Invincible Urban Evil Doctor

Chapter 1033: Chapter 1041: I’ve Got You Right Where I Want You (Double-Length) (2)

"You trust that you’re a smart person!"

The woman glanced at Xiong Hai, "Big Brother, no need to tell me, I only listen to my Xiong Ba!"

Xiong Hai was infuriated and looked at Xiong Ba once more, "Second Brother, do you really want us to have a big fight here before you let this go?"

"And you must know, we have two Peak Soldier Kings, two Advanced Soldier Kings, and a bunch of Intermediate Soldier Kings on our side. Can’t we handle the two of you?"

"Even if you don’t consider yourself, won’t you think of your wife and Haitao?"

Xiong Ba coldly glanced at Xiong Hai, "Big Brother, no need to speak of this, I won’t agree!"

"If you want to fight, then fight. I, Xiong Ba, have never been afraid in this life. Neither my wife nor my son will be afraid!"

As he spoke, he glanced in a certain direction, "Even though Grandfather is in seclusion, he won’t be oblivious if we have a big fight!"

"By then, once I explain everything, we’ll see how you explain yourselves!"

"Besides, the two from the Zhu family can forget about leaving our Xiong family!"

But what puzzled him was that none of the Zhu family members or Xiong Hai looked worried upon hearing his words.

At this moment, Xiong Hu behind Xiong Hai started laughing, "Second Brother, don’t you know?"

"Grandfather has entered a dead seclusion. Even if we fought outside his door, he wouldn’t sense it."

"Let alone here?"

Xiong Ba smirked, "Third Brother, are you joking?"

"When I last saw Grandfather, he clearly told me he wouldn’t go into dead seclusion for another year or two!"

"Really?" Xiong Hu sneered.

"What do you mean?" Xiong Ba sensed something wrong. His wife’s face darkened as if realizing something, "What did you do to Grandfather?"

"Second Brother, Second Sister, don’t be agitated. After all, Grandfather is ours too. We certainly wouldn’t harm him, just let the elder get some good rest, as he’s too old to always be in seclusion!"

Upon hearing this, Xiong Ba was furious, unable to contain it anymore. Even his wife’s anger was palpable.

The couple’s deep affection for each other seemed to let them understand each other’s thoughts in an instant.

In the next moment, both raised a hand almost simultaneously, reaching for Xiong Hu.

However, Xiong Hu wasn’t careless as before; he seemed to have anticipated this.

Just as their hands were about to grab his shoulder, he said, "Second Brother, Second Sister, if you want to see my nephew Haitao again, I suggest you don’t act rashly!"

"Otherwise, if he suffers even a bit, he’ll certainly die!"

"What did you say!" The table in front of Xiong Ba exploded into splinters with a bang.

Of course, no one present was weak, so no one was injured.

Xiong Ba and his wife’s hands, just about to clutch Xiong Hu’s shoulders, abruptly paused.

Suddenly stuck, unable to advance or retreat.

The entire council hall fell silent immediately.

Xiong Hu knew that after he dropped that line, Second Brother and Second Sister wouldn’t dare act against him.

After all, they were known in the family for adoring their son to the point that Haitao’s safety was more important than their lives.

But at this moment, he still took two steps back.

Additionally, he dared not provoke them further and said again, "Second Brother, Second Sister, rest assured, my nephew Haitao is perfectly fine!"

"Moreover, he’s being well-fed and cared for!"

"Of course, if you two misbehave, I can’t guarantee what will happen to him!"

Even though Xiong Ba’s wife was gentle, she seemed ready to explode again.

A protective mother, especially when it comes to her child!

But looking at Xiong Ba, who clearly had a fiery temper, he held her shoulder, calming her down.

"What do you want us to do?" His face was terrifyingly grim as he coldly asked, "And how can I know for sure that my Tao’Er is in your hands!"

"You must know, only we, the couple, know where he is!"

Xiong Hu glanced back, and among the crowd behind him, a relatively short young man stepped out. He was also Xiong Hai’s grandson.

Usually, he was closest to Xiong Haitao.

The two usually spoke about everything, so as soon as he stepped out, Xiong Ba and his wife instantly understood!

Who can be blamed?

In fact, this child cannot really be blamed!

If blame is due, it’s because their son was too naive.

Even though they repeatedly warned that he couldn’t tell anyone where he’s going, he still told.

"Jiangnan University!" Xiong Hu said at this point.

The couple, Xiong Ba, lost all hope.

Indeed, their Tao’Er was in their hands, leaving no room for doubt.

Seeing their expressions, Xiong Hu smiled and said no more, while Xiong Hai stepped forward and laughed, "Second Brother, Sister-in-law, it would have been better if you thought this way earlier!"

"We are family; why all the arguing!"

"If there’s anything, we should sit down and talk it out!"

Xiong Ba’s face remained stern, as did his wife’s, as they internally despised their brother’s behavior.

Even the two from the Zhu family and many from the Xiong family felt Xiong Hai’s words had a hint of hypocrisy.

However, being on one side, none of them would undermine him. Besides, the Xiong family dared not say anything against Xiong Hai or voice their opinions clearly.

At the same time, especially in recent years, there was a lot of dissatisfaction towards Xiong Ba.

Even though they had previously supported Xiong Ba leading the Xiong family.

Due to the family’s crisis, Xiong Ba had been very strict in controlling the family’s resources, not tolerating any embezzlement.

If discovered, positions were stripped, and family rules enforced.

While superficially supported by all within the family, behind the scenes, dissatisfaction with Xiong Ba, the Patriarch, had risen.

With the family crisis known to everyone, all desired more resources for future security.

If not for Xiong Ba’s Peak Soldier King power, they would’ve long found a chance to remove his Patriarch position.

When Xiong Hai and Xiong Hu approached them, it was an easy alliance, with no complications.

They didn’t mind backing the Zhu family either.

They knew if the Zhu family ever turned against them, Xiong Hai and Xiong Hu, being the core figures of the Xiong family, would be targeted first.

Moreover, they were all aware of the current crisis facing the Xiong family.

In their view, the situation was hopeless.

Given the deadlocked situation, finding an exit seemed more practical.

If they waited till they were utterly cornered, it would be too late.

Therefore, scouting for an exit earlier fit their needs.

Xiong Ba wasn’t interested in Xiong Hai’s irrelevant talk and directly asked, "What exactly do you want me to do? Just say it straight, no need for riddles!"

"Considering how things are, don’t you feel it’s too hypocritical, Big Brother, to keep beating around the bush?"

Hearing this, Xiong Hai wasn’t angry at all; instead, he nodded, "Second Brother, you’re indeed the Patriarch, personally chosen by Grandfather, and act differently from us."

"Alright, I’ll be direct!"

"First, you must relinquish the Patriarch position to me and publicly announce that you’ll hold no position within the clan!"

"Second, you must declare that from now on, the Xiong family is an affiliate of the Zhu family, prohibiting any action that harms the Zhu family."

"Third, once I become Patriarch, you must follow my orders!"

Upon hearing these three points, Xiong Ba and his wife could barely restrain their anger.

However, for their son’s sake, they contained their fury.

But what Xiong Hai proposed was entirely unreasonable, expecting him to shoulder all the blame and then work as their servant.

"Second Brother, don’t you think the three points Big Brother mentioned are reasonable?" Xiong Hai asked, looking like he had Xiong Ba cornered.
