"What do you mean, 'sister'!"
Huang Lu finally showed emotion, her expression shifting rapidly as she glared at Xu Yi.
The other two, including Li Wen, watched with utter confusion.
This was the first time they'd seen Miss Huang display such strong emotions.
The three of them thought: But why do we have this bad feeling in our hearts?
Xu Yi took out the incomplete jade pendant. Although a long time had passed, it still looked lustrous and smooth.
Only by wearing it close to the body constantly could it achieve such an effect.
The system was a shrewd merchant, but it was also very thoughtful.
"This is...!!"
[Bafflement Value +400]
Huang Lu's pupils contracted violently.
Then, disregarding the gazes of others, she suddenly grabbed Xu Yi's collar.
"Where did you get this jade pendant? Tell me quickly!"
A deep sadness spread across Xu Yi's face. "When we parted, my sister shattered her jade pendant and gave it to me."
Upon hearing this, Huang Lu's body swayed for a moment.
Then, as if remembering something, she directly pulled up Xu Yi's sleeve.
A scar came into view.
[Surprise Value +1000]
"Brother..."
"You're my brother!"
"Brother, I've finally found you."
Plink, plink~
Tears dripped onto the scar on Xu Yi's wrist.
Xu Yi pretended not to hear her, continuing to speak to himself, "It's my fault as an elder brother for not being able to find you all this time. Now that I'm about to die, she's the one I worry about the most."
[Guilt Value +1000]
The three who were watching the show suddenly shivered.
"Sister, where did you go? Why can't your brother find you? Are you hiding from me because you dislike how poor I am?"
[Guilt Value +1000]
"I won't have a chance to look for you again in this life, only in the next. However, Miss Huang is beautiful and kind-hearted, she'll help me continue searching for you."
[Guilt Value +1000]
Listening to Xu Yi's monologue, Huang Lu's guilt grew as high as a mountain.
"Brother, it's me. I'm your sister."
[Bafflement Value +500]
[Bafflement Value +500]
[...]
The four of them looked bewildered and shocked.
"What the heck? After just a few words, how did the young lady of Magic City become your sister?"
Xu Yi gave a wry smile. "Miss Huang, please stop joking. My sister's name is Huang Tian."
"I changed my name later... If you don't believe me, look at this."
As he spoke, Huang Lu quickly took out the other half of the jade pendant.
When they were put together, they formed a complete pattern.
Huang Lu was overjoyed, tears welling up.
"Sister, you really are my sister!" Xu Yi also exclaimed with great joy.
"Sister, I've finally found you."
Ji Bowen: Stop the family reunion... Can you two at least consider how we three feel?
Xu Yi's laughter suddenly came to an abrupt halt.
"Sister, it's wonderful to find you before I die. I have no regrets."
Huang Lu's expression turned cold, her icy gaze seeming capable of killing.
"Brother, with me here, no one dares to touch you."
As she spoke, she turned her head, "You're the ones who wanted to kill my brother?"
"No, no… we were just exchanging harsh words. We won't actually do it."
"Who told you to say those harsh words to my brother?"
[Negative Emotion Points +200*3]
Damn it...
The three of them were completely stunned.
How the hell were we supposed to know he was your brother?
We were cornered, and this kid managed to turn the tables.
Lucky for you!
Brothers in arms, let's get out of here!
Just as the three reached the door, they were blocked by the bodyguards flanking Huang Lu.
The three immediately showed panic, though they tried to maintain their composure.
"Young Miss, what are you doing?"
"You're not allowed to leave! For Xu Yi Gege's safety, you should stay."
"Murder is against the law. Even if you're the young miss of Magic City, you can't disregard the law."
"I don't care! If you want to kill Xu Yi Gege, then I'll kill you first."
The three of them: "..."
Silence was the bridge tonight~
The three were completely panicked, cold sweat streaming down their faces.
But Huang Lu had already taken out a knife.
Others just talked tough; she actually pulled out a knife and went for it.
"Sis! Sis!"
Xu Yi was also panicked and quickly tried to stop her.
He hadn't expected his sister to be so fierce.
"Murder is against the law, let's not do this."
"So you're just going to let them go? What if they try to harm you again next time?"
Thud~
The three no longer cared about their dignity as company CEOs and immediately knelt before Huang Lu.
"We won't dare to anymore!"
"Who would dare to kill the young lady's brother?"
"We were blind just now, we know we were wrong."
Seeing Huang Lu's expression soften slightly, Xu Yi slowly took the knife from her hand.
"Brother, then I'll listen to you. How should we punish them?"
Xu Yi felt incredibly emotional.
This is what having connections means.
The enemies that Uncle Li could only watch helplessly were now at Huang Lu's mercy, their lives hanging in the balance.
Xu Yi looked at Li Wen, "Uncle Li, how should they be dealt with?"
"Uncle Li..."
"Uncle Li?!"
Li Wen snapped out of his shock, having devised a plan in mere seconds.
"Split up the companies of their three families, and then let Furun Group gradually acquire them."
Shen Shi roared in anger, "Li, don't push it too far! If you take our companies, how are we supposed to live? You might as well just kill us."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Lu snatched the knife back.
Shen Shi: "..."
Gu Feng looked at Huang Lu with pleading eyes, "Young Miss, is there a compromise? We can't afford this punishment."
Huang Lu looked at Xu Yi, "Brother, what do you think?"
Xu Yi: "I'll listen to Uncle Li."
Li Wen: "I'll follow Miss Huang's lead."
The three of them: Are you guys playing hot potato?
Xu Yi stated decisively, "Just as Uncle Li said, we'll take over the three companies. That way, they won't have the strength to seek revenge on me."
Ji Bowen was so enraged he almost spat out a mouthful of blood, "You little beast, you're truly greedy! So young, yet more ruthless than Li Wen."
A cold glint flashed in Huang Lu's eyes, "You dare insult my brother. Open your mouth."
The bodyguards below carried out the order expressionlessly.
Slap, slap, slap~
The only sound left in the entire conference room was the crisp crack of a slap.
The force was fierce and vicious, even knocking out two of his gold teeth.
The other two, witnessing this, immediately fell silent, trembling like cicadas in winter.
"I am informing the three of you, not discussing. Since my brother has decided, you have no choice. Will you voluntarily hand over your companies, or will Magic City intervene?
You choose."
Tears of heartache and unwillingness flowed from the eyes of the three men, but seeing the slap so close, they could only nod with aching hearts.
Damn it! We were so close!
Why does this son of a bitch keep finding relatives every day?
Wasn't he supposed to be an orphan? How does he have more relatives than my own family.
At this moment, the resentment the three men felt towards Xu Yi could sustain ten evil sword immortals.
"Young Miss, can we leave now?"
"You stay."
Xu Yi pointed at Ji Bowen.
"Sister, we have him to thank for being able to recognize each other today. It's thanks to him bringing me here."
Ji Bowen was so touched he was almost in tears.
Repaying kindness, a good child.
I misjudged you earlier, uncle...
[Moved Value +30]
"If he hadn't had his subordinates point guns at the backs of our heads to bring us here, we definitely wouldn't have come.
Fortunately, the guns didn't go off, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to see you."
Huang Lu's delicate eyebrows shot up, and she couldn't help but draw her sword again.
"You really wanted to kill my brother, attack him!"
[Negative Emotion Points +500]
Ji Bowen: Xu Yi, I'll fuck you up*****
