Xiao Yuecheng knelt straight down in front of everyone and said, "So please, father, grant me your wish."
"I'll help you?" Xiao Wanli's breathing became rapid. He stretched out his trembling hand and pointed at Xiao Yuecheng.
"Do you know how much resources the Xiao family has invested in you to get to where you are today?"
"Do you know what the Xiao family will face and what I will face if you leave?"
"You are a man, my son, and the future of the Xiao family. Now you tell me that you disregard all this for a woman?"
"Xiao Yuecheng, I don't have a son like you. It's not too late for you to go back now."
"I know what the Xiao family will face, and I also know what you will face."
Xiao Yuecheng's tone turned serious: "Back then, my eldest brother was too aggressive, and because he was an illegitimate child, you staged this drama, separating the three of them for eighteen years."
"Over the years, you have committed numerous tragic and bloody incidents in order to strengthen the Xiao family."
"I, Xiao Yuecheng, may be your son, but I have a heart of my own. I can't turn a blind eye to the bloody executioner that my father was."
"You, are you going to accuse me?" Xiao Wanli looked at his own son in disbelief.
At this moment, he felt a buzzing in his head.
Xiao Yuecheng not only left like that, he also stabbed himself before leaving.
Is this... really something a biological son could do?
"I have written down everything I know and submitted it to the investigation team." Xiao Yuecheng knelt straight and kowtowed deeply.
"I bow to thank my father for his kindness."
Xiao Wanli's hands and feet were cold. He just watched Xiao Yuecheng kowtow, his face ashen, without saying a word.
"This bow is to thank the Xiao family for raising me."
He knocked down again, and Xiao Yuecheng's head hit the floor with a loud bang.
"With this bow, the love between father and son is severed."
After three bows, Xiao Yuecheng stood up and turned to leave.
"Xiao Yuecheng, you...are you going to sever the father-son relationship with me?" Xiao Wanli's suppressed roar sounded behind him.
"Have you considered the consequences? Are they something you can afford?"
"Since I have made the decision today, I have already considered all the consequences carefully." Xiao Yuecheng said coldly.
"I am severing my father-son relationship with you because you are unfaithful, unfilial, unkind, and unjust."
"You didn't hesitate to abandon the wife that the old man personally arranged for you, because you were attracted by my mother's family background."
"You are obsessed with profit and have committed countless murders. For someone like you, what's wrong with severing the father-son relationship?"
"Don't forget, you are a member of the Xiao family. If I am not doing well, you will not be doing well either." Xiao Wanli trembled.
"I haven't forgotten." Xiao Yuecheng turned around and smiled calmly: "But since I have made this decision, it means that I have thrown away all my utilitarian thoughts."
"From now on, I will live in seclusion in the mountains and fields for the rest of my life, and will never again be concerned with anything."
After Xiao Yuecheng finished speaking, he stopped talking and turned to leave.
His steps became faster and faster, and finally he was jogging.
All the constraints that had weighed on him for years disappeared at this moment.
He was going to see the people he loved, and from now on, no one and nothing could restrain him.
He wants to live for himself and for the one he loves.
With Xiao Yuecheng's departure, Xiao Wanli seemed to have lost all his strength.
He felt dizzy and finally fell to the ground with a thud.
His ears were buzzing, and all other sounds around him were drowned out by the buzzing.
He only saw people around him pointing at him and talking, but he couldn't hear what they were saying.
Today is his 70th birthday party, which should have been his most glorious day.
But he never imagined that on this day, he was abandoned by everyone and had no one around him.
Suddenly, he saw the guests disperse.
Then he saw a man wearing a black suit, wearing the national emblem and with a serious expression walking towards him.
The power of survival brought him back to reality in an instant.
Just as he was being grabbed and taken away by two men in black, he gathered all his strength and pushed the two men away.
"I am the head of the Xiao family, who dares to touch me?"
"Mr. Xiao." A stern-looking man among the men in black took out his ID: "I'm from the Special Investigation Team."
"Recently, someone reported multiple cases involving you, and the evidence is solid, so you must come back with us to investigate these matters thoroughly."
"What qualifications do you have? Don't you know what status my Xiao family has?" Xiao Wanli was already going crazy.
He roared, "You are not qualified to speak to me directly. Let your superior come."
"I don't have a superior. If there is one, it's the government. Your case is extremely serious, so don't resist."
Xiao Wanli was not convinced, but when he saw Xiao Chen's gaze on the side, he could no longer remain calm.
Because Xiao Chen did not hide the contempt in his eyes at all.
"Xiao Chen!" Xiao Wanli looked at Xiao Chen with gritted teeth.
"I'm here." Xiao Chen waved his hand: "Look at you, you are the head of the family after all."
"But what's the difference between you and a deadbeat now? Haha, Xiao Wanli, you have to accept failure."
"You are a well-known person after all. Don't act like a deadbeat, okay?"
"Okay, okay." Xiao Wanli laughed in anger. He shook off the person holding his hand and said, "I'll go with you, but give me a few minutes so I can have a good chat with this guy."
The leader hesitated for a moment and glanced at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Give me five minutes, okay?"
"Okay, everyone, go out and come back in five minutes."
With a wave of his hand, a group of men in black walked out.
Such a large group of people left in a moment.
Only Xiao Chen and Xiao Wanli were left in the room.
Xiao Wanli stared at Xiao Chen, and he suddenly laughed: "Haha, Xiao Chen, you win."
"Yes, I won, but in fact, there was no winner in this duel." Xiao Chen looked up at Xiao Wanli.
"Even if there is any way to have the best of both worlds, I don't want the Xiao family to reach this point."
"But Xiao Wanli, you have done too many bad things."
"Today, I am bringing you down not only because of our personal vendetta, but also because of the countless innocent souls you have killed."
"Who do you think you are? People die every day in this world. Since I am the superior, I have the ability to control the life and death of others."
Xiao Wanli roared: "Those lives are worthless."
"Did the old man and his ancestors shed their blood to win the world, just to support people like you?" Xiao Chen shouted.
"Are your actions worthy of the old man's spirit in heaven?"
"And what is the reason that has caused you to be deserted by everyone? Don't you have any idea?"
