Xie Zhuzhou lost control of his temper for a moment, and despite the shocked looks from those around him, he skillfully turned the tables and said, "Really, you shouldn't always lose your temper when you're getting old; it's bad for your health."
"Look, you get angry as soon as I say something right, and look how badly you've ruined everything."
Master Elder Ji stared in disbelief at his expensive golden nanmu cane, which had been with him for many years, now completely broken. His cloudy eyes gradually turned to horror as he looked at Xie Zhuzhou as if he were a monster. He was so shocked that his throat felt like it was being choked, and for a moment he couldn't utter a single curse.
He slumped weakly onto the sofa, his body going limp, and murmured, "What a tragedy, what a tragedy..."
Xie Zhuzhou touched his nose and turned to look at his father and several older brothers.
Just as the old man was about to roll his eyes, Ji Wangchen to the back, and the medical team immediately rushed up and carried the old man away, who was starting to have difficulty breathing. Their movements were so smooth that they didn't make the slightest noise.
If the old man doesn't get treatment soon, he probably won't make it through the night; he'll be driven to death by his brother's nuclear-powerful temper.
Ji Wuqiu sat on the sofa, his gaze shifting to the floor, looking at the golden nanmu cane that was shattered into pieces, his eyes filled with surprise, admiration, and pride.
As expected of his son!
Ji Wangyun remained standing there, dumbfounded, his expression frozen in that instant. He was so shocked by Xie Zhuzhou's sudden strength that he hadn't recovered yet.
The density of Phoebe zhennan wood ranges from 0.7 to 0.85 g/cm³, and its hardness ranges from 1680 to 1940 N, which is considered to be in the category of high density and relatively high hardness.
It is incomparable to an ordinary wooden stick.
Even he, and the third brother, could not possibly demonstrate this level of grip strength.
The eldest brother Ji Wangchen, would practice boxing and strength training in his spare time. But even the eldest brother couldn't possibly crush the entire stick evenly from the tail. At first, Xie Zhuzhou only managed to pinch a few cracks, but after letting go, the stick shattered into pieces.
Ji Wangyun wondered to himself, "Is this the kind of strength a normal person could muster?"
Is this correct?
Standing calmly to the side, the third brother Ji Wangyan, was also deeply shocked. He began to recall the incident at the polo field—was the horse's sudden change of direction truly a coincidence?
If not, then... Ling Zhenhe is truly lucky to have offended his underlings and still survived; that kid got off easy.
"You didn't hurt your hand, did you?" Ji Wangchen glanced at Xie Zhuzhou.
Xie Zhuzhou opened his left hand, his slender fingers slightly red.
"I'm fine. Grandpa should be alright, right?"
"It's not a big problem, as long as he's alive." Ji Wangchen said calmly.
Xie Zhuzhou's hands have no calluses at all; could he be born with superhuman strength?
Ji Wangchen was puzzled, but he wouldn't ask. This might be the youngest son's trump card. He glanced at it, then turned and instructed the servants to clean the tea area in the living room.
Ji Wangyun, who was usually very talkative, was suddenly silenced. She reflected on whether she had offended her younger brother and decided that she should tone it down a bit in the future.
Xie Zhuzhou was puzzled as to why no one was asking, why didn't anyone ask?!
But then I thought about it again. Ji Wangyun such a good fighter, and his eldest and third brothers often do strength training and spar on the octagonal platform in the rooftop sports area. This level of strength is probably nothing out of the ordinary among the Ji Family.
With that thought in mind, Xie Zhuzhou felt relieved. As long as it wasn't too outrageous, it was fine to use it in front of others.
Because the commotion of Master Elder Ji being carried out that night was so great, the ambulance siren blared for a long time, making it impossible for the wealthy neighbors not to know.
By the next day, Xie Zhuzhou's fame had spread far and wide once again.
The entire elite social circle is discussing whether Xie Zhuzhou is a violent maniac, and he is even being used as a negative example by parents. Xie Zhuzhou's evil label has been added to the list, creating another glorious chapter.
