Chapter 248 He's getting arrogant again.
At the Hu family mansion in the western district
The Hu father and son had grim expressions and were racking their brains to figure out how to get back at him.
Previously, they had meticulously designed a dual contract to induce Zhen Suxin to sign it, fully believing that they could take over Chuangyi Company and make a fortune.
Unexpectedly, when Hu Xiong went to cause trouble, he was beaten unconscious by a security guard who appeared out of nowhere. Afterwards, the Hu family received anonymous threats, warning them that if they dared to cause trouble for Zhen Suxin again, they would be in deep trouble. This series of events enraged the Hu father and son, who were now plotting revenge with gritted teeth.
"Master, young master, something terrible has happened! Someone has forced their way in!" A servant rushed in to report.
"Who is it? Is it that security guard?" Xiong tensed up instantly, quickly standing up, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes. He was still shaken by the security guard who had knocked Hu Xiong unconscious.
However, what appeared before them was a strange young man.
"Who are you?" Hu Xiong shouted warily.
"My name is Chang You," the young man said calmly and in a nonchalant tone. Then, he walked over to the sofa and sat down, looking at the Hu father and son with a meaningful smile on his face. "I heard you've fallen out with Xiao Chen, so I'm here to offer you some advice."
"As long as your Hu family is willing to become an appendage of my Chang family in the future, I will help you deal with Xiao Chen properly." Chang You crossed his legs, looking confident of victory.
Upon hearing this, the Hu father and son were furious.
"Where did this madman come from, daring to spout nonsense in my Hu family! Get out of here!" Hu Xiong shouted angrily, his eyes wide with fury.
Chang You's face instantly darkened. He nodded slightly, and the person behind him rushed forward, grabbed the necks of the Hu family father and son, and lifted them up.
The Hu father and son were terrified, their feet off the ground, and could only struggle desperately, uttering indistinct cries.
“Perhaps you are not aware of the power of the Chang family, nor do you know who I, Chang You, am.” Chang You calmly picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and took a small sip. “You, go out and talk to them.” He pointed to the door.
A person slowly walked in. The Hu father and son stared at him, and their faces were filled with shock. The anger in their eyes was instantly replaced by fear.
More than ten minutes later, the Hu father and son, their faces filled with fear, respectfully bowed down to Chang You.
"Our Hu family is willing to submit to the Chang family to the death and honor Young Master Chang You as our master!"
Chang You stood up with satisfaction, brushing off non-existent dust from his clothes. Having successfully subdued the Hu family, he immediately set off for his next target family—the Liu family.
The Liu family mansion.
Seeing Chang You's imposing presence and the group of well-trained elites behind him, the head of the Liu family politely asked, "May I ask who you are, and what brings you to the Liu family?"
"I'm here to make your Liu family submit. From now on, the Liu family must listen to my Chang family!" Chang You said without any politeness, his tone exuding an undeniable domineering aura.
Upon hearing this, the Liu family members were furious and accused Chang You of being arrogant and ignorant.
Chang You simply sneered and waved to summon a few people.
"Either submit to me obediently and join me in dealing with Xiao Chen, or I will wipe your Liu family out of the capital!" Chang You threatened coldly, a ruthless glint in his eyes.
The Liu family initially refused to submit, but bloodshed soon followed.
"My Liu family is willing to submit!" After weighing the pros and cons, the head of the Liu family wisely chose to submit, his attitude decisive and swift.
Next, relying on his tough methods and powerful background, Chang You successively subdued several more families who had grudges against Xiao Chen. In a short time, he had gathered a powerful force under his command, making him a formidable figure.
When Chang You learned from the Liu family that Xiao Chen was now working as a security guard at Chuangyi Company, she couldn't help but let out a disdainful sneer.
"Giving up a promising future to become a lowly security guard, is it to pick up girls? What a loser." Chang You was extremely disdainful of Xiao Chen's behavior, and her contempt for him grew even stronger. "If I had known he was this worthless, I would have wasted all this effort. I really overestimated him!"
After the initial sneer, a mocking expression appeared on Chang You's face.
"Your Liu family should go and play with him first, and have some fun with him."
……
Xiao Chen was on the phone in the security booth in front of the Creative Company's gate.
Zhen Suxin said she needed to go back to the company to pick up some things, so he came with her.
"The people from Zhaixing Tower want to see me? No." Xiao Chen listened to the report on the other end of the phone, his tone revealing impatience.
The Star-Picking Tower is a rather mysterious force in the Xia Kingdom.
In the present Xia Kingdom, the Underworld Palace, the Heavenly King Palace, and the secluded black market organizations are all top-tier forces.
Below these three top-tier forces, there are further subdivisions into first-tier to third-tier forces. Famous top martial arts families in the capital, such as the Xiao family, belong to the first-tier category. The Star-Picking Tower is also among the first-tier forces.
