The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 125
[Chapter 125: Lies Exposed]
Ouyang Chengping couldn’t imagine what his son had done to hurt the heaven and earth, and he actually had one hand crippled.
After all, no matter whose parents it was, seeing their son’s hand crippled, if it was deserved, it would be fine, but if it was for no reason, then they must seek justice.
Although Ouyang Chengping was very excited at this time, he had to calm down and asked Lin Tian.
“Nephew Lin, can you tell me what happened?”
Ouyang Chengping had to be very cautious now. Under the peaceful Liangzhou City, there were undercurrents. If you were not careful, you would end up like the Ma family, where the family was destroyed!
“If Uncle Ouyang insists on knowing, then I will tell you. It’s up to you whether you believe it or not.” After
listening, Lin Tian slowly told him everything that happened in Xingde Building that day.
Ouyang Haowen, who was standing aside, heard it and felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly said to his father anxiously.
“Dad, don’t listen to his nonsense. He wants to break my hand for no reason. I dare not cut someone’s tongue!”
Ouyang Chengping was a little confused when he heard his son’s explanation, and Lin Tian’s description was also very real.
Lin Tian, who was standing by, heard Ouyang Haowen still quibbling, and said calmly with a slight curl of his lips.
“Many people in Xingde Building saw and heard it that day. It can’t be fake. If you want to prove it, just ask a few people.”
Lin Zuhua, who was standing by, saw Ouyang Chengping so excited, and hurriedly persuaded him, “Yes, yes, Brother Ouyang, don’t be too anxious. Everything should be investigated before making a conclusion. Maybe there are some misunderstandings!”
Ouyang Chengping had doubts in his heart. Seeing that Lin Zuhua also said so, he simply didn’t make a decision and waited for the investigation to be clear.
“Then I’ll trouble Brother Lin to send someone to go with my people to invite the witnesses in Xingde Building to come and confront them in court.” Ouyang Chengping said.
“Lin Kang, take my uncle’s family to Xingde Building to invite the shopkeeper and the actor that day.”
Lin Tian thought that Ouyang Chengping was indeed cautious and actually asked his people to go with him. He originally wanted to just let Lin Kang go.
It seems that Ouyang Chengping still has hope for his son, thinking that Lin Tian wants to bully others by taking advantage of his power and collude with the witnesses of Xingde Building to wrongly accuse Ouyang Haowen.
Lin Kang took the servants of the Ouyang family and drove a carriage to Xingde Building to pick up people.
“Shopkeeper, our master wants to invite you and the actor who sang the opera yesterday to his mansion.”
Lin Kang entered Xingde Building and said politely to the shopkeeper.
“I wonder what’s the matter with calling us over?”
The shopkeeper of Xingde Building asked in confusion, thinking in his heart, could it be that Master Lin wants to listen to the opera?
As a shopkeeper, you can’t walk around. The store is very busy, and you have to bring the actor who is now famous.
“Yesterday, there was a drunken man who broke his hand and refused to admit it. He wants to frame our young master, so I asked you to be a witness.”
Lin Kang explained slowly to the shopkeeper. The servant of the Ouyang family beside him was thinking about something but couldn’t get a word in.
“I see, wait a minute, I’ll go with you after I arrange things in the store.”
Although the shopkeeper knew that taking the actor away would lose a lot of money, the Lin family couldn’t afford to offend them now. The attitude of the person who came to deliver the message was also good. He thought it shouldn’t be a big deal, just asking questions, so he agreed.
After a while, the shopkeeper took care of the matter, took the actor from the backstage, and got on the carriage with Lin Kang and the others.
Without the stage costume, the actor could be seen as a handsome man, so he was not afraid to ride in the same carriage with the men.
“Master, I invited the person back.”
Lin Kang said after leading the two into the house, and the servant of the Ouyang family also whispered something in Ouyang Chengping’s ear.
“I am the shopkeeper of Xingde Building. I am honored to meet Mr. Lin and Mr. Ouyang.”
The shopkeeper looked a little nervous and bowed to Lin Zuhua, who was sitting in the main seat, and Ouyang Chengping, who was sitting next to him. The corner also bowed but did not speak.
“Shopkeeper, please sit down. I came here mainly to ask you something. Don’t be nervous.”
Seeing that the shopkeeper was a little uncomfortable, Lin Zuhua smiled and explained.
The shopkeeper was relieved and sat in the seat next to him. The corner did not sit down, but just stood behind the shopkeeper with his eyebrows lowered.
Ouyang Chengping wanted to ask directly, but when he saw Lin Zuhua asked them to sit down, he had to wait for a while. After a while, he asked quickly.
“Shopkeeper, did my son go to your store yesterday and have his hand broken? Please tell me a little bit.”
When the shopkeeper heard Ouyang Chengping asking about what happened yesterday, he told him everything about how Ouyang Haowen was drunk and wanted to cut off Jiao’er’s tongue, and was later stopped by Lin Tian and wanted to stab Lin Tian, but was eventually broken one of his hands by Lin Tian.
Jiao’er behind the shopkeeper also spoke up to say that everything he said was true.
The more Ouyang Chengping listened to the shopkeeper, the darker his face became, and he looked at his son fiercely. After
hearing what the shopkeeper said, Lin Zuhua felt more at ease. Although he believed that Lin Tian was not the kind of person who would cut off people’s hands and feet for no reason, he was still a little worried.
Lin Tian didn’t care, but seeing Ouyang Chengping’s increasingly dark face, he was also trying to hold back a smile. After
Ouyang Haowen heard the shopkeeper tell the truth of the matter and saw his father’s expression, he continued to argue.
“Dad, don’t listen to their nonsense. Maybe they have colluded with each other and want to harm me!”
Ouyang Haowen walked to the shopkeeper again and pointed at the two of them viciously.
“Tell me quickly, did you two take Lin Tian’s money and come to frame me!”
Ouyang Haowen raised his right hand and wanted to hit the corner.
Suddenly Lin Tian snorted coldly, which frightened him.
“Don’t you want your right hand anymore?”
Lin Tian frowned and asked with a sneer.
“You rebellious son, you are still talking nonsense here and want to fight.”
Ouyang Chengping raised his palm and roared.
“I will beat you to death, you rebellious son, and crippling your hand is not a light punishment.”
“Dad, am I still your biological child? Even you protect Lin Tian, that waste, everywhere.” Ouyang Haowen dodged and said in a weak tone.
Ouyang Chengping slapped him and made him bleed from the nose.
“Go home and don’t embarrass yourself here.”
Ouyang Chengping said as he grabbed his intact right hand and dragged him out the door like a dog without even saying goodbye.
When the father and son walked out of the door, Lin Tian finally couldn’t help laughing, and Lin Zuhua and the others shook their heads helplessly.
