The Man In Rage novel Chapter 865

What?

Wang Yu-Chen and the rest of the Wang clan stared hard at the wine Chen Ao offered.

In an instant, they lost all hope.

"No, Mr Chen. Please beg Mr Chu to let my father off, okay? I am willing to accept punishment on my father's behalf. I will drink the wine for him,” implored Wang Yu-Chen as he knelt.

The entire family was in despair.

However, Chen Ao and the others were unmoved and looked cold.

They stood erect with an indifferent look in their eyes as they looked down at Wang Jie-Xi in silence.

"Wang Jie-Xi, Mr Chu is offering you this wine. Are you going to drink it or not?"

HUUU!

Cold wind gusted outside.

It blew into the hall through the windows and door.

The family watched on with sorrow as Li Er, and the others stood and watched coldly without saying a word.

Wang Jie-Xi smiled in the end.

He got up from the couch and smiled as he took the wine from Chen Ao.

"Dad!"

"Jie-Xi!"

"Mr Wang, don't do it!"

Everyone choked with tears in their eyes as they convinced Wang Jie-Xi not to drink it.

Wang Jie-Xi was the backbone of the Wang family.

If he died, the Wang family would be no more.

Wang Jie-Xi remained unperturbed despite their begging.

Wang Jie-Xi patted Wang Yu-Chen's shoulder and said calmly, "After I die, you are head of the family. Regardless of what Mr Chu does to our family, you have to do it wholeheartedly. Mr Chen and the others are right. Mr Chu is Jiangdong's dragon! Other than him, no one is fit to be King of Jiangdong."

Wang Jie-Xi spoke without hesitation.

Wang Jie-Xi picked up the wine glass and tilted his head back.

Then he raised the wine glass and finished it in a gulp.

Cold wind gusted under the night sky.

Wang Jie-Xi faced his death bravely under the dim lights. It appeared utterly solemn and stirring.

"Dad!" "Jie-Xi!"

Wang Yu-Chen howled while the entire family wept in sorrow.

Even though Chen Ao and the others hadn't said anything, the Wang family guessed that it was poisoned wine.

Mr Chu wanted Wang Jie-Xi to kill himself to atone for the clan's betrayal.

CLANG!

Wang Jie-Xi let go of the glass after he finished the wine. The glass fell to the ground and shattered.

But he remained calm.

A look of self-deprecation remained on his face as he awaited death to befall him.

Wang Jie-Xi didn't blame Ye Fan.

After all, the winners took all.

From the day that he decided to support Qin Fei on his quest to become the King of Jiangdong, he was prepared for failure.

But time went by...

...for five minutes.

Wang Jie-Xi kept waiting for the poison to take effect. However, all he felt was a warm sensation in his belly and nothing unusual.

Chen Ao and the others looked at each other and laughed just as Wang Jie-Xi looked at them bewilderingly.

"Haha!"

"Jie-Xi, look at how petrified you are.”
