Tang Dingtian looked at the docunt before him, his face terribly grim.
It was a docunt demanding that he renounce his inheritance and transfer his shares.
Tang Dingtian had not expected that without making a move against them, they would make a move against him first.
"I need to see Xiaoxiao before I sign," Tang Dingtian said cooly, though hatred seethed inside him.
"Big Brother, as soon as you sign this docunt, you will naturally see Xiaoxiao," Tang Dingtian’s cousin, Tang Dingxin, said.
"No! Without seeing Xiaoxiao, I will not sign," Tang Dingtian’s stance was clearly very firm.
He knew what the Old Master’s will entailed; if he signed, it would be tantamount to signing Xiaoxiao’s death sentence.
With his shares in their possession, and after getting rid of Tang Xiaoxiao, their grand plan would be complete.
"Second Brother, why waste words with him? Tang Xiaoxiao has already been buried at sea. Whether he signs this docunt or not, what does it matter? Just get rid of him, and the Tang Family will be ours," Tang Xiaoxiao’s third uncle said.
Hearing his younger brother’s words, Tang Dingxin’s face changed and he said, "Shut up, you fool!"
They had only seen part of the Old Master’s will; the real entirety of it had only been seen by Tang Dingtian and Tang Dingxin.
Old Master Tang’s will was clear: if anything unforeseen happened to Xiaoxiao, his father Tang Dingtian would be the first in line to inherit. If anything happened to Tang Dingtian, then all of the Tang Family’s assets would be donated.
It was for this reason that Tang Dingxin had gone to great lengths to force Tang Dingtian to sign the agreent.
As long as Tang Dingtian signed, even if he and Xiaoxiao both died, they could legitimately inherit everything.
"What did you say! You said Xiaoxiao is dead!" Tang Dingtian heard this and imdiately stood up like an enraged lion.
But as soon as he rose, an elder behind him grabbed him and forced him back into his seat.
The elder behind Tang Dingtian was Tang Dingxin’s assurance when it ca to laying hands on Tang Dingtian.
Just how terrifying this elder’s skills were, Tang Dingxin knew better than anyone.
Now that it had all been laid bare, Tang Dingxin might as well tear off the facade and said, "Big Brother. I advise you to just sign it. Save yourself the pain. Entrust the Tang Family to , and I assure you, it will shine ten tis brighter."
Tang Dingtian took a deep breath, quickly regained his composure, and said coldly, "You’re playing with fire. If you collaborate with the Jin Family, sooner or later they will swallow you whole, leaving nothing, not even the bones."
"Ah!"
Before Tang Dingtian could finish speaking, the elder behind him struck a blow to his shoulder, dislodging Tang Dingtian’s arm.
"Big Brother, why must you? Working with the Jin Family is a win-win situation. Moreover, I have already reached an agreent with the Jin Family. We will share resources, and both our families and the Jin Family will beco true noble families, dominating the entire Songjiang Province and even all of Huaxia," Tang Dingxin said.
Bearing the pain, Tang Dingtian said, "Do you really think there will be resource sharing? Do you think a re agreent can really bind anyone? The Jin Family can do to today what they could do to you tomorrow."
"Crack!"
Before Tang Dingtian could finish speaking, his other arm was also broken by the elder.
Tang Dingxin continued in his persuasive tone, "Big Brother, I advise you not to waste your effort. We will not make your mistakes, it’s because you do not know the tis."
"I think the ones who don’t know the tis are you two animals!" Just then, the door was suddenly kicked open, and Chu Feng walked in with Tang Xiaoxiao and Old Master Tang.
"Xiaoxiao! You’re alive! Dad! You’re okay!"
Seeing Tang Xiaoxiao and his father unhard, Tang Dingtian was filled with excitent.
"Dad!"
Tang Xiaoxiao, seeing her father with his arms broken, was about to rush over, but Chu Feng grabbed her.
"Dad! You... how co you’re okay?" Tang Dingxin stuttered upon seeing his father unhard.
The other people in the room, upon seeing Old Master Tang had no injuries, had their faces dramatically change.
Old Master Tang hadn’t died and was still full of life and vigor, which ant that he still had the final word in the Tang Family.
And with the things they had done, they were probably going to be held accountable.
"Perfect timing! Cut the weeds and eliminate the roots!" The old man behind Tang Dingtian, upon seeing Tang Xiaoxiao and the others, his gaze gradually turned icy.
When Tang Dingxin heard the old man’s words, hesitation flashed in his eyes.
After all, this was his father; he didn’t dare to actually go through with patricide.
Moreover, considering Old Master Tang’s influence in the East River, once this incident was exposed, they would definitely not be able to leave the East River alive. Even if they survived, the Tang Family’s reputation would be destroyed, and the Tang Family would be finished.
That was why they could only allow the old master to die a natural death.
Seeing hesitation in the eyes of his second son, Old Master Tang was truly heartbroken.
The one they wanted to kill was himself, his father, yet his own son was still hesitating.
"Beasts! It’s all because I was too rciful, never dealing with you beast!" Old Master Tan was truly chilled to the heart now.
Hearing his father’s words, a look of resolve appeared in Tang Dingxin’s eyes, and he turned to ask the old man, "Elder Huang, can you make it look like an accident?"
"If you dare to lay a hand on Dad, I’ll never let you go even as a ghost!" Tang Dingtian yelled, about to rise, his eyes bloodshot.
"Bang!"
But before Tang Dingtian could finish, Elder Huang knocked him out with a palm.
"Dad!"
Seeing her father faint, Tang Xiaoxiao again tried to rush forward, but Chu Feng still held her back firmly.
"It’s possible, but they have to keep their mouths shut. Otherwise, I’ll just have to take care of everyone," Elder Huang surveyed the other people in the room.
Everyone swept by Elder Huang’s gaze felt a chill run down their spine.
"Close the door!" Tang Dingxin yelled at his two confidants at the door.
Upon hearing the command, the two confidants imdiately shut the door.
As the door was closed, Old Master Tang’s heart truly sank to the bottom of the valley.
"If they don’t die today, we’ll be the ones facing the reckoning. Think it through everyone, and I will give each of you a knife. If you don’t kill them, then you will be the ones to die," said Tang Dingxin, before he instructed that a knife be given to each person.
This was a threat, but also a bond.
"How did I give birth to such a beast!" Old Master Tang was so furious his face turned pale, devoid of any color.
Now truly mad, Tang Dingxin said, "Dad. You forced this. If you weren’t so biased, always favoring my elder brother, perhaps we wouldn’t have co to this point."
"Young friend, I have brought trouble upon you this ti. I never thought that this beast had gone completely mad," Old Master Tang said, turning to Chu Feng.
Old Master Tang thought that since he had returned, all problems could be resolved, but he didn’t expect that Tang Dingxin had completely lost his mind.
Chu Feng gave a slight smile and said, "No problem, I’ve always helped to the end when I help soone. Besides, a few stinking salted fish and rotten potatoes, I really don’t take them seriously."
