"Where do you think these shares came from? This is the inheritance your father left you. The Xiao family didn't touch a single penny, and they even carefully preserved the dividends from these years for you."

Qingyun's words incisively exposed Xiao Chengzhe's lies. His pupils contracted slightly; of course he knew these things! When he first secretly desired to obtain the Xiao family's assets, Xiao Chengzhe's sense of morality held him back, but malicious speculation followed: What if the Xiao family wronged him? Wouldn't he then have a perfectly legitimate reason to take them?

The father and his two sons remained silent.

After a long while, Xiao's father said to Xiao Chengzhe in a hoarse voice, "Go abroad to avoid the storm."

Upon hearing this, Qingyun glanced at him but said nothing. She simply tore off a blank check and left it to cover the Xiao family's deficit.

Mr. Xiao's body hunched over almost instantly. Holding the check, he slowly stood up and silently walked upstairs.

Qingyun did not linger and got up to leave.

Xiao's mother leaned closer, frowning as she watched Xiao's father's retreating figure, and complained to Qingyun with a hint of resentment, "Am I mistaken? You're not his biological daughter?"

Both Xiao Chengzhe and Xiao Chengnuo made mistakes, but the treatment they received from their father was terrible.

Qingyun's gaze also turned cold. Xiao's father's attitude made him realize that the protagonist was indeed not so easy to bring down. His mission was not yet completely completed, and perhaps if he was not careful, Xiao Chengnuo would once again become Xiao Chengzhe's stepping stone.

The Zou Group's announcement of its collaboration with Ruixin Pharmaceuticals drew considerable attention. Ruixin Pharmaceuticals has always maintained a low profile, with neither its technical team nor management revealed, and public understanding of the company limited to its various drugs.

However, the remarkable effects of the drug have shrouded Ruixin Pharmaceutical in mystery.

The projects launched by the Zou family have always attracted attention. People had been speculating about his partners for this project, but no one expected that he would end up bringing in such a big name as Ruixin Pharmaceutical.

Some people have mentioned the strong momentum of Xiao's Pharmaceuticals, and almost everyone initially thought that this cooperation opportunity was a sure thing for Xiao's. But now that the result is out, it feels like it was meant to be.

After all, the collaboration between the Zou family and Ruixin is a powerful alliance, while the collaboration with the Xiao family would at most be considered poverty alleviation.

Xiao Chengzhe sat in his car drinking, staring at the words "strong alliance" on the news, while absentmindedly listening to the words coming from his phone.

It was Zou Qiyao calling. Zou Qiyao, unusually, launched into a tirade on the phone: "You've ruined me! You've fucking ruined me, Xiao Chengzhe! Are you out of your mind, encouraging me to go after Xiao Chengnuo? You even said he'd steal Xiao's company from you? You should look in the mirror and see what you look like..."

Xiao Chengzhe took a big gulp of beer. He felt something was wrong, he felt things shouldn't be like this. He should be the one who achieves fame and fortune, reaching the pinnacle of life, while Xiao Chengnuo should be trampled into the dust, suffering a fate worse than death!

Everything was wrong with Xiao Chengnuo; without him, everything would be normal. A hint of madness flashed in Xiao Chengzhe's eyes as he watched a car speed past him and quickly started the engine.

"It's been a week already!" Zou Minchen complained to Qingyun as he drove. These days, he could see her but not have her, and Qingyun still liked to flirt with him, which almost drove Zou Minchen crazy.

Since getting together with Qingyun, neither of them likes having other people around them, so Zou Minchen does everything himself, from driving to cooking. Fortunately, these trivial matters distract Zou Minchen, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to put up with it until now.

"Drive carefully." Qingyun pushed away the man who was practically clinging to her. Zou Minchen had been sexually frustrated these past few days, and now his face could only be described as "haggard."

In fact, Qingyun was also getting a little impatient. He wasn't indifferent to Zou Minchen, and a week was about the limit he could tolerate.

Zou Minchen stopped the car by the roadside without saying a word, just looking pitifully at Qingyun, looking just like a big dog with its head drooping and ears hanging down.

Qingyun felt a little reluctant, so he beckoned Zou Minchen to come closer, then leaned over and licked his dry lips with the tip of his tongue.

The softness on his lips sent shivers down Zou Minchen's spine. He couldn't resist any longer and pulled Qingyun closer, wanting to go even deeper. However, the seatbelts on both of them restricted his movements.

"Damn it!" Zou Minchen raised his hand to unbuckle the seatbelt, but Qingyun stopped him.

Qingyun pushed his shoulder and pointed out the window that there was a convenience store right by the roadside.

"I like strawberry flavor, hurry up, I'll wait for you." The warm breath from Qingyun's seductive words brushed against Zou Minchen's ear, making his eyes redden, like a predatory beast. He unbuckled his seatbelt, hugged Qingyun, and kissed her fiercely before getting out of the car and heading towards the convenience store.

If Zou Minchen wants something, someone will deliver it to him; there's absolutely no need for him to buy it himself. He knew perfectly well that Qingyun was just being mischievous again, wanting to see him embarrassed.

Qingyun watched as Zou Minchen impatiently walked into the convenience store, but the smile on her lips suddenly faltered.

His divine sense, which he had left on Xiao Chengzhe, was rapidly approaching.

Qingyun guessed Xiao Chengzhe's plan, and his expression gradually calmed down. He hadn't expected Xiao Chengzhe to be so reckless, but it was exactly what Qingyun wanted. Xiao Chengzhe had run him over with his car in public; with Ruixin's power and Zou Minchen's connections, Xiao Chengzhe definitely wouldn't have a chance to recover.

Moreover, he could conveniently use this opportunity to escape this world, just as the protagonist was completely defeated, and his mission was accomplished. He has always been ruthless, not only towards others but also towards himself.

Thinking of this, Qingyun turned her head and quietly looked at the man in the convenience store who was seriously picking out condoms.

Zou Minchen paid with a stern face. He was about to leave with a bag of things when he heard a loud "boom." Flames suddenly appeared outside the door. Zou Minchen's heart clenched, and without thinking, he rushed out.

"This...this is ruined?" The Wang family patriarch stammered, his lips trembling.

"Not only that..." Patriarch Gu stared intently at the screen, "Look at the energy emanating from his palm; he's blatantly destroyed Lin Yuhao's meridians and joints. From now on, not only will his cultivation be ruined, but he'll also be crippled..."

Upon hearing this, the several old foxes, half-buried in the grave, felt a chill run down their spines as they looked at Qingyun's seemingly gentle expression. So young, with such high cultivation, yet so ruthless!

This child named Qingyun truly made them feel inferior.

Hearing the excited gasps below, Nie Chenyuan chuckled with a sense of pride. Qingyun was extremely perceptive; she was not the kind of person who would be swayed by a few words and let a tiger return to the mountain.

After the game ended, he picked up his phone and made a call.
