Chapter 115

After beating someone, Xiao Yunzhe snorted disdainfully at Zhu Luo and left.

"Young Master Zhu..." after a long while, Zhu Luo's attendant stepped forward and tentatively called out; this person was exactly the man who was with Zhu Luo when he was chasing Xiao Yunzhe before.

At this moment, that man also broke out in a cold sweat from shock.

Unexpectedly, Young Master Zhu this time would fall into the hands of such an insignificant kid, and moreover, he fell so badly.

"Finished, it seems this time my Zhu Family is really finished."

Zhu Luo despondently muttered as he got up, despondently glanced at those young masters in the room, finally said nothing, and left in a dejected manner.

He worried about the situation at home, and after going out, he hurried back home.

He immediately went to inquire about all the circumstances, and finally found out who he had provoked.

Zhu Luo's father, after being sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, finally saved his life; from the incident to now, only a few hours have passed, yet Zhu Luo's father suddenly grew many white hairs, aging about ten years in less than a night.

After waking up, he hurriedly called his son back.

"Do you now know who you have provoked?" Zhu Luo's father asked.

Zhu Luo's father is now over sixty; before this, his life had been relatively smooth, earning money hand over fist, but he never expected that, at an age near retirement, he would provoke a big shot and, overnight, be sent back to before liberation; all his struggles went down the drain.

"Dad, sorry, it's all my fault." Zhu Luo despairingly said to his father, looking at the painstakingly gathered information in his hand: "Xiao Ming, is a person named Xiao Ming."

"The cause is likely related to his son; a few days ago I met someone named Xiao Yunzhe, intending to bring him to our establishment as before, but I didn't expect to capsize this time." Zhu Luo recounted the whole incident to his father.

Zhu Luo's father, hearing this, exclaimed in surprise: "Xiao Ming? Actually Xiao Ming? That's a devil-like figure."

He is on extremely good terms with the biggest ruler of Xilin gambling industry, Wu Tianming of the Wu family, like blood brothers; he also holds certain shares in several other gambling houses in Xilin; this person acts extremely low-key, not ostentatious, so few people know him; I never expected that the person you provoked would be him. Zhu Luo's father, hearing this, fell into utter despair.

This is obvious: that Xiao Yunzhe is Xiao Ming's person; knowing that Zhu Luo had moved against Xiao Yunzhe, he directly moved to annihilate the Zhu Family.

After knowing it was Xiao Ming, the slight luck in Zhu Luo's father's heart vanished completely; having offended that big shot, his Zhu Family has no chance of survival.

The only reason he didn't immediately exterminate them was to let them slowly find out who they had provoked, then endure this kind of despairing torment.

Good to lure to kill with intent.

"He strikes decisively; you've only just noticed a hint of movement on your side, and he's already moved against us; the only reason you could find out about him is obviously because he deliberately let you find out."

"Zhu Luo, ah, you've really fallen badly this time; our Zhu Family falling into his hands makes a comeback impossible." Zhu Luo's father has been sighing from the beginning until now.

At around six or seven, when Xiao Yunzhe returned home, Xiao Ming and the others were having a meal.

"Yunzhe, have you eaten? Come eat." Seeing Xiao Yunzhe come home, Xiao Ming greeted him as if nothing was wrong, but Xiao Yunzhe was so angry he could die, having no mood to eat.

"Dad, I have no mood to eat." Xiao Yunzhe said angrily.

Xiao Ming smiled faintly and invited Xiao Yunzhe to go out for a walk together.

Xiao Ming didn't press further, waiting for Xiao Yunzhe to speak; after walking a while, little Xiao Yunzhe heaved a deep sigh and said: "Dad, this time, thanks to you, I avoided stepping on a landmine."

Xiao Yunzhe's face turned red from embarrassment; he even despised himself; last time he suffered such a big loss, being set up by that old lady of the Wen Family, and now he almost set someone else up again.

"It's no big deal." Xiao Ming waved his hand indifferently.

"Later, how did you handle it?" Xiao Ming asked with a light smile, without a single word of blame from start to finish.

The more this happened, the more Xiao Yunzhe felt a burning sensation.

"Later, I gave that bastard a good beating." Xiao Yunzhe said angrily: "It's too much; I sincerely wanted to be friends with him, but if it weren't for you, Dad, I would have been sold out and still had to pay people's money."

"Hehe, it's fine, son; actually, I already knew about this matter all along, I just didn't intervene so you could suffer a loss and remember it." Xiao Ming said truthfully: "Some experiences must be personally undergone to truly understand."

"Beating someone does involve a bit of impulse, but it's fine; if my son encounters a scheme, he should just slink away—otherwise he'd be too cowardly."

"That's right, but Dad, I don't understand: how did you know about this? I haven't noticed anything at all, yet you've already acted." Saying this, Xiao Yunzhe was utterly impressed with Xiao Ming, as if he could calculate on his fingers.

"This is a businessman's keen sense; you said you made a new friend, you're a simple-hearted child, so out of concern I had someone inquire which of your new friends; if there were no issues, I naturally wouldn't interfere in your life, but this inquiry turned up a problem."

"If I lacked this bit of keenness, how could I possibly have what I have today? I'd have died countless times already."

"But you don't need to dwell on it; what's past is past, as long as you learn something from it." Xiao Ming patted his son's shoulder: "As for me, I'm not going to interfere in whatever you do; this time, since you're just entering society, I kept an extra eye."

"When you mature, I'll also let go; after all, I too came from youth, and I'll understand respecting you youngsters; thereafter, when you encounter something you can't resolve, just tell me, I'll let you know what to do; if you don't speak up, I won't interfere further." Xiao Ming said earnestly.

However, if the safety of the three siblings is threatened, he won't calculate so much; when it's time to act, he will definitely not hold back.

"Hmm, Dad, I understand." Xiao Yunzhe felt grateful for his father's strategizing while lamenting society's treachery.
