Who moved her body?

Upon seeing Xu Haiyang, Chen Kaipiao hesitated for a moment, then finally forced a smile and said, "Young Master Xu looks even more energetic."

"What are you doing here?" Xu Haiyang raised his fair and arrogant face and looked down at Chen Kaipiao.

"The boss gave me some instructions, so I'm here to listen to his advice."

"Heh, that's easy for you to say." Xu Haiyang put on a stern face and said sarcastically, "Some people are two-faced. They just said they wanted to coexist peacefully with me, and then they went to my cousin to complain. If I hadn't happened to run into them, I would have thought that someone from our island had betrayed me. Sigh, these days you can really only know a person's face but not their heart. Some people's words are just like farts..."

"That's enough. Boss Chen is my guest, he can't be disrespectful." Situ Feng interrupted Xu Haiyang.

Chen Kaipiao turned to Situ Feng, raised his hand to shake hands, bowed and said goodnight, then awkwardly left from Uncle Zhao's side.

Uncle Zhao gestured for Xu Haiyang to enter, and as soon as Xu Haiyang stepped inside, Uncle Zhao closed the door.

Situ Feng, dressed in light gray silk loungewear, wore an expression that betrayed neither joy nor worry. Xu Haiyang, rubbing his hands nervously, called out, "Cousin, why aren't you asleep so late?"

"It's so late and you're still awake? Shouldn't I be asking you that?" Situ Feng pointed to the liquor cabinet in the corner. "My brother and I haven't had a drink in ages, and now's the perfect time."

Xu Haiyang walked to the liquor cabinet, took out Situ Feng's favorite whiskey, put two ice cubes in Situ Feng's glass, and then poured half a glass of whiskey into it.

"Brother, aren't you angry?" Xu Haiyang handed the wine to Situ Feng before pouring his own glass.

Situ Feng took a small sip.

"I've always been very protective of you since you were little, so it's understandable that you didn't tell me." Situ Feng raised the glass to eyebrow level, slowly tilted it, letting the golden wine flow between the ice cubes, and then quickly tilted it to the other side, letting the wine flow through the ice cubes again.

"No, bro, I didn't tell you because I was afraid of making you angry." Xu Haiyang lowered his head, staring at the wine glass in his hand, and said timidly, "I know I shouldn't have caused trouble for Chen Kaipiao, but I couldn't swallow this anger, so I went around saying I would definitely get revenge. Actually, I didn't really intend to cause him any trouble. I was just talking big to save face... But who would have thought that Chen Kaipiao would actually take the initiative to talk to me. If he hadn't done anything, I would have thought he was scared, but since he took the initiative to come to me, I felt resentful, so I..."

"So, you're taking Zhao Ren with you to seek revenge?"

"Um."

Situ Feng put down his wine glass and looked at Xu Haiyang's forehead, which was almost touching his thigh. The anger in his heart had long since dissipated.

"Chen Kaipiao does want to make peace with you, at least he has made that to me. Have you thought about it? If your disturbance at the Butterfly Club today is exposed, our Wild Rock Island will come into the public eye, which is something I don't want to see."

"I'm sorry, brother, I was wrong."

"This is a critical time for Diro, and I don't want even the slightest mishap to happen."

"I understand, brother. I will never go out and cause trouble again. I will definitely manage the procurement matters on the island well and will never hold Diruo back."

Situ Feng took another sip.

"You've done a great job with procurement since you took over. I've considered it, and if you can continue to do a good job with procurement and supply, I'll try to hand over a branch office to you to manage next year." Situ Feng smiled kindly and said, "You can go to whichever city you like."

Xu Haiyang hurriedly raised his head and stared at Situ Feng in disbelief for a long while.

"Brother, are you really planning to hand over one of the branch offices to me?"

Situ Feng nodded.

"Oh my God, happiness has come so suddenly."

Xu Haiyang put his wine glass on the table, tried to stand up but then sat back down. Situ Feng thought Xu Haiyang was a little flustered because of his surprise.

"I thought I was going to be punished tonight, but instead I got a promotion! Oh my God, what am I going to do?!"

