Chapter 74 Zhang Fan is my way out!

The living room was so quiet that you could even hear everyone's breathing.

Zhang Hongcheng and his brothers and sisters were filled with shock and fear.

The old man called them here this time not to distribute the 39% shares, but for Zhang Fan!

Someone hired Tang Long from Demon Dragon Mountain to assassinate Zhang Fan!!!

"Dad, what happened? How is Xiaofan now?"

Zhang Hongcheng's face changed drastically, he was shocked, angry, and anxious.

"Don't worry! You won't die!"

Zhang Xuanling snorted coldly and did not show a good look to his fourth son:

"As a father, you didn't even know your son was being hunted down, and you still have the nerve to ask me?"

Zhang Hongcheng didn't take the old man's scolding to heart. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you're okay! It's good that you're okay!"

"Humph!"

Zhang Xuanling was too lazy to pay attention to him. He looked at his other children and said indifferently:
"Tell me, who did it?"

Zhang Hongcheng glanced at his brothers and sisters behind him and said hesitantly:
"Dad, do you suspect that my brothers and sisters sent someone to assassinate Xiaofan?"

"Can't this be done?"

"Old Four is right!"

The second oldest, Zhang Hongmeng, couldn't help but ask, "Dad, Xiaofan is our nephew, how could we possibly harm him?"

At this point, Zhang Hongmeng hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Dad, are you mistaken?"

Zhang Hongmeng is the second child in the Zhang family and one of the three great golden elixirs in the Zhang family. His status is much higher than his other brothers and sisters.

He dared to question the old man, no one else dared to say a word!

Zhang Xuanling looked at his second son: "Although I am not a good father!"

"But I won't blindly suspect my own children without knowing the truth!"

Zhang Hongmeng remained silent.

Since the old man said this, he must have known the truth.

Zhang Xuanling said coldly: "Whoever did it, come out!"

"For the sake of our father-son relationship, I will give you a chance!"

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless and cruel without caring about the father-son relationship!"

All the children lowered their heads and no one dared to say a word at this time.

They all knew that the old man was angry, very angry!

This scares them.

Even though the old man is their father, he is only their biological father and they don't have much affection for him.

Just as the old man said before, he had experienced the end of the world, seen too many human tragedies, and didn't trust anyone!
Therefore, he is ruthless and merciless in his actions. Even if the children irritate the old man, he will most likely show no mercy!

"You don't admit it, do you?"

Zhang Xuanling's voice was grim and murderous: "I've given you the chance, but you didn't seize it!"

"Then you can't blame me!"

Zhang Xuanling snorted coldly, his eyes fell on one of his sons:
"Old Ten!"

The tenth one?

Zhang Hongcheng and other brothers all looked at Lao Shi with surprise, shock and disbelief on their faces.

"Old Ten, did you hire Tang Long from Demon Dragon Mountain to assassinate Xiao Fan?"

"Why are you doing this? Xiaofan is your nephew!"

Zhang Hongcheng grabbed Lao Shi's neck and questioned loudly.

The other brothers and sisters also looked at the Tenth Brother, but they were not angry.

But shocked.

Of course they wanted to kill Zhang Fan, but they didn't dare!
They don't have the guts.

Unexpectedly, this guy Lao Shi not only dared to do it, but also did it!
Awesome!
It’s so awesome, a little cow is flying a plane, so awesome!

"Dad, I didn't... I didn't... I didn't hire anyone to assassinate Xiaofan... I didn't! I am innocent!"

Old Ten fell to his knees, his face pale and tears streaming down his face:
"Dad, even if you give me the courage of heaven, I wouldn't dare to do that!"

"Someone must have framed me! Yes! Yes! Framed me... Dad, you must take care of it for me!"

"You don't have the guts, but you're stupid! You're hopelessly stupid! You don't even realize you're being used as a gun!"

Zhang Xuanling said coldly: "The Shengde Company under your name has been smuggling supplies into the wilderness area, right?"

"Yes, Dad!"

Lao Shi's voice trembled: "But I didn't hire Tang Long!"

"I just make a little money through smuggling to support my family. I never thought of assassinating Xiaofan!"

The wilderness area is home to many criminals, wanted criminals, and wilderness bandits.

These people also need to eat, drink, and use weapons!
But state law prohibits the sale of supplies to wilderness areas.

Because of this law, supplies in wilderness areas are very scarce.

Therefore, smuggling supplies into the wilderness area contains huge profits!

Some people with great means find ways to sell supplies to the wilderness area and make huge profits from it!

Shengde Transportation Company under Lao Shi's name does this.

Anything that is needed in the wilderness area and can make money.

Rice, flour, grain, oil, wine, beverages, clothes, shoes, even weapons and equipment... they get it all!
"You didn't hire Tang Long, but a few days ago, your Shengde Company smuggled a batch of supplies with Demon Dragon Mountain. Am I right?"

Zhang Xuanling asked coldly.

"No... that's the case!"

Lao Shi wanted to deny it, but when he saw the old man's cold eyes, he knew it was useless to quibble, so he had to admit it.

"Then do you know that someone bribed your men to put a few things in this batch of supplies?"

Zhang Xuanling said coldly.

