Wang Shuqin looked at Jiang Fan and asked in confusion, " Xiao Fan, what exactly happened?"
Tang Fugui also looked over, his brows furrowed.
Tang Guo grabbed Jiang Fan's arm, "It must be Jiang Youtian's fault, it has nothing to do with Brother Fan! Brother Fan, am I right?"
Seeing how much Tang Guo trusted him, Jiang Fan smiled with satisfaction.
"Yes, Guoguo is right."
After saying this, he looked up and stared straight ahead.
"Because he tried to kill me, Instructor Wei reported him and disqualified him from the martial arts exam."
"What?!" Tang Fugui and Wang Shuqin exclaimed in surprise, their voices trembling slightly.
Tang Fugui swallowed hard, scrutinizing his own son with disbelief.
"You—you're going to kill Xiao Fan! Jiang Youtian, how could you do this?!"
Tang Fugui had no doubt about what Jiang Fan said. If it weren't true, how could Jiang Youtian have been disqualified from the martial arts exam?
"You bastard! You beast! You have absolutely no conscience! If you hadn't been switched at birth in the hospital, do you think you'd be some young master of the Jiang Family? You've been clinging to Xiao Fan's identity for so many years, using schemes and tricks to expel Xiao Fan from the Jiang Family, taking his identity, his family, everything for yourself, and now you even want to kill him! You—are you even human?! I'll beat you up, you little beast!"
Tang Fugui was furious and raised his hand to slap Jiang Youtian across the face.
"Hit me! Go ahead and hit me! You can kill me if you want!"
Jiang Youtian showed no intention of dodging. "In your hearts, Jiang Fan is your biological son, and I, who am related to you by blood, am just a stranger. Go ahead and hit me! Why aren't you hitting me anymore? I'm going to be disqualified from the martial arts exam anyway, and the Jiang Family won't give me a friendly look. Since that's the case, I might as well just be beaten to death now!"
Seeing Jiang Youtian's attitude, Tang Fugui's hand, which was raised in mid-air, remained suspended for a long time, he was so angry that he couldn't bring himself to lower it.
"Why did you stop fighting?" Jiang Youtian looked at Tang Fugui with his arms crossed, looking incredibly infuriating.
Tang Fugui was so angry that his chest heaved and his head spun. Finally, he slowly lowered his hand, pointed towards the door, and said, "You leave. You leave now."
"I'm not leaving!" Jiang Youtian raised his voice. "I came to you today because I want Jiang Fan to plead with Instructor Wei not to report this and disqualify me from the martial arts exam."
"I said, no way," Jiang Fan said expressionlessly.
Jiang Youtian laughed, a somewhat twisted laugh.
"Fine, you don't have to tell me. Anyway, I can't participate in the martial arts exam, and the Jiang Family won't welcome me anymore. Since that's the case, I might as well die. I'll die in your house, right in front of you. Tang Fugui, Wang Shuqin, I was born of you. Today I want to see if you can bear to see me die in front of you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Youtian pulled a sharp knife from his pocket and pointed it at his heart.
This scene shocked the Tang Family.
"You-- Youtian --What are you doing? Don't--Don't do anything reckless!"
Jiang Youtian's lips curled into a sinister smile as he looked at Jiang Fan provocatively.
Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes, which were gleaming with a cold light, and stared at him coldly.
Wang Shuqin ran over, her eyes red.
Even though she knew Jiang Youtian was a scoundrel, he was still her own flesh and blood, and she couldn't bear to watch Jiang Youtian die in front of her.
Jiang Youtian expressed great satisfaction with Tang Fugui and Wang Shuqin's performance.
"You have ten seconds to get Jiang Fan to call Instructor Wei, or I'll die right here in front of you."
Tang Fugui and Wang Shuqin were torn between their own son and their beloved Xiao Fan.
If Jiang Fan hadn't been lucky enough to survive Jiang Youtian's attack, they might be seeing Jiang Fan's corpse lying in front of them right now.
With this in mind, they simply couldn't bring themselves to ask Jiang Fan to make the call.
"Say something! Huh? Speak up!" Jiang Youtian shouted, raising his voice. "Fine! Fine! Fine! You won't talk, huh? Then I'll—"
Jiang Youtian took a sharp dagger and stabbed it into his own chest.
"Ah!" Wang Shuqin covered her eyes, trembling all over.
Tang Fugui was no better off than Wang Shuqin; his face was ashen.
At this critical moment, Jiang Fan spoke.
"I can call Instructor Wei."
Jiang Youtian stopped what he was doing with just one sentence. Wang Shuqin and Tang Fugui recovered from their shock and looked guilty, not daring to look at Jiang Fan.
"Hehehe..." Jiang Youtian laughed triumphantly.
"However, I have one condition," Jiang Fan said.
"You say."
Jiang Fan looked at Tang Fugui and his wife and said, "Don't come looking for them again. Whether they live or die, you have nothing to do with them anymore."
This is why Jiang Fan agreed to Jiang Youtian's request. It wasn't because Jiang Youtian threatened him, but simply because he didn't want Tang Fugui and the others to suffer because of Jiang Youtian in the future.
"Okay, I promise."
Jiang Youtian raised three fingers. "I, Jiang Youtian, hereby swear to the heavens that from this day forward, I completely sever all ties with Tang Fugui and Wang Shuqin. From now on, they will go their own way, and I will go mine. We will have nothing to do with each other in life or death!"
Tang Fugui and Wang Shuqin stared blankly at Jiang Youtian's resolute rejection. While disappointed and heartbroken, they felt more relieved and liberated.
From that day forward, they had only one son—their biological son—and that was Jiang Fan!
Jiang Youtian was just a passerby in their lives.
Jiang Fan took out his phone and called Wei Cangyue.
"Yes, I'm sure. The matter of Jiang Youtian trying to kill me is dropped. No, no one threatened me, really. Okay, then I'll leave it to Instructor Wei."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Fan said calmly, " Jiang Youtian, I've done what you asked for. I hope you'll keep your promise."
Jiang Youtian breathed a sigh of relief, then said, "I, Jiang Youtian, keep my word, and I have already sworn an oath. If I break my promise, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death, my future ruined, and my body torn to pieces."
After saying that, Jiang Youtian casually tossed the dagger aside. " Jiang Fan, Jiang Fan, why did you give up being the young master of the Jiang Family to become the son of this couple from the slums? I really don't know what you were thinking."
Jiang Fan walked over and looked directly at Jiang Youtian.
"Because in your heart, family ties are worthless; only those who can bring you benefits are your primary criteria for selection. The Jiang Family is the same; they don't need a son with blood ties, as long as he can bring them benefits and create value. So in this respect, you and the Jiang Family are truly birds of a feather."
Jiang Youtian nodded, "You're right. Birds of a feather flock together. The Jiang Family and I are family, while you, who grew up in the slums, only deserve to be family with the Tang Family, hahaha--"
