Chu Fan's words were very brief.
After listening, Qin Tianhuo and Qin Zhan were both surprised.
"Do you know where this is? And you're telling me this?"
Qin Tianhuo asked with a chuckle.
Truth be told, he was genuinely surprised by Chu Fan's suggestion.
On Qin family territory, he was trying to incite him to go against the main Qin family?
Only Chu Fan had the courage to say such things and harbor such thoughts.
At the same time, Qin Tianhuo couldn't understand Chu Fan's thinking. Wasn't he afraid that he would immediately report this matter to the main family?
Chu Fan's expression was calm as he said, "Let alone just being here, even if it were at the main Qin family, I would dare to say it!"
"Besides, if I say it, are you going to do exactly as I say one hundred percent?"
"I'm just making a suggestion, understand?"
Qin Tianhuo hummed and said, "This is impossible!"
"Although the collateral branches have always been suppressed by the main family, the main family and the collateral branches are always one family. We can't do something so unfilial."
"And isn't the current state where neither side interferes with the other perfectly fine?"
This thought had just appeared.
Seeing that Qin Tianhuo's ambition was not as great as he had imagined, and that he wouldn't go against the Qin family as he wished, Chu Fan didn't dwell on the matter further. He then said, "Patriarch Qin, I'd also like to inquire about someone. Is it convenient for you to tell me?"
"Who?"
"Qin Tianhu!"
Qin Tianhuo's expression changed slightly. Before he could respond, Chu Fan said, "Don't tell me Patriarch Qin doesn't know this person?"
"If I hadn't investigated, I wouldn't be asking, would I?"
Just like Qin Zhan's reaction when he heard the name, Qin Tianhuo immediately asked, "Do you have a grudge against him?"
On one side was the person responsible for guarding and overseeing the main family, and on the other was a young genius with extraordinary talent.
No matter which side it was, Qin Tianhuo did not wish to offend.
His idea was simple: if the two sides had a grudge, then as a mediator, he would try to resolve it and prevent the matter from escalating.
"No grudge, I just have something I want to ask him!"
Chu Fan bluffed casually. He had already realized that if he told Qin Tianhuo that he intended to kill Qin Tianhu, he would absolutely not reveal Qin Tianhu's whereabouts.
"Big Brother Tianhu went out some time ago and is not at the Qin family!"
"But he should be back soon. I'll notify you when he arrives!"
Qin Tianhuo did not think too much about what Chu Fan wanted to do with Qin Tianhu, because in his understanding, a powerful individual like Chu Fan wouldn't speak without reason.
His main purpose for coming to the Qin family was to find Qin Tianhu.
Since the person was not present, Chu Fan saw no reason to stay any longer and stood up, saying, "Patriarch Qin, I hope you'll remind me when Qin Tianhu returns. If there's nothing else, I'll be taking my leave!"
He's leaving already?
Qin Tianhuo immediately looked troubled.
He had invited Chu Fan here to discuss the matter of him ordering Qin Zhan to kill Qin Hu, to give Qin Tianming an explanation, and to satisfy the rest of the Qin family.
After much discussion, the main point had not been addressed at all.
"Wuming, regarding this matter of Qin Hu, you must give me an explanation!"
Chu Fan's eyebrows twitched, and he retorted, "What kind of explanation do you want?"
"You want me to have him beaten?"
Before Qin Tianhuo could respond, Qin Zhan stood up, his eyes fixed on Qin Tianhuo, and said, "If you make a mistake, you must pay the price. You can't possibly not pay the price just because you're a Qin family member."
"If anyone is not convinced, tell them to come find me, and I will give them an explanation!"
After a pause, Qin Zhan said earnestly, "Tianhuo, you know better than I do the situation of the younger generation in the Qin family. If you continue to indulge their arrogance, how much longer can the Qin family exist?"
"It's about time for a reshuffle!"
Qin Tianhuo fell into deep thought.
As the head of the family, with extensive connections, he was naturally well aware of the current younger generation of the Qin family. Having no worries about food and clothing, and with the Qin family as their backing, they had become increasingly arrogant and idle.
He could also foresee that if this situation continued, the Qin family would disappear from Nanyun City in a short period.
Seeing Qin Tianhuo deep in thought, Qin Zhan gave Chu Fan a look and led him away.
Creeeak...
As the door opened, the Qin family members gathered outside the room all fell silent and looked towards the entrance, eager to know the final outcome.
"Are they leaving?"
"Does the Patriarch have no intention of taking any action?"
Seeing that Chu Fan and Qin Zhan were unharmed and were about to leave the Qin family, the people around them became restless.
Killing a Qin family disciple, no one had ever dared to enter so brazenly and then leave so openly.
According to their expectations, Patriarch Qin Tianhuo would not take any action, allowing the two to leave so easily.
"Qin Zhan, stop right there!"
Qin Tianming, full of resentment, suddenly rushed out from the crowd and blocked their path.
"You killed Little Hu, and now you plan to leave just like that?"
"Have you forgotten that you also have the surname Qin?"
"You're not helping Little Hu, but instead following the orders of an outsider. Are you still a Qin family member?"
Since Patriarch Qin Tianhuo did not intend to provide an explanation, the bereaved Qin Tianming decided to do it himself.
He did not believe that Qin Zhan, being a Qin family member, would dare to lay a hand on him in front of so many people today.
Facing the scolding, Qin Zhan's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he asked, "What, do you want to teach me how to behave?"
He took a step forward, and with a flash of his figure, he was in front of Qin Tianming.
"Your son was wicked, and he bullied others by relying on the Qin family's support. Shouldn't he be punished?"
"You, as a father, don't humbly accept your son's mistakes and instead feel that your son died unjustly?"
"Then I think there's no need for a father like you to live either."
As his words fell, Qin Tianming's throat was grabbed by Qin Zhan, and he was slowly lifted into the air.
The feeling of suffocation made Qin Tianming struggle frantically, but no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't make Qin Zhan let go.
The surrounding crowd did not expect Qin Zhan to actually dare to act, and it seemed as if he was going to kill Qin Tianming. Their expressions were complex, and they wanted to speak but were afraid of becoming the next to be held by Qin Zhan.
"Let me tell you all, since things have come to this point, it's a good time to bring it up."
"From now on, if I find out that anyone is bullying or humiliating outsiders by relying on their Qin family status, then I'm sorry, I'll kill one for one, and two for a pair."
"The Qin family needs valuable people, not trash!"
"Also, if anyone thinks their son is not wrong and comes to me for an explanation like this person, then this is the consequence!"
Crack...
The crisp sound of bones snapping instantly made the scalps of all the Qin family members go numb, and they felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, trembling uncontrollably.
Qin Tianming's wide eyes were filled with disbelief.
He never expected Qin Zhan to actually take a life.
