“Second Uncle, have you always been useless?” Song Jinyan didn’t mince his words.

“You…” Song Jiaming was so angry he nearly fainted. “Get lost, get lost!”

“I’ll leave once I’m done asking questions.” Song Jinyan shifted his stance, one hand in his pocket as he demanded, “I want to know the truth about your crippled legs.”

Song Jiaming nearly fell from his wheelchair.

“Everyone knows Su Xuewen caused my leg injury.”

“I know, but what I want to know is why Su Xuewen wanted to harm you?” Initially, it was mere curiosity, an instinctual feeling that something wasn’t right. Over the years, he’d arranged private investigations but found no truth due to Su Xuewen’s c*nning methods. Now, with Zhou Hengyang becoming Su Xuewen’s son-in-law, Song Jinyan sensed an opportunity.

He had already known about Su Xuewen’s situation in his hometown during the investigation but didn’t take it seriously until now. But now that Zhou Hengyang had become Su Xuewen’s son-in-law. It changed things.

Song Jinyan noticed something unusual after sorting it out. Hence, he made this trip specifically to verify with his uncle.

“What do you mean?” Song Jiaming trembled with anger. “Su Xuewen harmed me, and instead of blaming him, you’re blaming me? Do you even treat me as your elder?”

Song Jinyan’s thin lips curled into a mocking smile. “Others might not know if I treat you as an elder, but don’t you know it in your heart?”

These words were a slap in the face, nearly causing Song Jiaming to vomit blood.

Song Jinyan had been at odds with the second branch since childhood. Although he didn’t make things difficult, he didn’t give them respect either.

Song Jinyan had always been rebellious since childhood, and as he grew older, he wielded the power of the Song family with full authority. It seemed as if he was born to be at odds with the second branch. Although he hadn’t made things difficult for them, he certainly hadn’t shown them any favour either.

Of course, while many were aware of these internal dynamics, no one dared to openly discuss them. But now that Song Jinyan had publicly acknowledged it, it amounted to tearing off the mask. Once word got out, it would significantly impact the status of both Song Jiaming and Song Zishan. After all, there were plenty of opportunists who would gladly curry favour with the new family head, Song Jinyan, even if it meant stepping on Song Jiaming a few times.

“Are you threatening me?” Song Jiaming couldn’t let Song Jinyan sense his weakness.

“Second Uncle, are you willing to tell me?” Song Jinyan persisted.

“I don’t know,” Song Jiaming refused to say more.

Song Jinyan’s eyes gleamed with contemplation. He had made two preparations today: to get the truth from his uncle or to gauge his reaction. If Song Jiaming refused to speak, it would cast doubt on him.

His second uncle was more vicious than intelligent, and if he was adamant about keeping silent, then the guilty party must be him. In other words, perhaps Su Xuewen wasn’t the one behind the harm.

Song Jinyan rubbed his chin thoughtfully, then got up and left directly. Once outside the courtyard, instead of getting into the car, he stood beside it, lighting a cigarette and taking a drag.

“Why are you investigating this?” Song Shan asked curiously. “Song Jiaming is your uncle, and you barely know Su Xuewen.”

Song Jinyan laughed bitterly. “Do you think I’m siding with outsiders?”

Songshan saw beyond the surface, understanding the complexities of family dynamics and loyalty.
