Xin Zhou's mother was divorced to make room for Xiao Si. Knowing that it was a foregone conclusion that she could not change Xin Huaiping's mind, she simply proposed that her son join the company, and she would divorce him if her son joined the company.

Therefore, Xin Zhou now holds an idle position in the Xin Group.

The car was halfway there, and Xin Zhou was embarrassed to say that it was still early and he could arrange for Master Lu and the Taoist boy to go wherever they wanted, when the phone rang.

It was Xin Zhou's mother calling. Xin Zhou pulled the car over to the side of the road. Without the hands-free mode on, the woman's shrill, crazy voice could be heard clearly in the back seat.

"What are you doing! Why did your dad kick you out of the company? Xin Zhou, I worked so hard to get a divorce for you and let you join the company, and you got kicked out anyway!!!"

Xin Zhou: "Did Xin Huaiping call you?"

Although it was a question, it was very affirmative.

"I don't care what you think. Go to the company now and tell your dad. I'm giving up my marriage for you. To make you—"

"If it weren't for me, even if it weren't for me, Xin Huaiping would still divorce you." Xin Zhou said with suppressed emotion.

The person on the other end of the phone was humiliated and screamed hysterically: "Xin Zhou, are you going to force me to death? If you force me to death, I will agree. For whom have I endured all these years? It's all for your own good..."

Back and forth, saying it was for your own good, asking Xin Zhou to obey the arrangements, otherwise he would commit suicide, and that Xin Zhou was unfilial. Lin Xuan sat in the passenger seat and saw the veins bulging in Xin Zhou's hand holding the phone. Finally, his face calmly said, "I understand. I'll go back to the company now."

"That's right. Even if that little bitch is pregnant, what's the big deal? It's still unclear whether she can give birth. With her despicable character, she might give birth to a mentally retarded idiot." Xin Zhou's mother nagging for a while, and when her son obeyed, she calmed down and said in a gentle voice, "Apologize to your father."

"I know."

After ending the call, Xin Zhou said calmly, "I'll take Master Lu back to the hotel first. I have something urgent to do at the company."

Lin Xuan was terrified now. On the one hand, he felt that Xin Zhou was too pitiful and sympathized with him. On the other hand, he thought it was amazing that he could remain calm and flexible after this phone call.

I'm still a little angry.

"Are you really going to the company?" Lin Xuan felt that he would be bullied if he went back.

As expected, if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather.

Back row Lu said goodbye and said: "Go to the company."

"Master Lu is going too?"

"Go and have a look."

So the car changed direction and headed for the Xin Group. The company building was quite impressive, and with Xin Zhou leading them inside, everything went smoothly. Xin Zhou was the supervisor in the logistics department, though he was actually the former supervisor, now the deputy supervisor.

Xin Zhou is a lone commander.

The office was bright and spacious, but as soon as he entered, Xin Huaiping called and asked Xin Zhou to come to his office. His tone was extremely harsh.

"Can we go together?" Lu Cijiu asked.

Xin Zhou thought of Xin Huaiping hanging out with Fang Xiaoyun all day. If there was something wrong with Fang Xiaoyun, Xin Huaiping would be able to tell. He nodded in agreement and said, "Master Lu, don't mind if he says anything unpleasant."

"It's okay, I'll just take a look."

The kids and Gong Xichao stayed in the office waiting.

The president's office was on the upper floors, and they took the elevator to the office. When the secretary saw Xin Zhou coming, he said coldly, "President Xin asked you to come in. No one else is allowed to come in."

"It has nothing to do with you." Xin Zhou's face was cold and his tone was tough.

The secretary curled her lips. Even when he was about to die, he was still showing off in front of her. Everyone knew that an hour ago, President Xin was cursing Xin Zhou on the phone, telling him to get out of the company. He was so angry that he called his ex-wife and scolded her for a full ten minutes.

In order to watch the show, the secretary said nothing and opened the door to let the two in.

