The Wealthy Son-in-law Is Back

Shangguan Rui had been in a good mood recently. He was looking forward to the acquisition of the Jade Lake. As long as he swallowed the Jade Lake, the Shangguan family would be able to make up for all the losses they had suffered.    

He walked around the ancestral mansion of Shangguan family with his hands behind his back, as if he was patrolling his territory.    

He believed that as long as this matter was settled, the position of the successor of the family head would belong to him.    

"Why are you all frowning? Why do you have so much bitterness and hatred in your hearts?"    

Shangguan Rui shouted at the group of frightening people, "All of you, be happy for me. Every day, it's like someone has died at home!"    

The servant was scolded and did not dare to refute. He squeezed out a smile and left in a hurry.    

Along the way, everyone had a worried look on their faces. It was as if the Shangguan family was on the verge of collapse, making Shangguan Rui furious!    

It was all Shangguan Xiang's fault. He went to Cloud City to apologize to them in a low voice, but in the end, he was chased back by them.    

After coming back, no one knew what had happened, but they started to investigate the family, causing the Shangguan family to be in a state of panic.    

Since when did the Shangguan family have to rely on others to live their lives?    

Shangguan Rui sneered in his heart.    

When they arrived at the main hall, Shangguan Zhentian sat at the head seat. There were a lot of people standing below him. They were all direct disciples and collateral disciples of the Shangguan family. All of them had fallen out of the hall to be interrogated.    

What was even more ridiculous was that they had even called all the foreign disciples back.    

"All of you, think about it carefully. Have you ever come into contact with the people of Y Province's Cloud City?"    

Shangguan Xiang's gaze swept across everyone like a blade.    

Everyone shook their heads, "Big brother, we don't have any business dealings with the people of Y Province."    

"That's right, it's even more impossible for me to be overseas!"    

Everyone below had helpless expressions. Ever since Zhao Wudi's massacre, they had changed from their arrogant and domineering style to keeping a low profile.    

They were afraid that they would inadvertently offend experts, and even the company's cleaning lady would treat them with respect.    

Shangguan Xiang sighed, and Shangguan Zhentian impatiently waved his hand.    

Everyone left one after another.    

"It has been so long. The Shangguan family has been turned upside down. Nothing has been found out!"    

Shangguan Zhentian said angrily, "If what he said is true, and it is our fault, then why didn't he say it out loud?"    

"That kid must have done it on purpose. He has gone too far."    

"Father, he definitely won't let us go without an arrow. We must have overlooked something!"    

Perhaps it was because of the torturous events that had happened in the past few days, Shangguan Zhentian had become impatient. He was the dignified patriarch of Shangguan family. He had never been put in such a sorry state by a young man. For a moment, his anger rose from the bottom of his heart. "Don't talk about it anymore. At most, we'll just split up. Even if we die, we'll drag him down with us!"    

"I want a bounty. If 100 million isn't enough, then I'll give you 1 billion. If 1 billion isn't enough, then 10 billion. There will always be people who are willing to take risks for money!"    

Shangguan Zhentian only said such words because he was extremely angry.    

Shangguan Xiang frowned and said slowly, "Jin Du first-rate family, Wai family, came to Y Province and offended Chen Mengyao. They were destroyed overnight, and their families were destroyed."    

"Although the Wang family contributed in the middle, we all know the strength of Wang family. It's almost impossible to overthrow the first-rate family!"    

Shangguan Zhentian's pupils shrunk, "You mean it was that kid who did it?"    

" That's right! "    

Shangguan Xiang's eyes revealed a trace of fear. "The upper echelons of Jin City initiated a cleansing operation, and half of the families were affected. Those families that were not clean at the bottom of their butts all abandoned their cars to protect their marshals. I don't think that this is a last-minute idea from the upper echelons of the Jin Capital. It should be someone adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes. It might even be an order from someone..."    

"That's impossible. No matter how powerful he is, how can he affect the people in the Jin Capital? Y Province and Jin Capital are thousands of miles apart. It can't be him!"    

Shangguan Zhentian shook his head repeatedly. He did not believe that Xiao Tian had such great ability.    

"Father, what if it really is him?"    

Shangguan Xiang's eyes flickered. "Xiao Tian is a deserter, but his strength is even stronger than Butler Zhu. From the videos that were circulated, he is at least an existence that has broken through the third chain. Such an expert needs to be a deserter? "    

Shangguan Zhentian did not speak. He was not stupid. On the contrary, he was very astute.    

"You are saying that his identity as a deserter was forged!"    

"Yes!"    

Shangguan Xiang said, [Besides his identity as a deserter, there is no other information that can be found. It is as if this person appeared out of thin air.]"    

"Even we can't find him. We can imagine how powerful his means are. Are we really going to become enemies with such a mysterious and powerful person?"    

"Father, perhaps our so-called head-on confrontation is just a joke in the eyes of the other party. There are still many people in this world that our Shangguan family can't afford to offend!"    

