Wang Kai's arrival bolstered Wang Tianlong's courage. The latter then decided to play the victim, falsely accusing Ling Tian and Wang Bingxia of attempting to kill him.
Wang Kai signaled his subordinates, and several Wang family guards quickly surrounded Wang Bingxia and Ling Tian.
The guards surrounding Ling Tian were particularly aggressive, drawing their weapons.
The Wang family knew that Miss Bingxia was physically weak, so it was obvious that the one who would be taking action was this future son-in-law.
Wang Bingxia stepped forward, facing Wang Kai directly.
"Brother Kai, don't listen to his nonsense!
Ling Tian and I were on our way back when these people suddenly rushed out to attack us.
That scoundrel Wang Tianlong actually ordered his bodyguards to cripple my fiancé! We were merely acting in self-defense!"
Wang Kai nodded, "There are surveillance cameras in the courtyard. The truth of the matter will be clear once it's investigated!"
Seeing Wang Kai's stance, Wang Tianlong immediately became anxious. There were multiple cameras all around, providing comprehensive, blind-spot-free surveillance. A check would expose everything.
"Wang Kai, what are you doing? Are you going to favor these two scoundrels!
I've been beaten like this, and my bodyguards have been killed, yet you still want to protect them!
Aren't you afraid of my grandfather dealing with you!"
"Silence! The truth cannot be falsified, and falsehoods cannot be made true. I will ascertain the facts and report them to the family head!
Guards, take Young Master Wang to get his wounds treated, but don't let him escape. After the treatment, bring him directly to the family head!"
The guards agreed and, like wolves and tigers, pounced on Wang Tianlong. Ignoring his continuous cries of pain, they dragged him straight to the infirmary.
Wang Kai was more than ten years older than Wang Bingxia and had watched her grow up. He knew very well what kind of person Wang Bingxia was.
He also knew very well the character of this universally detested Wang Tianlong.
He was more inclined to believe Wang Bingxia than to heed Wang Tianlong's nonsensical claims.
"Thank you, Brother Kai!"
"Are you alright, Miss Bingxia?"
"I'm fine!"
"Young Master, are you injured? Do you need to go to the infirmary?"
"No need, thank you, Brother, for upholding justice for us!"
"I am merely acting on facts. I will report this matter to the family head. You two had best go and see the old master, inform him of the truth, and prevent any malicious slander from certain individuals."
Wang Kai said this expressionlessly, but his words had already pointed them in the right direction.
The two expressed their gratitude to Wang Kai and, under the protection of several guards, went to Wang Chunfeng's residence.
Wang Chunfeng, having finished the medicinal soup prescribed by Ling Tian, felt very comfortable. He was just about to go to sleep while the effects were still strong when he received the news of Wang Bingxia and her husband being attacked. His expression immediately turned icy.
"Bring that beast Wang Tianlong in here!"
Before long, Wang Tianlong, swathed in bandages like a mummy, was brought into the old master's study.
At this moment, Wang Bingxia and Ling Tian also arrived.
Seeing his grandfather's murderous expression and the gaze that could kill, Wang Tianlong, forgetting his pain, immediately knelt on the ground. "Grandfather, I..."
Before he could finish, Old Master Wang Chunfeng suddenly roared, "Shut up, you beast!"
Wang Tianlong was so startled that he swallowed his words, nearly biting his tongue.
At this moment, the old master's expression suddenly softened, and his gaze turned gentle as he looked at Wang Bingxia.
"Bingxia, tell Grandpa what happened!"
So, Wang Bingxia recounted the entire incident to the old master Wang.
After Wang Bingxia finished speaking, Wang Kai stepped forward and said, "Family Head, I have reviewed the surveillance footage from the courtyard. Miss Bingxia's account is the truth."
Upon hearing this, the old master was furious. He pointed at Wang Tianlong, his breathing trembling.
"Wang Tianlong, you have disappointed me greatly. Your father was never an ambitious man, and I never expected you to be even more disgraceful than him!
You dare to harm our own family members, which shows how much wrongdoing you've committed under the Wang family's banner!"
"Grandfather, I'm being framed!"
"Framed, my foot! If you don't want people to know, don't do it. Do you think I don't know what you've been doing?
You act recklessly every day. To put it bluntly, your actions are enough to get you shot!
Do you know how many times the family has cleaned up your messes behind the scenes? With the family's protection, you would have been executed long ago!"
The old master's anger grew with every word. He had once held great hopes for this grandson, but now, he was completely disillusioned.
This was a piece of trash, a piece of trash that could not be saved.
Ling Tian, watching from the side, saw that the old master was getting too agitated, which was not good for an elder who had just narrowly escaped death.
Ling Tian quickly stepped forward, placed his right hand on several acupoints on the old master's back, and circulated his internal energy. A pure and balanced internal force flowed from Ling Tian's palm, through the old master's acupoints, into his body, and began circulating along his meridians.
As the true qi entered his body, the old master felt a refreshing coolness permeating his limbs and bones. The sensation was incredibly pleasant.
The overwhelming rage that had been building up was now replaced by this coolness, and he immediately calmed down.
"Uh... uh..."
He took several deep breaths before finally composing himself.
"Old Master, please calm down. It's not worth it to get angry and harm your own health because of someone else's mistakes."
"Alas, it infuriates me! My family has brought shame upon itself!
Our third son, my youngest, I thought his elder brothers would inherit the family business, so I didn't put any pressure on him, letting him grow up happily.
As a result, that fellow was spoiled and became a wastrel. I never expected his son to be so disappointing!"
"Grandfather, children and grandchildren have their own destinies. You don't need to worry about how they develop in the future.
After all, you can't manage them for their entire lives."
"That's true!"
The old master turned his head and looked at Chen Yi, who had arrived after hearing the news.
"Chen Yi, issue my family head's order. Immediately expel Wang Tianlong from the Wang family and remove his name from the genealogy!
Furthermore, confiscate all the shares held by the third son! He should not expect to divide the family assets.
From now on, whether they eat chaff and vegetables or drink the northwest wind, it has nothing to do with our Wang family!"
Wang Tianlong was completely stunned. Being expelled from the genealogy was a devastating blow to any member of a prominent family!
Without the family's protection, he would no longer be able to act arrogantly outside. Worse still, his past enemies would unhesitatingly seek revenge upon him!
