CHAPTER 39: CHAPTER 39: YOUR SON IS CONSTANTLY EYEING MY WIFE

Hearing Lu Xiao’s question, Jiang Lan took a sharp breath and immediately shook her head.

"No need, no need."

"Please, Mr. Lu, just take a seat."

Seeing Jiang Lan’s reaction, Xu Baiye’s face turned ashen, his eyes full of terror.

Just what kind of background does Lu Xiao have?

Why does it feel like the Pavilion Master is trying to please him in every possible way?

Damn it, Xu Tian, what kind of trouble have you brought back to me?

At this moment, Xu Tian finally came to his senses, his mind buzzing.

It seems even the Pavilion Master is trying to curry favor with Lu Xiao...

We, on the other hand, just tried to kill Lu Xiao.

We’re going to die, both my father and I.

"Hu Sheng, what are you standing there for? Fetch a stool for your Pavilion Master, don’t you have any sense of service!" Lu Xiao yelled at Hu Sheng again.

This kid is unbelievable; after all, Jiang Lan is your life-saver, at least do something.

"Ah? Right, right."

"I’ll fetch it now."

Hu Sheng looked around and saw that there didn’t seem to be any extra chairs in the courtyard.

Then, without further ado, Hu Sheng gave Xu Tian a kick that sent him flying, and scurried to place the chair beside Lu Xiao.

"Pavilion Master, please have a seat."

Jiang Lan hadn’t expected Hu Sheng to place the chair so close to Lu Xiao.

But she couldn’t refuse to sit; what if refusing angered Lu Xiao?

Last night, she had used a lot of resources to investigate Lu Xiao’s identity.

Although she didn’t get any concrete results, she learned one thing: there are even stronger people above the Divine List.

Combining this with Lu Xiao’s attitude towards Arthur, the second on the Divine List, it’s very likely that Lu Xiao is a presence that surpasses the Divine List.

How could White Clothes Pavilion possibly provoke him?

As soon as Jiang Lan took a seat, Lu Xiao caught a faint scent.

It was like some kind of floral fragrance, but he couldn’t identify which flower.

"Pavilion Master, I was wrong!"

"Mr. Lu, I was wrong!" Xu Baiye had already flung himself forward, kneeling on the ground and repeatedly admitting his fault.

Xu Baiye understood that if he didn’t admit his wrongdoing now, he might not get another chance.

"Mr. Lu, I can handle the Xu Family and will surely give you a satisfactory answer." Before Lu Xiao could speak, Jiang Lan had already started making promises.

Although the Xu Family was somewhat useful to White Clothes Pavilion, no matter how useful, they had to be eliminated if they offended Lu Xiao.

Hearing Jiang Lan’s words, Xu Baiye nearly collapsed.

The Pavilion Master’s intention was clear, the entire Xu Family was to be erased.

"Asheng, take these father and son down first." Jiang Lan glanced at Hu Sheng again.

Lu Xiao turned his head to look at Jiang Lan; she was decisive and ruthless, a person capable of doing big things.

"Fighting and killing isn’t nice." Hu Sheng was about to make a move when Lu Xiao spoke softly.

Xu Baiye was so frightened his eyes nearly popped out; just a moment ago, he had even smelled the scent of death.

If it weren’t for Lu Xiao’s sudden interjection, he might have already been finished.

"Family Head Xu, do you want to live?" Lu Xiao looked towards Xu Baiye.

Xu Baiye nodded frantically, "Whatever you say, Mr. Lu, as long as I can do it, I will!"

Lu Xiao pointed to Xu Tian, who was lying on the ground groaning.

"Your son has been eyeing my wife day after day, Family Head Xu you should know that, right?"

Xu Baiye swallowed hard, of course he knew.

The pursuit of Qin Youling by Xu Tian was initially at his behest.

"Mr. Lu, I... I will break this fool’s legs and make him stay in the villa for the rest of his life," Xu Baiye said through clenched teeth.

Now, that was all he could do.

"That won’t be necessary." Lu Xiao shook his head, "Send him to Pingshan Village, just make sure I never see him again."

Jiang Lan was surprised, Lu Xiao was so magnanimous?

But she quickly understood Lu Xiao’s intentions; using Xu Tian as a hostage, he could better control Xu Baiye.

As for Xu Baiye, having established such an empire in Hai City, he was naturally cunning and immediately grasped Lu Xiao’s intentions.

However, he couldn’t refuse, nor would he refuse.

In the current situation, Lu Xiao’s request was actually quite generous.

"Yes, Mr. Lu, I will send someone to take him away immediately."

"There’s one more thing."

"Please speak, Mr. Lu."

"Absolute control over both Qin Department Store and Qin Real Estate, I want it all."

Upon hearing Lu Xiao’s words, Xu Baiye almost cursed out loud, is this not toying with me?

If you want me dead, just say it directly; why go through such a roundabout way?

My Xu Family is only a second or third-tier power in Hai City, scraping any small benefit from the Qin Family is a victory; taking over the entire Qin Department Store and Qin Real Estate, that’s a joke!

"Mr. Lu, I really can’t..."

"I’ll give you thirty billion; can you take it with that?" Lu Xiao didn’t even give Xu Baiye a chance to refuse.

Xu Baiye thought for a moment, still shaking his head.

The market value of Qin Department Store and Qin Real Estate was very high, and now everyone was watching.

Thirty billion to tear off a big chunk was possible, but taking control, that’s a pipe dream.

"How much will be enough?" asked Lu Xiao.

"At least... on the scale of one hundred billion."

"Fine, then one hundred billion." Lu Xiao nodded, then pointed at Qin Kai, "Discuss the specifics with Qin Kai, he has the money."

Xu Baiye was incredulous, his mouth gaping, then he laughed bitterly and shook his head.

It turned out that everything was under Lu Xiao’s control.

All the apparent animosity and life-and-death struggles between Qin Kai and Lu Xiao, it was all an act! All a deception!
