"Dad, you are still praising him at this point?" Jiang Zhuliu said in a dissatisfied tone. If Jiang Zhuliu were to rank the most hated people in his heart, the first one would definitely be Fang Yan, the second one would be Fang Yan, and the third one would still be Fang Yan. There was only one name in the top ten: Fang Yan.
Today was his wedding day, but it was ruined by that hateful guy. The wedding was not completed, the guests left, and the bride left too.
Which woman doesn’t want a beautiful and unforgettable wedding? This wedding was indeed unforgettable and would appear in every nightmare.
Which parent doesn't want their children to be happy and harmonious? If they were humiliated like this on their wedding day, the family must be very disappointed, right
Fang Yan was the opponent he wanted to get rid of the most at this moment, because no man could endure such humiliation.
Jiang Longtan smoked the cigarette in his hand seriously, not caring about his son's attitude towards Fang Yan, and said: "Fang Yan was very smart before, but he was just smart. He only knew how to passively counterattack, but never knew how to take the initiative to attack - he was very skilled, but his character was weak. Or he was kind-hearted - he could even forgive Chaoge for using him. Liu Shu wanted to kill him, but didn't he let Liu Shu live?"
"That doesn't mean he's kind-----" Jiang Zhuliu didn't want to hear anyone say a good word about Fang Yan. Not even his own father. "He's just weak-willed and afraid of taking responsibility."
"You can say that." Jiang Longtan did not refute his son's words this time. "Father died tragically in front of the door, Yanziwu mourned for three years. It seems that he has figured out a lot of things in these three years, and his personality has changed a lot. He knows how to take the initiative, and if he doesn't move, it's fine. If he moves, he will kill."
"Who are you killing?" Jiang Zhuliu said viciously. "He accused us of kidnapping Lu Chaoge. What evidence does he have? If he can't produce any evidence, why should others believe him?"
"Is there really no one who believes it?" Jiang Longtan asked back, staring into his son's eyes.
Jiang Zhuliu had been afraid of his father since he was a child. He was not used to looking into his father's eyes at such a close distance. He turned around, took a puff of his cigarette, and said, "Even if a small number of people believe it, the Jiang family's reputation will only be affected a little bit------"
"Do you really think that only a small number of people will believe it?" Jiang Longtan was not satisfied with his son's answer and asked again.
"No one listened to Fang Yan, but that old dog Liu Tong stabbed us too deeply..." Jiang Zhuliu became furious. "If he hadn't come forward to testify against us, how could we have fallen into such a difficult situation?"
"This is all planned by Fang Yan." Jiang Longtan smiled grimly and said, "From today on, the Jiang family will be infamous."
"Dad-----" Jiang Zhuliu was unwilling to admit what his father said.
"This is the truth. That guy was too ruthless and too accurate in his attack. Do you think he really came to take Lu Chaoge away? He came to take away the dignity and face of our Jiang family. He wants to destroy our Jiang family's reputation and make it the talk of the town and the laughing stock of the people in Huacheng."
"Haven't you noticed how often he attacks? From the moment he jumped out with an angry face and shouted that I disagreed, he started digging holes one by one to bury us father and son. He said he had evidence on hand, so why didn't he tell it as soon as he showed up? He just wanted some time to publicize the incident of Lu Chaoge's kidnapping, to recount the cause and effect of the incident in front of everyone in the audience - he was building momentum for himself and Lu Chaoge, so that everyone would automatically make associations in their hearts. Let them subconsciously suspect that we father and son were the murderers who kidnapped Lu Chaoge-----"
Jiang Longtan glanced at his son Jiang Zhuliu and asked, "Have we kidnapped Lu Chaoge?"
"Of course not." Jiang Zhuliu flatly denied. "How could we do such a thing?"
"We know we didn't. Do the guests who came today still believe it? Do those people in Huacheng who didn't come but heard the rumors believe it? I believe that at this moment, this matter has spread to every corner of Huacheng. Whether Lu Chaoge was kidnapped by us or not, it doesn't matter to us now. Because everyone will list us as the first suspect - this is the purpose of that kid coming to mess things up."
"He wants to pull us down from the platform."
"No, he wants to trample us into the ground." Jiang Longtan thought more clearly and cruelly, and said: "So, Liu Tong is here. If he didn't want to defeat our Jiang family, why would he throw out such an important chess piece like Liu Tong at this time? Keep him by my side and let him continuously pass on the information they want - wouldn't this better reflect the value of the chess piece?"
