Mingdai Martial Arts Association Headquarters.

Niu Chong plopped down on the sofa in a huff, took the tea his subordinate handed him, gulped it down, and immediately spat it out.

The water glass shattered on the ground: "Are you fucking trying to scald me to death? Get out, all of you get out!"

Everyone in the room didn't dare to breathe loudly and slunk away.

He leaned back on the sofa, panting heavily.

"It's General Ye again."

"It was because of his appearance at the Xu family's funeral that things were ruined for us."

This time, we were about to get Xu Yuan back, but he ruined everything again.

"Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. Isn't he going too far?"

The bodyguard standing next to him kept his mouth shut, afraid to answer, lest he be met with a barrage of insults.

"Send people to search the Xu family's villa and old house. I refuse to believe that the Wang family's account books could just disappear into thin air."

"clear."

The bodyguard stepped back into the room less than five minutes after leaving.

"President, Big Bear is here."

"Let him in."

Da Xiong was followed by Xu Xiang, who swaggered into the room.

Niu Chong crossed his legs, a cigarette between his fingers, and raised his head with an air of authority.

"Hey bear, what are you doing here?"

Big Bear smiled obsequiously: "I've run into a bit of trouble and wanted to ask the president for help."

Niu Chong remained silent, gesturing for him to continue.

"I want to borrow a few people from the president to deal with that blind fool."

Thinking of the scene when he was kicked out of the private room at the hotel that day, Da Xiong subconsciously clenched his crotch.

"Who is this person that would let you suffer a loss?" Niu Chong asked curiously.

"He's a bastard named Xu Yuan."

"Cough cough..."

Upon hearing Xu Yuan's name, Niu Chong choked, and some ash fell onto his crotch. He quickly patted it off.

He sat up awkwardly and looked at Big Bear: "What did you say his name was?"

"Xu Yuan, that's the Xu family's bastard child."

Da Xiong looked at Xu Xiang behind him: "This is one of my little brothers, Xu Xiang, the son of Uncle Xu Yuan."

He also harbored deep hatred for Xu Yuan.

Niu Chong turned his gaze to Xu Xiang: "Are you Xu Yuan's cousin?"

"That's me." Xu Xiang nodded and bowed obsequiously. "I know Xu Yuan best. He has no real skills but loves to brag."

"As long as you, Chairman, make a move, you will crush him as easily as crushing an ant."

"That's natural."

Niu Chong's eyes showed guilt; he had almost been the one who got crushed in the antique street.

Upon seeing Xu Xiang, he seemed to remember something.

"Since you're familiar with Xu Yuan, you'll definitely be able to get to his side."

"I'm willing to do anything the president needs."

Niu Chong nodded, but didn't continue.

He looked at Big Bear and stubbed out his cigarette: "Giving you people is fine, and you can take care of him too, but you can't do it in the name of my martial arts association."

"No matter what method you use, if you succeed, I will reward you handsomely."

"Don't worry, President."

"That little brat, with the chairman's support, he's got the upper hand."

After sending Da Xiong away first, Niu Chong left Xu Xiang alone.

"Shall we talk privately?"

Xu Yuan returned to Yunding Mountain Manor, and Du Aili also got out of the Bentley behind.

"Sister Ai Li, let me show you around."

Xu Nuo took Du Aili's arm and enthusiastically introduced her to his new home.

Du Aili knew about Yunding Mountain Manor; even her family wasn't qualified to live there.

After making a quick round, Du Aili returned to the living room and saw Xu Yuan fiddling with a compass.

"What are you doing with all this stuff?"

Yellow paper, cinnabar brush, compass—these are all superstitious items.

"Do I need to report to you about what I do?"

Xu Yuan smiled and looked up, staring intently into Du Aili's eyes: "You want to be my housekeeper?"

"You wish! I was just curious."

As Du Aili spent more time with Xu Yuan, she also learned how to get along with him.

"Fine, don't tell me then. I don't care to know anyway."

He reached into his bag, pulled out his car keys, and handed them to Xu Yuan: "These are for you."

"My dad said that what happened before was all thanks to you."

"Haven't we already thanked them?" Xu Yuan is not a greedy person.

Even if the Du family had given him three million, he would have gladly accepted even a single yuan.

Giving too much can become another burden.

"Just take it."

Du Aili forcefully put down the car keys: "You can accept the Zhang family's manor, and my family is giving you a car, and you're still complaining?"

"No, not at all." Xu Yuan lowered his head, picked up a brush, dipped it in something that looked like red ink, and began to draw talismans on the yellow paper.

"I can't drive, and Nuonuo has a car to drive, so leaving it here is a waste."

After he finished speaking, he stopped talking and began to draw talismans with complete concentration.

Du Aili stared wide-eyed at him without saying a word. After he finished drawing and put down his brush, Xu Yuan continued, "If you insist on sending me, do you expect me to hire a driver?"

"My family isn't as wealthy as yours, so how about..."

Xu Yuan paused for a moment, then looked at Du Aili with a smile: "You can be my driver. We'll be spending a lot of time together, which will help us get to know each other better."

"You wish."

Du Aili gave a soft snort, picked up her bag, and got up to leave.

"The car is yours to keep; how you use it is up to you."

"Sister Ai Li is gone?"

Xu Nuo changed her clothes and came downstairs. She didn't see Du Aili. She looked out the window and saw that the car had already left the gate.

"You left in such a hurry."

"Brother, did you bully Sister Ai Li?"

"Am I your brother, or is she your brother?"

"Of course you're my brother."

Xu Nuo moved closer to Xu Yuan and watched him fiddling with the things he was doing.

"Sister Ai Li can be my sister-in-law."

"Brother, do you want to pursue Sister Ai Li? I can help you."

Xu Yuan tilted her head and looked at her gossipy younger sister: "Why wasn't she the one pursuing me?"

"Boys should be more proactive; girls are all shy." Xu Nuo had her own reasons.

Xu Yuan disagreed: "Men and women are equal. Besides, although I don't understand, I know that all things attract each other."

Things you force will eventually collapse.

Xu Nuo nodded as if he understood, but also as if he didn't quite understand.

My older brother sometimes speaks like a philosopher.

"Oh, right, I bought you a phone."

Xu Nuo handed Xu Yuan a new phone, saying, "There are two numbers saved on it, one is mine, and the other is Sister Ai Li's."

"I also applied for a green signal for you, so you can send messages and make video calls here."

She sat down next to Xu Yuan and patiently taught him how to operate the phone.

I wish I could learn things extremely quickly; I could use them after seeing them only once.

He picked up his phone, checked the time, and began tidying up the things on the table.

"Have you prepared the pig's head, sheep's head, cow's head, and rooster that I asked you to buy?"

"They're all in the trunk of the car."

"You take me to the cemetery, then you come back yourself."

I made a wish and gave a few words of advice before packing my things and getting ready to leave.

"I'll wait for you to come back together."

"No need, I'm going to stay in the cemetery for the night."

I'll be back after noon tomorrow.

"In case there's something unclean, it might hurt you."