Xin Huaiping was sixty-five years old, dressed in formal attire, sitting behind a large desk. He had ordinary features, but was tall and strong. He did not look like an old man whose body had been hollowed out by alcohol and sex. Instead, he was full of energy and spirit.

"You dare to come back? What did you want to do when I married Xiaoyun last time? Ah, if it weren't for the fact that you are my son, I would not forgive you. What else do you want to do when you come home today? Suicide failed, and you even hired some ghost master. What are you planning to do to harm Xiaoyun?"

Xin Huaiping slammed the table and shouted angrily.

Xin Zhou said nothing.

Xin Huaiping pointed at Xin Zhou's nose and cursed: "I raised you up, you bastard, you even hurt your stepmother. Get out, get out of here, don't come to the company anymore, I'm tired of seeing you."

Xin Zhou turned around without saying a word, opened the door and let Master Lu go out first.

As soon as I went out, I saw my elder and second brothers watching the show outside the door.

"Tsk tsk, what a brilliant student! He committed suicide right after returning from studying abroad, and now he's even learned to hire a master? I didn't realize, Xiao San, you're quite capable."

The speaker is Xin Zhou's second brother, Xin Fan. Because Xin Zhou's mother came to power and the second wife was divorced, Xin Fan has deliberately called Xin Zhou the mistress to squeeze Xin Zhou since he was a child.

The older brother Xin Hang said, "Forget it. We've all been kicked out. Xin Zhou, if you're not feeling well, go see a doctor. Mental illness can be serious or minor. Don't put it off."

The eldest and the second oldest are three years apart in age. When they were young, Xin Fan and Xin Hang had a fight when the second wife first came to power. Later, Xin Zhou's mother came to power, and she has been in power for more than 20 years. The two of them shared a common hatred and held a grudge against Xin Zhou.

Lu Cijiu was enjoying the rich family's big melon and thought it was just like what was shown on TV.

It's so melodramatic.

"My mother was Madam Xin for twenty years, and I was kicked out with just one word from Fang Xiaoyun. Do you two think Fang Xiaoyun will let you go? Or do you think Xin Huaiping will treat you as his precious sons?" Xin Zhou said sarcastically with a sneer.

He turned around and said gently, "Master Lu, let's go."

Lu Cijiu nodded. Perhaps Xin Zhou had provoked his two brothers, who were mocking and attacking him. Lu Cijiu was not angry. He smiled and said, "If you get scared, call Xin Zhou."

"Scared? What are you afraid of? Are you really thinking of casting a spell?"

"Is this the master that Xiao San hired? This is hilarious. With this IQ, people would probably discourage him from studying abroad."

The two brothers were talking to each other, but Xin Zhou pretended not to hear and pressed the elevator button to go down with Master Lu. Someone in the elevator said, "Master, do you mean Fang Xiaoyun is going to attack them?"

"If I can't find you, I'll always find someone else." Lu Cijiu said lightly and didn't say anything else.

After picking up the kids, he went straight back to the hotel. On the way, Xin Zhou's mother called again. Xin Zhou didn't even answer and hung up. This happened several times in a row. Finally, Lu Cijiu saw that Boss Diao was about to lose his temper because of the noise, so he quickly pressed Boss Diao's hand and mouthed: Don't be angry, don't be angry.

Gong Xichao looked at the hand on the back of his hand. Lu Cijiu would find a chance to touch him even if he didn't have the chance.

Forget it, let’s just argue.

But in the end, Xin Zhou still answered the phone and spoke first: "If you die, don't worry. If you jump off the building, I will jump after you and repay your kindness with my life. Is there anything else?"

Xin Zhou's mother was stunned when her furious mood was interrupted by her son's calm tone.

"Xin Zhou——"

"I'm an adult now. I won't join the Xin family anymore, and I'll give up Xin Huaiping's inheritance rights. Don't yell. If you want to kill me, fine. I'll wait for the hospital to send me the death notice, and then I'll give you my life. It's nothing else. I'm hanging up now."

