The Strongest Mad Son-in-law-Chapter 1423 - 1426: Fearless with Backing

Chapter 1423

The Defying Heaven Nine Needles, where one needle brings life, is no joke.
With Xu Hao giving it his all, depleting more than eighty percent of his own Qi force, it was as if he helped him undergo a complete transformation!
Although it's far from the legendary Cleansing Marrow and Purifying Meridians, it's still incredibly powerful.
If this still can't eliminate Xiang You's other illnesses, then there's no point in learning the Defying Heaven Nine Needles.
Xiang You looked at Xu Hao, tears flowing down his face, grasping Xu Hao's hands with excitement and said, "I've heard of Young Master Xu's name before, knowing you're a remarkable person, but I never imagined I would be so deeply indebted to you in my lifetime! This is a life-saving grace! A grace as if giving life anew! Young Master Xu, I declare, from today, our Xiang Family will become your most reliable partner!"
Xu Hao, upon hearing Xiang You's words, was slightly taken aback and quickly said, "Elder Master Xiang, I can't accept this. You are a great philanthropist, which is why I went all out to save you without expecting anything in return. My only wish was to save a great person like you."
Xu Hao's words were sincerely meant; Xiang You, being a great philanthropist, was truly someone worth saving. If someone were to harm such a great person, he wouldn't be able to stand by idly.
Xiang You promptly said, "Young Master Xu, I hope you can fulfill my request. I know my body has been healed by you, and my illnesses are gone, but given my old age, I won't live many more years. Once I'm gone, Xiang Shang, the unfilial son, will definitely want to seize the family fortune, but I absolutely cannot let him succeed! So I..."
Before Xiang You could finish, Xiang Shang's wife immediately retorted angrily, "What do you mean by this, Elder Master? Is Xiang Shang not your own son? Why are you saying this about him? Why are you treating him this way?! The eldest is long deceased, and now you're not allowing the second son to inherit the family fortune, then who do you want to inherit?"
Xiang Shang glanced at Xiang Feiqi, his instincts telling him that the young Xiang Feiqi was Xiang You's ace in the hole.
Xiang You said coldly, "Since when did the Xiang Family's matters become something for a woman to meddle in? Get out of here!"
Even though Xiang You was old, it seemed as if he had become twenty years younger, full of vitality, and spoke with remarkable vigor, directly frightening Xiang Shang's wife into trembling all over.
Xiang Shang gave his wife a look, then said, "Father, it's not the past anymore, I think my wife should be allowed to discuss family matters here."
Xiang You coldly snorted, "Now that I've just woken up, I don't want to clash with you all, but don't push your luck, or else if you anger me, I will undoubtedly decide to get to the bottom of the matters from the past!"
When Xiang You made this remark, Xiang Shang's face changed instantly.
There are certain things that must not be exposed, or else he would be utterly disgraced, but he originally believed that what he had done had been sufficiently concealed, and his father would never detect it.
But now he realized, his father had always been suspicious of him!
However, he had only two sons and no daughters. If the substantial family wealth were to be passed down, it could only be to him; otherwise, he wouldn't let it go to an outsider, right?
So he could be said to be resting easy, not worrying at all that his father would thoroughly investigate the events of the past.
Now, however, he found himself somewhat panicked.
He felt his father might forcefully investigate thoroughly, had he come to see the light after this near-death experience?
At this moment, Xu Hao chuckled softly, "Elder Master Xiang, sometimes, when facing an unruly son, you can't afford to be lenient, or else he'll think you've been kept in the dark all along - he won't only refuse to change, he might even intensify his actions. Maybe in the past, you were often soft-hearted, unable to take decisive action, but now, after this life-and-death ordeal, what's there that you can't see through?
This guy dared to harm even you, who else wouldn't he dare to harm? Although I've saved you now, don't forget, if you let this guy continue to develop unchecked, who knows, he might lay hands on you again a second time, and perhaps, this time might not even be the first; he might have acted before and you unknowingly defused it."
Xiang Shang, hearing what Xu Hao said, immediately retorted with anger, "Xu... Xu Hao, you're going too far! Let me tell you, this is a family matter of our Xiang Family, you have no reason to meddle as an outsider! If you keep meddling carelessly, I'll believe you are intentionally looking for trouble!"
Although Xiang Shang didn't dare to take action against Xu Hao, his tone wasn't the least bit timid, because Xu Hao's strength was down to less than twenty percent. He didn't believe Xu Hao would dare to take action against him now.
At the same time, a group of Xiang Family's bodyguards rushed in, confronting Xu Hao and the others.
Xiang You immediately shouted angrily, "All of you, get out of here! Did I allow you to come in?"
However, Xiang Shang sneered coldly, "I say, have you gone senile?"
