But my good grandson knocked you off the altar, so I had to come and see and help out."
"Did you come here just to laugh at me?" Xiao Wanli looked miserable.
"To see you make a fool of yourself? Do you deserve it?" Grandma Liang tapped her cane on the ground. "I came to see you, an ungrateful, profit-seeking hypocrite."
"What will be the end of it in the end?"
"Haha, as expected, the heavens will not let you down. The more glorious you left, the more miserable your fall is now."
"Yes, yes, yes, I fell badly, but I don't regret it." Xiao Wanli roared.
"At least I have had these glorious decades. Even if I die now, it's worth it."
"You want to die? Do you have the nerve to go see the old man?" Grandma Liang stretched out the dragon-headed cane in her hand and said, "This cane was given to me by the old man himself."
"This is the symbol of the Xiao family. Only the mistress who is recognized by the ancestors of the Xiao family is qualified to inherit it."
"Although I have severed all ties with you, the Xiao family's dragon head staff represents the rules of the Xiao family."
