I'm dressed up as a fake young master, and the real young master is frantically begging me to s

No one knows just how much of a shock Zhou Shi'an's words had on Xiao Yuanshan.

In this world, there is no absolutely unbreakable cooperative relationship.

Although the Xiao family and the Du family are quite close, and even formed a marriage alliance in the previous generation.

However, they are secretly investigating each other, because only by grasping each other's weaknesses and restraining each other can they truly put their minds at ease.

However, after all these years of investigation, he had no idea that Du Tianming had an illegitimate child.

Now, Zhou Shi'an has casually mentioned it.

Does this mean that the Xiao family has no secrets from the other side?

"Master Xiao, you invited me here today not just to thank me for disciplining your son, but for more than that?"

The sound interrupted Xiao Yuanshan's thoughts. He swallowed hard and overturned all the words he had prepared.

"Nephew, to be honest, Du Tianming came to see me today."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shijin's eyes widened immediately.

He finally understood the meaning of his elder brother's words; this was the complexity of human nature.

Xiao Yuanshan, the head of the family, betrayed his teammates without hesitation.

"Oh, so?" Zhou Shi'an's tone was very calm, as if he was not surprised by the matter.

Xiao Yuanshan glanced at him, and for some reason, a feeling of fear began to spread through him.

Without thinking twice, he hurriedly recounted everything that had happened that day.

"Nephew, that old dog Du is utterly depraved."

He actually wants to join forces with our Xiao family to attack your Zhou family.

As he said this, he secretly glanced at Zhou Shi'an's expression.

Seeing that the other person's expression did not change at all, he continued:

"He asked me to cut off your Zhou's Construction supply channels and even tried to get the regulatory authorities to intervene and investigate."

That's not all; the Du family is also going to exert all their efforts to suppress you in terms of medicine and funding, trying to cause your research project to be interrupted due to funding problems.

As he spoke, Xiao Yuanshan took out a voice recorder from his pocket and quickly pressed the play button.

As the conversation on the recording device ended, the room fell silent.

"Snapped!"

Just then, Xiao Yuanshan slammed his hand on the table and stood up angrily.

"Nephew, listen to what he's saying. Is he even speaking human language?"

Let's not even talk about the contributions that the two old heroes of the Zhou family made to our China.

Based on the good deeds my nephew has done over the years, he shouldn't be so blind as to commit such an outrageous act.

At this point, he seemed to relax considerably, and he even grabbed the bottle of red wine in front of him and took a big gulp.

"Damn it, what's even more hateful is that this beast is targeting my nephew's research and development project."

What is he trying to do? Doesn't he know how important the development of chips and new energy sources is to our country's development?

This isn't just targeting you, it's targeting your entire Zhou family.

This is hindering national development and progress, stifling the hope of human civilization's advancement, and attempting to drag the entire Chinese nation into a dark abyss!

Xiao Yuanshan spoke these words with conviction and passion.

Those who don't know the situation might think Du Tianming is a member of some international terrorist organization who has done something that angers both heaven and man.

This scene left Xiao Yan, who was standing to the side, dumbfounded.

Wasn't today supposed to be about apologizing to the Zhou family and trying to improve relations?

It's one thing for Dad to betray his teammates, but why did he get so excited and start giving a speech?

Upon hearing these words, Zhou Shi'an immediately laughed.

"Uncle Xiao, please calm down. You're getting old, you need to take care of your health. Getting angry is bad for your health."

Upon hearing the other person's address, Xiao Yuanshan, though still maintaining an angry expression, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He sat down again and took another big gulp of red wine.

He then said, "Nephew, I was a little emotional just now, please forgive me."

But please rest assured, I, Xiao Yuanshan, am not the kind of person who cannot distinguish right from wrong, and I will absolutely not go along with those who are corrupt.

In the face of national interests and the greater good of the country, all personal interests are insignificant.

No matter what dirty tricks Du Tianming uses, our Xiao family will stand firmly on the side of justice.

"Well, I trust Uncle Xiao's character." Zhou Shi'an took a sip of red wine and glanced at Xiao Yuanshan with a half-smile.

"After all, you stood out from several successors after Mr. Xiao's sudden death."

After taking over as head of the family, he went on to dominate the stock market and made a fortune.

Even the former head of the regulatory bureau spoke highly of Uncle Xiao.

With each word Zhou Shi'an spoke, Xiao Yuanshan's face grew paler.

At that moment, his heart was pounding, and his mind went blank for a brief moment.

He knows everything, he really does know everything!

Xiao Yuanshan's expression changed constantly in an instant.

Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he suddenly stood up.

"Don't worry, Young Master Zhou. From now on, the Xiao family will obey your every command and will never have any disloyal thoughts."

May I be struck down by heaven and earth if I break this oath!

Although Xiao Yan didn't understand what had happened, he guessed that his father must have some kind of leverage that the other party had fallen into their hands.

Without time to think, he quickly expressed his opinion.

"Young Master Zhou, please let me know if you need anything in the future."

Even if I take over the Xiao family in the future, this will not change!

The behavior of the Xiao family father and son left Zhou Shijin completely dumbfounded.

He had already been taken aback by the other party's previous act of apologizing.

Now, as the conversation progresses, the Xiao family has actually started to pledge their loyalty and prepare to curry favor with their elder brother.

Is this world really that crazy?

Zhou Shi'an waved his hand casually: "Uncle Xiao and Young Master Xiao are too kind."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuanshan immediately became anxious.

This kid is terrifying. If he wants to target me, he'll definitely suffer a terrible fate.

"Young Master Zhou, I admit that I had the idea of ​​testing your Zhou family before, but now I realize that I was just being narrow-minded."

Although I, Xiao Yuanshan, am not a good person, once I have made a choice, I will not easily change it.

I will absolutely not participate in Du Tianming's plans, and I will promptly report any developments on his end to you.

After saying that, he looked at Zhou Shi'an with trepidation.

Zhou Shi'an stared at him calmly for a long time, then suddenly grinned.

"No, the matter remains the same. Not only do you want to participate, but you also want everyone to know about it."

Xiao Yuanshan was stunned for a few seconds, then immediately understood his intention.

Zhou Shi'an is trying to get himself involved so that Du Tianming can act without any scruples.

However, facing simultaneous suppression from two major families, how could the Zhou family cope...?

No, even though he had revealed Du Tianming's plan earlier, Zhou Shi'an remained remarkably calm.

So, is he acting with impunity?

Without a second thought, Xiao Yuanshan nodded very solemnly:

"Alright, I'll follow your instructions, Young Master Zhou. I'll go back and prepare now."

After saying that, he hurriedly left with Xiao Yan.

As soon as he stepped out of the private room, Xiao Yuanshan stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, he couldn't help but gag.

Xiao Yan hurriedly stepped forward and helped his father up.

"Dad, are you alright?"

"Stop talking nonsense and help me get away!" Xiao Yuanshan said, then started gagging again.

Xiao Yan glanced at his father with a puzzled look and whispered, "Dad, we've already sided with the Zhou family."

Zhou Shi'an shouldn't be the type to go to extremes, so there's no need for him to be so cautious, right?

Xiao Yuanshan glared fiercely at his son, and as he walked forward, he cursed angrily:

"You want me to throw up here? I'm fucking ashamed!"

Xiao Yan: "..."
