Chapter 22 The Mastermind Behind The Scenes



Su Tiande knelt on the ground, looking utterly miserable, while the Su family members gloated, saying, "Hehe, Su Tiande, there's no need to lie anymore. You've been guarding the old master these past few days. Only you had the opportunity to administer the poison, and just now you even forbade Ye Ling from treating the old master. How vicious can your intentions be?"

The crowd sneered, finally finding an opportunity to drive Su Tiande and his daughter out of the Su family, so they would never have a chance to fight for the inheritance again.

At this moment, Ye Ling frowned and said, "No, it's not Su Tiande. This Heart-Devouring Gu is no small matter; only a martial artist who understands Qi Force can use it. Have there been any martial artists visiting the old master lately?"

"Martial artist?" The crowd was startled, then proceeded to slap their foreheads and said, "I remember now, the young master Tian Wen from the Tian family visited yesterday, and he even specifically took the old master's pulse!"

"The Tian family!" Ye Ling's eyes turned cold, and he solemnly said, "If I'm not mistaken, it was the Tian family who poisoned the old master!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Young Master Tian is the son of the noble Tian family, whose character and appearance are top-notch, and you, a worthless person, dare to suspect him?" Su Ya angrily stepped forward, while the Su family members nodded in agreement.

Every time Young Master Tian Wen visited the Su family, he brought generous gifts and treated everyone politely. Such a gentle and refined young nobleman, how could he possibly poison someone?

The crowd shook their heads in unison, and even Su Rou showed a skeptical expression.

Ye Ling helplessly shook his head and sighed, "If you don't believe me, then just wait here. If I'm not wrong, the reason Tian Wen poisoned the old master was to take the opportunity to swallow up the Su family and make the Tian family the number one noble house."

"Ha, you're still slandering. I think you're just jealous of Young Master Tian!" Su Ya sneered, casting a disdainful glance at Ye Ling as if looking at an idiot.

Just then, a rumbling engine sound was heard at the entrance, followed by a bang as the Su family's gate was smashed open by a Land Rover, closely followed by a Maserati luxury imported car.

The two vehicles, ignoring the gatekeeper's attempts to stop them, charged through the yard and blocked the entrance of the hall.

"Who are you people, how dare you block the gate of my Su family? You're being too presumptuous!" The Su family members were enraged, their faces fierce as they rushed out. If not for the fear of the luxury car owners' status, they would have smashed the cars right then.

The two men glanced at the Su family members, then bowed to Tian Wen and announced loudly, "We came to the Su family to notify you that the board has made a decision to appoint Young Master Tian Wen as the chairman of Su Corporation. From now on, all properties of the Su family will be managed by him."

Everyone was shocked, looking at Ye Ling with disbelief and trembling voices, "What Ye Ling said is true. The one who poisoned the old grandfather is indeed Tian Wen; he wants to take over our Su family's properties!"

Overcome with rage, they shouted, disregarding the power of the Tian family, "Tian Wen, don't be too arrogant! Even if the old grandfather is unconscious, our Su family still controls half of the company's shares. You have no right to be the chairman, and we do not recognize any of this!"

"Ha ha, half of the shares?" Tian Wen blinked and mocked Su Tiande and his daughter, "Did you two forget about the time when Su Corporation mortgaged ten percent of its shares to me for a loan?"

Su Tiande's face turned pale as he shouted angrily, "You shameless man, didn't you say that was just for a bank loan?"

"Ha ha, who made you and your daughter such fools? Now I hold that ten percent of the shares, plus some shares of several other directors. I now own fifty percent of Su Corporation's shares, and everything of the Su family is now mine!"

Tian Wen sneered and scanned the crowd, snapping his fingers, "I give you two choices, either serve me and be dogs for the Tian family, or I will have the Su family mansion torn down and all of you thrown out to face the cold winds!"

The members of the Su family shuddered, wailing in despair, "It's over, all the shares of the Su family are in his hands now, our Su family is doomed!"

Unable to contain her anger, Su Rou gritted her teeth and shouted, "Tian Wen, using such despicable means to swindle Su Corporation, aren't you afraid we'll sue you?"

"Sue me?" Tian Wen laughed loudly, pointing towards the direction of the official institutions, "Ha ha, go ahead and sue. Look around at the Six Doors or any major organization, see which one dares to interfere with the Tian family's affairs!"

Su Rou's face turned pale as tears welled up in her eyes.

"The Tian family, you're so arrogant and tyrannical, is there no one who can deal with you?"

Just then, Ye Ling stepped forward and said, "Tian Wen, you must apologize to my wife right now, or else I'll make sure you die without a place to be buried!"

"Make me die without a place to be buried, ha ha!" Tian Wen laughed uproariously, his followers taunting, "You, a son-in-law who married into the family, dare to threaten our young master with such big words? Aren't you afraid the wind will blow your tongue away? Our young master can crush you like an ant with just a flick of his finger!"
