"Is it that serious?" Xiao Chen laughed: "I'm timid, please don't scare me."
"Xiao Chen, I'm not kidding you." Xiao Wanli paused and said, "Your situation is very dangerous. I've received news that Sun Zhende has hired kidnappers and they're looking for you everywhere."
"Since you know, you should call the police for me. We live in a society ruled by law now." Xiao Chen said innocently, "Master Xiao, we are acquaintances after all."
"You can't just sit there and watch that old bastard from the Sun family hire some kidnappers to kidnap me, right?"
"Haha, Xiao Chen, don't you think it's a bit naive to say these things?" Xiao Wanli sneered.
"You think the law is omnipotent, but I tell you, these laws are only used to restrain ordinary people."
"For a family of Sun's stature, secular rules are no longer able to constrain them."
"Is it really that powerful?" Xiao Chen pretended to be surprised. He humbly asked for advice: "Then Master Xiao, please show me a way. Tell me what I should do?"
"The only one who can save you now is the Xiao family." There was a hint of unconcealable pride in Xiao Wanli's tone.
"As long as you are willing to rely on the Xiao family, the Xiao family will definitely protect you. The Sun family alone can't do anything to you."
"Well, what are your conditions?" Xiao Chen asked.
"The condition is that if you agree to my previous request to invest, I will give you every penny in exchange for corresponding shares," said Xiao Wanli.
"Anything else?" Xiao Chen asked, "Your request isn't limited to just this, right?"
"Also, I want to have the final say in your company. Any decision made by your company requires my approval."
Xiao Wanli added, "Xiao Chen, your current situation is extremely dangerous. No one can protect you except the Xiao family."
"Oh, now that you mention it, I'm really at my wit's end, right?" Xiao Chen sighed and said helplessly, "Mr. Xiao, you can't just stand by and watch me die."
"Don't worry, if I didn't want to help you, I wouldn't make this call." Xiao Wanli laughed. He felt that Xiao Chen was completely under his control at this moment.
"As long as you agree to my request, everything will be fine."
"Xiao Wanli, can you please have some shame?" Wen Wan on the side couldn't help it anymore.
"Who is talking? Xiao Chen, where are you?" Xiao Wanli's tone suddenly changed.
"Xiao Chen is with his aunt, what's wrong?" Wen Wan grabbed the phone and cursed, "Xiao Wanli, are you still a human being?"
"Do you still understand what shame is? You are a profit-seeking person. I think the Xiao family will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later."
"Wen Wan, this is a matter between me and Xiao Chen, it has nothing to do with you." Xiao Wanli growled.
"Why is it none of my business? He is his aunt. Besides, even if Xiao Chen has nothing, our Wen Clan will protect him."
Wen Wan sneered: "So go and have fun by yourself. Bye, don't call me again."
Bang... The phone was hung up, and Wen Wan blocked Xiao Wanli's number.
After doing all this, she let out a long sigh: "What the hell."
"Auntie, you're being quite rude." Xiao Chen smiled and said, "There aren't many people in this world who dare to speak to Xiao Wanli like this, right?"
"I don't care whether it's the Xiao family or not. Anyway, I've already torn my face with Xiao Wanli a long time ago." Wen Wan's anger was still there: "What a joke."
"If this old man hadn't been so greedy, my sister's child wouldn't have been lost..."
"I rarely hear you mention Aunt Wen. What happened to the child she lost?" Xiao Chen's heart moved, and he asked curiously.
"Well..." Wen Wan coughed twice: "It happened too long ago, it's better not to mention it."
She thought about it and felt that she should reveal something to Xiao Chen: "My brother-in-law, Xiao Gucheng, has been fighting abroad for many years."
"It can be said that most of the Xiao family's glory was earned by his military exploits."
"Without Xiao Gucheng, there would be no Xiao family, and he also made many enemies because of this."
"When my sister's baby was less than a month old, Xiao Wanli asked Xiao Gucheng to solve a spy case abroad."
"Xiao Gucheng was gone for several months, and it was during this time that the child was targeted and abandoned."
"So, if Xiao Wanli hadn't asked Aunt Wen's husband to carry out the mission, the child wouldn't have been lost?" Xiao Chen showed a thoughtful expression.
"Of course not. Who is Xiao Gucheng? He's the living devil. If he were in Yanjing, who would dare to steal a child?"
Wen Wan said indignantly: "I don't know what Xiao Gucheng is after. He is Xiao Wanli's illegitimate son."
"Xiao Wanli has always looked down on him. I don't know why he risked his life for the Xiao family."
"Maybe... I want recognition too much." Xiao Chen looked a little sad.
How similar is Xiao Gucheng's experience to his previous life?
In my previous life, I always wanted to be recognized by my family, so I worked and socialized very hard.
But what did we get in return?
"Recognition? Xiao Wanli has never acknowledged Xiao Gucheng's identity in public." Wen Wan was indignant.
"If you ask me, my sister shouldn't have gotten together with Xiao Gucheng in the first place..."
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly, and the photo he saw at the military base appeared in front of his eyes.
That man should be a man of steel but tenderness, right?
He should be a man who loves his wife and son very much, but unfortunately... because he wanted recognition too much, his wife and son left him.
He must be regretting it, right? If he could be given another chance to choose, he probably wouldn't let all this happen...
Unfortunately, not everyone has the opportunity to start over like me.
At the Xiao family, Xiao Wanli smashed his cell phone to pieces in anger.
Just at this moment, Xiao Yuecheng walked in from outside. Seeing the scene in front of him, he was a little stunned.
Then he picked up the broken phone and put it on Xiao Wanli's desk.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
"Now there is a great opportunity to recruit Xiao Chen, but..." Xiao Wanli gritted his teeth and said, "The Wen family has already taken the lead."
"Dad, you probably don't know that Xiao Chen and the Wen family have always had a good relationship." Xiao Yuecheng sighed.
"That old fellow surnamed Wen is despicable..." Xiao Wanli's eyes were red: "But no matter what, Xiao Chen is my grandson."
"He should go back to the Xiao family."
"Then can you give Xiao Chen a decent identity and welcome him back to the Xiao family? If so, I will tell him the truth now." Xiao Yuecheng said in a deep voice.
"He didn't grow up in the Xiao family. Although he has enough abilities, no one knows whether he has the bad habits of ordinary people?" Xiao Wanli frowned.
Xiao Yuecheng was really speechless. He sighed and said, "Dad, things have come to this point."
"Xiao Chen's ability and character are absolutely impeccable. He deserves the status of a descendant of the Xiao family."
"So why can't you accept him?"
