Chapter 426 A disaster occurred in the Xiao family
Xiao Zian had been beaten twice by Xiao Cheng before, and he had already had an emergency reaction from being scared. When he saw Xiao Cheng's men approaching, he subconsciously ran away.
But before he could take two steps, he was kicked to the ground.
He had been frightened by Xiao Cheng's beating, and even in such a miserable state, he dared not speak without thinking again.
He held his head, curled up, and trembled, begging for mercy.
"Don't hit me, don't hit me. I'm the eldest young master of the Xiao family... I won't dare to do it next time, Acheng, I was wrong, Acheng..."
He was halfway through his words when he was grabbed by the collar and slapped loudly. Five blood-red finger marks immediately appeared on his cheek.
Sister Fang let go of his hand, threw him to the ground, shook her numb palms, and sneered, "It's really hilarious. Whose young master is so cowardly?"
"Xiao Cheng! You... are truly lawless. Look everyone, the Xiao family has truly had a scourge. The old man is still lying in bed, and Xiao Cheng can't wait to take the throne. You treat your brother like this, disrespecting your elders and violating human ethics! I am the old man's eldest son, and Zi'an is the eldest grandson. No matter how this family is passed down, it will never be your turn."
When Xiao Zhengqing saw his son being beaten, he was so angry that his voice was shaking.
He began to use family rules to try to suppress Xiao Cheng.
It was the same old rhetoric, Xiao Cheng was already tired of hearing it. He lowered his eyelashes and made no explanation.
He just raised his hand and moved his wrist. Such a small action made everyone present breathe a sigh of relief.
"If I really want to take the throne, wouldn't it be easier to just kill my eldest son and grandson?"
As soon as the words fell, all the members of the Xiao family were stunned, and the corridor suddenly fell silent.
They only knew that Xiao Cheng had the courage to kill people when he was a teenager, but no one had ever truly witnessed his methods.
Regardless of whether this is true or false, these people believe that Xiao Cheng can do it.
Now Xiao Cheng has a lot of wealth in North America, and he might become the next head of the Xiao family.
Once the balance in one's heart tilts towards interests, it will naturally lean towards Xiao Cheng.
The older members of the family looked at each other and took the lead in taking a few steps back.
Xiao Cheng's face was grim as he glanced at these so-called relatives.
"My dear uncles, the doctor said that the old man needs to rest."
The words were clear enough, meaning that they should leave, so he turned around and slipped away quickly.
As for Xiao Zhengqing and his son, Xiao Cheng placed them under house arrest in the hospital.
Instead of letting them cause trouble outside, it is better to confine them to the hospital and keep them under close watch, which makes it easier to monitor them.
"Big sister, I'll leave this to you."
Xiao Siman also wanted to go to Yi County with Xiao Cheng. No one knew how sad she was that she couldn't see her parents for the last time, but she was not an emotional person. She knew that the most important thing to keep the Xiao family stable right now was to protect the old man.
She had no choice but to nod and agree.
"Sister Fang, the old man has someone guard this place. No one is allowed to approach."
"Don't worry." Sister Fang nodded in response.
After making the arrangements, Xiao Cheng rushed to Yi County without stopping.
Yi County is located in a remote area and is surrounded by mountains. Although the scenery is pleasant, transportation is very inconvenient and it is also a well-known poor county in the local area.
It stands to reason that President Xiao does not need to personally inspect such a small project. However, once this project is completed, it can greatly boost the local economy. The local government attaches great importance to it and plans to make it a local benchmark project and a model for poverty alleviation.
So the local government reported the matter to the higher-level government, which put pressure on them and tried their best to promote cooperation. As a result, Xiao Cheng's father, Xiao Zhengye, had to make the trip in person.
I originally planned to take my wife there just for a vacation, but unexpectedly, an accident happened on the way.
