Ch 42: Su Chen’s Counterattack
Su Yingwei’s voice resonated powerfully, echoing throughout the spacious ancestral house.
The other Su Family members in the house all stood up at that moment, their gazes unfriendly as they looked at Su Chen, intending to intimidate him.
Grand Uncle Su Liyan immediately slammed his hand on the table and stood up, “What are you doing? Are you trying to rebel!”
“Rebellion?” Su Yingwei said dismissively, “Uncle Yan, one can eat food carelessly, but one cannot speak carelessly. We are purging the Su Family of criminals, not rebelling.”
“Furthermore, since he became the Head of the Family, the Su Family has declined day by day. What qualifications does he have to be the Head of the Family!” Su Yingwei’s expression showed disdain.
Su Liyan angrily said, “You are acting recklessly! Su Chen is the legitimate grandson of Su Wenhan, and this Su Family was founded single-handedly by Su Wenhan. What right do you have to remove him!”
Su Yingwei frowned and said, “Uncle Yan, I don’t like what you’re saying. What do you mean the Su Family was founded single-handedly by Su Wenhan? If it weren’t for the painstaking efforts of us in the clan, could the Su Family have developed?”
“Now you actually say that the Su Family belongs solely to Su Wenhan. You are being utterly unjust!”
Su Yingwei’s influence was immense, and under his lead, everyone in the room began to reproach Su Liyan, their emotions excited.
They were not unaware that the Su Family was indeed founded single-handedly by Su Wenhan. Strictly speaking, it was indeed the Su Family of Su Wenhan’s lineage, and they were merely collateral branches.
Of course, they would absolutely not admit this. On the contrary, they would desperately deny it, as this was the only way to achieve their maximum interests.
When Su Wenhan and Su Sibo were still alive, even if they harbored dissatisfaction, they dared not show it. But now that these two people who could suppress them were dead, leaving only a young Su Chen, they immediately became fearless.
Seeing this situation, Su Liyan trembled with anger, pointing at them and angrily scolding, “Ingratitude! You people are showing ingratitude!”
Su Yingwei glared at him and coldly said, “Su Liyan, you are excessively partial to Su Chen and are unworthy of being a Clan Elder of our Su Family.”
“You!!”
Su Liyan was instantly enraged, his face flushed red. He pointed at Su Yingwei and almost couldn’t stand steady. Seeing this, Su Chen quickly went over to support him, injecting True Dragon Spiritual Energy into Su Liyan’s body.
Immediately, Su Liyan gradually calmed down.
Su Liyan’s condition had been very dangerous just now; his rage had attacked his heart. If Su Chen hadn’t injected True Dragon Spiritual Energy in time, something serious might have happened.
“Grand Uncle, don’t get excited. Leave this matter to me.” Su Chen helped Su Liyan to sit down and comforted him gently.
Su Liyan’s emotions gradually relaxed, but he still worriedly said to Su Chen, “Head of the Family, be careful. Don’t fall into their trap!”
Su Chen smiled, “Rest assured, I have the nuance.”
After saying this, Su Chen turned around, his smile gone, and he looked coldly at Su Yingwei and the others.
“You want to remove me from my position as Head of the Family?” he said calmly.
Su Yingwei loudly said, “That’s right!”
“However, for the sake of your grandfather and your father, we can give you some dignity. Resign due to fault yourself.”
With one sentence, he decided Su Chen’s fate, as if the Su Family was his.
Su Chen laughed, as if he had heard a very humorous joke, “Hahahahahaha…”
Su Yingwei’s face immediately turned gloomy, “What are you laughing at!”
The others also looked at Su Chen with dissatisfaction. At such a serious moment, Su Chen was still able to laugh. He was utterly unworthy of being the Head of the Su Family.
After Su Chen finished laughing, he said to Su Yingwei and the others, “I’m laughing because you people have no qualifications to remove me from my position as Head of the Family.”
