Era: You're asked to cook a home-style dish, but you cook Wellington.

Everyone turned to look at Su Wanqing, their eyes filled with undisguised worry.

"I'm Su Wanqing, what's wrong?"

Su Wanqing calmly took the phone and spoke to the person on the other end.

Everyone on the field held their breath, watching her with bated breath.

Now, the Su family and the Nangong family are bound together, and Su Wanqing is definitely the most powerful force in this group.

If Su Wanqing gets into trouble, the Nangong family will definitely suffer a devastating disaster, and all of them will be completely wiped out by Xiao Jianyuan.

Xiao Jianyuan looked gloating.

"Haha, you're only getting anxious now? It's too late. My men are on their way and will be here soon to wipe you all out."

"And you, Su Wanqing, how dare you treat me like this? I'll ruin your reputation completely!"

Little did they know that Gao Yang was holding the plate and swallowing the last bite of fried noodles.

Gao Yang's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly exerted force on his wrist.

Before anyone could react, the white porcelain plate grazed Xiao Jianyuan's neck and slammed hard against the wall behind him.

"Bang!"

The porcelain plate struck the wall and shattered with a sound.

Countless tiny fragments flew everywhere, sharp shards grazing his cheek and leaving a shallow bloodstain.

Xiao Jianyuan froze, his gloating expression instantly replaced by extreme shock and fear.

He instinctively covered his neck, and a cold sweat immediately broke out on his back, causing him to stop breathing.

He never expected that Gao Yang would still dare to make a move under these circumstances.

If Gao Yang's force had been slightly off just now, he would have been badly injured, if not killed.

"Shut your mouth. If there's a next time, I can't guarantee I won't miss."

Gao Yang pointed at Xiao Jianyuan and said coldly.

He disliked this grandson from the very beginning. If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Jianyuan's identity was too sensitive and that countless people were watching him, he would have thrown him into a ravine long ago.

He wouldn't have gone to such lengths if he hadn't been waiting for Xiao Zhenguo to be arrested as well.

Now things are looking up. The net is closing in, and none of Xiao Jianyuan's cases will escape trial. They no longer have to endure it.

The way he looked at Xiao Jianyuan was exactly like looking at a dead body.

"You! You dare lay a hand on me! I am the head of the Xiao family, and the Xiao family will never let you get away with this!"

Xiao Jianyuan braced his neck and said defiantly.

However, the fear in his eyes betrayed him.

"Let me go? Shouldn't you worry about yourself first?"

Gao Yang walked over step by step, a smirk playing on his lips, his eyes icy cold.

"How long do you think the Xiao family can remain prosperous?"

"How long do you think Xiao Zhenguo, who's behind you, can protect you?"

"Let me tell you, from the moment you coveted the Su family, you were destined for destruction."

He walked over to Xiao Jianyuan and looked down at his grandson.

Although Xiao Jianyuan was still wearing fine clothes, they were now covered in dust.

"Believe it or not, Su Wanqing's phone call is the judge's pen that decides your life or death."

His aura was fully unleashed, and a bone-chilling cold gradually spread, freezing Xiao Jianyuan's entire body along his limbs.

Xiao Jianyuan looked at Su Wanqing.

There seemed to be a very heated argument on the other end of the phone, but Su Wanqing remained indifferent, answering whatever the other person said without ever arguing back.

A growing sense of unease gradually rose in his chest.

Indeed, the situation was urgent just now. He didn't say what happened, nor did he listen to what the other side was saying. He was only focused on shouting for help.

If the other party were truly one of their own, there would definitely be phone calls coming in now, and many people would be rushing to claim credit.

He realized the problem, looked at the mobile phone in his hand, and the fear in his eyes became more and more obvious.

He looked up at Gao Yang.

In an instant, fear, terror, and pleading for help were all over his face.

"It's okay, this is just the beginning."

Gao Yang was very satisfied with Xiao Jianyuan's expression, just as Xiao Jianyuan had just satisfied Nangong Ming's expression.

He leaned down and whispered in Xiao Jianyuan's ear.

"Let me guess how you'll die in the end?"

"Will you be torn to pieces by your enemies, or killed by Xiao Zhenguo? After all, you've made countless enemies during your time in charge, and many people would rather sacrifice themselves to replace you."

"As for Xiao Zhenguo, he probably doesn't have time to care about you. He's probably frantically seeking help right now."

Will it work?

"No, that's impossible. Only destruction awaits your Xiao family."

Gao Yang spoke softly, as if he were speaking to someone intimately.

These words struck Xiao Jianyuan like a bolt from the blue.

Xiao Jianyuan felt dizzy and disoriented.

"No, that's impossible, you must be lying to me."

His eyes were bloodshot, and he shouted, startling everyone who turned to look at him.

"I am the head of the Xiao family, and behind me is Xiao Zhenguo. With his status, how could anything possibly happen to him?"

"You're lying to me, you must be lying to me!"

"Hehe, I almost fell for your trick."

Xiao Jianyuan got up from the ground, staggered back two steps, and clenched his fists tightly.

His fingernails dug deep into his palms, bleeding unnoticed, as he roared at Gao Yang, trying to mask his fear with hysterical madness.

"You're just a nobody, and Su Wanqing is just an ordinary woman. What makes you think you can fight the Xiao family? What makes you think you can fight Xiao Zhenguo?"

"Once he sends his men here, you'll all face certain death!"

He hurriedly picked up his mobile phone, pressed a few keys randomly, and quietly put his ear close to the receiver, hoping to hear some sound.

This time, however, he was met with endless notification sounds.

Seeing this, Gao Yang shrugged noncommittally.

Since things have come to this point, there's no need to continue. He just needs to wait for the moment of judgment.

Su Wanqing hung up the phone at that moment.

"Boss, how's it going?"

Qian Liu immediately moved closer, looking nervous.

The members of the Nangong family dared not breathe, fearing they might hear some bad news.

Su Wanqing smiled faintly and said, "It's alright, we've finished talking. Qin Wanshan has explained everything inside, and the people from Yicheng and Yuncheng have also taken action and brought Xiao Zhenguo under control."

"People from Lincheng are also heading here. They'll arrive at the Nangong family's residence in another half hour."

She looked at Nangong Ming.

"Patriarch Nangong, now that the matter is almost resolved, I'd like to ask, is the cooperation we initially agreed upon still valid?"

Nangong Ming was taken aback, completely unexpected that Su Wanqing would ask him this question at this moment.

It wasn't until Nangong Qinglang nudged him with his elbow that he realized what was happening.

"It's a deal, it's definitely a deal! The wages will be as you said before. If you need anything, just let us know, and the Nangong family will cooperate fully."

Hearing the answer she wanted, Su Wanqing finally looked at Gao Yang.

She took Gao Yang's hand.

"Let's go. We can leave this to them to handle in a bit. You've worked hard these past few days. You just finished eating, so take a rest."

Gao Yang nodded, completely ignoring Xiao Jianyuan behind him.

At this moment, Xiao Jianyuan finally realized the truth. Realizing that the sky had fallen, he slumped to the ground, muttering to himself, "It's over, it's all over."

No one stepped forward.

He only has himself to blame.
