Chapter 20 The Tian Family's Conspiracy
Ye Ling slowly stepped forward, looking down at Tian Wu on the ground and said, "I ask you, was it under your Tian family's instruction that my Ye family was destroyed all those years ago?"
Startled by the question, Tian Wu gave him a double take and exclaimed, "You... you're the Ye family's bastard, you're still alive?"
Ye Ling's expression turned frosty as he stomped on Tian Wu's knee, grinding his joints into powder, and said coldly, "Speak, why did you target the Ye family back then?"
In agony, Tian Wu wanted to roll around but was pinned down firmly to the ground by Ye Ling's foot. He curled up like an earthworm, crying miserably, "We had no choice! The several reclusive families, only your Ye family didn't want to join Batang, it was all instructed from above!"
"Batang, it's always you!" Ye Ling's eyes turned icy as he kicked Tian Wu away, watching him tumble down the stairs like a ball, and said coldly, "Go back and tell the people of the Tian family, on the third day from now, on the anniversary of my parents' death, I will personally visit the Tian family and use your heads to pay respects to my parents!"
Having said that, he left the luxurious club with Su Rou.
When the two of them returned to the Su family courtyard, they were stopped by the security guard just as they were about to enter.
"What are you doing?" Su Rou asked with confusion.
"The old master is now very ill. Following the orders of Young Master Su Jun, we do not allow outsiders to enter the Su residence!" The security guard spoke sternly, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes.
An adopted granddaughter and a son-in-law from the outside, as well as two outsiders, dreaming to compete with the Su family's first grandson, was simply courting death.
"Grandfather is seriously ill? I need to see him!" Su Rou's face showed urgency, and she tried to push past the security guard, but he shoved her back forcefully, saying harshly, "Su Rou, did you not understand what I said? Young Master Su Jun has spoken. He is in charge of the Su family now, and he has already driven you out of the Su family. You no longer have the right to step foot into the Su residence ever again!"
"No, how could Su Jun do this, I am the granddaughter raised by grandfather, how can I not see him at a time like this?" Su Rou fell to her knees in tears, appearing powerless.
At that moment, Su Jun came out with Su Ya and others, casting a derisive glance at the two, "Su Rou, if you really want to step through the Su family gates, it's not impossible."
Su Rou's face brightened as she bowed and pleaded, "Su Jun, cousin, please, just let me see Grandfather, I'll do anything you ask."
"Cousin, you don't need to be afraid. I'll contact Young Master Tian in a moment and have him send a martial artist from the Tian family to cripple him in front of Su Rou, that wretch. Then we'll see if he still dares to be arrogant in front of us!" Su Ya said with hatred, her eyes filled with a sense of satisfaction.
"Good, with Young Master Tian taking action, that beast Ye Ling is as good as dead!" Su Jun nodded, then his face lit up with joy as he said, "Cousin, you have great vision, finding a strong support in Young Master Tian. Our Su family's rise to glory will depend on you from now on!"
"Heh, cousin, rest assured, I'm not Su Rou, that ingrate who found trouble by being with someone like Ye Ling!"
The two nodded secretly and headed toward the sickroom.
Inside the sickroom, Ye Ling couldn't hide his shock.
In the short time he had left, the old man had lost a considerable amount of weight; his skin was clinging to his bones, and his face was even paler.
"What's going on with the old man? Has a doctor examined him?" Ye Ling asked, frowning.
"Heh, Ye Ling, is this a place where you can speak? You're merely a son-in-law who married in, don't go around giving orders here!" Su Ya's father, Su Tiande, said with a heavy voice, his eyes showing dissatisfaction.
"Exactly, Ye Ling, you're not a doctor. Do you think you know how to treat illnesses?" the people of the Su family scoffed, their faces filled with scorn.
Ye Ling ignored them and felt the old man's pulse, then frowned and said, "This, the old man has been poisoned!"
"Poisoned, what nonsense are you talking about?" A middle-aged man in a white coat came in; a stethoscope hung around his neck as he gestured to the crowd, "Old Master Su is of advanced age. It's definitely a recurrence of a stroke. He must be transferred to a major hospital for treatment immediately."
Su Rou glanced at Ye Ling, doubtful, "Expert Lin, is grandfather's condition really a stroke? He's never shown these symptoms before. Look at how he's withered to skin and bones, and his skin has turned black, hasn't it?"
Expert Lin glanced at her and said coldly, "What now, you doubt my medical skills? I'm a professor at the medical university, a leading expert in internal medicine. Do you think you know more about medicine than I do?"
"That's enough, Su Rou, stop causing trouble. Would Expert Lin be worse than that waste, Ye Ling?" Su Tiande frowned and scolded, then turned his head to look at Expert Lin.