Originally, Su Chen had great respect for Su Yingwei. After all, he was an elder. But Su Yingwei’s actions at this moment were utterly undeserving of respect.
Su Yingwei coldly said, “Su Chen, Su Chen, it seems you don’t know at all what you have done and how much negative influence you’ve brought to the Su Family!”
Su Chen said, “I’d like to hear more details.”
Su Yingwei coldly snorted, “Firstly, you were publicly broken up with by the Han Family, making the Su Family the laughingstock of Dragon City. The reputation the Su Family accumulated over decades has been completely ruined by you!”
“Secondly, thanks to you, the Su Family Metal Factory was taken over by the Han Family, causing the Su Family to lose tens of millions of assets! You, a person like this, what qualifications do you have to be the Head of the Family!”
Other Su Family members joined in denouncing Su Chen, all expressing their support for removing Su Chen from his position as Head of the Family.
It has to be said that they were numerous, and their influence was quite substantial. A previous Su Chen might have been intimidated by them.
But the current Su Chen only wanted to laugh.
Su Chen did not deny that because of his trusting a villain, he brought some negative influence to the Su Family. This was his responsibility, and he would not shirk it.
But he would also not resign due to fault because of a single mistake.
The position of Head of a Family is not a child’s plaything, let alone that this Su Family was founded by his grandfather! Except for their lineage, the other Su Family members are all subordinate branches. They do not control much of the Su Family’s core assets, nor have they made any positive contributions to the Su Family. How could Su Chen possibly give up his position as Head of the Family?
Most importantly, Su Chen was very clear about one thing: if he really let these people control the Su Family, it would only cause the Su Family to decline even faster!
Therefore, Su Chen would absolutely not abdicate. Moreover, Su Chen had now activated the True Dragon Sacred Body. He was no longer a nobody. Only by him taking charge of the Su Family could the Su Family soar to great heights!
“Firstly, this Su Family was founded single-handedly by my grandfather. He passed it on to my father, and then my father passed it on to me. You collateral branches have absolutely no qualifications or ability to remove me from my position as Head of the Family!”
“Secondly, who says I was broken up with by the Han Family? That night, I clearly broke off the engagement with Han Qianxue, so there is no such thing as the Su Family’s reputation being ruined.”
“Instead, you, before the matter was investigated clearly, gathered privately and even threatened to remove me as Head of the Family. Do you still have the Rules of the Su Family in your eyes!”
Su Chen spoke with power, silencing everyone for a moment.
They all stared at Su Chen with astonished expressions. Compared to the content of Su Chen’s words, they were even more shocked by Su Chen’s confidence and authority. This did not match their impression of Su Chen.
You see, the previous Su Chen was very restrained and timid.
Su Yingwei was also stunned, as if he was meeting Su Chen for the first time.
However, there’s no turning back an arrow after it’s been shot. Tonight, no matter what, Su Yingwei must remove Su Chen as Head of the Family; otherwise, he would never get ahead in the Su Family.
“You’re being unreasonable and making excuses!” Su Yingwei said coldly, “No matter how much you say, it cannot wash away the fact that due to your mistake, the Metal Factory worth tens of millions fell into the hands of the Han Family!”
Su Chen had expected him to say this, and he directly took out the contract he had signed with Han Qianrou, slapping it on the table, “Take a look at what this is.”
Su Tian immediately went over and picked up the contract. He quickly browsed through it and then showed a surprised expression, “This is… a contract for the Han Family to return the Su Family Metal Factory! And it’s an unconditional return!”
Su Tian looked at Su Chen with shock, “How did you do it?”
Su Yingwei immediately walked quickly over and snatched the contract from Su Tian’s hand. After reading it, his eyes widened, “The Han Family really unconditionally returned the Metal Factory to us?”
Su Chen sat down elegantly, crossing his legs, “What do you think?”
Su Yingwei confirmed that the contract was real, and his face immediately became ugly. In other words, his actions tonight were going to fail?
He felt resentment!