Chu Family's father lost all hope, and Master Elder Ji couldn't persuade Ji Wuqiu's sons. On his first day in the detention center, Chu Yu was beaten black and blue, crying and wailing that he wanted to get out.
Chu's father even considered finding a substitute for him to go in, but the matter was getting bigger and bigger, and rumors were starting to circulate online that the heir to the Chu Group was a lawbreaker. Unfortunately, he was being watched and couldn't make any other moves.
Although the negative news was suppressed, it indirectly affected the company's stock price.
In just a few days, the Chu Family, which was already outwardly strong but inwardly weak, faced another crisis. If things continued like this, bankruptcy was only a matter of time.
He began to regret kicking Chu Yanzhang out; he should have given him a chance. Now, just looking at this useless son annoyed him.
Chu Yanzhang is not actually his biological son. He was born to his wife and another man before their marriage, and the paternity test only showed his wife's paternity.
If it weren't for the help this woman provided, he would have killed Chu Yanzhang long ago, instead of simply throwing him out at birth.
Chu Yanzhang should be grateful, how dare he disobey him?
His agitated mood gradually turned his expression cold, and he didn't want to pay attention to his youngest son's crying.
"Dad! Please, please get me out of here! I was wrong, I'll never do it again."
"We can only try our best to get you a reduced sentence; don't think about anything else. Just reflect on your actions while you're in there."
"No!!"
Chu Yu's face, still swollen from the bee sting, was attacked again. The attacker took advantage of him just as he finished taking off his pants in the bathroom, leaving him no chance to escape. He was brutally beaten by Kuang Kuang, and he passed out before he could even see who did it!
Watching his father's indifferent back, Chu Yu, separated by the glass wall, felt utterly remorseful.
He shouldn't have provoked those lunatics from the Ji Family.
It must have been them! They sent people here to teach him a lesson!

Parasol Tree Residential Complex
Chu Yanzhang was listening to an audio drama when he was interrupted by Wu Chang entering the room.
"Boss, I need to talk to you about something."
"Explain."
"I heard that Mr. Xie angered his grandfather so much yesterday that he had to be taken to the emergency room overnight."
"That old man's health wasn't good to begin with, how could he have been angered by him? He's in poor health, yet he's wandering around trying to scam people."
Wu Chang: "..." You've been wandering around quite a bit even when you're blind, otherwise how would you have run into Mr. Xie?
"Originally, there weren't many people invited to the banquet, but because of this incident, the number of people who want to attend Mr. Xie's birthday banquet has doubled. They all want to see what Mr. Xie is really like; they're all very curious."
Chu Yanzhang frowned slightly, "?"
"Those people are waiting to make things difficult for Mr. Xie. This banquet was originally hosted by the Ji Family's old residence for Xie Zhuzhou. Now that it's turned into such a mess, they're definitely even more eager to sabotage it."
It's one thing for people within the Ji Family to want to target Mr. Xie, but even those with wicked natures want to go and see him."
"So?"
"So I wanted to ask you if we should take some precautions."
"Send more people in."
"Aren't you worried about Mr. Xie being bullied? Then you just stick close to him and see how Mr. Xie shines." Wu Chang chuckled inwardly, wondering if their boss would still think Mr. Xie was kind after learning his true colors.
I heard that there are so many people who are so angry with Mr. Xie that they could fill several trucks.
Chu Yanzhang nodded. "I'll handle it when the time comes. Have you all prepared everything else?"
He can no longer be called Rongxuan; he has to change it. It's fine if the assistants around him find out while they're chatting, but no one else can know Xie Zhuzhou's courtesy name.
Wu Chang: "It's all prepared. We've replaced most of the waiters at the banquet with our own people."
How are the Chu Family members doing now?
"As you instructed, everything has been arranged for Chu Yu. Once he's inside, he'll definitely behave well."
Chu Yanzhang looked displeased. "Not enough. The Chu Family has been too idle lately. Why not sell the Chu Family shares to their rivals at a low price?"
Wu Chang: "Okay."
Chu Yanzhang, as if recalling something, said slowly, "Go and deal with the Ling Family, the An Family..."
