Nan Corporation Building.
Nan Xiao tossed the documents in his hand aside in annoyance, then picked up his phone and dialed, "Xiang Bei, have you found the person?"
"I have. The number you gave me belongs to Xia Zhaoyang's assistant. I just finished questioning him, and he was quite forthcoming. He said Xia Zhaoyang ordered him to hack Lan Yu Xi, and to track her movements and leak them to reporters."
Xia Zhaoyang!
Dare to touch Xi Bao, and I'll make your life a living hell!
Nan Xiao narrowed his eyes dangerously. "Does the old lady have anything to do with this?"
"Probably not. I checked Xia Zhaoyang and his wife's call records. He hasn't contacted the old lady or Mama Xia in the past few days." Nan Xiang Bei paused, then continued, "Xia Zhaoyang is solely focused on trying to marry his daughter off to you. Lan Yu Xi's appearance has made him feel threatened. I believe this is his personal act, not something the old lady ordered."
Nan Xiao let out a cold laugh. "He really dares to dream! Where is he now?"
"Not at the company, nor at home. I've already infiltrated the surveillance around their neighborhood. As soon as he gets home... Boss, Lan Yu Xi has gone to the Xia family's place!"
Nan Xiao's eyes sharpened. He grabbed his car keys and rushed out the door. "She's alone?"
"No, four cars... fifteen or sixteen people, all unfamiliar faces... Boss, should I send the brothers to stop them?"
"No need." Nan Xiao heard that Lan Yu Xi had brought so many people, and knew she wouldn't suffer a loss. He slowed his pace. "Let her vent for now. I'll come later to clean up the mess for her."
Nan Xiang Bei rubbed his face. He knew it would turn out this way!
The Xia Residence.
Madam Xia sat on the ground, sobbing and wailing, "I really don't know. He's never home. Even if you beat me to death, I wouldn't know!"
Lan Yu Xi was annoyed by her crying and smashed another Sancai pottery.
She had glanced around earlier and noticed that most of the antiques displayed in the Xia residence were from the Nan family.
Perhaps these antiques were rewards given by the old lady to that wicked servant, Madam Xia, every time she tormented her.
If she didn't smash them, how could she vent her hatred!
"Ah!" Madam Xia was so heartbroken she almost fainted. "Stop smashing, please stop smashing! I really don't know where he went."
Lan Yu Xi raised her hand slightly, and the dozen or so people behind her spread out in an orderly fashion.
The first, second, and third floors were quickly searched.
"Xia Zhaoyang not found."
"Xia Zhaoyang not found."
"Xia Zhaoyang not found."
Thinking of Madam Xia's endless methods of torture, Lan Yu Xi said hatefully, "Smash!"
At Lan Yu Xi's command, the Xia residence instantly became a disaster movie. By the end, not a single whole pane of glass was left.
Madam Xia glared venomously at Lan Yu Xi. "Lan Yu Xi..."
Lan Yu Xi smashed half a blue and white porcelain vase with a swing of her bat. Shards of porcelain scattered like falling petals, startling Madam Xia, who quickly shielded her head and dodged to the side.
Lan Yu Xi walked up to her, looked down, and coldly reprimanded, "Do you hate me so much, wishing you could throw me in jail? Fine, sue me! You sue me, I'll sue you. Let's see who serves time longer, me or Xia Zhaoyang!"
As she spoke, Lan Yu Xi thoughtfully pulled the landline phone closer to Madam Xia.
"Here, make the call!"
Madam Xia's hand trembled as she reached out, then hesitated and quickly retracted it.
She wasn't stupid. If she dared to call the police now, Lan Yu Xi would break her hand.
When she glimpsed a figure flashing outside the window, a fierce glint appeared in her eyes.
"Don't dare to call?" Lan Yu Xi leaned down, holding her baseball bat, and looked at her. "If you're smart, call Xia Zhaoyang immediately and tell him to get back here. Otherwise, I'll destroy your Xia family today, and your Xia Corporation tomorrow. Don't think that the Nan family's protection means I won't dare to touch you!"
Madam Xia said timidly, "I... I tried to call, but his phone was off."
"Then keep calling until he turns it on!"
Lan Yu Xi straightened up and looked around. Seeing that only the frame of the villa remained, she felt much better.
"If I don't see Xia Zhaoyang by this time tomorrow, Xia Corporation can prepare for bankruptcy! Let's go!"
Outside the gate of the Xia residence, Nan Xiao had been watching the situation inside.
Seeing the Xia villa reduced to a mere frame in the blink of an eye, a slight smile touched his eyes.
For years, the Xia family had clung to the Nan family like leeches.
Before, they were somewhat restrained. But ever since Xia Zhaoyang's daughter had accidentally saved him once, they had become increasingly greedy.
It wasn't that he hadn't refused them. But as soon as he refused, his mother would bring up the life-saving debt. Later, he became tired of it and let them have their way as long as they didn't go too far.
In just a few years, they had moved into a luxury mansion. Xi Bao's actions were also a way of avenging him.
A police car approached from a distance.
Nan Xiao frowned slightly and opened his car door to get out.
At that moment, Lan Mu Shang's car also pulled up.
He had just started a video conference when the butler rushed in to knock on his door, saying that his young lady had stormed out angrily.
He was so scared that he abandoned the meeting and rushed here.
The two men with extremely powerful auras exchanged a glance across the distance, then simultaneously shifted their gaze to the approaching police car.
Before the police car had even come to a complete stop, a tall man with a crew cut jumped out. From a distance, he called out,
"Boss!"
"Captain Xiao."
Nan Xiao curved his lips slightly. As the man approached, he shook his hand firmly.
"Boss, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon!"
"We didn't drink enough that day. Let's get together again when you're all free." Nan Xiao glanced at the Xia residence. "Such a small matter, why did it involve you, Captain Xiao?"
"I happened to be nearby and responded to a call."
The man said, glancing into the gate, then froze.
This... was called a small matter?
Just then, Lan Yu Xi, carrying her baseball bat, walked out of the Xia residence with her entourage.
Seeing so many people, Captain Xiao instinctively reached for his radio to call for backup. Nan Xiao quickly pressed his hand down on the transceiver.
"Let them go. I'll go in with you later to handle this. I guarantee you won't be in trouble."
"Boss... alright!"
As soon as Lan Yu Xi came out, she saw Nan Xiao. Thinking that his mother was the mastermind behind this, her eyes turned red with anger. Especially the tear mole at the corner of her eye, which was as red as a drop of blood.
Without a word, Lan Yu Xi walked to Nan Xiao's million-dollar sports coupe and, with a swing of her bat, turned the windshield into a spiderweb.
She couldn't hit that old woman, but she could smash his car, right!
Seeing her arrogance, Captain Xiao was about to step forward, but Nan Xiao held him in place.
Lan Mu Shang saw this and quickly walked over.
When Lan Yu Xi saw her elder brother arrive, she dropped her baseball bat and threw herself into his arms, looking wronged.
Lan Mu Shang affectionately stroked her head. "I asked the housekeeper to make your favorite mala tang. Go back and eat it while it's hot. I'll handle this here."
