Shang Binde's words were aggressive, his attitude extremely arrogant.
Xiao Yunlong couldn't help but chuckle, as if he had heard the greatest joke. As the Zhenbei King of the Dragon Kingdom, no one had ever dared to speak to him like this in person.
"The Shang family, a fine Shang family!" Xiao Yunlong laughed repeatedly.
"Kid, the influence of our Su City Shang family is far beyond your imagination. I've investigated you and know you have some skills, but with your caliber, you're only fit to be a kept man. Opposing my Shang family, you won't even know how you died!"
After speaking, Shang Binde immediately turned to Liang Youming and said coldly, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and bring Chen Ruimin here."
Liang Youming naturally didn't move. Instead, he turned to look at Xiao Ru Long. He knew Xiao Yunlong's true identity. Let alone Shang Binde, even Shang family's elder who held an important position in the Provincial Supervisory Department in Jiangdong would have to kneel before Xiao Yunlong.
Therefore, Liang Youming scoffed at Shang Binde's outburst and arrogance, even feeling a hint of pity for him.
Liang Youming thought the Zhenbei King was about to erupt, but at this moment, Xiao Yunlong nodded, "Alright, bring Chen Ruimin up."
Liang Youming no longer hesitated and immediately turned to leave. Soon, he returned with Chen Ruimin, who was handcuffed. He waved the two junior inspectors who entered with him away, as it was better not to let irrelevant people know about the current situation.
Seeing this, Shang Binde grinned, a look of triumph on his face. "Very good, you're quite sensible, kid!"
Chen Ruimin, who had been shaved bald and looked disheveled, roared, "Boss Shang, you're finally here! It's him, this brat surnamed Xiao! I was almost successful in completely taking control of the Liu family group, but it all failed because of him!"
Shang Binde snorted coldly, "Chen Ruimin, you're too useless. If my Shang family hadn't supported you all these years, helping you secure a large amount of business resources, you wouldn't have been able to become the general manager of the Liu family group so smoothly. To think you can't even handle such a small matter!"
Liu Ruyan suddenly understood when she heard this. No wonder Chen Ruimin had been so successful all these years. Others couldn't secure his business, but he could manage it as soon as he took action. Orders that the group couldn't reach were smoothly signed as soon as he stepped forward, so smoothly it was almost unbelievable.
It turned out that the Shang family had been secretly pulling the strings all along, or rather, Chen Ruimin was merely a pawn in the Shang family's hands.
Thinking of this, Liu Ruyan's expression suddenly changed. If that were the case, hadn't the Shang family been planning to annex their Liu family for a long time?
Chen Ruimin gritted his teeth and roared, "This guy surnamed Xiao is just a useless live-in son-in-law of the Liu family. He acts recklessly just because he has some skills. This time, he almost ruined the Shang family's major plans. Boss Shang, we absolutely cannot let him off lightly!"
Shang Binde said with a cold smile, "This kid is quite sensible. We'll let him off this time. Listen up, kid surnamed Xiao. Remember to hand over the shares that originally belonged to Chen Ruimin. As for the other shareholders, I will persuade them later!"
"Chen Ruimin, let's go!" Shang Binde said, waving his hand, and immediately turned to leave.
Xiao Yunlong stood with his hands behind his back, saying coldly, "Leaving already? Did you ask for my permission!"
Shang Binde stopped directly, without turning his head, and said in a deep voice, "Kid, what do you mean by this?"
Seeing this, Liang Youming thought to himself that it was finally going to erupt. How could the dignified Zhenbei King of the Dragon Kingdom allow someone to boss him around!
Xiao Yunlong looked at him and sneered, "A mere young member of the Shang family dares to order me around? You truly don't know your place! Chen Ruimin is responsible for multiple lives, and the evidence is conclusive. Let alone your Shang family, even if the Emperor himself came, he would have to die!"
As his voice fell, Xiao Yunlong reached out and grabbed Chen Ruimin by the neck.
Chen Ruimin struggled frantically, but how could he break free?
"You dare, kid surnamed Xiao! I warn you not to mess around, or you will surely die!" Shang Binde was furious.
"Still warning me? Very good, I will kill him in front of you today. Let's see what you can do to me!"
As his voice fell, Xiao Yunlong's right hand exerted force.
With a cracking sound, Chen Ruimin's neck snapped. His eyes were wide open, and even in death, he couldn't believe Xiao Yunlong dared to kill him.
"Damn it, you dare to kill him? You killed him right in front of me, how dare you!" Shang Binde roared, his fists clenched tightly.
Xiao Yunlong threw Chen Ruimin's body at his feet and said with a cold snort, "You must also think I don't dare to kill you, right?"
Shang Binde gritted his teeth, veins bulging. He endured and endured, but ultimately dared not make a move.
"Kid surnamed Xiao, you have guts. We'll see!" Shang Binde said with a cold snort and turned to leave.
Because the short-haired youth in front of him was too calm, so calm that he couldn't see through him. For safety's sake, Shang Binde decided to endure for now.