Xin Zhou calmly ended the call.

Driving to the hotel, Lin Xuan sat in the passenger seat and watched the closest. His friend seemed calm, but the veins on the back of his hand were bulging and his fingers were trembling. He never thought that family relationships and mother-son relationships would become like this.

It was like hunting, gambling with his life, and he knew that what Xin Zhou said was true, and he was not deliberately lying to his mother or to scare people.

"Master Lu, please do as you please." Xin Zhou maintained his composure.

Lu Cijiu saw that Xin Zhou was having a hard time and was suppressing him, so he said, "It will be fine for a while." He couldn't speak about other people's private matters.

I took the kids off the bus, went back for a nap, and then took a walk around the area in the afternoon.

You don't have to wait until tomorrow morning for someone to come to your door.

The family of six returned to their hotel suite. Lin Xuan watched Xin Zhou get into the car alone and stopped him, saying, "Where are you going?"

"Go to Xin's house to pack your luggage."

"Hey, let me drive. I'll do it." Lin Xuan was really afraid that something might happen to Xin Zhou, so he got in the car first.

Xin Zhou said nothing, sat in the passenger seat, and lit a cigarette. Lin Xuan didn't remember Xin Zhou smoking. They had lived in the same dormitory for four years, and Xin Zhou had never smoked.

As they approached the villa, Xin Zhou looked at the neighborhood and said, "Xin Huaiping cares about his reputation and doesn't like people calling him a nouveau riche or a rough-around-the-edges guy. So he wants to learn from others about heritage. He's bought so many villas, but he still likes this one the most because it's old and dated enough."

It seems that the Xin family has a lot of background.

But in fact, Xin Huaiping made his fortune in coal mining, and later became successful in everything he did.

"In the early years, before my mother and I were brought back home, he would curse at everyone every time he got drunk at a banquet. He would curse at all the guests, those who looked down on him, called him unsophisticated, ridiculed him, and didn't give him face. He said that sooner or later he would trample on these people and make them kneel down and beg him."

"Actually, at that time, my mother hadn't become Mrs. Xin yet, and I was still the mistress's child. We had a small home. When I think back on it now, that place still has a bit of a homely feel to it."

Although his classmates at school knew that he had no father and bullied and isolated him, in that two-bedroom apartment, his mother was very gentle and would tell him stories and cook for him. If he behaved well, his father would praise him when he "came home."

At that time, he didn't know that he was an illegitimate child, the child of a mistress. He thought his father was working away from home. In his mind, his father was tall and someone he admired. A word of praise would make him excited for a long time.

Later, his mother became Mrs. Xin, and had to save face and become the magnanimous Mrs. Xin. So when Xin Hang and Xin Fan bullied him, his mother would tell him to just be patient and let them go.

His mother was so afraid of failing to perform well and being replaced by Xiao Si that she worked diligently, was virtuous, and generous. Even when her son was bullied and beaten by his two older brothers, she didn't dare to lift a finger against the child of her ex-wife. Then, after a year or two, his mother felt that her position was secure and that the two older brothers were his enemies and competitors, so she started to trip him up and use soft tactics.

Xin Zhou was a knife in his mother's hand. When he was young, his values ​​followed his mother's. He fought with his two brothers, and both sides were injured. Later, he gradually became sensible and distinguished right from wrong. He went to college in other places, and even studied abroad.

He didn't want to fight anymore, and he didn't care about the Xin Group.

"We're here." Lin Xuan said.

Xin Zhou looked at the villa and hummed, "Please wait for me in the car, I'll be out soon."

"Okay." Lin Xuan watched Xin Zhou leave, grabbed his phone and searched for the three words Xin Huaiping. There was indeed a name on the Internet, a forum, saying that Xin Huaiping, who only graduated from junior high school, was so awesome, starting from scratch and becoming successful in everything he did. Some people also said sourly that Xin Huaiping was born in a good era and caught up with the trend.

