Hot Meets Cold Chapter 419

Murdering the head of the family in an attempt to take his place? This is no ordinary crime ……

The words of the white-bearded old man resounded throughout the room, shaking everyone present into silence.

The white-bearded old man is Si Mingrong, the second brother of Si Yanhan’s grandfather, or Si Yanhan’s second uncle, who has the highest seniority and prestige in the clan, and even the old lady would discuss many matters with him and listen to his advice.

In the clan, he was the equivalent of an enforcer, and had been loyal to the Si family for many years, doing his best to support the family head and never afraid of offending anyone.

The moment Si Mingrong’s words fell, almost everyone looked towards an old man in a suit in the corner who was leisurely drinking tea.

The old man in the suit, who was in his sixties, saw everyone staring at him and his face suddenly darkened, “Cough, Uncle Rong, you can’t say that, can you?”

When Si Yanghan’s father, Si Huaizhang, died, several of Si Yanghan’s uncles fought to the death, until years later, when Si Yanghan regained that position, those people continued to act in private.

He had even drunkenly made a scene many times to show his displeasure with Si Yanhan, cursing him for being the head of the family and threatening to have someone kill him.

The white-bearded old man gave Si Huailiang an authoritative sweep, “I’m just guessing a little, why are you so vain? Is it possible that you sent those people?”

Si Huailiang immediately became anxious, “Uncle Rong! You can’t talk nonsense! I just think it’s too hurtful to suspect our own family members based on the words of our men, without any evidence! Don’t you think so?”

The others also said, “Uncle Rong’s suspicion is not unreasonable, however, for such a serious crime, naturally we need to investigate carefully and find definite evidence before we can do so!”

“Yes, now that the family head is seriously ill and in a coma, the group is without a leader, we can’t have our own people in disarray first!”

The white-bearded old man said in a stern voice, “Naturally, we must investigate! And that means we have to start with our own people! As long as you act properly, there’s nothing to mess up!”

The old lady took a deep breath and opened her closed eyes. When she thought of her grandson’s near death, her gaze was cold as she scanned the crowd, “Your Uncle Zhong is right. We’ll start from within, and everyone must cooperate with the investigation, otherwise, we’ll treat them as traitors!

I have already warned you three times that internal fighting and killing each other is strictly forbidden, if I find out that anyone else dares to break the taboo, I will not forgive them lightly!”

Si Huailiang bristled, not daring to disagree, “Yes, yes, Grand Aunt, I will definitely cooperate! However, I have to declare that you know me best, Auntie, I have a heart of bean curd, I may say nasty things in my day, but I would never do such a thing to Ah Jiu! Please be clear about this!”

The old madam gave him a cold look, “As long as you didn’t do it, naturally you won’t be wrongly accused!”

After the old madam finished speaking, she spoke to the old butler at the side, “Pa*s my order down, within three days ……”

The old lady was about to give her order when an old man in the corner wearing a navy blue Tang suit suddenly spoke with a flash of light in his eyes, “Hold on!”
