The situation now was actually very simple. Xia Jiang was narrow-minded and wanted to get rid of Song Huping, but he found out in advance, created a fake death, and escaped from the country.

With the death of Song Huban, Song Jia would lose her position and protection, which meant that she might be hurt by Song Huping's enemies or Xia Jiang. Therefore, Song Huping hoped that Xu Taiping could take care of her as Song Jia's boyfriend, because that was the best way to ensure her safety. After all, Xu Taiping was an existence that was not inferior to Song Huping at all.

If there were no mishaps, after Xia Jinxuan had returned from Wu Town, it was very likely that she and Xu Taiping would return. But if Xu Taiping had returned with Xia Jinxuan, then they needed to protect Song Jia Lu. Although they could do it, it was not fair in name, and Xu Taiping would be a lot of trouble.

For Xu Taiping, who didn't like trouble, this was a huge headache.

Therefore, the best thing to do right now was not to make up with Xia Jinxuan. At the very least, they had to stay single. That way, if they got closer to Song Jia, it wouldn't attract too much attention.

Xu Taiping let out a sigh. Before he and Xia Jinxuan, there were too many good things to do.

The second day was a good day, the day of Song Huping's funeral.

The hospital had confirmed that the victim was Song Hubai, and the traffic police had determined that there was a problem with the brake system. Song Huping drove very fast, causing the car to go out of control in a car accident.

Xia Jiang had arranged a very grand show for Song Hubai. He had gathered hundreds of cars and lined up them in a few kilometers of convoy. This could be considered the most solemn funeral in Jiangyuan City in recent years.

Xu Taiping attended the funeral, and was arranged by Xia Jiang and Song Jia together to receive the mourners.

Song Jia's face was pale. She seemed to have lost some weight from yesterday.

After all, he was his good friend, and her father hadn't died yet.

However, no matter how much he pitied Xu Taiping, he could not reveal the matter of Song Huping. Otherwise, not only would he harm Song Jia's family members, he would also harm Song Jia.

Halfway through the funeral, Xia Jinxuan hurried over to the crematorium.

She had received the news during the day and thus, she ended her trip early and rushed back to Jiang Yuan City.

Even though Xia Jinxuan had fought with Song Jia and Song Jia for more than a decade, their relationship was actually quite good. After all, they had each other as children, and just like Song Jia, Xia Jinxuan was also in tears.

Song Huban's body was cremated at 2pm in the afternoon, and the urns appeared in Song Jia's hands around 3pm.

The rest would naturally be left to the Song Family, and the subordinates of Song Huping would naturally help. Xu Taiping was not the one who helped. Xu Taiping could only leave early. He didn't even greet Xia Jinxuan.

That night, the Song Family hosted a banquet at a hotel in Jiangyuan City to entertain the guests who came to see him off. This was a custom in Jiangyuan City: there was always a banquet for marriages and deaths.

Xu Taiping stood alone at the entrance of the banquet hall, looking at the people inside.

Someone as strong as Song Huping had really put his life on the line when he said that he was going to die. He had left everything at home and went abroad.

This path was just as Su Xiangzi had said, a path that could not be traversed.

Xu Taiping was even more determined.

Around ten in the evening, after the banquet had ended, Xia Jinxuan and Song Jia went home together. She was going to sleep with Song Jia tonight, so it could be said that they were friends.

Xu Taiping followed Xia Jiang to send away the mourners, then followed Xia Jiang and the other managers to Xia Jiang's home.

Due to the incident with Chen Sangou, there were only a few higher-ups under Xia Jiang's command. Now that there was no more Song Hubai, Xia Jiang only had five to six higher-ups left.

Xia Jiang had yet to deal with the businesses belonging to the managers that had been cleaned up and had only temporarily handed them over to a few people to represent. Now that Song Huping had left, it was only natural that his businesses would be handed over to whoever was in charge of them.

"Taiping, I'll leave it to you to manage for the time being." Xia Jiang said to Xu Taiping.

The surrounding people all looked at Xu Taiping in envy. Xia Jiang's actions were different from the last time. Last time, the one that caught the hair Shao Ying would be rewarded, and this time it was a direct reward.

It was very obvious that Xia Jiang truly planned to treat Xu Taiping as his successor. Otherwise, he wouldn't have treated Xu Taiping so favorably.

"Boss Xia, there's something I need to tell you." Xu Taiping said.

"What is it? Tell me." Xia Jiang said.

"I want to withdraw from the Taiya Group." Xu Taiping said.

