The principal took a sip of tea and said slowly,
"Xuan Lang is the fourth son of Xuan Heyi, the largest shareholder of Tianxuan Group."
"And his mother was the first female War God in the history of Caihua City, Zeng Yiyao."
As soon as the principal finished speaking, a teacher exclaimed, "I remember! I saw that report when I was young!"
Some of the other teachers had heard of it, but the younger ones did not know about it.
The principal nodded and continued, "When Xuan Heyi was young, he left Caihua City and encountered a large-scale invasion by Black Star Walkers. He was saved by Zeng Yiyao, who was in her prime."
"Later, Xuan Heyi, ignoring his family's objections, divorced his first wife and married Zeng Yiyao."
The young female teacher who had just asked the question instantly looked disappointed and said, "I thought it was a story about a prince and a princess. His father is such a beast."
An older teacher sitting next to him said, "But his ex-wife received a large amount of assets! And her children are Xuan Wei and Xuan Lie. Xuan Wei is currently the actual successor of the Xuan family. The future head of the Xuan family."
The principal nodded and said, "That's right. When Xuan Lang was ten years old, his mother passed away due to illness. Later, his father married other women."
Another older teacher sitting next to the principal said, "I saw that report. Zeng Yiyao's death was unclear."
The young female teacher suddenly looked at a male teacher and excitedly asked, "Teacher He Yan, you are also from Shangcheng, do you know?"
He Yan shook his head and smiled, "Do you think everyone in Shangcheng is equal? There are ranks there too."
"My shame as a Shangcheng person is not enough to reach the prominent Xuan family."
"That is a true influential family."
The principal smiled and said, "It is said that after Zeng Yiyao's death, Xuan Lang's status in the family plummeted. It became even more impossible for him to become the head of the Xuan family. At most, they would let him inherit a few companies and live a life of idleness."
Another teacher shook his head and said, "If Xuan Heyi dies, Xuan Lang will likely become an abandoned child and be expelled from the Xuan family."
"Influential families are very protective of their assets, many covet them, and they are full of conspiracy."
The principal said, "We don't need to worry about that. But for now, Xuan Lang still has some financial means."
The female teacher said thoughtfully, "Life in an influential family is not easy. Alas, ordinary people live more comfortably, without money, without worries, and without care."
He Yan suddenly said, "But I heard that Xuan Wei's health is not very good..."
As soon as he spoke, it was like a stone being thrown into a calm lake.
The principal asked, "Is that true?"
He Yan nodded, staring at the pen in his hand, and said, "Well, I heard it's 'Leiti Syndrome.' His family's biological company has been secretly researching drugs, but the results are not ideal."
As soon as they heard the words "Leiti Syndrome," the other teachers instantly understood.
Leiti Syndrome is a very rare and fatal disease.
The Divine General bestowed the universal material "Leiti" upon humans,
And at the same time, brought this terminal illness to the human world.
People suffering from "Leiti Syndrome" will have their immunity continuously decline for the first three years, unable to resist any external bacteria or viruses, until death.
With current biological and medical technology, once contracted, there is no cure.
In this world, humanity has conquered countless diseases,
Conquered aging, and life expectancy can extend to 150 years,
Yet they are still troubled by this mysterious disease.
The principal said in a low voice, "In that case, the Xuan family will definitely experience a long period of turmoil in the future."
He Yan said, "Xuan Lie is a typical spoiled rich kid, who commits all sorts of evil deeds. His reputation in Shangcheng is extremely poor."
"Xuan Wei, Xuan Lang's sister, although married, her husband is from the He family, and the He family's financial strength is also extraordinary."
"Xuan Ai, the youngest daughter born to Xuan Heyi's third wife, is only nine years old."
Another older teacher said, "In other words, Xuan Lang will participate in the competition for the head of the Xuan family."
The principal shrugged, as if detached from the situation, and smiled, "It's other people's business. Let's just watch. It's getting late, the morning meeting is over, everyone get back to work."
...
Xuan Lang came out of the principal's office and dialed a number, saying, "Three things."
"First, go to the family's biological company to get the newly developed 'Leiti Syndrome' drug, send it to the home of Wei Chuanyi, a shareholder of Wei Qiao Group in Xia Cheng, and explain the reason."
"Second, as planned, help the Jiang family out of their economic entanglement."
"Third, organize people, notify the training ground supervisor, and have the ordered mecha spare parts delivered. We will start the first step of the plan."
"Understood. Young master, I heard that Xuan Wei's condition has worsened, and he may not have much time left."
"Mm," Xuan Lang replied softly, "Understood."
After speaking, Xuan Lang hung up the communication, his face unable to hide his smile.
But before leaving, he had to see someone else.
In the empty square below the girls' dormitory building, Xuan Lang met Wei Ping. Perhaps out of shyness, she had also brought Mei Shanli.
He said with a gentle and gentlemanly smile, "I'm sorry, I was too impatient yesterday and didn't consider your feelings."
"If I made you feel confused, please forgive me."
"I really, my personality makes me..."
