After hearing Xia Ming's words, Xia Ben trembled. The hand he originally stretched out to take the wine glass froze midway.
After a few seconds, he grabbed the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. He lowered his head to eat the food and pretended not to care, "Who did you listen to?"
"Your father told you?"
Xia Ming shook his head with a smile, and there was a bit of sarcasm in his eyes.
"Of course not. Uncle Ben, my relationship with my father has become very distant in the past few years. You really can't see it, can you?"
"Actually, you know everything, but you just hold it back and don't say it, right?"
Xia Ben was silent for a moment and whispered: "Did you kill the water demon and the others?"
Xia Ming smiled and said: "As expected of the second master of our Xia family, the leader of the Iron-Blooded Tigers. I have sealed this news very tightly. I didn't expect you to still find out."
There was a bit of anger in Xia Ben's eyes. He stared at Xia Ming and sneered: "You have personal grudges to deal with the Qin family, and you also have family development considerations."
"Up until now, you have been in charge of all this. How you bought Wolf Howl and what tricks you used, I can turn a blind eye and pretend not to know."
"But, you shouldn't instruct Tong An to kill Huo Yan and Tu Zha."
"Don't forget, they are the elders of our Xia family! They are the people your father trusts the most!"
"Xia Ming, what you do is disobedient!"
"Really, my informant initially told me that he heard Tong An's confession with his own ears in Long Yin's prison. I didn't quite believe it."
"Until you join forces with Heishui to blame Tong An for everything and kill him to silence him."
"Xia Ming, you are too naive. You think this kind of thing is seamless, but do you really think that killing a mere follower to take the blame can get rid of these things?"
"Why did Qin Tian agree to come to pay homage to his birthday? Don't forget, he is Dragon Whip. Qin Chuan, the Western Dragon Master, is his younger brother and obeys his words."
"You are trying to bring trouble into the family and lead it to your father's birthday party!"
"It's his sixtieth birthday, are you going to mess it up?"
He is worthy of being the patron king of the Xia family. Despite his rough and arrogant appearance, in reality nothing can be hidden from his eyes.
His subordinates don't know how many informants are located in various places, including within Longyin in the north.
Seeing Xia Ben's excited look, Xia Ming seemed to have expected it and was not surprised.
He took a sip of wine and said with a faint smile: "Uncle Ben, my dad is about to fire you from your job, why are you still thinking about him so much?"
Xia Ben said angrily: "I'm not thinking about your father, I'm thinking about the Xia family!"
"Do you know how much we people have paid to achieve the status that the Xia family has today?"
"Tomorrow's 60th birthday party is also a symbol of our strength. There will be many celebrities and distinguished guests coming to support us. If we mess up, it will be like a slap in the face of the Xia family. It will affect our reputation in the eyes."
"I'll say it again, inform Qin Tian immediately that Xia Cheng doesn't welcome him! Let him cancel the trip!"
"If you don't do it, then I will have no choice but to issue an order to have the Tiger Legion come forward and keep them out of the city. Xia Ming, don't forget, I am still the general manager now!"
Xia Ming finally got excited and said loudly: "You keep saying it's for the Xia family, but don't you just want to repay Xia Jie for his kindness to you?"
"But don't forget, who introduced you to Xia Jie in the first place! It was my mother!"
"It was my mother who thought you were a talented person, so she asked Xia Jie to train you. Without my mother's recommendation, would you be where you are today?"
"But now, look at what my mother has become. She is only in her fifties, but her hair has already turned gray!"
"She hides everything from me and doesn't say anything to me, but I know everything. Over the years, Xia Jie has been polite to her on the surface, but he has pushed her into the cold palace!"
