Chapter 200: Family Meeting (Part Two)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Hong Dali, were you planning to murder me!” Hong Anbao was already green with envy towards Hong Dali from the start. He was constantly jealous of Hong Dali’s good family background, being pampered by his family, and this type of jealousy more often than not would cause someone to become irrational. Now that he had finally found such a chance to frame him, of course, he would put it to good use. Thus, he cried out like he was grieving at a funeral. “Oh no, my back... Hong Dali, even if you look down on me, how could you do such a cruel and harsh thing to me...”
Upon hearing the commotion, those descendants who had come to help out were stunned for a moment, before they all came crowding around in a matter of seconds...
“What happened, what happened? What’s the situation?”
“Seems like Young Master Dali has beat Master Anbao up.”
“That’s impossible, Young Master Dali’s health has always been poor, why would Master Anbao be at the losing end?”
“You don’t understand this, do you? Even if he did it on purpose, it wouldn’t be like that.”
Those were the more rational ones, and naturally, there were those who were gloating and making things worse—
“Hehe, seems like Young Master Dali is too dizzy with success, I heard that he’s brought a girl back right after holding his coming of age ceremony.”
“That’s right, I heard that there was even Li Nianwei with him. He’s probably preparing to set up a harem.”
“He’s even bumped into Master Anbao on purpose today, sigh, he’s really far gone in pride, he even dares to make such a ruckus here.”
“Who says that’s not the case? Haven’t you heard what Master Anbao said, Young Master Dali looks down on him quite a fair bit. Sigh, Dali does have a good family background, but even if he thinks that way inside, he shouldn’t do such a thing, don’t you think so?”
“Hehe, let’s wait and watch the fun, the drama today seems not too bad.”
“Purposely bumping into someone in the big conference room, that spells big trouble for sure.”
Hong Anbao, at this point in time, did not forget to add fuel to the fire. “Aiya, Dali, look at what you’ve done to me, and you’re still watching over there, at least you should apologize to me, and then I’ll keep quiet and not report to Big Elder... If not, from your actions of hitting a fellow descendant just now, that would mean stripping off your rights of being chosen as the most outstanding descendant... Aiya, my poor waist...”
Those descendants who gathered around were having heated discussions, but Hong Dali wasn’t angry at them, however. The same family would produce different types of people. It was natural that for some of them to be green with envy. Those who don’t suffer from jealousy from others are, in fact, mediocre, so he did not care at all.
The person he was really angry at was Hong Anbao. This person was just too infuriating, going against him whenever he could. He had set a trap for him to fall into today as well.
If he should get into trouble this time, wouldn’t it please him?
He had probably calculated things out well, that he would not dare to do anything rash over here, so he had to apologize to him. Otherwise, didn’t he already mention that to physically attack a descendant over here means losing the right to run for the most outstanding descendant title?
Seems like this lad had craftily planned everything out well long ago, and he only had two choices: to apologize or to be stripped off that right.
Judging from his cocky expression, he obviously wanted me to lose face in front of everyone!
What the heck, I’m a prodigal! I’ve never desired that right in the first place. I’ll definitely not let him have his way today!
So what if it’s a family meeting, why do I even care? I’ve come today to take leave!
I don’t really care about being a little disadvantaged, but that doesn’t mean that I’m a pushover! How dare he be so calculative in front of me, I can’t let this go on!
Up to this point, Hong Dali was absolutely straightforward. He turned around to grab a kiwi from the meeting table and threw it towards Hong Anbao. “Yes, I’m looking down on you today, what can you do!”
He had actually wanted to hit Hong Anbao, but in the end, he forgot that his hands and legs were not as nimble. The kiwi he threw in a graceful curve before,pada ... it hit one of the standing descendants on the face.
It was exactly that person who had wanted to watch a good show...
Coincidentally, the kiwi that Hong Dali threw was a ripe one, and that hit on his face caused the kiwi to split open, and the flesh of the fruit, as well as its juice, trickled down that person’s face.
For a moment, the whole meeting hall was so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard, as no one dared to say anything.
Probably, apart from Hong Dali, there was no one else who dared to create such a ruckus in the family meeting hall where the family meeting was held ever since this rule was administered.
After recovering from a long period of bewilderment, finally, there was someone who could not bear it anymore and exclaimed angrily. “Dali, how dare you physically attack Master Xiangfei!”
Needless to say, that person who was hit was called Hong Xiangfei.
Upon seeing that Hong Dali had really dared to launch a physical attack, Hong Anbao was also stunned for a moment. He had only wanted to deal him a head-on blow, to remind him not to fight for the outstanding descendant placings with him, but never did he expect Hong Dali to really dare to attack him!
After he had finally reacted to the situation, Hong Anbao exclaimed even more furiously. “Hong Dali, you actually have the audacity to launch a physical attack! And you’ve hit Master Xiangfei! Master Xiangfei, you definitely cannot let this slide!”
“You dare to hit me!” As the saying goes, it takes two hands to clap. Master Xiangfei, who was hit on the forehead with the kiwi, was also dumbfounded. Additionally, he was quite young, between seventeen to eighteen years of age, an age where he was fearless and couldn’t afford to lose face. Moreover, he was hit in front of everyone, and with Hong Anbao’s instigation, he definitely couldn’t let this slide. Thus, he turned around to grab an orange and threw it directly at Hong Dali!
