Seeing this situation, Old Madam Long finally could not suppress the dissatisfaction in her heart and spoke up, "Old Master Jiang, your granddaughter Jiang Youli ran to my Long family two days ago and beat up my son! Originally, your daughter-in-law confidently promised me that she could make Jiang Youli apologize to us. But looking at the current situation, I'm afraid they simply don't have the ability to do so. As the head of the Jiang family, shouldn't you step up and give our Long family an explanation?"
Hearing this, Old Master Jiang shook his head and replied, "From today onwards, I have decided to hand over the management of the Jiang family to my granddaughter, Jiang Youli. So if your Long family insists on pursuing this to the end, go directly to her. I am no longer in charge."
Jiang Yangxu, who was deep in pain, instantly snapped awake upon hearing this. Since the old man wasn't giving him a way out, there was no need for him to be soft-hearted anymore!
Regarding Old Master Jiang's decision, Old Madam Long was stunned at first. After recovering, she revealed a disdainful smile, "You really have the nerve to confidently hand over the huge Jiang family to a wet-behind-the-ears little girl? Aren't you afraid she'll offend people everywhere and quickly bring the Jiang family to ruin?"
Facing Old Madam Long's questioning and mockery, Old Master Jiang coughed twice and responded unhurriedly, "That's still better than an old man with one foot in the grave like me, not to mention my second son who never accomplishes anything but always ruins things."
As for the eldest son, Jiang Yehan, he obviously still wanted to guard his own little piece of land. Having him take over the Jiang family was absolutely impossible.
Confirming that the old man had truly made up his mind, Jiang Yangxu glared unwillingly at Jiang Youli. Clenching his fists tightly, his weak tone carried a trace of ferocity, "Dad, it seems Yulian was right. You really are possessed or have been poisoned with Gu by Jiang Youli. I need to have someone examine you!"
Old Master Jiang frowned, his face cold, "What possession and Gu! Absolute nonsense!"
Jiang Yangxu said with a gloomy face, "Whether you are possessed or controlled by Jiang Youli's Gu, an examination will tell! Fortunately, I took precautions early on and had Yulian make ample preparations! Otherwise, Dad, you would truly ruin the Jiang family's legacy!"
He could endure losing a finger, but for the entire Jiang family legacy to fall into Jiang Youli's hands, he absolutely could not tolerate!
"Has everyone arrived?" Jiang Yangxu asked.
Qin Yulian nodded, "They're here."
"Let them in."
Receiving the instruction, Qin Yulian immediately picked up the walkie-talkie from her pocket and ordered, "Everyone, come in!"
Shortly after, many bodyguards suddenly rushed in from outside the villa, surrounding the entire living room tightly.
This was the preparation Qin Yulian had made!
She was also afraid of unexpected changes today, so she had borrowed thirty bodyguards from her maiden family to stand by outside the manor! Adding the original bodyguards of the West District Villa, there were forty in total!
To think they actually came in handy!
Jiang Youli looked out the door; altogether, there were probably forty or fifty of these bodyguards.
Heh, it seemed Jiang Yangxu and Qin Yulian had also made full preparations for today's show.
"Except for those four, tie everyone else up!" Qin Yulian ordered, pointing at Old Madam Long, Long Yuan, Long Junyu, and Jiang Li.
Seeing this, Old Madam Long sneered inwardly. It seemed Jiang Yangxu's family wasn't too stupid after all, not leaving themselves without a backup plan.
Long Junyu also breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought the apology was going to fall through again!
Old Master Jiang's face turned ashen. "What are you trying to do!"
"Dad, I know you must be being controlled. I don't want you to wake up and regret making the decision to hand the Jiang family over to Jiang Youli, which would destroy the family." Jiang Yangxu finished speaking and coldly instructed, "Hurry up and tie them up."
"Yes." The bodyguards nodded and began to split up to tie people up.
Seeing that they were also about to be tied up, Qi An'an's three best friends loudly questioned, "What are you trying to do?"
