Fu Donglai's remark startled Zhao Yang and his men, making them look at Fu Donglai in disbelief. He clearly didn't expect Fu Donglai would actually turn on him.
"Fu Donglai, what the hell is wrong with you? How dare you attack me?" Zhao Yang immediately shouted at Fu Donglai angrily.
At this time, dozens of Fu Donglai's men had already surrounded Zhao Yang and his team.
Fu Donglai had already issued the Execution Order, so just after Zhao Yang was surrounded, the Fu family's guards swarmed immediately.
Neither Zhao Yang nor his men were pushovers; each was quite skilled. However, Fu Donglai had thirty or forty subordinates, so it was barely a fight before Zhao Yang and his men were completely captured.
Zhao Yang and his men were in a sorry state, a stark contrast to their previous swagger.
"Mr. Fu, should we kill them directly?" Zhang Quan looked at Fu Donglai.
Fu Donglai looked at Zhao Yang. At that moment, Zhao Yang also looked at Fu Donglai, glaring angrily and said, "Fu Donglai, are you out of your mind? Do you know what you're doing? If you dare to kill me, your Fu family will disappear forever from Bird City."
Fu Donglai walked up to Zhao Yang, looked at him, and said, "Zhao Yang, don't shout, don't fuss. You're surely going to die today. If you want to know why I'm killing you, fine, I'll give you an explanation. Because I'm following Mr. Ye's orders."
"Mr. Ye?" Zhao Yang laughed out loud upon hearing Fu Donglai's words and said to him, "Damn, Fu Tianjue, Fu Hongyi, and Fu Bin, tell me which of these three wasn't killed by Ye Xiao? And yet you're helping the enemy? Are you being true to the Fu ancestors?"
Fu Donglai's expression was initially serious, but after hearing Zhao Yang's words, he smiled and approached Ye Xiao, saying, "Haha, I didn't realize you're so interested in the Fu family. But since you're about to die, I'll tell you the truth. Among these three, I killed two of them. So you tell me, do I still need to be true to them?"
Fu Donglai's words directly stunned Zhao Yang, who originally wanted to persuade him with words, or it greatly surprised him.
Although Zhao Yang wasn't a decent person either, he absolutely couldn't betray his grandfather and father.
"I really didn't expect that the martial arts prodigy of the Fu family would... would be such a treacherous thing." Zhao Yang looked at Fu Donglai in disbelief.
"So, you die without pity!" After Fu Donglai finished speaking, a knife appeared in his hand at some point, and he stabbed Zhao Yang ruthlessly.
Zhao Yang's subordinates immediately tried to resist but were quickly slashed to death.
As for Zhao Yang, he collapsed in shock into a pool of blood.
"Clean this up properly!" Fu Donglai said with a stern face.
Zhang Quan quickly nodded in agreement and then immediately led the Fu family guards to clean up the corpses in the backyard, while Fu Donglai headed towards the front yard. Time was getting late.
Fu Donglai had just arrived at the front yard when he saw Ye Xiao standing in the corridor. He immediately stepped forward and respectfully said, "Mr. Ye!"
Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Your methods are quite ruthless."
Fu Donglai quickly said, "Those were enemies of Mr. Fu. Whoever is Mr. Fu's enemy is naturally my enemy as well, and I certainly won't show mercy."
Ye Xiao said, "The front yard is in chaos right now. They are all looking for the Fu family members. If you don't go over soon, your father and brother's coffins might become a spectacle for people."
"Yes... yes, I'll go right away." Fu Donglai said to Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao said, "I was planning to go over too, why don't we go together?"
"That would be best!" Fu Donglai quickly said.
Then, Ye Xiao and Fu Donglai went to the main hall in the front yard together.
"Mr. Fu has arrived."
As soon as Fu Donglai and Ye Xiao came over, they immediately attracted a lot of attention, although everyone's focus quickly shifted to Ye Xiao.
Some people didn't know Ye Xiao, so they looked at him out of curiosity.
But there were also some who did know Ye Xiao, and naturally knew the grievances between the Fu family and Ye Xiao. Yet, at this moment, Fu Donglai was walking together with Ye Xiao, and it seemed like the two were getting along quite well.
A location!
"This..." Feng Yang and Feng Hai, the two brothers, stood where the Feng family was situated, looking at Ye Xiao in astonishment.
Feng Hai said, "This can't be a joke, can it? How can Ye Xiao stand together with Fu Donglai? Could it be that Elder Fu has forgiven Ye Xiao so soon? How is this possible?"
Feng Yang also said in surprise, "Right, how is this possible? Could it be that the previous rumors were all false?"
At this moment, not only were the Feng brothers discussing this, but some other people were also discussing it. Even Jiang Zhongzheng, Jiang Chuan, Jiang Miaoke, Xia Nanhai, and these people were looking at Ye Xiao and Fu Donglai with great surprise. Of course, they were also discussing among themselves, clearly unable to comprehend how Ye Xiao could be together with the people of the Fu family.
