"Attacking the direct descendant and eldest grandson of the family, is akin to betraying one's master and annihilating one's ancestors; such acts warrant expulsion from the family, deprivation of all family assets, and for the most severe crimes, implicating the entire branch!" Jiang Minghui's voice was low as he began.
"Good."
Jiang Chen said indifferently, "Jiang Mingqian colluded with people from Beihai National in the underground parking lot of Jinhuan Clubhouse to assassinate me, and he even refused to spare Yu Qing and the other two. Family Head, please announce the punishment!"
"Impossible! You're framing my dad!" Jiang Mingyao, who had just come from the hospital, shouted out.
"It was Second Uncle who wanted to kill us, and there were several other people there too!"
Jiang Mingfeng's little face was flushed with anger as he spoke, and tears appeared in his eyes, "I begged Second Uncle not to kill us, but he didn't listen. He even said not to blame him. If we were to blame anyone, it should be ourselves as we deserved it. How did we deserve this? Why does he want to kill us? Several people have died!"
The meeting room instantly fell silent, and everyone turned their gaze to Jiang Yuqing and Jiang Yuling.
"Today... Second Uncle indeed brought over strongmen from Beihai National with the aim of ambushing us. If it weren't for my cousin and his bodyguards, we... we might already be dead!" Jiang Yuqing said with an ugly expression on his face.
Jiang Yuling looked at the unconscious Jiang Mingqian lying on the ground and nodded somberly.
Jiang Yufeng might not fully understand what Jiang Mingqian's attack on them meant, but the two of them were very clear about it. Today's events... were likely to escalate!
"The situation is quite clear now. Does anyone else have any objections?" Elder Master Jiang swept his gaze across everyone in the meeting room and spoke in a deep voice.
"No, Uncle, it can't be true. My brother would never attack Jiang Chen!"
"Yes, Grandpa, it can't be!"
"Grandpa, it's impossible!"
"Uncle, you must investigate thoroughly!"
Supporters of Jiang Mingqian's faction were shouting loudly.
"Expel Jiang Mingqian's faction from the family, all their assets are to be transferred to Chen'er, including the company shares they hold; all shall be reassigned to Chen'er's name!" Elder Master Jiang's voice was cold.
"No, Elder Brother Minghui, Elder Brother Minghui, please help us! We've given you our shares in Longteng Group, please help us!" Jiang Mingyao staggered and threw herself at Jiang Minghui, grabbing his arm and pleading.
"What? Who gave you permission to transfer company shares privately?" Elder Master Jiang was instantly furious upon hearing this and glared at Jiang Mingyao with indignation.
Jiang Minghui's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Elder Master, the family rules don't prohibit the transfer of company shares, do they?"
"You..." Elder Master Jiang suddenly thought of something and looked at Jiang Minghui with a dark expression.
"Grandfather, let's talk about this matter later," Jiang Chen said softly.
Elder Master Jiang glanced at Jiang Chen, his face darkening as he swept his gaze over the people seated on the right side of the long table. The whole row avoided Elder Master Jiang's gaze and bowed their heads.
"You... you wouldn't also..." Elder Master Jiang suddenly realized something was amiss and looked at the people on the right side of the room in shock.
"Grandfather!" Jiang Chen called out sharply.
Elder Master Jiang turned to look at Jiang Chen, who solemnly shook his head.
Now was not the time to confront Jiang Minghui. Jiang Chen couldn't be sure how many shares of Longteng Jiang Minghui held at this moment. If Jiang Minghui's shares outnumbered his own, a confrontation would be problematic!
Elder Master Jiang apparently realized this as well and, with a face ashen, closed his mouth.
Jiang Minghui also heaved a sigh of relief inwardly. Some of his arrangements were not yet complete, and he didn't want to fall out with Elder Master Jiang just yet — at least not until he had secured controlling interest in the company, and the longer he could delay, the better!
"Expel Jiang Mingqian's faction from the family!" Elder Master Jiang's voice was ironclad as he commanded.
"Yes!"
