C378 The Whole Story
"Qingxue!"
"Huh?"
"Forget it!"
When Xia Mingfeng saw Xia Qingxue's foolish appearance, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart. His good granddaughter's acting ability wasn't much worse than his own, looking at her pure appearance and the look of worship in her eyes …
Tsk tsk!
Xia Mingfeng smacked his lips, then quickly bowed towards Chen Long: "Daoist Master Long, Qingxue is still young, please forgive me for being rude. This old man will lead the way, please come this way …"
"Still young?"
Chen Long sized up Xia Qingxue with a smile and muttered: "This is not small …"
Chen Long's voice wasn't soft. As Xia Xiaoxuan was standing beside him, she naturally heard his words. Her face immediately turned red as she asked in a displeased tone, "Brother Long, what are you talking about?"
"Haha, it's nothing!" Chen Long laughed.
Xia Qingxue had obviously heard it. Her face immediately turned red and a complex look flashed across her eyes. Could it be that she was really …
"Impossible, this is the first time we've met!"
Xia Qingxue was extremely conflicted.
"Let's go!"
The smile on Chen Long's face quickly disappeared as he indifferently said those words and walked forward under Xia Mingfeng's lead.
On the way here, Chen Long was stopped by a guard. He was ridiculed by Liu Tianhe, and it was only because of his relationship with Xia Xiaoxuan that he was able to enter the Xia family's main gate.
However, what happened afterwards made everyone's jaw drop.
Behead Liu Wen and force Third Master Xia, Xia Mingfeng, to bow his head.
Slashing martial arts into the sky had scared Lu Junming out of his wits.
Beheading Lu Ba had pressured the Lu Clan until they were willing to bow their heads.
With just the strength of one person, he had forced the Xia Family to bow their heads, the Lu Family had bowed their heads, and Lu Tianming had kindly given an explanation.
The entire city was invincible!
So now, the situation was very different.
The third master of the Xia family, Xia Mingfeng, bowed in front to guide the way. The Lu family's Lu family's Lu Tianming accompanied by his side, followed by the Xia family's pure and beautiful sisters and even the entire Yangzhou city's upper echelons.
Xia Kun and An Hua who had been beaten senseless by Chen Long were now standing outside the crowd with their heads bowed. They hoped that no one would notice such a brutal man and avoid an unexpected disaster.
Soon, the group arrived at the great hall and took their seats.
Naturally, Chen Long sat on the main seat. Beside him was Xia Xiaoxuan, and on the other side was Xia Qingxue!
Xia Qingxue had been pushed up by Xia Mingfeng, so Xia Xiaoxuan and her cousin were very close. Naturally, she wouldn't care that Xia Qingxue had also sat down. However, Xia Qingxue felt a bit nervous looking at the big figures below.
There were no more seats on the host's seat, so Lu Tianming had no choice but to sit on the side seat beside him. There wasn't any dissatisfaction in his eyes, and he seemed very calm.
This made everyone have a clearer and clearer understanding of Chen Long's strength. At least, if the number one expert of Yangzhou was willing to admit defeat, then who would be able to beat Chen Long?
No.
Not a single one!
Everyone was looking at Chen Long with their necks held high. Their expressions were as if they were looking at a real immortal. In their excitement, there was also a sense of piety.
"Long Zhenren, this old man has decided to hand over a portion of the clan's shares to Xiao Xuan. What do you think of this explanation?" Xia Mingfeng stood in the middle, bowed and said.
"A portion of the shares?"
Chen Long sneered. He waved his hand and said, "We can talk about this later. I need to figure out something first!"
"Sir Long, please. This old man will say anything he knows!" Xia Mingfeng hurriedly said.
"That's for the best. Otherwise, I don't mind using some special methods!" Chen Long chuckled. The coldness of his smile caused Xia Mingfeng's entire body to stiffen.
"I don't dare to!"
"That's good then. From the time that Xiao Xuan's parents met with trouble until her capture by the both of you, you must explain everything that has happened during this period of time to this young master one by one!" Chen Long said full of scoundrel nature.
"Yes sir!"
Xia Mingfeng respectfully nodded and gave Xia Kun a deep look. He then began to narrate the story.
It was true that the Xia family was a 100-year-old family, but in fact it had gradually declined. Their influence in Yangzhou was gradually weakening.
Xia Xiaoxuan's father was one of the best in her generation, very smart. When he was in university, he freely fell in love with Xia Xiaoxuan's mother, and after graduation, they quickly had a love affair, so her father brought Mother Xia back to the Xia family.
Something had happened once he went back.
At that time, the head of the Xia family was still the father of her father, Xia Xiaoxuan's grandfather. This was a stinky and stubborn old man who insisted on his own theory and scoffed at his theory of free love.
Father Xia had inherited his own father's bad temper and had exploded at the time. He had said that he would either agree to the marriage of two people, or both of them would leave the Xia family.
Of course, Xia Mingfeng was naturally on his brother's side, and with Xia Kun instigating him, his father was furious, so he took the two Xia family members away from the Xia family, and did not take even a dime from the Xia family.
