Chapter 158, Chapter 14: The Cat Master in a Rich Family Novel
His response was a series of beeps.
They didn't say a single extra word.
There was no mockery, nor any explanation.
What could be a better way to slap him in the face than this?
The head of the Xu family was so angry that he was trembling all over.
"You unfilial son! This unfilial son!"
Enraged, the head of the Xu family slammed the servant's cell phone onto the ground.
The screen shattered instantly. The young maid turned pale with fright, her eyes reddening slightly. She looked at the broken phone with heartache.
But he could only hang his head and endure it, not daring to pick it up or say anything more.
Old Master Xu sat in the chair, his face extremely grim.
He had expected Xu Qingzhou to be unfriendly to them, but he never imagined that his attitude would be so resolute.
They completely refused to communicate, leaving no room for negotiation.
This is worse than the worst-case scenario he had anticipated!
"Dad! Look at this! Look at his attitude!"
The head of the Xu family was still not satisfied, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.
"This is utterly lawless! He has no respect for his elders! Is the officialdom so easy to navigate? Without his family's support, let's see how far he can go!"
Looking at his indignant and impotently furious son, Old Master Xu wearily closed his eyes.
"Enough already, aren't you ashamed enough? Come up with me."
Once back in his study, where he was safe from outside prying eyes, Old Master Xu finally sighed.
"He holds a special position now, backed by the country. You think you can bring him back by force?"
"What should we do then? Are we just going to let it go like this?"
The head of the Xu family was still unwilling to give up.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Now that the vampires have appeared, no matter the outcome of this battle, the social structure and status will be reshuffled. As long as we get on his good side, our Xu family..."
"How could I not know?"
Grandpa Xu looked at him coldly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
"You just can't keep your composure."
The head of the Xu family was furious but dared not speak out.
Old Master Xu snorted, a few glints of light flashing in his cloudy eyes.
"If the hard approach doesn't work, try the soft approach."
"Dad, you mean... I should go and beg him?!"
The head of the Xu family suddenly raised his voice.
"impossible!"
Old Master Xu could no longer hold back and struck him with his cane.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Have you forgotten that he still has a mother?"
The head of the Xu family was taken aback and then received a solid blow from his cane.
To be honest, he really had forgotten.
Grandpa Xu took a breath and tried to calm himself down.
"That woman... has a soft heart and is sentimental. If we can win her over, why should he disobey us?"
The head of the Xu family's eyes lit up.
yes!
How could he forget that woman?
The woman who used to be so obedient to him, who could only silently shed tears even after knowing she had been deceived!
But you can't blame him for that.
He has too many women, and countless of them are completely devoted to him.
That woman who doesn't compete or fight is just an inconspicuous flower among them.
If it weren't for the fact that he had so many women but only two children, Xu Mingjing and Xu Qingzhou...
He probably doesn't even remember her now.
The father and son reached a consensus and began to plot how to win back their extremely valuable son through Xu Qingzhou's mother.
Unfortunately, they miscalculated again.
Xu Qingzhou had long anticipated that the Xu family might target his mother.
Before his identity was revealed, he had already brought his mother over through the organization's arrangements.
It didn't take much effort to bring her over.
Although she couldn't resist the Xu family and lived in the house they provided, she never argued, fought, or cooperated.
With so many women outside the Xu family vying to please him, he naturally wouldn't want to come to her and get a cold shoulder.
Gradually, the Xu family almost forgot about her existence.
Now she knows that her son has become a government official through his own abilities and no longer needs to be constrained by the Xu family.
This woman, who had always been melancholy, seemed to have been revitalized.
She took nothing and left that very night with the people who came to pick her up—the house that had confined her for most of her life.
She was placed in a special family area with extremely high security.
The area is inhabited by the families of important national figures, and security is tight, requiring multiple checks for entry and exit.
Even though the Xu family is wealthy, they can't get their hands on that stuff.
Looking at the house, which was now deserted, the head of the Xu family was ashen-faced, but there was nothing he could do.
He did want to call that woman, but he didn't have her number.
Even now, he can't remember her name.
When Grandpa Xu learned of this, he could only sigh deeply.
We underestimated that child.
That makes sense; how simple can someone be to serve as a minister in a national department?
Grandpa Xu has experienced a lot of ups and downs. Although he cares about the family business, he is still clear-headed.
Having ascertained Xu Qingzhou's attitude, he stopped his futile attempts to curry favor and changed his strategy.
Like Su Wan and her son, they decided to adopt an attitude of neither befriending nor continuing to antagonize each other.
But the head of the Xu family was unwilling to give up.
He was unwilling to let the benefits he had already gained slip away.
But he couldn't go against Old Master Xu's wishes.
He could only suppress his anger and keep quiet.
No matter how chaotic things get at the Xu family's place, it has nothing to do with Xu Qingzhou.
After months of repeated experiments, they finally succeeded in creating the sacred artifact.
This is a longsword with a strong traditional flavor.
The main body of the sword is made of specially treated mercury and incorporates many precious and rare materials.
The hilt is made of white jade, which complements the light magic infused into the sword.
When swung, you can see the flowing, mirror-like liquid silver light on the sword's surface.
They tested the effectiveness of the Dawn Light on Chi Lian.
It was just a cut on my finger, a wound that would normally heal in the blink of an eye, but this time it took three days to recover.
