Chapter 371: Disregarding Relatives
The old general seemed to have suddenly realized something at this moment. The wrinkles on his face gradually relaxed and he smiled warmly and kindly.
"So it's you! Grandfather has been thinking about your family all these years, as well as your third uncle's family. I wonder how they are doing and if they are all well."
"I heard that your father has made many remarkable achievements at the border, repeatedly repelling the barbarians and being highly regarded by the Emperor. Grandfather is truly incredibly proud of him!"
Han Chaolin still had an indifferent and distant expression on his face. He was not prepared to talk about family affection with them, and he was not interested in anyone other than the old general.
"My father and third uncle are both well. I accompanied my mother back to Beijing, intending to stay for a while. However, things are unpredictable. I never expected that my second uncle and his family would commit such heinous crimes, leading to their miserable fate of exile."
"Today I specially caught up with the exile team and sent five thousand taels of silver notes to my second uncle as a token of my filial piety."
When the old general heard that his son would receive a banknote, his face was filled with joy.
He also praised, "Good boy, you did a great job!"
Han Chaolin continued, "Grandfather, I'm sure you don't know about the evil deeds Second Uncle has done! I can tell you everything and we can judge for ourselves. How could such a heartless and evil person have emerged from our Han family? He's a complete disgrace to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion."
"If it weren't for the blood relationship, I would find it too irritating to even look at him for a second."
"Among my father's three brothers, only my second uncle received the most instruction from my grandfather. I never expected him to grow up to be so sinister, dirty, and shameless. It seems that spoiling a child is like killing him, which is indeed true..."
Hearing this, the old general's face turned very ugly. He naturally understood that Han Zimo's shady deeds must have been discovered long ago, otherwise he would not have ended up in exile.
But he still had to consider his own face and didn't want Han Chaolin to tell those ugly things in public, so he waved his hand to stop Han Chaolin from continuing.
"Your second uncle was just confused for a moment, which is why he made so many mistakes. Now he has been punished. We are all family, blood is thicker than water, how can there be any deep hatred?"
"As the younger generation in the family, you should stop holding a grudge against your second uncle. Be more open-minded and stop being so petty..."
Han Chaolin just thought that the old general's words were nonsense, which went in one ear and out the other.
At this moment, the middle-aged man who had previously given money to Han Zimo stepped forward and walked into everyone's sight.
He narrowed his eyes, put on the airs of an elder, and accused Han Chaolin in a cold voice.
"Even if the elders have made a thousand mistakes, they are still your elders. It is not your place as a junior to go to your grandfather and criticize them."
"Is this the way your father taught you to conduct yourself? It seems your father only knows how to fight and kill, and has neglected to discipline you!"
Han Chaolin sneered, "Where did you come from, you idiot? How dare you meddle in the affairs of our Duke of the Guard? Are you tired of living?"
Anyway, he didn't know the other party's identity, so he might as well beat him up openly to vent his anger!
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Chaolin rushed to the middle-aged man at lightning speed, slapped him twice in the face, and then kicked him hard in the stomach several times.
Han Chaolin was merciless when he attacked. He beat his opponent so hard that his face was bruised and swollen, with blood flowing from the corners of his mouth. Even two of his front teeth fell out and were scattered on the ground.
The old general was shocked when he saw this scene.
He never expected that Han Chaolin was such a violent and cruel boy. If he disagreed with someone, he would burst out with fists and feet like a storm and hurt people directly.
He is completely heartless.
He never expected that his little grandson would be so unruly and lawless. He completely disregarded his authority as an elder and beat people up right under his nose without hesitation. His cruelty and indifference were simply terrifying.
Han Chaolin stopped only when he saw that the middle-aged man was knocked down and unable to get up.
Many people standing behind the old general were trembling with fear at this moment.
They were frightened by Han Chaolin's ruthless methods and dared not do it again.
Han Chaolin elegantly wiped the blood stains on his hands with a handkerchief, and then threw the handkerchief at the middle-aged man's face with a look of disdain.
It's extremely insulting.
He quickly put on an innocent expression and smiled at the old general.
"Grandfather, where did you find these ignorant and vulgar people? And you even brought them with you?"
"If Grandfather needs help, I, your grandson, will do my duty and find you some respectable people to serve you. Don't bring any random people with you. If people find out, how will the reputation of the Protectorate's Mansion be saved?"
The old general pursed his lips before speaking, "He's also your elder. How could you be so rude to him? You should apologize to him for beating him without knowing the truth."
"Elder? Is he worthy of being called such a vulgar person?"
"Grandfather, are you getting senile? Anyone can climb up to our Protectorate Mansion and become a relative of ours? If this were to get out, people would be laughing their heads off!"
"My father only has three brothers. Where did these people come from?"
"Grandfather, haven't you always said that you're not feeling well and have been traveling to recuperate? You've never even bothered to ask about the affairs of the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion."
"You weren't out there having fun, messing around with some wild woman, and gave birth to this bastard, were you?"
"Grandfather, you are so disrespectful to your elders. It's so disappointing."
Han Chaolin slashed and hit the old general, making his face turn blue and white. It was very exciting.
At this time, the old general finally understood that this grandson was not here to pick him up or visit him, but was just a scoundrel who came to cause trouble on purpose.
Looking at the guards standing in line at the door, ready for action, he didn't dare to say a single harsh word.
The martial arts masters he brought with him have not made any move so far, and they are probably in great danger.
If he continues to confront Han Chaolin now, the only ones who will suffer will be his family.
He is a very practical person and would not seek death when he knows he will suffer losses.
The old general's expression softened instantly, and he began to explain patiently with a flattering tone.
"My grandfather was seriously injured and even had a limp in one leg. That's why he traveled around looking for a miracle healer."
