Chapter 270 - Get out of here!

However, Xiao Quan quickly came to his senses and changed his tone, “You’re talking nonsense, when have I ever accepted benefits from the Su Family?”

Damn it, daring to commit the act but not brave enough to own up to it.

Seeing Xiao Quan first admit out of panic and then deny it again, Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but sneer, “If you don’t want anyone to know, don’t do it.”

With that, Ye Haochuan used the technique Dragon Claw Thousands of Miles, his powerful True Qi condensing into a seemingly tangible dragon claw that snatched Xiao Quan, who was several meters away, back to him.

“Ah!” Xiao Quan let out a terrified scream.

But soon, Ye Haochuan had grabbed him and sealed his Mute Acupoint, rendering him unable to speak, his face turning pale to the extreme.

Ye Haochuan couldn’t be bothered to look at this wretch’s pitiful state and reached directly into the pocket of his suit to pull out an item, which turned out to be a check!

The check was for three million Huaxia currency, signed by the name of Su Shiwei, Chairman of the Su Group.

It turned out that Ye Haochuan had unintentionally activated his Perspective Eyes earlier and discovered the check on Xiao Quan’s person, which was why he had decisively stopped Xiao Quan and captured him.

“Xiao Quan, this time I want to see how you explain yourself,” Ye Haochuan said with a cold smile as he handed the check to Old Master Xiao.

Old Master Xiao had initially been puzzled by Ye Haochuan’s actions, but upon seeing the check, everything became clear.

“Xiao Quan, Xiao Quan, for three million Huaxia currency, you were willing to betray the Xiao Family and work for the Su Family, have you no conscience?” Old Master Xiao roared furiously.

The shareholders at the door had actually not gone far and were watching; they slowly started to realize that they had been incited by this villain, Xiao Quan.

In an instant, the shareholders became outraged, directing their verbal and written condemnations at Xiao Quan, the instigator, amidst a chorus of abuses.

Xiao Quan was already trembling with fear, unable to be arrogant in the face of irrefutable evidence.

After a while, Old Master Xiao then instructed Ye Haochuan, “Throw him out!”

Ye Haochuan then picked up Xiao Quan like one would a chicken and took him outside the villa, tossing him out as if he were trash.

Poor Xiao Quan, at the age of fifty-something, rolled several times on the ground before coming to a stop, in a state of utmost embarrassment.

The shareholders who had come out along with him cast scornful looks his way and left without a word.

“Xiao Quan, get lost immediately!

Go back and tell your master at the Su Family, if they keep playing these little tricks behind our back, don’t blame me for not being polite.”

After saying this, Ye Haochuan harrumphed coldly and went back into the villa.

In fact, Ye Haochuan didn’t want to be an enemy of the Su Family, he could see that Su Zehao was upright and a friend worth making.

But now, with the Su Family and the Xiao Family at odds like fire and water, if he had to choose sides, he would have to lean more towards the Xiao Family.

Watching the retreating figure of Ye Haochuan, Xiao Quan’s face was filled with a look of bitter hatred.

An hour later, in the villa of Su Shiwei, Chairman of the Su Group, within the Shining Industry Villa District, the home of the venerable Su Family.

The septuagenarian, with a full head of white hair, Old Master Su’s face was ashen as he stared at his adopted son Su Zehao, who was kneeling on the ground.

“Zehao, I sent you to the Xiao family to deal with Xiao Jian, yet you went and offered him birthday congratulations to his face, even took care of internal affairs for the Xiao Family, and even used the extremely precious Resurrection Pill to save his life.

You really are my ‘good adopted son’, aren’t you!”

Su Zehao hesitated, his expression extremely troubled, and after quite a while, he finally said, “Stepfather, although our Su Family competes with the Xiao Family in business, should we really kick them while they’re down like this?

In business, it’s fine to use tactics, but they must be honorable; only then can we avoid the scorn of our peers…”

“Shut your mouth!” Old Master Su burst into a rage, “You insolent boy, now that you’ve stepped into the Postnatal Peak, just one step away from the Innate Realm, you dare talk back to me like this?”

