âI heard that the main forces of that military district were formed by his old father who had climbed over mountains and dodged artillery shells in the rear base during the war of resistance. This is only the second generation of leaders, their military spirit would obviously belong to their family and itâs normal for the troops to listen to the Liang family. Why are you all so fussy?â Yang Chen simply skimmed through the report and said casually.
âHmmph, what do you know about it!? Do you know what kind of chain reaction this would cause?! Not to mention that the people of the five provinces will be panicked, if we allow him to continue acting like this, the other military districts, especially the ones from the Northwest region, follow the parade, how can the image of the central government be preserved!? Who should the people in this country listen to!?â One of the generals in the centre yelled in anger.
Yang Chen stuffed the rest of the bun into his mouth and chewed as he asked Yang Gongming, âOld man⊠You were saying⊠Is this really such a big problem?â
Yang Gongming closed his eyes and fell into deep thoughts, âGeneral Liu has a point. Liang Shengchuan has been dominating in the south for decades with his father Liang Bochengâs identity as the army builder and he never had the heart to actually compromise. Initially after two more generations, when the older batch of the military and their descendants die, the troops will not side the Liang family, but sadly⊠this happened early, heâs gambling.â
âThe Old Marshal is correct, I suggest sending a representative to Guangdong Province immediately to negotiate and test the Liang familyâs limit. Forgive me for being straightforward, your eldest grandson should take responsibility for this matter as well!â General Liu glared at Yang Chen furiously.\nâYou want me to take responsibility?â Yang Chen sneered, âAre you guys asking me to repay them with my life? Or are you asking me to settle this matter?â
âSettle? Are you kidding me? Is this something that can be settled with just a casual statement!? If it isnât because we respect the Yang family and Old Marshall Yang, we wouldâve tied you up and dumped you into prison!â
The other officers agreed as General Liu shouted, they were standing upon justice and didnât bother about the rest.
Yang Chen shrugged, âSince Liang Zhen is dead, might as well send the whole family down to the underworld to accompany him. If thatâs the case, we can even cancel the parade tomorrow, isnât it better?â
A chubby central official sneered, âHaha! What a joke! The Yang family is indeed very prestigious, but not all families will be afraid, do you think the Liang family is easy to deal with? Are you thinking of using the Yang familyâs power to fight a civil war? Letting the Beijing and Jiangnan Military Districts to fight in full force and create a tragedy in China?! If you are thinking of a sudden attack from our side, thatâs even a better joke! Let alone the masters who are secretly guarding, with just the 3000 special forces who have been battling on the border of South Asia all year round, even if you have the ability, do you think you can beat them all at once!?â
The group of officers and generals were all staring at Yang Chen wryly, as if wanting to tie him up and send him to Guangdong Province for assurance. However, they couldnât do anything as Yang Gongming hadnât made the final call.
Li Moshen was drinking his tea without any reaction, just like what Yang Gongming was doing.\nYang Chen didnât bother as he thought that there was no need to explain to these people. Just as he was about to ask the servants to send them off, someone came in from the front hall.
âOld Master, the ladyâs father and brother are here, they seem to have something urgent!â
Yang Gongming twitched his brows, âThe in-laws are here?â
Yang Pojun was also confused, âWhatâs my father and brother-in-law doing here early in the morning?â
Yang Chen who wanted to send the guests away started to think faintly that he had missed something.
Speaking of it, it seemed to be his first time meeting Guo Xuehuaâs father and brother, which was his grandfather and uncle.
âYang Gongming!! Return my grandson!!â
When a rough voice came in from outside, all the officials present shook slightly.
A tall and old man with gray hair walked into the main hall with a flushed face, followed by a middle-aged man which looked extremely similar to him and he seemed to have cried earlier.
Yang Chen heard from Guo Xuehua that his grandfatherâs name was Guo Yi and his uncle Guo Xuelong was Guo Yueâs father.
