Tian Zong was momentarily bewildered. What did he mean by whether he could bear it?
Suddenly, he thought of a possibility, took a sharp breath, and asked with a hint of disbelief in his eyes, "You guys did this?"
Yuan Gang smiled and said nothing more.
Tian Zong's whole body felt numb. He truly couldn't believe that they were the ones who had done these things, and he didn't even understand why the other party would do so!
After taking several deep breaths, Tian Zong calmed down and looked at them quietly, asking, "What do you want to do?"
Yuan Gang chuckled, "Do you think a family like this deserves to exist in this world?"
Tian Zong shot up, his eyes filled with shock as he looked at the two men!
He wasn't foolish, nor was he ignorant of worldly affairs. Since they had already made it so clear, it meant they intended to deal with the Tian family!
"Why?"
"There is no 'why'."
Yuan Gang and Tian Zong's eyes met. Tian Zong saw killing intent in Yuan Gang's gaze.
Although he didn't know why they wanted to deal with the Tian family, it wasn't that simple to deal with them.
With its immense influence in Qing City, it was impossible for them to shake the Tian family, because no one could lay a hand on the Tian family.
After a long period of silence, Tian Zong sighed, realizing that he had no desire to stay with this family, as he was not part of its core.
"I can help you, but first, we need to agree on one thing: all the assets under the Tian family's name will be mine."
Ye Longlin looked up at him then, his tone very calm, "You don't have the right to choose."
Tian Zong took a deep look at the two, his gaze complex, clearly not expecting anyone to actually make a move against the Tian family.
He sighed again, "So be it, I'll take you there."
Gu Tongbao smiled then, patting his shoulder, "Isn't that better? You don't have much status in the Tian family anyway, and they don't consider you one of their own. Why keep helping them? Seize this opportunity for yourself."
...
Meanwhile, at the Tian family mansion.
Tian Yi sat in the patriarch's seat, his eyes sweeping across the surroundings, "Everyone, Ye Longlin will be coming to the Tian family this afternoon. I believe you already know that he is the child who was pursued back then and has now returned for revenge. Not only that, but he is also the one who made this move.
He is coming to kill today, and he will not let go of anyone who pursued him back then, so prepare yourselves for battle. Today, it's either he dies or we die."
Someone asked from below, "Patriarch, should we ask the ancestor to intervene?"
Tian Yi nodded slightly, "If this matter cannot be avoided, and his strength is beyond our expectations, I will ask the ancestor to intervene."
He did not tell them that Ancestor Tian Zui had already perished in battle last night.
If this news were to get out, it would surely cause an uproar.
"Who were the people who pursued Ye Longlin and his father back then? Get me the list later."
"Yes, Patriarch."
After completing these tasks, he returned to his small courtyard and walked through it directly to the ancestral hall.
In the ancestral hall was an old man dressed in homespun cloth. This old man had been there for many years. No one knew when he had appeared or who he was. Perhaps in the entire Tian family, the only one who knew his identity was Tian Yi.
"Sir, Ye Longlin is coming today. Your guess back then was correct; he actually didn't die."
In fact, many years ago, this old man had appeared in his vision and told him that one day in the future, Ye Longlin would return, and he would return with great might.
At that time, Tian Yi had just taken over as the patriarch of the Tian family, but he maintained an attitude of "better to believe it than not to believe it" and took him in. He never expected to keep him for so many years.
The old man in homespun cloth slightly opened his eyes, and a faint glint appeared in his cloudy gaze, "So many years have passed, and he is only returning now. This means he has made preparations, or perhaps you are no longer any challenge to him."
Tian Yi was confused, not understanding the old man's meaning, and frowned.
However, he did not speak, so Tian Yi could only leave in disappointment.
After Tian Yi left, the old man narrowed his eyes slightly, a smile appearing on his lips, "It seems my choice to wait for the young master here was correct. Now that he has returned, all those who participated in the pursuit must die."
Who would have thought that the faction within the Ye family that supported Ye Guohui had such a plan? It was truly incredible.
Meanwhile, after having lunch, Tian Zong took Ye Longlin and Yuan Gang to the Tian family.
"Actually, I want to know, did Tian Shishi really do those things, or was she taking the blame for her father?"
Tian Zong had always been curious about this question, and perhaps it was also for his own plans.
After all, he was her son, and if she was truly taking the blame, he would have to consider his own fallback.
Yuan Gang turned to look at Ye Longlin. Seeing that he was closing his eyes to rest, he said softly, "Tian Shishi not only did these things herself but also participated in them. Otherwise, do you think she, with her congenital defect, could stand in public now?"
Tian Zong thought for a moment and nodded. It made sense. He had also seen Tian Shishi lying in bed. Given her condition, she shouldn't have been able to stand up. Yet, she was not only standing but also involved in charity work, which was quite astonishing.
"So she also..."
Yuan Gang nodded.
Tian Zong stopped speaking and drove silently towards the mountain.
As the uncrowned king of Chuan Nan, the Tian family's old mansion occupied an entire mountain peak, covering an area of over 3,000 square meters. It could be said that their entire mountain peak belonged to the Tian family.
At this moment, a group of people stood in the open space in front of the Tian family's main gate, their gazes filled with unprecedented solemnity.
However, just then, a Maybach suddenly drove over and stopped in front of everyone. Tian Zong, who was driving, got out of the driver's seat and respectfully walked to the back to open the door.
But this scene alone provoked the crowd of Tian family members in the open space!
"Tian Zong, you are the CEO of Tian Shi Group. How can you drive for others? You are one of us from the Tian family. Don't you think this is embarrassing us?"
"Exactly. Although we haven't acknowledged you as a member of the Tian family, you still have to follow the rules of the Tian family. Who allowed you to do this? You are embarrassing our Tian family."
"He's just a good-for-nothing, why bother talking to him? He's just like his mother, a cheapskate!"
