Girl, I'll Teach You Cultivation

Chapter 135

Tang Zhengping lost control merely for a moment, after which a strange smile floated onto his face. His words were full of surprise, "Wonderful, indeed wonderful. Make a call to the police department and tell them Jiang Xiu is here. Also, tell them to bring over Jiang Yi and his wife. We shall settle all debts today."

The housekeeper-like man affirmed then left to make the call.

Soon after, a youth walked in with an easy-going pace. He didn't appear much dejected or angry, instead was very calm.

The rage in Tang Zhengping's heart soared up when he saw Jiang Xiu. The person before him was the one who had killed his son!

"Secretary Tang, you aren't going to ask me to sit?"

"Sit!" Tang Zhengping sneered.

After taking a seat, Jiang Xiu gazed towards Cheng Hanlin and his family, "What a coincidence. So Uncle Cheng's family is also here as a guest."

"What were you chatting about? Some kind of conspiracy I suppose? On how to scheme against my Jiang family again?"

"Little Xiu, you must not misunderstand…"

There was nothing to misunderstand here when everything was in clear view. These words were difficult to believe after what he had done 12 years ago. If he were determinate, he wouldn't have come here at all. Let alone, a person who had done such a thing once 12 years ago was more likely to do it again.

"There's nothing to misunderstand. Your father-in-law promised me to testify against you in court."

"Testify what?"

"Testify that you murdered my son deliberately…" His lips trembled as he said this, feeling irreconcilable hatred.

Cheng Hanlin wished to say something but didn't say anything in the end. The evidence of the crime he had committed 12 years ago was in Tang Zhengping's hands. It was as easy as crushing an ant for Tang Zhengping to deal with Cheng Hanlin.

Jiang Xiu looked at the Cheng family, his gaze sweeping past Cheng Lingsu. She avoided his gaze, lowering her head down in guilt. It isn't like that. He's forcing my father with evidence he has of my father's crime

She wished to say these words but couldn't tell them because she felt that framing someone was a very dishonorable matter.

"So to say, you plan to exterminate my Jiang family to take revenge for your son?"

Tang Zhengping slapped the table in anger, "That's right!"

"You bastard! Who do you think you are? Son of a bitch. Y-You actually killed my son. My son's soul won't rest in peace even if I cut you into a thousand pieces."

"I'm going to crush your entire family."

"Oh? Then let's see whether you have the ability to do it."

Tang Zhengping asked, "See whether I have the ability to do it?"

"I'll let you experience my Tang family's ability then."

The sounds of sirens came from outside soon after he said this. The police entered the courtyard along with Jiang Yi and his wife. Jiang Xiu stood up, an awful glint flashing through his eyes when he saw his parents being escorted by the police.

"Father, Mother, are you okay?"

"SON!"

Jiang Yi called out excitedly while tears dropped from Lin Yueling's eyes.

Tang Zhengping couldn't help but clap, "What a moving scene. The entire family has reunited, but it's a pity that you won't be able to see each other after today."

"Tang Zhengping, you can do whatever you want to me but release my son."

"Release your son?"

"Are you an idiot? This bastard is the one who killed my Zhiming, my only son, and you want me to let him go?"

"The child is innocent. He only wanted to take revenge for me. This grudge had started in our generation so we should end it with us. There's no need to let it continue to the next generation."

"Next generation?" Tang Zhengping asked, "What next generation? My son is dead, and your son will pay with his life for it."

"Tang Zhengping, I admit defeat. I'm not equal to you on any aspect. Let my son go. A lowly commoner like me isn't worthy of being your opponent."

Tang Zhengping groaned, "Hah! You have realized it too late. Do you know why you lost to me back then?"

Cheng Hanlin lowered his head, his hands clenching the armrest tightly.

"It was because of your good brother. I only used the Jiangdong Kerosene Factory area as a bait, and he sold you. Didn't he tell you that he's suffering due to me? That his company couldn't hold on anymore?"

"He deceived you, idiot. The purpose was to make you believe that he was being suppressed by me because of you. You'll feel guilty that way and make a mistake. He gathered evidence against you so that he could get that land."

