MTLNOVEL Chapter 160: Wild Ambitions!
I hate too!!!
Did these words... come out of Chu Yan's mouth?
It's important to know that in Tang Tianpeng's impression, Chu Yan was adopted by Chu Renxiong as his adoptive son since childhood, treated as his own, living a life of luxury; he had everything that his biological daughter, Chu Feifei, had!
Later, he was groomed as the successor with all kinds of training. So why would Chu Yan hate his adoptive father who treated him so well?
"Why do you hate?" Tang Tianpeng asked in confusion.
"Uncle Peng, you don't need to pretend to be confused. The reason my adoptive father looks up to the one named Jiang is not only because he once saved Fei'er's life, but also because he has the strength that makes my adoptive father wary!" Chu Yan said coldly.
"I know all that, but I can't understand what it has to do with your hatred of him." Tang Tianpeng frowned and said.
"It didn't matter before, but now it does. The wariness my adoptive father had has gradually turned into admiration as he has had more and more contact with Jiang Feng! And as for Fei'er's attitude towards Jiang Feng, I don't need to say more, right? You should have heard something!"
"Are you saying... that Jiang might become your adoptive father's son-in-law? How could that be possible?" Tang Tianpeng felt he was hearing something extremely absurd and said incredulously.
"There's nothing impossible about it, Uncle Peng. You are now revered in the group, often not directly involved, so you may not understand some situations as promptly or thoroughly. For instance, this time—if you had known earlier that my adoptive father had taken a liking to Jiang Feng's talent, you might have warned Ah Fei earlier, and today's tragedy might not have happened." Chu Yan said flatly.
"You're right, I am indeed getting old, but with what you've said, I finally understand why he helped an outsider. There's another reason for it, and it's my shortsightedness." Tang Tianpeng ground his teeth, feeling another layer of hatred swelling in his heart.
It turns out that for half the day, Chu Renxiong wanted to protect his favored son-in-law, so he ignored family ties and made his own son a scapegoat!
Chu Yan watched the increasingly gloomy Tang Tianpeng and felt a sense of triumph in his heart. This old fox was even more closed-minded and stubborn than he imagined; he hadn't investigated Jiang Feng at all before the incident and didn't even know that Jiang Feng was a son-in-law of the Nangong Family, making it easy to fool him!
"Imagine, if one day Fei'er really ends up with Jiang, Uncle Peng, how much hope do you think I have of succeeding the position?" Chu Yan asked.
"From your adoptive father's attitude, you probably don't stand a chance at all." Tang Tianpeng finally understood the reason behind Chu Yan's "hatred."
"So, after all my efforts, I was on the verge of being appointed as the successor. But now, with this sudden change, someone wants to take everything that was originally mine. Do you think I can just accept that?" Chu Yan questioned again.
"Xiao Yan, you don't need to say anymore, I understand." Tang Tianpeng sighed deeply: "Your adoptive father did this without considering your feelings, but since things are like this, you should find a way to remove Jiang without tearing your relationship with your adoptive father."
"Do you think I don't want to? I've already taken action!" Chu Yan once again spoke shockingly, then sneered: "However, now my adoptive father has his opinions about me, even without Jiang, he wouldn't trust me again."
"The best way is to strike first! Whether it's removing one or two, once they're both dead, I can succeed without any worries!"
Boom!!!
Upon hearing Chu Yan's words, Tang Tianpeng's body shook violently, and he even lost control of his right hand, shaking the cigarette right out of it.
He stared wide-eyed at Chu Yan, unable to conceal the shock on his face!
Shocked?
Yes!
He believed Chu Yan indeed had thoughts of killing Jiang Feng, but he never expected Chu Yan to have already acted on it and also planned to kill Chu Renxiong!
This truly exemplifies what is meant by having the heart of a wolf and being ruthless, as he has witnessed now!
What he least expected was that Chu Yan would reveal it all so openly in front of him!
"Xiao Yan, are you... joking?" Tang Tianpeng asked, trying to calm his mood.
"Uncle Peng, what do you think?" Chu Yan coldly laughed, "I've already laid everything bare for you, do you think I'd lie to you?"
"Chu Yan, this is treacherous!" Tang Tianpeng said angrily!
"Heh, Uncle Peng, watching others take everything from me, is that filial? Although I share the same surname, I'm not blood-related to Chu Renxiong. When he needed me, I was a treasure. Once he no longer needs me, I'm cast aside like an old shoe! Who's naïve, you or me?" Chu Yan sneered.
Tang Tianpeng remained silent.
"Uncle Peng, if it were you, what would you do? Would you stand by and watch Jiang Feng, a security guard, climb to become the Sect Leader of the Chu Family by currying favor with Chu Feifei? Would you be content to see the culprit who destroyed your son flaunting around all day before you?"
Chu Yan stared at Tang Tianpeng and said, "My adoptive father is blinded, but you shouldn't be. The company should be led by someone capable like me, so the Jiangshan you worked so hard to build won't be destroyed overnight!"
"Xiao Yan, stop. I just want to know why you're telling me all this?" Tang Tianpeng asked, staring intently at Chu Yan.
"It's simple, because, I want to cooperate with you, Uncle Peng."
Chu Yan said word by word, "I now have a meticulous plan, foolproof! Plus, if you, Uncle Peng, are willing to help me, it's a double guarantee!"
"Why do you think I would help you? You know my relationship with your adoptive father! We crawled out from the pile of corpses together, and now you want me to betray the brotherhood!" Tang Tianpeng said coldly.
"Haha, brotherhood? Uncle Peng, stop living in past memories. Putting aside everything else, take this incident: did Chu Renxiong talk about brotherhood with you? Did he say or do anything for Ah Fei's current situation? Don't you know in your heart?"
Tang Tianpeng was stifled, immediately feeling the urge to smoke another cigarette.
"Pop!" Chu Renxiong stepped forward and lit it for him.
Amidst the swirling smoke, Tang Tianpeng remained silent for a long time before saying: "What exactly do you want me to do?"
"Very simple, all I need is for you to cooperate with me, you'll be a part of my plan. But rest assured, even if things fail, you won't be affected—you won't be involved in this plan!" Chu Yan coaxed.
"What about after the deed is done?" Tang Tianpeng asked indirectly.
Chu Yan sneered knowing that Tang Tianpeng was already tempted: "After the deed is done, first, you get revenge for Ah Fei and vent your anger; secondly, the proportion of shares you hold in the group will rise, and you and Aunt Du will be able to enjoy your retirement even better."
"Xiao Yan, let me think about it..." Tang Tianpeng took a deep drag of his cigarette, with fingers trembling as he held it, seriously contemplating Chu Yan's crazy plan, because once he nods in agreement, it would mean overturning South City and even Binhai, causing a massive storm!