Yang Gongming was polite to his in-laws and stood up gradually, âOh, why did you say so?â
âStill trying to pretend huh!? Get that unfilial grandson of yours out here now! Ask him to tell you himself how he killed his younger cousin brother! My grandson!!!â Guo Yi shouted furiously.
The rest looked at Yang Chen shockingly at the same time they noticed Guo Yi and Guo Xuelong had black satin on their sleeves.
Guo Yi and his son then saw Yang Chen and their eyes were already on fire with such a glance.
âRight⊠You are Yang Chen huhâŠâ Guo Yi laughed in anger, âThis is my first meeting with you as your grandfather but I didnât expect that the reason behind our meeting to be this. I really admire how the descendants of the Yang family are getting better!â\nYang Chen asked, âYou were saying⊠Guo Yue is dead?â
âHaha! Are you asking us now?! You killed my poor grandson in the car and yet you still dare to ask!?â Guo Yiâs eyes were red.
Yang Pojun had a pale face and his muscles were stiff, âFather-in-law, there must be some misunderstanding in this, Yang Chen has no reason to kill Guo Yue.â
âDo you think my father and I will come all the way here to accuse the Yang family!?â
Guo Xuelong took out his mobile phone from his pocket and showed everyone the picture.
Everyone felt the chills!
On the screen, it was a scene of a tragedy in the car. Guo Yueâs head was shattered by a violent force and his headless body fell on the steering wheel, with blood drenching the car seat.
âThis method of killing is exactly the same as what you did to Liang Zhen that day! Bless the God for letting us find someoneâs fingerprint on the front passenger seat and after analyzing it with the police station computer, it was a match to yours! Itâs exactly the same!!â Guo Xuelong yelled.
Even Yang Chen was confused right now.
My own fingerprint? Exactly the same?!
It was normal for the police station to have his fingerprint information as it wasnât difficult to retrieve and it was necessary to keep it in record. However, he wasnât the one who killed Guo Yue, how did the fingerprint appear in the front seat? He was in the back seat when they came home!
He didnât think that the father and son of the Guo family were trying to frame him in this as there was no benefit to be gained.
Seeing the officers and generals present being terrified and staring at him with anger, he immediately felt that things were out of place.\nHearing that her father and brotherâs arrival, Guo Xuehua came out from the backyard along with Lin Ruoxi and Lanlan. Before they reached the hall, the voices of Guo Yi and his son could be heard.
Guo Xuehua walked up to Guo Xuelong with teary eyes and took over the handphone. Seeing the headless body in the picture, she staggered and was about to faint!
Yang Pojun immediately helped his wife and glared at Yang Chen furiously.
Lin Ruoxi carried Lanlan and stood aside. Knowing that things had gone this far, she could only look at Yang Chen worriedly without being able to do anything.
Guo Xuehua looked at Yang Chen in grief, âSon⊠Tell mother that itâs not true, you didnât kill your cousin brother⊠right?â
Yang Chen nodded without hesitation, âI didnât, I guarantee you.â
âDoes it really prove that you didnât kill Guo Yue!? Do fingerprints deceive people? Isnât the killing method too similar!? Who would smash a personâs head in such a way except you!?â An officer sneered.
Li Moshen finally spoke after being silent for a long time, âEveryone please listen, this matter is extremely strange. You need a reason to kill somebody, even more to kill a cousin. Thereâs only a fingerprint as proof, but what would his motive be for killing Guo Yue? I suppose Yang Chen and Guo Yue didnât have any great hatred when they were alive, no?â
âPatriarch Li, do you think that I am such an unreasonable person!? Iâve thought about his possible motives before coming here,â Guo Yi said in pain, âIâve got information about the few young gentlemen going to a nightclub named Pink Lady yesterday. The guards there proved that my grandson Guo Yue had a fight over the part time waitress Wu Xiaoli with this bastard Yang Chen.â\n\n<!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->
