219 The Punishment Cane
Qiao Yue looked at Qiao Ren. Such a thing? What kind of thing? What did the Qiao’s do to her mother?
Qiao Yi looked at Qiao Yue with a vicious gaze. “That b*tch Qiao Qing is dead, so she sent this little b*stard here to disgust me.”
Qiao Yi cracked his fingers.
Qiao Yue stared back at her uncle and said coldly, “You think you’re qualified to call my mother by her name?”
Qiao Yi sneered as he walked towards Qiao Yue.
Qiao Ren and Qiao Jing stood in front of Qiao Yue to shield her from Qiao Yi.
Qiao Ren said, “Second brother, be sensible. This isn’t the place to beat someone up.”
“Qiao Ren, stop pretending. Don’t think that we don’t know how you felt about Qiao Qing back then.” Qiao Ren spat. “And Qiao Jing, look at him. He’s protecting Qiao Yue now. Is there some kind of incest here?”
“Second uncle, please watch your words!” Qiao Jing said coldly.
Qiao Li was still sensible as he pulled Qiao Yi and whispered to him, “The old master is still alive. You won’t be able to get back your assets even if you do this. What if the old master detests you even more?”
Qiao Yi looked at Qiao Li and chuckled. “Third brother, do you think I’m afraid of them? They just don’t know who’s behind me. How can the Qiao family compete with the power of D-Country?”
“So, you are admitting it?” Qiao Yue chuckled before she continued, “Colluding with Trand and Mahad, trafficking women, and smuggling drugs.”
“My good nephew, these are all conjectures. You don’t have any evidence.” Qiao Yi shrugged. “Even if you tell the old master, I’ll continue to work with them. None of you can do anything. You can only obediently hand over the Qiao family assets.”
“I will continue to work with them. Just wait and see.” Qiao Yi chuckled. “I’ll let that b*tch mother of yours and her little b*stard see how I’m going to drag you both down with me!”
Qiao Yi was about to leave when he was stopped by Qiao Ren.
Qiao Ren’s eyes were filled with rage, like he was about to kill Qiao Yi.
“Big brother, after so many years, you still haven’t let go… Ah!”
Before he could finish his sentence, he was slapped to the ground by Qiao Ren, and his face quickly swelled.
Qiao Ze rushed forward to shield Qiao Yi.
“Uncle, you shouldn’t have slapped my father.”
Everyone was shocked. Qiao Ze usually didn’t care about family matters, but this time, he actually took his father’s side. It was really shocking.
Qiao Li also rushed forward and stood between his brothers. “Big brother, second brother, stop fighting. It won’t be good if the old master got wind of this.”
Qiao Yi got up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, pushed Qiao Ze and Qiao Li aside, and reached out to slap Qiao Ren.
The living room was thrown into chaos. Qiao Ren and Qiao Yi were fighting. Qiao Ying, who had never seen such a scene, fainted. The madams wanted to stop the fight, but no one dared to step forward.
A few boys from the third generation were also in the scuffle.
“Alright! Who allowed you to fight at home!”
Amidst the chaos, Old Master Qiao’s voice rang from the top of the stairs.
“Are you guys trying to anger me to death?” Old Master Qiao’s eyebrows were raised in anger. “You unfilial descendants, it’s one thing for you to fight over the family assets and collude with unsavory forces, but now you want to kill each other?”
Old Master Qiao walked to the center of the chaos and looked at Qiao Ren and Qiao Yi, who were both on the floor.
They had gone all out just now, with the intention of hurting the other party, and now both of them were seriously injured.
Qiao Yi wanted to drag Qiao Yue into it, but Qiao Yu and Qiao Jing had been protecting her, so she was unharmed.
Qiao Ze, Qiao Jing, and Qiao Yu, on the other hand, had taken a few blows from Qiao Yi.
“I made the announcement today to warn you against collusion with those unsavory forces.” The old master said to his two worthless sons. “Fetch the punishment cane.”
Tao Xi walked out. She was now in charge of upholding the Qiao family rules, so the punishment cane was with her.
“Dad, the weather is so cold. Are you really going to cane them?”
“Yes!” The old master’s tone was firm.
Tao Xi left for a while and brought back the punishment cane and handed it to the old master.
The old master handed the punishment cane to a few security guards. “Qiao Ren and Qiao Yi, beating up own brother, ten strokes each. Qiao Li stood by and did nothing. Five strokes. And the grandchildren, one stroke each.”
With that, the Qiao descendants knelt on the floor to receive their punishment.
Except for Qiao Yi, who sat on the floor staring at the old master.
