"What did you say?" Chu Renxiong's brows furrowed even tighter, unable to believe such words actually came from Chu Yan's mouth!
Huddled in Chu Renxiong's embrace, Chu Feifei also looked at Chu Yan in disbelief, completely stunned.
"Foster father, thank you for raising and nurturing me all these years, but you're too tired; you need a good rest. This place is backed by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery and excellent feng shui. Consider it my final repayement to you." Chu Yan held a black umbrella, speaking as if addressing Chu Renxiong, but also as if talking to himself.
At that moment, six big shots who had parked outside, along with fifty Chu Family elites in black suits, all entered. The rain poured harder, the wind howled, but they stood in the rain curtain, straight as pine trees.
In the desolate cemetery, only the Chu Family entourage was present, the atmosphere cold and chilling, with a somber and bleak killing intent!
"Chu Yan, what do you mean by this?" Chu Renxiong was silent for three seconds before coldly staring at Chu Yan and asking.
"Foster father, don't look at me like that. I've made myself very clear. This time next year will be the anniversary of your death, and your life will end here." Chu Yan gave a cold smile, meeting Chu Renxiong's gaze.
"How dare you! Chu Yan, do you dare to be so impertinent? Do you intend to rebel?" At this moment, one of the hot-tempered big shots among the six stepped out, angrily pointing at Chu Yan and shouting!
His name was Zang Feng, a loyal and devoted general and close brother to Chu Renxiong. Upon seeing Chu Yan's outrageous conduct, he naturally jumped out to reprimand him.
However, just as Zang Feng finished speaking, "Bang!" a gunshot rang out, hitting the back of his head!
Immediately, Zang Feng didn't even groan as his entire head exploded like a burst watermelon, blood and brain matter splattering everywhere, drenching the people around him and splashing onto the rainy muddy ground.
"Ah!!"
Witnessing such a tragic scene, Chu Feifei screamed in terror, her face full of horror!
Chu Renxiong's pupils contracted, and then he looked in the direction of the gunshot, seeing it was one of the elite subordinates in black who fired the shot!
However, faced with this person's shooting, the remaining forty-nine elites stood there motionless, indicating they knew such a thing would happen all along, hence their expressionless and cold demeanor!
In an instant, Chu Renxiong realized all these people had betrayed him, having been swayed by Chu Yan!
"Chu Yan, you!!" Among the remaining five big shots, two glared at Chu Yan with shock and anger, filled with intense hatred!
Yet, Chu Renxiong noticed another detail: including Tang Tianpeng, the remaining three big shots showed no surprise, their faces as calm as a still pond.
"Brother Tang?" Chu Renxiong was shocked, subconsciously understanding something, but he truly couldn't believe these brothers, who had fought alongside him for Jiangshan and climbed out of mounds of corpses and seas of blood together, would actually support Chu Yan in rebelling against him!
Tang Tianpeng met Chu Renxiong's gaze, gave a cold smile, his eyes devoid of the past's respect and fear, only contempt and derision.
At that moment, Chu Renxiong understood; Tang Tianpeng must hold a grudge and animosity against him because of his son's past issue, thus choosing to side with Chu Yan and rebel!
It's regrettable that Zhuge Yuheng used to warn him, but back then he didn't take it to heart, being filled with loyalty and righteousness, only to end up with such a result!
"Foster father, I've said before, the world of martial arts is not the one from the eighties or nineties that valued loyalty. You're old and not suitable for this world of martial arts anymore. It's better to retire early." Chu Yan said expressionlessly.
At this point, Chu Yan coldly looked at the two furious big shots and said, "Uncle Wei, Uncle Wu, you see the facts laid before you with your own eyes! I offer you two paths: be buried here with Chu Renxiong, or like Uncle Peng and the others, submit to me. You only have one chance to make a decision."
These two big shots, named Wei Yongming and Wu Changfeng, like the late Zang Feng, were also Tang Tianpeng's direct confidants, making it difficult for Chu Yan to poach them before, hence he didn't risk it previously.
At this moment, these two who were kept in the dark for the first time realized Chu Yan's ambitious intentions!
"Chu Yan, this is outrageous and treasonous. If we were in ancient times, this would be considered usurping the throne! Big brother has treated you as his own over the years, only to raise such an ungrateful wolf? Even a dog knows to be loyal to its owner..." Wu Changfeng bellowed in rage.
Before he could finish, Chu Yan also pulled out a handgun, pressing it against Wu Changfeng's forehead, and with a "Bang" shot him dead on the spot!
Poor Wu Changfeng still had an expression of anger and reluctance on his face as he fell straight to the ground, eyes wide open, looking at his big brother, while blood gushed from the ghastly bullet wound on his forehead.
"Uncle Wu!!!" Chu Feifei once again couldn't help but scream, sobbing uncontrollably. She watched helplessly as two uncles who had watched her grow up died on the spot, her heart tearing apart!
In fact, Zang Feng and Wu Changfeng were renowned figures in South City, and had they had their loyal subordinates, they wouldn't have been so easily killed by Chu Yan. Unfortunately, like Chu Renxiong, they never expected Chu Yan to harbor such treacherous intentions, leading to their tragic deaths!
"Now it's your turn, Uncle Wei. I remember you were good to me when I was young, teaching me many things. How about now? Make your choice! I don't want you to follow in Uncle Zang and Uncle Wu's footsteps, as that wouldn't be wise for you." Chu Yan turned to the last big shot who hadn't submitted to him yet.
"This..." Wei Yongming glanced at the two fresh corpses at his feet, then at Chu Renxiong standing in front of him, appearing very pained and conflicted.
Betraying loyalty would cost him his conscience, but not betraying it would cost him his life!
"Uncle Wei, do you want me to send you off too?" Chu Yan raised his hand, pressing the gun barrel against Wei Yongming's head.
"Alright... alright, Xiao Yan, don't kill me; I choose to support you." Wei Yongming immediately raised his hands and chose to surrender.
Chu Yan chuckled mockingly. "That's more like it, Uncle Wei. You'll be glad for your wise choice. Under my leadership, the Chu Family will surely prosper, and your status will only rise higher along with it."
Wei Yongming looked at Chu Renxiong with shame, not daring to lift his head, and took a step back, standing aside.
Chu Renxiong, seeing this, let out a bitter laugh!
He never expected to fall so quickly, wondering if the tales of heroes waning with age referred to him.
He never predicted that his glorious life would end in the hands of his adoptive son!
"Wuuu!" At this point, Chu Feifei was already weeping bitterly, clinging to her father's arms, fearing he might follow the same fate as those uncles, leaving her forever!
"How about it, foster father? Do you have anything left to say now?" Chu Yan asked triumphantly, aiming the gun at Chu Renxiong's head. "Even if it's just a few last words, so I can recall them later for a bit of amusement!"
