"Brother Xiao, I have already informed the hotel. Let's have lunch together. It can be regarded as a celebration for you."

Just as Xiao Chen and Bai Ye were chatting nonsense, Lin Nan came over and said.

"OK."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"Today's lunch is mine!"

"Why, do you look down on Brother Lin? Although your Brother Lin is not as rich as you, he can still afford a meal!"

Lin Nan looked at Xiao Chen and said.

"Of course that's not what I mean. Okay, then today's lunch will be Lin Ge's, okay?"

Xiao Chen smiled and said.

"That's more like it."

Lin Nan nodded with satisfaction and went to greet Mr. Bai and others.

"Brother Chen, this is like a pie falling on your head, right?"

Bai Ye looked at Lin Nan's back, took out a cigarette and handed one to Xiao Chen.

"Well, I'm a little confused now."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"Why did you want to disband the Xiao family just now? I was so anxious... No matter if it's a mess or not, since there's a pie in the sky, let's take a bite first!"

Bai Ye lit a cigarette and said.

Listening to Bai Ye's words and thinking about what he had just said, Xiao Chen became angry.

"What did you say just now? Damn it, you are the stupid one? You are just a little brat, what do you know? This may not be a pie in the sky, but a trap!"

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

Bai Ye was stunned.

Xiao Chen looked around, lowered his voice, and repeated his guess.

"Ah? You mean, that person wanted to tie you up in Longhai?"

Bai Ye was shocked.

"Yes, after establishing the Xiao family, can I still be as free as before? Definitely not!"

Xiao Chen nodded.

"It doesn't really matter. It's good for you to stay in Longhai. We two brothers can be together all day long..."

White night doesn't matter.

"How about you little brat!"

Xiao Chen rolled his eyes.

"My goal is the sea of stars, not the sea of dragons... Do you understand?"

"Okay, okay, the stars and the sea, but now that person insists that you establish the Xiao family, what can you do?"

"What can we do? Just build it!"

"That's right. I'm not going to chop off your head. Don't act like you're unwilling to do it. It's like you're just being ungrateful."

"Get lost! And what nonsense did you just talk about? I don't have so many women!"

Xiao Chen was annoyed.

"You don't have any?"

Bai Ye asked back.

"Fuck, even if I did, I can't say it here? What kind of occasion is this? Such a serious meeting, is it appropriate to discuss my personal life?"

Xiao Chen wanted to beat this guy up.

"Haha, are you afraid that Sister Qing will hear it? I noticed it just now, and Sister Qing didn't react much. She probably doesn't care... Besides, how could Sister Qing not know about your women? She usually doesn't say anything."

Bai Ye smiled and said.

"Get lost, what are you talking about!"

Xiao Chen slammed his head and didn't bother to pay attention to this guy anymore.

"By the way, please help Huazi keep an eye on the Qin family."

"I see."

Bai Ye covered his head, looked at Qin Jianhua who was on the phone in the distance, and nodded.

"That old man Qin Kunlun is really capable of making trouble. He can't sit still."

"The wheel of time is moving forward, and he has no right to mess around..."

Xiao Chen sneered.

"After today, you will see that the Longhai forces will enter a new era."

"Hmm? Like?"

“The era of our youth.”

Xiao Chen looked at Mr. Bai and the others and spoke slowly.

"Well... my father also said this. The Bai family plans to hand it over to me in the future."

Bai Ye nodded.

"Haha, congratulations. From now on, I can't call you Mr. Bai anymore. I have to call you Patriarch Bai."

Xiao Chen looked at Bai Ye and smiled.

"No, I refused."

Bai Ye shook his head.

"Hmm? Why?"

Xiao Chen was surprised.

"My father wants to be lazy, so I won't give him this opportunity... He is in his prime, not old and unable to take care of things... Why should I suffer the hardship of taking care of the Bai family while he can go out and pick up girls? I won't do this hard job!"

Bai Ye shook his head.

"What? Picking up girls?"

Xiao Chen was stunned.

"Yeah, this guy has a lot of women out there. He thinks I don't know, but I know it all!"

Bai Ye nodded.

"Three female celebrities have become very popular recently. Did you know that? Two of them are related to my father... Damn it, I was still thinking about them, but when I asked someone to investigate, I found out that my father had already taken action!"

After talking about this, Bai Ye felt a little depressed.

“…”

Listening to Bai Ye's words, Xiao Chen glanced at Bai Wei in the distance and was speechless.

My goodness, these two guys are really bad guys!

"Brother Chen, you know what? In order to prevent any trouble, if I want to pick up a girl now, I have to investigate first and make sure she has no relationship with him before I can do it... Otherwise, what will happen? Right? He is so busy all day, and he still has time to pick up girls. If I let him have free time, what will happen? I will have no girls to pick up in the future!"

Bai Ye said angrily.

"So, I will never do this job as the head of the family. I want to continue to be the devil of the world... and I have my own plans."

"What are you going to do?"

