Chapter 830: Was It a Young Man Who Came?
Chapter 830: Was It a Young Man Who Came?
"Uncle, how many times do I have to say it? It’s Big Brother who’s deliberately framing me, what more do you want to say?" Huang Shi was also furious now, no longer maintaining the calm tone of before. He was tremendously angry with Huang Yu. If it weren’t for Huang Yu setting this trap, how could he have possibly lost so much money? How could he and his father be pressed so hard by the Huang Family? All of this was Huang Yu’s own doing; he had no one else to blame.
"Huang Shi," still repeated the same thing, "What evidence do you have? Without any evidence, don’t accuse Huang Yu. From yesterday until now, you haven’t produced a shred of proof, just empty accusations. Who would believe the people of the Huang Family could do such a thing?"
Huang Mingtian was no longer as energetic as before. He was determined to insist that Huang Shi had no evidence because only then could he protect his son. The Huang Family’s clan rules treated conspiring with outsiders as an extremely serious crime. If Huang Yu’s guilt were proven, his only fate would be to be expelled and disowned by the family. No one could challenge that, not even if he—as a father—wanted to give his son money to start a business. The Law Enforcement Team of the clan would be watching closely; there was no way to manipulate the situation.
That is to say, at that time, his son, penniless and deprived of everything, would be like a beggar. His son had never suffered like that. How could he—as a father—face this situation? It was for this reason that he was so resolute in defending his son. As long as his son was not expelled from the family, he would do anything as a father.
"Fine! No evidence, right, Uncle? If I really brought in a witness, I’d like to see what you would do!"
Huang Shi was nearly breathless with anger at Huang Mingtian’s words. He was boiling with rage inside. If only he had recorded Catherine speaking at that time, it would have spared so much trouble now. It was precisely because he did not anticipate Huang Mingtian denying everything, which caused him such a big loss. Huang Mingtian stubbornly defended Huang Yu, which was maddening for Huang Shi. Since he returned home yesterday, Huang Mingtian had been standing his ground, making Huang Shi’s heart incredibly frustrated.
He had even considered asking the Boss to testify, but Uncle insisted that the Boss would give a fake testimony to help him, which was not trustworthy. The other members of the family thought the same, which nearly drove Huang Shi to faint. His father, Huang Minghai, knew about the situation and was just as angry as Huang Shi. But without evidence, it was hard to convince others. Even if Huang Minghai wanted to help his son to vent his anger, there was nothing he could do. That was why the stalemate had dragged on.
Last night, he had a thorough talk with his father, and finally, they found a breakthrough in the situation. There were two other people in the room at the time: Catherine’s assistant and the croupier. Only these two could witness what happened in the private room yesterday. So Huang Shi immediately sent people to the international waters to look for the gambling ship, but there was no trace of the ship to be found. Under such circumstances, he and his father had no choice but to start looking for the gambling ship and Catherine’s assistant and the croupier through various connections, but they still turned up with nothing.
This made Huang Shi’s heart incredibly heavy. He really wished the people he had sent out could bring those two here immediately to prove that what he said was all true.
"Alas, how could Huang Yu do such a thing... really digging his own grave."
"Doesn’t everyone know the clan rules? How formidable the Law Enforcement Team is. Huang Yu is really too bold."
"You say the blisters on your feet are from your own walking."
...
Now, the rest of the Huang Family in the hall also no longer believed that Huang Yu was innocent. Although Huang Shi had bought their shares in the family meeting yesterday, he hadn’t done anything too excessive. After all, Huang Shi was still a member of the Huang Family. The Huang Group being led by Huang Shi was not a problem—Lin Feng had provided the funds and did not annex the Huang Group but merely helped Huang Shi consolidate it. In the end, the Huang Group was still Huang Shi’s and still belonged to the Huang Family; they simply no longer had the rights they had before.
But Huang Yu’s case was different. As a member of the Huang Family, he had known from childhood what the clan rules were. He knew that as part of the Huang Family, unity against outsiders was a must at all times. The Huang Family had a rule that absolutely forbade colluding with outsiders to frame a member of the clan. Otherwise, one would be disowned and forever lose any assistance from the Huang Family. Under such strict enforcement, Huang Yu still committed such an act, becoming the common enemy of the entire Huang Family. This was a fundamental problem that could not be treated lightly.
Now, they could only wait for Huang Shi to bring forth evidence that would confirm if Huang Yu had really done what he was accused of. If Huang Yu was indeed guilty as charged, they would not hesitate to support expelling him from the family...