Legend has it that there are twenty-eight constellations in the Star-Picking Tower, each with unique skills and a great reputation in the martial arts world.
Few people know that the Star-Picking Tower was actually founded by Xiao Chen's teacher... the previous Lord of the Underworld Palace, back in the capital. After many years of development, it has now grown into a considerable force that should not be underestimated.
This can be considered one of Xiao Chen's trump cards.
In addition, it seems that the previous ruler of the Underworld also founded a martial arts sect that was entirely composed of women...
"Your Majesty, you should still meet them. The members of the Star-Picking Tower each have their own strengths, and they might be able to help you in many ways," the voice on the phone continued to persuade.
"Alright then, have them send a few people over first," Xiao Chen said calmly after a moment's thought.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Chen was bored, so he decided to take a nap in the guard post.
Not long after, several cars slowly drove up and stopped next to the guard post.
The Liu family members got out of the car and saw that Xiao Chen was actually slacking off in the guard post. Their faces turned extremely ugly.
The head of the Liu family gave a wink, and one of the Liu family members understood and stepped forward.
"Bang, bang, bang..." The man pounded on the window of the guard post, the sound particularly jarring in the quiet doorway.
Xiao Chen opened his eyes and saw the Liu family members standing outside, and couldn't help but frown.
"What are you doing here?" he asked coldly.
Last time at the Liu family's place, he displayed formidable strength, killing a King-level expert and intimidating this group. How could they dare to act so arrogantly again so soon?
"We're looking for Zhen Suxin, call her out!" a member of the Liu family shouted arrogantly, head held high.
Xiao Chen frowned, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
"Are you itching for a beating?" he coldly uttered two words.
He could clearly sense that the Liu family's attitude had become arrogant again.
"Xiao Chen, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have some brute strength," the Liu family head said with a sneer. "You can't protect Zhen Suxin, and you can't even protect yourself!"
Xiao Chen gave a disdainful sneer.
"I'd like to see where you get the audacity to say such things to me."
“Now the Liu family has the Chang family backing us up! The Chang family is incredibly powerful, how can you possibly compete with them!” another member of the Liu family said smugly.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen frowned slightly.
The Chang family? The family behind Jiang Qingchen's eldest disciple? I never imagined the Liu family would think they could act arrogantly in front of him just because they've allied themselves with the Chang family…
"What's going on?" A voice came from behind. It was Zhen Suxin coming downstairs. She had seen a large number of Liu family members gathered near the security booth in her office, so she came down to check the situation.
"Zhen Suxin, you're fired." The Liu family head said expressionlessly, his tone as cold as ice in the dead of winter.
"What? Expelled?" Zhen Suxin was stunned, her face full of disbelief.
"Hmph! You and your daughter dared to defy the family's decision. We were already being merciful by not expelling you from the family before!" a member of the Liu family sneered. "You really think we'll continue to let you manage the company? Don't dream!"
The Liu family's words were like sharp blades, piercing Zhen Suxin's heart.
She had worked tirelessly over the years, determined to achieve something, prove her worth, and earn the respect of the Liu family. But to her dismay, this was the result; the Liu family was now turning on her.
"Creative Arts Company will be taken over by Wentao from now on," the Liu family patriarch announced.
Zhen Suxin's brows were furrowed, her heart filled with worry.
She poured countless efforts into Creative Company, and it was only with great difficulty that it got on the right track. If she handed it over to Liu Wentao, that good-for-nothing spendthrift, the company would definitely be thrown into chaos and end up in a bad way.
But what could she possibly do to stop it?
"Zhen Suxin, I'm giving you a choice now. If your mother is willing to marry the head of the Wang family, you can stay in the Liu family. Otherwise, you and your mother will get out of the Liu family immediately!" A member of the Liu family stepped forward and shouted.
Zhen Suxin's face turned extremely ugly. She bit her lip tightly and remained silent.
"Also, you must sever all ties with this Xiao Chen! Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite!" another member of the Liu family added.
Zhen Suxin glanced at Xiao Chen, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes, and then sighed softly.
"Take the company's shares," she said in a low voice, filled with deep reluctance. "Let's go," she said to Xiao Chen, preparing to leave.
She didn't want to argue with the Liu family anymore, because she knew it was pointless. And compromise was out of the question for her.
From Zhen Suxin's forlorn expression, Xiao Chen could truly sense how much she cared about this company. After all, Creative Company was like a child she had raised herself, embodying so much of her hard work.
Xiao Chen reached out and stopped Zhen Suxin.
"If you don't want to leave today, no one can force you to leave this company!" Xiao Chen said calmly.
Zhen Suxin looked at him with some surprise and uncertainty.
“But this company is indeed owned by the Liu family…” she said softly, her voice tinged with helplessness.
"None of that matters." Xiao Chen smiled and shook his head. "I only need to say one word to make this company change hands!"