Xuan Lang said, even showing a little shyness, "I'm sorry, Wei Ping."
Wei Ping blushed and lowered her head, saying, "You don't need to apologize. I'm already very grateful that you are willing to help me."
"It was my fault yesterday for leaving without a word."
At this moment, Mei Shanli, who had accompanied Wei Ping down, said with a mischievous smile, "Oh my, you're all adults, what are you being shy about! Wei Ping, you should be happy!"
Wei Ping lowered her head even further, saying, "I... I don't know how to face it, I'm sorry..."
Xuan Lang said gently and thoughtfully, "It's okay, just think of me as a very good friend, that will make you feel better."
"Later, I'll come pick you up."
Mei Shanli's eyes widened when she heard this, her mouth agape in disbelief, "You've progressed to this extent!"
Wei Ping nodded and agreed.
Xuan Lang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You look beautiful today, I'm looking forward to meeting you tonight."
After speaking, he turned and walked towards the luxurious suspended vehicle behind him. The vehicle started in front of them and silently flew into the sky.
Mei Shanli pulled Wei Ping and said, "Not bad! You're going to be a phoenix flying to a higher branch, don't forget me, your good sister!"
Wei Ping said shyly, "Not at all, it's just the beginning."
At this moment, Jiang Tingyue walked past, stopped to look at the suspended vehicle that had already flown far away, and then looked at the two of them.
Mei Shanli put her hands on her hips and said irritably, "Tingyue, you saw it too, Xuan Lang chose Wei Ping!"
"Stay away from Xuan Lang from now on!"
Jiang Tingyue turned her head, ignored her, and walked away.
Mei Shanli leaned next to Wei Ping and said, "Do you know? Jiang Tingyue has been getting quite close to Wei Yongji recently. I can't believe someone from Shangcheng would fancy someone from Xia Cheng!"
Wei Ping retorted at her impatiently, "What are you talking about!" and then ran away.
Mei Shanli chased after her, shouting, "I wasn't talking about you! Hey, wait for me, Wei Ping! Use my cosmetics to make yourself look beautiful, see you later, wink wink."
...
Xuan Lang boarded the unmanned luxury suspended vehicle and flew all the way to Shangcheng.
Through the giant cylindrical identity detection machine, the magnificent and beautiful Shangcheng was right before his eyes.
He had long been tired of everything he saw.
This city, from the day his mother died, had completely faded.
He knew, and understood very well, the reason for his mother's death.
But he didn't have the strength to vindicate his mother yet.
He had to be calm, ruthless, and unscrupulous.
At the same time, he had to be good at disguising himself.
Xuan Lang closed his eyes and made the car window opaque.
In the pitch-black interior of the car, Xuan Lang quietly contemplated every step of his future plan.
The car flew for about twenty minutes and slowly landed.
Xuan Lang leisurely stepped out of the car, looking past everything, and walked directly into the building in front of him.
This was the home of the only person who loved him and could protect him, his elder brother.
After his mother's death, he had been living here.
But from now on, it would no longer provide him with shelter.
The servants on both sides lowered their heads, afraid to look at him, but after he passed, they revealed expressions of disgust and contempt.
Xuan Lang knew the attitude of those servants, one face in front and another behind, but it didn't matter.
The luxurious decorations on both sides were like trash in his eyes. Cultural relics worth more than a luxurious villa in Xia Cheng were ignored by him.
He walked directly and steadily into Xuan Wei's bedroom.
"Big Brother!" Xuan Lang shouted with feigned grief, tears falling like fine rain. He lunged and fell to the ground, then got up and stumbled quickly to Xuan Wei's bedside.
Xuan Wei was lying alone on the large bed. His flowing black hair was scattered freely before his eyes, and his eyes were full of affection.
His pale skin and prominent cheekbones all announced that his vitality was rapidly draining away.
"Little Lang, you're here," Xuan Wei said weakly and happily.
Xuan Lang crawled to Xuan Wei's bedside, his tears falling uncontrollably.
"Alright, stop crying," Xuan Wei comforted him.
"Big Brother, what will I do after you're gone!" Xuan Lang cried in a low voice.
Xuan Wei laboriously picked up a document from the pillow and placed it on his body. He was too weak to hand it to Xuan Lang and said weakly, "I have an inheritance, don't worry, there's yours."
Xuan Lang shook his head desperately and said, "I don't want anything, I just want Big Brother to live well!"
Xuan Wei smiled, a low and mournful smile, "Little Lang, I understand you. You've actually been looking forward to this day coming sooner, haven't you? You will definitely participate in the competition for the head position."
"This gift is also to repay Aunt Zeng."
"After all, during the years Aunt Zeng was in the family, she didn't suppress me, but instead helped me a lot."
"Xuan Lang, the Xuan family is entrusted to you."
"You must protect our family's assets..."
...
Coming out of Xuan Wei's bedroom, Xuan Lang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. His face once again showed a sinister and intelligent expression.
But it was only for an instant.
The next second, he returned to calm and walked towards the main door.
The second step of the plan was very easy.
