Shen Lang finally completed the last transaction at 5 a.m.
With 138 experience points and trading coins earned, the system was upgraded to level five.
After finishing his work, Shen Lang took off his cloak and mask, stood up, and stretched.
"Master, Master, look at me!" With the system upgrade, the little sprite's size also increased considerably. It happily flew out of the system and floated around in front of Shen Lang.
Shen Lang grabbed the little sprite, hoisted her onto his shoulder, and affectionately patted her head: "Off work, let's go home!"
"Yay!" The little elf sat on Shen Lang's shoulder and happily made a peace sign. Its two little legs swung merrily in the air, and its little wings fluttered behind it. It was extremely cute.
Xia Bingyan also returned to Baiyun Manor with Shen Lang.
After returning home, Shen Lang snuggled into Xia Bingyan's bed and, before falling asleep, gave her a special treat for the day.
The next morning, Xia Bingyan bid farewell to Yu Xian'er, the mistress of the harem, and hurriedly returned to Canglang Group.
A large group cannot start without the leadership of its leader, just as a growing child cannot grow without the guidance of its parents.
After Xia Bingyan left, three generations of the Yu family also left X City.
The only misfortune was that yesterday, when Yu Ziqi went out to play, he lost two hundred yuan in a race with Xu Zhenzhen, the young master of the Xu family. Unwilling to accept defeat, Yu Ziqi drove Shen Lang's McLaren Sanna-GtR and crashed directly into Xu Zhenzhen's Bugatti Veyron, causing both supercars worth tens of millions to be totaled on the spot. Xu Zhenzhen was so frightened that she lost control of her bladder on the spot.
After a night of investigation, Xu Tianying, the head of the Xu family, followed the clues from the car and found Shen Lang.
Originally intending to take people to confront Shen Lang, they were stopped at their doorstep by Sun Minghui, the newly appointed police chief of S Province.
It is unclear what Sun Minghui said to Xu Tianying, but Xu Tianying, who was originally furious and wanted to avenge his son, changed his attitude when he went out again. After respectfully seeing Sun Minghui off, he turned around and slapped the still-shaken Xu Zhenzhen.
"You unfilial son, how dare you beat him? Do you even know who he is?" Xu Tianying roared at Xu Zhenzhen.
Xu Zhenzhen covered her swollen cheek and said aggrievedly, "Dad, I don't know who he is either. I was playing with my friends on the track when that guy drove out in a McLaren and gave me the middle finger. If I didn't race him, I would have brought shame to the Xu family."
Then Xu Zhenzhen lowered her head and stammered, "I thought that kid was a master, but who knew he was a complete noob. He's bad at the game but has a huge addiction to fighting it, and his temper is even worse than his addiction."
"Sigh." Xu Tianying sighed. He knew it wasn't his son's fault. "Zhenzhen, we may have offended someone we shouldn't have. You should apologize to them. I will take you to apologize to them."
"What? Apologize with thorns on my back? Dad, are you getting senile?" Xu Zhenzhen looked at Xu Tianying in disbelief: "He hit me, and your son was almost killed. You still want me to apologize to him? Apologize with thorns on my back?"
Seeing Xu Zhenzhen's defiant expression, Xu Tianying said earnestly, "Son, you need to know that there are many people in this world we can't afford to offend."
“A single misstep could lead to utter destruction. The Zhang and Liu families serve as cautionary tales.” Xu Tianying patted Xu Zhenzhen on the shoulder: “Don’t let the legacy passed down through our ancestors for thousands of years be destroyed in our hands.”
Upon hearing Xu Tianying's words, Xu Zhenzhen realized just how serious this matter was for the Xu family.
The Zhang and Liu families, once among the three major powers in X City alongside the Xu family, were roughly equal in strength to the Xu family. However, just one month ago, they were all wiped out overnight.
He originally thought the matter was handled by the imperial court, but after hearing what his father said today, he realized that the matter might not be as simple as he thought.
If the Xu family were truly in their hands, then four generations of them would have no face to meet the ancestors of the Xu family for eighteen generations.
"Father, I understand." Xu Zhenzhen was no longer willful. Anyone who could be listed as the heir by a family with a thousand-year-old heritage was certainly not a fool.
"It's good that you understand the bigger picture; I'm proud of you, Father." Xu Tianying looked at Xu Zhenzhen with satisfaction and praised her, "Being able to bend and stretch is the mark of a true man."
Then Xu Tianying gave a wink to the steward beside her, who quickly took out a bundle of thorns from the yard.
Seeing this, Xu Zhenzhen was about to take off her top, but Xu Tianying stopped her.
"Fool, it's not too late to carry the thorns when we get outside Baiyun Manor."
He then led the butler and Xu Zhenzhen into a custom Rolls-Royce and drove towards Baiyun Villa.
Shen Lang had just woken up when he learned that Yu Tianxing and his two grandsons had left. He hurriedly made a video call to Yu Tianxing.
"My dear son-in-law, are you awake?" It was Yu Shizhong, with his ever-smiling face, who answered the phone.
Shen Lang chuckled awkwardly, "Father-in-law, I worked too late last night."
"Yes, we know you're busy, so we didn't want to bother you." Yu Shizhong smiled and said, "We've already returned to the capital. When you have time, bring Xian'er back to visit. The elders in the family also want to meet you."
"Alright! Take good care of yourself then," Shen Lang said with a simple smile.
At this moment, Yu Ziqi's big head squeezed into the screen: "Brother-in-law, I crashed your McLaren and Zhang Chengyang airlifted it back to the UK factory for repairs overnight."
"What?!" Shen Lang's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. Although the McLaren had been replaced by the Apollo, it was his first car. Shen Lang was instantly consumed by rage and roared, "Yu Ziqi, do you want to die?"
Seeing Shen Lang's fury, Yu Ziqi shrank back and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. I've had a custom-made Bugatti Veyron made for you overnight at the Bugatti factory in Germany. It will be delivered to your doorstep soon."
"That's all, brother-in-law, we have something to do, we're hanging up now!"
After finishing speaking, Yu Ziqi hung up the phone impatiently.
"That bastard!" Shen Lang couldn't help but curse, which made Yu Xian'er cover her mouth and chuckle.
"Still dare to laugh? Watch out for the family rules!" With that, Shen Lang angrily pounced on Yu Xian'er, knocking her down on the bed and taking the opportunity to assault her with both hands.
"My lord, I was wrong! I'll stop laughing! Hahaha~ My lord~"
"Stop tickling me, my husband~ Hahahaha~"
Shuang'er then carried a basin of warm water into the room, her eyes gleaming with dark circles. She said listlessly, "Young Master, it's time to wash up."
Seeing Shuang'er come in, Yu Xian'er suppressed a laugh and patted Shen Lang on the back: "Husband, stop fooling around!"
Shen Lang stood up and said to Shuang'er who had just entered, "Little maid, you really know how to pick your time. Didn't you see your young master and young lady discussing important matters of life?"
However, when he saw Shuang'er's two big dark circles, he quickly ran to her side and asked, "Little girl, what did you do last night? Why are your dark circles so bad? Did you go out and cheat on me?"
