Chapter 1210: You're Not Allowed to Destroy the Xiao Family
“Child, you are far too arrogant,” Xiao Jincheng said calmly, looking at Xiao Mingyang. “There are always people more capable than you. You’re not the only one in this world who knows how to play mind games.”
Raising an eyebrow and glancing sideways at Xiao Jincheng, Xiao Mingyang looked at Xiao Jincheng as if he were looking at an old goat struggling in its death throes, and asked provocatively, "Grandpa, do you mean you're not willing to admit defeat and want to have another match with me?"
"I'm old, and I can't play with you young people anymore. But that doesn't mean you can destroy the Xiao family!" Xiao Jincheng's expression suddenly changed, his voice filled with accusation. "Don't think I don't know what you've been doing at the company lately! If you want to destroy the Xiao family, you'll have to see if I agree!"
Although Xiao Jincheng was terminally ill, he still exuded a chilling aura that made people afraid to look directly at him.
But Xiao Mingyang ignored the anger and said nonchalantly, "Things have come to this point, do you still have a trick up your sleeve? I really underestimated you! You should know that not only is the Xiao family in my hands now, but your life and death are also in my hands!"
Xiao Jincheng's lips twitched slightly, as if he were laughing or crying, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I know your capabilities now, so you don't need to keep talking about these things. Remember, don't always expose your trump cards, or your enemies will seize the opportunity to turn the tables on you!"
Looking closely into Xiao Jincheng's cloudy eyes, Xiao Mingyang didn't miss a single emotional fluctuation, because soon, he would be able to witness a wonderful show.
"A handle that can be easily dealt with is not a valid basis. But what if I have the secret to controlling life and death? My dear grandfather, you seem to have forgotten that the blood of the Xiao family also flows in my veins, and I have actually learned those tricks that you usually use!"
A sense of unease welled up inside Xiao Jincheng. He waited quietly for Xiao Mingyang to finish his sentence, his hands clenching involuntarily, and his expression no longer as relaxed as before.
Meeting Xiao Jincheng's wary gaze, Xiao Mingyang curled his lips into a wicked smile and slowly said, "I remember you really like using drugs to control people who are useful to you, don't you?"
boom--
Xiao Jincheng felt the last line of defense in his mind collapse, and his already dim eyes could barely see the people and things in front of him. If it weren't for the last bit of pride in his body, Xiao Jincheng would definitely be slumped in his wheelchair by now.
Xiao Mingyang seemed quite pleased with Xiao Jincheng's current state. He slowly stood up, his tall figure resembling that of a ruler who could control life and death. He said slowly, "I hope Grandpa remembers that I can not only destroy the Xiao family, but I can also destroy you! If you can behave yourself, I'm happy to be a dutiful descendant of the Xiao family, caring for you in your old age and seeing you off in your final days. But if you insist on disrupting the current balance, then you will have to pay the price for your actions!"
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Jincheng looked at Xiao Mingyang with resentment, then looked up and asked, "I consider myself very careful about my diet. What method did you use to get me infected?"
Taking a half step back, Xiao Mingyang crossed his arms, his young and robust body brimming with power. Yet, this very power only served to accentuate Xiao Jincheng's gaunt appearance.
Tilting his head slightly, Xiao Mingyang said sarcastically, "Actually, this thing accompanies you every day, and I bet you've never suspected it. That's right, it's originally meant to save your life, so no one would think it has another function!"
His pupils suddenly constricted, and the last bit of strength in Xiao Jincheng's body vanished.
As Xiao Mingyang walked away, Xiao Jincheng stiffly turned his head, looked at the ginseng tea that was still steaming in his hand, suddenly raised it high, and threw it hard to the ground!
The crisp cracking sound reached Xiao Mingyang's ears, causing him to curl his lips into a cold smile before walking down the stairs without hesitation.
Hearing a noise from inside the room, the attendant rushed in to check. Upon discovering the shards scattered on the floor, he paused, then nervously approached Xiao Jincheng and whispered, "Master, are you alright? Should I call Mr. Zhong?"
"Why did you call him here? To make me die sooner!" A strange red appeared on Xiao Jincheng's ashen face. He never thought that he would fall for his own usual tricks!
The attendant didn't know what had happened, but seeing Xiao Jincheng's angry face, he knew that Xiao Jincheng was very angry and that he should do something to ease Xiao Jincheng's anger.
The roses outside the window were in full bloom, so the attendant mustered his courage and said, "Master, let me take you outside for a walk and let you breathe some fresh air."
Xiao Jincheng had no interest in looking at the scenery outside, but the aroma of tea filling the room made him feel nauseous, so he accepted his attendant's suggestion and left the room.
Although the roses were beautiful, they also highlighted Xiao Jincheng's impending death, like a room full of withered flowers mixed with a touch of gloom.
"I never expected that the Xiao family would have a new master after only a few weeks. It's truly astonishing!"
A voice suddenly rang out from among the flowers, making Xiao Jincheng's expression even more unpleasant.
Raising his hand to signal his attendants to stay put, Xiao Jincheng pushed his wheelchair forward slowly, finally stopping beside a rose bush as thick as a bowl. He said coldly, "Since you're here, come out. Why hide in the shadows and watch others make a fool of themselves!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall and imposing figure slowly walked out. Judging from his appearance, it was none other than Si Wen.
Approaching Xiao Jincheng slowly, Si Wen smiled knowingly, giving Xiao Jincheng an exaggerated once-over, clicking his tongue as he said, "I think you're really pathetic. You were once a powerful figure, but now you can only live such a humble life. Outside, it's all about 'the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked,' completely forgetting that you were the one who created the Xiao family's golden age!"
"Now, the whole world revolves around Xiao Mingyang, and he has completely erased your contributions to the Xiao family. He has also torn the once-prosperous Xiao family apart, turning it into a hollow shell. In my opinion, it won't be long before the Xiao family is ruined by Xiao Mingyang! With his abilities, it would be easy for him to make the Xiao family thrive. I don't know what he's thinking."
Si Wen's words hit Xiao Jincheng's sore spot. He never expected that his years of painstaking efforts would end up causing the Xiao family to fall to such a state; he had practically become the Xiao family's sinner! But helplessly, all of Xiao Jincheng's cards had been taken away by Xiao Mingyang, and now even his broken body was under Xiao Mingyang's control. He really didn't know what he could use to fight Xiao Mingyang anymore.
Seeing Xiao Jincheng's face full of shame and indignation, Si Wen smirked triumphantly and slowly approached Xiao Jincheng, deliberately provoking his sensitive and fragile nerves.