A married couple started from scratch. At that time, the stock market was in full swing. Father Xia relied on the savings he had accumulated and entered the stock market. With his astute mind and keen insight, he quickly became a heaven-shaking figure in the stock market.
Later, when the Xia family's patriarch was in critical condition and the Xia family was in a state of crisis, father Xia couldn't bear it any longer. Furthermore, his father had entrusted him with the task at hand, so he agreed.
After the death of the head of the Xia family, father Xia took office and began to reform the Xia family. With the money in his hands, he managed to turn the tide and save the Xia family from collapse. That was the Xia family's current life.
But it was a real accident that their father and mother died in a car accident. A drunk driver drove their car into a moat, and it wasn't Xia Kun who did it.
Of course, Xia Kun wasn't a good person either. After his father and mother passed away, he bribed the relevant personnel with money and successfully squeezed out Xia Xiaoxuan's inheritance right and took over the Xia Corporation.
However, his ability was limited. When his father died, what the Xia family was like, how they had been until now, and even some decline. If it wasn't for this accident, the Xia family might have really become one of the top families in Yangzhou.
He didn't want to admit that he was weaker than his brother, so he thought of a way to get the support of the marriage alliance. At that time, he had set his goal on Xia Xiaoxuan, the daughter of his brother.
After killing two birds with one stone, Xia Kun immediately took action. He wanted to bring the recently graduated Xia Xiaoxuan back to the family. However, Xia Xiaoxuan had received the news from her father's old subordinate and immediately ran off, thus meeting Chen Long.
This time, when Chen Long brought Xia Xiaoxuan back to Yangzhou, Lu Junming happened to see it. Lu Junming revealed the news to Xia Kun, and thus, the matter of Xia Xiaoxuan being kidnapped and brought back to the family.
Xia Mingfeng told everything that had happened. After all, he was the person with the highest seniority, so he still needed to give Xia Kun permission to do whatever he wanted. That was why he had a clear understanding of these things.
As he narrated these matters, a flash of sadness appeared in Xia Xiaoxuan's eyes. She clearly thought about her parents' matters, and was also disappointed with the dark side of the family.
"Brother Long, forget it, I don't want to pursue this matter anymore. It's over now, my parents were really unexpected. I don't want to stay here anymore. I want to go back to the village. I miss Sister Bai Sha, but Sister Er and the others …" Xia Xiaoxuan closed her eyes, and said with a trembling voice, sparkling and translucent tears slowly rolled down from the corners of her eyes.
"Sigh …"
Chen Long looked at Xia Xiaoxuan's sad appearance and a trace of pity flashed in his heart. From the beginning to the end, this girl had never let him see her. She had always been lively and sunny, suppressing her sadness and making him heartbroken!
Thinking of Xia Xiaoxuan's fate, Chen Long became angrier and angrier as he said coldly, "Third Master Xia, Xiaoxuan is the daughter of your Xia Family's savior. You guys have been treating her so well!"
"Long Zhenren, please calm your anger. My Xia family is willing to pay any price to compensate Xiao Xuan!" Xia Mingfeng quickly bowed. Chen Long's gloomy appearance had truly frightened him. He knew that if he didn't deal with it well, the Xia family would be finished!
"Xia Kun!"
After Xia Mingfeng finished speaking, he turned around with a lightning-like gaze, and found Xia Kun hiding in the crowd. He berated him: "Get the hell over here right now!"
"Uncle, I was wrong. Please forgive me!"
Xia Kun was a martial artist so the wound on his leg was nothing serious. He scrambled over and kneeled on the ground to beg for mercy.
"It's no use begging me."
Xia Mingfeng's expression was ice-cold, but he couldn't bear to watch Xia Kun act like this. He secretly glanced at Xia Xiaoxuan to give her a hint.
Xia Kun naturally wasn't stupid and immediately understood Xia Mingfeng's meaning. He immediately apologized to Xia Xiaoxuan, "Xiaoxuan, we are all second uncle bastards. Second uncle shouldn't agree to the Lu family's request. I beg you, please forgive second uncle!"
"I …"
Xia Xiaoxuan had never seen such a scene before, so she didn't know what to do. She looked at Chen Long for help.
Chen Long also knew that Xia Xiaoxuan was soft-hearted, but he was not a member of the Xia family. He had nothing to do with Xia Kun, so he coldly said, "Although Xia Kunzi doesn't want to die, but we can't just let him off so easily. How about this, Xia Kun's family will never get their shares and positions in the Xia Group!"
"Right, there's still one more point. Since the Xia Corporation was founded by Xiao Xuan's parents, then we'll hand over all the shares to Xiao Xuan. The time limit is 72 hours!"
Chen Long's final words made Xia Kun's face turn ashen. However, he didn't dare to oppose Xia Mingfeng and Chen Long. He could only lower his head, and a trace of hatred flashed across his eyes.
"Don't be complacent. One day, I will take back everything I lost!"
