Chapter 282: Chapter 282 Who is the Assassin of Old Deng (2)_1

"Old Master Murong, I think you have seen the evidence by now. After seeing it, what are your thoughts?" Xia Yujie held a teacup, took a sip, and then set the cup down. The tea tasted really inferior compared to what they usually drank.

"I’ve seen it, and I’d like to thank Boss Xia for taking our Murong Family so seriously." So seriously that even our Murong Family’s private affairs have been investigated so thoroughly. "But I think this is a matter for our Murong Family, and it’s not within Boss Xia’s jurisdiction, right?" Although Old Master Murong was furious with his eldest son and granddaughter for their actions, it was nonetheless a private family matter. The saying goes, ’don’t wash your dirty linen in public’. Even if he intended to deal with his eldest son’s family, he wouldn’t do it in front of outsiders.

Furthermore. Old Master Murong felt that Xia Yujie was taking too much liberty with their affairs, which really irritated him.

"Hehe, to be honest, I, Xia Yujie, really wouldn’t bother meddling in your Murong Family’s affairs. But unfortunately, your Murong Mengyao really didn’t know her place and caused trouble with one of the most important people in our Dragon Society. Therefore, your Murong Family’s issue has indeed become our Dragon Society’s concern," Xia Yujie idly played with the teacup in his hand as he spoke.

"Hmph, if you, Old Master Murong, don’t give us a satisfactory explanation for this incident, then we don’t recommend handling it ourselves," Liu Yuxiang had less patience than Xia Yujie. In fact, it wasn’t that Xia Yujie had a good temperament, but rather he seldom showed his feelings openly in public.

Moreover, Xia Yujie had just received a call from Situ Xin, who instructed him on the phone that it was time to change the head of the Murong Family.

Old Master Murong’s face turned extremely unsightly after being spoken to in such a manner by Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang. He hadn’t expected his good-for-nothing granddaughter to bring such a huge problem upon him.

"So I should have Murong Mengyao apologize to that person?" Old Master Murong thought that an apology should suffice for a matter between the younger generation.

But this time, Old Master Murong was thinking too simply. Xia Yujie shook his head, "This can’t be resolved with just an apology. Old Master Murong, I won’t beat around the bush, I think it’s time for a new head of the Murong Family."

"What? Xia Yujie, don’t go too far. Moreover, when it concerns our Murong Family, by what right does the Dragon Society intervene?" Murong Tao couldn’t sit still after hearing Xia Yujie suggest a change in their family head. His father had been so angry when he received the information that he talked about kicking him out of the family.

But at the time, he didn’t take it seriously, thinking it was just his father speaking out of anger. Once his father cooled down, everything would be fine.

Yet unexpectedly, Xia Yujie had appeared out of nowhere to complicate matters.

Xia Yujie didn’t take Murong Tao seriously at all; he looked at Old Master Murong, "Old Master Murong, I believe whether our Dragon Society has the right to intervene in your Murong Family’s affairs..." Xia Yujie paused before adding, "Moreover, our Dragon Society is only suggesting you change the person in charge, nothing more. Old Master Murong, please think it over, and notify us when you’ve made a decision." Having said that, Xia Yujie stood up, ready to leave.

"However, Old Master Murong, if you don’t agree, I won’t mind lending you a hand," Liu Yuxiang added.

After Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang left with their group, Murong Tao rushed to Old Master Murong and said, "Dad, that was a moment of folly, I know I was wrong. Please don’t replace me." Murong Tao was truly scared now.

As for Murong Chen, since arriving, he hadn’t figured out what was going on and didn’t understand why his father had urgently called him back. He had no choice but to watch coldly from the sidelines.

"Where is that wretched girl Murong Mengyao?" Old Master Murong’s anger towards his eldest son and granddaughter was beyond words. He couldn’t believe they had done such things, and his eldest granddaughter was especially troubling, having offended someone from the Dragon Society.

No sooner had Old Master Murong finished his sentence than Murong Wanyu and her group walked in. Seeing his daughter, Murong Tao’s anger shot through the roof; it was this no-good child who was jeopardizing his position in the family. "Murong Mengyao, come here," Murong Tao called with a cold voice.

Old Master Murong, facing the culprit Murong Mengyao, asked furiously, "Murong Mengyao, tell me, how many troubles have you caused outside? Do you want to bring down our Murong Family?" Enraged, he slammed his walking stick on the ground several times.

Murong Mengyao, who was usually well-favored, felt deeply wronged after being scolded so harshly. Was it such a big deal that she hired someone to teach Murong Wanyu a lesson? Did they really need to treat her this way? Even now, Murong Mengyao still didn’t feel she had done anything wrong.

Murong Wanyu and Murong Ansheng, completely unaware of the whole charade unfolding in the Murong Family, stood obediently beside their father after entering.

After Old Master Murong said those words, he sighed and sat down. "Alright, I won’t ask any more. Xiao Tao, later you take Xiao Chen to the company, and hand over your work to him."

"Dad, you can’t do this." As soon as Murong Tao heard Old Master Murong’s words, he couldn’t sit still. How could he give up his power? He couldn’t.

"Enough, no more discussion. It’s decided," said Old Master Murong, standing up and walking inside with his walking stick. As he walked, he added, "Xiao Tao, don’t be obstinate. And Xiao Chen, take your wife and child and move back."

No matter how reluctant Murong Tao was, he knew that the Dragon Society was not something he could afford to provoke. However, looking at his daughter Murong Mengyao, he felt like strangling her; this loss-making venture had cost him everything.

After Murong Chen took his siblings Murong Wanyu and Murong Ansheng back, Murong Ansheng couldn’t help but ask their father what was going on today. Why had his father become the Murong Family’s decision-maker? Murong Chen was also not very clear about the whole situation. Old Master Murong did not disclose to him either the attempt of Murong Tao to harm him or what Murong Mengyao had done to Murong Wanyu, fearing it could turn the brothers against each other.
