Chapter 226 - Xiao Heir Is Alive (1/2)

”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.

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.”
