When Xu Yongqing arrived at the Jinxiu Haoting property reception room with his sister, he saw a man who looked about two years younger than Xiong Zhong sitting at the head of the reception room.
Behind him stood dozens of his underlings, some in their teens and early twenties, looking quite imposing.
Who else could this be but Zhang Xiaowu?
This person was not only slightly younger than Xiong Zhong, but also had a more suitable build. Although he was about the same height as Xiong Zhong, he seemed to be more popular with girls compared to Xiong Zhong, who was heavily pregnant.
After Xu Yongqing and the Xiong siblings personally and respectfully poured tea and offered cigarettes to their sworn brother, he then, at Xiong Zhong's prompting, led his sister to respectfully greet Zhang Xiaowu.
"Fifth Brother, my name is Xu Yongqing, and this is my sister Xu Qiong. We have long admired your name, and after being introduced by Brother Xiong, we have come here today to pay our respects!"
As he spoke, Xu Yongqing gently pushed his beautifully dressed younger sister in front of Zhang Xiaowu.
"This kid knows how to talk!"
Standing to the side, bowing and scraping, Xiong Zhong was quite pleased with Xu Yongqing's actions when he heard Xu mention his name to Fifth Brother.
If this kid's sister really takes good care of Fifth Brother, wouldn't Fifth Brother have a better impression of him since she introduced him?
Xu Qiong was already at the prime of her youth, and today she had dressed up with a touch of cunning.
The moment she appeared in the reception room, she drew everyone's attention to her.
For Zhang Xiaowu, he held the highest position in this reception room. It was obvious that this woman, whose appearance and figure were very much to his liking, was prepared for him, Zhang Xiaowu.
Xu Qiong is also someone who knows how to act weak in front of men.
Taking advantage of her brother's push, she pretended to lose her balance and was about to fall towards Zhang Xiaowu.
Seeing that she was about to fall to the ground, Xu Qiong pretended to be a little scared and closed her eyes tightly.
Before she could even fall to the ground, a pair of large hands gently pulled her into someone's arms.
"Fifth Brother, you're so mean!"
Feeling a large hand groping her body, Xu Qiong was secretly delighted, but she gave the person a reproachful look on her face.
Feeling the soft, boneless woman in his arms, Zhang Xiaowu almost lost control in front of so many people.
Xiong Zhong was a shrewd man; he quickly instructed his subordinate Wang Cai to take Zhang Xiaowu's group of underlings to another place for tea, leaving the space here for the two of them.
"Honey, you go home first, I'll come find you when I'm done with my work!"
An hour later, Zhang Xiaowu, having finished his business, patted the woman's face beneath him, then got up with a satisfied look and straightened his clothes.
Watching the man in front of her open the door and walk out, Xu Qiong, who had finally gotten her wish, endured her aching body, barely managed to straighten her torn clothes, and forced herself to leave the house, suppressing her joy.
"Xiao Qiong, we're a couple now. You'll be living the good life from now on!"
As soon as Xu Qiong stepped outside, she saw Xu Yongqing waiting excitedly at the door.
Hearing her brother's words, she felt even more smug.
Previously, everyone said that Liu Xingyue was the luckiest and most blessed girl to have found Xiong Zhong as her backer.
Hmph, from now on, she, Liu Xingyue, isn't even worthy of carrying my shoes!
Xu Qiong, humming a song, followed her brother home in her sparkly sequined high heels.
When they got home, Xu Zhen and Huang Cuicui learned that their daughter had successfully caught the eye of that fifth brother. The couple doted on their daughter, asking her all sorts of questions, their faces beaming with pride and joy.
In Building 1 of Jinxiu Mansion, Lu Yongbing and his son, who were waiting on the second floor to accept moving jobs, saw Xiong Zhong leading eleven unfamiliar men with guns and tools they didn't recognize, sailing towards their building in two speedboats.
"They're definitely going to the seventeenth floor to cause trouble again. You'd better hurry and go to the seventeenth floor to inform the Xu and Xiao families!"
"Dad, I'm going right now. You should come home too. Things aren't going to be peaceful in our building today!"
Lu Ping gave his father some instructions, then turned and rushed upstairs.
Upon reaching the seventeenth floor, Lu Ping stood outside the fire escape door and shouted inside, "Xu Lai, Xu Lai, Xu Lai..."
Xu Lai, who was playing with the meatballs in the living room, heard a familiar voice, opened the door, and saw Lu Ping.
"It's Brother Lu!"
Xu Lai happily lifted her foot, ready to go open the fire door.
"Don't open it! Xiong Zhong has brought a group of unfamiliar people towards our building again. Judging from the powerful weapons and tools they brought, they're probably after your two families again. You two should quickly discuss and make some preparations in advance!"
After finishing his sentence in one breath, Lu Ping looked at Xu Lai with a guilty expression and said, "Sister Xu, I should have stayed to help you, but firstly, I'm not skilled enough and I'm afraid I'd be a burden; secondly, I have elderly parents and young children to support, and I have to take responsibility for them..."
Upon hearing the kind-hearted man's words outside the fire door and seeing his apologetic expression, Xu Lai waved to him and said with a smile, "Brother Lu, I understand. Thank you for risking your life to bring us the news. Also, putting your family first is the right thing to do. Go back quickly and tell Grandpa Lu not to worry about us!"
Xu Lai was sincere in her words to Lu Ping.
At this critical moment, risking their lives to come and deliver the message, they have already done an excellent job.
She knew about Lu Ping's family situation: elderly parents, a young wife, and a daughter who was still drinking formula. He was indeed the pillar of the family.
If something were to happen to him, his family probably wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
How could she blame such a sincere person for not helping her family deal with those enemies?
If it were her, her first choice would definitely be her family!
"I'm leaving now. Be careful, those people look really troublesome!"
After Lu Ping finished speaking, he heard a noise downstairs. He quickly went upstairs, crossed the connecting corridor upstairs, went down the stairs of Unit 2 to the ninth floor, and returned to his own apartment 904.
After Lu Ping left, Xu Lai hurried home and brought out her family members who were busy in the space. Then she knocked on the door of the Xiao family next door and told everyone what Lu Ping had said.
"Damn it, why is that beast Xiong Zhong going on and on? He's determined to fight us to the death!"
Even Grandpa Xu, who never swore in front of his elders, couldn't help but swear.
"The outside help they've found this time is probably quite strong. Let's discuss what to do if things get heated!"
As expected of someone who had served as a leader in the military, even at this critical juncture, Old Master Xiao remained calm and composed.
For Mr. Xiao, who had commanded numerous large-scale military exercises, these thugs might have carried relatively powerful weapons, but to him, it was still just a minor skirmish.
