"Why should I? Some things just can't be forgiven!"

"These are what you owe me! And even more so what Xu Bing owes me. I have already made my biggest concessions, and now he is the one who broke his promise!"

"Why shouldn't I speak up? I'm going to take back what's rightfully mine!"

Xu Song roared in response to the old man's words.

"Xiaosong, you... sigh!"

Looking at Xu Song, who was almost insane, Old Master Xu couldn't bring himself to say the words he was about to utter.

In the end, all that could be said was a long sigh.

That's partly his fault; when he was young and impetuous, he offended quite a few people.

His wife was driven to her death by their enemies, and now it seems his two sons are about to be driven to their deaths as well.

Left with no other choice, she had to decide between her two sons.

Without a doubt, the young and studious Xu Song became the victim.

These secrets are known only to the Xu family.

"I'll talk to Xiaobing about what you did. I'll step in and cover it up for you, and he'll give you the money. You can still be a young master. How does that sound?"

Knowing he owed Xu Song something, the old man could only make a decision in this regard.

After all, they are your own children; they are all equally dear to you, and it's hard to treat them all the same.

But for Old Master Xu, all he wanted was to make up for Xu Song as much as possible.

"No need, Dad, I don't want the money anymore. I just want my share of the equity!"

Xu Song had a firm grasp on the old man's feelings of indebtedness towards him.

Since Xu Bing didn't prioritize others, he didn't need to consider anything else.

Unless the old man makes a will before his death, bequeathing all the shares to Xu Bing.

Otherwise, he would definitely have a share in Baogeli! That's an indisputable fact.

"What if I don't give it to you?"

"I'm not dead yet, so you two are acting like I don't exist and starting to fight over the inheritance, is that it?"

Seeing that the gentle approach wasn't working, Old Master Xu's tone became much harsher.

He did owe Xu Song a debt, but that doesn't necessarily mean he had to make it up to him in this way.

It's even less likely that they would destroy the family's century-old foundation.

"Since you've already said that, what else can I say?"

"That depends on how long you can live. Anyway, I'm determined to fight for the shares!"

After saying that, Xu Song left decisively; there was no point in staying any longer.

It's obvious that the old man favors Xu Bing. If the old man hadn't died, Xu Song wouldn't have had a chance at all.

"Oh, what a tragedy!"

After Xu Song left, Old Master Xu slumped into his armchair and could only sigh.

For families like theirs, disputes over inheritance are an inevitable occurrence.

Xu Song originally only wanted money and had no interest in the group.

However, Xu Bing forced him into this situation.

There's no point in discussing who's right or wrong anymore; right or wrong is irrelevant now.

"I'm finally back!"

After a journey of more than two hours, Lu Fan and his group finally arrived in Guangcheng.

The convoy, which wasn't particularly eye-catching in the southern part of the city, attracted a lot of attention the moment it arrived in Guangcheng.

This left Lu Fan somewhat helpless, so he simply closed the window.

Wow, Guangcheng has changed so much in just over a year!

Lu Xi didn't care about any of that. She leaned against the car window, looking at the tall buildings standing on both sides of the road.

I've only been in Nancheng for a short time, but Guangcheng has changed dramatically. I have to say, the speed of its development is simply beyond my imagination.

Everyone was in a good mood upon returning to Guangcheng.

Wu Hui, in particular, had lived in this place for decades and felt quite nostalgic.

"Time to go home!"

The convoy surged into the traffic of Guangcheng, with surrounding vehicles practically hugging the walls.

I just want to stay as far away from the big shot's convoy as possible.

There's no way around it; if you accidentally scratch it, you really can't afford to pay for it.

This resulted in a spectacular sight on the congested roads of Guangcheng.

Amidst the congested traffic, a median strip was deliberately cleared out.

The cars closest to the convoy maintained a distance of two parking spaces, as if afraid of getting too close.

It wouldn't be so bad if it were just a Rolls-Royce, but the key point is that they were escorted by five Land Rovers.

This is quite intriguing. It's obvious even to a fool that the owner of this Rolls-Royce is no ordinary wealthy person.

Originally intending to return home quietly, they ended up trending on Guangzhou's hot search list because of their motorcade.

It truly proves the saying that one might want to keep a low profile, but unfortunately, one's abilities don't allow it.

Lu Fan and the others were still on their way home.

Meanwhile, in Lu Jinyu's office on the other side.

“Old Lu, your old house will stay there no matter where it is, and your family doesn’t need that extra house.”

"Your area is currently being developed, so you'll be the representative!"

"Sign here and set an example for everyone!"

Zhang Jiawei, the director of the subdistrict office, stood in front of Lu Jinyu and earnestly persuaded her.

"Director Zhang, it's not that I don't want to sign, but the price they offered is far below the market price. Isn't it obvious that they want to exploit me?"

"I cannot sign this document, and I certainly cannot set this example!"

"I can't let everyone suffer!"

Lu Jinyu's attitude was very firm.

It's not that he's stubborn; in the past two years, Guangzhou has undergone large-scale development, and many old and dilapidated houses have been rebuilt.

The place where Lu Jinyu and his group used to live happened to be in the area planned for reconstruction.

It was supposed to be a good thing, but the developers have driven the price down too much.

"Do you really need that little bit of money? Besides, the higher-ups have been urging us to do this for a long time, and dragging it out any longer will be very detrimental to the development of the old town!"
