Hu Tianyong collapsed heavily without any warning. Apart from the eldest son, who vaguely remembered the meaning of the golden toad, everyone else in the Hu family was completely bewildered and had no idea why the usually robust Hu Tianyong would collapse immediately upon seeing it.
Naturally, the blame fell on Xu Ming again. If it weren't for his reckless behavior today, the old master would never have collapsed so easily.
The entire Hu family was shrouded in gloom and oppression. Besides his sons, only Hu Feifan personally served Hu Tianyong.
Hu Tianyong was not unconscious for long, but when he woke up, he was still dazed and silent, looking extremely frightening.
"Grandpa, it's time for your medicine!"
Hu Feifan carefully carried the medicine bowl to Hu Tianyong and watched as Hu Tianyong handed over the concentrated medicine.
Hu Tianyong didn't even glance at it, but simply raised his hand to push the medicine bowl away and shook his head with difficulty.
"Father, please don't be too anxious. We won't let this matter pass so easily. We're going to get justice from Xu Ming!"
"The second master of the Hu family said indignantly."
Upon hearing this, Hu Tianyong slightly raised his head to glance at him, but then blankly turned his gaze back and let out a long sigh.
Seeing his father's expression, Old Master Hu frowned and said, "Father, the golden toad might not be what you think! Perhaps Xu Ming deliberately came to bother you today. You know, Xu Ming knows the most about what happened back then. He's definitely doing this on purpose, just to give us a warning. Don't overthink it and make yourself uneasy. Wouldn't that be falling into someone else's trap?"
Hu Tianyong sat blankly on the bed, barely listening to a word his son said.
Only he knew in his heart that this was definitely not some prank by Xu Ming.
While the secret chamber incident could be attributed to Xu Ming, the golden toad appearing in the ancestral hall was something he absolutely couldn't have done. The toad was incredibly realistic, exactly like the one he had seen and longed for years ago.
The Qin family has returned, come back to seek revenge.
Everyone was confused by what the old man said.
The second brother looked at his older brother with a puzzled expression and asked, "Brother, what are you talking about? Do you know what's going on with that golden toad?"
The old man gave his younger brother a cold look, shook his head slightly, and gestured for him to be quiet.
Hu Tianyong sighed, "What's meant to be will be! After all these years, the Qin family has finally returned!"
At this point, Hu Tianyong revealed an extremely strange smile: "I knew it! How could the Qin family have died so easily! Even a centipede with a hundred legs doesn't fall down easily. How could the once towering Qin family have been wiped out so easily! Good, good! Thirteen years later, they've finally come knocking on our door!"
As he spoke, Hu Tianyong suddenly burst into loud laughter, his voice shrill and filled with a sense of despair.
Hu Feifan looked at Hu Tianyong, who was frowning with worry.
Grandpa is never like this on a normal day. Is he really going to be so angry that he's going to die?
Hu Tianyong's laughter abruptly stopped without warning.
Hu Tianyong coldly swept his gaze over the crowd below and said in a deep voice, "You all remember this: from today onwards, be careful of everyone around you. The Hu family will close its doors to guests from today onwards! We will not receive any outsiders or officials. At the same time, boss, send out all our spies and informants. No matter what, you must find the widow of the Qin family from back then."
Upon hearing his father's words, the old man frowned and said, "Father, we've been searching for the Qin family for many years, but we haven't found a single clue! They're probably all dead by now. This matter today..."
"How could the Qin family have all died out?"
Hu Tianyong let out a low, angry roar, like a lion about to fight, completely silencing his son's words.
"A powerful family like the Qin family will never be wiped out! Even if Qin Meiying is dead, the Qin family will never be extinct! Let me tell you, there is absolutely no one else besides the Qin family who possesses such a golden toad! Go and investigate for me, mobilize everyone in our family to investigate! Find out for me!"
At this point, Hu Tianyong paused, glanced at Hu Feifan, and said coldly, "Start the investigation with Qin Kou'er!"
Hu Feifan was taken aback. He wanted to speak, but Hu Tianyong's gaze was too terrifying, so he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
"Qin Kou'er! Qin Kou'er! Qin Kou'er!"
Hu Tianyong repeated Qin Kou'er's name three times because he firmly believed that among all people, if anyone was closest to the Qin family of yesteryear, it would definitely be Qin Kou'er.
She is so mysterious, her appearance is mysterious, and her background is even more mysterious.
This woman of unknown origin possesses immeasurable wealth. If such a woman is not a match for the Qin family, then he truly doesn't know who is worthy of being a match for them.
Qin Kou'er suddenly sneezed, rubbed her nose, and said to Lan Linxue, "I think someone must be talking about me behind my back, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have sneezed."
Lan Linxue smiled slightly, "I think this person must be Hu Tianyong."
Qin Kou'er thought for a moment, then quietly told Lan Linxue what Qin Meiying had asked her to do, "What do you think Hu Tianyong will think now?"
Lan Linxue was unaware of what Qin Kou'er had done next, and her expression became tense.
Holding Qin Kou'er's hand, Lan Linxue said with utmost seriousness, "Kou'er, I think if I were Hu Tianyong, the first person I would suspect would definitely be you. So, you must be extra careful now. Once Hu Tianyong finds out your true identity, he will definitely retaliate desperately. People will do anything when they are desperate. Especially since you and Hu Tianyong are sworn enemies!"