First, he made his first fortune from the coal mine. Then, during the reform and opening up, he went into business. He was bold and made money in everything he did. He also married four wives, all of whom were young and beautiful. It was said that he had many lovers and more than a dozen illegitimate children. He was truly like a local emperor in Liucheng.

When Lin Xuan saw this, he pouted and said, "What a scumbag."

When he looked up, he saw Xin Zhou standing outside the car window. He didn't know how long he had been there. Lin Xuan put away his phone awkwardly, opened the car door and said, "So soon?" He saw that Xin Zhou was holding a suitcase in his hand.

I have lived in this villa for more than 20 years, and all my personal belongings can be put into a small box.

Lin Xuan saw Fang Xiaoyun standing at the door holding her belly and shouted to the servant, "Throw away all his things. If this man comes in again, call the police. I don't want to see him again."

This was the first time Lin Xuan wanted to hit a woman.

"Where are we going now? Back to the hotel? Forget it, let's find a place to have a drink." Lin Xuan helped his buddy put away his luggage without saying anything, drove the car, and urged him, "I know a popular online bar, let's go check it out."

At this time, what bar should I go to in the afternoon?

In the end, they bought some beer and drank it in their hotel room. Lin Xuan opened a box of beer and sat on the sofa to chat with Xin Zhou, telling him not to hold it in and just say whatever he wanted to say.

Before they knew it, it was getting late. The lights in the room were off. It was a small suite with the same layout. The two of them were lying on the sofa, drunk. A wisp of black air slowly came in from the crack in the door, like a snake, quickly finding its target and slid towards Xin Zhou who was lying on the ground.

Next room.

Lu Cijiu paused while drinking water and glanced towards the next room. Gong Xichao also sensed it and said calmly, "I can walk. I'm thirsty."

Drink water if you are thirsty - Lu Cijiu saw the cup of water in his hand and naturally handed it over.

Gong Xichao took it, thinking that Lu Cijiu had just drunk it.

Then he drank the water silently, it was quite sweet.

The black energy from the next door, upon touching Xin Zhou, immediately retreated as if injured and disappeared. Lu Cijiu opened the door, and a strong evil aura filled the corridor.

Xin Zhou got into trouble twice, both times because of this evil spirit.

He pulled a talisman from his pocket, chanted a mantra, and recited a purification spell. The talisman instantly burned, and the aisle was clean and clear of evil spirits. This thing was too strong. If an ordinary person got involved, their luck would be bad. They would fall when walking, choke when eating, become confused, and everything would go wrong.

Not to mention that the person who gets entangled will be fatal and die suddenly.

"...The person behind this must have some evil weapon in his hand." Lu Cijiu said with a frown.

Gong Xichao: "I'm going to eat."

Lu Cijiu: ...Okay, it’s time for dinner, the kids are all ready.

So the family of six went to find a restaurant for dinner. Xin Zhou and Lin Xuan fell into a deep sleep. Thanks to the amulet, the evil spirit had retreated, but it would not stop there.

Time is running out.

Lu Cijiu thought of Fang Xiaoyun's belly. The bigger it got, the more unsafe it was. There was no way the baby would be born full term.

Xin family villa.

Xin Zhou's words today made Xin Hang and Xin Fan angry. Afterwards, they were scared that Fang Xiaoyun could drive away Xin Zhou and his mother with just one word, not to mention them.

The table was filled with food, both meat and vegetables.

Fang Xiaoyun complained that the food was unpalatable and she felt like vomiting after eating it. Xin Huaiping said nervously, "Is our son okay? We can't disturb the fetus. If he can't eat it, then don't eat it. Let's get a new cook."

"I'm so angry I'm full." Fang Xiaoyun touched her stomach. Seeing Xin Huaiping's anxious and concerned look, she smiled smugly and said, "I chased that kid Xin Zhou away this afternoon. He's not allowed to come in from now on."

