Chapter 1461: Scared Out of Their Wits!
Everyone’s gaze immediately followed the sound and looked ahead, and indeed, they saw a heavy convoy of large vehicles driving on the road ahead.
Several large trailers were pulling back eight off-road vehicles worth over twenty million, and they were loaded with dead bodies!
Xiang Yunshan’s face was ashen, and he immediately strode forward.
The Xiang family members also followed suit.
Soon, the convoy stopped just a few meters away from the crowd.
From the leading trailer, Xiang Tiandong descended in a distraught manner, his legs almost giving way as he hit the ground. With a mournful face, he said, "Grandpa, Dad, I’m back..."
"What on earth is going on? You better make it clear!" Xiang Yunshan gritted his teeth and said coldly.
"Exactly! Tiandong, you must explain!" Xiang Cen sneered, cutting in, "The foolish thing you did really infuriated your grandfather. He had such high expectations for you, and you’ve truly embarrassed him!"
How could Xiang Tiandong know of his second uncle’s malicious intent at this moment? He fell to his knees in front of Xiang Yunshan, eyes red from crying, and said, "Grandpa, your grandson is unfilial, your grandson is inept, he messed up everything..."
Xiang Yunshan closed his eyes, unmoved.
Before this, Xiang Tiandong was indeed the grandson he loved most dearly.
But now, with Xiang Tiandong causing such misfortune outside the family, he couldn’t bring himself to be biased.
"Tiandong, get up and speak! Tell your grandpa everything you experienced in Jiangdong, truthfully and completely!"
At the crucial moment, Xiang Lun, still caring for his son, hurried forward to lift Xiang Tiandong from the ground, giving him a look.
At this moment, Xiang Tiandong was still in a state of emotional despondency and defeat: "Dad, I’ve already told you the detailed account, haven’t I? You didn’t explain to Grandpa?"
"I did, but he doesn’t believe it, he thinks you’re exaggerating," Xiang Lun hinted meaningfully.
Beside them, Xiang Yunshan coldly interrupted their conversation, "Tiandong, are you saying it’s completely true? That even Ding Feng and twenty others together couldn’t take down Jiang Feng, and were instead killed by him alone?"
"Grandfather, it’s not a matter of being unable to take him down, it’s about having no power to fight him at all! Jiang Feng is unfathomably strong, seemingly invincible; Ding Feng and the others posed hardly any threat, and he killed them all..." Xiang Tiandong said with a bitter face.
"Nonsense!"
At this time, Xiang Cen spoke again, dissatisfied, "Tiandong, your grandfather asked for a thorough account, don’t even think about shirking responsibility! How could someone from a third-rate, insignificant small city like Jiangdong be the kind of powerhouse you’re describing? You might be exaggerating to avoid responsibility, aren’t you?"
"Second Uncle, how dare you belittle Jiang Feng?"
Xiang Yunshan listened to his second uncle’s sarcasm without much concern, but questioning Jiang Feng made him very displeased: "Everything I’ve said is absolutely true, Jiang Feng is truly a monster. Don’t say Ding Feng and others; even if Grandpa personally took action, he might not win!"
"What a disgrace!"
Upon hearing Tiandong say this, Xiang Yunshan burst into fury, yelling angrily!
Xiang Lun was also taken aback, quickly pulling Xiang Tiandong, "Foolish child, how can you talk like this! Your grandfather is the pillar of our family, our strongest presence below the old master, how can you compare Jiang Feng to him? Shut your mouth!"
"Dad, I’m not exaggerating, Jiang Feng truly isn’t easy to deal with! I’ve thought it through on my way back, our Xiang family has suffered severely this time, we must not continue to target Jiang Feng! Otherwise, the Lian family serves as a warning! Please, listen to my advice; as for Duanmu Zhe’s side, I’ll explain..." Xiang Tiandong pleaded, his expression tinged with emotion.
"I told you to shut up, why are you still speaking!!" Xiang Lun scolded, glaring sternly at him!
"Hahaha! Dad! You all saw that, right?" Xiang Cen laughed heartily, more thoroughly this time, "Tiandong has been scared out of his wits, only boosting others while diminishing our own, where’s the spirit of the Xiang family’s sons! If the family head position falls into the hands of this father and son in the future, it’ll be disastrous, scared off by a mere minor character!"
"Second Uncle, your sarcasm towards me doesn’t matter, but I don’t want you pushing Grandpa into making a wrong decision!"
Xiang Tiandong retorted angrily, "This concerns the life and death of the Xiang family, and Jiang Feng made it clear; he’s given our family a chance, we must cherish it! If you don’t believe it, you can go to Binhai yourself and see, if you come back alive I’ll admit defeat, Jiang Feng will beat you senseless!"
"Damned brat, how dare you talk to me, your second uncle, like that?" Xiang Cen glared, seemingly incredulous.
"Who are you calling a brat?"
Xiang Lun’s face turned blue, fists clenched tightly, "Second, you’ve been jumping around today! Is it because I, the eldest, haven’t disciplined you in a while and you’re itching for it?"
"Oh? You’re talking as if I’m afraid of you, besides licking boots and pleasing Dad, what else do you have over me? I’ve long detested your sycophantic face, if you’re willing to teach, come on then!" Xiang Cen’s face was full of disdain as he sneered.
"Damn it, then let’s do it! Today, I’ll straighten out the family discipline and let everyone know the eldest isn’t a pushover, lest people say I lack legitimacy when I take over!!!"
Xiang Lun, having accumulated much anger, finally couldn’t restrain it and erupted, his whole body suddenly exuded a killing aura.
Thus, outside the Xiang family old residence, a rather interesting scene unfolded.
After Xiang Tiandong dejectedly returned from Jiangdong, the pillar of the Xiang family’s second generation and the eldest and second son directly erupted in conflict and got into a physical altercation!
"Everyone stop! Stop!!!"
Xiang Yunshan shouted hysterically, his vision blurred with anger, nearly collapsing.
The people behind him quickly moved forward to support him upon seeing this.
Xiang Lun and Xiang Cen, realizing the situation, also stopped their attacks and went to tend to their father.
"You two... unfilial things, get out! I don’t want to see you now!"
Xiang Yunshan, finally regaining a breath, pointed at the two wayward sons angrily!
His skills were extremely refined, rarely becoming ill; if there was indeed any physical problem, it was undoubtedly caused by the anger from his sons.
"Dad, I..." Xiang Lun tried to explain.
"I told you to leave, didn’t you hear?" Xiang Yunshan gritted his teeth, "Get back home, shut the door and think about your mistakes. Come back when you’ve thought clearly!"
Xiang Lun had no choice but to glare at Xiang Cen one last time, leaving with a bellyful of frustration.
Before leaving, he cast a worried look at his son, remorseful for acting rashly.
Xiang Cen glanced at his defeated elder brother, his mouth curling into a satisfied smile—this was the result he desired. He didn’t expect the Old Master to look at him any more favorably, but as long as his elder brother was equally detested, he was content.
"Dad, I..."
"You leave too!" Xiang Yunshan gritted his teeth and then coldly stared at Xiang Tiandong, pointing, "Tiandong, come with me inside to talk!"