Huang Minghai saw this and could only shake his head and sigh helplessly. As the Clan Leader, he had to be fair and just. It was precisely because of this that Huang Mingtian found a loophole to delay the matter until now. Now, they could only wait for the people they sent to find those two witnesses. Otherwise, there was no knowing how long the delay would last. Only with their testimony could the issue be resolved.
The deadlock continued, with Huang Shi and Huang Mingtian facing off with cold glares...
After an indeterminate amount of time, Huang Shi’s phone suddenly rang. He answered the call directly, and after hanging up, a smile broke out across Huang Shi’s face.
"Uncle, sorry to disappoint you, but I’ve found a witness. No need for half an hour, the croupier and Catherine’s assistant can be here soon. So, can we discuss how to handle Huang Yu now?" Huang Shi said to Huang Mingtian with a smile on his face, finally having vented his breath. The trap that Huang Yu had set before had really hurt him badly. If it weren’t for Boss, both he and his father would have been implicated. How could Huang Shi not seek revenge? And now that he had finally found a witness, the rest was going to be much easier.
"Sigh, let’s talk when the people arrive." Hearing Huang Shi say this, Huang Mingtian knew that the situation was beyond hope. He had done all he could but still couldn’t save his son. There really was nothing he could do now...
...
Half an hour later, Catherine’s assistant and the croupier arrived, recounting the whole story. Everyone in the room finally learned the truth: it really was Huang Yu who colluded with Catherine to set up Huang Shi. At that moment, the Huang Family united and unanimously decided to expel Huang Yu from the family according to family rules. They assigned a person to supervise him, forbidding any family members from providing the slightest help. He was to be left to fend for himself, with the same treatment to be meted out to anyone who became involved!
After hearing this verdict, Huang Mingtian’s expression instantly turned gloomy. He seemed to age ten years in an instant, his eyes lacking the spirit they once held, engulfed by a sense of a hero at the twilight of his life. He knew what his son would face in the future. His son had never suffered any hardship, how could he survive days like that of a beggar...
.......
At noon, the deep blue Ocean Number landed at Hill International Airport. Lin Feng and two women disembarked from the airplane, and as soon as they reached the exit, they were met by Nangong He.
"I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, and finally, you’re here. The Nangong Family is counting on you this time." As soon as Nangong He saw Lin Feng and the two beauties appear at the exit, he hurried over, eagerly shaking Lin Feng’s hand, his face brimming with happiness as he spoke. He knew Lin Feng from the video call with Old Monster last time; he had seen Lin Feng very clearly. Already extremely anxious, seeing Lin Feng finally arrive, how could he not be happy!
To this moment, Old Monster’s words still echoed in his ears. Lin Feng was someone who could even defeat Old Monster, a realm unimaginable for ordinary Cultivators. Now if there was anyone who could be a match for Li Deming, it was only Lin Feng who could possibly be it. Furthermore, Old Monster was so certain that Lin Feng’s help would definitely see the Nangong Family through this crisis, which excited Nangong He the most.
Although he had been ready to welcome Lin Feng long ago, upon seeing him, Nangong He couldn’t help but take an extra look at Lin Feng. The more he saw, the more amazed he became. Lin Feng looked to be only in his early twenties, but who could imagine that Lin Feng was at the same level as Old Monster. This was so unbelievable it defied description. If it hadn’t been for Old Monster’s words, even Nangong He himself wouldn’t have thought Lin Feng could be so powerful. Such unparalleled talent had never appeared in the Cultivation World before!
But Nangong He believed Old Monster’s words without a doubt because Old Monster would never lie to him. Old Monster’s words confirmed that Lin Feng truly was such a transcendent being. In that case, he had to show his sincerity to move Lin Feng and persuade him to help the Nangong Family through their difficulty. With this thought, Nangong He squeezed Lin Feng’s hand tighter, and his smile grew even more radiant...
What!
This... this is the person the Ancestor has been waiting for!
This... this must be a joke, how is this possible!
This young man, how many years old is he? How could he possibly help the Nangong Family against Li Deming!
...
The Elders of the Nangong Family who observed this were all dumbfounded. In their wildest dreams, they had never expected that the one they had waited and hoped for so long would be such a young man. How could this be possible... how could this young man possibly help the Nangong Family against the Li Family? It was simply impossible. No matter how talented, becoming a AAA-level expert was already a long shot, let alone managing to be Li Deming’s rival... it was utterly unthinkable!
