“If being a good businessman requires being ruthless, then I’d rather not be one,” Xia Yixin shrugged.
Grandpa Xia chuckled, a sound that was both a sigh and a lament, "So you and I are both caught in this game. But you're different from me, girl. Grandpa knew this day would come, but you're different. Grandpa just hopes you won't make a decision you'll regret." His words were loaded with meaning.
Just as Xia Yixin was about to reply, there was a knock on the open bedroom door.
It's Long Wu.
Long Wu's expression was serious. "Miss Xia, Chairman, something has happened."
Xia Yixin stood up, frowning. "What do you mean?"
"The gunshots came from a construction site that was abandoned and owned by the Lin family. It has now been surrounded by the Chinese police. They say that a cult organization is fighting with the Lin family. The entire capital is now under martial law. Judging from the number of police and special police officers on the scene, it doesn't seem like a simple matter. I also saw Bai Qi."
"Where is Lu Yan?" Xia Yixin guessed that Lu Yan might have used the Lin family's name to lure Su Bei out tonight.
Long Wu shook his head. "I didn't see Young Master Lu, but there was a lot of blood at the scene."
Lu Yan has Bai family blood, so he should be fine, but after tonight, it will truly be a life-or-death struggle between him and Su Bei.
At that moment, the system that had been dormant in her mind for a long time suddenly spoke up: "Impossible."
"System, what do you mean?" she frowned.
"Host, have you forgotten that Su Bei is the male lead of another small world? He can't possibly die, while Lu Yan is at most a supporting male character. How could the God of the Main God allow such a mistake to happen? I can bet with certainty that Su Bei will escape alive tonight, and in the future, the God of the Main God will correct the plot and separate the two worlds again."
Are we separated into two different worlds? Xia Yixin had a vague sense of foreboding.
But this time, no matter how she called out to the system, it didn't give her an answer.
The time stop has ended.
After a moment's hesitation, Long Wu suggested, "Miss Xia, what should we do now?"
Xia Yixin suppressed her unease and turned to ask Grandpa Xia, only to find that the old man had fallen asleep against the headboard at some point.
No, not asleep.
He has stopped breathing.
Although she knew the old man would leave suddenly, she still felt a pang of sadness when it actually happened.
The old man was still holding an envelope in his hand, which still carried his body heat.
After Xia Yixin opened it, the first thing she found was a will, which was probably entrusting Li Rui to handle her affairs. In the future, Xia Yixin would only hold shares in the Xia Group and would still serve as the chairman of the Xia Group with veto power, but she would completely give up the position of president of the Xia Group, which would be taken over by Li Rui.
Finally, there was a letter to Xia Yixin, containing only one sentence: "Girl, if you decide to leave, this is enough for you to find a place to live happily. Don't ever come back to China." The rest included a plane ticket to any country, at any time, with any airline, a fake passport, and a black card.
“Miss Xia, the chairman…” Long Wu, a tall man, was also moved.
Xia Yixin did not answer him immediately, but instead helped Old Master Xia lie down peacefully on the bed.
"Don't disturb Grandpa tonight. Have the hospital and lawyer come over first thing tomorrow morning."
"Yes." Long Wu bowed deeply respectfully. With Old Master Xia gone, Xia Yixin was undoubtedly the backbone of the entire Xia Group and the Dragon Guards.
When Xia Yixin left the room, she subconsciously picked up her phone, her finger hovering over Lu Yan's name for a long time before she finally didn't press the button.
The next day.
The news of the death of Xia's Chairman, Old Master Xia, shocked everyone. The subsequent announcement of his will further stunned many people. Xia Yixin was effectively fired from Xia's company, while Li Rui became the biggest winner, rising to the top overnight.
Some say that Old Master Xia has lost his mind, while others say that Old Master Xia deliberately sent Xia Yixin overseas to develop new influence.
Of course, Xia Ping, Mr. Xia's only remaining daughter, left quietly, taking her own share of the journey.
Meanwhile, the police released a statement explaining the gunshots that occurred last night.
After the police released the information, the Lin family quickly responded. #Old Master Lin's will has been announced, and Lin Tongtong, the third generation of the Lin family, is marrying into the royal family of a certain country. The Lin family may relocate to that country. If the will is genuine, this will be the greatest loss to Chinese literary history in recent years.#
Old Master Lin's will was written before he was taken into custody. At that time, he had already made preparations to keep the Lin family away from China, and much of the Lin family's property had already been transferred.
When she received the news, Xia Yixin had already arrived at Huaguo International Airport in accordance with her grandfather's will.
Li Rui returned to China to handle Grandpa Xia's funeral arrangements.
Over the phone, Li Rui couldn't hide her worry: "Yixin, are you really going to leave China and never come back? I believe Lu Yan is sincere towards you, and it's safest for you to stay in China."
In the past few days, as the capital city has been searching for the so-called "cult members," various forces have also taken their positions, and it is already vaguely visible that the Bai family, led by Lu Yan, will become the number one clan in China in the future.
After the Lin family announced their plan to leave China, they were criticized by many people, and even some of the things the Lin family had done in secret were brought to light.
There are probably even more dirty things happening in literary circles.
In the bustling airport.
Xia Yixin, wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses that almost covered half her face, watched planes take off and land outside the window in the VIP waiting room.
She made up a story to Li Rui about going abroad to relax. With only 3 days left, she planned to find an excuse to send Long Wu and the others away after she arrived abroad. Disappearance was better than death.
