During the Zhao family’s anniversary celebration, someone stabbed the young master of the Zhao family with a knife and was quickly taken to the police station. This news quickly spread throughout the entire circle.

Even Su Ruixin, who was far away abroad, also received the news. An overseas phone call reached the Mu family overnight. In the end, Zhao Youlin had to repeatedly guarantee that she and the child would be fine. She could run, jump, eat, and sleep. She also promised Su Ruixin that she would not randomly go to dangerous places in the future. Even if she was in danger, she had to remember to protect herself first. Finally, she managed to pacify Su Ruixin.

On the other hand, Mu Tingfeng did not receive the same treatment as Zhao Youlin. The former master and his father had called him twice in a row. One was to accuse him of failing to protect his daughter-in-law, which made Su Ruixin worry so much that she could not sleep. The other was to open his mouth and scold him. The last sentence was that he could not even protect his loved one. He was still too inexperienced.

Mu Tingfeng’s face was dark. He accepted all the accusations from the two elders because they simply echoed the accusations he had for himself. He had been the hardest on himself. He knew that the Zhao family’s anniversary celebration had risks, and he had actually allowed her to attend the banquet alone. Fortunately, that person had gone for Zhao Youming. If Zhao Youlin had been the target, Mu Tingfeng did not dare to imagine what would have happened at that time.

Fortunately, Zhao Youlin did not have the ability to read minds and did not know what Mu Tingfeng was thinking. Otherwise, she would have rolled her eyes at him.

Since this matter had grown so public, the directors of the Zhao Corporation naturally received the news. The hearts of the people who supported Zhao Youming skipped a beat. They sighed to themselves.

When Zhao Yifei was around, they had supported Zhao Yifei. After Zhao Yifei left, they felt that Zhao Youming was decent as a replacement figure. Although he was an illegitimate child, he was still a man. However, they had been on the wrong side in the end.

The directors could not protect themselves. They were afraid that Zhao Youlin and Zhao Shunrong would make trouble for them when they became new officials. Therefore, over the following week’s handover, these people were determined to keep their heads down.

Thanks to these people, the handover to Zhao Youlin and Zhao Shunrong was very smooth. In a week, everyone basically knew that the position of leader of the Zhao group had changed.

Zhao Youming had been holed up at home ever since the incident. Over the past few days, he had been disturbed by a series of interrogations. When he heard the news, he was so angry that he smashed his cup on the spot.

Zhao Shuncheng just happened to come back at that moment. Zhao Youming’s cup was smashed right in front of Zhao Shuncheng.

Zhao Shuncheng was shocked. He thought that Zhao Youming had done it on purpose, and his face darkened.

He had naturally heard about Zhao Youming. He had thought that with Zhao Yifei gone, his son would have a chance to inherit the Zhao family.

That was why he had tried so hard to please Zhao Youming. Who knew that such an incident would occur after such a short period of time? Moreover, he had committed such a murder just like his ignorant mother.

He had just been humiliated by a few friends who had played well with him in the past. He was already in a bad mood. Now that Zhao Youming had done this, Zhao Shuncheng’s anger also rose.

“What is the meaning of that? Do you still take me, your father, seriously?”

Zhao Youming was already in a foul mood. Seeing his annoying father whom he had always looked down on, he couldn’t be bothered to keep up any pretenses. He sneered and said, “I can smash whatever I want with my things at home. It’s none of your business!”

“You!” Zhao Shuncheng saw that Zhao Youming actually dared to talk back to him, and his chauvinism suddenly appeared again. He felt a burst of anger in his heart. “What are you talking about? Is this not my home? I’m your father, the head of this family. So what if I say a few words to you? I can still hit you!”

As Zhao Shuncheng spoke, he raised his hand and slapped Zhao Youming’s face. Zhao youming was caught off guard and was struck squarely. His face was tilted to one side.

Zhao Shuncheng had not expected Zhao Youming to not dodge the blow. He was also stunned when he landed the hit. However, he quickly reacted and snorted. He did not feel that he had done anything wrong.

Zhao Youming was stunned. After a moment, he finally came back to his senses. He touched the corner of his mouth that was hurting. When he saw the dark red blood on his fingertips, Zhao Youming’s face turned gloomy.

“Get out.”

“What?”

“I told you to get out!”

Zhao Shuncheng was stunned. He did not expect that Zhao Youming would talk to him like that. It took him a while to react. “What did you say just now?”

Zhao Youming’s face turned ferocious. He shouted, “I told you to get out! Get out of here!”

This time, Zhao Shuncheng heard it clearly. His son actually told his own father to get out of their house!

Zhao Shuncheng felt that he had been humiliated like never before. His face turned gloomy, and he raised his hand to slap Zhao Youming’s face again.

Zhao Youming was prepared this time. How could he let him succeed? He grabbed Zhao Shuncheng’s wrist and pushed Zhao Shuncheng to the side.

Zhao Shuncheng was old, after all. His body had been drained out by alcohol and sex after all these years. How could he be a match for a young man like Zhao Youming?

With a bang, Zhao Shuncheng crashed into the table in the hall. He grimaced in pain and felt an indescribable anger and humiliation in his heart.

“You unfilial son! How dare you lay a hand on me…”

Before Zhao Shuncheng could finish his sentence, Zhao Youming interrupted him impatiently, “Why shouldn’t I? You’ve been consistently useless and a thorn in the flesh of the former master. You barely had any presence in the company and were inferior to Uncle Shunrong in every way. Why else did I have to work so hard? You only know how to throw yourself at women outside all day long. When have you ever done your duty as a father? And you still want my respect? On what basis?

“On the basis that I’m your father. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have been born at all. Not to mention that I raised you up, fed you, clothed you, and even sent you abroad. What’s going on now? You gave it a shot, and you failed. It’s your failure. It’s one thing for you to go through some unorthodox methods, but you were caught red-handed. Now you want to push the blame onto me.? Heh, I’m useless. You’re not much better than me.”

Zhao Youming’s expression became uglier and uglier as he looked at Zhao Shuncheng’s aggressive manner. He was so angry that he laughed instead. “You fed me and sent me to school? At least bear in mind that what I eat and wear is from the Zhao family, and not just from you, Zhao Shuncheng. Ever since I was young, it was my mother and the servants of this family who raised me. I also relied on my own ability to study abroad. What did that have to do with you?”
