Chapter 243: 236: Ruining Xie Liangjiang, Reorganizing KE (Second Update)
“Why did you push him to the top? Why not yourself? I could tolerate being pulled down by you, but the only one who can take over KE has to be you. Xie Jiwen is a waste, he’ll ruin KE.”
Xie Shang appeared unfazed, as if the survival of KE ant nothing to him.
Xie Liangjiang’s alarm bells rang, “Xie Shang, what on earth are you up to?”
He looked at the morial portrait and asked, “Does looking at your younger brother’s morial portrait scare you?”
Xie Liangjiang’s complexion changed drastically, full of astonishnt, “What are you talking about?”
Xie Shang rose from the cushion and faced Xie Liangjiang, wanting to see if there was any hint of remorse, “You killed him and can still live here with peace of mind.”
Xie Liangjiang only showed brief shock before his expression returned to normal, “Who told you that? Wen Changling? She said I killed him?”
Not a trace of regret on his face. From the mont he entered, he hadn’t even glanced at the morial portrait.
The room with the morial portrait was empty, and Xie Shang’s words fell gently, “It was you who pushed your younger brother down.”
“She lied to you.”
Xie Shang repeated, “You killed him.” Even if not for Wen Changling, this debt of life must be settled.
The most striking resemblance between father and son was their eyes. As they locked gazes, there were no flashes of blades, only their conflicting auras silently clashing in the brief silence.
Xie Liangjiang’s eyes were piercing, “You trust her that much?”
“Otherwise, trust you?” Xie Shang called out ‘father,’ a term he hadn’t used for Xie Liangjiang in a long while, “Do you know why I didn’t want to be a lawyer?”
He studied law only to shut up his family. Once back from studying abroad, he took over Ruyi Pawnshop imdiately. Outsiders would say he was inherently rebellious and unruly, claid he was born into a family of law but lacked moral backbone, called him an unteachable scamp, a bad shoot in the elegant bamboo forest.
“At eight years old, you showed
criminal law, and then you turned around and told your client that it’s fine as long as there is no witness. You wonder why Xie Family has a bad shoot,” Xie Shang’s expression was serene as if he had beco numb, “because I am your seed.”
Xie Liangjiang’s face drained of color; even his glasses couldn’t hide the panic in his eyes.
He couldn’t utter a word.
He could argue boldly about Xie Qingze’s death because he felt it trivial; Xie Qingze was his competitor, a mountain that had always overshadowed him since childhood. But Xie Shang was the successor he had high hopes for, the only son he yearned for after losing two children.
“Ji Fu.”
Xie Liangjiang rarely called Xie Shang by his courtesy na, always addressing him by his full na because he believed in strict discipline for boys, and he never used Xie Shang’s nickna, fearing it would spoil him. Xie Shang, too, had kept his distance since he was a child, valuing his uncle the most.
Xie Shang didn’t respond, turned away, and said no more.
The silence didn’t last long as the door was pushed open from the outside, and a group of people entered.
“Mr. Xie Liangjiang.”
It was the judiciary departnt and the police.
“In the Xiaolin Iron and Steel case, you are suspected of deliberately providing false docuntation, obstructing witness testimony, and embezzlent. Please co with us.”
The Xiaolin Iron and Steel case was the one that made Xie Liangjiang famous.
Xie Liangjiang was taken away.
Xie Shang had copied an entire book of Sutras before leaving Xie Qingze’s room to et Xie Jingxian. Xie Jingxian had been bedridden these past few days, not attending the partners’ eting.
Xie Shang entered.
Xie Jingxian asked him, “Are you satisfied now?”
He was silent.
Xie Jingxian just sighed, saying nothing more.
In the KE law firm’s managent, there were cliques. With ng Wenting and Xie Liangjiang “going in,” their henchn were either being investigated or turning into corpses, playing dead.
With two mbers less in the Managent Committee, Xie Jiwen naturally beca the acting director.
