As a member of a powerful family, Xing Zhicheng knew better than anyone the methods they used. Those methods were beyond the realm of humanity. A member of a powerful family who smelled profit was no different from a beast that smelled blood and saw a big piece of fat meat.
Unfortunately...
As the days went by and Xing Zhicheng grew older, he suddenly noticed that his subordinates were looking at him in a strange way.
Coupled with the oppressive atmosphere hidden beneath the calm, Xing Zhicheng was constantly filled with fear as he walked through the Xing family compound.
They feared that this tranquility would be shattered and replaced by terrifying thunder.
The throne, once held high above, is now teetering on the brink of collapse. Xing Zhicheng, sitting atop it, is forced to consider whether he should continue to sit there. If he is overthrown, he will face a fate far worse than that of an ordinary person.
Once you've enjoyed the thrill of being at the top, falling back down is worse than death.
Therefore, driven to desperation, Xing Zhicheng had no choice but to take a risky gamble.
Having accepted this stinking, awful task, Xing Zhicheng appeared confident on the surface, but in reality, even the head of the Xing family didn't believe the task was feasible.
After all, there are too many variables.
Moreover, Xing Zhicheng didn't bring the elite action team from within the Xing family; among the three action teams he brought, there was even a bottom-ranked member.
Many people within the Xing family were already prepared to come and see Xing Zhicheng make a fool of himself when the time came.
But all these consequences vanished the moment Xia Che admitted it himself.
—He really found the last remaining member of the Xia family in China!
Although words are not enough, as long as Xia Che admits it, Xing Zhicheng has plenty of ways to investigate afterward to find out whether the other party is really the eldest son of the Xia family.
Having hope is better than running around aimlessly like a headless fly, isn't it?
"Don't be too happy yet. Although you caught me, you'd better not ask about that incident from back then."
Xia Che noticed the joy in Xing Zhicheng's eyes, secretly calculating the time in his mind, and frowned.
no……
It's still too early; we need to wait a little longer.
"You may not know this... but I'm more curious than anyone else in the world, and I've suffered a lot because of it."
Xing Zhicheng vaguely felt that if he could find out the real reason why the Xia family escaped, then this mission would be more than half completed.
At that time, the Xing family and the Xia family were of similar status. Since this catastrophe could directly take away the Xia family, it was logical that it could also threaten the Xing family.
If we report this to the head of the family...
Xing Zhicheng's eyes gleamed; this was undoubtedly a great achievement.
In addition, the successful capture of the eldest son of the Xia family adds up to two achievements...
Xing Zhicheng's breathing became heavy.
The look in her eyes as she gazed at Xia Che became even more intense.
"If I told you... the price behind this truth is very heavy, so heavy that even the current head of the Xing family couldn't bear it, let alone you, would you believe me or not?"
Xia Che remained calm, feeling a slight sense of relief.
He knew that since Xing Zhicheng was interested in his topic, it proved that...
You have successfully lured the other party into a trap.
As long as we can stall for time, we have a glimmer of hope.
Even if the hope is slim, it still exists!
It's much better than having it completely extinguished.
"...I believe you."
Contrary to Xia Che's expectations, Xing Zhicheng hesitated for a moment before decisively nodding and acknowledging this less-than-honorable fact.
The person behind the destruction of the entire Xia family must be someone not to be trifled with.
If the Xia family could be destroyed, why can't the Xing family be destroyed?
Upon closer reflection, Xing Zhicheng felt as if a cold, venomous snake had crawled up his back, and he felt a chill run through his heart.
He got a little too cocky.
Is capturing Xia Che not enough? Do they want to get more information?
Trying to do too much at once can lead to failure...
"Thanks for reminding me, but I don't want to know anymore. Although I caught you, I still owe you a favor."
Xing Zhicheng let out a deep breath, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Xia Che, and said earnestly.
His expression was serious and earnest, and every word he spoke came from the bottom of his heart.
"……ah?"
Xia Che was stunned, speechless.
no……
You really believe that?
What if I'm just bluffing?
As the third master of the Xing family, how could you so easily believe your own words?
you……
Are you an idiot?
Ask quickly!
Xia Che was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.
He had already prepared his lies, just waiting for Xing Zhicheng to speak so he could give him a good talking-to and stall for time.
I never expected this person to be so cautious!
I was just going through the motions; after all, isn't that how interrogations in movies and TV shows always start?
The consequences are so severe, it would be like the sky is falling if anyone found out...
Even villains in movies and TV shows ask that question!
They are not afraid of these threats at all. You, the dignified Third Master of the Xing family, are you afraid?
"I did get a little carried away just now, wanting to get more, but I forgot that the more you know, the more danger you face... Take him away, I won't ask any more questions. After taking him back, immediately notify headquarters. Once they arrive, they'll know whether Xia Che is truly the eldest son of the Xia family."
Xing Zhicheng took a deep breath; the feeling of pulling back from the brink of disaster brought him back to his senses.
Just one step away...
He was about to lead the entire Xing family into an abyss of no return.
At that point, it would likely bring utter destruction to the Xing family.
If the Xing family is gone, what's the point of me trying to climb up the social ladder?
It's become a complete joke...
"No... are you sick?"
Xia Che was even more confused. Seeing that the men in black were about to handcuff him and take him away, Xia Che blinked, but in the end, he couldn't help but curse out.
Damn it...
There are actually villains who can be scared?
With such a cowardly attitude, what have you even accomplished out here?
You're already out in the world, why are you still so timid? Do you know you'll get chopped with a watermelon knife if you keep acting like this?
"The enemy's honest advice is the hardest to hear. Thank you. If it weren't for your advice, I might have really been in big trouble, and it would have even implicated the Xing family... I would have been really out of my mind then."
Xing Zhicheng shook his head, then turned and went to the back of the car.
Although the headlights were blinding just now, I could still see a blurry figure. Now, I can't even see a figure.
"Xia Che... I know you've been observing me, wanting to see my true face. Don't be impatient, let's talk properly when we get back, then you'll know who I am."
Xing Zhicheng's indifferent words came from the back of the car, making Xia Che purse his lips in annoyance.
whispering sound……
Was it discovered long ago?
No wonder he'd been hiding to the side...