"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say."

Fang Xiaoyun looked at the two brothers opposite him again and said irritably, "You'd better know what's best for you. If you make me unhappy, get out."

"Did you hear that?" Xin Huaiping threatened his two sons.

The eldest brother, Xin Hang, suppressed his temper and said, "I know." Hold on, hold on. Sooner or later, the Xin family will be his, and it can only be his. He has endured for so many years. When the time comes, drive Xin Huaiping away and bring his mother back. His mother will be the mistress of this house, the real mistress.

Xin Fan had similar thoughts.

After eating little, the two got up and went back to their room.

Fang Xiaoyun's noise could be heard in the living room. The TV was turned up very loud, and the phone was playing a short video. The hahaha laughter stimulated the two brothers on the second floor.

Hold on, hold on.

The noise in the living room grew louder and louder, and finally quieted down in the early morning. Xin Huaiping and Fang Xiaoyun returned to the third floor. In the middle of the night, the whole villa was silent and dark.

Xin Hang didn't eat much at night and woke up hungry. He wanted to go downstairs to find something to eat. When he reached the stairs, he heard chewing sounds coming from the living room on the first floor.

The chewing sounds became louder and louder, along with heavy breathing. I could vaguely see a shadow sitting in the living room, grabbing something with both hands and eating violently and roughly.

For some reason, Xin Hang sensed danger and did not say anything.

But he didn't know that a pair of eyes were staring at him from behind.

Xin Hang leaned sideways and saw clearly what was in the living room.

Fang Xiaoyun was carrying a big belly, holding a piece of raw meat in her hand, stained with blood. Facing a table full of food for dinner, the picky Fang Xiaoyun was now eating with gusto. Xin Hang was horrified by the sight. This scene didn't look like a pregnant woman, but a monster.

No wonder my father listens to Fang Xiaoyun and no wonder he agrees with whatever Fang Xiaoyun says.

Fang Xiaoyun is a monster, not a human.

Xin Hang's legs were trembling and he wanted to leave, but for some reason he suddenly couldn't move. He stood stiffly in place, with a cold and dangerous aura behind him. He wanted to avoid it, but he couldn't move.

Here it comes, here it comes.

Being stared at by something.

He must have been discovered by Fang Xiaoyun. Now that he was discovered, would Fang Xiaoyun eat him?

Xin Hang wanted to shout and call for help, but no sound came out. In just a moment, cold sweat broke out on his back and his face was as pale as gold paper.

The moment that thing was attached.

'Snap' the light came on.

"Brother, what are you doing standing here?" It was Xin Fan's voice behind him.

Xin Hang's legs were able to move, and he fell to the ground, grabbing Xin Fan with one hand. He wanted to say that Fang Xiaoyun was a monster and that there was something dirty in the house. Suddenly, he heard someone coming up the stairs. He turned around and saw Fang Xiaoyun, who had just eaten, coming up slowly, holding his stomach, wiping the corner of his mouth with one hand, with a satisfied look on his face.

Maybe because he was full and in a good mood, Fang Xiaoyun just glanced at Xin Hang and didn't get angry.

Xin Hang froze in place, not daring to meet Fang Xiaoyun's gaze until she made her way up to the third floor. He finally felt at ease, but soon, he felt uncomfortable, as if he were being watched and monitored. The sense of danger he'd felt just now was still there.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"I, I'm hungry and want to find something to eat. My legs are weak." Xin Hang went back to the room without thinking.

Xin Fan said, "I'm hungry too. I didn't eat much tonight. Is Gang Fang Xiaoyun eating too? Serves you right. He's pretending not to eat tonight."

When Xin Hang mentioned Fang Xiaoyun eating, he thought of the scene just now and couldn't help but feel nauseous and wanted to vomit. He held it in, and now he was suspicious and the feeling had not yet dissipated.

