99: Chapter 099: The Second Master of the Xu Family Seizes Power, Chaos Ensues in the Family 99: Chapter 099: The Second Master of the Xu Family Seizes Power, Chaos Ensues in the Family After Ning Fan left, the Xu Family villa plunged into an atmosphere of panic and tension, with everyone inside feeling restless and apprehensive.
They all worried about Xu Ruolan’s safety.
The gang of thugs was intent on taking Xu Ruolan’s life, and now that she had been snatched away without any protection, there was no telling when they might decide to act.
This meant that whether Xu Ruolan would still be alive when Ning Fan arrived, or whether she could be rescued at all, was uncertain.
The Family Head sighed, without his beloved daughter, the future of the Xu Corporation seemed unsustainable, and it might even collapse instantly.
The Family Head muttered, “If anything happens to Ruolan, what will our Xu Family do?”
As the Family Head spoke, the rest of the Xu Family likewise fell into sorrow.
Xu Rongfei was no exception, aware of Xu Ruolan’s importance to the Xu Family, her usually elegant and noble face now seemed somewhat gloomy.
She consoled, “Ruolan should be fine, right?
We still have God Doctor Ning.”
Xu Xiaoqing was also anxious; after all, Xu Ruolan’s reputation as a business elite wasn’t for nothing.
“Ning Fan will save my sister, we need to have faith in him…”
She shouted towards the outside, more worried about Xu Ruolan’s well-being than the future of the Xu Corporation, even more than the Family Head and Xu Rongfei.
Just then, Uncle Xu chuckled coldly, casting a scornful glance at everyone and said with a smile, “How about I take charge of the Xu Family?”
Upon hearing Uncle Xu’s words, the Family Head immediately frowned and looked at him coldly, “What do you mean by that?”
Suddenly, every member of the Xu Family, including Xu Rongfei and Xu Xiaoqing, turned their gaze towards Xu Mingqiu, sensing something ominous in his chilling smile.
Xu Xiaoqing burst out angrily on the spot, “Uncle, what are you talking about?
My sister is in grave danger, and you’re harboring ulterior motives!”
Xu Mingqiu sneered, pushing Xu Xiaoqing aside with such force that she nearly fell but was caught by Xu Rongfei.
Ignoring Xu Xiaoqing’s furious questioning, Xu Mingqiu, with a ferocious look on his face, said to the Family Head, “Xu Chengyuan, can’t you see what I’m getting at?”
At this, all the Xu Family members were stunned.
The Family Head’s expression turned icy as he glared at Uncle Xu with wide, furious eyes, and said coldly:
“Are you trying to seize the position of Family Head?”
“Xu Chengyuan, you’re quite perceptive.
I am indeed seizing power!” Xu Mingqiu laughed heartily.
The Family Head was instantly enraged, as the dignity of the Family Head was not to be challenged, and he slapped Xu Mingqiu across the face.
Xu Mingqiu stepped back and waved his hand grandly.
Suddenly, dozens of armed and skilled men in black surrounded all the Xu Family members.
The fierce stares of these men in black made the Xu Family members shiver.
Even a blind man could see what Xu Mingqiu was up to, but Xu Xiaoqing still couldn’t believe it and angrily confronted him.
“Uncle, what exactly are you trying to do?”
The man in black beside Xu Mingqiu coldly shoved Xu Xiaoqing to the ground with a heavy push.
Xu Mingqiu looked at her with a malicious smile, “Little girl, can you still not see?
What am I doing?
Of course, I’m seizing power!”
Only then did Xu Xiaoqing truly understand what Xu Mingqiu, her uncle, intended to do…
How could such a thing happen?!
The Family Head was even more furious, his eyes wide with rage as he cursed at Xu Mingqiu, “Xu Mingqiu, you beast!”
Saying so, he strode furiously toward Xu Mingqiu, and the rest of the Xu Family also started to move.
Xu Mingqiu sneered and immediately drew a pistol, pointing it at the Family Head and bellowed, “Who dares move?
I’ll blast him!”
Xu Rongfei was so frightened that her face lost all color, and she asked anxiously, “Second Brother, do you realize the consequences of what you’re doing?
What on earth are you doing this for?”