Enduring the pain, Jiang Yangxu warned, "Our Jiang family's domestic affairs have nothing to do with you. But since you insisted on joining the fun today, just stay here obediently for now."
Qi An'an comforted her best friends, saying, "Don't worry, my Brother Huan is here. If they dare to mess around, they're dead!"
The three best friends looked at Qi Huan. Seeing his calm and normal expression, they nodded.
Their families were also prominent figures in the capital circle. If Jiang Yangxu and his wife dared to touch them today, they definitely wouldn't let their families spare the couple once they returned.
Old Master Jiang was furious, "You wicked creature! Do you know what you are doing? Hurry up and have these bodyguards retreat!"
Jiang Yangxu remained unmoved. "Dad, I'm sorry. Since you said you are no longer the head of the Jiang family, there is no need for me to listen to you. Yulian, quickly go invite the two masters out to examine Dad's body!"
"Okay."
Qin Yulian hastily got up and ran toward the corridor.
Old Master Zhang and his wife looked at the approaching bodyguards and sneered, "Jiang Yangxu, how dare you!"
Jiang Yangxu said coldly, "As long as you don't resist, I won't make things difficult for you."
Old Madam Zhang looked at her son, who was itching to make a move, and said in a deep voice, "Nobody move. Let them tie us up!"
Only then did the five middle-aged men dismiss the thought of resisting.
Everyone else was tied up. In the end, only three people were left: Jiang Youli, Qi Huan, and Cheng Jing, who was responsible for pushing Qi Huan's wheelchair.
The hands of the two bodyguards tasked with tying up Jiang Youli immediately went numb the moment they touched her clothes, and their entire palms quickly turned dark purple.
Terrified, they shook off their hands, looking at their purplish-black hands in panic, at a loss for what to do.
Holding a silver needle in her hand, Jiang Youli said casually, "Don't come near me. I have poison on me, and anyone who gets close will be poisoned."
Jiang Yangxu frowned. "Step back. Stay away from her."
The bodyguards who wanted to tie up Jiang Youli, Qi Huan, and Cheng Jing immediately backed away from the three of them.
Jiang Yangxu threatened, "Jiang Youli, it doesn't matter if we can't tie you up, but if you dare to make a careless move, your parents will be in danger!"
Jiang Youli also narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "If you dare to touch my parents, your son Jiang Xing will also be finished, and your son Jiang Zhao will never wake up again."
Jiang Yangxu snorted coldly. He would just let her put up a stubborn resistance for a while!
Before long, Qin Yulian returned to the living room with two elderly men. She said seriously, "Please, you two masters, help check on my family's old man to see if he is possessed or has been poisoned with Gu."
Speaking of this, she looked toward the Long family's side. "For today's matter, I would also like to ask Old Madam Long and Young Master Long to be our witnesses."
Old Madam Long was already intending to deal with Jiang Youli, so she naturally nodded gladly, "No problem."
Long Yuan gave a hum of agreement.
One of the old men, wearing a grayish-white Taoist robe, stepped forward first holding a talisman paper. He burned the talisman paper in front of Old Master Jiang, then closed his eyes and began chanting an incantation.
After a good while, he opened his eyes and shook his head. Turning back to Jiang Yangxu and Qin Yulian, he said, "Mr. Jiang, Second Madam, Old Master Jiang is not possessed."
Qin Yulian nodded, "Thank you for your trouble."
Immediately after, she looked at the other old Gu master, "Master Luo, please examine the old man to see if someone has planted a Gu in him."
She had already instructed Master Luo in advance. Even if he could not find a Gu worm inside the old master's body, he was to plant one there himself, cementing the claim that the old master had been cursed!
At this thought, Qin Yulian glared viciously at the unbound Jiang Youli. "If the old master really has been cursed with Gu, you are doomed!"
Jiang Youli gave a mocking smile. "You are the ones who are doomed."
The old man in traditional Miao clothing remained silent. Holding a string of bells, he stepped forward. However, instead of approaching Old Master Jiang, he walked right up to Jiang Youli and smiled at her. "Girl Li, it has been a long time."
