Section 55

"Ever since I listened to Teacher Wang's words, I have suddenly seen the light and resolved to shift my focus to my family…"

Xu Hao blinked at her.

"By the way… When does President Xu have time? I will treat you to a meal."

Wang Xueying's cheeks felt burning hot. Remembering how she had lectured Xu Hao earlier, she flurriedly changed the subject.

"You gave me such an expensive gift last time, and I haven't thanked you yet…"

"It's just a pen, what's so expensive about it?"

Xu Hao waved his hand.

"However, if it will make Teacher Wang feel at ease, then I simply must eat this meal…"

But——

He still had things to deal with today, so they agreed on a time.

"Go to Zheng Xuelin's home…"

Xu Hao instructed the secretary who was driving.

As a beast in human clothing and a major villain.

The company's second largest shareholder had passed away, so of course he had to go pay his respects.

When Xu Hao arrived, some relatives, friends, and business partners with relatively good relationships had already arrived at Zheng Xuelin's home…

A young man stood in the center of the crowd, looking haggard with an expression of pain on his face.

Seeing that young man, Xu Hao's pupils constricted.

…

Xu Hao had seen the name Zheng Feifan in Zheng Xuelin's documents.

He was his only son who had been separated for many years.

Good lord.

Solving a trouble, and provoking a protagonist?

As everyone knows, villains who kill the protagonist's parents always end up in miserable fates…

This protagonist's stats were simply too luxurious.

He wasn't someone he could afford to provoke right now.

Fortunately, he had always acted prudently and left no flaws.

It wouldn't be so easy for the protagonist to trace it to him…

But tracing it to him was only a matter of time.

He had to make preparations early.

"President Xu, you've come too?"

Hearing the voice coming from beside him, Xu Hao withdrew his gaze.

Turning his head to look, it was an old acquaintance, one of the former shareholders, Li Ping.

The several major shareholders had a good relationship.

Back when Xu Hao proposed acquiring shares at double the price, they were also the ones who discussed not selling…

"Mr. Zheng is the second largest shareholder of my company. When he came to the company to transfer his shares yesterday, we were still chatting happily. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, we would be separated by yin and yang."

Xu Hao's expression was complex, wearing a look of sighing with emotion.

"Who is to say otherwise? Chairman Zheng was still talking on the phone with me yesterday, truly the world is impermanent…"

Li Ping sighed.

"Right, that young man is…"

Xu Hao asked with feigned confusion.

"Him? His name is Zheng Feifan, Mr. Zheng's long-lost son. I've never heard of him before; he only rushed back yesterday after Mr. Zheng got into a car accident."

Li Ping had arrived earlier, and obviously she had already figured out the situation.

Pausing for a moment, her tone carried a hint of mockery.

"When Mr. Zheng was around, he looked forward to seeing this son every day, but he just wouldn't come back. As soon as he passed away, he couldn't wait to come back and inherit the family property…"

Xu Hao's heart stirred slightly. He didn't follow along with her words, but instead said understandingly.

"I see that he looks haggard; he probably didn't sleep all night. I can only say the timing was too unfortunate."

"Sigh… There is nothing more heartbreaking in life than a child wishing to support their parents, but the parents are no longer around…"

After some mourning, everyone had things to do and left one by one to bid farewell.

Xu Hao and Li Ping were also preparing to leave.

"You must be Feifan, right? Please accept my condolences regarding Mr. Zheng's affairs…"

"I am the chairman and president of Xu Group. This is my business card. You can call me if there is anything you need help with."

"Although Mr. Zheng transferred his shares and is no longer a shareholder of my company, our friendship is still there…"

Before leaving, Xu Hao came before Zheng Feifan and said politely.

"Thank you for Uncle Xu's concern…"

Seeing the name on the business card, Zheng Feifan said gratefully.

His hearing was astonishing; he had caught every word Xu Hao said for him just now.

He couldn't help but develop a bit more favorable impression of this charming uncle.

Xu Hao smiled, patted his shoulder, and left. After turning around, his expression became expressionless.

On the surface, he was playing along with you, but in his heart, he was thinking of how to play you to death.

A knife hidden in a smile, nothing more…

…

Not long after, the entire Zheng residence was empty of people.

Leaving only Zheng Feifan alone.

"Ah…"

He let out a shrill marmot howl.

Zheng Feifan squatted down, pain and remorse intertwining on his face.

In fact, he had returned to the country for several days already.

In his early years, he was abducted by traffickers, and after many twists and turns, he entered the underground world and became a mercenary.

Together with his good brother Liu Cheng, he established the Sirius Mercenary Group…

Who would have known that on their most recent mission, they encountered a traitor's backstab, and the entire Sirius Mercenary Group was almost completely wiped out.

His good brother Liu Cheng was heavily wounded and died in order to cover his escape.

Before dying, Liu Cheng tightly gripped his hand and said.

He had a fiancée, and originally planned to go back and get married after finishing this job, but unfortunately he would never get to see her again…

Asking his good brother to help take care of her.

After that betrayal, Zheng Feifan was disheartened and grew tired of the battlefield.

He resolved to return to the country to see his father and, by the way, take care of his brother's fiancée.

After returning to Shanghai, he first went to see his brother's fiancée, and found her stunningly breathtaking.

In order to better protect her, he interviewed to be a security guard at his brother's fiancée's company…