Xiao Chen was curious.

"Brother Chen, didn't you tell me that the world outside is huge? So, I want to go see it. I can't be trapped in Longhai and be a frog in a well, right?"

Bai Ye said seriously.

"Well, that's a good idea. Walk around more and see more. That's great."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"Yes, it's a beautiful world with so many beauties..."

"No, wait a minute... What a wonderful world with so many beauties? What were you doing when you went out?"

Xiao Chen interrupted Bai Ye.

"Well, it's a great experience, and I can pick up some new beauties at the same time... Outside, I don't have to worry about whether this beauty is related to Lao Bai!"

“…”

Xiao Chen was speechless.

As time went by, the news spread.

The new structure of the seven major families spread among the top circles in Longhai in the shortest possible time.

The Jiang family is finished!

This news surprised many people. A superpower, is it over just like that?

Some of the forces affiliated with the Jiang family were also worried and panicked, not knowing what would be waiting for them.

The Xiao family was established!

This news also shocked a group of people.

Xiao family?

Where did this Xiao family come from?

Why have I never heard of the Xiao family before?

However, some people still made speculations. Could it be the Xiao Ba clan?

Before they could finish their guessing, more accurate news came out.

The new leader of the Xiao family is Xiao Chen!

One person can support a clan. This was just a saying in the past, but it is no longer the case in the future.

This is officially recognized!

Whether they are willing to admit it or not, the Xiao family has a place among the seven major families of Longhai!

For a moment, Longhai’s top circles were in an uproar!

Many people responded quickly.

The Xiao family had just been established, so would they have a chance to get closer?

Therefore, they all looked for Xiao Chen's contact information, preparing to build a closer relationship with this upstart from Longhai.

In a teahouse, on the second floor, in a single room.

Xue Zhanhu and Luo Shijie sat opposite each other and drank tea.

The two people's cell phones rang almost at the same time.

"It seems that there is a result."

The two looked at each other, smiled, and answered the phone.

Neither of them attended today's five-year conference.

Because it has nothing to do with them.

At the last nomination meeting, they just went there for a cameo appearance.

Today... Lin Nan greeted them, but they both found reasons to decline.

The underground world and Longhai's top circles are inextricably linked, but the two also know that it is rare for the underground world to be stable nowadays, so it is better not to get involved in other things.

So, the two of them made an appointment to come over for tea and wait for news.

When the two of them finished answering the phone, they both looked a little surprised.

Then, an inexplicable smile appeared again.

"Did you receive the message?"

Xue Zhanhu put away his phone and looked at Luo Shijie.

"Well, the Xiao family, haha, quite interesting."

Luo Shijie smiled.

“It’s really unexpected.”

"I didn't expect that either, but... this is enough to show that he is very popular with the higher-ups."

Xue Zhanhu nodded and said.

"Otherwise, with such a huge benefit that was finally taken back, how could they be willing to give it back again?"

"Um."

Luo Shijie agreed with Xue Zhanhu's words.

"So, the higher-ups should also turn a blind eye to the alliance between the Qing Gang, Hongmen, and Longmen... As long as he's around, they won't take any action."

"That's right."

Xue Zhanhu nodded. This was what they cared about most!

They have always been worried that with Ling as the supreme leader, the underground world of Longhai would not be a monolithic entity, but it would be close to that.

This is the last thing those in power want to see.

Now, they feel relieved.

"Okay, don't drink this tea. Find a time to make an appointment with Xiao Chen."

Xue Zhanhu put down the teacup.

"By the way, Lao Luo, you don't plan to retire, do you?"

“I have this idea.”

Luo Shijie nodded.

"Why, it's not working now?"

Xue Zhanhu raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I told you to take it easy when you were young, but look at your age, and you're already weak. Are you going to retire?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Are you jealous of me?"

Luo Shijie chuckled.

"Why should I envy you? Your son Luo Changkong is good, but my son Xue Fei is not bad either... well, he just lacks some experience."

Xue Zhanhu glared.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I've talked to Changkong, and he doesn't want to take over Hongmen for the time being... So, even if I want to retire, I can't. I have to hold on for a few more years."

Luo Shijie shook his head and said.

"Haha, that's right, young people need more experience."

Xue Zhanhu smiled.

"However, the seven major families may have to undergo a transition from old to new. The Qin family and the Su family are already controlled by young people, and the Bai family will probably be in charge soon..."

"We don't care about their business. Let's go. We've been drinking tea all morning. It's time to go eat something."

Luo Shijie said this and stood up.

"Oh, by the way, Old Xue, my people captured a few members of the Blood Hand Gang yesterday... The Blood Hand Gang is still determined to land in Longhai, should we do something?"

"Oh? Haha, it's been years since I've seen a fierce dragon crossing the river. What do you think?"

Xue Zhanhu looked at Luo Shijie and asked.

"Haha, that's what I meant too. Let's prepare ourselves."

Luo Shijie nodded, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
