Chapter 306: Chapter 306 Are You Satisfied With This Gift (2)_1

But unexpectedly, today someone had delivered all the evidence straight into their hands. When they saw this evidence, they were furious. One by one, they took the dossier to confront Xiao Yongxin.

"Xiao Yongxin, what do you think, are you satisfied with the gift I brought you?" When Xiao Muli and Old Master Xiao arrived at the Xiao Family residence, they just saw Xiao Yongxin surrounded by his bodyguards, with several people from the Xiao Family’s collateral branches about to settle accounts with him.

Upon seeing Xiao Muli, Xiao Yongxin was so angry he clenched his teeth. If it hadn’t been for his situation, where he was restrained from acting, he would have certainly picked a fight with Muli. But clearly, Xiao Yongxin had forgotten about Muli’s capabilities. If he went forward, he was definitely going to be at a disadvantage.

When the others heard Muli’s voice, they all stopped what they were doing and turned their heads to look at him.

"Xiao Muli, what exactly do you want?" Xiao Yongxin asked through gritted teeth, looking at Muli.

"What do I want?" Muli said with a mocking tone, "Xiao Yongxin, shouldn’t I be the one asking you that? I intended to participate in the Family Head competition fair and square, but I never expected you to pull such tricks behind the scenes. If I hadn’t been so fortunate, I would be who knows where by now." Muli’s words were known by those from the Xiao Family’s collateral branches as well, because the information Muli had given them contained everything Xiao Yongxin had done to him. "Xiao Yongxin, don’t you find yourself ridiculous, asking me what I plan to do? Let me ask you instead, what exactly are you trying to do?"

"Little brother, we can talk about this, let’s just talk nicely," interjected Elder Master Xiao as he arrived on the scene. He hastened to say this as soon as he saw Old Master Xiao.

But at this point, Old Master Xiao was not about to take his words into account. He knew that although the previous assassination attempts were orchestrated by Xiao Yongxin, this big brother of his certainly knew about them. Thinking of his brother who was aware of his son’s actions and yet didn’t come forward to stop anything, but now said they should talk nicely, Old Master Xiao felt deeply disappointed. "Brother, I still address you as ’brother’ for now. I think you must be aware of what Yongxin did to Muli. I am very disappointed in you, truly disappointed. And now, I don’t have anything to talk to you about." Old Master Xiao was thoroughly disappointed with his brother now.

Upon hearing Old Master Xiao’s words, Elder Master Xiao felt a pang of regret. He knew he had truly hurt his younger brother’s heart.

"Xiao Yongxin, I’ll give you one chance to relinquish the position of Family Head of the Xiao Family on your own," said Muli, seeing the pain and disappointment in his grandfather’s eyes. His heart softened, and he took a step back, offering Xiao Yongxin a way out.

However, Xiao Yongxin did not appreciate Muli’s kindness at all. He shrieked, "In your dreams! I’m telling you, even if I have to die, I won’t give up the position of Patriarch Xiao."

"Hmph, Xiao Yongxin, have you forgotten that your own son has disowned you? What use is there in your persistence? Or do you still hope that your illegitimate son can take over as Family Head? You’re daydreaming too generously," said an old man from the Xiao Family collateral branches, sneering at Xiao Yongxin. "Such wishful thinking."

Xiao Yongxin’s reaction was within Muli’s expectations. After all the things Xiao Yongxin had done, it was clear that he would not easily give up the position that he had been so desperately clinging to.

The mocking words of the old man just now really struck a chord with Xiao Yongxin. Indeed, after Xiao Li left the Xiao Family, Xiao Yongxin did indeed consider bringing his illegitimate son back as a candidate for Family Head.

He had his own plans; his illegitimate son was only eight years old now. He intended that, by the time he was ready to step down from the position of Family Head, his illegitimate son would take over, with the delusion of controlling him and thereby controlling the Xiao Family.

Muli had long known about Xiao Yongxin’s ambition, and he had truly wanted to give Xiao Yongxin a chance. As long as Xiao Yongxin willingly gave up the Family Head position, Muli was not going to pursue the previous matters any further, returning all of Xiao Yongxin’s property to him, ensuring a wealthy life for him thereafter.

But obviously, Xiao Yongxin was not that kind of person, so Muli had already prepared another move. "Since you won’t accept my good intentions, then you might as well take a look at this." Muli gestured to an attendant who had appeared with him and Old Master Xiao to hand over another dossier, similar to the earlier one, to him.

As Muli held out the dossier to Xiao Yongxin, his heart sank further upon seeing it looked similar to the one he had previously received. The ominous premonition in his heart grew stronger.

Although he had no desire to take the dossier from Muli’s hands, he was even more afraid that if he didn’t, it would fall into someone else’s hands next. The contents inside were something Xiao Yongxin subconsciously did not want others to have. Also, he noticed that when Muli picked up the dossier, several people from the surrounding Xiao Family’s collateral branches showed a curious expression.

Xiao Yongxin motioned to a bodyguard surrounding him to take the dossier from Muli’s hands.

After getting the dossier from Muli’s hands, Xiao Yongxin opened it eagerly, wanting to see what evidence other than what he had already seen Muli could bring to the table.

With such a mindset, Xiao Yongxin opened the dossier and began to pull out the papers inside. As he read the content, his face turned pale. The more he read, the worse his complexion became, and a cold sweat started to form on his forehead. The hand holding the documents began to tremble uncontrollably. He had never expected that the information Muli provided would pertain to this matter.

After reading the documents, Xiao Yongxin tried to compose himself, forcing a sense of calm. Because he knew that if he couldn’t think of a solution today, he would have to face the consequences.
