Xu Jinhuan turned around and said with a smile, "Let me introduce myself. I'm now the leader of the constables, which means I'm in charge of the exile team. From now on, we'll have to get along well~"
Her last sentence was quite meaningful.
After saying that, she left without looking back. She had more important things to do than dealing with the Xu family now.
Xu Tiankuo stared wide-eyed at Xu Jinhuan's retreating figure.
He now wishes he could slap his past self to death. How could he have been so unable to control his mouth? He has now completely offended Xu Jinhuan.
So what about the path of exile that follows...?
Xu Tiankuo felt dizzy just thinking about it, and his body swayed involuntarily.
Xu's mother, who was originally holding Xu's father, was so frightened by these words that she hugged Xu's father even tighter.
"Wenzhong, what do we do? That brat is now the boss here!"
Mr. Xu was already struggling to breathe, and now that someone had grabbed his neck tightly, he couldn't get any fresh air at all.
He struggled to raise his hand, trying to remove the hand on his neck, but when his mother saw his raised hand, she thought he was trying to comfort her and immediately offered her her hand.
Then, she tightly grasped Xu's father's hand, looked at their clasped hands, and said while crying.
"Wenzhong, you need to get better soon, otherwise I really don't know what to do."
After feeling that a hand was missing from his neck, Mr. Xu finally felt a moment of relief and took a few breaths of fresh air.
Before he could relax, Xu's mother finished speaking and hugged Xu's father's neck again, bursting into tears once more.
Mr. Xu rolled his eyes as he was being hugged, but all the strength he had just gathered was exhausted by Mrs. Xu's sudden handshake.
At this moment, he shakily reached out his hand, wanting to fight back, but unfortunately, he was no match for the crying and fussing Xu's mother, and could not shake the hand on his neck at all.
And so, the oxygen in Xu's father's body gradually ran out, just as he was about to pass away.
"Mother, what are you doing?!"
Xu Tiankuo finally came to his senses and saw his father, whose face looked terrible, in his mother's arms. He cried out in panic.
Only then did Mrs. Xu realize what she had just done and quickly let go of her hand.
Xu Tiankuo reached out and checked his father's breath. After not feeling any breath on his fingers, he called out in confusion.
"Father, Father!"
With tears streaming down her face, Xu's mother pounded on Xu's father's chest.
"Xu Wenzhong, how could you go back on your word? You promised to leave after me, how could you leave first? Come back here!"
"Cough cough cough"
After being brutally beaten, Xu's father recovered from his apparent death and began to breathe in fresh air.
"Wenzhong, Wenzhong!" Xu's mother hugged Xu's father with joy, almost making him faint again.
Xu Youyou had just woken up when she saw this chaotic scene.
Compared to facing his mother, who was both crying and laughing, Xu Tiankuo felt safer standing to the side.
Therefore, even though she secretly resented Xu Tiankuo for lying to her, Xu Youyou still went over.
"Second brother, what's going on?" Xu Youyou asked softly, covering her head.
After learning that Xu Jinhuan had become the boss here, Xu Tiankuo felt not only fear and irritability, but also a strong urge to escape.
But it would be difficult for him to escape alone; he would definitely need some external help.
So, when Xu Youyou came over, he quickly explained.
"Youyou, your second brother was confused before. You are a magnanimous person, please don't hold it against me."
Although Xu Youyou harbored resentment in her heart, she smiled and said, "Second brother, I know Xu Jinhuan forced you before, I won't blame you. What exactly happened just now? What happened to Father?"
Xu Tiankuo sighed, his face showing some sadness. "Xu Jinhuan came by just now. She not only injured us, but also tried to kill our whole family."
It was Father who protected us, but Father…
Xu Tiankuo's lies came out of nowhere; he directly pinned the blame for his father's injury on Xu Jinhuan.
A hint of panic flashed in Xu Youyou's eyes. She truly believed Xu Tiankuo's words and was worried that she would be the next victim.
"Second brother, let's go find the constables and tell them about Dad being beaten. We'll also give them some money. They definitely won't let Xu Jinhuan get away with it!"
Xu Youyou had expected to get the other person's agreement, but Xu Tiankuo shook his head, his face full of frustration.
"It's too late, Youyou. I don't know how it happened, but Xu Jinhuan has become the leader of those constables. We can't confront her directly now, or we'll definitely lose."
Xu Youyou was a little annoyed when she heard this. "Then what should we do? We can't just wait to die, can we?"
Xu Tiankuo said with a solemn expression, "Right now, we can only run away. Do you have any way to contact the Fifth Prince?"
Xu Youyou shook her head. The situation was urgent at the time, and they didn't discuss these things.
The current situation made Xu Youyou increasingly anxious. She kept praying that Lei Tingjun would come to save her soon.
Unfortunately, Lei Tingjun could no longer hear the heartfelt cries of his beloved.
He had just received the news and was frantically rushing through the tunnel to the silver mine.
"An Yi, you're not kidding, are you? My huge mine is just going to disappear like that?"
Although Lei Tingjun was on his way, his face showed disbelief.
An Yi nodded to himself. When he received the news, he also thought it was a false rumor, so he went to the mine to take a look.
This realization was alarming; he began to question everything he had learned over the past twenty years…
