Listening to Liu Yongchang and Lai Qingsheng, Lin Hao was speechless.
He just wanted to hear some advice, why did it turn to Feng Shui again?
Fine, he would do as they said and look around.
"Alright, then let's call Xiao Hei and go together."
After speaking, Lin Hao called out to Xiao Hei, who was in seclusion adapting to his new realm, and they left the villa together.
...
Wang Sheng returned to his mother's villa dejectedly.
He saw his cousin sitting on the living room sofa and felt a surge of panic.
It was his cousin who had instructed him to visit Lin Hao.
Now that he had failed to handle the matter, his cousin would surely not let him off easily.
More importantly, his father. With the matter now botched, his cousin would definitely not bother with his father's affairs anymore.
When he entered, he had considered deceiving his cousin.
He could have said he had successfully visited Lin Hao.
But then he thought, such a deception could only last for a while, not forever.
If his cousin found out he was lying, the consequences would likely be even more severe.
Therefore, after much deliberation, Wang Sheng decided to tell the truth.
"Cousin, I..."
Wang Sheng looked at his cousin, Xiao Jinglong, feeling uneasy.
"The matter wasn't successful?" Xiao Jinglong glanced at Wang Sheng and said indifferently.
"Cousin, I did as you said, but... but Lin Hao didn't even let me in the door and kicked me out!"
"You also know the grievances between Lin Hao and me, so I..."
Wang Sheng looked at his cousin, Xiao Jinglong, his palms sweating with nervousness.
"You didn't mention my name?" Xiao Jinglong asked, peeling an apple without looking up.
"I did," Wang Sheng quickly replied. "I also mentioned the Xiao family."
"But that Lin Hao said..."
"Said what?"
"I dare not say."
"Just say it when I tell you to," Xiao Jinglong said lightly, taking a bite of the apple.
"He said... what kind of thing is the Xiao family? He's never heard of it and told me to get lost immediately." Wang Sheng said, trembling, looking at Xiao Jinglong.
At this moment, he was incredibly nervous.
Because these words were fabricated by him.
He hadn't even seen Lin Hao when he went there, so how could Lin Hao have said such a thing?
But he had no choice.
He had to get revenge on Lin Hao.
But relying on himself to deal with the current Lin Hao was undoubtedly a pipe dream.
Therefore, to get revenge, he could only rely on his cousin and the Xiao family.
He refused to believe that Lin Hao would still dare to be arrogant in the face of the powerful Xiao family.
Although he didn't know how powerful his mother's family, the Xiao family, was, he knew that even in the entire capital, the Xiao family was a first-class noble clan.
"Oh? Did he really say that?" Xiao Jinglong put down the apple and looked at Wang Sheng.
Wang Sheng was startled and broke out in a cold sweat, quickly nodding, "Yes... yes."
"Hmph! This Lin Hao is truly like a frog in a well, unaware of the immensity of heaven and earth!"
Xiao Jinglong stuck the small knife into the apple and said coldly, "Does he really think that by driving away Hua Xian, he has become the overlord of Modu?"
"You go find him and tell him to come and apologize at my doorstep within three days, otherwise, he will be considered an enemy of the capital's Xiao family, and the Xiao family will stop at nothing to ensure he never finds peace!"
Hearing his cousin Xiao Jinglong's words, Wang Sheng was first startled, then his heart filled with immense excitement.
It worked!
Wang Sheng excitedly clenched his fists and then said loudly, "Okay, cousin, I'll go find him now!"
Xiao Jinglong nodded and then got up to leave.
After watching his cousin Xiao Jinglong leave, Wang Sheng did not immediately go to find Lin Hao.
Instead, he went upstairs to his mother.
Wang Sheng looked at his mother and asked with confusion, "Mom, your maternal uncles are so powerful, why have you never told us about them before?"
Hearing her son's words, Xiao Fen sighed and looked at him, saying, "I knew you would ask."
Seeing his mother's expression, Wang Sheng immediately realized that his mother might have some unspeakable secret and quickly said, "It's okay if you don't want to say."
After speaking, Wang Sheng got up, ready to leave.
Xiao Fen shook her head at her son's actions and then slowly said, "There's nothing I want or don't want to say."
"Even if I don't say it now, you'll naturally know when you go to the Xiao family."
"Rather than you going to the Xiao family and being ridiculed and mocked, it's better to tell you now so you can be prepared."
Hearing his mother's words, Wang Sheng's expression changed, and he became more confused.
Being ridiculed and mocked when he went to the Xiao family?
With his status, he would likely be laughed at by the Xiao family.
Thinking about this, Wang Sheng, who had initially thought he could be reckless and ambitious with the Xiao family as his backing, felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, and he fell silent.
No!
He had finally found such a powerful backer, how could he give up so easily?
With this thought, Wang Sheng immediately started telling his mother about his plan!
...
A day passed in the blink of an eye.
After a day of wandering, Lin Hao finally found a good location for a fortune-telling stall.