Xu Mingqiu scoffed, “For what?
Of course, it’s for myself!”
A twitch tugged at the corner of Xu Mingqiu’s mouth, as if recalling his past experiences with the Xu Family, his face became more hideous.
“I’ve endured humiliation and carried heavy burdens for the Xu Family for so many years.
I’ve worked so hard for the family, watching it strengthen under my hands.
How much have I given, and how much have you, Xu Chengyuan, actually contributed?”
“Xu Chengyuan, you don’t deserve to sit in the Family Head’s seat.
That position should have been mine!
Even if I couldn’t take the Family Head’s seat, the Xu Corporation should have been controlled by me.
Why should I put in so much effort, only to let a young girl take control of the Xu Corporation?
I can’t accept it!”
Listening to him, the Xu family members suddenly understood the reason behind Xu Mingqiu’s actions; he had always felt suppressed and resentful.
The Xu Family owed much to Xu Mingqiu’s contributions.
His capabilities were acknowledged by everyone in the family, but what he got in return seemed inadequate.
The most valuable asset of the Xu Family was now the Xu Corporation.
After the Family Head retired, Xu Ruolan essentially held the reins of power.
Xu Mingqiu obviously could not accept this.
Feeling the imbalance in his heart, he became convinced that the Xu Corporation should belong to him, and so he thought of seizing control in this manner.
At last, his ire erupted completely.
The angry expression on the Family Head’s face gradually softened, probably realizing his own part in this, and he said placatingly,
“Second Brother, if you feel there has been an injustice, you can discuss it with us, we can solve it together.
Let everyone go, and we can talk it all through.”
Xu Mingqiu sneered, laughing at the Family Head’s naivety, and scolded angrily, “Xu Chengyuan, what time do you think it is?
Don’t you have a clue?”
The Family Head’s face stiffened, knowing all hope was lost.
This Xu Mingqiu had set his heart on seizing power and intended to eliminate anyone who stood in his way.
Only to blame for not being more cautious in the beginning.
Xu Xiaoqing, however, stood up once more, defiantly saying, “Uncle, aren’t you afraid of Ning Fan by doing this?”
Slap!
Xu Mingqiu swung his hand and gave Xu Xiaoqing a vicious slap, sending her flying back.
Then, pointing a gun at Xu Xiaoqing’s head, he yelled, “Don’t talk to me about that bastard!
Whether that bastard survives tonight is still unknown!”
Every time Ning Fan was mentioned, Xu Mingqiu became infuriated, his rage boiling over, and the gun in his hand trembled.
“If it weren’t for Ning Fan, would I have needed to take such a risk?
I even broke my own son’s leg with my own hands.
If it hadn’t been for him, Xu Ruolan would have died long ago!”
By this point, Xu Mingqiu had completely lost his mind.
“So it was you who had placed a curse on Ruolan!” Xu Yuancheng glared at him furiously.
“Heh, realizing it now isn’t too late,” Xu Mingqiu said with a cold laugh.
“Originally, I wanted to let her die a quiet death, so that it would go unnoticed, fulfilling my duty as an uncle.
But damn that Ning Fan, if it weren’t for him!
Why would I have taken such a great risk to seize power!
Blame that damn Ning Fan!
If not for him, I wouldn’t have been driven to such a desperate situation!”
“You beast, can you even call yourself human, having the heart to harm your own niece?”
The Family Head cursed loudly.
“Haha, my own niece, so what?
I, bloody hell, even broke my own son’s legs, why should I care about a niece?
What good is a niece?
Can she be eaten like a meal?”
Xu Mingqiu’s face twisted with a crazed and ferocious expression as he shouted.
Everyone in the Xu Family then remembered why Xu Ruolan had been the target of an assassination—it was all because of Xu Mingqiu.
The Family Head had intended to mediate, but now his expression cooled,
Xu Mingqiu’s plan to seize power had clearly been in the works for some time, and Ning Fan’s arrival had thwarted him time and again.
In the end, Xu Mingqiu finally erupted with fury, ready to violently take power, eliminating the obstacles Ning Fan and Xu Ruolan posed.
Without a doubt, he would be the one controlling the Xu Family.