“Zehao wouldn’t dare,” Su Zehao hurriedly bowed his head and dared not make another sound.

Snorting, Old Master Su said, “Back then, Xiao Jian, relying on his higher cultivation, stole the woman I loved most, driving me to mental disarray.

My Dantian was destroyed, not only missing the opportunity to break through to the Innate Realm but also losing the rights of being a man.

I must take revenge for this grudge.”

It turned out that Old Master Su had once been a disciple of the Institute of Extensive Learning and had become enemies with Elder Xiao due to complications of the heart.

His purpose for coming to Haishan was only one – revenge.

And the first step to revenge was to destroy the business empire personally built by Xiao Jian.

At that moment, the door was pushed open, and a woman in her twenties walked in, dressed in a sexy red bodysuit.

This woman was none other than Su Manni, the adopted daughter of Old Master Su, the CEO of the Su Group.

Su Manni was beautiful, with a sexy figure, and a natural business prodigy.

The Su Group owes its success to her today.

Unlike Su Zehao, she wasn’t obsessed with martial arts and even detested violence.

However, she genuinely respected and cared for her adopted brother Su Zehao, and they had always shared a deep bond.

“Stepfather, don’t be hard on big brother.

He’s inherently upright.

How could you expect him to do such things?” Su Manni said, looking at Old Master Su with a charming and engaging smile.

Old Master Su sighed, looked at Su Zehao with some disappointment, and waved his hand, “Go out.”

Only then did Su Zehao stand up.

Upon leaving, he looked gratefully at his adopted sister Su Manni, who responded with a sweet smile.

Once the adopted son had left, Old Master Su asked, “Manni, what’s the matter?”

Su Manni said, “It’s like this, stepfather.

Xiao Quan just came to see me, saying that he failed to incite the shareholders of the Xiao Group to make trouble and instead revealed the cheque you gave him to Ye Haochuan…”

“Waste!” Old Master Su cursed out loud.

Su Manni smiled faintly and said, “Calm your anger, stepfather.

Although that Xiao Quan is not good for much and tends to ruin things, at least he managed to find some confirmed information.”

Old Master Su’s eyebrows rose as he asked, “You mean the Xiao Family is preparing to transfer their assets?”

“Exactly!” Su Manni laughed, “Just as we predicted, now that the Xiao Family’s capital chain has broken and the shareholders are inevitably dissatisfied; the banks are also collecting debts.

It’s impossible for the Xiao Group to survive this, and only by transferring assets to appease the banks and shareholders can the Xiao Family avoid the brink of collapse.”

“Xiao Jian does have some guts,” Old Master Su snorted, “But I want to see who dares to take up this hot potato and accept his mess.”

Su Manni smiled sagely and said, “Stepfather, the situation has changed.

The Xiao Family has made such a fast decision to sever an arm to survive, which must be pointing to a bigger plan.

If I’m not mistaken, the Xiao Family must be planning to rely on Ye Haochuan to make a comeback.

With Ye Haochuan’s terrifying ability to attract money, it is quite possible that he could help the Xiao Family tide over this crisis.”

“Oh?” Old Master Su was stunned, “Just a medical practitioner of an ancient martial arts sect, and he has such great capability?”

“Stepfather, Ye Haochuan shouldn’t be viewed as an ordinary medical practitioner.

His achievements in the Medical Path far surpass his peers in the ancient martial arts sects.

According to my investigations, he has refined Hellfire’s Body-Strengthening Pill and managed to make it into a Body-Strengthening Pill with no side effects, which is something not just anyone can do.”

A look of admiration emerged on Su Manni’s face as she continued, “You might not know, stepfather, but one of his Body-Strengthening Pills sells for millions.

With his help, it probably won’t take long for the Xiao Family to rise again.”

Only then did Old Master Su understand and after contemplating, he asked, “Then, Manni, what do you plan to do?”

Su Manni smiled mysteriously and said, “Quite simple, if we want to strike against the Xiao Family, then we should find a way to pull Ye Haochuan over to our side.

If the Xiao Family wants to recruit him as their son-in-law, my Su Family can do the same!”

Old Master Su was startled, then realized, “Manni, have you taken a liking to that boy?”
