Su Yingxia's expression grew awkward.
Su Yuhua chuckled, "That item is very important to Third Uncle and the Su family."
"Actually, it's largely due to that item that I've reached where I am today. If it hadn't caught the interest of the influential person who helped me, Third Uncle wouldn't be where he is now."
"Ah?"
Su Yingxia's face shifted slightly.
"Third Uncle doesn't blame you!" Su Yuhua patted Su Yingxia's shoulder and said, "Just try your best. If you retrieve that item, you'll have made a great contribution. Third Uncle will ensure you become the chairman of the Su Group."
"If it absolutely cannot be retrieved, Third Uncle will find another way."
"But if it can be bought back, that would be even better!"
"Alright, fine..."
Su Yingxia felt a pang of bitterness. If she had known this would happen, she would never have given that item to Miss Chen.
And Miss Chen actually passed it on to Chen Fan. What was their relationship?
She couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"Don't tell anyone else about this."
Su Yuhua added another instruction before turning and leaving the room.
If she could gain Third Uncle's favor and be supported to manage the Su Group, it would indeed be a tremendous piece of good news.
But the prerequisite made Su Yingxia’s head ache terribly.
"Xiaxia, what did your Third Uncle say to you?"
Before she could leave, Mother Su rushed in, asking, "Did he promise you something good?"
"Nothing much."
Su Yingxia shook her head, not wanting to elaborate, "He told me to work hard, and that the Su Group might be handed over to me."
Mother Su became instantly excited and thrilled. "Oh my, your Third Uncle thinks highly of you. Hehe, this is wonderful, truly wonderful! It wasn't in vain that your father took such good care of him back then..."
...
Meanwhile.
Wang Dongdong was showing his girlfriend around the villa and enjoying themselves.
Seeing that Chen Fan had no objections, he actually went to the convenience store to buy swimsuits and took his girlfriend to swim in the pool.
Chen Fan didn't stop them. He left again and drove to a bar with a foreign name that translated to 'Miyue'.
Of course, if translated in another way, the name could mean 'Dark Night Arrived'.
The bar was undergoing renovations. After Chen Fan entered, Meiji was supervising the workers.
"Boss, you're here!"
Seeing Chen Fan, she blinked and said with a smile.
Chen Fan looked around and asked, "Have they left?"
He was referring to the Prophet and the others.
"The Magician stayed behind!"
Meiji led Chen Fan towards the office.
"Boss!"
The Magician was napping but remained alert. He woke up the moment the door opened and immediately stood up.
"You should have left with the Prophet."
Chen Fan said.
"Without Boss here, what's the difference between the current Dark Night and the past three years?" The Magician smiled and said, "Rather than doing meaningless missions, it's better to stay by Boss's side. Besides, I've never been to a place like Da Hua before. Staying for a while can be considered a holiday."
Chen Fan nodded. "What's the activity in the underworld?"
"We annihilated the Bloody Cult, which caused some ripples. Some people speculated that Boss appeared in Da Hua, leading to much conjecture."
Chen Fan wasn't surprised by this.
It was easy for people to guess that the Lord of Dark Night was in Da Hua once the Dark Night organization arrived.
This was no big deal. As long as their specific identities weren't exposed, it posed no problem for Chen Fan.
"As for the Storm Knights, the commander is cooperating. Their missions come from a hacker named 'Hua Sheng', whose specific identity is unknown. The Prophet has already assigned our 'Programmer' to investigate, and they will report back as soon as there's any news."
Chen Fan had no worries about the Prophet's arrangements.
Programmer wasn't a job title in Dark Night, but a codename, much like Magician. He was a top-tier hacker in the industry.
In today's globalized world, an organization like Dark Night naturally needed a master hacker.
"Boss, we'll be operating from this bar from now on," Meiji said with a smile. "I'll only visit the kindergarten every few days. If you have any instructions, you can contact us anytime."
Chen Fan surveyed the bar and shook his head, "Are you really planning to stay here long-term?"
"As long as Boss remains in Hangjiang, this bar will always be here," Meiji smiled. "We also need something to do, otherwise, it's too boring. If Boss wants a drink, remember to come here!"
Chen Fan smiled, then turned to leave to pick up Nannan and Su Yingxue from school.
After picking up the two of them, just as he was about to return to Villa Number One, Chen Fan's phone rang.
Looking at it, Chen Fan frowned.
He was too familiar with this phone number; he had it memorized from his three years in the Su family.
He directly rejected the call, ignoring it completely.
After a while, the phone rang again.
He hung up again.
Upon returning to Villa Number One and getting out of the car, the persistent caller rang once more.
This time, Chen Fan answered the call.
"Chen Fan, I have something I want to discuss with you. Do you have time?"
Su Yingxia's voice came from the phone, forcefully suppressing her anger at Chen Fan for rejecting her calls.
"No, I don't think we have anything to say to each other. Don't call again."
Chen Fan replied and then blocked Su Yingxia's number.
This finally brought him some peace.
He then went inside to have dinner.
Meanwhile, outside the car at the Su family's old residence, Su Yingxia was so angry she wanted to smash her phone.
The indifferent tone wasn't an act; it was genuinely cold and heartless.
Hatred churned within Su Yingxia.
If Third Uncle hadn't wanted that item, would she have had to make this call, begging him humbly?
Her current situation of being divorced twice and having nothing was all thanks to this guy.
However, she still had to find a way to get that item back.
She gritted her teeth and dialed the number again.
The notification indicated that Chen Fan had blocked her.
She almost exploded with rage.
"Chen Fan, you loser, a mere watchdog, how dare you block me?"
If anyone was to block anyone, it should have been her blocking this loser Chen Fan.
Angrily putting away her phone, she got out of the car.
Looking at the bustling Su family ancestral home, she felt a sense of worry again.
Forcing a smile, she walked into the main hall of the ancestral home, looking for a place to sit.
To her surprise, Su Yuhua suddenly beckoned her over.
She walked over with a guilty conscience.
Su Yuhua stood up and announced, "I will now declare that the Su Group will be led by Yingxia as its president from now on. Within the next two days, as soon as my investment company is established, I will inject one hundred million yuan into the Su Group's account. Yingxia, do a good job!"
Su Yingxia froze for a moment, her heart filled with immense surprise and joy.
The other members of the Su family also erupted, applauding loudly.
Some felt a twinge of discomfort, but Su Yingxia was indeed one of the more outstanding among the younger generation of the Su family, so the decision wasn't entirely abrupt.
Father and Mother Su were both excited and beaming with joy, unable to contain their smiles.