In the past, when Hong Dali’s attribute points had not reached its maximum, he would have failed to avoid this attack no matter what. However, things were different now—a hundred points of agility and reaction speed, should he have failed to avoid the orange, wouldn’t it be a huge joke?
Therefore, Hong Dali easily avoided the orange that flew towards him, and then that chap behind him became the unlucky one...
“Hong Xiangfei, I’ve put up with you for this long! Since you actually dare to attack me, don’t blame me for being rude, then. I will make sure you pay!” The descendant who was hit by the orange had also gone all out—anyway, it was Young Master Dali who started it first, so he couldn’t possibly be blamed for anything!
Thus, he grabbed a banana and flung it back.
This action caused everyone to frantically find their own sides, as there were indeed many fruits around...
Therefore, apples and oranges flew around together, and the bottles and drinks blended together as one entity, and soon, the whole meeting hall was filled with various types of fruits and drinks and bottles flying around endlessly!
There were some people who got hit at times and then pulled up their sleeves to join in the fight.
By this point, everyone had long forgotten how the whole incident had started, and Hong Anbao even decided to stir up more chaos by fully making use of his role as the instigator, as he threw apples, oranges, and the like at everyone he saw. The initially orderly big meeting hall instantly became like a wet market full of noise.
While it was chaotic inside, Tang Muxin and Li Nianwei who were waiting outside couldn’t bear to stand still anymore. Upon hearing the noise from inside, Tang Muxin knew that a fight had started. However, the three of them were unable to enter the room, thus, instantly, she made a decision to phone Hong Dali’s driver, Wang Mingyu. “Uncle Wang, something bad has happened! Dali is fighting with people inside!”
Wang Mingyu, who was eating at this moment, immediately stood up upon hearing that.
Should something happen to Hong Dali during the family meeting, that would certainly be a big issue, and no one could afford to bear the consequences. Without hesitation, he immediately called out. “Young Master Dali has gotten into a fight. Everyone, follow me!”
Had it been in the past, they wouldn’t necessarily have dared to go into such a place like the Hong Family estate. However, their feelings now were different. With Ling Xiaoyi’s incident, the lackeys and driver Wang Mingyu were all willing to sell their lives to Hong Dali, and now that Dali was being bullied, that was equal to them being bullied, if not even worse than that.
Not to mention the Hong Family estate, even if it meant going through the most severe trials, they would still go through with it. The worst outcome was only losing their lackey jobs, but at least they would have repaid their debt of gratitude to Hong Dali.
Everyone went down the stairs in high spirits, and even Geezer Wang followed them, whispering, “I’ll go too, maybe I will be of some use during critical moments.”
“This... very well.” Wang Mingyu knew how capable this old man was, so he did not reject him. However, upon seeing that Zhang Cai and Mu Zixiao also wanted to go, Wang Mingyu decisively stopped them. “Don’t go, the two of you. You won’t be of much help even if you follow us. Just wait here for our news.”
Zhang Cai and Mu Zixiao agreed with that upon giving it some thought. Especially since Mu Zixiao’s identity was quite sensitive, it would not be suitable for him to help out at the Hong Family. Alas, he worriedly said, “You must inform us once there’s any news.”
“Rest assured.”
At this point, Wang Mingyu took the lead, and the whole lot of them went to get the car and furiously drove directly towards the Hong Family estate.
Once they panicked, they couldn’t care much about other things, so they drove up to a speed of 120 mph on a road with a maximum of only 50 mph as they sped past the city. The journey which originally took twenty minutes became five minutes. Upon reaching the main gate of the Hong Family estate, lackey Li Yang shouted into the walkie talkie. “Brother Wang, the main gate is locked, what do we do?”
“What can we do?” Wang Mingyu, without even thinking, said one word. “Crash!”
Hong Dali was still engaging in the fight inside, how could he have spared any thought about that? Just barge in first and protect the person!
It was, after all, just an old metal gate, which just couldn’t compare with Young Master Dali’s safety!
“Okay!” Lackey Li Yang went all out as he stepped heavily on the accelerator and drove towards that huge Hong Family estate metal gate. “Uncle Wang, your brother is going to do it now! If anything should happen to me, remember to burn more paper money for me! Oh right, burn some pretty girls for me too, just the paper ones will do!”
“Can’t you say something more auspicious than that?” Wang Mingyu berated. “That headstock of your car has an iron board in it that is two centimeters thick! Specially crafted! Nothing will happen to you even if you knock this gate till it flies off!”
“What the heck, why didn’t you say so earlier!” Li Yang showed quite a bit of a heroic aura at this moment and loudly shouted. “Brothers, come with me!”
The engine started with a deafening boom, and the Prayer Angel he was driving sped with a speed of 180 miles per hour towards the huge metal gate.
A huge crash sounded, and the initially shining metal gate with various types of patterns flew out entirely—even the door latch was entirely broken—and the guards nearby almost had their mucus flowing out from their noses as they could only stare at four cars speeding and whooshing past their eyes.
Even the guards’ hats were blown off onto the ground by the wind from the speeding cars.
After staring into blank space for thirty seconds, the four guards finally gathered their thoughts and frantically contacted the family guards’ team. However, by this point, how was it possible to witness even their shadows?
