Even if Xie Yao is saved, Xie Yuanping will likely suffer serious damage and won't dare to step forward again for some time.

Xia Chuyue's prediction was correct.

Xie Yuanping cared deeply for his son, Xie Yao.

After abandoning several hidden leads and spending a large sum of money, they finally managed to suppress the matter.

The next morning, videos of Xie Yao drunkenly criticizing directors and his assault on fans at a movie theater were all taken down online.

Almost every time a related topic appears online, it is immediately blocked or deleted.

Xie Yuanping has worked at the Xia Group for so many years, so he does have some influence and connections.

Xie Yao was hungover all night and stayed in the hotel for two whole days before returning home looking haggard and weak.

At home, Xie Yuanping sat on the sofa with a sullen face, drinking tea.

Seeing his son's useless state, he smashed the teacup in his hand.

"Kneel down!"

Xie Yao was startled and took a step back, staring blankly at his father.

"What's wrong? Why are you so angry so early in the morning?"

He gestured towards his mother with his lip, completely oblivious to any potential danger.

"What's wrong with my dad? Is he going through menopause?"

Li Ling had been busy taking care of this son, and upon hearing this, she sighed in disappointment.

“Xiao Yao, you’ve been really out of control lately. Your father hasn’t slept for days because of you.”

Xie Yao simply responded with an "oh" that didn't seem to care at all.

"What can I do? I'm his son, after all."

Xie Yuanping was furious this time. In order to help his son clean up the mess, he had almost no resources left to seize power!

"Kneel down before me!"
