102: Chapter 102: Father and Son Fall Out (Seeking Recommendation Votes) 102: Chapter 102: Father and Son Fall Out (Seeking Recommendation Votes) Xu Mingqiu and the others were quickly subdued by the numerous experts of Dragon Eagle Hall, without any capacity to resist.
Xu Mingqiu’s grand ambitions instantly burst like bubbles, and his plans ultimately ended in failure, defeated by Ning Fan.
Xu Mingqiu, filled with frustration, shouted at Ning Fan, “Losing is losing, the winners reign and the losers are bandits.
Ning Fan, if you want to kill me, then kill me!”
Ning Fan, like an emperor, strode over, smiling, “Second Uncle, you’ve got quite the backbone.”
Ning Fan looked at Xu Mingqiu with some surprise, realizing for the first time that this man actually had some backbone.
Then looking over at Xu Yunjie, who was so scared that he had gone limp, Xu Mingqiu had so much more backbone than his own son.
Of course, Xu Yunjie didn’t want to die.
He felt he was different from his father; he hadn’t lived enough yet.
How could he die so soon?
He wanted to live a few more years!
Moreover, it was not him who had led this matter.
If blame was to be assigned, it should fall on his father.
What did it have to do with him?
He had to live, he must live!
So Xu Yunjie desperately begged Ning Fan for mercy, his pleading voice echoing throughout the villa.
“Ninth Master…
Ninth Master, everything was my father’s fault.
I was forced to do this; I had nothing to do with it.”
“Ninth Master, please forgive me, spare my life, I am innocent…
I am innocent.”
If it wasn’t for Xu Yunjie being under control of Dragon Eagle Hall’s men, he would have wished to kneel before Ning Fan, showing his true feelings.
Xu Mingqiu, seeing Xu Yunjie plead and hearing his words, thought, this beast of a son is pushing all the blame on his father to save his own life?
Was I drunk when I was doing the deed?
How did I father such a worthless wretch?
Xu Mingqiu cursed Xu Yunjie furiously, spitting as he spoke.
“I actually raised a beast like you!
Where’s my gun?
I’m going to blow you away with one shot!”
Xu Yunjie hurriedly said, “Old man, you may have lived enough, but I haven’t, I’m still young, and there’s still so much I haven’t done.
If you want to seek death, don’t drag me into it.”
Xu Mingqiu’s face turned livid with rage, his face going pale from the frustration caused by his worthless son, unable to utter a word.
“You beast!”
Ning Fan, watching the spat between the two with a deeper meaning, walked up to Xu Yunjie and said coldly,
“I can give you a chance, but only one of you two, father and son, can live.
You make the choice!”
Saying this, he signaled to the two people behind Xu Yunjie.
They released Xu Yunjie and at the same time dropped a knife on the ground.
Clang…
Everyone there was stunned; Ning Fan’s statement was chilling.
It was like a dilemma that had lasted through the ages, as difficult as deciding who to save first if your girlfriend and mother both fell into a river.
Upon hearing Ning Fan’s words, Xu Yunjie was flooded with thoughts.
Only one could live?
Who would die, who would live?
Yet Xu Yunjie didn’t hesitate for long—actually, he didn’t hesitate at all as he picked up the knife from the ground and walked toward his father.
Looking at Xu Mingqiu, he said, “Father, I’m sorry, but I’m still young, and I want to live longer.
You’re already one foot in the grave and won’t have many years left, so you probably don’t care much about when you die, so let it be you who dies.”
Xu Mingqiu stared dumbfounded at the beast before him, and upon hearing Xu Yunjie’s words, rage surged to his heart and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
He coldly watched Xu Yunjie approach to kill him, his heart turned to ash.
Was this truly his son?
They say even a tiger does not eat its cubs, so why was his son coming to kill him?
Xu Mingqiu had fought to control the Xu Family for this beast of a son, and now this…
Xu Mingqiu’s heart was nearly dead.
