?Chapter 729: Chapter 729: I Alone Take Responsibility for My Actions Chapter 729: Chapter 729: I Alone Take Responsibility for My Actions After everyone had left, only the brothers Xu Xuanqiang and Xu Xuanhao remained in the room.

Xu Xuanhao realized something and asked, “Brother, do you have something to say to me?”

Xu Xuanqiang nodded and his expression immediately turned grave.

He said in a deep voice, “Regarding the ‘Young Master Tian’ incident, Xu Fan seems to have found out.”

“What…”

Upon hearing this, Xu Xuanhao’s face changed drastically, and he couldn’t sit still any longer.

He stood up abruptly in shock.

But he accidentally pulled at his wound, causing a sudden sharp pain that made him grimace.

However, he couldn’t care less about the pain at this moment.

Panicked, he grabbed Xu Xuanqiang’s arm and asked anxiously, “What should we do now?

That person didn’t hesitate to kill several of the Lu family members, what’s stopping him from killing the two of us?

If our deeds are exposed, I’m afraid we’ll really be dead.

Maybe…

Brother, we should take this chance to escape?

Yes, let’s flee while they’re not paying attention, the farther the better, and find a place where no one can find us to hide.”

“You need to calm down first,” Xu Xuanqiang said with a frown.

“Calm down?

With everything turning out like this, how can you ask me to stay calm?

Wasn’t it you who insisted on taking down Xihai Media?

If not for that, we wouldn’t have ended up in this mess.”

“What do you mean by saying this now?

Are you suggesting that all of this is my fault?”

“No…

I didn’t mean that.

What I’m asking is, what should we do next?”

Xu Xuanhao was at his wits’ end, having completely lost any sense of direction.

Xu Xuanqiang felt agitated, closed his eyes, and took a long breath.

After a few seconds, he reopened his eyes, revealing a look of resolute determination.

He said in a heavy tone, “You take care of father for me.

Also, say a word to him for me, tell him that his unfilial son, Xu Xuanqiang, can no longer serve at his knees.”

After that, Xu Xuanqiang, without any further attachment, walked towards the door.

It took several seconds for Xu Xuanhao to snap back to reality.

?????.??

He called out hastily, “Brother, what are you going to do?

Come back, let’s discuss this further.”

However, Xu Xuanqiang didn’t turn his head back; he just “bang” shut the door and his footsteps sound died away.

Xu Xuanhao was frantic, but with his heavily injured body, he could barely stand up, let alone chase after Xu Xuanqiang.

He fully understood what Xu Xuanqiang intended to do.

Xu Xuanqiang was ready to take on all the blame alone and sacrifice himself to protect Xu Xuanhao.

Thinking of all this, Xu Xuanhao’s eyes reddened.

“What happened?” Xu Queyuan had finished receiving treatment and was being wheeled out of the room by his personal physician at that moment.

Seeing Xu Xuanhao’s hysterical state, Xu Queyuan furrowed his brows.

“Dad!” Xu Xuanhao turned his head, looked towards Xu Queyuan, and tears immediately flooded his eyes.

…

Meanwhile, Xu Xuanqiang left the room and headed straight for the reception hall.

At first, his steps were heavy as if he was a condemned prisoner walking to the execution ground.

But gradually, his steps became brisk.

His demeanor turned calm as if he had let go of worldly concerns.

As he encountered family members along the way who greeted him, Xu Xuanqiang would respond with a smile and a nod.

Everything seemed just like any other day.

Before long, Xu Xuanqiang arrived outside the reception hall.

Outside the hall, many people were still discussing animatedly, nearly all of them from Xu Xuanyi’s faction of the Xu family.

The center of their conversations revolved around Xu Fan and Xu Yixue’s marriage.

“Eh, why is he here?” After quite a while, one of the Xu family members finally turned his head, caught sight of Xu Xuanqiang standing at the door, and was immediately surprised, then his brows knitted together.

Upon hearing this, the others also turned their heads to look, with expressions of disgust emerging on their faces.

