Chapter 507: Chapter 529: The Demise of 6 Major Powers
Chen Yi’s words in the Chen Family are essentially like an imperial decree.
Every member of the Chen Family, including the patriarch of the family, dare not question Chen Yi’s words even slightly.
This old man.
Is the stabilizing force of the Chen Family.
As long as he is present, the Chen Family will never fall.
Therefore, over the years, Chen Yi has focused on cultivating his health, treating the injuries he sustained in battles during his youth.
Hoping to live a bit longer, ensuring the Chen Family’s enduring prosperity.
This ancestor.
Has not been this angry for a long time.
...
Chen Family main hall.
Chen Buhui, Chen Bufan, and Chen Buci kneel on the ground, looking terrified.
Behind them.
There are also several direct descendants of the Chen Family, all kneeling with pale faces.
"Speak, you useless scoundrels, idling around, ruining the family’s reputation.
Who gave you the courage to collude with foreign tribes?"
Chen Yi stood at the front of the main hall, shouting angrily.
Chen Bufan and the others shook visibly upon hearing this.
Colluding with foreign tribes?
This is a crime severe enough to destroy the entire family!
"Father, where did you hear this news?
Even if we had ten times the courage, we would not dare commit such treasonous acts."
The third son, Chen Buci, said fearfully.
Beside him, Chen Buhui also said, "Yes, the third brother makes sense, the Chen Family has always followed the rules.
Even if some of the younger generation are mischievous, they would never commit such a grave mistake that would annihilate the family."
Chen Yi coldly laughed: "Impossible? If Director Bai hadn’t come to the residence personally, you wouldn’t even know what mistake you’ve made when you’re tied up and sent to the Anomaly Bureau execution platform."
"What?"
The three were simultaneously shocked.
They hadn’t expected Baiyu’s visit today to be about this.
This bastard, such a malicious heart.
Wanting to slap a charge of colluding with foreign tribes on the Chen Family!
If such a charge is confirmed, the hundreds of people in the Chen Family will absolutely be wiped out.
Chen Bufan was both shocked and angry in his heart, increasingly resentful toward Baiyu.
He, noble as the patriarch of the Chen Family, is today publicly humiliated by this young man, severely damaging the patriarch’s authority.
How, in the future, will he manage the family, gain respect?
Being punished to repent in the ancestral hall implies.
The old man might be considering letting Chen Buhui, the older brother, manage the Chen Family.
This further arouses Chen Bufan’s resentment towards Baiyu.
Therefore.
Now.
He was the first to stand and say, "Father, this matter is absolutely not possible, the Chen Family has always acted properly, surely someone is framing us, innocent and unafraid, how can we be subdued by these petty scoundrels?"
Although he didn’t state it outright.
His words clearly meant to curse Baiyu.
In his eyes, the resentment towards Baiyu was undisguised.
Baiyu stood aside, coldly laughing inside.
This Chen Bufan, not sure if sitting in the patriarch’s seat for too long, has become arrogant or has dementia.
Given the current situation.
He can still speak such uncommon words, simply bizarre.
As expected.
After he finished speaking, the old man Chen Yi laughed angrily, his tired old eyes revealing two fierce gleams:
"Chen Bufan, what did you just say?
Let me ask you.
Do you have any dealings with the Kuanglang Association and the Power Gang?"
Chen Bufan was a bit taken aback, surprised that his father would address him by name but still nodded:
"These two are old acquaintances of the Chen Family, sharing ties.
Today they even sent people to the home, wanting me to ask Young Master Bai why the personal guards surrounded their assets without cause?"
In his words.
Chen Bufan coldly stared at Baiyu, as if waiting for an explanation.
But before Baiyu could speak.
Chen Yi raised the iron cane in his hand, a swing landing on Chen Bufan’s face.
This strike carried great force.
Even using blood qi.
Chen Bufan is merely a Tier Eight Martial Artist, not even surpassing many High Tier guards of the Chen Family.
Instantly, this strike rendered him wounded, a gruesome wound splitting his head, blood spilling over his face.
He cried out in pain, his body being flung away, crashing into the pillars of the main hall.
Witnessing this scene, the Chen Family members present had not yet reacted.
It was the crying of the women that brought them back to reality.
Usually this highly respectable patriarch of the Chen Family, now lay on the ground like a dead dog, chest rising and falling, mouth emitting groans of pain.
"If I were a few years younger, I would have surely beaten you, a rebellious son, to death with a single strike.
Did you know those two families are colluding with foreign tribes, and now it is Director Baiyu’s personal guards surrounding them!"
Chen Yi’s resonant voice rang out: "And you, engaging with these rebels, even speaking up for them despite being harmed.
If it weren’t for Director Bai’s warning.
You, pig-headed fool, would drag our Chen Family down to perish with you.
Get over here.
Kneel and apologize by bowing to Director Bai!"
Chen Yi trembled with anger.
He knew his second son was ineffective.
But never expected, that this fool would be not only ineffective but also so stupid.
Such a critical juncture.
Without the slightest sensitivity.
Baiyu survived an assassination, currently wielding great influence, even the Armed Department and the Anomaly Bureau dare not provoke this Violet Count at this time, afraid of inviting trouble.
Except this fool.
Seemingly eager for the Chen Family to be taken down by this Count.
"Old Chen, is there any need for this?
I will naturally handle matters impartially, thoroughly investigating this affair.
If the Chen Family is truly without fault, then the patriarch of the Chen Family is not guilty."
Baiyu said calmly.
Upon hearing these words, Chen Yi was taken aback.
What clan could withstand a thorough investigation?