"Stop, stop talking. I'm not hungry. No, no, no, I'm hungry." Xin Hang originally just wanted to go back to the room and wait until dawn, but now, he didn't want to stay here for a moment.

Inexplicably, I recalled what the young master Xin Zhou had invited said in the company that afternoon.

'Scared, call Xin Zhou'.

Did the master figure it out this afternoon?

Definitely.

Xin Hang's mind came to life, and he remembered Xin Zhou's previous "suicide". It must be that Xin Zhou discovered something, and was kicked out of the villa by Fang Xiaoyun.

Immediately changed the topic: "Let's go out to eat."

"Where can we eat at midnight? Just a quick bite will do. Big bro has to go to the company tomorrow."

Go to a Hammer Company, your life is almost gone, and you still go to the company. Xin Hang wanted to curse in his heart, but that creepy and cold feeling was still there. He grabbed Xin Fan's hand and said vigorously: "Let's go out for a midnight snack, I'll treat you, let's go, I'm hungry, didn't you say you were hungry?"

He almost dragged Xin Fan down the stairs. Because his legs were weak or something, Xin Hang tripped while going down the stairs. If he hadn't held Xin Fan's hand, he would have fallen down.

"Brother, you are sick. It hurts me. Let go."

But Xin Hang didn't care and kept dragging Xin Fan. He felt that there were eyes behind him, still staring at him, as if he couldn't escape. Xin Hang was about to collapse, but fortunately, after leaving the villa, the gaze faded.

The two came out in a hurry, wearing pajamas and slippers. Xin Hang didn't bring his cell phone, but Xin Fan did. They were dragged out in the middle of the night. If the two had not joined forces before to deal with Xin Zhou and Fang Xiaoyun, Xin Fan would have turned against them long ago.

Now he looks impatient, almost calling Xin Hang a psychopath.

"Call Xin Zhou, hurry up, hurry up." Xin Hang urged.

Xin Fan cursed directly this time, "Brother, what's wrong with you? It's already late, even if you're mocking the mistress——"

"Stop talking nonsense and fight quickly. Fight if you don't want to die." Xin Hang didn't dare to say more and pulled Xin Fan along the way.

Xin Fan wanted to talk more but Xin Hang snatched the phone away. He had never been so tortured before. He hoped that Xin Hang would answer the phone, but the beeping sound kept coming from the other end. He felt a chill spreading from behind him, as if he was going to die at any moment.

Answer the phone, answer the phone.

Xin Zhou was woken up by the noise. He had a headache from drinking too much and looked at his phone slowly.

Note: Idiot 2.

"Hey, idiot, are you calling here to get scolded, idiot?"

In the past, Xin Hang would have exploded and cursed back, but now he trembled and choked with sobs: "Yes, I'm an idiot, Xin Zhou, save me, Fang Xiaoyun is... wrong."

He didn't even dare to say loudly that Fang Xiaoyun was a monster.

On the other end of the phone, Xin Zhou shuddered, "Something's wrong with Fang Xiaoyun, did you know?"

"I, I saw it."

"Wait a minute idiot."

Xin Zhou held the phone and knocked on the door next door. As soon as he raised his hand, the door opened.

"Let's go. Have you been drinking?" Lu Cijiu smelled alcohol, so he couldn't drive. He frowned and said, "Can we call a taxi this late?"

Xin Zhou: It might take time, but since I think they're two idiots, I'll ask first: "Are their lives safe?"

"Not yet." Lu Cijiu said, "If we go to pick him up, he'll be alive. If we come here by car, we'll get into an accident and one of us will be in a vegetative state and the other will die."

He was waiting for Xin Zhou to make a choice. But in fact, since Xin Zhou asked this, Lu Cijiu had already guessed what he would choose.

Before the call was hung up, the other end heard Xin Hang crying loudly: "Xin Zhou, save me, save me, I was wrong, I am an idiot, Master, save me, save me..."
