The Strongest Mad Son-in-law

Qian Wei Le hurriedly laughed and said, "Big brother, my body has indeed been a bit weak recently; I've been taking medicine all the while."

Qian Wei Le's wife also added, "Yes, Wei Le has been working too hard lately, and the affairs of the company have left him utterly exhausted, so his body is a bit frail."

Qian Changle frowned but didn't say much. He knew his younger brother's true nature; how could he not?

Although their child was already in elementary school, he still indulged in pleasures without restraint or any attempt to conceal it, and his wife didn't control him, either. His frailty must surely be due to having been worn out by excesses.

Xu Hao sneered inwardly. Qian Wei Le must have something to do with the elder inside the house; he probably didn't expect Xu Hao to come directly here. Therefore, fearing that the elder inside would be discovered, would he try to stop Xu Hao next?

Just as Xu Hao reached the door of the small house, Qian Wei Le indeed rushed in front of him and stretched out his hand to stop him, saying, "You can't go in here!"

Qian Changle also tried to stop him, saying, "Young Master Xu, this place has been off-limits since three years ago, as per my father's orders."

"Three years ago?"

Xu Hao suddenly smiled and said, "Is it precisely three years ago when your father's health completely failed, and he became bedridden and unable to rise?"

"How do you know?"

Qian Changle said in surprise, "Before, my father's health wasn't too good, but he could still manage to move one hand and one leg. However, starting three years ago, he completely lost that ability."

"That's right."

Xu Hao's eyes were fierce as he coldly looked at Qian Wei Le and said, "Qian Wei Le, don't you know what's inside this house?"

Qian Wei Le's eyes flashed with panic, but he quickly composed himself and said, "How could I possibly know? This is a place strictly forbidden by my father; even my older brother wouldn't dare to enter, right?"

With those words, Qian Wei Le tossed the ball into Qian Changle's court, forcing him to say, "Young Master Xu, he's right. This is a forbidden area by my father's orders, untouchable by anyone. Even if my uncle came, if he dared to enter, my father would absolutely turn against him."

To not even give face to the old Family Head of the Qian Family, this must also be a character of the hardliner sort!

Xu Hao sighed softly to himself. Such an imposing figure, in his old age, yet he got fooled, probably even by his own flesh and blood!

Xu Hao looked at Qian Changle again and said, "Haven't you ever suspected that your father's worsening health might be related to this room?"

Qian Changle nodded slightly and said, "I've thought about it, but I don't dare to overstep my father's orders."

"How utterly obstinate!"

Xu Hao scolded angrily. A filial son, is Qian Changle? Definitely!

But he's far too blindly filial. If he has doubts, why doesn't he check for himself?

Qian Changle gave a bitter smile and dared not say more. Not everyone had the courage and backing of someone like Xu Hao who feared no one.

"Move aside!"

Xu Hao commanded coldly, lifting his leg to walk into the house.

Qian Wei Le immediately protested furiously, "Big brother! This is a forbidden ground where our father has strictly prohibited anyone from entering, not even members of the Qian family, let alone an outsider. Do you really intend to let him in? By doing this, where do you place our father's authority?!"

Qian Changle awkwardly smiled and said, "Second brother, Young Master Xu wants to enter, and even if we wanted to stop him, we couldn't. Besides, Young Master Xu wouldn't enter without good reason. He must be here to save our father!"

At that moment, Qian Wei Le sized up Xu Hao again before clapping his hands. Suddenly, ten men dressed in black, with the "Qian" character embroidered on their clothing, rushed over. They moved rapidly to surround Xu Hao and his companions.

Seeing this display of force, Qian Changle suddenly seemed much older, sighing, "Father has secretly given you command of the second guard team. It turns out your indulgence in pleasures was a ruse, and the true aim was to clandestinely seize control of our lineage's power. After all these years, Father still won't trust me. Is it just because you're younger, and so I must always yield to you?"

These black-clad individuals were all highly skilled in martial arts, all carefully cultivated confidants of Elder Qian. With them by his side, he virtually possessed half of their branch's kingdom.

Qian Wei Le scoffed and said, "Big brother, you only seek to maintain stability; you lack the capability to lead our branch to becoming more powerful, perhaps even surpassing the direct lineage. But I'm different; I believe I have the ability to make our branch grow stronger, which is why Father has given me the power, not you."

Qian Changle sighed softly, "I seek stability because the business environment in Huadu is tumultuous and can't be completely settled, so I've had to proceed with caution. But I have now found sufficiently powerful collaborators. However, you've already secretly transferred the power; maybe I'm the only one left in the dark. Did Father ever mention that once he's gone, you'll take over the reins publicly?"

"Indeed! Big brother, as siblings, I don't want to embarrass you. Take those doctors with you to treat Father; this place is off-limits, no one except Father may step foot inside."
