Chapter 726: Chapter 718 Qualifications (2)_1

"I always pay attention to what I say, I wouldn’t speak without evidence. You all want evidence, right? Then, here it is," Situ Xin said as he reached out for the stack of documents he had earlier given to Xiao Muli.

Xiao Muli got hold of the documents from his assistant and handed them to Situ Xin. Situ Xin threw the documents to Grandpa Xiao. "Take a good look at these and see if they’re the evidence you wanted. If you still don’t think it’s enough, then I can dig up everything I’ve done since my youth, one by one," Situ Xin said before turning back to his seat, grabbing the teacup, and taking a big gulp of tea. All this talking really made one thirsty.

Xiao Muli looked at Situ Xin with adoration as he downed the tea in the cup. He then took the initiative to pick up the teapot and refill Situ Xin’s cup.

As Eldest Master Xiao and Second Elder Master Xiao were skeptically sifting through the documents that Situ Xin had handed them, a scream suddenly startled everyone. The cry also shocked Baibai, who had been closing his eyes in Situ Xin’s arms, into opening his eyes and poking his tiger head out.

"Third Brother, what’s with all this fuss? This isn’t your own home where you can do as you please; this is the Xiao Family Old Mansion, show some respect," Eldest Master Xiao said with dissatisfaction to the one who had startled everyone.

"No, it’s not that. Big Brother, I can’t move my hand," wailed Third Elder Master Xiao, his heart in distress. He hadn’t wanted this. Only when he reached out to grab the documents that Situ Xin had brought did he realize his hand wouldn’t move at all. Not only that, but it had also lost all sensation.

"Third Brother, don’t joke around. How could your hand suddenly become immobile? It was fine just a moment ago," Second Elder Master Xiao said incredulously. Despite their united front moments before, they usually couldn’t stand each other and would seize any opportunity to find fault with one another.

"Second Brother, what are you saying? I wouldn’t be joking around with my own hand. I truly can’t feel anything in it. Fourth Brother, hurry, call for an ambulance!" At this point, Third Elder Master Xiao could no longer keep up appearances or act cordial in front of Xiao Muli and Situ Xin. The usual term of endearment for his brother, Second Brother, was discarded.

Second Elder Master Xiao, unconcerned with Third Elder Master Xiao’s change of address, watched as Third Elder Master Xiao clutched his other hand, squeezing it tightly but getting no response. That was when he believed Third Elder Master Xiao’s assertion that something was seriously wrong with his hand. Thus, refraining from harsh words, he stood aside to watch the drama unfold.

Fourth Elder Master Xiao, though reluctant, complied and instructed a servant of the Xiao Family to call for emergency services.

Meanwhile, Situ Xin and Xiao Muli remained seated, completely unaffected by the chaos around them. Indeed, Situ Xin was even discussing with Xiao Muli how the chefs of the Xiao Family had improved their culinary skills over the years.

Xiao Muli responded with a smile to Situ Xin’s comments. He knew full well that Third Elder Master Xiao’s condition was entirely Situ Xin’s handiwork. He was the only one in the room who had seen Situ Xin in action. In fact, had Situ Xin not intervened, he himself wouldn’t have let these old men off easy today.

He was always reluctant to utter a harsh word to Situ Xin, but these old men, on the other hand, wouldn’t stop their endless tirades. If not for Situ Xin holding him back, he would have dealt with these elders long ago.

The ambulance arrived quickly—how could it not? They had received an emergency call from the Xiao Family. A slight delay could mean losing their jobs, so for the sake of their livelihoods, the ambulance arrived at the destination in half the usual time.

"May I know which of the patients requires urgent care?" asked the doctor in a white coat, carrying a medical kit, followed by two men with a stretcher, inquiring after the Xiao Family’s servant.

The servant, who had called for the ambulance, guided the doctor and the stretcher-bearers to the hall. The servants of the Xiao Family Mansion knew their masters, and the one who had called for the ambulance had sought the Family Head’s permission. The servant replied to Xiao Muli, "Family Head, the emergency medical team has arrived, and they’re now outside."
