Chapter 226 - Xiao Heir Is Alive

"AH——DO'NT—LEAVE—ME——NOOOO!——HELP!" A blood-curdling shrieks came from the room.

Lin Xu's face was as white as sheet. Lately, they hadn't gotten involved in any bloody fights. He even forgot how ruthless these men were.

Yue Xiang shot an icy glance towards the closed door. His eyes lacked any human emotion. "Make sure that he doesn't die."

Bai Zhen: "Yes, Sir."

That night was ended with a bloody scream.

---NEXT-DAY----

The media was in a frenzy. No one had thought that the tables would turn for the Xiao family.

In the past few days since Jingnan's death was on the news, Mr. Jing paid out a few influential social accounts to help them clean the Jing's reputation and was unaware of his wife's illicit order deal.

Most importantly, Xiao Shen's expulsion from the Xiao family created a hyper about her involvement in Jingnan's death. Moreover, Mr. Jing lost more influence as they lost the support of the Xiao family name. 

As for Old Tang, she left the city after learning about her daughter's shameful act. She had requested that Jing Zhe join her, but Jing Zhe refused as she had a debt to pay.

Noticing that Yue Wan hadn't taken any steps to reveal her affair, Xiao Shen used every method she could to clean up her reason for expulsion; she intended to throw the blame on Yue Wan. 

However, all of her efforts were fruitless. After all, gossip like this usually only lasted a few days before the public became bored. Once new news gets released, this little scandal would just disappear into the depths of everyone's memories. 

Like that, last night bigger news was released regarding the Xiao family under Princess Xiao Ran's order which caused the whole media to turn crazy.

[The Lost Heir of the Xiao Kingdom returned]

[The dead grandson of Master Xiao found alive]

[Princess Xiao's twin brother is coming to City A. Xiao Hua the third Generation's long lost Prince is back]

[The Great General Xiao Hua's Long Lost Great-grandson was found alive after 13 years]

The term 'Lost Heir' suddenly jumped to the top of search rankings. 

Meantime, Xiao Ran was on the phone with the main news sources, "If the news of Xiao Heir disappears from search rankings, then be prepared for your companies to close down. Make it top news on every social website platform."

As the saying goes: no shame, no self-blame. 

"BANG——" Xiao Shen/Tang Shen slammed the table, her face filled with disbelief. "This is impossible! This is fake! How could he be alive?"

Jing Zhe trembled and stuttered. "But I just heard that Xiao Ran made this announcement, so this shouldn't be fake…"

Hearing that, droplets of sweat covered Tang Shen's forehead, "This is impossible! That b!tch! She definitely misled them with fake news...."

Tang Shen was probably not the only one having the greatest headache today. Someone else had a bigger obstacle due to the news, and that was the First Elder Yue and the Li family. The upheaval that nearly caused the entire aristocrat families and China's business sectors to become a mess.

Seeing the news, a flock of competitors, investors, and family friends gathered around the Xiao Villa and Xiao crop to get more information about the new Heir. Nevertheless, they didn't get anything, not even a glimpse of Elder Xiao or Xiao Ran could be seen. 

Some went to the Su family as they have a close relationship with Elder Xiao and marriage alliance with the rumored heir in order to get some news, but who would have thought they too were kept in dark about this. So they refused any visitor entering the Su Villa and had the Villa under close surveillance.

----Random-hotel----

An old man dressed in a blue traditional shirt waved his fan as he walked into Su Dingfang's room accompanied by his bodyguard. The old man's thick, groomed mustache was sliver-white. His wide forehead had numerous lines. The old man's deep wrinkles seemed to carve a map of his life on his still agile and mobile facial features. His twinkling eyes were framed by thick white eyebrows.

As soon as the two men met, the Old Su reached out his hand warmly, "I haven't seen you in years. You still look as good as ever. Brother Guo."

Yang Guo/Xiao Guo laughed and sat down on the sofa, "How could I compare to the endless glory you've achieved…Brother Su."

"You are a Xiao. I dare not compare." Old Su smirked.

Old Guo couldn't hold back his wicked laugh: "Until when? The news about Xiao Hua has spread quickly through the city like an explosion."

"I didn't expect Brother Xiao hid this from us. Why would he do that?" Old Su pondered with the grievance. "Do you have something to do with his son's death?"

"Maybe or maybe not!"

"Brother Xiao was indeed a Xiao blood: a scheming and calculative person. He hid the boy for 13 years under his radar." Old Su sneered. 

"But soon he will regret it for going against us," He said in a scornful voice.

"Us! Don't include me. We are not on the same path! I don't have anything against Brother Su." Old Su served a cup of tea with a lack of interest to talk about it anymore.

"But our paths will eventually meet, don't you guys made a promise to marry your grandchildren." 

"We do but it was long gone after the little boy's death." 

Old Guo lifted his head as he twirled the cup in his hand, "Well, he is alive now."

Old Su had followed Yang Guo for many years, he understood Yang Guo's thoughts very well. So he simply smiled without another word.

----Back-to-the-base----

Yue Wan woke up before dawn and was very sleepy. Perhaps it was because of a culmination of tiredness over the training, She did not want to leave her bed…

She gently massaged the gap between her furrowed brows before entering the bathroom with her robe to get ready for the morning training.

The sky was just rising and the faint mist shrouded the ground to make it look like she was seeing everything through frosted glass. Yue Wan started jogging slowly in her blue slim tights and a military vest tank top.

There were strong youngsters and middle-aged a.d.u.l.ts who continuously ran past her. Most of them were instructors and special officers as this was a special task ground.

As Yue Wan made her first lap, she heard a s.e.xy voice behind her, "Why don't you wear that in our home in the future? You look so hot!" She turned around and immediately saw Xiao Hua standing beside her. He wore a military T-shirt and dark green sports pants. His hand was reaching to touch her little red face.

'Slap!' A hand slapped Xiao Hua's handoff.

"Mind your action this is Yue Military base," Yue Xiang came out of nowhere wearing the same outfit. His eyes seemed darker and clearer in the morning light.

They both have been running for a long time now as the front and back of their t-shirt were soaked in sweat, so much so that even the hair was drenched. Though they looked quite dashing under everyone's eyes.

Yue Xiang merely turned his head to her and muttered, "Run faster. You are slower than Fatty!"

A great insult! Yue Wan's lip slimmed down in annoyance.

Xiao Hua expressionlessly glanced at him: "Did you sell your brain off last night?"

"Don't you know? You were with me last night. We even shared a bed." Yue Xiang raised his brow. "Due to your hugging and fussing, I lost my sleep." He grumbled.

'Boom!' Yue Wan's brain crashed and it went silent. 'Slept together!!'

"Pffff–" When Xiao Hua heard the word "hugging," he spat his cold blood out…

His image nearly collapsed before his sweetheart…

"You gave me no choice. I was planning to sleep with my beloved. You, Single Dog ruined everything." Xiao Hua shamelessly proposed his desire to sleep with Yue Wan while hugging her tightly in his arm. "I missed my wild cub so much that I dreamed about her, it was only when I woke up that I realized that I was hugging a bulldog."

"Pffff–" This time, it was Yue Xiang's turn to spit out his blood.

This pervert!! Your shamelessness reached the international level.
