Chapter 105: Taking Action

Xiao Changqian discussed and meticulously planned everything with Old Lady Xiao last night.

Today, he even specially invited the esteemed members of the Xiao family and set up a three-hall trial format.

Half of it was temptation, and half was threat, intending to force Xiao Changkun to voluntarily hand over the villa.

If he didn’t comply willingly, they would make him!

In his mind, Xiao Changkun was usually timid; even a scolding from his mother would make him tremble. At that time, he would surely hand over the villa obediently.

As for Xiao Churan, he didn’t take her seriously at all. What authority could a married woman have?

Moreover, she was married to a useless man!

And that useless Ye Chen was even less worth mentioning!

A son-in-law living in the Xiao family had no status at all, not even the right to speak!

If he was asked to hand over the villa, he had to do so obediently!

However, Xiao Changqian didn’t expect that when pushed to the limit, Xiao Changkun would dare to retort against the old lady!

Xiao Churan, as a granddaughter, also refused to listen to the old lady!

Even that useless Ye Chen dared to point at the old lady’s nose and insult her as shameless!

“You people are truly rebellious!”

Xiao Changqian gritted his teeth and turned to say, “Mom, we can’t let them leave like this! If we let it go today, won’t the Xiao family be trampled on by them in the future? What authority will you have in the Xiao family then?!”

Old Lady Xiao’s face turned extremely ugly!

She had always had a strong desire for control!

After the old man passed away, she had kept the entire Xiao family under her control, not allowing anyone to challenge her authority.

But unexpectedly, today she faced continuous defiance from Xiao Churan’s family of three, which made her furious!

She screamed hysterically, “The Xiao family is unfortunate to have such a bunch of scoundrels! You are all members of the Xiao family! As long as I am alive, you must listen to me!”

After saying that, Old Lady Xiao shouted sternly, “Close the doors, and let the family law take care of them!”

She had absolute authority in the Xiao family, yet today, the usually obedient Xiao Changkun dared to defy her!

Even her granddaughter and grandson-in-law didn’t take her seriously!

She couldn’t help but wonder how Xiao Changkun usually educated his children to be so unfilial!

If she didn’t punish them severely today, where would her authority as the head of the family be?

Moreover, if they were allowed to leave today, how could they seize the villa in Tangchen Yipin?

Having lived half her life, she had never hoped to live in such a villa. Now that this villa was in her son’s hands, she had to seize it and enjoy it!

Therefore, no matter what, they had to be made to hand over the villa!

Even if they had to leave the Xiao family, the villa must be kept!

Thus, a group of bodyguards and servants immediately surrounded them, encircling the three.

Ye Chen stood in the courtyard of the old house, exuding a powerful aura, coldly watching the bodyguards, and shouted, “Who dares to take a step forward, don’t blame me for being rude!”

“You useless piece of trash, still pretending here!” one of the bodyguards shouted angrily, swinging a stick at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen’s eyes turned cold as he directly snatched the staff from the bodyguard’s hand and countered by striking it against the opponent’s leg.

The bodyguard felt a tremendous force hit his knee and uncontrollably knelt before Ye Chen, his leg actually broken!

Ye Chen didn’t even glance at him, using both hands to exert force, and with a “crack,” he broke the staff into two pieces.

“Clang!”

Ye Chen threw the broken staff to the ground.

The people in the courtyard were stunned.

This staff was made of the hardest yellow elm wood, extremely tough; even two burly men would find it hard to break.

Yet in Ye Chen’s hands, it was as fragile as a piece of noodle, utterly weak!

Ever since he practiced the “Nine Mysterious Heavenly Scripture,” Ye Chen’s strength had grown immensely, and these bodyguards were simply no match for him!

Seeing Ye Chen make a move, Xiao Changkun breathed a sigh of relief.

He hadn’t expected his son-in-law to be so capable! It seemed that he and his daughter would be able to leave the Xiao family safely today!

The bodyguards at the Xiao family’s old house were all arranged by Xiao Changqian, and they were all his trusted subordinates. At this moment, seeing Ye Chen’s strength, they were all somewhat flustered.

Xiao Changqian gritted his teeth and said, “Ye Chen, I didn’t expect you to learn a bit of martial arts, but I wonder how you can handle so many opponents alone! Everyone, attack him together!”

“Right! Attack together, beat him to death!” Xiao Hailong also gritted his teeth, his face showing excitement.

He had suffered losses at Ye Chen’s hands before and was planning to take revenge today!

Upon receiving the order, the bodyguards immediately charged at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen ignored them. Just as several bodyguards lunged at him, he suddenly executed a spinning kick, sending two bodyguards flying.

Then, he threw a series of punches, instantly knocking down the bodyguard at the front!

Xiao Churan, standing behind him, was stunned. She had never imagined that Ye Chen, who spent day and night with her, would be so skilled.

Seeing her daughter’s shocked expression, Xiao Changkun quickly explained, “Churan, while you’re at work, Ye Chen has been at home practicing martial arts in front of the TV.”

“He practices martial arts?”

Xiao Churan found it even more unbelievable.

Xiao Changkun said, “He knows quite a bit! Last time, Qin Gang even asked him for help!”

As he spoke, Xiao Changkun saw Ye Chen fighting off several bodyguards alone and felt a pang of guilt.

The Xiao family had always looked down on Ye Chen, letting him stay at home to buy groceries and cook, but Ye Chen was also a man and had his own dignity.

What man would willingly spend his life doing laundry and cooking at home?

It seemed the family owed Ye Chen a lot!

At this moment, Ye Chen had already knocked down several bodyguards, showing no fear.

The courtyard was in chaos!

Xiao Weiwei and the old lady had long run inside to hide, leaving only men in the courtyard.

Xiao Hailong, watching this, was extremely furious. He hadn’t expected Ye Chen to be so skilled. Seeing Ye Chen gradually gaining the upper hand, Xiao Hailong gritted his teeth, bent down, picked up an axe, and quietly approached. Just as Ye Chen kicked down a bodyguard, he swung the axe down at his head.

“Ye Chen, be careful!”

Xiao Churan saw the sharp glint of the axe and screamed in fright.

“Damn it, useless loser, I’ll chop you to death!”

Xiao Hailong’s old grievances surged up, and he swung down fiercely.

Xiao Changkun was also so scared that his legs went weak, nearly collapsing to the ground.

They… were trying to take Ye Chen’s life!

The axe flashed!

In the blink of an eye, Ye Chen suddenly raised his hand, accurately pinching the axe blade between his fingers, and coldly turned to look at Xiao Hailong.

Xiao Hailong was horrified and desperately tried to pull the axe back.

But Ye Chen’s fingers were like a tiger’s claw; no matter how hard he tried, the steel axe remained unmoved between Ye Chen’s fingers.

Cold sweat broke out on Xiao Hailong’s forehead as he shouted, “Useless, let go of me…”

Ye Chen stared at him, sneering, “Xiao Hailong, you idiot, you can’t even chop someone properly, and you call yourself not useless?”