Shangguan Xiang reminded, "A decision is very likely to destroy the family business of our Shangguan family for a hundred years, just like the Wai family!"    

As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Rui, who was listening from the side, could not bear to listen any longer. He strode over and said, "Big brother, I think you have been scared out of your wits by Xiao Tian!"    

"Isn't he just a son-in-law who has some martial arts skills? Do you need to do this?"    

Shangguan Rui's face was full of disdain. "What era is it now? No matter how high your martial arts are, can you still block the bullets of guns?"    

"Give me a gun, and I can turn him into a sieve!"    

Before Shangguan Xiang could say anything, Shangguan Rui turned to look at Shangguan Zhentian, "Father, maybe we thought wrong from the beginning."    

"We can spend a high price to hire some killers who are good at guns. He can block people. Can he block bullets from the dark?"    

"Yes!"    

Shangguan Zhentian was stunned, and then his face showed joy. How could he not think of such a simple thing?    

Even if Xiao Tian really had a great background, so what? Who could find out about them if they secretly found an assassin to assassinate them?    

"Father, you must not!"    

Shangguan Xiang hurriedly stopped him, "These experts have unpredictable abilities. When Butler Zhu was still alive, he once said: Once a martial artist breaks through the third chain, they will be reborn anew. He will be extraordinary and possess abilities that ordinary people cannot hope to achieve."    

"If we can't kill them, what awaits us will be a cruel massacre!"    

Zhao Wudi slashed out a sword Qi across the sky, killing several people with a single sword strike. This scene was still etched in Shangguan Xiang's mind.    

"Enough!"    

Shangguan Rui said angrily, "Are you writing a novel? If you are afraid of death, you can leave Yanjing and go to a place where no one can find you."    

"Shut up!"    

Shangguan Xiang could no longer hold himself back and shouted, "You are bringing the Shangguan family into an irrecoverable land!"    

Seeing the two brothers quarreling, Shangguan Zhentian's expression changed constantly. It was obvious that there was a war going on in his heart.    

On the one hand, he was afraid of Xiao Tian's strength, and on the other hand, he wanted to get rid of Xiao Tian as soon as possible. After all, no one wanted to have a life threatening sword hanging above their heads all the time.    

In the end, his stubborn self-esteem gained the upper hand. He had enough of being so aggrieved and compromising.    

"Alright, all of you stop arguing!"    

Shangguan Zhentian said in a deep voice, "What Xiao Rui said makes sense. If Xiao Tian doesn't die, our Shangguan family will forever be mocked by others. We will never let down the glory of the three noble families!"    

"Father, you have my word!"    

Shangguan Rui was delighted. He looked at Shangguan Xiang provocatively, "As long as Xiao Tian is not the only one who dares to laugh at the Shangguan family, no one else dares to laugh at the Shangguan family!"    

Shangguan Xiang turned pale with fright. He wanted to persuade Shangguan Zhentian, but Shangguan Zhentian did not give him the chance to speak. "Xiao Rui, I will leave this matter to you. Don't disappoint me!"    

"Yes, father!"    

"Xiao Yang, you have worked hard recently. You can leave the country for a period of time. It will not be too late to come back after the domestic affairs are settled!"    

"Father..."    

The old man nodded. "Alright, don't say anymore. It's settled then."    

Shangguan Zhentian waved his hand and called a servant over. "Immediately book a plane ticket to go abroad. We will leave today!"    

The reason he transferred Shangguan Xiang away was because he was afraid that Shangguan Xiang would say something to touch him.    

The most taboo thing to do when doing things was indecisive. As long as Shangguan Xiang left, he could focus on dealing with Xiao Tian.    

Sigh!    

Shangguan Xiang looked up at the sky and heaved a long sigh. Finally, he glared at Shangguan Rui and said, "You are a sinner of Shangguan family!"    

After saying that, he strode away.    

...    

After coming out of the main hall, Shangguan Rui's legs felt weak.    

He never thought that Shangguan Zhentian would really accept his opinion.    

Once Shangguan Xiang left, the power of the family fell into his hands.    

When he finished dealing with Xiao Tian, Shangguan Xiang would come back. There was no place for him in the family anymore.    

While he was happy, he went to the leisure club of Sima family.    

He was a frequent customer here. Every time he came, different old teas would be served to him.    

Shangguan Rui was also happy to come here.    

Once he entered, the welcoming lady at the door had a bright smile on her face.    

"Young Master Rui, you're here!"    

A charming middle-aged woman walked over and held Shangguan Rui's hand naturally.    

"Young Master Rui, I haven't come to take care of my business for a long time."    

His mother smiled and said, "There's a new tea in the shop, one of which is your favorite. I'll arrange it for you right away!"    

Shangguan Rui held her chin and said with a wicked smile, "No, I like Old Time Tea!"    

Of course, his mother understood what Shangguan Rui meant. She quickly said, "Young Master Rui, Jin Tian can't... There's someone in this private room. First Young Master and Second Young Master are receiving guests inside!"    

"What guest? I'm the guest! Today, even if you want to break the heavens, I don't care!"
