The Master Descends the Mountain: My Destined CEO

Of course, the Xiao Family didn't want to.

They all knelt on the ground together.

Humiliated, they kowtowed to Xiao Ye!

As they did, they didn't forget to chant, "The Xiao Family are all trash!"

Xiao Ye casually picked at his ear. "What was that? You're all too quiet. That's not good enough."

"It sounds like you haven't eaten. No problem, I can just beat you full. I guarantee you won't need to eat for the next few days!"

The members of the Xiao Family immediately started trembling.

They didn't know what was going on. There was something sinister about the way Xiao Ye hit people. His blows didn't look that heavy on the surface, but the pain was excruciating.

And the pain was so profound they never wanted to experience it again!

So the group shouted at the top of their lungs, "The Xiao Family are all trash!"

This time, Xiao Ye was satisfied. "Not bad. You can scram now."

The members of the Xiao Family immediately got up and helped each other away.

Diwu Hanran watched this unfold and shook his head in confusion. "If I were them, after failing to honor the bet yesterday, I wouldn't have come back here."

"At least not for a while. It's one thing to come back today, but to dare to bring reinforcements? They're brainless."

Everyone says the Fifth Clan is the stupidest, but now, it looks like that title belongs to the Xiao Family.

The Fifth Clan at least has physical prowess. The Xiao Family has none, and now they're left with nothing but a little bit of stinking money!

When you have so much money, it just becomes a string of numbers.

For people like them, it had long lost any real meaning.

After the Xiao Family left, Xiao Ye went over to Zhu Chen and transferred the video from his phone. "Give this to Liu Loulan."

Zhu Chen glanced at it and smiled. "Alright. You're really twisting the knife with this one."

「An hour later.」

The Xiao Family members hadn't even returned yet.

But Liu Loulan had already received the video.

She hadn't even finished watching before she smashed her phone in a rage!

"Trash! A bunch of trash!"

She ordered her subordinate, "When that group gets back, have them come see me! Especially Xiao Ming!"

「Twenty minutes later.」

The younger generation arrived.

Liu Loulan did not appear personally. Instead, she had an Elder reprimand them and sentenced them to kneel in the ancestral hall!

They had to kneel for a full two hours and obtain the ancestors' forgiveness before they could come out!

Xiao Ming, however, was kept behind.

He watched Liu Loulan emerge from the back, then dropped to his knees with a THUD. "Mother!"

"You still have the nerve to call me Mother!" Liu Loulan struck him across the back with her cane.

"How could I have given birth to a useless son like you! Look at the mess you've made!"

"I spent so much money and a full twenty years raising you, and this is how you repay me!"

"You've brought shame to me and the Xiao Family!"

"Mother, I was wrong..." Xiao Ming trembled with fear.

Liu Loulan let go of her cane, took a long whip from a subordinate, and lashed it viciously across Xiao Ming's body!

"You are the heir to the Xiao Family! My position will be yours one day!"

"And this is what you do? You disgrace the Xiao Family, and you disgrace me!"

"I've told you before, if you make a mistake, you must accept the punishment. And this time, you have made a grave mistake!"

An unknown amount of time passed.

Only when Xiao Ming was lying on the ground, covered in blood, did Liu Loulan finally stop. "Carry him out. Use the best wound medicine."

It was the same medicine used for the Death Warriors, capable of healing wounds in the shortest possible time.

But it also left side effects: the old wounds would ache whenever the weather turned cloudy or rainy.

This was to ensure they would remember the lesson and never make the same mistake again!

Once Xiao Ming had been carried away, Liu Loulan sat down on a chair, panting. "Was this the Zhu family's doing again?"

"Yes."

An ill premonition rose in Liu Loulan's heart once again. 'That person... who the hell is he!'

'It seems I'll have to make a trip myself!'

"Tomorrow, I'll go to the club myself and see just who this person is who dares to oppose my Xiao Family!"

「The next morning.」

Xiao Ye arrived at the horse track again.

He took a lap on a black horse, then looked toward the entrance as if sensing something.

Xiao Ye's lips curved into a smile. 'Finally, the big fish has taken the bait!'

He dismounted, and with that unremarkable face of his, walked to the edge of the track.

Leaning on her cane, Liu Loulan's gaze instantly fixed on him.

In an instant, she recognized him.

This was the man who had burned down the Xiao Family's branch office and taken the Death Warriors!

"So it is you! What do you want?"

Xiao Ye walked over, stopping three steps away from her.

Liu Loulan felt a shock in her heart. 'Why does this person look so much like Xiao Ye?'

'Aside from the face, his build, his aura, the feeling he gives off... it's all so much like Xiao Ling!'

'Impossible!'

'Xiao Ye is already dead!'

'My people confirmed it multiple times. They even dug up his grave. There's absolutely no mistake!'

Liu Loulan stared at him intently. "Who are you!"

"Why are you targeting the Xiao Family? What is your relationship with the Zhu family?"

Xiao Ye smiled faintly. "You'll know the answer to that eventually. But for now, I won't be telling you."

Liu Loulan's expression darkened. "Fine. Then tell me, what will it take for you to delete that video!"

It wasn't that she hadn't thought about finding a chance to kill him.

But with the Zhu family backing him, she didn't dare act rashly.

She was afraid that if she angered the Zhu family, something terrible would happen to her.

The people of the Zhu family were mysterious and unpredictable—the last people you'd want to provoke!

"If you want me to delete the video, it's very simple." Xiao Ye took another step forward.

Liu Loulan didn't move. She certainly wasn't going to let a young man intimidate her.

A faint fragrance wafted into her nose, but she paid it no mind, assuming it was just his cologne.

For wealthy people like them, it was common for both men and women to wear fragrances, like nobility, when they went out.

"That would be one billion, plus the Xiao Family's Dream Special Effects Technology Company, located on the fifth ring road in the eastern part of the Imperial City."

Liu Loulan's eyes widened. "You... That's an outrageous demand!"

"One billion, and you dare to demand a company from my Xiao Family on top of that? Do you take my Xiao Family for a fool?"

Xiao Ye smiled faintly. "Actually, yes. There really isn't a single smart person in your Xiao Family. I have no idea how you've managed to maintain your title as a hidden noble family."

"I predict that in less than five years, the Xiao Family will fall to the level of a first-rate family!"

"You!"

"Just tell me, are you going to pay or not?" Xiao Ye didn't care whether she agreed. His goal had already been achieved, after all.

"If you don't, this video will be all over the internet by tomorrow."

"At that point, you won't be able to delete it even if you want to. Think about your Xiao Family. They just lost a great deal of face because of you!"

"And now, with this incident involving the younger generation, I imagine the Xiao Family's reputation will be completely ruined!"

Liu Loulan was furious. She never expected him to be so sharp-tongued!

But she was someone who cared deeply about appearances and wouldn't lose her composure in public. Otherwise, she would have loved nothing more than to bash his head in with her cane!

"No. One billion is too much. The most I can give you is two hundred million. As for the company, don't even think about it!"

"Two hundred million is more than enough for you to live well for the rest of your life. Don't be so insatiably greedy!"

"Otherwise... be careful you don't bite off more than you can chew and choke on it!"
