Chapter 809: ‘Expected Twist!’
The look of complete victory on the Elder's face was a bit disgusting. It wasn't only Tianlong Yun who thought like that, as many people in the crowd did the same.
But at the same time, they all felt that Tianlong Yun had been outwitted this time, and there was no way for him to escape whatever this was.
The Elder had truly prepared as good as he could to deal with him, and it was going to be his loss. It felt like Tianlong Yun had just been set up for good.
But to the disappointment of the Elder and a big part of the crowd, Tianlong Yun didn't seem like he was truly worried about this matter.
In fact, he looked like he was just enjoying a great show, and that something even better was coming up, making a lot of people wonder and curious about how he would escape this.
"Are you sure about that Elder!? Is this your last card!? If you have anything better use them all, otherwise I think you won't be able to say anything later."
"Brat this is my last card for real, and there is no way this rat beast can make a mistake, I have personally raised it, you are gone!"
"Look I don't want to hear excuses later, you better think of this through!"
"Hehehe~! I don't need to think anything, I am sure that you are going down this time!"
The more Tianlong Yun tried to help the Elder out, the more convinced he became of his own ways, and the more did he want to do this.
Well, that was precisely the effect that Tianlong Yun wanted to create, as he kept digging the Elder's pit deeper and deeper.
"Sigh~! Very well then, why don't we put an end to this! Come on, release that little rat beast, and let us see!"
"I don't need you to tell me that!"
With that said the Elder released the rat beast and was looking carefully and expectingly at the little thing, waiting for it to run towards Tianlong Yun.
Tianlong Yun didn't try to hide or do anything for that matter, as he just looked condescendingly at the situation in front of him.
The little rat beast seemed to come a few times around the room without finding anything, but when it reached the door it seemed to have smelled something and went outside.
The Elder was the most shocked person seeing this, as he wasn't able to understand what the hell was going on.
Why would the rat beast leave the room!?
With this, it was as good as Tianlong Yun being proven innocent, which was completely against his plans and ploys.
"Elder you seemed extremely confident in your little mouse, does this prove my innocence!?"
"No, no, it doesn't!"
"Very well then, what else do you have!?"
"I I"
It was clear that there was nothing the Elder could do anymore, but he didn't want to accept he had lost the bet and was forced to comply with the stakes.
The rat best tried to dig up into his stomach!"
Once those words were said a complete silence conquered the whole place, it was just too difficult to keep up with these twists and turns of the event.
People didn't even dare to breathe heavily in fear that they disturbed the deathly silence and earn the rage of the crowd, which were still too engrossed in what they had just heard.
The 7th Elder had actually set out to trap and destroy Tianlong Yun, but it had in actual fact completely cut off all hope for himself, or to be more exact for his 'good' nephew.
At this moment everyone was able to remember that Young Master Tang Feng had been badly injured, and even crippled by the Patriarch of the Family.
If there was someone with the greatest need for herbs and resources to recover was him. Even though Tianlong Yun's recovery was suspicious, there was no trace of evidence on him.
Not only that, but the surefire method that the 7th Elder had claimed, had actually shown his nephew as the culprit.
But there was something more to this, as Young Master Tang Feng should be unable to move around properly, and he didn't have access to the herbs and resources.
Which clearly meant that he had someone else helping him, and who could be there to help him out beside his own father, and grandfather.
At this moment, not only Young Master Tang Feng, but even his father, and this 7th Elder were in the eyes of everyone in the crowd.
The 7th Elder wasn't able to understand just when and where things go wrong, as he had turned from the prosecutor to the criminal.
"What!? How could that be!? 7th Elder's grandson would never do such a thing! Furthermore, he is a cripple, he is still recovering from his injuries unable to stand, it's impossible for him to have done it!"
Right at this moment, Tianlong Yun was barely holding his laughter while he started claiming righteously, and strongly.
While he seemed to be protecting Young Master Tang Feng, he was actually throwing under the bus the people related to him, who didn't want him to stay a cripple.
How could the Family Head not understand Tianlong Yun's meaning and words, as he could only look at this sly fox in great wonder?
This son-in-law of his was just too good! In fact, a bit too much even for his tastes, and even he felt a bit frightened of the future, if he wasn't able to control Tianlong Yun.
But now wasn't the time to get wondered by Tianlong Yun as he had to act. Otherwise, the whole situation would get out of control and the 7th Elder would be pushed to a desperate corner.
Making a small turn where he was, he bowed slightly and said,
"3rd Grandpa I would like for you to fully investigate this matter!"
Then turning back to the crowd he noticed in a strong and solid voice,
"7th Elder is suspended from his position until further notice, his son will be kept under house arrest, while Tang Feng will be taken to the Family dungeon!
The Elder Council will gather up in three days and discuss the punishments, after the investigation, until then disperse!"
The whole crowd needed some time to absorb everything they had witnessed and heard, and they felt that the decision was right.
"WAIT!"
