Chapter 292

He hated his own lack of strength.

He hated Xu Hao's unscrupulous methods.

A magnificent billionaire actually resorted to threats.

He was simply not human.

Could it be…

Was he going to be threatened and manipulated by Xu Hao like this for the rest of his life?

At the thought of living under Xu Hao's shadow for his entire life…

…being constantly forced to commit all kinds of illegal crimes…

…and even having to hand over any beautiful woman he liked to Xu Hao…

Li Xiao shuddered.

No…

He absolutely could not just sit and wait for his doom.

He had to increase his strength as quickly as possible.

He needed to secure his first pot of gold and build a business Empire.

Once he had enough strength…

…and his influence surpassed Xu Hao's, would Xu Hao still dare to threaten him?

When that time came, he would be the one manipulating Xu Hao.

Just as Li Xiao was lost in his own delusions…

…Chu Xiong arrived at the company.

He went straight to his wife Yao Xinrui's office.

Seeing Li Xiao dazing out, Chu Xiong called out to him.

"Xiao…"

Li Xiao snapped back to reality.

When he saw his big brother Chu Xiong standing in front of him, his heart skipped a beat.

Holy shit?!

Why did Big Brother come to Sister-in-law's company?

Heading straight for the office, he was clearly looking for her.

And right now—

Sister-in-law was currently having a wild, passionate roll in the hay inside the office.

If he barged in now, wouldn't he catch them red-handed?

Li Xiao could already picture Big Brother being so enraged that he died on the spot.

Entering the door only to see his own wife with his friend…

And he had even sent his trusted lackey to keep an eye on things.

In the end, this is how you fucking keep an eye on things?

The wife is inside playing with his good friend,

while you're outside keeping watch.

And when you see your big brother, you even help cover for them.

Even if Chu Xiong didn't die of anger,

it would take half his life away and land him in the ICU.

What should he do? What should he do?

Li Xiao frantically tried to think of a solution.

He didn't actually mind his big brother barging in

and seeing Xu Hao's true colors…

…leading to a fight to the death between the Chu Family and the Xu Family.

But… he was being threatened by Xu Hao.

With how ruthless Xu Hao was,

if he didn't help cover for him, Xu Hao would absolutely retaliate against him afterward.

So—

for the sake of his parents' and family's safety, he had no choice but to swallow his resentment and help.

Chu Xiong had arrived so suddenly.

Li Xiao couldn't think of how to handle it in time.

He could only say,

"Big Brother, why are you here?"

He raised his voice on the words "Big Brother,"

hoping the two inside the office would hear him

and quickly clean up and hide…

Sure enough—

The office went quiet for a split second.

But immediately after, they went right back to what they were doing.

In fact, the atmosphere became even more intense.

"I'm here to see Xinrui. Is she in her office?"

Chu Xiong said with a smile.

He was very satisfied with the performance of his trusted lackey.

Even when dazing off, he still stood guard outside his wife's office without leaving.

Such a dutiful and responsible lackey was hard to find nowadays.

Li Xiao's heart sank.

Big Brother really was here to see Sister-in-law.

This was trouble.

Even if Xu Hao and Sister-in-law cleaned up and hid,

some scent would still be left behind, right?

If Big Brother smelled it, they would still be done for.

Therefore, he absolutely could not let Big Brother enter the office.

Thus, he said,

"She is in the office, but…"

Li Xiao racked his brain and suddenly thought of an excuse.

"But Sister-in-law is taking a nap. She told me to watch outside and not let anyone disturb her."

He could only do this much.

If Big Brother had some urgent matter to discuss with Sister-in-law, there was nothing he could do.

"Taking a nap?"

Chu Xiong frowned slightly, but then his brow cleared.

"It's nothing major anyway. I'll just tell you, and you can pass it on to Xinrui later…"

Chu Xiong didn't have much affection for this wife of his.

But she was his stunningly beautiful wife after all.

Whenever he was exchanging business flatteries with others, they would always praise his wife and express their envy.

This inevitably made him feel quite proud of himself.

But at the thought of his own physical condition,

he couldn't help but sigh.

He regretted playing too hard in his youth and not knowing moderation.

Not knowing the value of one's manhood in youth, only to weep in vain at its uselessness in old age.

Therefore, when facing Yao Xinrui, he inevitably felt a sense of inferiority.
