“How much further to your place?”
“You’re not trying to trick me into a detour, are you?”
On a luxurious street in Shangjing City, a taxi sped along the road.
However, a young man seated in the back seat of the taxi was starting to feel a little displeased.
He coldly questioned the blond-haired driver in the front seat about why they hadn't arrived at their destination yet.
“Brother, what kind of talk is that!”
“How would I dare to trick you!”
“It’s just that our home is indeed a bit of a distance from the airport!”
“That’s why it’s taken so much time!”
“But we’re almost there!”
“Another kilometer ahead and we’ll be there!”
Hearing the words from the man in the back seat.
The blond-haired driver in the front quickly turned his head, forcing a smile.
He seemed to be afraid that the young man in the back might get angry.
Seeing this, the taxi driver also felt a bit curious.
What was the relationship between these two people!
But out of professional courtesy, he didn’t ask any more questions.
He simply followed the blond-haired driver’s directions and drove the car quickly to the entrance of a luxurious manor.
And on the large gate of the manor, two prominent characters were inscribed.
Baili!
“Brother, we’ve arrived!”
Looking at the family gate that was now within reach, Baili Lie suppressed the urge to bolt.
He reminded Zhou Xuan and the other person in the back seat.
Upon hearing Baili Lie’s words, Zhou Xuan merely nodded faintly.
Then, he took Lu Ling'er’s small hand and walked directly out of the taxi.
Heading towards the gate of the Baili family manor.
“Stop!”
“What are you doing here?”
“This is the private residence of the Baili family!”
“Unauthorized personnel are not allowed entry!”
Just as Zhou Xuan and Lu Ling'er reached the manor gate.
And were about to enter the manor through the gate.
Two security guards suddenly approached from the side.
They waved their hands, intending to drive Zhou Xuan and Lu Ling'er away!
“Damn it, are you blind!”
“Who do you think you’re blocking?”
“Are you tired of living?”
Looking at the two security guards with slightly arrogant expressions.
Before Zhou Xuan could even speak.
Baili Lie, who had just paid the taxi fare and was a step behind, suddenly emerged from behind Zhou Xuan and Lu Ling'er.
He pointed at the two security guards in front of him and began to curse them vehemently.
At this moment, Baili Lie wished he could dig up the ancestors of these two security guards.
All eighteen generations of them, and curse them one by one.
Wasn’t this purely creating trouble for him!
What was the point of him being so quiet all the way here, acting like a subservient grandson?
Wasn’t it just to ensure his safe return home?
Now, as they were at his doorstep and his difficult days were about to end!
These two idiots suddenly jumped out and ruined everything.
If this offended Zhou Xuan, killing two morons would be a small matter.
If it implicated him, he would be truly wronged.
Therefore, while berating the two security guards, Baili Lie was not acting at all.
He was basically trying to appease Zhou Xuan in every way possible.
However, Baili Lie's outburst was clearly somewhat redundant.
This was because Zhou Xuan at this moment only wanted to enter the Baili family quickly to rescue someone.
He paid no attention to the attitude of these two security guards.
So, seeing Baili Lie still chattering on, spewing curses at the two security guards.
Zhou Xuan directly raised his hand and slapped Baili Lie, sending him flying a considerable distance.
“The current head of the Baili family, get out here!”
“I’ll give you three minutes to bring out all the Xu family members you kidnapped!”
“Otherwise, your Baili family will cease to exist!”
After sending Baili Lie flying with a slap, Zhou Xuan was too lazy to enter the gate.
He simply stood outside the manor, enveloping his voice with his true energy.
And issued a threat towards the inside of the manor.
Clearly, the people of the Baili family inside the manor heard Zhou Xuan’s voice.
So, not long after Zhou Xuan shouted.
A group of people from the Baili family, dressed in luxurious clothes, emerged from the manor gate.
And leading them was none other than Baili Yunshan, who had previously been asking for the opinions of the clan members in the hall!
“I am Baili Yunshan, the current head of the Baili family!”
“I presume this young friend is the expert that Little Lie mentioned on the phone earlier!”
“My apologies!”
“Please rest assured, young friend!”
“I have already assured Little Lie on the phone!”
“That I will no longer trouble that descendant of the Xu family!”
“It’s just that, before, that descendant was indeed quite seriously injured!”
“She is currently being arranged in the backyard, and I have invited a doctor to treat her injuries!”
“If young friend wishes to take her, why not come into my Baili family and rest for a moment!”
“After the doctor has treated the descendant’s injuries, it will not be too late for young friend to take her back!”
“And perhaps there is some misunderstanding between young friend and my Baili family!”
“This time, we might even be able to turn enemies into friends?”
Baili Yunshan, who had walked out of the manor, saw Zhou Xuan and Lu Ling'er standing at the gate at a glance.
Recalling what Old Ding had said in the hall earlier.
Baili Yunshan did not choose to act as his descendants had suggested in the hall earlier.
He decided to observe secretly first.
To see if Zhou Xuan’s strength was truly as terrifying as Old Ding had said.
And then decide how to approach Zhou Xuan.
“Stop the nonsense!”
“I have nothing to talk about with you!”
“And I don’t believe there is any misunderstanding between us!”
“Your people are trying to seize my territory and threaten my partners!”
“And now you have kidnapped my friend and severely injured her!”
“It’s already showing great restraint that I haven’t directly attacked and wiped out your Baili family upon meeting you!”
“That already counts as me being good-tempered!”
“The same goes for what I said earlier!”
“Within three minutes, if I don’t see my friend appear before me!”
“Then your Baili family will have no reason to exist!”
But unfortunately, no matter how cunning Baili Yuntian’s plan was.
It couldn’t overcome Zhou Xuan’s refusal to play by the rules.
Baili Yuntian thought that his attitude just now was already very friendly.
Even if Zhou Xuan had truly come to cause trouble.
At least after facing his set of remarks.
His attitude shouldn’t be too bad!
But what he never expected was.
That Zhou Xuan was truly a “straightforward” person who wouldn’t do any superficial work!
Upon facing his overtures of goodwill, not only did his attitude not soften at all.
It became even more aggressive.
This immediately annoyed Baili Yuntian.
He immediately disregarded Old Ding’s instructions from earlier.
With a cold sneer, he directly confronted Zhou Xuan head-on.
“Heh, since that’s the case!”
“Then young friend, please go back the way you came!”
“My Baili family does not have the friend young friend is looking for!”
