71: Chapter 71 Gu Nan's Reprimand

"You really shouldn't be ungrateful."

Gu Nan suddenly said this out of the blue.

"What do you mean by that? How have I been ungrateful?"

Zhang Shan was left completely bewildered by Gu Nan.

"Right now, you're only thinking about the fact that Victor Anfei is dead and that things will be easier for you. But have you considered that the person who stepped up today was that Miss? You can't just forget about her right after using her. Now you are in the shadows, and she is in the light."

Gu Nan accurately tossed the apple core into the trash can.

"That Miss Xia handled this matter for you today. It's equivalent to pushing herself from behind the scenes to the forefront. Her level of danger has increased significantly. From today on, her life is under threat. Because you are under threat. Shouldn't you bear some of the consequences?"

Gu Nan was rarely this serious.

"You're right. I will send Zhang Si and the others to her side to protect her."

After saying this, he issued an order to Zhang Si and the others in the system, instructing them to protect Xia Wei in secret.

"Shan Zi, it's not that I'm criticizing you here. You really handled this matter very improperly. You shouldn't have pushed this woman to the front. After all, we don't even know who the enemy is right now. You were careless."

Zhang Shan didn't speak. This time, he felt that what Gu Nan said was absolutely correct.

Across the ocean.

"Boss, everything has been taken care of." A man with a large scar on his face reported.

"Good, as long as it's done." A handsome-looking man looked up. Although he was smiling, the smile was somewhat terrifying.

He really felt that Victor Anfei was a piece of trash. He didn't know what he had been thinking back then, believing that he had the ability to handle matters in Zhili Country. He didn't expect that a mere Robinson would make him lose control to this extent. It was truly too disappointing.

And that woman. She shouldn't be underestimated either. Daring to step out and block, she certainly has a lot of courage.

"Boss, you don't need to be angry. Although we lost two pawns, we now know who is pulling the strings behind the scenes. I think this loss is worth it." The man said indifferently.

"Brother Duan, you mean..." The handsome-looking person looked at him with a smile.

"Exactly, you thought correctly. Everyone's goal is basically the same; we all want to dominate the world, so having a few people act as scapegoats is not bad either. Boss, never underestimate a person. Have you forgotten when we underestimated that kid Zhang Shan? But what was the end result? He still got away. To this day, we haven't found a trace of him."

At the mention of Zhang Shan, the man's expression changed slightly.

"You're right. That Zhang Shan looks unremarkable. Who knew he would be the one posing the biggest threat to us? But I feel he won't be able to hide for much longer. Slowly, he will reveal his true colors."

Around Zhili Country, there is a cluster of villa areas. The villas occupy a large area and are built very beautifully. European-style gardens stretch out in patches, looking like a paradise on earth.

In the center of the villas, there is a huge fountain. The decorations on the fountain are all made of gold. This is enough to show how wealthy the people living here are.

At this moment, a sedan stopped in the plaza in front of the villa. A middle-aged man walked out of the sedan. He hurried into the villa's hall.

"It's bad, it's bad."

The old man put down the watering can he was using to water the flowers.

"Little Wang, I've told you before. No matter what happens, we must stay calm. Why are you in such a rush?"

The old man looked at the middle-aged man with slight annoyance.

This middle-aged man was none other than Victoria's butler. At this moment, hearing the old man's words, he quickly replied.

"Something big has happened, something big has happened. Quickly, let me see Elder Xu."

"The Master is resting. Has something truly big happened?" the old man asked curiously.

"Yes, something big has happened, something big has happened!" Victoria's butler nodded. Although he was becoming impatient, he really couldn't afford to offend this butler. This person was Elder Xu's confidant. He had been following Elder Xu since back when Elder Xu had no money, rendering great service to him. Eventually, because Elder Xu didn't want to deal with affairs in the martial arts world anymore, he followed Elder Xu and became Elder Xu's butler.

Victoria's butler looked at the old man with some difficulty. He really didn't dare to offend Elder Xu, but today's matter needed to be made known to him. So, even if it meant disturbing him, he had to say it.

The old man signaled him to wait a moment while he went to wake up Elder Xu.

Victoria's butler was anxious to death, but he could only continue to wait.

"Little Wang, what is it? Why are you coming to see me in such a rush?"

Victoria's butler said hurriedly, "Elder Xu, our master, our master has died."

Xu Yi was a little surprised. "Wasn't he perfectly fine a few days ago? How did he die after just a few days?" Xu Yi said indifferently.

Victoria's butler was a bit angry. After all, his master was his son-in-law. But what was with that indifferent expression? It seemed like he didn't care about his son-in-law at all.

"Doesn't Elder Xu care about how your son-in-law died?"

"If you want to say it, just say it yourself. If you don't want to say it, I don't want to ask. I don't want to deal with disputes in the martial arts world anymore."

Butler Wang clenched his fists. He really didn't expect Elder Xu to say such a thing.

He took a few deep breaths, telling himself to continue.

"Ever since... after the master lost his son and then the madam was injured, the master's mood was very bad. He was hell-bent on taking revenge on Robinson. But every attempt to take revenge on Robinson failed. He was defeated time and time again. Then he teamed up with Miss Xia Wei, saying they would take down Robinson together."

"But unexpectedly, Miss Xia Wei and Robinson were working together. Not only did they take away 50% of the master's shares, but they also drove the master out of the position of executive president. Then, the master was overcome with rage and frustration. He put poison in a cup, intending to kill Miss Xia Wei. But she saw through the master's trap. Miss Xia Wei had her subordinates injure the master."

"Then she had the police take the master away. But unexpectedly, after the master arrived at the police station, a few hours later, someone came to notify us that the master had died."

At this point, Victoria's butler was already sobbing uncontrollably.

Upon hearing this news, Xu Yi still had an indifferent expression.

"I told him long ago. That Robinson is not someone to be trifled with. He refused to listen. Now that he has ended up in this state, he brought it upon himself. No one could have saved him."

Xu Yi said in a cold tone.

"Doesn't Elder Xu feel even a little bit of sadness? After all, he is your son-in-law."

Butler Wang accused him with dissatisfaction.