They all knew that one of the main culprits behind the Xu family’s crisis was this man.

One of those with a fiery temper couldn’t hold back his anger and scolded, “Why aren’t you hiding in your room?

How dare you show your face here?

You colluded with outsiders to set up the family head, you don’t deserve to be part of our Xu family!”

Once someone started, the rest of the crowd also joined in the indignation, pointing fingers and hurling accusations.

“How could I have not seen that you’re such a heartless and ruthless person?”

“I must have been blind; I nearly cast an approving vote for you before.”

“Hurry back and don’t embarrass yourself here anymore.”

“You’ve completely disgraced our Xu Family…”

…

Facing the unanimous accusations from everyone, Xu Xuanqiang didn’t argue or dispute, but stood there silently, not saying a word.

In his eyes, there was even a hint of relief and composure.

“What happened?” Xu Xuanyi and others noticed the commotion outside the door and came out to see.

The Xu family members surrounding Xu Xuanqiang made way for Xu Xuanyi and the others.

“Is it you?” Seeing Xu Xuanqiang, Xu Xuanyi frowned involuntarily and asked, “What are you doing here?”

“I came here to tell you that I am ‘Tianshao’!” Xu Xuanqiang looked at Xu Xuanyi calmly and said.

The people around looked at each other, not understanding the meaning of Xu Xuanqiang’s words.

However, Xu Xuanyi’s face changed abruptly, “What did you say?!”

Xu Xuanqiang emphasized again, “Tianshao is me; I am the one behind everything.”

Xu Xuanyi’s expression changed, and then he asked the rest of the Xu family to disperse.

He then told the guests who had come to offer congratulations to go to the restaurant to dine first.

The crowd sensed there was an issue and expressed understanding as they followed the Grand Elder and others to the restaurant first.

Soon, only Xu Xuanyi and his wife, Xu Fan, Xu Yixue, and Elder Xu among a few others were left here.

Even Tongtong was led away to play by the old turtle.

Xu Xuanqiang sat down on a chair and said calmly, “So you’re planning to interrogate me, are you?

Just ask away.

I will spare no detail.”

Xu Yixue looked incredulously at Xu Xuanqiang, her voice trembling as she asked, “Could it really be…

that it was you who did it?”

She still remembered how good her uncle had been to her when she was young.

She couldn’t remember exactly when, but the atmosphere at home had started to change; people from the two factions of the Xu family became incompatible, more like enemies than relatives.

Xu Xuanqiang nodded, “Yes, I did it all.”

Xu Yixue’s delicate body trembled, and she stepped back a few paces.

That time, if it hadn’t been for Xu Fan turning the tide, Xinghai Media would have collapsed, and she would have had no choice but to marry Shi You after losing the gambling match.

She never imagined that her own uncle, Xu Xuanqiang, would be the mastermind behind the scenes.

Previously, Xu Xuanqiang had been very eager to push her into a marriage with Shi You, which she thought was just a bit rash, but she had never imagined that her uncle would be so insidious.

This truth was something Xu Yixue found difficult to accept in the moment.

Xu Fan gently embraced Xu Yixue, offering her comfort.

Xu Xuanyi frowned and said, “Then why did you choose to confess the truth to us now, of all times?”

Xu Xuanyi glanced at Xu Fan and said with a wry smile, “Do you think I wanted to confess?

My plan was to take this secret to the grave.

But you have a great son-in-law, who seems to know everything.

Since he already knows, how could I not admit it?”

Xu Fan said indifferently, “I only learned the truth after meeting him too.”

Elder Xu asked, “What exactly happened from start to finish?”

“This is how it went…”

So Xu Fan briefly explained the situation with Xinghai Media to Elder Xu.

After listening, Elder Xu was visibly infuriated.

But since this was ultimately a matter for the Xu Family, Elder Xu didn’t want to overstep and left it to Xu Xuanyi to decide how to deal with it.

Xu Xuanyi said, “Now that you all know the truth, to kill or to slash, I am at your mercy.
