Chapter 161 Extreme Arrogance
Some of them recognized Xiao Shun, and naturally, some did not. Seeing the expressions on the faces of the Sikong family members, they couldn’t help but become curious, “Who is this young man? The people of the Sikong family seem to be quite nervous when they saw him.”
“Could he be here to cause trouble?”
“Holy shit! Causing trouble here would be asking for death, especially with Master Zuo present today…”
Song Linger’s beautiful eyes stared at Xiao Shun in disbelief. Her heart jolted. They had told him to hide, yet how dare he show up so brazenly? Although she felt worried, she also felt an inexplicable sense of awe. Wasn’t this precisely what that hero in her heart would do? Despite everyone’s attempts to stop him, he still fought for himself!
Song Qingzhou’s feelings were particularly complex. He had come here for Xiao Shun, and the Feng family was willing to protect him. If he wanted to escape, the Feng family could provide shelter, but today he chose to confront almost all of Stillwater’s powerful elites, including Zuo Zhiyuan, the branch head of the Old School Society.
He couldn’t help but sigh. This young man really knew how to cause trouble, and he had offended a family even the Song family dared not provoke.
“That’s Xiao Shun. He broke the legs of Yong Zhang and Heshan.”
Zheng Yongzhang said to Chu Jingtong beside him. When he saw Xiao Shun, undisguised killing intent emerged from the bottom of his cold eyes.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Chu Jingtong clenched his fists tightly, grinding his teeth, but just as he was about to step forward, he was stopped by Zheng Yongzhang.
“Now is not the time, Mr. Chu. Let’s wait and see what tricks this youngster has up his sleeve.”
Chu Jingtong could only suppress his anger, his knuckles cracking.
Anger, worry, curiosity, indifference… Xiao Shun stepped onto the stage, facing various gazes.
“Stop!”
A middle-aged, slightly overweight man blocked Xiao Shun’s path. The man was the housekeeper of the Sikong family. He had accompanied Sikong Xinrong to Starline that day, and after driving the car away, he had returned to find Sikong Xinrong walking towards Starline, which was Xiao Shun’s company. He assumed his master was there to discuss business with the new chairman.
However, that evening, he heard the news of his master’s death. Although the current head of the family said that his master had died from a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, he always felt that Xiao Shun was involved.
He had been loyal to Sikong Xinrong for most of his life, and now, he only thought of Xiao Shun as an enemy.
“How did you get in? You’re not welcome here. Please leave immediately!”
“Let him in; I invited him.” At this point, Zuo Zhiyuan spoke up.
“Today is Mr. Sikong’s funeral. There are some matters we should settle.”
When they heard Zuo Zhiyuan’s words, the people of the Sikong family suddenly understood. So, Master Zuo wanted to execute this murderer today and avenge Sikong Chen.
“Let him in,” Sikong Jie ordered.
Only then did the housekeeper reluctantly step aside.
Those who were unaware of the grudges between Xiao Shun and the Sikong family looked confused. The young man appeared to be in his mid-twenties and didn’t seem to be the child of some powerful family. How could he have provoked the Sikong family and Master Zuo?
With such a huge gap in strength, they were like ants and elephants. Could an ant provoke an elephant? Obviously not. Even if an ant exerted all its strength to bite an elephant, the elephant wouldn’t feel a thing. If it did feel something, it would simply crush the ant with a single step.
However, the young man in front of them did not seem like an ant. He had offended the Sikong family and still brazenly attended their funeral. It was truly baffling.
The room fell into a deathly silence.
Xiao Shun walked up to the coffin and was about to pick up the incense sticks when his phone suddenly rang.
“If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands! If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands! If you’re happy and you know it, and you really want to show it!”
Everyone present looked on in shock.
What the hell?!
He was really here to cause trouble!
Everyone knew how seriously the Sikong family took this funeral. Those who attended couldn’t be more cautious! They either left their phones behind or had them on silent.
But now, Xiao Shun’s ringtone sounded extremely out of place and inappropriate in the solemn funeral hall.
The content of the ringtone was an open display of disrespect towards the deceased. Utterly rude.
The faces of the Sikong family members grew darker.
Xiao Shun calmly put down the incense sticks in his hand and took out his phone from his pocket. He saw that it was Yao Qin who had called and leisurely answered the phone.
“What’s up, honey?” He asked gently.
“Where are you?”
Yao Qin had gone home and then to the office, only to find that she couldn’t find him at all. She felt uneasy, which is why she called.
“I’m out taking care of some things. I’ll be back soon. Shouldn’t you be boarding the plane right now? Is the flight delayed?”
Xiao Shun faced dozens of astonished gazes, and asked nonchalantly.
“Oh, no, I suddenly don’t want to go…”
“We have already booked the hotel for you. Why don’t you want to go now?”
“…”
The two chatted back and forth for a full two minutes. The people around them exchanged looks, dumbfounded by what was happening.
They looked at the Sikong family members, who seemed to want to tear him apart, and secretly worried for him.
“Sorry, it was my wife.” After hanging up, Xiao Shun apologized with a smile.
“Xiao Shun, today is my grandfather’s funeral. How dare you clown come here!” Sikong Xing, unable to endure the humiliation any longer, took two steps forward and shouted with wide eyes.
Xiao Shun turned to look at him, “Just a few days ago, you said you would do anything I asked. How did you change so quickly? How dare you talk to me like this? Are all of you in the Sikong family liars?”
Sikong Xing’s face turned red, and he stuttered, “You… you, I said those words only under your threat!”
“This kid actually dared to threaten Master Sikong!”
“Where’s this kid even from? Not only did he threaten Sikong Xing, but he also dared to make fun of them at their funeral.”
Some people who were not aware of the situation were suddenly in an uproar.
Xiao Shun sneered, not bothering to pay them any attention. After all, they were already as good as dead. He lit the incense sticks and bowed.
Then he slowly turned around, looking at the Sikong family members.
His gaze was sharp and bone-chilling, like a cold blade piercing through their clothes, skin, and straight into their bones.
“Alright, I’ve done my part. Now it’s your turn.”
He then stretched out his hand towards Zhu Que, who immediately understood and placed the urn in his hand.
Xiao Shun placed the urn on the altar in front of Sikong Xinrong’s black and white photograph.
“What do you mean?” The Sikong family members exchanged puzzled glances, and Sikong Xing asked in a harsh tone.
“Don’t you even know what happened?”
Xiao Shun, with his hands behind his back, calmly said, “I killed Sikong Xinrong because he killed my brother. He deserved to die, and all of you in the Sikong family must kneel before my brother!”