"I don't know! Dad, I really don't know this, please understand clearly, Dad!" Lao Shi cried bitterly. "If you knew, do you think you would still be alive today?"

Zhang Xuanling snorted coldly and suddenly looked at his other son:
"Old Eight, Old Ten doesn't know, but you should know, right?"

Laoba?

What does this have to do with Lao Ba? Could it be that Lao Ba did it?

Everyone looked at Lao Ba again, with strange looks in their eyes.

The eighth brother lowered his head and said nothing, but he didn't tremble or cry like the tenth brother. Instead, he was very quiet.

"Old Eight, what else do you have to say?" Zhang Xuanling said coldly.

Faced with the old man's questioning and the confused looks of his brothers and sisters, Lao Ba suddenly sneered and raised his head.

There was no fear on his face, just a bit of unwillingness:

"Dad, you've already investigated everything, why are you asking me again?"

"boom--"

There was an uproar.

Everyone looked at Lao Ba as if they had seen a ghost, with expressions of disbelief and disbelief on their faces.

It turned out that it was Lao Ba who hired Tang Long from Demon Dragon Mountain to assassinate Zhang Fan?

Why on earth did he do this? And what was he trying to achieve?
The eighth brother is different from the tenth brother. He is the most successful entrepreneur among his brothers and sisters, and his net worth has already exceeded 10 billion!

He hired someone to assassinate Zhang Fan?

It doesn’t make sense!
It doesn't make sense at all!
"Old Eight, why are you doing this?" Zhang Hongcheng asked with red eyes.

The eighth brother smiled calmly and said, "Fourth brother, I don't have the talent for cultivation. If I want to stand out, I can only make money!"

"I have worked hard for 20 years and finally have everything I have now!"

"But what about your son?"

"But because of what my father said, I easily got something dozens of times more than I did. Is this fair?"

Lao Ba looked at Zhang Xuanling: "Dad, I didn't dare to ask you before, but now I have nothing to worry about!"

"I just want to ask one thing, we are all your sons, daughters, and grandchildren, why are you so partial?"

"40% of the shares were all given to Zhang Fan alone!"

"Why should he?"

"Is he worthy?"

Lao Ba yelled with red eyes: "Dad, you are too biased!"

Lao Ba has always felt that he has the best chance among the brothers to inherit the Zhang Group because he is the best at making money!
Even many directors of the group were optimistic about him and secretly expressed that they would support him in the future.

So Lao Ba has always dreamed of taking over the old man's baton, taking charge of the Zhang Group and becoming the controller of the group.

But unexpectedly, the old man would give 40% of the group's shares to Zhang Fan, which completely shattered Lao Ba's dream.

He was unwilling! He was angry!
He repressed! He hated!
In the end, he thought of killing Zhang Fan to prevent future troubles!
As long as Zhang Fan dies, the shares will return to the old man, and his probability of inheritance will still be the highest!

Zhang Xuanling looked at his eighth son and said indifferently, "If it were someone else, I wouldn't bother to say a word and would just kill him with one palm!"

"But you are my son, I will make you die knowingly!"

Zhang Xuanling looked at his other children again and said coldly: "Listen to me, I will only say this once!"

Zhang Hongcheng and others pricked up their ears.

"Honestly, to you sons and daughters, to your children!"

Zhang Xuanling said calmly: "I don't have deep feelings!"

"It's the same for you and Zhang Fan!"

"Just ask Lao Si and you'll know. Before Zhang Fan awakened, I had only seen him a few times!"

"So I treat Zhang Fan, you, and your children equally, and I have never been partial to anyone!"

Listening to the old man's words, the children were somewhat disapproving.

He was given shares worth 4000 billion, and he's not partial?
Would it be considered as not being partial if I gave him the remaining 39% of the shares?

"The reason I gave him the shares was just to protect him!"

Zhang Xuanling said lightly.

"Protect?"

Lao Ba was stunned.

Zhang Hongcheng frowned slightly, and the other children were confused.

Zhang Xuanling said in a cold tone: "For me, what is family affection, what is money, what is the continuation of the family!"

"It's all fake!"

"Only one's own cultivation and path are real!"

"But for some reason, my cultivation has not improved at all. To break the deadlock, I have to find another way out!"

Zhang Xuanling looked at his children: "Zhang Fan is my way out!"

Zhang Hongcheng and others looked at each other in bewilderment, thinking it was a bit absurd.

You are a demigod, and Zhang Fan has just awakened. Is he your way out?
Are you kidding me?
"Although Zhang Fan is young and his cultivation is low, he has infinite hope!"

Zhang Xuanling rarely explained: "As long as he is trained properly, he will surpass me and become a demigod one day!"

"Anyway, one day in the future, I will benefit from him!"

"so!"

Zhang Xuanling looked at his children with a cold look in his eyes:
"Zhang Fan is my hope, my future, and my path!"

"Anyone who dares to murder him is strangling my hope, destroying my future, and severing my path!"

"No matter who this kind of person is, whether it's my son or my daughter, he is my biggest enemy!"

"When it comes to my enemies, I only have one approach: kill them!"

As soon as Zhang Xuanling finished speaking, Lao Ba instantly exploded into a ball of blood mist.

Zhang Hongcheng and others looked at this scene and their faces completely lost all color.
