C2243 Stubborn Resistance(4)
Maybe the head of the Xu family really didn't expect things to develop to this point, and he always thought that he and his son had planned the whole thing very carefully and very smoothly. If he was not in a hurry to get the reward, it would be very smooth! Even when his son Xu Jinchen was setting up these tricks, he still felt that these were unnecessary actions. There was no need to prepare these.
However, just as his actions were ruthlessly exposed by Faang Cheng and the others during this full month banquet... He suddenly felt that his son was the smartest child in the world! He actually thought of preparing for the funeral and was already prepared for it! Thus, even if the Bai family discovered his evil actions, they could still escape to a faraway place. To start a new life!
Therefore, even though the matter was mercilessly exposed, his heart was still filled with hope. It was not to the extent of despair! But at this moment, he knew that Xu Jinchen's private army in the Xu Family Garden had already been controlled by Faang Cheng and the others. It was impossible for him to come here to save them anymore. His heart had already turned cold. But then, the ladle suddenly came and said that he had brought his men to the Xu Family. Furthermore, when he discovered what they were hiding in the backyard and cellar, he immediately felt a sense of despair that made him wish he was dead!
Xu Hai was very clear that from this moment on, he was no longer the head of the Xu Family. There was also no longer a family like the Xu Family in the Ten Thousand Divine World. He no longer had any wealth and glory, and what awaited him... was unknown pain and an unbearable life!
"I don't want to do this, and I don't want to do this either..."
He suddenly felt some regret. If he had not agreed to his son's greedy and selfish proposal half a year ago... He had not been blinded by greed. Perhaps... today... He was still the glorious Xu Family Patriarch, and Chen'er was also the eldest young master of the Xu Family. If nothing had changed, then how good would that be!
But... as long as this matter started, there would really be no medicine for regret!
"I... I really regret it..."
"Old master..."
Bai Qing'e had been kneeling by Xu Hai's side the entire time, and the tears on her face had never stopped flowing. At this point, she basically knew what had happened. But... but this entire matter had been completely kept in the dark! She didn't know anything. If it wasn't for the fact that something had happened today, she probably would have been kept in the dark by her husband and son. Or perhaps one day, if the Xu father and son's plot really succeeded, Bai Qinger might not think that it was her husband and son who did it.
The reason why they didn't tell her was probably because the Xu father and son felt that Bai Qinger had a close relationship with their sibling. If she knew about this, it would be impossible for her to hide it! In fact... she might even report this to the Bai family!
"You... How could you do such a stupid thing!? How... how do you want me to..."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Faang Cheng also felt that it was about time to end the matter.
"Zhaowen, take him back to the city patrol team first! On the Xu family's side... don't let them go yet. Interrogate all the people involved in this matter, and then dismiss the rest!"
He instructed Lee Zhaowen. Lee Zhaowen nodded to indicate that he understood. Then, he prepared to leave with the three men from the Xu family.
"Faang Cheng..."
At this moment, Madam Bai, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke.
"Foster Mother, what's wrong?"
Faang Cheng hurriedly asked.
"Qing'e... doesn't seem to be involved in this matter. Then she..."
Bai Qing'e was her husband's only sister, Bai Qingyang. When Bai Qing Yang was alive, he loved his sister dearly. Bai Qing'e didn't know about the great changes that had occurred in the Xu Clan. The Bai Clan couldn't allow Bai Qing'e to wander outside. In fact, she was even implicated by the Xu family's father and son pair!
"That's right, Faang Cheng. It's true that she really doesn't know about this matter. Can you not hold her accountable? Let her... let her stay in our Bai Family!"
Eldest Uncle Bai Qinghui also hurried forward and spoke anxiously. Behind him was the similarly solemn Second Uncle Bai Qingwen. Bai Qinger was their shared younger sister, and their brother-in-law and nephew had made mistakes. He couldn't implicate his younger sister.
"Oh, Foster Mother, Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle. Don't worry, I won't do anything to Aunty! I'll just take her back to the patrol team for a while and ask her a few questions. After that, I'll send Aunty back!"
Faang Cheng said to them with a faint smile.
"Oh, that's good, that's good!"
Hearing Faang Cheng's words, Bai Qinghui nodded his head in relief and heaved a long sigh of relief.
These things were also unexpected. Previously, Madam Bai and Faang Cheng felt that this matter could not be made known to the public. Otherwise, they could not guarantee that Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle would not leak any clues. Letting the Xu family discover the clues ahead of time caused the entire matter to fail! Therefore, they kept it from Bai Qinghui, Bai Qingwen, and the other members of the Bai family and did not inform them in advance. Thus, when the Bai family suddenly found out about this matter today, it still had a huge impact on them!
As the only daughter of the Bai Clan, Bai Qinger had always been a proud daughter of heaven! After joining the Xu family, her life had always been perfect, even though her husband had indeed married a few concubines. However, he had always respected and loved her. His son was also very filial and outstanding. Now... the Xu family actually did such a thing that let down her mother's family. This made her feel awkward and inhumane! The most difficult thing... was none other than her!
Although Bai Qinghui and Bai Qingwen, as brothers, hated the Xu family, it was impossible for them to ignore their younger sister. No matter how difficult it was, so... they would bring Bai Qinger home. As for how they would proceed in the future... That would be a matter of the future! For such a thing to happen, it would probably take a long time for his sister to be truly relieved!
Thus, Lee Zhaowen brought the ladle and gathered all the people involved to one side. He was prepared to bring them back to the city patrol team! Xu Hai's legs were already weak, and he was unable to walk. He was being dragged by two patrol team members. As for Bai Qinger, she had been standing at the side, covering her face and crying! After all, he was her husband, who had been with her for decades. Although she hated him for attacking her own family, however, if she were to truly be ruthless and ignore him, Bai Qing'e would definitely not be able to do so!1
On the other hand, Xu Jinchen was very tsundere. The city patrol team went forward to pull him. However, he remained unmoved. After shaking off the City Patrollers' hands, he got up on his own! Even though he had been reduced to a prisoner, he still maintained his pride and unwillingness! He did not allow anyone to touch him. Lee Zhaowen did not mind. He only waved his hand at the few city guards who were escorting Xu Jinchen. He signaled them to follow behind Xu Jinchen, since he was here anyway. Even if Xu Jinchen had two wings, he wouldn't be able to fly out of his palm!
