Just as Si Chen Ao walked to the door and was about to slam it, Xiongba spoke up, his voice sonorous and convincing, "I can help you achieve your goals, larger than the Si Family's!"
Si Chen Ao's steps faltered and he turned around to look at the man who had just spoken. Naturally, he knew nothing about this strange man, but looking at his bearing and actions, he felt that he had the ability to do so.
Xiongba did indeed have this ability. He pursed his lips, but his entire body was emitting a majestic aura. Unconsciously, he gave off a domineering aura.
For a time, Si Chen Ao's previously resolute attitude could not help but loosen a little.
Seeing that Si Chen Ao's attitude had loosened up, Xia Qiu Ling quickly reacted. She quickly walked up to Si Chen Ao and tried to persuade him in a low voice.
"Look how you spoke to your father, I'm telling you, Xiongba has already agreed to help us deal with Sihan and Xiao Tong. Think about it, if all three of them die, then the Si Family will be ours!"
At this point, Xia Qiu Ling's eyes lit up as if she had already seen the beautiful scene of herself becoming the mother of the family head of the Si family. Just the thought of it made her excited.
Xia Qiu Ling always knew what kind of character Si Chen Ao was. Although he usually concealed his ambitions, it was absolutely impossible for him to have no interest in the Si family's property.
However, at this moment, Si Chen Ao did not listen to much of what was being said. The corners of his mouth had a bitter and mocking smile, and his face even revealed a very complicated expression.
Ever since he was young, he had been known as the illegitimate child of countless people. His greatest dream was to become the righteous son of the country, and become the true descendant of the family.
For this reason, he did not know how much effort he put in, but his heart was filled with vigor.
But now, his mother had told him a heaven-shaking secret, and this secret was even more blatantly and cruelly telling him that he wasn't even a bastard, that he was just a bastard!
Although he had been ridiculed and ridiculed many times since he was young for bearing the title of an illegitimate child, in the end, his heart was still filled with pride. After knowing this cruel reality, how could the proud him accept it?
The more Xia Qiu Ling spoke, the more excited she became. She was so immersed in her fantasy about the future that she did not notice the increasingly ugly expression on her son's face.
When she came back to her senses, she saw Si Chen Ao give her a sinister look. However, that look disappeared in a flash so fast that she almost thought she was seeing things. She couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat.
The corners of Si Chen's mouth twitched, but there was no hint of a smile in his eyes.
A few days ago, he had sensed that Si Han suspected him of even having the intention of probing the situation. When he had invited him to dinner, he had not hesitated to sell off the right of the Empire, and had even hypothesized that his mother had an affair.
He didn't expect that he would make such a ridiculous claim into reality. How did he end up with such a mother? Did the heavens send him here to torture him because they thought he wasn't miserable enough?
Si Chen Ao took a deep breath and suppressed his surging thoughts. Sense overcame emotion. Step by step, he walked back to the seat opposite Xiongba.
At some point, Xiongba had started smoking a cigar. Smoke began to swirl around him, and in addition to the fact that the light in the coffee shop was especially dim, all that could be seen was his gloomy and unreadable expression.
Seeing that Si Chen Ao had returned, he put out his cigar in the ashtray and cast his gaze towards him. He knew that his son would not have any ambitions, so he naturally would not be indifferent towards his promise.
Xia Qiu Ling was also relieved. She turned around and returned to her seat, and the family of three started to talk again.
At that moment, on the second floor of the coffee shop.
A nimble figure silently snuck in. It had been a long time since a mission had taken place. She felt that her body had become a lot more clumsy, but she was still confident that she could avoid the surveillance cameras and enter without anyone noticing.
There was no helping it, no one was allowed to enter the gate, so she could only reach the second floor. She looked around and nodded in satisfaction, her lips curving upwards.
At this moment, the second floor was completely empty. Even the lights were turned off. The lighting was dim, but it was still convenient for her to do what she wanted.
She quietly made her way to the first floor and held her breath there for a long time before seizing the opportunity to enter the changing room while no one moved.
As soon as she entered, a new employee came out of the changing room and bumped into her. That employee also looked at Xiao Tong with probing eyes.
After all, no one was allowed to enter the cafes today, and this woman looked so unfamiliar. She couldn't possibly be a colleague. So what was she doing here?
The first strike had the advantage!
This thought flashed through Xiao Tong's mind the moment the two of them bumped into each other.
The next moment, that poor employee was unlucky enough to be knocked out with a single blow of her hand. He didn't even have time to let out a scream.
Xiao Tong silently apologized in her heart and didn't hesitate to use her hands.
Just when she was worrying about how to sneak in and see what Xia Qiu Ling and Si Chen Ao were up to, someone delivered a pillow to her. Looking at the employees who were knocked out by her, she suddenly revealed a row of neat little white teeth.
After that, Xiao Tong swiftly dragged the employee into the changing room and stripped off all of her work clothes. After thinking for a while, she dressed the unlucky child in her own clothes and intimately locked the door.
As for Xiao Tong's clothes, she thought for a while and picked up a bag from the surroundings. She folded the clothes and put them in the employee storage.
Just like the storage cabinets outside the supermarket, they were locked after they were put inside. Then a small piece of paper with a bar code on it automatically popped out.
After putting the small piece of paper in her pocket, she put on makeup and changed her appearance before confidently walking out.
However, he couldn't find the two after a round of searching. That made sense, since they were discussing matters, they would probably be discussing matters in the private rooms.
It took Xiao Tong a while to find it.
She laughed softly and murmured to herself, "It really is a hidden private room."
The more it was like this, the more Xiao Tong was sure that these two must be messing with something.
She had also seen the scene at the door of the coffee shop clearly. She felt that the two of them were here to see a very special person. If it was the two of them, they could talk about things anywhere, so she didn't need to come to such a remote coffee shop.
As she thought of this, Xiao Tong became more and more curious.
