Chapter 753: The Wind is About to Rise in Jingcheng

Jingcheng was shaken.

Two direct descendants of the Xiao Family had died on the same day.

In an instant the entire Jingcheng was on high alert.

Many small and medium-sized families strictly forbade their children from going out during this period to avoid running into the Xiao Family’s line of fire and implicating their families.

Because everyone knew Xiao Li wouldn’t let this matter rest.

The Xiao Family’s retaliation would soon unfold. The wind was about to rise in Jingcheng.

At the funeral home.

Two corpses were laid out side by side.

They were the brothers Xiao Ye and Xiao Yan.

Both had their eyes open filled with unwillingness.

Xiao Li silently looked at the two corpses his eyes bloodshot and expressionless. A tear slid from the corner of his eye. His fists clenched at his sides his nails piercing his palms drawing blood.

Xiao Li seemed to feel no pain as his fists clenched tighter. After a while he finally spoke:

“Ye’er Yan’er don’t worry. Dad will definitely avenge you.”

His voice was low and hoarse like iron scraping against glass making one’s scalp tingle.

“Dad I know you’re heartbroken that Big Brother and Second Brother are gone but you still need to take care of yourself. We still need to avenge them.”

Xiao Huang equally grief-stricken spoke to Xiao Li in a hoarse voice as if overcome by excessive sorrow.

On the surface he appeared devastated but inside he was calm and even felt like laughing.

Big Brother oh Big Brother I didn’t expect you to be so impatient to make a move against Second Brother so quickly.

But perhaps this is fate.

You had just killed Second Brother and as soon as you left the hospital you were shot dead by my men.

Sigh it seems even the heavens want me to punish you.

“That person has he confessed?” Xiao Li asked.

The person he referred to was the bodyguard who had killed Xiao Yan at the hospital.

Although he couldn’t imagine this person was arranged by Xiao Ye he also didn’t believe a mere bodyguard would have such courage. So he had Xiao Huang handle the interrogation.

If there was a mastermind behind this they would dig them out. If not they would dismember him and feed him to the dogs.

“He confessed but…” Xiao Huang appeared hesitant as if there was something he was reluctant to say.

Xiao Li raised an eyebrow: “What time is it now? Stop beating around the bush. Speak! Two sons dead in one day what else can’t I bear?”

“Dad I’ll tell you then but please don’t get angry when you hear it. That person said he was just a scapegoat. It was… it was Big Brother who personally killed Second Brother.”

Xiao Huang spoke almost word by word. He had already suspected Xiao Ye might make a move against Xiao Yan so when interrogating the bodyguard he directly told him Xiao Ye was already dead and no one could help him anymore.

Upon hearing this the bodyguard instantly lost all courage to hold out and spilled everything.

“Puff—”

After hearing this Xiao Li felt a sweetness in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Dad Dad are you alright? Dad! Someone come take my dad to the hospital!”

Xiao Huang supported Xiao Li with a panicked expression. At least in terms of acting his performance was impeccable.

“No need. I’m fine.”

Xiao Li raised his hand to stop him took a deep breath and closed his eyes in pain muttering:

“Brothers killing each other brothers killing each other!”

He had never imagined this outcome and felt incredibly pained.

He suddenly felt that Xiao Huang wasn’t so bad.

Although he was a bit of a scoundrel at least he wouldn’t kill his own brother for power and profit.

Mm Xiao Huang certainly wouldn’t kill his own brother for power and profit.

Because he wasn’t interested in the position of family head at all.

But he would harm his own elder brother out of momentary displeasure.

Xiao Huang continued: “Dad we’ve confirmed who killed Big Brother. It was the Deng Family the same group that attacked Second Brother this morning.”

Ah Deng Tianwen Deng Tianwen I should really thank you.

If you hadn’t made a move this morning how could I have so easily pinned this on you?

“Let him die.”

Xiao Li growled through gritted teeth his eyes filled with murderous intent and anger his face twisted with emotion.

“Dad rest assured I will definitely use his head to pay tribute to Big Brother and Second Brother.”

Xiao Huang said firmly.

…

The Deng Tianwen whom the Xiao Family couldn’t stop thinking about was currently with Xu Shaochen.

“Did you do it?” Xu Shaochen asked looking at Deng Tianwen.

Deng Tianwen shook his head in confusion and quickly denied: “I didn’t. It wasn’t me. Don’t make false accusations.”

“My men only went after Xiao Yan and didn’t even kill him. Xiao Ye being shot dead is probably because he offended too many people. It has nothing to do with me.”

“I feel that whether it was you or not the Xiao Family will think it was you. Who told you to have a prior record? Get ready to face the Xiao Family’s crazy retaliation.” Xu Shaochen patted his shoulder sympathetically. Actually he suspected Xiao Huang did it.

He always felt that guy was hiding something deep. Killing his own elder brother was something he might actually do.

Deng Tianwen’s eyes widened: “What do you mean I should face the Xiao Family’s crazy retaliation? Big Brother you can’t stay out of this.”

“Didn’t you say before you wanted to fight the Xiao Family to the death? What are you afraid of? Don’t be a coward just go for it!” Xu Shaochen encouraged him. A real man should charge forward fearlessly.

Deng Tianwen rolled his eyes speechlessly: “Fighting to the death is the worst outcome. If we can avoid it of course it’s better not to.”

“Ring ring ring…”

Suddenly his Phone rang.

“Hello… What? Okay okay okay I got it.”

After hanging up Deng Tianwen’s expression became very serious.

“What’s wrong?” Xu Shaochen asked curiously.

Deng Tianwen looked at him: “That was a call from home. The Zhao Family has declared war on us. It’s a suicide attack. They’ve shut down all their businesses.”

“Is this… taking advantage of the fire to loot?” Xu Shaochen frowned.

Deng Tianwen shook his head: “If it were just taking advantage of the situation it would be fine. But now someone is behind this. My people learned from that coward Zhao Fei that Xiao Huang is directing this from behind. The Zhao Family was built up by Xiao Huang.”

“Now I’m certain you’re taking the fall for Xiao Huang. Xiao Ye’s death must have been his doing.”

After hearing this Xu Shaochen wasn’t very surprised. After all he had long suspected Xiao Huang was an actor. Deng Tianwen’s news just confirmed his guess.

“What do we do now? Damn that old schemer. Not only is he ruthless he’s so cunning.”

Deng Tianwen gritted his teeth in hatred but in his heart he felt more dread and fear.

“I’m going out for a bit. Be careful yourself.”

With that Xu Shaochen stood up and quickly walked out of the hospital room.

“Hey where are you going…”

Deng Tianwen hurriedly called out.

“To deal with Xiao Huang.”

Xu Shaochen replied without looking back.

Deng Tianwen pursed his lips. “You think this is a game? It’s not that easy to deal with him.”
