Chapter 244: 237: Xie Shang was kicked out of his home and sought refuge with Changling.

The Management Committee suddenly found itself short of two members, and Xie Jiwen was naturally elected as the acting director.

Xie Jiwen was the kind who’d sacrifice family for justice. He provided the evidence for the case against Xiaolin Iron and Steel. Back then, he was still working under Xie Liangjiang. That case involved trust and inheritance. Xie Liangjiang used the shell of a foreign company to pull a bait-and-switch, changing the core of Xiaolin Iron and Steel and devouring a large slice of the cake underhandedly.

While Xie Liangjiang was entangled with Meng Wenting, Xie Jiwen found the witness from that year, Fan Ziyi, and even reported Xie Liangjiang as the shadow controlling party of multiple publicly listed companies. Some said that Xie Jiwen was playing the fool to bide his time, while others accused him of fabricating evidence.

As for the truth, that was for the judges to decide.

Apart from Xie Liangjiang himself, KE Law Firm was also involved in multiple breaches of the Lawyers Law, with numerous clients openly accusing it of fee chaos, illegal acquisitions of small law firms, infiltration of capital into upper management, and oligopolistic monopolies.

Overnight, KE Law Firm became the target of national outcry. The firm was under investigation, and its head office and all branches were ordered to cease operations for rectification.

There were rumors that all this was the doing of the Xie Family’s Fourth Young Master, saying he was utterly ruthless—a man who wouldn’t hesitate to take down even his own family.

Xie Jingxian slapped him hard across the face.

Blood appeared at the corner of Xie Shang’s mouth.

It was the first time Xie Jingxian had physically struck him. “Are you even aware of what you’re doing? Did you not say that you just wanted to purge the firm of its corruption? What are you doing now? Do you want your father to spend the rest of his life in prison?”

The charges kept piling up, one after the other, Xie Shang truly went all out.

He wiped the blood from his mouth, stood up straight without bowing his head, and offered no defense for his actions, “A man like him isn’t fit to be a lawyer.”

Xie Jingxian trembled with anger, “If he isn’t, who is? You?”

“I’m even less so.” Although Xie Shang didn’t want to admit it, the truth was that he had Xie Liangjiang’s genes in his bones—the drive to achieve his objectives without limits.

Xie Jingxian’s breathing grew heavier. Leaning on the table and gasping for air, he raged, “And now you’ve compromised KE as well.”

“KE is already rotten.” It needed a thorough clean-up, a complete eradication of its problems.

“A rotten firm can be reformed. I trusted you so much, went along with your plans, helped you push your uncle to the position of director—not to see you destroy KE.”

KE Law Firm was the life’s work of Xie Jingxian and his two cousins; the survival of the entire Xie Family was closely linked to the fortunes of KE Law Firm.

Xie Shang placed the medicine bottle on the table and knelt down.

“I’m sorry, Grandfather. There’s something I must tell you.”

It wasn’t just for Wen Changling, but also for Xie Qingze. His sister’s brother, his most respected uncle—two lives lost, and blood debts had to be repaid.

Xie Shang said, “On the day uncle had his accident, Xie Liangjiang was also in Wind Town. He helped those four criminals get rid of Wen Zhaoyang to silence him, thinking Wen Zhaoyang had witnessed his evil deeds.”

“What evil deeds?”

“Uncle was pushed off the cliff by him.”

Xie Jingxian couldn’t believe it, shaking his head with his eyes reddening, he muttered, “Impossible.”

Impossible. His Xie Family couldn’t possibly have bred such a devil.

“Who can prove this?”

“That year, it was Uncle who helped him conceal his whereabouts.” Xie Shang had already verified this.

Xie Jiwen, who stood quietly at the side, also knelt down suddenly, “Dad, big brother was indeed in Wind Town that time. I didn’t know then why he wanted me to cover for him.” Xie Jiwen’s face showed regret, “I was too cowardly to go against big brother’s wishes.”

He was far from cowardly. If he were, Xie Shang wouldn’t have chosen him as an accomplice.

He was very clever!

Xie Jingxian didn’t realize the monsters he had raised—fathers and sons no longer bonding, brothers turning against each other, conflict within the same household.

Xie Jingxian’s hand, clutching his cane, shook uncontrollably, “How can I trust you? One of you blinded by a woman, hellbent on destroying his own father, the other blinded by power, desperate to be the head of the law firm. I don’t believe a word you say, I don’t believe, I can’t—”

Before he could finish his sentence, Xie Jingxian’s head snapped back, his complexion paled, and he fell backward.

“Dad!”

Xie Jiwen immediately supported him.

“Grandfather.” Xie Shang poured out a pill and offered it.

Xie Jingxian shoved his hand away, shouting, “I don’t believe it, I don’t believe a word! Get out, get out of my sight!”

The white pills scattered on the floor, the bottle rolling to Xie Shang’s feet.

“Xie Jifu, get out of the Xie Family.” Xie Jingxian was overcome with pain. This was his most beloved grandson, yet he had turned the Xie Family upside down. Xie Jingxian’s eyes were red with resolute condemnation, “From now on, you are no grandson of mine.”

Xie Shang picked up the pill, placed one on the table.

“Grandfather, please take care of yourself.”

He turned and left.

From that moment on, there was no Fourth Young Master of the Xie Family.

Aunt Wen followed him out of the room, wiping away tears, asking with reluctance, “Fourth Young Master, will you not come back?”

Xie Shang shook his head, “I don’t know.”

He walked a few steps, then turned back to look at the Xie Family garden. This was where he had grown up—here, his grandmother taught him the guqin, his uncle taught him to ride, his grandfather and Xie Liangjiang taught him law. Was he reluctant to leave?

He didn’t know, but it was painful for sure, feeling sad for his grandfather who had such a son and such a grandson.

He didn’t take anything with him, even the car parked in the Xie Family garage—he left it behind. He headed for Lotus Pond Street, and by the time he got there, the sun had already set.

Wen Changling was pulling up radishes in the yard.

The weather was cold, winter had arrived, a time for radishes in winter and ginger in summer.

“Wen Changling.”

Wen Changling turned around, hands covered in dirt.

Standing behind her, Xie Shang showed no joy of a great victory, but a sorrowful and helpless despair, “I’ve been thrown out by my grandfather. I’m no longer considered part of the Xie Family.” He asked her, “Do I qualify now?”

When they had broken up, Wen Changling had said he was the son of Xie Liangjiang and didn’t qualify.