"Stop! You want to leave after making threats? Do you really think I'm just a decoration?" Xiao Yunlong shouted coldly.
"You scoundrel, if I don't show my power, you really think I'm a sick cat!"
Shang Binde finally exploded. He stomped his foot, and his entire body shot forward like a cannonball, throwing a punch directly at Xiao Yunlong's forehead.
As a minor master of internal energy, his vital energy erupted, causing the entire office to surge with wind, rustling the money tree in the corner. His punch was powerful.
Xiao Yunlong stood in place, unmoving, not even looking at him.
As the opponent's fist was about to land, he swiftly threw a punch to meet it.
Fists collided, and with a thud, Shang Binde was sent flying straight back.
The powerful impact directly smashed the door to pieces. As he fell to the ground, Shang Binde spewed out a mouthful of blood. His right arm hung limply, indicating it was likely broken.
The loud noise immediately alerted the inspectors on duty outside. They rushed to the corridor to watch, their faces filled with shock.
After all, Shang Binde was from the wealthy Shang family. This Xiao Yunlong even dared to hit him, he was too fierce!
"Listen, if there's a next time, it won't just be a broken hand!" Xiao Yunlong coldly snorted.
Shang Binde no longer dared to be arrogant. After all, he was also a martial artist. The brief exchange had made him realize that the young man in front of him was truly not simple.
Staggering to his feet, Shang Binde endured the pain of his broken arm and left in embarrassment.
Only when he got outside did Shang Binde's pig-like roar come through, "Kid surnamed Xiao, I've noted this debt today. In Su City, no one has ever dared to be so rude to my Shang family. We'll see!"
Xiao Yunlong completely ignored his threats. He turned to Liu Ruyan and said, "How is it? Weren't you scared just now?"
Liu Ruyan glanced at Chen Ruimin's corpse on the ground and said, "No, this scoundrel killed my parents. I've been hoping for his death for a long time. He deserved to die!"
"Liang Youming, handle the aftermath!" Xiao Yunlong instructed, then took Liu Ruyan's hand and left directly.
The inspectors on duty filled the stairwell and lobby. Everyone watched quietly as Xiao Yunlong and Liu Ruyan left. No one dared to speak, but many people were thinking that this guy surnamed Xiao had now completely made an enemy of the Shang family, and the Shang family would never let it go. There would likely be good shows to watch next.
It was already dark when they left the Supervisory Bureau. Xiao Yunlong drove back to the Liu family manor. Liu Ruyan didn't speak during the journey, seemingly thinking of her deceased adoptive parents, appearing somewhat dejected.
"The dead cannot be brought back to life. Now that we have avenged them, it can be considered closure," Xiao Yunlong comforted her.
Unexpectedly, Liu Ruyan said, "No, Brother Xiao. Although Chen Ruimin was the executioner, the real mastermind was the Shang family. My parents' revenge is only half-fulfilled!"
Xiao Yunlong was somewhat surprised that she could say such a thing. It seemed that the experiences during this period had gradually made this originally timid girl stronger.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yunlong said, "You're right. If the Shang family dares to provoke or retaliate next, I will no longer hold back and will avenge your parents!"
Liu Ruyan nodded, "But Brother Xiao, you still need to be careful. After all, the Shang family is one of the three ancient aristocratic families in Su City and has great influence, especially with an elder in the Provincial Supervisory Department holding an important position!"
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!" Xiao Yunlong smiled faintly, then stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped away.
They returned to the Liu family manor around seven in the evening. Although the two had been out all day, Liu Hongguo didn't ask much. After all, with Xiao Yunlong around, no one in Su City could threaten them, so there was naturally nothing to worry about.
"You're back. I've already ordered the servants to prepare the meal, and it's being kept warm. I'm in a good mood today, how about we have a drink, Mr. Xiao?" Liu Hongguo said with a smile.
"If Old Master Liu has this inclination, I am naturally happy to accompany you!" Xiao Yunlong smiled.
"Alright, let's be seated!" Liu Hongguo waved his hand.
The three then walked towards the dining hall. Several servants served dishes one after another, and soon the table was filled with a sumptuous feast.
"Go, bring out that bottle of Shaoxing Nv Er Hong that I've cherished for many years. Today, I want to have a few drinks with Mr. Xiao!" Liu Hongguo ordered.
"Yes, Master!" The butler responded and retreated. Soon, he came out with a bottle of aged wine.
After breaking the seal, the room was instantly filled with the aroma of wine.
"Pour for Mr. Xiao first!" Liu Hongguo called out.
He seemed genuinely happy. Firstly, the group had been saved from crisis, and Liu Hongguo had regained control. Secondly, he had found the murderers of his eldest son and daughter-in-law, which had resolved a burden. Of course, all of this was thanks to Mr. Xiao.
Liu Hongguo raised his wine glass, about to propose a toast, when suddenly several cars sped towards them from outside and directly rushed into the courtyard, appearing aggressive.
Xiao Yunlong raised his eyebrows, wondering if it was the Shang family who had come looking for trouble. Their actions were too quick!
