The man was none other than Xiao Yanmin, the second son of the Xiao family. He sat in his seat with his legs crossed, looking like a king who was high above everyone else, so much so that people standing in front of him did not dare to look up.
In the room that was neither too big nor too small, the people standing there were so scared that they were covered in cold sweats. One of them had his legs shaking constantly and he kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. He was particularly afraid that he would be strangled to death.
They were completely unable to complete the orders and tasks issued by Xiao Yanmin. After all, they had no idea how such a big living person could disappear from everyone's sight. It was as if they had dug up the entire China but still couldn't find any clues. They thought it was useless.
"Waste!" Xiao Yanmin's expression turned grim. He held one envelope after another that failed to complete the instructions in his hand and crumpled them into balls in his hands.
His gloomy face seemed covered with a thick layer of cold frost, which made people feel terrified and dared not look up to see his expression.
The man swallowed his saliva and said, "We have tried to find the Second Young Master, but he seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth. We really can't find him no matter how hard we look..."
Xiao Yanmin sneered, and the moment he raised his head, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, scaring the person who spoke. "If you can't find it, you won't try harder to find it. Do you think that just because you can't find it, you'll just let it go? Don't forget that I have raised you for so long, just for you to serve me. Now it's your turn, and you can't even solve a shitty problem for me. Do you still expect me to support you?"
Every word Xiao Yanmin said made those people feel ashamed, because what the Second Young Master said was absolutely right. They took the Second Young Master's money and ate his food, but couldn't even do a single small thing properly.
"Second Young Master, there's no need to be so angry. After all, our ability is limited. This is a huge country! We can't just find it and then we can find it."
The originally depressing atmosphere was completely changed in an instant because of a man's voice. The man who walked in looked at least 1.8 meters tall. He was wearing a royal green suit, neatly dressed, with a pair of leather shoes on his feet, his hair was combed very shiny, his thick black eyebrows were slightly raised, and his lips were thick, so when he curled the corners of his mouth, it seemed a bit deliberate.
A man named Tong Junguo walked in and gave his men a look, and they ran away immediately after seeing him.
Xiao Yanmin clenched the teacup in his hand, slowly tightening his grip as if he was about to crush the cup.
Tong Junguo, on the other hand, looked relaxed. "I knew there must be something wrong with Xiao Jinchu, otherwise how could he disappear for so long?" Xiao Yanmin found that Xiao Jinchu was really capable. He could disappear without a trace in such a large place, making it impossible for them to find him.
Tong Junguo smiled and answered him: "What about Madam Xiao? Has she not made any moves recently?"
When talking about Bai Zhishu, who was at least his stepmother, Xiao Yanmin showed no respect for her at all. He just said sarcastically, "That woman? Haha... How dare she do anything to me? On the contrary, Xiao Jinchu is really too bold to leave his mother here alone to fight against me."
Although Bai Zhishu is just a woman, she should not be underestimated. Otherwise, how could she secure the position of the general's wife with such a clean background? It was because she had a lot of conspiracies and tricks.
When talking about Bai Zhishu, the coldness in Xiao Yanmin's eyes became more obvious. If it weren't for her, her mother wouldn't have come all the way to find Xiao Nanfang, and she wouldn't have been killed. So his mother was indirectly killed by Bai Zhishu.
Xiao Yanmin's hatred for Bai Zhishu was deeply engraved in his bones.
Ever since Bai Zhishu gave birth to the first eldest son of the Xiao family, she has been promoted to such a good position because of her son. Xiao Jinchu has also lived up to everyone's expectations. He has always had excellent grades since he was a child, and he has become a leader at such a young age. It can be seen how much energy and thought Xiao Nanfang has invested in him.
The Xiao family actually made their fortune through business in their early years. Later, in order to make the business better, they let Xiao Nanfang go to Congjun. Facts have proved that their family is indeed very development-minded, because after cooperating with them, the business is indeed getting bigger and bigger. Now their Xiao family is very famous in China.
Now that Xiao Nanfang has retired, he is slowly looking to sell off the family business, so he must work hard to transfer the Xiao family's property before Xiao Jinchu. Otherwise, once the mother and son inherit the Xiao family's legacy, he will definitely have no room to survive.
How could Tong Junguo not understand Xiao Yanmin's thoughts? Xiao Yanmin had not relied on any of his mother's qualifications in the past few years. He had developed all by himself. It was not easy for him to reach this point. Xiao Jinchu's efforts in one year were equivalent to his efforts in ten years, just because Xiao Jinchu was born to the Xiao family's main wife.
Originally, Xiao Jinchu was going to marry the daughter of the Yan family, and he was just a little scared, so he rushed back at this special time. Unexpectedly, he learned the news that Xiao Jinchu was framed, so he hurried to marry the daughter of the Yan family at this time.
Fortunately, Yan Qingxue was really afraid that Xiao Jinchu would become paralyzed, so she did not marry him and married herself instead. This was originally a very good thing for Xiao Yanmin and also the best opportunity. However, after he married Yan Qingxue, he found that everything was not as simple as he imagined.
Because Yan Zhenhua, that old fox, slowly showed his true colors after he married Yan Qingxue.
Originally, Xiao Yanmin wanted to take advantage of the time when Xiao Jinchu disappeared to find out his location and then kill him secretly, but he could not find his true whereabouts.
During this period, Song Yan would also run back to the city, and he also sent people to follow him, but this man was too cunning. He knew that he would send people to follow him, and he deliberately released smoke bombs along the way! Xiao Jinchu was too hateful, and he played him around.
Seeing his master's solemn expression, Tong Junguo sat aside and comforted him with a smile: "Second Young Master, you don't have to be so anxious. Don't you find that Jiangjun has been very good to you during this period? He asked you to do everything by yourself, which is equivalent to giving them and their son a heavy blow."
Xiao Yanmin felt a little better after hearing what Tong Junguo said. Xiao Nanfang did think highly of him during this period, but he never handed the real power to him. Maybe in his heart, Xiao Jinchu was his eldest son.