"Tong Liu----why did he betray us? Didn't our Jiang family treat him well enough? We never treated him as a slave, but as a relative-----" When Jiang Zhuliu mentioned Liu Tong, his emotions fluctuated violently.
When he was very young, his father gave him to Liu Tong to take care of and teach him. Apart from his father, Liu Tong was the elder he was closest to and trusted the most. Unexpectedly, when the Jiang family was in the most dangerous time, he was the first to jump out and stab the Jiang family with a knife-----
"What's so hard to understand?" Jiang Longtan shook his head and sighed, somewhat disappointed with his son's reaction. "There is no such thing as loyalty in this world. Loyalty is only because there is not enough leverage for betrayal. You must keep this in mind when you act in the future. There is no one in this world who is worthy of your trust, only some who are worthy of your use."
"I've got it in mind," Jiang Zhuliu said, sounding docile. "I'll never forget the lesson that old dog Liu Tong taught me."
"Liu Tong's blow didn't kill us, and it couldn't kill us. But it left a fatal wound on us-----" Jiang Longtan stepped on the cigarette butt in his hand, rubbed it vigorously, and said: "This is the second blow prepared by Fang Yan. It is also the most fierce and unexpected blow."
Jiang Zhuliu looked puzzled and said, "Since they already have Liu Tong in their hands, why don't they just let Liu Tong produce their so-called evidence? They made such a big fuss and ended it so abruptly? Isn't that too stupid?"
"Because they don't have evidence." Jiang Longtan said. "Because Liu Tong doesn't have evidence that you and I kidnapped Lu Chaoge."
"Then we should keep that old dog Liu Tong here and force him to produce evidence in front of everyone. If he can't produce it, then all suspicion on us will be cleared immediately, right?"
"Can we keep him?" Jiang Longtan smiled bitterly. "Liu Tong has been with you and me for many years. How many secrets does he know? He doesn't have any evidence that we kidnapped Lu Chaoge, but he has a lot of evidence of other things. If we keep him here, he will reveal everything. How can we face such a situation?"
"You mean--"
"This was also planned by Fang Yan." When Jiang Longtan mentioned Fang Yan, a complex smile of hatred and admiration appeared on his face again, and he said: "He knew we couldn't stay, he knew we didn't dare to stay. He threw Liu Tong out to stab us, and Liu Tong's value was just that - he didn't take advantage of the victory, and we could only bear it silently."
"-----Is Fang Yan so smart?" Jiang Zhuliu didn't want to believe it. He would rather believe that it was just a coincidence.
"Zhuliu, can't you see the deep meaning contained in each of these things? If you still don't understand it after coming to this point - you are far from Fang Yan." Jiang Longtan said somewhat sadly.
Who is willing to admit that his son is not as good as others? Who is willing to give up the dignity and pride of a father
But the facts were before his eyes. Even if Jiang Longtan had ten thousand reasons to speak for his son, he could not say that his son was better than Fang Yan.
"He also prepared a third blow for our Jiang family." Jiang Longtan's palm gently stroked the thick red carpet under his buttocks and said, "The first blow destroyed our prestige and made us lose our moral footing. As soon as he appeared, he packaged himself as a righteous and fair party. This is why I fought with him for the right to speak. We can't let them say everything, otherwise we can only be led by them. The second blow destroyed our momentum. He used Liu Tong to disintegrate the reputation and connections that our Jiang family has accumulated for a hundred years."
"Didn't you notice? Except for the Jiang family, no one in the audience stood up to speak for my father and me - because Liu Tong stood up. When Liu Tong stood up, he shut up everyone else. Even the people closest to us were stabbing us in the back. What reason did they have to stand up and speak for us? What reason did they have to fight alongside us?"
"Our prestige was destroyed, and our power was disintegrated. But our spirits were scattered, and our bodies were not. So Fang Yan prepared the final blow for us. The third blow was when Fang Yan left, and Liu Shulan Valley and the others followed him out. Their departure led to the departure of many others, and the situation got out of control."
"Why is our Jiang family known as one of the four major families in Huacheng? It's because some people fear the Jiang family's power and look up to them. A single call will attract many people. However, after Fang Yan stabbed us for the third time, our Jiang family was completely torn apart, and fell to the ground in a very unsightly manner. Even those guys we had never looked at before dared to walk away. What qualifications do we have to be one of the four major families in Huacheng?"
Jiang Longtan smiled bitterly and said, "From today on, the Jiang family will be removed from the list of the four major families in Huacheng." (To be continued)
