"Dad, you're still praising him at this point?" Jiang Zhuliu said in a dissatisfied tone. If Jiang Zhuliu had to make a list of the people he hated the most, the first would be Fang Yan, the second would be Fang Yan, and the third would still be Fang Yan. There was only one name in the top ten: Fang Yan.
Today was his wedding day, and it was ruined by that hateful guy. The wedding wasn't finished. The guests left, and the bride left.
Which woman didn't want a beautiful and unforgettable wedding? This wedding was indeed unforgettable, and it would appear in every nightmare.
Which parent didn't want their children to be happy and beautiful? The Jiang family must be very disappointed to be humiliated like this on their wedding day, right?
Fang Yan was the opponent he wanted to get rid of the most at this moment. Because no man could endure such humiliation.
Kiang Long Tan smoked the cigarette in his hand seriously, not caring about his son's attitude toward Fang Yan. He said, "Fang Yan used to be very smart, but that's all. He only knew how to counterattack, but he never knew how to take the initiative — he was strong, but he was weak. Or rather, he was kind — he could even forgive Chaoge for using him. Liu Shu wanted to kill him, but didn't he let Liu Shu live? "
"You can't say 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 and afraid to take responsibility."
"You can say that." Kiang Long Tan didn't refute his son's words this time. "Father died a tragic death in front of his house, and he mourned for three years at Swallow Dock — it seems that he's understood a lot of things in the past three years, and his personality has changed a lot. He knows how to take the initiative, and — it's fine when he doesn't move, but when he does, it'll kill. "
"Kill who?" Jiang Zhuliu said fiercely. "He accused us of kidnapping Lu Chaoge, but what evidence does he have? If he can't, why should others believe him? "
"Is there really no one who believes it?" Kiang Long Tan stared into his son's eyes and asked.
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 and took a puff of his cigarette. "Even if a small number of people believe it, the Jiang family's reputation will only be affected a little —"
"Do you really think that only a small number of people will believe it?" Kiang Long Tan was not satisfied with his son's answer and asked again.
"No one listens to Fang Yan's words, but that old dog Liu Tong's knife is too deep …" Jiang Zhuliu became flustered and exasperated. "If he didn't jump out to testify against us, how could we be in such a difficult situation?"
"This is all part of Fang Yan's plan," Kiang Long Tan smiled coldly and said, "After today, the Jiang family's reputation will be ruined."
"Dad — —" Jiang Zhuliu was unwilling to admit the truth his father had said.
"This is the truth. That brat was too ruthless and too accurate — — do you really think he came to take Lu Chaoge away? He came to take away our Jiang family's dignity and face. He wants our Jiang family's reputation to be ruined, to become the talk of Huacheng and a laughing stock in their hearts — — "
"Haven't you noticed the frequency of his actions? From the moment he jumped out with a face full of anger and shouted that I didn't agree, he started digging holes and burying us father and son in them. He said he had evidence in his hands, so why didn't he say it the moment he appeared? He just wanted to use some time to spread the news of Lu Chaoge's kidnapping. He wanted to tell the whole story in front of everyone — — he wanted to build momentum for himself and Lu Chaoge, so that everyone would automatically associate it in their hearts. So that they would subconsciously suspect us father and son to be the culprits behind Lu Chaoge's kidnapping — — "
Kiang Long Tan looked at his son, Jiang Zhuliu, and asked, "Did we kidnap Lu Chaoge?"
"Of course not," Jiang Zhuliu denied flatly. "How could we do such a thing?"
"We know we didn't. Do the guests here still believe it? Will the people of Huacheng who didn't come but heard the news believe it? I believe, at this moment, this matter has already spread to every corner of Huacheng, right? Whether Lu Chaoge was kidnapped by us or not, it is no longer important to us now. Because, everyone will see us as the number one suspect — — this is the reason why that brat came here to cause trouble. "
"He wanted to pull us down from the high platform."
"No, he wanted to step us into the mud," Kiang Long Tan's thoughts were clearer and crueler, and he said, "So, Liu Tong appeared. If it wasn't to destroy our Jiang family, why would he throw out such an important chess piece like Liu Tong at a time like this? He placed him beside us father and son, so that he could continuously pass on the information they want — — wouldn't this show the value of a chess piece? "
"Liu Tong — — why did he betray us? Didn't our Jiang family treat him well enough? We never treated him like a slave, we treated him like family — — "When Liu Tong was mentioned, Jiang Zhuliu's emotions fluctuated more intensely.
