Yun Ran didn’t care at all about the Zhang family’s brainstorming sessions; she even had the mood to go for a sea trip.
There’s a small dock at this private beach, naturally equipped with yachts and such.
Watching the Little Paperman constantly loading things onto the yacht, Xuan Chu curiously asked, "How many days are you planning to spend at sea?"
"Don’t you know that when I got this, it included not only the private beach but also a small island?"
Xuan Chu shook his head; he indeed didn’t know.
"I heard the island was built as a luxurious retreat by the forr richest Zhao Family. It’s really beautiful, so I want to check it out."
The island isn’t that far from here; the yacht can get there in a little over an hour.
"What about the Zhang family? You gave them a hint earlier and aren’t you worried about what they might do next?"
"What’s there to be afraid of? Shouldn’t they be the ones who ought to be afraid?"
Xuan Chu had casually asked, and hearing Yun Ran’s reply, he turned it over in his head—indeed.
With the domineering nature of the Zhang family, hoping they’ll admit their mistakes is impossible. Whatever they plan to do, it will end badly for them in the end.
Yun Ran had already changed clothes, holding a black umbrella, leisurely heading towards the yacht.
Xuan Chu quickly followed along.
The Little Paperman had already arranged everything they loaded onto the yacht. After Yun Ran and Xuan Chu boarded, the yacht slowly left the dock.
Yun Ran temporarily distanced herself from the hustle and bustle, but what was ant to happen wouldn’t pause just because she left.
Zhang San spent quite a bit of personal connections to eventually link up with soone from the Huannan Special Administration Bureau, intending to find a highly esteed person to act as a diator.
Initially, these people were willing to give the Zhang family a chance, just to diate a bit.
But as soon as they heard the one needing diation was Yun Ran, their forrly smiling faces imdiately turned cold.
Not only did they return all the treasures sent by the Zhang family, they issued a direct order to leave.
What a joke, whatever the Zhang family gifted, no matter how precious, it wasn’t worth more than their own future and reputation.
They might not know Yun Ran personally, nor understand her character, but they knew Yun Ran was not to be trifled with.
Zhang San watched as the rare herbs delivered and the treasures valued highly by Xuann people were all returned.
His aura grew more and more sullen.
A young mber of the Zhang family assisting Zhang San cautiously said, "Uncle San, apart from failing to locate the Taoist Xia, all other esteed elders refused us..."
"Triple the gifts and find that Taoist Xia!"
The young Zhang family mber initially didn’t grasp the severity of the situation but now, he understood.
"Yes, I’ll go right away!"
Taoist Xia was previously studying a damaged array given by Yun Ran when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
It was his break ti; who was so inconsiderate to co now?
He haphazardly picked up his previous disguise, turning himself into a scruffy old man.
Opening the door with a face full of resentful energy, he saw standing in front of him a group of strangers holding gift boxes.
Not wanting to give these people a second glance, he prepared to close the door.
"Taoist Xia, please help us!"
Upon hearing this, though Taoist Xia’s expression remained unpleasant, his hand stopped the door from closing.
In general, when faced with others’ requests for help, he’d assist if he could.
"Co in!"
"Don’t look around or wander; my yard has many arrays!"
With Taoist Xia’s ’friendly reminder’, the Zhang family beca even more behaved.
"Say what you have to say directly!"
Taoist Xia didn’t pay attention to the gifts from start to finish; he’d help without such gifts if he could, eting him was fate.
If he couldn’t help, no amount of gifts would make him interfere with others’ fates.
The Zhang family had faced closed doors one too many tis and learned their lesson.
After coming in, they didn’t blurt everything out as they’d done before.
Taoist Xia actually wasn’t a very patient person, and listening to the roundabout words from the person before him made him dislike them even more.
If it were really urgent and they were justified, would they beat around the bush?
Taoist Xia’s tone instantly cooled: "If you’re just killing ti, go find soone else. Don’t waste my ti by going in circles here!"
Zhang family: ...
They didn’t want to beat around the bush, but having been rejected too many tis had cast a shadow over them.
"Uh, Taoist, do you think acknowledging and correcting one’s mistakes is a good quality?"
Taoist Xia wasn’t one to indulge their nonsense and stood up, calling his big black dog in the corner: "Chase them out!"
Seriously, wasting his ti. Finally getting a month off, couldn’t they find sothing else to do?
Seeing the big black dog stand up, the Zhang family was imdiately panicked, not caring about saving face anymore.
They bravely explained the situation.
As the Zhang family looked at Taoist Xia with hopeful eyes, Taoist Xia burst out laughing in anger.
"You guys didn’t investigate before coming to ?"
The Zhang family was montarily stunned by this question. Of course, they’d looked into this; Taoist Xia’s reputation was stellar. Not only was he a heavyweight at the Special Administration Bureau, but his family’s influence was also not to be underestimated.
If he stood up, Yun Ran would surely give a few considerations, right?
"Taoist, we know of your esteed status and impeccable character..."
Listening to the never-ending flattery, Taoist Xia cut them off directly.
"Since you’ve investigated , why didn’t you discover that Yun Ran and I are life and death friends.
Your people calculated against Yun Ran, yet you wish to diate; are you out of your mind?"
If he weren’t so familiar with Yun Ran and aware she had her plans in warning them, Taoist Xia would have given these people a lesson.
A bunch of clueless idiots daring to trample on Yun Ran; they must have a death wish!
"Get lost! If you weren’t ordinary people, you wouldn’t be leaving through this door!"
The big black dog ca over, baring its teeth at the Zhang family, signaling that if they didn’t leave, it would bite!
