Chapter 420: Thorough investigation
A vain attempt to assassinate the master to rece him? This isn''t just an ordinary offense...
The white-bearded elder''s words resonated throughout the entire room. Everyone kept silent in fear.
The white-bearded elder was Si Ye Han''s grandfather''s second younger brother, Si Ming Rong. In
other words, he was Si Ye Han''s second great uncle. He held the highest position and prestige in
the n; even the old madam would discuss many issues with him and listen to his opinions.
In the family, he was equivalent to aw enforcer and had been faithful and true towards the Si
family all these years. He did his best to support the master of the household and was never afraid
of offending anyone.
The moment Si Ming Rong said those words, almost everyone turned towards the elder dressed in
a western suit, sitting in the corner and sipping his tea leisurely.
The elder in a western suit seemed to be around 60 over years old. Seeing that everyone was
staring at him, his face turned slightly dark. *cough* "Uncle Rong, how could you put it that way?"
This person was Si Ye Han''s father''s cousin, Si Huai Liang, third great uncle''s son. Previously, when
Si Ye Han''s father, Si Huai Zhang, passed away, Si Ye Han and a few of the uncles fought like
demons. Until Si Ye Han seized the position of head of the Si family many yearster, those people
kept eyeing that seat.
Especially Si Huai Liang. He loved pulling strings and forming cliques. He caused a scene several
times when he was drunk, disying his dissatisfaction towards Si Ye Han and criticizing him for
usurping the position when he was just a newbie. He even threatened to find someone to kill him.
Hence, it was no wonder that everyone''s first instinct was to me him.
The white-bearded elder swept a stern gaze at Si Huai Liang. "It was just a guess; why are you so
paranoid? Unless you''re the one who sent those people?"
Si Huai Liang immediately became agitated. "Uncle Rong! You can''t speak your mind like that! I
think it''s a little hurtful that we get suspicious of our own family members just by relying on these
people''s words without any evidence! Don''t you all agree?"
When the others heard that, they also spoke up one after another: "Uncle Rong''s suspicions aren''t
without reason, but this is such a serious usation! Of course, we need to investigate thoroughly
and find substantial proof!"
"That''s right, the master of our family is now seriously ill and in aa. We''re without a leader; we
can''t have disorder amongst our own people!"
The white-bearded elder eximed harshly, "Of course we''ll investigate! And we must start from our
own people! As long as none of you have done anything wrong, what disorder will there be?"
The old madam took a deep breath and opened her eyes. When she considered how her grandson
nearly lost his life, her eyes scanned every single one of them icily. All of a sudden, she said, "Uncle
Zhong is right. Since we don''t have any evidence, we''ll investigate till we do! We''ll start internally.
Everyone must cooperate with the investigation - otherwise, you''ll be treated as the traitor!"
"I''ve already warned all of you umpteen times - internal strife is strictly prohibited. No attacking each
other. If I find that anyone dared to vite this, you will not be let off lightly!"
Si Huai Liang curled his lips and didn''t dare to object. He said, "Yes, yes, yes great aunt, I will
definitely cooperate! But I just want to make this small deration - great aunt, you know me best. I
have a sharp tongue, but I mean well. Although I made some poorly-thought-outments before, I
would never, ever do something like this to Ah-Jiu! I hope you''ll have a thorough investigation!"Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
The old madam gave him a sidelong nce. "As long as you didn''t do it, you won''t be wrongly
used!"
Once the old madam finished speaking, she turned to the old housekeeper and ordered, "Pass on
my order. Within three days..."
The old madam was about to give her orders when an elder sitting at the corner in a navy blue Tang
suit lit up and eximed all of a sudden, "Hold it!"
