Chapter 110 - We Need To Set Up a Decoy (1/2)
The Third Elder was somewhat restless on the inside, observing his sibling's quiet demeanor.
Despite that, he started to discuss his sudden arrival. ”First Brother, forgive me for disturbing so early in the morning, but have you heard anything about the Yue siblings?”
Not taking his eyes off the newspaper, he replied, ”What about them?”
With shifty eyes, the Third elder's voice turned vague as he blurted out: ”I think they might encounter an accident yesterday.”
”Why would you say that?”
Grasping his trembling hands in order to control his feelings, the Third Elder clarified his earlier statement: ”An ȧssociate of mine saw Yue Xiang's vehicle blowing up yesterday. As soon as I heard that, I didn't know what to do.”
Folding his paper and placing it quietly on the coffee table, the First Elder's raspy voice finished his younger brother's next sentence. ”So you came here to see whether the information can be trusted or not. Correct?”
First Elder's cold stare sent a shudder through Third Elder's spine. He started to stutter as he looked down at the floor, away from his older brother, ”Ye----Yes.”
”Then why didn't you call Master Yue or the Yue Villa to check on their wellbeing?”
”Fi--First--Bro---.”
”Your acquaintance could have called the police or hospital to ensure that the Yue siblings were safe, on the off chance that they had an accident.”
”Wel---.”
”At least as an Elder, when you got the news of the accident, you should have announced it. Instead, you held onto it for an entire night and then hurried here before dawn to check on whether they are dead or alive.”
”Noo---I-didn't-me---”
The First Elder didn't give him a chance to talk, he continued to lecture his brother. ”If it is out of love, then where did that love go when Young Miss Yue was ȧssaulted in WAX? Or the time when she was accused recently by the Mayor of injuring his daughter?”
Third Elder face was soaked in a cold sweat. He stammered in a hoarse voice, ”It's a mis--misun--.”
First Elder banged his walking stick on the floor once with a sharp tap, then he hollered: ”Third Brother, do you think I am a fool?”
Raising the stick again, this time he pointed it at the Third Elder and threatened: ”Don't forget the punishment of hurting your own kin.”
Fear overwhelmed his body, and the Third Elder felt his legs go weak. Kneeling down on the ground before the First Elder, he placed two hands on the floor in absolute surrender. The Third Elder looked up at his brother and said: ”First Brother, I didn't do anything! It's a complete misunderstanding!!!”
Being criticized by his First Brother for over an hour, the Third Elder left the Villa with an exhausted face.
After the Third Elder had left, a young lady entered the room, skipping until she came to a stop in front of the First Elder. Wearing a demon mask, she tried to scare him: ”Boooo!!”
The First Elder's heartbeat fast for a moment in fear when he saw the ugly mask appear out of nowhere in front of his face. He quickly leaned back in surprise.
