Chapter 656: Chapter 656: Xiaoyun Group as a Dowry!

Mentioning this matter, Xiao Wu was filled with hatred.

Their Xiao Family had indeed been in decline for a century, but after all, even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse—they still had a bit of a foundation these years.

The Xiaoyun Group, owned by the Xiao Family, had been developing extremely well.

Twenty years ago, the Xiao Family even had dozens of clan members.

At that time, Grandma made a wrong decision and sent a trusted aide to manage the Xiaoyun Group. After gaining control of the Xiaoyun Group, the person used its financial power to hire many experts to rebel, launching a siege against the Xiao Family.

In that bloody slaughter, Grandma, with the protection of family members, fought desperately to escape with the two sisters, who were still in swaddling clothes, leaving behind a glimmer of hope for the Xiao Family lineage.

The rest of the Xiao Family members perished under the traitors’ blades!

“Our Xiao Family has indeed completely fallen and rejuvenation is hopeless. We can let go of this unrealistic notion.”

“But we must avenge the deep hatred of our parents and relatives, the sea of blood they left behind. We must seek revenge no matter what.”

“The two of us don’t have the power, but you do, Xu Qianli. As long as you are willing to help us with our revenge, we can promise to follow you for the rest of our lives.”

“Not just the two of us, but all of the Xiao Family’s remaining properties, including the Xiaoyun Group, will be yours.”

“This deal is very worthwhile, I beg you to agree to help us seek revenge… Please…”

Xiao Wu pleaded desperately, hoping that Xu Qianli would agree.

Her greatest wish in life was to revive the Xiao Family and to avenge her parents and family members.

Since reviving the Xiao Family was hopeless, her only wish was revenge. The enemies must die!

Xiao Mei said, “Family Head, master, from now on, we will be the most obedient dogs at your feet, but please take revenge for us!”

Xu Qianli spoke, “Alright, no need to kneel. Let me ask you, even if I help you take revenge, can you still reclaim the Xiaoyun Group? After all, twenty years have passed. Haven’t the traitors of your Xiao Family taken complete control of the Xiaoyun Group?”

Xiao Wu responded.

“If it were any other company, it would definitely have changed hands, but the Xiaoyun Group is different; it is truly a family property, with all the shares controlled by our Xiao Family, and the presidents from generation to generation were only in charge of managing it.”

“To take control of the Xiao Family’s property, there is only one person—each generation’s Family Head—holding the Family Head Token is enough to take charge.”

“And the only way to separate the Xiaoyun Group from the Xiao Family is to declare that the Xiao Family’s bloodline has been severed.”

“But in doing so, the Xiaoyun Group would be confiscated by the state treasury, and naturally, the traitor wouldn’t do such a thing.”

“Therefore, legally, the Xiaoyun Group still belongs to our Xiao Family. Just take the Family Head Token to reclaim it.”

“But sadly, the Family Head Token has been missing for twenty years. Coupled with the traitor managing the Xiaoyun Group for so many years, without sufficient strength, we don’t dare to show our faces, let alone shake his position in the Xiaoyun Group.”

Xiao Wu explained in detail the ownership of the Xiaoyun Group. She didn’t have the ability to take back the Xiaoyun Group, but she believed that Xu Qianli did.

From what she knew about him, Xu Qianli was not simple; perhaps he really had the ability to do it.

Xu Qianli fished out a cigarette, lit it up, and while smoking, he began to ponder over the affairs of Xiaoyun Group.

The headquarters of Xiaoyun Group was located in Wangdong Province, the largest enterprise in the province, known to everyone and envied by many who took pride in working there.

Xiaoyun Group’s business was diversified, ranging from real estate, finance, pharmaceuticals, department store retail, IT, gaming, to e-commerce—anything profitable, Xiaoyun Group had a stake in.

The president of Xiaoyun Group was no ordinary person. Not only was his wealth astonishing, but his network was extensive, and he was rumored to have married into a powerful family, his reach seemingly having no bounds.

Such a wealthy and influential figure had been at the helm of Xiaoyun Group for twenty years—to wrestle it from his grip would not be easy.

Of course, Xu Qian could utilize the forces of families like the Ye Family, Lan Family, and Zi Family to take forceful action, but that would be too domineering, inevitably leading to severe backlash.

Not to mention the president of Xiaoyun Group, just the thought of the various forces behind him—they would not agree easily, and plenty of enemies would certainly be made in the process.

And such a domineering move could potentially result in Xiaoyun Group being smashed and divided among various forces.

No, that wouldn’t work. A proper solution had to be found.

The key seemed to be something.

Xu Qianli said, “You say that holding the Family Head Token would allow us to take over Xiaoyun Group, but do you know how the Family Head Token was lost and where it might be?”

Xiao Wu replied, “The Family Head Token was originally in the hands of our grandmother. Twenty years ago, when our Xiao Family was attacked by traitors, she handed it to my aunt, telling her to take the Family Head Token and flee. The intention was that no matter which of us escaped, we could preserve a glimmer of hope for the family. Unfortunately, we later found out that my aunt died at the hands of the traitors. However, the traitors did not get the Family Head Token. An exhaustive search was made where my aunt died, but it was fruitless.”

Xu Qianli said, “Is it possible that the Family Head Token has fallen into the traitor’s hands and they are just pretending not to have it?”

Xiao Wu shook her head, “Impossible. If the Family Head Token was in his possession, he would have immediately found someone to impersonate a member of our Xiao Family to gain full control of Xiaoyun Group.”

“That makes sense.”

“So, the Xiao Family’s Family Head Token is indeed lost.”

“Since we can’t find the Family Head Token, we’ll have to figure out how to deal with the traitor.”

“However, with the Xiaoyun Group’s vast enterprise and the traitor’s enormous wealth and power, we must be very careful in how we approach this. Before I decide to take action, you two must not reveal your identities,”

Xu Qianli said.

Xiao Wu and Xiao Mei nodded in agreement; they understood their special status and dared not reveal their identities rashly.

Had they not fallen into Xu Qianli’s hands today, they would never have disclosed their true identities.

With the serious discussion over, Xu Qianli’s gaze landed on Xiao Wu and Xiao Mei, and he swallowed hard.

It had to be said, they were truly beautiful. Either one of them was first-class, let alone together—they were simply too tempting.

Xu Qianli reached out and pulled Xiao Wu towards him.

“I’m asking you, at the bar before, I landed a punch right on your chest. You should have been bruised. But when we were at the clothing store earlier, you didn’t have any injuries—how come?”

Xu Qianli remembered it clearly. When he had torn Xiao Wu’s clothes to inspect her, her chest indeed showed no sign of injury.

Xiao Wu spoke softly, “Responding to the Family Head, I have practiced our Xiao Family’s exclusive Qi Cultivation Technique to a certain level. My body’s self-healing ability is far stronger than that of an ordinary person, ten times so. Even though I took a punch from you, with my strong recovery power, the external injuries disappeared in no time. Um, please don’t touch me like that…”
