"Brother, can you make the decision about this?" Li Xiao asked Cheng Shaolin, pretending not to understand.

Cheng Shaoheng was puzzled. "Why can't I make the decision?"

Li Xiao laughed, "It seems he doesn't understand. He can't make all the decisions for our team." Li Xiao pointed at Cheng Shaolin, "He's not the captain, he's just the vice-captain."

Cheng Shaoheng then realized that he was indeed only the deputy captain of the Chaoyang Squad, not the captain.

"What's wrong? You're the vice-captain, so you don't have a say?" Cheng Shaoheng said sarcastically, thinking that this would provoke Cheng Shaolin's competitive spirit.

Cheng Shaolin didn't understand anything, but he just smiled faintly, "No, it's just that a deputy is a deputy. We are still very enlightened, not a one-man show."

Li Xiao nodded in agreement with Cheng Shaolin's words.

Cheng Shaoheng encountered both soft and hard rejections, leaving him feeling frustrated and annoyed.

Seeing his son fail so miserably, Cheng Feihong, as an elder, spoke up.

"No matter what, we're all family. You should all think about the family. The situation is bad right now, can't you prioritize the family?"

Neither Cheng Shaolin nor Li Xiao spoke. Since this matter couldn't be explained, they brought up the family issue.

They've got a pretty good plan to bring them into the family this way.

However, they are not so easy to control.

If things had been discussed properly from the beginning, they wouldn't have disagreed.

Li Xiao felt that Cheng Shaolin and Yu Yanbin had considered it, but Cheng Shaoheng's attitude at the beginning was too disgusting, so they just threw the opportunity aside.

Trying to control others while also wanting to gain benefits—they're treating everyone like fools.

“Uncle, the team doesn’t belong to me alone. It’s not a place where I can make all the decisions.”

"Shao Lin, why don't you put more effort into keeping the team under your own control?"

Li Xiao and Cheng Shaolin were both taken aback. Did he mean that?

"If that's your reason, then we can help you keep the team in your hands."

Cheng Feihong pressed on, fearing his good nephew might not have heard clearly, so he explained it even more clearly.

Cheng Shaolin was shocked to find that his uncle's family had such a plan.

Is it possible that if I can't meet their expectations, they will also eliminate me?

Thinking of this, he gripped Li Xiao's hand even tighter.

Li Xiao was also very surprised.

Are people really this blatant?

Aren't you afraid they'll tell others?

Or do you still feel like you have something to rely on?

After thinking it over, she looked at Cheng Shaolin.

Cheng Shaolin had no idea what else he was looking at, and quickly looked away from Li Xiao.

Cheng Feiyue and He Yunzhen were also surprised that their elder brother would say such a thing. Was it really that obvious?

The two of them were also feeling bad; how could this person be like this?

"No, Uncle. I won't do that. Besides, the captain is quite capable, and the team is stronger with him."

Cheng Feihong looked at Cheng Shaolin and finally smiled.

"It's okay, even if you're stronger, you can still change your strength."

Cheng Shaolin gritted his teeth and stared expressionlessly at the father and son opposite him.

"Is this why you summoned me here today?"

Cheng Shaolin said coldly.

Looking at the two people sitting on the opposite sofa, and seeing their confident expressions, Cheng Shaolin felt a surge of anger.

Is this coercion?

What, do you think you can be controlled by me?

Cheng Shaolin's mind raced, and he forcefully suppressed the flames of anger within him.

He patted Li Xiao's hand to comfort her, and said with a smile, "You'd better not do that. No one is easy to mess with. I can tell you clearly, this is impossible."

Having said that, he no longer wanted to deal with the father and son, and made his final decision.

Are they so arrogant just because their grandfather isn't around?

Do you really think you can have everything under control?

Ha, it seems they don't know their own limitations.

"Tell Grandpa that I won't be coming again."

After saying that, he got up to leave.

"Shao Lin, how dare you!" Cheng Feihong roared, abruptly standing up from the sofa.

“Cheng Shaolin, do you remember this? If you leave here today, you will no longer be a member of the Cheng family.”

Cheng Shaolin slowly turned around to look at Cheng Shaoheng, whose eyes were filled with malice. He narrowed his eyes and said coolly, "What? Are you trying to blackmail me?"

"If that's how you feel, then you can think that way."

Cheng Shaolin smirked and said sarcastically, "You think I'd compromise?"

Cheng Shaoheng didn't say anything. In his opinion, things had come to this point, and even the most foolish person would know what to choose.

What he didn't expect was that he was not facing a spineless person; the other party had strong power and didn't care about his threats at all.

Seeing Cheng Shaoheng's unbridled confidence and determination, Cheng Shaolin merely curled the corners of his lips and gave Cheng Shaoheng a sneer.

"Then you'll be disappointed. I'm not buying it. I'm not threatened in any way."

He gave Cheng Feihong and his son a cold look, then pulled Li Xiao and supported He Yunzhen's shoulders as they left the Cheng family villa.

…………

Seeing that Cheng Shaolin was clearly in a bad mood, Li Xiao was very worried.

Actually, she had noticed it earlier; the way that family was looking at her was too blatant.

They didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning was clear: besides wanting to take away the captain's power, there was another layer of implication.

That's her.

They also want to take themselves down.

Nothing is safer than holding something in your own hands.

This is also why Cheng Shaolin is in a bad mood.
