Everyone in the Jiang Family was stunned by Jiang Chen's swift action once more, as they stared at him dumbfounded.

"Which hand struck my mom?" Jiang Chen asked coldly.

"Bastard! You illegitimate child, you dare touch me, you... Ah!" Jiang Mingyao shouted angrily, but before she could finish her curse, Jiang Chen yanked on her hair and her words immediately broke off with another cry of pain.

"Since you're not talking, then you won't need either of your arms!" A cold glint shone in Jiang Chen's eyes.

Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, a shiver went through everyone from the Jiang Family. Jiang Mingqian reacted, shouting, "Jiang Chen, what do you think you're doing?"

Jiang Chen ignored Jiang Mingqian, released Jiang Mingyao's hair, grabbed one of her shoulders with his hand, and squeezed hard!

Crack!

The crisp sound of bone snapping echoed, and Jiang Mingyao's arms instantly went limp, dangling down powerlessly.

"Ah!"

Jiang Mingyao screamed miserably and immediately passed out.

Thud!

After pushing Jiang Mingyao aside, letting her fall to the ground, Jiang Chen turned around and walked towards Shen Xiaoqin.

"Jiang Chen, you..."

Jiang Mingqian, his face filled with rage, glared at Jiang Chen, too angry to speak. His own sister's shoulders had been brutally broken right in front of him—it was a fierce slap in his own face!

With a murderous look, Jiang Chen coldly said to Jiang Mingqian, "What? You have a problem with that?"

Jiang Mingqian's body trembled, and he involuntarily shivered.

In Jiang Chen's eyes, he could see no trace of emotion, only bone-chilling coldness.

At that moment, Jiang Mingqian felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, finding himself unable to speak a word!

Ignoring Jiang Mingqian, Jiang Chen came to Shen Xiaoqin's side. His aura of killing intent disappeared in an instant, as he looked at her with an apologetic expression, "Mom, I'm sorry, I'm late!"

"You... sigh! How could you..." Shen Xiaoqin looked at Jiang Chen with worried eyes, wanting to scold yet unable to bring herself to do it.

"Mom, don't worry, what's mine is mine, and no one will be able to take it away. Now that I'm back, I will take back everything that belongs to me!" Jiang Chen firmly stated, then turned his head to give the people of the Jiang Family a cold glance.

Jiang Chen had not intended to be so forceful in the Jiang Family, but the treatment of Shen Xiaoqin had thoroughly enraged him.

When an ordinary man is angry, blood splatters five steps; when a king is angry, blood flows for a thousand miles.

Though Jiang Chen was not yet a king, he was certainly no ordinary man.

Today was just the beginning. Should anyone stand in the way of his path forward, he would not be polite!

After Jiang Chen's piercing glance, everyone in the Jiang Family felt a chilling sensation, involuntarily taking a step back in unison.

"Mom, let's go back to rest," Jiang Chen said, supporting Shen Xiaoqin's arm as he moved towards the meeting room's doorway, followed by Ye Jingyi, Leng Ye, and Yan Hu, who all headed toward the exit.

As they passed by Elder Master Jiang, Jiang Chen didn't even spare him a glance.

He was truly angry. He initially thought that having Shen Xiaoqin arrived at the Jiang Family first would mean she'd be under Elder Master Jiang's care, but he never expected such 'care.'

From today's events, it was evident that Shen Xiaoqin's days at the Jiang Family were anything but easy, and all of this supposedly went unnoticed by Elder Master Jiang?

This is utterly ridiculous!

Elder Master Jiang opened his mouth but said nothing, glancing at the unconscious Shen Mingyao and her child. He then turned to give Butler Lu a meaningful look, who nodded and followed Jiang Chen and the others.

As Jiang Chen approached, the Jiang Family members standing at the conference room door all stepped aside, making room. It was clear to everyone that Jiang Chen was in a state of extreme anger, and no one wanted to suffer the same fate as Shen Mingyao and her son.

After Jiang Chen and the others left the conference room, Elder Master Jiang stared at Jiang Minghui and spoke in a cold voice, "Are you satisfied? Is this the outcome you wanted to see?"

"What are you talking about, Uncle? How could I want to see Jiang Chen being so violent?"

Jiang Minghui spoke as if he were on the side of justice, yet a hint of pleasure surfaced in his heart.

Jiang Chen, I didn't expect you to lose your calm so soon. This will most definitely make Ming Qian relentlessly go against you, saving me the trouble of interfering. Moreover, I can now sit back and enjoy watching you both fight it out without even having to lift a finger!

"Hmph!" Elder Master Jiang snorted coldly and said firmly, "Jiang Chen is our legitimate eldest grandson of the Jiang Family. As he said, what is his must be returned to him! Jiang Minghui, if you dare interfere, don't blame this old man for not being courteous!"

After delivering this harsh statement to Jiang Minghui, Elder Master Jiang strode out of the conference room.

Jiang Minghui's face instantly darkened as he cursed in his heart:

You bastard! You old fool, what are you implying? What the hell are you trying to do? Are you seriously considering supporting your bastard grandson in his bid for power now? Don't even think about it!

After leaving the conference room, Jiang Chen and his group left the attic, with Butler Lu hurrying after them.

"Young Master, the old master really didn't know about what happened to the young mistress, please don't..." started Butler Lu, attempting to explain.

"Didn't know? My mother gets bullied in the Jiang Family, and he doesn't know? What kind of father-in-law is he? I let my mother come back with you first, not so she could be bullied by your Jiang Family!" Jiang Chen shouted in anger.

Butler Lu felt a sudden pang in his heart. He heard very clearly that Jiang Chen referred to "your Jiang Family," once again distancing himself from the family. Elder Master Jiang had just started to make Jiang Chen feel a sense of belonging to the Jiang Family, but today's events had caused that feeling to vanish without a trace!

"Young Master, this, this..."

Butler Lu didn't know how to explain himself. What Jiang Chen said was true.

It was he who had brought Shen Xiaoqin back. Being strangers in the Jiang Family, of course, she needed Elder Master Jiang's care. But now, such an incident had occurred, and Butler Lu was fully aware that today's incident was not the first. However, Elder Master Jiang, who should have been Shen Xiaoqin's protector, knew nothing, which was a mistake in itself. How could he explain that!

"Young Master, the old master must realize he's in the wrong. Let's do this, I'll take you, the young mistress, and the little young mistress to the attic I've prepared for you, is that alright?" asked Butler Lu, his face filled with a bitter expression.

Jiang Chen furrowed his brows slightly and asked in confusion, "What do you mean by 'the attic you've prepared for me'? Where does my mother live in the Jiang Family?"

"Young Master, the young mistress stays in the fifth courtyard, and your attic is in the sixth courtyard," Butler Lu explained softly.

Jiang Chen glanced at Shen Xiaoqin and spoke gently, "Mom, let's go to your place first to pack some stuff, you'll move into the sixth courtyard with me."

"This... Chen'er... that... Let's go to your place first. I can pack my things myself later!" Shen Xiaoqin's face changed, as she quickly tried to stop him.

Jiang Chen's brows furrowed, an idea flashing through his mind, and he said sternly, "Mom, listen to me, let's pack together."

Without waiting for Shen Xiaoqin's response, he took her hand and headed towards the fifth courtyard.

Butler Lu felt a jolt in his heart; he noticed Shen Xiaoqin's unease as well.

Immediately, Butler Lu's face changed, and he followed anxiously.

At the same time, he prayed inwardly that nothing else would go wrong.

This young master usually had a good temper, but once it came to the people around him, he was like a cannon ready to explode at the slightest touch!