Jiang Yi's eyes grew hazy as if he had received a shock.

"I-Impossible…"

His relationship with Cheng Hanlin was very close in those days. He treated him the same as one would a brother. They had even set down a marriage agreement between their children and were like a big family.

"Why don't you ask him if you don't believe me? Hear it from his own mouth…"

Cheng Hanlin didn't dare to raise his head, trembling all over. This kind of reaction was already told everything there was to say.

Lin Yueling was also dazed. Tang Zhengping was Jiang Yi's political enemy back then. They were both outstanding people and had gradually become arch-enemies. When their relationship was at the worst point, Cheng Hanlin's company was harassed by Tang Zhengping. Jiang Yi and Lin Yueling both believed that Cheng Hanlin got involved into this because of them… but it seemed like all of it was a lie!

"Not only that. He was the one who gathered evidence on the rules you had broken. As you had done it so secretively, who else except the benefiter, Cheng Hanlin, could find it out?"

Jiang Yi felt as if lightning had struck him. He couldn't understand how the evidence had fallen into Tang Zhengping's hands back then. He had thought over it when he had spent time in jail. After seeing the Cheng Conglomerate develop so fast, he had already perceived it vaguely but didn't wish to confirm his thoughts.

The others were stupefied as well.

Cheng Lingsu's gaze was filled with disbelief too.

"Why?"

Jiang Yi roared, "Cheng Hanlin, tell me how did I let you down that you did such a thing to me?"

'

Cheng Hanlin knelt down on the floor with his head still lowered, "Brother Yi, I'm sorry. I was too greedy then and didn't think the matter would become so grave. I thought you would get demoted at most and lose the qualifications to compete with Tang Zhengping. I wasn't expecting him to act so ruthlessly by sending you to prison."

"I've already received retribution for it! I have nothing anymore!"

"I only have my life left. If you can't bear your anger, why don't you kill me then?"

Jiang Yi felt that this kind of person was better dead than alive. His brother who he viewed the same as kin had done such a thing.

Jiang Yi dashed ahead and grabbed the fruit knife from the dining table, but he couldn't do it after all.

"Kill him. Isn't he saying to kill him?"

"Jiang Yi, you'll lose any chances if you don't kill him. He was going to testify that your entire family conspired to kill my son. Even if the judge doesn't pass the death sentence, it'd would at least be lifelong imprisonment."

At this moment, everyone's breathing stopped from the nervousness.

A calm voice broke through this stifled aura, "No one in this world can send my father to prison. Tang Zhengping, don't think you can do anything you want."

"You believe you can cover up the entire heavens by relying on your position as the Secretary of Ninghai City's municipal committee as well as the Tang family's support? Keep dreaming."

"Can you decide our crime?"

Jiang Yi calmed down after hearing Jiang Xiu's words. The case had not gone to court yet. Although he didn't have faith in the Jiang family, he didn't believe the Jiang family and the Lin family would act indifferent if their entire family were sentenced.

Tang Zhengping furrowed his brows after seeing Jiang Yi calm down. His scheme was interrupted by this brat. "Chief Ling, take Jiang Xiu to another room and make him write a confession."

"Jiang Xiu, follow me."

Jiang Xiu didn't refuse and stood up. Lin Yueling grabbed his hand nervously, but he consoled her, "It's fine. Just remember what I said to you. I'll make you the most respected woman of this world."

He followed Chief Ling after saying this.

He didn't have any intentions to stop what was happening here. If his father wished to kill Cheng Hanlin to vent his anger, he wouldn't stop him. He believed that a person who sold his friend should be killed.

The servant outside the door came in to inform at this moment, "Secretary Tang, Qin Baichuan has arrived."

"What did he come here for?"

Qin Baichuan was the godfather of Ninghai City's underworld.

"Mr. Qin, what brings you here?"

"I have come here to provide support to Mr. Jiang."

One car after other stopped outside Tang Zhengping's house door after that. All the people who got down from it were all big shots of Ninghai City.
