I stormed down the mountain, took down all the big shots in the city, and the female CEO dragged me

"President, are you injured?"

Diao Zhongjia dragged his exhausted body home, plopped down on a recliner, panting heavily, fumbled to open a drawer, took out a porcelain bottle, poured out the last of the pills inside, and stuffed them into his mouth.

His Adam's apple bobbed as the pill entered his body, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The young man standing beside him watched his actions with concern, bent down and brought him warm water to his lips.

"President, what happened?"

Diao Zhongjia took a deep breath and shook his head helplessly: "Don't ask anymore."

"President, tell me who did it, and I'll take some men to deal with him."

Niu Chong is the vice president of the Mingdai Martial Arts Association and Diao Zhongjia's successor.

This was the first time he had seen Diao Zhongjia so badly injured since he started following him.

Diao Zhongjia's strength is among the best in Mingdai, and there are very few who can injure him.

"return."

Diao Zhongjia stopped Niu Chong, saying, "I'm no match for him, and neither are you. Don't provoke him."

"Who exactly is the president?"

"Didn't you go to the Wang family's house?" Niu Chong asked curiously.

"Are you scared of being beaten?"

A sudden sound rang out, followed by the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs. Looking up, a figure hidden under a black raincoat appeared in front of the two.

The wide brim of the hats obscured the faces of the newcomers, but the two men did not feel afraid.

"Alliance Leader, what brings you here?" Niu Chong bowed respectfully to the newcomer.

The newcomer's gaze swept over the injured Diao Zhongjia.

"You witnessed what happened to the Wang family with your own eyes."

Diao Zhongjia dared not hide anything and told everything he had seen.

He knew that even if he didn't say anything, the alliance leader could investigate the matter thoroughly.

After listening to his story, the leader of the alliance pondered for a moment: "Are you saying that the massacre of the Wang family was done by the son of the Xu family?"

"He was only eighteen or nineteen when he could use qi, and he even injured you?"

"Exactly."

I saw it with my own eyes.

Diao Zhongjia couldn't believe it either, but it was the truth.

"Heroes emerge from among the young."

The leader stood with his hands behind his back, facing away from the two people, watching the raindrops patter against the glass outside the window.

"Are you scared of him?"

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I'm not as good as him. Even if I force myself to, I'm no match for him."

The leader nodded and turned to meet Diao Zhongjia's eyes.

"Did you bring the things?"

Diao Zhongjia shook his head: "I searched inside and outside the Wang family's residence, but I didn't see what you mentioned."

I suspect that old fox Wang Jianguo has hidden the thing somewhere else.

His face, hidden beneath the brim of his hat, betrayed no joy; he simply nodded.

He suddenly raised his hand and slapped it down on Diao Zhongjia's forehead.

"President..."

Niu Chong cried out in astonishment, looking at the alliance leader in disbelief, and staggered back two steps.

"Leader, you...you killed the guild leader?"

The leader acted as if he had done something insignificant, keeping his hands behind his back as he watched Niu Chong.

He was terrified.

He's too afraid to do anything, so what's the point of keeping him around?

"From this moment forward, you will be the new president of the Mingdai Martial Arts Association."

No matter what method you use, find the account books left behind by the Wang family.

The Wang family's businesses should also be taken back as soon as possible.

As for Xu Yuan, he naturally cannot be allowed to live. Mingdai will not tolerate such a powerful figure; he is slapping your martial arts association in the face.

"clear."

Niu Chong dared not disobey, bowed respectfully, and watched the alliance leader leave.

Looking at Diao Zhongjia lying comfortably in the recliner, Niu Chong felt a mix of emotions.

Even someone as formidable as Diao Zhongjia was nothing more than a blade of grass in their eyes; it seemed that all they had to do was obey.

The Xu family.

Yu Juan sat upright beside Xu Yinheng, who was covered with a white sheet, tears silently falling.

Hearing footsteps at the door, she slightly raised her eyelids and saw Xu Yuan and Xu Nuo walk in at the same time.

She wiped away her tears and gestured for the brother and sister to sit down.

"Yuan'er, from now on, this family is in your hands."

Take good care of your sister.

"As for this industry, if we can't keep it, then we won't keep it."

Take the money, leave Mingdai, and just make sure you and your siblings are safe and sound.

"mom…"

Xu Nuo tried to persuade her, but Yu Juan stopped him with a gesture: "Let me finish."

"This is all your father's idea."

She looked at Xu Yuan and said, "We'll be content as long as we can see your brother come back."

"Mom, don't worry, I'm here."

Xu Yuan held her mother's hand and gently comforted her.

The doorbell rang, and Xu Yuan got up to check, leaving Xu Nuo to stay with Yu Juan.

"How is my older brother?"

Xu Yinsheng burst into tears as soon as he entered the door, pointing at Xu Yuan and cursing him as a jinx.

"It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, none of this would have happened to my Xu family!"

"Brother, brother, come quick!"

Before Xu Yuan could refute, Xu Nuo's urgent voice came from inside the room.

Xu Yuan turned and ran back to the room, only to see Xu Nuo standing there, trembling as she watched her mother peacefully lying with her eyes closed next to her father.

"Brother, please save Mom!"

It was perfectly fine just now.

Xu Nuo held Xu Yuan's hand and stamped her feet anxiously.

Xu Yuan stepped forward, touched his mother's neck with his fingers, and closed his eyes helplessly.

"My mother went with my father."

Only then did he fully understand what his master had said before he went down the mountain.

His master said that his family needed him more.

It turns out that Master had foreseen this day, which is why he sent me down the mountain so that I could see my parents one last time.

"Brother, please save Mom!"

Xu Nuo refused to accept the truth and grabbed Xu Yuan's hand, asking him to help with the treatment.

"Aren't you able to bring the dead back to life? Hurry up!"

Xu Yuan shook his head: "This is fate. It was my mother's own choice to go. There's no way to change it."

If he truly wanted to defy fate, he could make a wish, but the divine punishment he would have to endure would be unbearable.

Moreover, his mother's wish was already made up; even if he defied fate, his mother would not be able to come back.

"Brother, sister-in-law, you've both left. What am I going to do?"

Xu Yinsheng exaggeratedly grinned and cried loudly, then stepped forward and shook the two of them violently.

His main task was to determine whether Xu Yinheng and Yu Juan were truly dead or had faked their deaths.

Once he felt reassured, his crying gradually subsided.

"Yuan'er, Nuonuo, don't worry, your second uncle will take good care of your parents' funeral arrangements."

Although Xu Yinsheng said he was sad, he was secretly overjoyed.

Now the Xu family's company and real estate are all theirs. After the funeral, they can simply kick out Xu Nuo and Xu Yuan, and this big villa will also be theirs.

Xu Nuo's sobs echoed in the room, and she had no time to pay attention to Xu Yinsheng.

Xu Yuan stood calmly to the side, ignoring him.

Is this what Master meant by worldly trials?

Seeing this, Xu Yinsheng slunk away and started making phone calls as soon as he stepped out of the room.

"Get ready, come over first thing tomorrow morning."

"Don't worry, this time it's 100% real."

If I lie to you again, may I be struck by lightning.

The rain outside the window is still pouring down, and tonight, most people in Mingdai are destined to have a restless night.
