"Are you Liang Yilong?" Scarface looked Liang Yilong up and down and asked coldly.
"I, I am." Liang Yilong swallowed hard and nodded in response.
"Liang Yilong, good, very good."
Scarface said coldly, "To actually dare to provoke Chairman Chen's wife, you really must be tired of living."
The wife of Chairman Chen of Chen's Technology?
Liang Yilong's body trembled.
He had indeed been her secret lover for a week.
"Chairman Chen sent us over to teach you a good lesson on who you can mess with and who you can't," Scarface said coldly.
"Brothers, beat him up!"
Scarface led his few lackeys and began to punch and kick Liang Yilong.
Just the sound of it was enough to make one wince in pain.
"Ahhhhh—"
Miserable screams escaped Liang Yilong's mouth.
Liang's mother hid to the side, not daring to speak.
Liang Yilong lay on the ground, unable to get up.
Scarface crouched down in front of Liang Yilong.
"Liang Yilong, do you know? You didn't just provoke Chairman Chen's wife, you also provoked Boss Li's wife. If he comes knocking on your door, it won't be as simple as a beating. Losing an arm or a leg would be getting off light; in all likelihood, you'd lose your little life," Scarface said with a cold sneer.
"Who is Boss Li's wife?" Liang Yilong couldn't help but ask.
"Chen Yanyao," Scarface replied.
"Boss Li runs an underground casino and is involved in the underworld. You provoked his wife, how do you think he will treat you?"
"What."
Liang Yilong's eyes widened.
Chen Yanyao was someone who ran an underground casino...
Usually, when he latched onto a wealthy woman, he would thoroughly investigate her background before seducing her.
He had bumped into this Chen Yanyao by chance at a bar.
She gave him so much money that he never bothered to look into her background.
If he had known she was the woman of a casino boss, he wouldn't have dared to mess with her in the first place!
"Look out for yourself."
Scarface stood up.
"Brothers, let's go."
They left in a grand, imposing manner.
"Mom."
Ignoring the pain racking his body, Liang Yilong stumbled up from the ground.
"Quickly, call Dad, we need to run away together."
"We can't stay in Yundu anymore. They will kill me. No, they are extremely vengeful, they won't just kill me, they'll kill you and Dad too."
"We have to flee! Flee to a place where he can't find us."
Liang Yilong said with a trembling voice.
"Okay, okay, I'll go pack our things right now."
Liang's mother hurriedly went to pack. Their family of three left Yundu overnight, beginning a life of hiding.
At the Jiang family residence.
Lin Xuan had certainly enjoyed a massive piece of gossip.
Coming to the Jiang family this time hadn't been a loss at all.
After Liang Yilong left.
Jiang Yutong walked up to Lin Xuan, her face full of guilt. "Little Xuan, I'm sorry. I didn't know Liang Yilong was that kind of person. I made you suffer grievances just now."
Jiang Yutong was terrified that Lin Xuan would just leave the Jiang family and refuse to acknowledge them.
Lin Xuan smiled and said, "You don't need to apologize. I didn't suffer any grievances just now."
Jiang Yutong's eyes were locked onto Lin Xuan's face.
She saw that there really wasn't a trace of blame on his face.
She let out a sigh of relief.
"The fact that you were able to believe in me the very first moment is enough," Lin Xuan said.
Unlike the Lin family, who were his biological parents and biological sisters.
No matter how he explained things, they wouldn't believe him.
Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Jiang Yutong and Jiang Manting remembered what he had gone through in the Lin family, and a wave of heartache rose within them.
Little Xuan had suffered so much in the Lin family in the past; he must have never experienced the taste of family affection.
They absolutely had to treat Little Xuan well.
To let Little Xuan feel the warmth of a home.
Grandpa Jiang smiled and said, "Don't just stand here, everyone. Hurry over and eat. If we delay any longer, the food will get cold."
"Alright."
They walked into the kitchen together.
Lin Xuan looked at the dishes laid out on the table and paused slightly.
Every single dish on there was actually his favorite.
Jiang Yutong said, "Little Xuan, my sister and I cooked all of this for you. See if you like it."
Grandpa Jiang chimed in, "And me, I helped wash and chop the vegetables too."
"Mhm."
A layer of emotion filled Lin Xuan's heart.
He placed a piece of braised pork into his mouth and found it to be exceptionally delicious.
"How is it, how is it? Little Xuan, does it taste good?" Jiang Yutong looked at Lin Xuan expectantly.
"Mhm." Lin Xuan nodded. "It's pretty good."
A smile appeared on Jiang Yutong's face.
"As long as you like it, Little Xuan."
"Whenever you want to eat it next time, Second Sister will make it for you again."
After dinner, Jiang Yutong brought out a huge pile of gifts.
"Little Xuan, these are all the things I gave you when I was pestering you before, but unfortunately, you wouldn't accept them."
"Now that you've acknowledged me as your Second Sister, you can't refuse this time."
Not wanting to be outdone, Jiang Manting also took out a property deed.
"Little Xuan, this is the property deed to a small island. It has your name on it. You can go there on vacation with your girlfriend in the future."
"This small island is surrounded by rich resources, bringing in an income of two hundred million every year. When the time comes, it will be transferred to your card regularly."
This was Jiang Manting's first investment when she entered the business world.
It had been sold by a small country.
Jiang Manting bought it, and later, she developed the island and the surrounding waters.
It yielded a large, relatively fixed income every year.
She had been preparing to give this to Little Xuan for a long time, but she just never had the opportunity.
Jiang Yutong ground her teeth.
She didn't expect her eldest sister to prepare such a massive gift.
Damn it.
She wasn't as wealthy as her eldest sister, nor did she have her business acumen!
Otherwise, she could have given Little Xuan an even better gift.
"Bring it over," Grandpa Jiang ordered.
"Yes, Master."
The butler immediately brought over a share transfer document.
"Little Xuan, take this," Grandpa Jiang said amiably.
Lin Xuan furrowed his brows tightly. "This is..."
Grandpa Jiang smiled and said, "This is fifteen percent of the Jiang Group's shares that Grandpa is giving you."
"No, this is too valuable." Lin Xuan kept his brows tightly furrowed.
The Jiang Group was one of the top-ranked companies in Xia Country.
Moreover, it mainly collaborated with the government.
Its income was stable.
Just this fifteen percent of shares had a market value of a hundred billion.
Lin Xuan never expected that Grandpa Jiang would even give him shares of the Jiang Group, and a whole fifteen percent at that.
"I'm giving it to you, so just accept it," Grandpa Jiang said. "You are my grandson, it's only right for me to give you some shares."
"I'm old now, anyway. Holding onto these shares is of no use to me."
"If you don't accept it, then you don't truly consider me your grandpa."
Thank you to the treasure Caramel Carbonated Water for the explosive updates and flowers!

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.
