Quick Wear: I and the Villain Beat the Scum Together
Chapter 17: Academic Bully vs School Bully 17
Three days later, Lao Liu found Lawyer Liu's body, buried at the foot of a cliff. There was nothing suspicious around him. Lao Liu didn't have a reverse function, so he couldn't pinpoint the murderer. Si Ke told Lao Liu to call the police directly. Having the police intervene would be better than their own frantic search.
Xie Xingchen, on the other hand, was also prepared for a business war with the Xie family. Even a fool could tell that this was Uncle Xie's doing. Elder Xie had suddenly died, and Lawyer Liu had suddenly disappeared... But even though he knew, he had no evidence. His only option was to fight the Xie family to the death.
However, while Xie Xingchen was making preparations, he received a call from his father, asking him to go back to the old house to pack up his things.
The previous will stated that after this old house was sold, the Xie family would no longer exist.
This old house is a retro manor with a sense of age. Mr. Xie likes it and longs for a life with many children and grandchildren.
But as these children grew up, they gradually had their own families and bought their own houses outside.
Therefore, he could only maintain a superficial harmony by requiring them to go home every weekend. In this old house, there were rooms and memories for each of them.
Today, everyone has returned and gathered here, but only to pack up their things and move out of here completely. This is probably the last time this family will be together.
Some are reluctant to leave, but more are unwilling to give up.
Xie Xingchen ignored the expressions of these people and went straight back to his room.
Is there anything worth taking away? Xie Xingchen didn't know. It seemed like he hadn't come back to live in this room for a long time. Since his grandfather beat him last time, he had only come back a few times, let alone stayed overnight.
Xie Xingchen opened the wardrobe door, then the bedside table and the desk...
By the time Xie Xingchen finished packing, a long time had passed.
Going downstairs again, those who had packed up were already sitting on the sofa waiting for the family members who had not packed up yet.
Seeing that Xie Xingchen didn't take anything but a file bag in his hand, Xie's father couldn't help but step forward and ask: "Don't you have anything else to collect?"
"Butler, go get everyone out. Don't put it away yet." Xie Xingchen gently pushed his father away and continued, "Also, call the lawyer, the experts who authenticated the will and the video, and call the police."
As soon as Xie Xingchen's voice came out, everyone was stunned and gathered around in an instant, starting to ask what happened.
Xie Xingchen placed the document bag on the table, his eyes shooting sharp glances at Fourth Uncle Xie. He raised his hand and said, "Grandpa's will! I wonder if Fourth Uncle has anything to explain."
What, another will?
The Xie family members were stunned, and when they reacted, their hands reached out to the file bag, but were held down by Xie Xingchen.
"I advise everyone not to move. It's not too late to wait until the relevant people gather." After being swept by Xie Xingchen's strong gaze, everyone unconsciously withdrew their hands.
Xie Xingchen used to be a bad guy, but now that he has been a domineering CEO for several years, his aura has only increased.
After being intimidated by Xie Xingchen, these people finally turned their attention to Uncle Xie. Seeing his pale face, everyone looked gloating and even made a few sarcastic remarks.
Xie's father, however, looked puzzled and asked Xie Xingchen, "Where did you find this will?"
"In my desk." Xie Xingchen replied.
"Why would the old man put such an important thing in your desk?" This time it was Uncle Xie who spoke.
"You'll have to ask grandpa about that." Xie Xingchen replied coldly.
Uncle Xie choked and stopped asking.
Soon, the relevant personnel arrived. Opening the document bag, they found not only the will, but also the notarized document and a USB drive. Everyone then understood why Xie Xingchen had requested a video verification. After verifying it, they turned to look at the Xie family members who were watching eagerly.
"This will and the notarized document are both genuine, and were made later than the previous will. Therefore, this will will be considered as Mr. Xie's valid will," the lawyer announced.
Next, the will was published. It was indeed substantially different from the first will.
The second, sixth, and seventh branches of the Xie family received the majority of all assets outside of the Xie family's business, while the third branch received a smaller portion. The first and fourth branches received nothing other than Xie's shares. Mr. Xie's 35% stake in the Xie family was inherited by his grandson, Xie Xingchen.
When the will was released, some were indignant, some were stunned, and some understood. However, with so many experts and the police present, there wasn't a commotion like last time.
After the will was read, the next thing was the USB drive.
Everyone thought it was another confidential document, but after connecting it to the TV, they saw that it was actually a selfie taken by Mr. Xie himself.
In the video, Mr. Xie looked about the same age as he is now, so it was obviously filmed recently.
In this video, he recounted the reasons for the will's distribution. It also included the dirty deeds done to the younger generation by the Xie family's first and fourth wives, as well as their accomplice, the third wife.
"I've always hoped for a harmonious family, with many children and grandchildren, and a happy life for all of us. Unfortunately, I was wrong, so wrong! When I was young, I was busy with business and had no time to care for these children. They grew up astray, doing whatever it took to gain power, and by the time I discovered it, it was too late. I couldn't change them, so I had no choice but to send them to where they belong. Only then would my remaining children and grandchildren be spared from their persecution... Xingchen, I'm sorry, Grandpa doesn't want to hit you, doesn't want to be so harsh on you. But if it weren't for this, Grandpa is afraid he wouldn't be able to protect you. It was because Grandpa was too good to you when you were young that they poisoned you, and even that time you were almost lost... And it's all Grandpa's fault..."
The video depicts Mr. Xie's pain and remorse. Outside the video, the Xie family sat in silence, not daring to utter a word. Mr. Xie also revealed the evidence he had gathered over the years, hidden in a secret compartment in his bedroom wall.
Uncle Xie, Uncle Xie III, Uncle Xie IV…the three were arrested on the spot. The Xie family was once again filled with cries of grief and wailing.
Xie Xingchen himself didn't know how he walked out of the Xie family's old house. He didn't come back to his senses until his father patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't hate your grandfather." Father Xie sighed, but he watched his son's expression without blinking.
Xie Xingchen shook his head and replied, "Grandpa was indeed very wrong, but I don't hate him."
"Xingchen, did you...know something a long time ago?" Father Xie asked uncertainly.
"It's not that I knew it early, but Grandpa allowed the eldest uncle and the fourth uncle to stay in the Xie family at the same time, and gave them equal power. They were intertwined and the purpose of checks and balances was too obvious."
"So at that time, you asked me to seek cooperation with your uncle..."
"My uncle is incompetent. If we don't help him, he would have been kicked out long ago."
"Did you come up with these ideas yourself, or was it your grandfather who instructed you to do so back then..."
"Is there a difference?" Aren't their goals the same? They both wanted to keep each other in check and balance.
Xie Xingchen smiled, but walked straight to his car, not wanting to argue with his father anymore.
