246: Chapter 246: Dazzled by My Handsoness?
Haishan City, Xiao Family estate.
The entire estate, spanning a considerable area, is surrounded by granite relief walls, housing ancient pines, green cypress trees, and beautiful flowers scattered throughout, along with artificial hills, fountains, and streams bridged by small arches—the scenery is indeed very pleasant.
The most remarkable aspect is that the layout of these scenic spots in the villa subtly incorporates Xuann feng shui and the principles of the Eight Trigrams.
At the core of the estate stands a three-story European-style row villa, luxurious and splendid.
The residence of Old Master Xiao Xiao Jian, is within this villa.
At this mont, the entire Xiao Family estate is filled with joy.
However, beneath this celebratory atmosphere lingered a tense air, with large numbers of bodyguards highly alert.
As the leading business mogul of the entire Haishan City, Old Master Xiao’s 70th birthday naturally had to be celebrated with grandeur.
In fact, it was indeed a splendid affair—the line of luxury cars in the parking lot alone spoke volus.
It should be noted that the owners of these luxury cars were either rich or noble, many of whom were prominent figures from all walks of life in Haishan, including Lin Xiaoquan, the Mayor of Haishan Municipal Governnt, who personally attended the banquet.
At this mont, Old Master Xiao Xiao Jian, alongside his son Xiao Feng, is eting guests from all sides, displaying the utmost hospitality of the host.
anwhile, among the guests within the Xiao Family mansion, three mysterious n were whispering among themselves.
“Senior Brother Hao, did you say last night’s kidnapping plan failed?” one of them whispered.
Senior Brother Hao nodded grimly, his expression troubled, “It was supposed to be foolproof.
Unexpectedly, a capable fool suddenly appeared by Xiao Haii’s side and routed the n I sent, utterly frustrating indeed.”
Indeed, this Senior Brother Hao was none other than Master Hao Wentong, the mastermind revealed by Han Dazhuang from the attackers of Xiao Haii the previous night, with cultivation at the Postnatal Late Stage.
Master Hao Wentong, at over fifty, was balding, almost like a peeled egg, his eyes sharp as a hawk’s, constantly gleaming with a lusty light.
“I wonder if those brats revealed anything about us.
Otherwise, our plan to seize the sword today would be ruined,” said a third man, his expression grim as he spoke.
Master Hao Wentong shook his head, “Junior Brother Liu, the people I selected from the secular world for this have adequate talent; they only know my surna, but not my first na.
It would be unlikely for them to expose my identity.”
The Junior Brother Liu spoken of by Master Hao Wentong was Liu Fangmin, the youngest of the three at about thirty years old.
He was corpulent with a round face and was at the Postnatal Early Stage of cultivation.
Then the first man to speak earlier said, “Then Senior Brother Hao, what should we do next?
Without Xiao Haii as a hostage, forcing Ye Haochuan to submit and surrender Junior Brother Ling’s Ice Soul Sword will be difficult.”
Master Hao Wentong nodded, “Junior Brother Yang is right; it will indeed be difficult!
The Ice Soul Sword in his possession is imnsely powerful.
Although my cultivation is higher than his, he has the Ice Soul Sword…”
The Junior Brother Yang he referred to was Yang Shaohai, a forty-sothing man with a tall figure and cultivation at the Postnatal Mid-Stage.
Suddenly, Liu Fangmin said, “Hmph, just because we couldn’t kidnap Xiao Haii, does that an we can’t target her family?
Like her grandfather Xiao Jian, that old man…”
Master Hao Wentong interrupted in a stern tone, “Junior Brother Liu, it’s best to dismiss that thought early on.”
“Why?” Liu Fangmin asked, puzzled, “With Xiao Haii’s affection for that old man, she won’t hesitate to beg Ye Haochuan to save him…”
“Indeed…” Yang Shaohai started praising, “If we kidnap her grandfather Xiao Jian, it’s almost the sa as having Xiao Haii.
We needn’t worry about Ye Haochuan not complying.”
“You all think too simplistically…”
Master Hao Wentong shook his head, “Let tell you the truth, that old man Xiao Jian was also once a mber of our Ancient Martial Arts Sect, even an Inner Sect Disciple.
He has a wide network and many friends in the sect.
Even now, there are people by his side who have received his favors.
He has managed to stand firm in Haishan’s business world; without support from influential figures, who would believe that?”
Upon hearing this, Yang Shaohai and Liu Fangmin were both taken aback, clearly not expecting that Xiao Jian was also soone from the Ancient Martial Arts Sect.
“So, we absolutely must not act rashly.
Let’s not deal with the people behind him before even getting the Ice Soul Sword.
Moreover, we still can’t be sure if the Ice Soul Sword is truly in Ye Haochuan’s hands.
We must be patient…” Hao Wentong cautioned.
“Okay.”
After agreeing on their approach, the three of them said no more.
At that mont, at the main entrance of the Xiao family mansion, a Ferrari sports car drove in, followed by a Chery QQ, and then several Audi sedans.
Seeing the noble Miss Xiao alight from the Chery QQ, all the guests were in an uproar.
Could this be a mistake?
The distinguished Miss Xiao, rather than riding in the luxurious Ferrari, chose instead to ride in the extrely subpar QQ?
Was the sun rising from the west?
Even more outrageous was that after alighting, Miss Xiao intimately linked arms with a young man who had also erged from the Chery QQ.
This young man was dressed impeccably, exuding charm and extraordinary deanor, but why would he be driving a QQ?
Could it be that he was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger?
Feeling the astonished gazes around her, Xiao Haimie sidewards glanced at Ye Haochuan coquettishly, as if to say, “See, this is your fault for insisting on buying a QQ, making lose face along with you.”
Ye Haochuan understood her implication but feigned ignorance.
“What are you looking at for?”
“I’m going to faint,” Xiao Haimie said with a helpless smile.
Ye Haochuan laughed.
“Is it because you saw in this suit you bought for , so charming that it knocked you out?”
“Vain!” Xiao Haimie couldn’t help but laugh.
As they spoke, the two of them had already walked among the guests, constantly receiving gestures of goodwill to which Xiao Haimie politely responded.
When people asked about Ye Haochuan’s identity along the way, Xiao Haimie openly admitted, “Ye Haochuan is my boyfriend.”
Setting aside Xiao Haimie’s family background, just her enchantingly perfect beauty was enough to drive countless normal n wild.
Moreover, at this birthday party, many young talents had gone all out dressing themselves, having heard that her forr husband had already divorced her.
But unexpectedly, at first sight, she already had a significant other.
Thus, Ye Haochuan quickly sensed a dense array of hostile glances surrounding him.
Damn, had they all taken Viagra or sothing?
Why were they all staring at like that?
Ye Haochuan was at a loss for words.
Xiao Haimie also noticed the off atmosphere and gave him a sweet smile, tightening her grip on his hand as a gesture of comfort.
“My wife is truly sothing, captivating so many,” Ye Haochuan said with a smile.
Xiao Haimie smiled coquettishly, “All you do is talk.”
Ye Haochuan playfully winked and chuckled, thinking to himself that he was quite sothing too, having hooked such a charming wife.
It was worth it.
Just then, a hearty laughter ca from the direction of the villa’s main entrance: “Haha, my dear granddaughter is back!”
Ye Haochuan turned his head to look and saw Old Master Xiao standing on the red carpet at the villa’s main entrance, his face full of smiles.
