144: Hello! I'm Qin Shi Huang!
Chapter 144: Hey! I'm Qin Shi Huang!
At the entrance to Tianhai City, far from the city.
As traffic came and went, a ragged figure appeared by the roadside.
A car sped past, splashing him with muddy water from the road.
Xiao Zhan was too late to dodge.
Covered in muddy water, he looked even more like a beggar.
Looking at the entrance sign for Tianhai City in the distance, Xiao Zhan's steps gradually halted, his eyes filled with excitement.
He's here, finally here!!
Tears streamed down his face in his heart; only he knew how difficult this journey had been.
In Yandu, he was practically alone.
He had barely any clothes left, let alone money.
These clothes he wore were picked from a pile of rags in a basement.
As for money, he hadn't found a single cent.
Originally, he wanted to call the Dragon King Palace, but he found that all phone numbers related to the Dragon King Palace were unreachable, as if everyone had vanished instantly.
But only he knew that the Dragon King Palace had been betrayed by Azure Dragon.
Afterward, he called the people in Tianhai City.
Even at this point, the first person he thought of was Wang Xue in that alley.
Although it was undeniable that Wang Xue was indeed a prostitute.
But Xiao Zhan, as the Dragon King, had to admit that he had developed some feelings for her.
However, as soon as he called, she immediately hung up.
Without any hesitation.
Then, he called the Liu Corporation, but was told that Liu Ruyan hadn't appeared for several days.
He instantly felt a faint sense of unease.
Sure enough, Ruyan was in trouble!
Was it ultimately because he wasn't strong enough?
Xiao Zhan clenched his fists, then called the Lin Family.
One must know that the Lin Family had also accepted his investment of billions of yuan.
To give him a few hundred yuan, if they weren't willing to help with such a small favor, it would mean they wanted the Lin Family to cease to exist!
However, as soon as he made the call.
"I am Xiao Zhan, CEO of War God Corporation. Transfer 500 yuan to me immediately, or I will wipe out your Lin Family another day..."
But to his surprise, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Lin Family member who answered the phone.
"CEO of War God Corporation, why don't you say you're Qin Shi Huang?"
"Still want 500 yuan? Go beg for food yourself!"
Then the other side hung up and blocked him.
In desperation, Xiao Zhan had no choice but to walk back to Tianhai City step by step.
He had thought about finding a ride along the way, but seeing his disheveled appearance, no car was willing to pick him up.
The reason he could reach Tianhai City so quickly was that he had hitched a ride on a freight truck for a long time.
"Lin Family! Huang Corporation, and Azure Dragon!"
"I won't let you off!"
Xiao Zhan's face was grim, his eyes incredibly cold, and his body was filled with murderous intent.
Since entering the Dragon King Palace and becoming the Dragon King through blood and sweat, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?
He would definitely repay it a hundredfold!
...
Meanwhile, within the Xiao Family.
Since the Xiao Family Head had become an imbecile who could only babble, the leaderless Xiao Family had to submit to the Huang Family.
The elders of the Xiao Family only knew how to eat, drink, and be merry, completely oblivious to the seriousness of the situation.
However, there were quite a few clear-headed people among them.
For example, Elder Uncle Xiao, as a brother of the former Xiao Family Head, should, by rights, have a very high status.
But due to certain reasons in his early years, he had always been out of power in the Xiao Family and could not speak up at all.
Although he knew that the Xiao Family submitting to the Huang Family would lead to its demise, no one listened to him.
"These people don't listen to me; the Xiao Family is bound to fall sooner or later!"
"That Xiao Zhan of War God Corporation is not a good person, but is the Huang Family any better?"
"I think the Xiao Family is finished!"
At noon, as Elder Uncle Xiao was in his room, drowning his sorrows with one drink after another.
Suddenly, the sound of the door opening interrupted his drinking.
"I didn't expect there to be such a clear-headed person in the Xiao Family."
A woman in black, with her face tightly veiled and an extremely alluring figure, walked forward.
Her voice was extremely pleasant, and based solely on her voice and figure, it was not difficult to guess that the woman before him must possess an exquisitely beautiful and captivating face.
"Who are you?"
Although many of the Xiao Family elders were extremely decadent, Elder Uncle Xiao was different.
The moment he saw the woman's strange attire and sudden appearance, he became vigilant!
One must know that he also lived within the Xiao Family manor.
His residence was a detached villa.
Both the manor and the area around the villa were guarded by special personnel, making it impossible for ordinary people to enter.
For this woman to appear here.
Either someone deliberately arranged it, or she had ill intentions!
But neither of these was what Elder Uncle Xiao hoped for.
Seeing Elder Uncle Xiao's vigilance, unlike those elders who would immediately show a lecherous expression upon seeing her, Xiao Feng was deeply moved.
Indeed, Elder Uncle Xiao was not that kind of person.
When he was in the Xiao Family, influenced by others, he had no good feelings for this often silent Elder Uncle.
Especially after hearing about some things from earlier years.
But he never expected that, at this point, the vast Xiao Family would only have this one person left who was willing to consider the Xiao Family's future.
"I am sent by Young Master Xiao."
Xiao Feng said, pretending to be cold.
After all, he was in a woman's body now, and if this Elder Uncle Xiao saw him in his current state.
Who knew what kind of accident might happen?
So, it was better to be cautious before everything was settled.
"Young Master Xiao, you mean Xiao Feng!"
Hearing that name, Elder Uncle Xiao suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with ecstasy, yet also a hint of doubt.
"Is he really still alive?"
Xiao Feng nodded, and to dispel his Elder Uncle's suspicion, he took out a document.
"This is what Young Master Xiao personally asked me to give to you."
Elder Uncle Xiao took the document with a suspicious look and began to read it; it was a letter.
Looking at the handwriting, he immediately believed about eighty percent of it.
"Yes, yes, this is his handwriting!"
He had definitely watched Xiao Feng grow up and knew everything about Xiao Feng.
How could he not recognize his handwriting?
The letter slowly began to recount.
Xiao Feng made several excuses for himself in the letter.
The reason he couldn't return was that he had allied with a certain big shot overseas and couldn't come back for the time being.
He could only reclaim the Xiao Family first.
As for other trivial matters, he played on emotions more.
But this tactic was surprisingly effective on Elder Uncle Xiao.
Elder Uncle Xiao read it with tears streaming down his face.
He then carefully placed the letter in his drawer, and after calming down for a while, he looked at Xiao Feng.