"Everyone, today is the day of laying my father and younger brother to rest. Originally, there are some things I shouldn't say, but thinking about it, I'm sure everyone is curious to know, so I will speak." Fu Donglai said with a solemn expression at this point.
Upon hearing Fu Donglai's words, the people present were indeed a bit puzzled. Of course, what they were more curious about was Ye Xiao's current position in the Fu family.
"Donglai, as far as I know, the situation your father and your brother Fu Bin ended up in today should be related to the person in front of us, right? Your actions today really baffle me." The person speaking was none other than Zhao Pu's father, Zhao Sheng, the Zhao family's representative today.
"Uncle Zhao, have you ever seen with your own eyes or heard with your own ears those matters? I think no one knows better than me, Fu Donglai, what happened in the Fu family, Uncle Zhao, I think it's better to wait until I finish speaking." Fu Donglai did not give Zhao Sheng any face at all.
After all, Fu Donglai knew that in the whole of Bird City, the Zhao family was Ye Xiao's biggest adversary.
Upon hearing Fu Donglai's words, Zhao Sheng's face turned displeased, glaring at Fu Donglai, but he said nothing more.
At this time, Jiang Zhongzheng smiled and said, "Donglai, dear nephew, please go ahead. I think everyone present would like to hear it."
Fu Donglai said, "A few days ago, the Fu family indeed experienced some unpleasant events, resulting in my father and younger brother's simultaneous deaths. However, the rumor that this was done by Mr. Ye Xiao, I do not know who started the rumor or with what intent. Mr. Ye and I are actually good friends. On the day of the incident, Mr. Ye was indeed at the Fu residence, but he was there to help the Fu family fight off intruders. Although no intruder was captured, he still should not be unjustly blamed. Therefore, today I take this opportunity to clear Mr. Ye's name. At the same time, I wish to announce that Mr. Ye and I are as close as brothers. From now on, whoever is an enemy of Mr. Ye will be my enemy, and whoever is Mr. Ye's friend will surely be my friend."
Once Fu Donglai finished speaking, everyone was momentarily stunned. No one expected Fu Donglai to make such remarks in front of everyone.
The grievances between Ye Xiao and the Fu family were known to many people, but today Fu Donglai publicly denied them, and on the day of Fu Hongyi and Fu Bin's burial, which was clearly significant.
Almost everyone could not fathom what exactly was going on.
"Donglai, dear nephew, do you know what day it is today? Some things you cannot speak carelessly about, or Brother Fu's spirit may not rest in peace." Zhao Sheng could not help but say to Fu Donglai.
Fu Donglai immediately turned stern, glaring at Zhao Sheng and said, "Uncle Zhao, I respect you as an elder, but if you are going to make things up here, then you are not welcome."
"What status do you have to speak to me like this, even if your grandfather came, he couldn't speak to me like that." Zhao Sheng said loudly upon hearing Fu Donglai's words.
Fu Donglai immediately shouted, "I am now the head of the Fu family, so what I say today represents the Fu family. Is there anyone who knows the Fu family's affairs better than me? Uncle Zhao, I am still calling you Uncle Zhao. I know you have grievances with Mr. Ye, but if you want to use the Fu family's matters as an excuse to make a fuss, I will not agree, nor will the entire Fu family."
"I..."
Zhao Sheng wanted to step forward and speak with Fu Donglai, but he was stopped by Zhao Hong, who was standing beside him.
"Donglai, dear nephew, why not invite Elder Fu to come out? I think Elder Fu's words would be more convincing to everyone."
Fu Donglai looked at Zhao Hong with a cold face and said, "Sorry, my grandfather is not in a good mood, so he will not see guests today. Perhaps not tomorrow, or the day after, in any case, he will come out to see guests whenever he feels better."
"What kind of talk is this?" Zhao Hong said, "We came here today, and we can't even see Elder Fu? Isn't this being discourteous?"
Fu Donglai said, "These issues I do not plan to address one by one, I simply want to clarify that some people's ill-intentions have been seeking to exploit the Fu family's matters to make a big fuss. Today, with your attendance at the Fu family, I, Fu Donglai, am very grateful. I hope all the elders present will listen carefully to what I just said."
After Fu Donglai finished speaking, he looked towards Ye Xiao beside him. Ye Xiao smiled slightly. Although he did not speak, he was very satisfied with Fu Donglai's performance.
However, the people present were even more surprised and puzzled, clearly not understanding what role Ye Xiao was now playing in the Fu family.
Afterwards, the Fu family's funeral proceeded!
With Fu Donglai's earlier words, the original guests now showed no interest in the funeral, except for those particularly close to the Fu family, who showed signs of sorrow. As for the others, there was no need to mention them.
The funeral successfully concluded in an orderly manner.