"What?" The surrounding people all looked at Xu Taiping in shock. At this moment, Xu Taiping was like a prince who had rejected the position of crown prince.

"Why?" Xia Jiang frowned and said.

"Actually, I don't like what I have right now." Xu Taiping said, "Although I earn more and have some people order me around, I can't really be happy about it. What I like the most is still being an ordinary security guard in Jiangyuan University, although I don't have any prestige nor do I have any considerable income, but that makes me very happy."

"Did you encounter any difficulty?" If you do, just tell me, and I'll decide for you. " Xia Jiang asked.

"No." Xu Taiping shook his head, "To tell you the truth, when I wasn't in this position, I was very free and easy, I didn't have to think about so many things, but sitting in this position, it made me feel more constrained, made me think about so many things. I feel that my life should be more monotonous, I don't want so many things to trap me like Jin Xuan and Lei Jiayin, I think, if I didn't sit in this position, Jin Xuan wouldn't have broken up with me."

"Taiping, don't be silly. There are so many people crying and yelling that they can't even get into your position. Now that Boss Xia values you so much, you should work even harder. Where are you going?" Bao Lie Feng said.

"Old Bao, I've thought about it clearly." Xu Taiping shook his head, "Since you want to find someone to inherit my property, do it while you're at it."

"If you leave, then hand over everything you acquired in the company!" Xia Jiangyin said with a gloomy face.

"Whatever I obtained at the company, I'll keep it. It's all in the palace. You can go and get it." Xu Taiping said.

"You know, I value you a lot." Xia Jiang stared at Xu Taiping and said, "You're leaving just like that, no way."

"Could it be that Boss Xia intends to force me to stay?" Xu Taiping said with a faint smile.

Xia Jiang frowned, looking at Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping looked at him with a smile.

After a long time, Xia Jiang's eyebrows loosened. He let out a long sigh and said, "Fine, I'll let you go. From today onwards, all of your properties in the south district will be handed over to Zhou Xiaoyu."

"Boss Xia, I can't do it, I …" Zhou Xiaoyu said anxiously.

"Xiao Yu, Boss Xia thinks highly of you. Take it with ease. Remember to help me take care of the businesses in the southern part of the city." Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"Bro Xu, this …"

"Don't call me Bro Xu. Just call me Taiping. I have to call you Bro right now." Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"Bro Xu, you'll always be my Bro!" Zhou Xiaoyu said excitedly, "No matter where you go, no matter what you do, you are still my brother."

"Alright, let's not talk about these obscenities anymore. Boss Xia, from now on, I'm not your person anymore. I'll be leaving first." Xu Taiping stood up and walked out.

"Balance!"

"Bro Xu!"

Bao Lie Feng and Zhou Xiaoyu both called out. They tried to keep Xu Taiping, but Xu Taiping was exceptionally resolute. In the blink of an eye, he had already left the living room.

"Let him go." Xia Jiang waved his hand and said, "Different paths don't work together. Our Taiya Group's rule is to be careful when coming and going, no one can force anyone to stay, as long as he gives us everything he obtained from the Taiya Group."

"Ai!" Bao Rui Feng sighed and said, "How did peace and quiet come about?"

"Bro Xu …" Zhou Xiaoyu muttered softly. She did not understand what Xu Taiping was playing at.

Xu Taiping left Xia Jiang's mansion, so it could be considered as formal separation from Xia Jiang's Taiya Group.

He had become a full-time security guard once again, and was no longer the manager of the southern district.

The night wind blew, making Xu Taiping feel very comfortable and at ease.

He wanted to live a relaxed life for ordinary people, and once his current status made it so that he would be tired and tired, Xu Pingping would definitely leave.

The old woman was still sitting by the door, as if she was still asleep.

Xu Taiping turned off the light at the door and took out an ancient book that Zhao Buqian had given him and started reading.

One night spent peacefully reading books. For the martial arts world of Jiangyuan City, this night was simply too restless.

The former manager of the Xuan Wen District had died in a car accident, so it was normal for the Xuan Wen District to have a replacement. However, the Southern City's Xu Taiping was still alive and well, and switching people in this kind of situation was already a bit unimaginable. Many people were speculating that Xu Taiping must have offended Xia Jiang, and then connecting it with the rumors of Xia Jin and Xu Taiping breaking up, this speculation was even more convincing.

At daybreak the next day, the entrance to Jiangyuan University once again welcomed the onlookers attending classes on Monday. Mobile users please browse and read, better reading experience.