"Don't get too excited yet. I'm only talking about this if your purchasing has always been doing well."

"Don't worry, cousin. Starting tomorrow, I will personally take charge of everything. I promise I will personally furnish every house and every green plant on the island. I'm going to take up a post in Jiangnan. Jiangnan is beautiful. Maybe I can meet my beloved girl and spend the rest of my life with her in such a beautiful place. Hehe, just thinking about it makes me so excited."

"Go ahead," Situ Feng said.

"Okay, I'm going back now, bro."

Xu Haiyang grabbed his wine glass, downed the wine in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and raised his hand. "Goodnight, cousin. You're my real brother. Sweet dreams, bro."

After Xu Haiyang left, Situ Feng finished the wine in his glass.

Yes, Situ Feng thought. Perhaps he had been too harsh on Xu Haiyang. Xu Haiyang had no power on the island, which was why he couldn't help but cause trouble outside. In fact, Xu Haiyang wasn't so "incorrigible".

This procurement incident demonstrates that Xu Haiyang is both willing and capable of handling matters well. Given this, rather than keeping Xu Haiyang around doing nothing, it would be better to transfer him to a branch office, away from the center of power. This relative of the mother-in-law should then be unable to interfere with Di Ruo.

Situ Feng closed the door to the reception room and gently pushed open the door to the children's room as he went upstairs.

The brother and sister were fast asleep in their respective beds. The brother had one leg pressed down on his little teddy bear, while the other leg was rolled over on the blanket.

Situ Feng carefully covered his younger brother with the blanket, then took out the little teddy bear from under his legs and placed it on his brother's bedside.

"Diruo will be yours in the future; you are Diruo's future."

Before leaving, Situ Feng kissed both siblings on the forehead.

Having siblings must feel good, right? Situ Feng smiled.

Thinking back, before he accepted Di Ruo, he really liked Xu Haiyang. He always treated Xu Haiyang like a younger brother, and Xu Haiyang always respected him like an older brother.

The little tagalong who followed me around since I was three has grown up, but I'm still as innocent as a three-year-old.

Situ Feng wished Xu Haiyang were his own younger brother.

However, blood ties are a blank sheet of paper that can never be carelessly scribbled on; they are sacred and inviolable.

Relatives of the imperial family must never be used! Situ Feng dared not disobey the Situ family's family precepts.

……

Xu Haiyang skipped out the door, while Guan Jie leaned against the engine hood, seemingly asleep.

"Zhao Ren, I wasn't punished!" Xu Haiyang shouted.

Guan Jie straightened up and opened the passenger door.

"The boss didn't punish you? That's great."

"That's right, the boss is like my own brother. Of course, I'll side with my own brother. Let's go back and get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow I'm going to roll up my sleeves and get to work!"

As the car drove off the villa's private road, Xu Haiyang's smile gradually faded.

"Fortunately, we were prepared in advance, and my cousin didn't suspect anything. You see, my cousin can control everything in Desolate Rock City. If you cause any trouble on Desolate Rock Island now, you'll be courting death."

"I want to see Shanshan."

"It's difficult, you see? If your cousin finds out your purpose, even a shadow of him could make you regret ever coming here."

"I have no regrets." Guan Jie said, looking at the mottled black shadows on the road. "She is a part of me. Now her life or death is unknown. If I cannot protect her, what is there to fear in death?"

Xu Haiyang leaned back in his chair and thought for a moment.

"Maybe I can go tomorrow at noon..."

......

Xu Haiyang ordered a smoked fish and ham sandwich for breakfast. The waiter wrote Xu Haiyang's request on the order form: "Young Master, please wait a moment. It may take about five minutes."

"No problem, another glass of orange juice, please."

The waiter handed Xu Haiyang's menu to the sandwich chef. The chef took the menu and looked at Xu Haiyang through the crowd of people carrying trays looking for their seats. Xu Haiyang turned his head away nonchalantly, glancing at the people with name tags around their necks from time to time.

People with tags around their necks spontaneously formed a group, nodding slightly to each other when they met, like a secret code of some organization, as if a single glance or nod was enough to convey secrets to each other.
