Chapter 52 Giving a Stepping Stone

Xia Taishan's face was expressionless.

There was no trace of anger.

His gaze was fixed directly on Xia Wentao and Xu Li.

The Xia family members present did not realize that Xia Taishan was most terrifying in this state!

"Speak... Who has the final say in the Xia family?"

A deep, commanding voice echoed.

"Speak!"

Xia Wentao and Xu Li froze, their expressions faltering.

They exchanged a glance and chose to back down.

As long as Xia Taishan was alive, they knew they could never truly overstep him.

After a moment of hesitation, they replied, "You... you have the final say!"

"Good. Since I have the final say, I shall be the judge!" Xia Taishan's voice was low, conveying an undeniable authority.

"Chen Fan, tell me precisely what happened just now!"

Chen Fan did not hesitate, repeating the events that had transpired.

Xia Taishan's gaze then shifted to Xia Bingxue. "You were present throughout the incident. Speak the truth!"

"If you dare to be partial, do not expect me to show mercy for our grandfather-granddaughter relationship!"

Xia Bingxue was intimidated by Xia Taishan's current demeanor. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "That... what Chen Fan said is all true!"

Xia Taishan let out a long sigh of relief. This made things much easier. He turned to Xia Wentao and his wife and said, "You have heard the accounts. Do you have anything else to say?"

"Minghao initiated the conflict. He insulted first, and he was the one who attacked first!"

Xia Wentao and Xu Li endured, refraining from outbursts.

"Old Master, even if Minghao was in the wrong initially, there was no need for such severe action!"

Xu Li said, word for word.

Xia Taishan's gaze fell upon Chen Fan, and he said slowly, "Indeed, the force used was a bit heavy. Chen Fan, with your excellent medical skills, can you heal Minghao's arms?"

Chen Fan understood that Xia Taishan was offering a way out.

If he refused, Xia Taishan would truly be put in an awkward position.

"You are Bingqing's fiancé, and ultimately, a member of the Xia family. We are all one family, and we see each other every day..."

With the Old Master speaking to this extent, Chen Fan did not refuse.

"I can do that!"

"However, I must state one thing: if Xia Minghao bothers me again, he will face the consequences himself!"

Xia Taishan's gaze shifted to Xia Wentao and Xu Li. "What do you think?"

Naturally, they had to give the Old Master face.

Suppressing their anger, they said, "Fine... as long as Minghao's arms are restored, this matter is considered settled!"

"Good!"

Xia Taishan guaranteed it, acting as the mediator.

Xia Bingqing also had not expected the matter to be resolved in this way.

She let out a long sigh of relief.

Subsequently, Chen Fan went to Xia Minghao's hospital room. Without any extra words, he took hold of Xia Minghao's arms and performed the Bone Fusion technique. With true qi as a guide, within a short time, his atrophied arms regained their original shape, and he applied the Grand Luo Acupuncture Method to stabilize them.

Half an hour later, Xia Minghao's complexion returned to normal.

However, his gaze towards Chen Fan was such that he wished he could kill him immediately. The hatred from today had become deeply ingrained, reaching a point where it was either him or Chen Fan.

"Done!"

Chen Fan stated it plainly.

The Xia family, with the exception of Xia Taishan and Xia Bingqing, who were astonished by Chen Fan's medical skills, remained immersed in their anger.

This included Xia Wenping and his wife.

Seeing that Xia Minghao's arms had somewhat recovered, Xia Wentao and his wife did not linger at the Xia residence and proceeded to the hospital for further examination and treatment.

Of course, their animosity had not diminished in the slightest.