Even as time went on, the wound did not deepen, but Chi Lian became increasingly uncomfortable, and her breathing became more and more disordered.
In the dormitory area, one could often hear that alluring yet ruthless vampire cursing and swearing.
If Yu Wanwan hadn't treated her, she probably would have been tormented to death by this wound.
But the results are also obvious.
The Blood Hunter Division was in an uproar, with both the original members and the new members who were transferred in later.
Even a vampire like Chi Lian, with her pure bloodline, couldn't resist the power of the Dawn Light.
Not to mention other high-ranking vampires?
Just like the name "Dawn," humanity has rekindled its hope when facing the supernatural race of vampires!
Along with the Dawnlight, a specially designed Blood Hunter pistol also appeared.
Both are silver pistols, but the bullets are specially treated, containing silver and garlic.
While its lethality and effectiveness are not as high as Dawnlight's, it still significantly enhances the Blood Hunters' combat power.
Not only the Blood Hunters, but the entire national security force is equipped with such firearms and ammunition.
With the support of these weapons and equipment, the Blood Hunters' operations became more frequent and swift.
In the remote mountains, unseen by the general public, the battle between the Blood Hunters and the Vampires intensifies.
They couldn't kill the higher-ranking vampires, but the lower-ranking vampires were wiped out layer by layer.
With the government's vigorous efforts in popularizing science and the strict protection of police personnel, the opportunities for higher-level vampires to transform into lower-level vampires are constantly decreasing.
The existing low-level vampires are constantly disappearing, and there aren't enough to replace them.
Although there are high-ranking vampires in charge, Xu Qingzhou and Yu Wanwan are also in charge on the human side.
These two are actually capable of completely suppressing the vampires.
However, it was Chi Lian's existence that made Xu Qingzhou realize that not all vampires are unforgivable.
Perhaps the existence of vampires can usher in a new era for this world, promoting its development and prosperity.
All he had to do was subdue these troublesome vampires so that he could develop his envisioned blueprint.
As for Yu Wanwan, that unknown power has not yet appeared.
She still hasn't figured out which faction this power comes from. Who knows if there will be any other unexpected events after these vampires are eliminated?
With Yu Wanwan and Xu Qingzhou intentionally or unintentionally letting the game slide, the battle reached a stalemate, with neither side able to gain the upper hand for the time being.
That day, Xu Qingzhou had just returned from the battlefield when he received a phone call.
"Qingzhou! Something's happened to my mom!"
It is Xu Mingjing.
The usually calm and collected person now spoke with a tone of panic and helplessness, his voice choked with emotion.
"What happened? Where are you? I'm coming right now!"
"apartment."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Wanwan had already climbed onto his shoulder.
Xu Qingzhou didn't have time to explain. He greeted Section Chief Lin and immediately drove off.
He drove very fast the whole way, and his face was tense.
Yu Wanwan glanced at him several times, but he didn't notice.
He sighed, but didn't say anything, just silently kept an eye on the road conditions for him.
Twenty minutes later, the car arrived safely at Xu Mingjing's apartment.
Xu Qingzhou carried Yu Wanwan and rushed into the apartment like a gust of wind.
In the living room, Xu Mingjing's face was deathly pale, and his eyes were filled with unprecedented panic and helplessness.
He held tightly to Su Wan's hand, who was unconscious on the sofa.
Seeing Xu Qingzhou was like a lost person in the desert finally finding water.
"Qingzhou! My mom... my mom was bitten by a vampire... please save her... please save her!"
Su Wan lay on the sofa with her eyes closed, her face pale, and her lips ashen.
There were two clear and horrifying bloody holes on his neck.
The surrounding skin was an ominous bluish-black, and the breath was so faint as to be almost imperceptible.
He looks like a dying man.
Xu Qingzhou's brow twitched, and he immediately stepped forward.
He didn't even have time to put Yu Wanwan down; his free right hand was used to point at Su Wan's brow, chest, and the area around her wound.
A gentle yet powerful surge of light energy flowed into Su Wan's body, repairing her injuries and temporarily stabilizing her condition.
However, Xu Qingzhou's brows remained furrowed, and his eyes were filled with seriousness.
"She has almost been drained of blood. My power can heal her injuries, but it can't replenish her blood."
Xu Mingjing's face turned even paler, and he slumped down, kneeling beside the sofa with red eyes.
"Then...what should we do..."
Xu Qingzhou was the only person he knew who, besides vampires, possessed supernatural powers.
If even he can't do anything about it, what else can be done?
Xu Qingzhou pursed her lips and subconsciously looked down at the cat in her arms.
"Xiao Wan, do you have a solution?"
Yu Wanwan flicked her tail.
A gentle, smiling voice echoed in their minds.
Xu Mingjing, however, had no time to ponder the source of the sound in his shock.
He was trembling slightly, as if he had grasped a lifeline.
"What method?"
Coincidentally, there was a vampire living in the Blood Hunter Department.
They are third-generation high-level vampires, even more powerful than most pure-blooded vampires.
If she were to undergo this transformation, she would at least be an undisputed prince, if not a queen.
Xu Mingjing fell silent.
Although I know the world has changed, but...
He still couldn't quite accept turning people into vampires for the time being.
"And the second one?"
His voice was incredibly hoarse, carrying a faint hope and a plea.
