Hong Lan glared at Lei Siren.
What a spineless boy she had raised!
Xia Zhenfeng hadn't even said what this was about, yet it was enough to scare the living daylights out of him.
Was that really necessary?
How big of a deal could it possibly be!
She had given her son far too little tough love in the past, which was why he was so timid and cowardly now.
Hong Lan had even come in person today, so what was he still afraid of?
However.
Judging by Xia Zhenfeng's demeanor this time, he was definitely playing for keeps.
She couldn't just casually gloss over this; she would have to act a bit stricter in a moment.
Hong Lan continued to put on a furious facade, pointing at her son and saying:
"You brat, all you know is how to cause trouble!"
"Just wait and see how I teach you a lesson later!"
Then.
Hong Lan turned back to Xia Zhenfeng and continued:
"Brother Zhenfeng, just tell me, what kind of trouble did this boy get into?"
"Does he owe money? Or did he cause a scene somewhere?"
"Is this tablet for me to look at?"
Hong Lan was already mentally prepared.
However.
Her preparation was still far from enough.
Xia Zhenfeng shook his head and said:
"No need for all that trouble. I didn't bring the tablet for you to look at something..."
"We're here to listen to a recording, a very fascinating recording!"
Hong Lan: "???"
Lei Siren: "???"
A recording?
Not only was Hong Lan dumbfounded by these words.
Lei Siren also couldn't figure out what on earth was going on.
What recording could there possibly be?
Could it be that Lin Yu had secretly recorded them in the underground parking lot?
Even if that was the case, it didn't seem like a big deal.
Was he worried that Lei Siren wouldn't admit to hiring people to beat him up?
Xia Yiwei was also present at the time and knew the whole story.
Xia Zhenfeng would definitely choose to believe his daughter!
Wasn't Lin Yu doing this purely unnecessary?
Just as Lei Siren was feeling puzzled, the recording began to play...
"Cousin, what's wrong with a dirty rag? You don't actually think I'm pursuing a dirty rag out of love, do you?"
"..."
"She's different now. She's already been trained by that violent maniac into a very easily manipulated shape."
"..."
"As long as I make my move now, I can definitely secure this dirty rag with ease. Do you believe me?"
"..."
Hong Lan: "!!!"
Lei Siren: "!!!"
The complete call recording played, sentence by sentence.
The mother and son listened with trembling hearts.
Hong Lan looked at her son in disbelief, finally realizing the magnitude of this incident.
If it were just a general conflict, for the sake of the friendship between the two families, they wouldn't be given too hard of a time.
Hong Lan had been wondering earlier why Xia Zhenfeng was making such a grand display.
At this very moment.
She finally completely understood what was going on!
Her loose-lipped son had even used a term like "dirty rag."
He had also revealed his true motives for approaching Xia Yiwei to his aunt's son, his cousin.
Saying it was one thing.
But to be recorded by someone as evidence!
Where was Hong Lan supposed to hide her face now!
How the hell was this matter going to be resolved easily?
Looking at Lei Siren again, he was already thoroughly terrified out of his wits.
He stood trembling in front of the table, unable to stop shuffling his feet, wanting to hide behind his mother.
It was as if only hiding behind his mother could give him a tiny shred of security.
Xia Zhenfeng's gaze was simply too terrifying!
He looked like he was ready to leap across the table at any moment and tear him apart with his bare hands.
Precisely because he had been in contact with the Xia family since childhood, Lei Siren knew Xia Zhenfeng's methods all too well.
Back then, Weiwei was pursued at school by a kid who "thought he was all that."
As a result.
Xia Zhenfeng found out about it, and the next day that arrogant kid transferred schools.
Lei Siren still remembered to this day the terribly bruised, swollen pig-face that kid had the last time he saw him.
Rumor had it.
No one else was involved in the whole process; it was entirely Xia Zhenfeng acting alone.
The outside world had always said.
In the Xia family, only the wife practiced martial arts, and Xia Zhenfeng had no skills whatsoever.
Anyone who believed that was an absolute fool!
Lei Siren didn't believe it for a second, and he was even less willing to be "handled" by Xia Zhenfeng.
"This, this isn't... that's not what I meant..."
"Uncle Xia, listen to me, I was just running my mouth, I never actually thought that way."
"I was wrong, I'm sorry..."
"I'm sorry Uncle Xia, I'm sorry Weiwei!"
"I really didn't mean it like that..."
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