Jiang Yi acknowledged the command and gave a signal to several Heavenly Level Bodyguards standing aside. They stepped forward, grabbed Jiang Mingqian's family members and Jiang Mingyao, and began to escort them out of the meeting room.
"No, uncle, please don't do this! Brother Minghui, help us!"
"No, grandfather, please don't drive us away!"
Jiang Mingyao and the others struggled violently, shouting loudly, but how could they possibly break free from the control of a Heavenly Peak Grandmaster? They were all taken out of the conference room.
"Chen'er, here is the list of those who insulted your mother along with the events. Now that everyone is here, let's settle this." Elder Master Jiang pushed the papers on the table towards Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen didn't reach for them, instead, he looked deeply into Elder Master Jiang's eyes.
Elder Master Jiang's face was full of sadness at this moment, his eyes showing a pained expression. He had given his life to the Jiang Family, and now it had come to such a state, which made him feel extremely desolate!
Alas!
Taking a deep sigh, Jiang Chen picked up the papers and gently unfolded them.
After reading them carefully, Jiang Chen's face turned completely icy.
"Jiang Mingjian, Jiang…" Jiang Chen listed a series of names, and each person mentioned by Jiang Chen staggered, with some of the psychologically weaker ones having to hold onto the back of their chairs to stay seated.
"Hand over the properties in your names, and then leave the family. Don't worry, this isn't an expulsion. The family will give you a certain living allowance each month, but for now, you better not come back. At least, do not come to Jincheng!" Jiang Chen spoke indifferently.
"Jiang Chen, how ruthless of you! We just…" Jiang Mingjian, one of Jiang Chen's cousins, cried out loudly.
Jiang Chen spoke in a low voice, "Just what? Would it be fine if I dug up your mother's grave and then buried her again?"
Jiang Mingjian's face changed and he was about to speak, but Jiang Chen's voice rang out again:
"Of course, if you really want to wade into these muddy waters, I won't stop you. But this isn't just about my mother. Today it was me who was attacked by Jiang Mingqian; tomorrow, could it be your turn? If that really happens, I won't show any mercy. By then, you'll lose more than just shares."
The faces of Jiang Mingjian and the others changed drastically, and they all turned their heads to look at Jiang Minghui simultaneously.
Jiang Minghui's face darkened, as Jiang Chen was making the dispute between them obvious!
"Jiang Chen, aren't you being a bit too extreme? We're all family here. How could anyone die?" Jiang Minghui said somberly.
"Heh."
Jiang Chen chuckled coldly, looking at Jiang Minghui with a mocking expression, "Fine then, since the Family Head has spoken, let it be as they wish. But if things escalate again, you all better watch out."
As the words fell, Jiang Chen got up and walked out of the conference room.
The situation was now completely clear, and there was no point in staying any longer.
Elder Master Jiang gave Jiang Minghui a glance, stood up, and followed Jiang Chen out of the conference room, along with the families of Jiang Minglou and Jiang Mingcheng. Naturally, Jiang Yi and the others also left.
Banzi looked up at the remaining people in the conference room for a moment, then got up and headed towards the door.
"Banzi, this is not your fault, no need for guilt!" Jiang Minghui looked up at Banzi, a smile on his face as he spoke.
Banzi replied seriously, "I bear responsibility for anything that happens within the bodyguards."
Without regard for Jiang Minghui's reaction, Banzi turned and left the conference room.
Jiang Minghui watched Banzi's retreating figure, his eyes darkened, and a cold glint flashed through them.
"Brother Minghui, you...you wouldn't really kill…" Sensing the murderous intent in Jiang Minghui's eyes, Jiang Mingjian shivered, his voice fearful as he spoke.
Jiang Minghui retracted the cold gleam in his eyes, glanced at Jiang Mingjian and the others, and smiled lightly, "How could that be? We're all family here. How could I possibly do such a thing? It's just… Alas! Mingqian really acted impulsively. How could he go and attack Jiang Chen? No matter how rude Jiang Chen is, after all, he is our nephew!"
Jiang Mingjian and the others exhaled a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
However, they did not see the mad killing intent flickering in the depths of Jiang Minghui's eyes!
