After descending the mountain, the aloof female CEO became attached to me.

The Lan family mansion fell silent instantly.

No one expected things to develop to this point.

The Lan family members looked at Lan Shiping and felt a pang of sympathy.

No matter what, the child is innocent.

But the child's birth was a mistake.

Why should the next generation bear the burden of the grudges of the previous generation?

While Lan Shiping was certainly at fault, ultimately, Liu Mei was the real culprit.

"Actually, I can sense your resentment towards me, and I also feel sorry for you."

"But whenever I see you, I think of Hua Dao, Liu Mei, and my magnificent yet pitiful and humble first half of life."

"I can't forget how good Liu Mei was to me, but I can't forget her insincerity towards me either."

There is no absolute right or wrong in anything. What's past is past, let it drift away with the wind!

Lan Tianmu suddenly sighed heavily, looking at Lan Shiping who was in tears, and felt very uncomfortable.

His love for Liu Mei gave rise to a possessive desire, which complicated what was originally a simple matter of revenge and retribution.

This incident has truly hurt far too many innocent people.

"Drift away with the wind?"

Lan Shiping seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and he gave a bitter, cold laugh.

"Over the years, because of your hatred for my parents, I have been neglected."

“I grew up in the Lan family, but I never received a single bit of fatherly love.”

"Yes, I admit it. My father killed your father, and we are mortal enemies."

"But if there is such a deep-seated hatred, why did you raise me? And if you chose to raise me, why do you hate me so much?"

"Was I born just so you could vent your hatred? By what right?"

Lan Shiping roared angrily, his emotions running high, his eyes bloodshot.

He admitted in his heart that he had done some wrong things, but for so many years, he had always regarded Lan Tianmu as his biological father.

It was because of his biological father's neglect that he developed the evil idea of ​​killing his father and seizing power.

If I didn't already know the truth, so what if I was ignored? Isn't that to be expected?

But at this moment, what should have been has become what shouldn't have been.

"Shiping, the grudges of the previous generation cannot be explained in just a few words."

"For the sake of your deceased mother, I will let bygones be bygones."

"You, go!"

Lan Tianmu's expression was complicated, and he was unwilling to say anything more, so he gently waved his hand.

The grudges and grievances are indeed not something that can be explained in just a few words.

"Old man, I, Lan Shiping, have lived this long and I'm afraid of everything, except death."

"No matter what, you have raised me."

"This time, I'm going to use you to seize power. If I win, the entire Lan family will be mine."

"Even if I'm wrong then, I'll still be right."

"But I understand the principle of 'the victor is king, the loser is villain' better than you do."

"Losing is losing. So what if you die? What's the big deal?"

"I'll consider my life as paying off a debt for my biological father."

"From now on, we're even."

Lan Shiping's expression hardened, and after speaking, he slammed his head against the wall.

"Second brother..."

Lan Shize was the first to exclaim in surprise, and made a move to stop him.

No matter what, they all share the same mother.

But Lan Shiping was too fast; in just a moment, he was smashed in and bleeding profusely.

Chu Tian did not stop them; the Lan family could handle their own grudges.

Although everyone was at fault in this matter, Lan Shiping truly deserved to die.

However, looking at Lan Shiping's tragic death, Chu Tian instantly thought of the horrific scene ten years ago when his parents died right before his eyes when the Chu family was wiped out.

They also died tragically, their eyes wide open in disbelief, yet they used their last strength to send Chu Tian away from the Chu family.

With this thought in mind, Chu Tian's icy gaze suddenly turned to Mr. Wu.

As a Miao shaman, his return to the mortal world must mean he knows some inside information.

It is even highly likely that it is related to the destruction of the Chu family back then.

However, at this moment, the Lan family was immersed in grief.

Lan Shiping deliberately murdered the old man, and he certainly deserved to die.

But this matter is somewhat unfair to Lan Shiping.

He was also a pitiful person.

Furthermore, as members of the Lan family, they have lived together for decades, and many of their elders watched Lan Shiping grow up. It's impossible to say there are no feelings involved.

Lan Yingying also shed tears. Her second uncle used to treat her well. When she was little, he often took her to play and even let her ride a big horse.

However, as she grew older and gradually began to get involved in the internal affairs of the Lan family, the relationship between the uncle and niece began to become distant.

However, Lan Yingying was very saddened by Lan Shiping's death.

"Dad, what should we do with the second son's body?"

Lan Shize's voice trembled, his heart aching as if it were being stabbed.

The moment he learned the truth, he thought he no longer had any feelings for Lan Shiping.

But when she saw him die in front of her, all her hatred vanished in an instant.

Instead, there is a deep sense of family affection; they are siblings from the same mother, though not from the same father, yet still connected by blood.

"A rich burial."

Lan Tianmu slowly closed his eyes, uttered the two words with difficulty, and his body swayed slightly.

"Yes."

Lan Shize took a deep breath, suppressing his grief, and began to arrange the burial.

Mr. Wu, who was in the crowd, also did not expect things to develop into this state.

Originally, he intended to use Lan Shiping to secretly control the Lan family, thereby realizing his development plan for Miao territory.

Unexpectedly, not only was the plan ruined, but it also brought up a whole host of past events.

Of course, the Lan family's past had nothing to do with him.

However, Lan Shiping chose to commit suicide. His puppet was dead, and his goal of secretly intervening and controlling the Lan family could not be achieved.

"What a useless piece of trash who's good for nothing and good for making things worse."

Mr. Wu cursed angrily in his heart, and then, taking advantage of the commotion in the crowd, prepared to slip away in the chaos.

The Lan family is the wealthiest family in the three southwestern provinces, with assets worth hundreds of billions.

He, a mere Transformation Realm martial artist, is not enough to shake us.

"Did I let you go?"

However, at that moment, Chu Tian, ​​who was keeping a close eye on Mr. Wu's condition, suddenly blocked Mr. Wu's path.

Lan Shize then snapped out of his grief. If it weren't for this Mr. Wu's scheming behind the scenes, even if Lan Shiping really wanted to harm the old man, there would have been no way to do so.

He is also implicated in this matter.

"Guards, seize him!"

Lan Shize shouted, and the Lan family's martial artists and bodyguards instantly sprang into action.

Mr. Wu snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Your Lan family is indeed very powerful. If you are well prepared, I am no match for you."

"But now, you think you can stop me with just these few rotten garlic cloves in your house?"
