"Xie Xuanzi, you bastard! Let me go! Do you know who I am?" Xiao Jun roared angrily.
Turning to him, Xie Xuanzi smiled and nodded, "Of course, I know. You are a rotten criminal."
"You—!"
Before he could say another word, Xie Xuanzi said, "Gag him. He’s too noisy."
A soldier picked up a floor cloth nearby and shoved it into Xiao Jun’s mouth, making him feel nauseous and shutting him off.
After he was dragged away, Xie Xuanzi turned to Grandpa Xiao and said, "Old General, I will take my leave now. Please take good care of your health so you can live a few years longer."
As soon as he finished his words, he turned around and left the Xiao mansion.
Grandpa Xiao was so angry that the pain in his chest intensified. Seeing this, Uncle Wen was alarmed. He quickly took the heart medicine from the cabinet and fed it to Grandpa Xiao.
"Master, please calm your anger," he said while rubbing Grandpa Xiao’s back.
After a while, Grandpa Xiao finally calmed down. He still felt the tightness in his chest but was no longer out of breath. Holding onto Uncle Wen’s hand, he said, "Call the eldest and tell him to save his brother’s life!"
Uncle Wen nodded and said, "Master, I will make the call right away."
At the same time, Xiao Feng was in the middle of a meeting when Uncle Wen made the phone call, so he only learned that his second brother had been arrested from Xie Xuanzi in the evening.
Sitting in his office, he let out a cold laugh as he said, "Captain Xie, you don’t have to worry about the Xiao family. I will take care of them. Just deal with the case according to the law."
Hearing this, Xie Xuanzi nodded and replied, "Understood."
While the capital was under a tense atmosphere, another day passed.
To avoid his father, Xiao Feng didn’t return to the Xiao mansion for several days, while his wife went to visit her parents’ house in another city.
As for Xiao Yiguan and Xiao Yiqing, one of them was on a mission and couldn’t be contacted, while the other lived her leisurely life at the military compound.
Ten days later, Xiao Jun’s case finally went to its first trial. At ten o’clock in the morning, the courtroom was filled with people who came to watch.
Most of those who came were either family members of the victims harmed by Xiao Jun or people sent by politicians from other cities.
Besides them, the Xiao family relatives also attended the court, including Grandpa Xiao and Uncle Wen. After ten days, he already knew it was impossible to ask his eldest son to save his second son.
Due to this matter, the father and son no longer spoke to each other. At the same time, Xiao Feng and his family had already moved out of the Xiao family mansion while Grandpa Xiao was away visiting a friend to ask for help.
