Dai Feiying nodded and immediately said to Dai Xuan, "Transfer the funds."
"Okay, I'll call the finance department right now."
Dai Xuan took out his phone.
"You guys should have my junior brother's number, right? I'll be in Jiangbei for the next few days. If you need me, call my junior brother."
Xu Mu looked at Dai Feiying with a calm expression.
"Grandpa, we can wait for Ye Chen at our family's peak. I'm sure he'll go there," Dai Wenlin said from the side.
Hearing this, Dai Feiying nodded secretly; it made sense.
"Since you don't need me for the moment, I'll be going."
After Xu Mu spoke, he turned and walked away into the distance.
"Mr. Jiao, we've prepared dinner..."
"No need. I already have plans to eat with my junior brother. You all go on back."
As Xu Mu spoke, he left the area.
Dai Feiying sneered, "Ye Chen, I'll let you live for one more day!"
...
Xu Mu had already deactivated the formation. He hailed a ride-share and returned to the underground garage.
Driving his own car, he headed home.
On the way, he called Xu Ningbing first.
"What's up?" Xu Ningbing asked from the other end.
"Keep an eye on the company account. I just negotiated a deal, so funds should be coming in," Xu Mu said into the phone with a smile.
"You negotiated a deal? With whom?" Xu Ningbing sounded confused.
"Heh, once the money arrives, won't you be able to check? I'm heading home now."
Xu Mu laughed and hung up.
...
Back in Jiang City.
Xu Mu parked in the garage. Before he even entered the door, he sensed a cheerful atmosphere in the living room.
Pushing the door open and seeing the people inside, Xu Mu was dumbfounded.
This was the first time there were so many people in the house.
Ye Tong was sitting around the coffee table chatting with Meng Wanyue, Dai Xingluo, and Feng Yue.
As for Ye Yu and Bai Yi, they were sitting on the sofa holding their phones, obviously playing games.
When everyone saw Xu Mu return, they all greeted him. Except for Ye Tong, favorability points of varying amounts appeared above everyone else's heads.
The next moment, favorability appeared above Ye Tong's head as well.
[Favorability +40]
"You're back?"
Ye Tong walked over with a smile. "You didn't message me today, so I knew you'd be coming back tonight. We haven't eaten yet."
"If I'd known, I would have told you earlier so you didn't have to wait for me," Xu Mu said with a smile.
"Eating a bit late doesn't matter. I'll go heat up the food now."
Ye Tong pulled Xu Mu over and made him sit in her previous spot. "You keep them company and chat for a bit."
Xu Mu sat there, looking at the three women in front of him, feeling slightly awkward.
Especially since he had been teased by Xiao Ran earlier today, he was feeling a bit sensitive at the moment.
"Brother, where did you go today?" Dai Xingluo asked with a smile.
"I went to Yang City to handle some business..."
Just as Xu Mu was speaking, he suddenly heard the doorbell.
He checked with his perception and saw it was actually Xu Ningbing, so he stood up proactively. "I'll get the door."
Xu Mu went to the villa's main gate and asked curiously, "What brings you here?"
Xu Ningbing wasn't wearing her office uniform, but rather a tracksuit.
The words "Dragon Country" on her chest were stretched into a three-dimensional shape.
Xu Ningbing didn't speak but walked straight into the villa.
Just as she entered the main hall, she saw the crowd gathered there.
Only then did she glance at Xu Mu. "The Yin energy is pretty heavy in here, isn't it?"
"My Yang energy is enough to take on a hundred."
Xu Mu followed her in and closed the door. "You still haven't answered me. Why are you here?"
"What illegal activity did you commit? How did you get that much money?"
Xu Ningbing looked solemn. "That's fifty billion. Do you know how few companies in Dragon Country have an annual net profit reaching fifty billion?"
"I didn't break the law. They gave it voluntarily."
Xu Mu shrugged with a smile.
"Sis, you're here."
Hearing the voices, Ye Tong walked out of the kitchen. "Have you eaten? We were just about to eat."
"Haven't had the chance yet."
Xu Ningbing looked toward Dai Xingluo and the others. Before she could ask, Ye Tong explained first.
"These are my best friends. I invited them over."
"Mn."
Xu Ningbing nodded. She had originally thought Xu Mu had called these people over.
She had been wondering why Ye Tong wasn't angry and was instead happily cooking in the kitchen.
It turned out she was mistaken.
"What's going on with you? It's this late and you haven't eaten?" Xu Mu asked from the side.
"Dad handed a lot of company matters over to me recently. He said this morning he was going sea fishing with his buddies and won't be back for ten days or so."
Xu Ningbing walked to the sofa and sat down.
Xu Mu smiled. "Come to think of it, he hasn't taken a break in over a decade."
"Exactly, so I didn't bother stopping him. He's getting older; he really should enjoy life a bit."
According to Xu Ningbing's memory, Xu Shou worked almost year-round without rest. Aside from work, he was traveling for business.
This state had lasted for over a decade.
"Just eat here today."
Xu Mu walked toward the kitchen.
"Wanyue, are you still working? If not, I need to find someone else," Xu Ningbing asked, looking at Meng Wanyue.
"Wanyue is my personal bodyguard now. You'd better find someone else to take her position," Xu Mu said from a distance.
Meng Wanyue nodded in agreement. "President, please find someone else. I've been busy with cultivation recently and really don't have time for work matters."
Xu Ningbing nodded.
A few minutes later, Xu Mu signaled everyone to sit at the dining table. Xu Mu and Ye Tong brought out all the dishes.
The group sat around the dining table.
Ye Tong brought some red wine. "Let's just have a few sips today. We can't get drunk like last time."
"Okay."
As Dai Xingluo spoke, she secretly winked at Xu Mu.
Xu Mu immediately recalled what happened that previous night. This Dai Xingluo was a lightweight but loved to play.
This time, Xu Ningbing also joined everyone for a few glasses.
After getting slightly tipsy, everyone became more talkative.
Feng Yue wiped her fiery red lips with a napkin and looked at Xu Ningbing with a smile. "Miss Xu, I really envy your figure. Even I'm drooling looking at it."
"It really is too big," Meng Wanyue mumbled, looking down at her own; there was really no comparison.
Dai Xingluo also sighed with emotion. Her own were already quite formidable, and she often used her "thunder" to mock others.
But seeing Xu Ningbing's, she felt ashamed of her inferiority.
"Sister, someone like you must have many suitors, right?" Dai Xingluo asked with a smile.
Xu Ningbing placed her chopsticks on her bowl and said calmly, "There are many, but I rejected them all. I don't plan on getting married."
"Why is that?"
Ye Tong became curious as well.
She had wondered about this before. Xu Mu, the younger brother, was already married, so as the older sister, she should be anxious about it.
But looking at Xu Ningbing, she didn't seem worried at all.
Xu Mu also furrowed his brows to listen; he had never known Xu Ningbing's inner thoughts on the matter.
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
iemie, male, Race: Moon. Hobby: Collecting anomalies. At first, he thought he possessed two systems: the Crimson Rainbow Moon and the Clear Cold Frost Moon. One day, he discovered that he himself could also become a system for others, holding the chessboard of fate. The Eighth Epoch, also known as the Eternal Moon Epoch. Humans, witches, elves, bloodline descendants, specters, demons, and spirits together compose a new history. Walking the path on behalf of the moon, before he knew it, Chen Miemie's footsteps were followed by all manner of strange and wondrous anomalies. As time passed, many titles circulated about him—The King in Yellow, Lord of Anomalies, Heart of the Eternal Moon, and more. "Me? I'm just a traveler who enjoys collecting interesting creatures," Chen Miemie said.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