Xu Yunjie didn’t care for any of that, and the knife in his hand swiftly chopped down towards Xu Mingqiu.
“You worthless thing!”
All the members of the Xu Family were just as shocked, but it was the Family Head who reacted extremely quickly, intercepting Xu Yunjie and preventing him from bringing down the blade.
Although the blade didn’t come down, Xu Mingqiu had already completely despaired, as if he had indeed been struck by the blade, his complexion turning ashen, with a hollow look in his eyes.
His plans had failed again and again, resulting in such a complete and embarrassing defeat.
He had also seen Xu Yunjie’s true nature, a beast’s nature, and couldn’t help but feel profound sadness.
Ning Fan watched this scene indifferently, without any surprise.
It was all as he had expected.
The Family Head walked up to Xu Mingqiu, looked at him deeply, and said, “Second brother, you once made great contributions to our Xu Family, all of which I keep in my heart.
I am truly grateful in my heart, but what you have done now has greatly disappointed me as the elder brother,
If it were not for the presence of Ninth Master, you would have ruined the foundation of the Xu Family, and I will not allow that to happen, so…”
The Family Head paused.
Xu Mingqiu awaited the Family Head’s judgment, the judgment the victor passes upon the vanquished, which often has only one possibility.
He didn’t believe the Family Head would show him mercy.
But the Family Head continued, “Let’s end it here today.
I will not pursue these matters any further.
You are banished from the Xu Family, and I do not wish to see you again.”
It was somewhat different from what Xu Mingqiu had expected.
He lifted his head to look at the Family Head, his spirit shattered.
“You…
you’re not going to kill me?”
The Family Head actually forgave him?
He was supposed to have committed a capital offence, but now he was not required to die?
Xu Mingqiu glanced at Ning Fan.
Ning Fan shrugged his shoulders.
Since the Family Head had spoken, he naturally had nothing to say; after all, it was all a family affair of the Xu Family.
Xu Yunjie, who had been kicked to the side, heard this and immediately sprang up.
Kneeling, Xu Yunjie rushed to the Family Head’s side, exclaiming with joy, “Uncle, what about me, what about me?
It was all my father’s doing, it has nothing to do with me.
I can stay in the Xu Family, right?
At least let me stay in the Xu Family to atone for my father’s sins!”
Talking about atonement, in fact, he wanted to continue enjoying the glory and riches of the great Xu Family.
The Family Head naturally saw right through him and paid no attention to Xu Yunjie.
Xu Mingqiu was furious.
He vented all his anger on his son, delivering a vicious slap across his face.
The blow sent Xu Yunjie spinning several times.
He fell to the ground again due to his lame foot, his face turning a bright red and two teeth coming loose.
Xu Yunjie: “You…”
Teeth gritted with anger, Xu Mingqiu roared, “Xu Yunjie, you don’t deserve to be my son, Xu Mingqiu.
From now on, you and I have no father-son relationship!”
“Who cares!”
Xu Yunjie retorted, while struggling to his feet and charging towards Xu Mingqiu, throwing punches and kicks.
Seeing his unfilial and rebellious son, Xu Mingqiu was enraged.
The two of them turned against each other on the spot and began to beat each other up viciously.
Both beaten to a pulp, neither was willing to stop.
Ning Fan watched Xu Yunjie and Xu Mingqiu, these two truly were a case of ‘like father, like son’—Xu Mingqiu wanting to kill his elder brother, Xu Yunjie wanting to kill his father.
In Ning Fan’s view, this was somewhat boring, and he lost interest in watching any further.
He gestured to the old eagle with a wave of his hand.
The old eagle immediately understood Ning Fan’s intentions and turned to take out all the people Xu Mingqiu had brought to the villa, along with the two father and son.
After clearing the villa of everyone, Kuang Tiexing chuckled and planned to say a few words to Ning Fan, but the old eagle dragged the plump man out of the villa.
Greeting Ning Fan, they left the Xu Family villa as hurriedly as they had arrived, the whole group coming and going in a whirlwind.