When he was very young, his father handed him over to Liu Tong to take care of and teach him. Other than his father, Liu Tong was his closest and most trusted elder. Unexpectedly, when the Jiang family was in danger, he was the first one to jump out and stab the Jiang family — —
"What's so hard to understand?" Kiang Long Tan shook his head and sighed, a little disappointed with his son's reaction. "There is no such thing as loyalty in this world. Loyalty only comes from the lack of bargaining chips for betrayal. In the future, you must remember this in your heart. In this world, there is no one worthy of your trust, only those who are worthy of being used. "
"I'll remember," Jiang Zhuliu said, as if he was enlightened. "Liu Tong, that old dog, taught me a lesson. I'll never forget it."
"Liu Tong's knife didn't kill us, nor could it kill us. But it left a fatal wound on our bodies — — "Kiang Long Tan stepped on the cigarette butt in his hand and rubbed it forcefully," This was the second knife that Fang Yan prepared. It was also the fiercest and most unexpected knife. "
Jiang Zhuliu looked puzzled, "Since they already have Liu Tong in their hands, why didn't they just ask him to take out their so-called evidence? How could such a show end so hastily after all this talk and no action? Isn't it a little too stupid? "
"Because they don't have evidence," Kiang Long Tan said. "Because Liu Tong doesn't have evidence that you and I kidnapped Lu Chaoge."
"Then we should make that old dog Liu Tong stay and force him to take out the evidence in front of everyone — — If he can't take it out, won't we be cleared of all suspicion?"
"Can he stay?" Kiang Long Tan smiled bitterly. "Liu Tong has been by our side for so many years, how many secrets does he know? He doesn't have evidence that we kidnapped Lu Chaoge, but he has a lot of evidence on other things — — if we make him stay, he will spill everything. How can we face that situation? "
"You mean — —"
"This is also Fang Yan's plan." When Kiang Long Tan mentioned Fang Yan, his face once again showed a complicated smile of hatred and admiration, "He knows we can't stay, he knows we don't dare to. He threw Liu Tong out to stab us, that's the value of the willow tree — — he didn't follow up with another attack, so we can only silently endure it. "
"— — Fang Yan is that smart?" Jiang Zhuliu didn't want to believe it. He was more willing to believe that it was all a coincidence.
"Zhu Liu, don't tell me you can't see the deeper meaning behind each of these events? If you still don't understand after coming this far — — compared to Fang Yan, you are still far behind. "Kiang Long Tan said with some sadness.
Who would want to admit that their son was not as good as someone else? Who would want to give up their father's dignity and pride?
But the facts were laid out in front of him, even if Kiang Long Tan had a million reasons to speak up for his son, he couldn't say that his son was better than Fang Yan.
"He also prepared the third knife for our Jiang Kong." Kiang Long Tan's palm gently stroked the thick red carpet under his butt, "The first knife destroyed our prestige, making us unable to stand on the side of justice. As soon as he appeared, he packaged himself as a righteous and fair party, which is why I fought with him for the right to speak. We can't let them say everything, that way we can only be led by the nose. The second knife destroyed our influence, he used Liu Tong to destroy the reputation and connections that our Jiang family has accumulated for a hundred years. "
"Didn't you notice? Apart from the people of the Jiang family, no one else stood up for us father and son — — because Liu Tong stood up. The moment Liu Tong stepped forward, he silenced everyone else. Even the people closest to us stood up and stabbed us in the back, what reason did they have to stand up for us? What reason did they have to fight alongside us? "
"Our prestige was destroyed, our power was disintegrated. But our spirit was not dispersed. So, Fang Yan prepared the last knife for us. The third knife was when Fang Yan left, Liu Shulan, Gu Gu, and the others also left. Their departure led to the departure of even more people, and in the end, the situation got out of hand. "
"Why is our Jiang family known as one of the four great families of Huacheng? It's because there are people who fear the power of the Jiang family, and look up to the Jiang family. With a shout, people gathered. But, after Fang Yan's third knife stab, our Jiang family, this elephant, was completely dragged down by him, and fell to the ground in a very unsightly manner — — even those people we didn't look at before dared to leave, what right do we have to be one of the four great families of Huacheng? "
Kiang Long Tan's smile was bitter, and also very bitter, "From today onwards, the Jiang family will be removed from the four great families of Huacheng."
