Chapter 456 Quarreling and Questioning
Jiang Tao rushed back to the Jiang family in the capital city. The first thing he did was to look for his grandfather.
He asked angrily, “Why?”
Old Master Jiang was very displeased with his grandson’s disrespectful attitude towards him.
He frowned and placed the teacup in his hand heavily on the table. He asked sternly, “Bastard, what kind of attitude is this?”
Jiang Tao sneered and asked in a self-deprecating manner, “Grandfather, what kind of attitude do you think I should have? You almost killed my friend’s wife because you think Gong Tianhao’s wife is the woman I like.
“If Tianhao didn’t have the ability to protect her, she would probably have been thrown into the river to feed the fish already, right? Grandfather, don’t you think you should give me an explanation?”
When he said this, Old Master Jiang’s expression turned extremely ugly and gloomy.
He said coldly, “Explanation? What kind of explanation do you want me to give you? That’s right, I got the wrong information and almost killed her.
“But, I didn’t succeed. Isn’t that woman still alive? On the contrary, our family has lost two assassins. Jiang Tao, you should know what that means. Shouldn’t Gong Tianhao give our family an explanation instead?”
Jiang Tao was angered by his grandfather’s shameless words and laughed.
He laughed coldly and said, “Grandfather, you sent people to kill his wife. He retaliated and gave you a small warning. Do you actually think he owes you an explanation? Grandpa, how can you be so shameless?”.
“Bastard, how can you talk to me like that?” Old Master Jiang shouted sternly. He gave Jiang Tao a heavy slap.
“Bastard, who gave you the courage to talk to me like that?” Old Master Jiang said very sternly, “Jiang Tao, do you think you’re much better than me now? How dare you talk back to me?”
Jiang Tao did not avoid his grandfather’s slap. His sharp eyes looked at Old Master Jiang very seriously as he said very firmly, “Grandfather, I’m only focusing on the morality of the incident and not the people behind it!”
Old Master Jiang was so angry. He pointed angrily at Jiang Tao and scolded, “Bastard, are you crazy? You actually have the guts to question me!”
He paused at this point and shot a sharp gaze at Jiang Tao’s face. A sneer appeared on his cold face, “Let me tell you, Jiang Tao. I have never had the reason to explain myself to anyone before. But, you want to reason with me, right?” He nodded and said, “Fine, I’ll reason with you. Butler, go to the study and bring me the knife. Today, I’ll have a good chat with the eldest young master.”
When Butler Jiang heard this, his expression immediately changed. This meant that the old master was really angry.
He immediately ran to Jiang Tao and persuaded him, “Eldest young master, you need to apologize to the old master. If the old master really employs the family law…”
Jiang Tao pursed his lips tightly, and his gaze was fixed on the old master’s eyes. He was stubborn.
He completely ignored butler Jiang’s persuasion. Butler Jiang could only shake his head helplessly.
The eldest young master had only been subjected to the family law once since he was born. That one time almost took his life. He didn’t expect this would happen away. He knew that the old master was actually soft-hearted towards the young master despite his appearance. As long as the eldest young master apologized and admitted his mistake, the old master would give him a way out.
However, the eldest young master was so stubborn. Butler Jiang explained earnestly, “Eldest young master, we didn’t know that girl is Young Master Gong’s wife. Someone has purposely misled the old master…”
Jiang Tao said sharply, “So if there was no misinformation, grandfather would really kill her simply because I like her?”
Butler Jiang, “…” How am I supposed to answer that? Young Master is right, but I can’t say it out loud.
Butler Jiang smiled bitterly and persuaded him, “Young master, the old master is doing this for your own good!”
“For my own good?!” Jiang Tao said with disdain. “So the murder is going to be committed for my own good?” “Bastard, what nonsense is that?!” Old Master Jiang was furious. He turned to Butler Jiang, “Don’t waste your breath on him. Quickly take out the big knife in my study.”
Old Master Jiang had done everything for Jiang Tao. However, his grandson didn’t appreciate his kindness at all. He was really furious.
Butler Jiang felt helpless. He sighed quietly. “Both grandfather and grandson are stubborn.”
He turned to the study and took out the broadsword that had followed Old Master Jiang to the battlefield and killed countless enemies.
However, he moved very slowly. He knew that the old master did not really want to enforce the family law against the eldest young master. After Butler Jiang left, Jiang Tao stood there stubbornly and firmly. The old man sat in his seat with a stern and gloomy expression. He didn’t expect his usually obedient grandson would go against him because of this matter. He suspected Gong Tianhao had whispered some inciting words in Jiang Tao’s ears.
Jiang Tao pursed his lips tightly, and his face was very cold. Then, he suddenly asked, “Who gave you the wrong information?”.
He knew that this person was a danger to Xiao Lingyu. Gong Tianhao had launched his investigation. Jiang Tao had to follow up too.
Old Master Jiang said unhappily, “Other than your fiancée, who else could it be?” Old Master Jiang naturally blamed Qin Yan for making him lose two of his family assassins.
“Qin Yan?” Jiang Tao furrowed his brows tightly and was a little surprised.
“Who else could it be?” Old Master Jiang said very angrily, “This young lady is so shrewd and scheming at such a young age.
“She somehow got a photo of Gong Tianhao and his wife. But she swapped Gong Tianhao’s face for yours and showed it to me!” Old Master Jiang sounded aggrieved.
Jiang Tao was surprised. ‘So that is what happened. The person who wanted to kill Xiao Lingyu is Qin Yan.’ Jiang Tao still found it hard to believe. In his impression, Qin Yan had always been obedient and kind. She wasn’t even willing to hurt an ant, so how could she have such a scheme to kill someone else?
Jiang Tao asked sharply, “Then why did she do
it?”
Old Master Jiang was furious at this question. It suggested that Jiang Tao didn’t believe him. He pointed at Jiang Tao and questioned loudly, “Don’t you believe me? Are you suspecting me of framing your fiance?”

Jiang Tao pursed his lips and didn’t answer. Old Master Jiang was really infuriated. He said, “Good, the eldest daughter of the Qin family really has some tricks up her sleeves. “While she strings you along, she is thinking about that brat, Gong Tianhao. She actually wanted to use my hands to get rid of her love rival.”
Jiang Tao immediately understood everything.
Qin Yan liked Gong Tianhao.
She somehow found the photo of Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu together. She changed the male lead of the photo from Gong Tianhao to Jiang Tao. That was to make his grandfather believe that Jiang Tao was with Xiao Lingyu. With his grandfather’s personality, he would definitely go after Xiao Lingyu.
After thinking this through, Jiang Tao said with certainty, “So, all of this was done by Qin Yan?”
Old Master Jiang glared at him and said loudly, “What do you think? Hmph!”
At this moment, Butler Jiang took out the big knife. He walked up to Old Master Jiang and said, “Master.”
Old Master Jiang glared at the butler with dissatisfaction.
Butler Jiang could only smile bitterly. He was in a difficult position. He couldn’t just go against his old master’s order even though he knew it was just an empty threat. When Jiang Tao saw the big knife, he unbuttoned his shirt without a word and knelt down.
Obviously, he was not afraid of the family law.
