Everyone assumed that Xia Hao was Xia Yunuo's adopted son.
Xia Yunuo is Xia Qianran's third aunt.
Xia Wanhao, Xia Boundless, and Xia Yunuo are siblings. The current head of the family is Xia Wanhao, who is also Xia Qianran's father.
Xia Boundless is Xia Qianran's second uncle, and Xia Yunuo is Xia Qianran's third aunt.
They all own shares in Guxia New Energy Group and are shareholders of the company.
"But in reality, Xia Hao is Xia Boundless's biological son."
Xia Wanhao and his generation consisted of five sons: Xia Wanhao, Xia Boundless, and Xia Yunuo, each of whom had a daughter. Xia Hao was the only son among his generation in the Xia Family.
However, he was adopted.
An adopted son naturally has no right to inherit.
But it doesn't matter now, Xia Hao is finished.
During Ling Yi's Simulation Rescue, he saw news about Xia Hao's death sentence.
No matter how wealthy a family is, everyone is equal before the rules.
Do you really think it's like those brainless plots in short dramas? Nine out of ten domineering CEOs are ignorant of the law!
Wealthy families may have certain privileges, but privileges cannot exist outside the rules.
"I'm not surprised that my second uncle is Xia Hao's biological father, but I'm curious about who Xia Hao's biological mother is," Xia Qianran asked curiously.
"Your stepmother!"
"What?" Even Xia Qianran, who was usually very composed, was starting to panic.
Xia Qianran's stepmother is Xia Wanhao's concubine.
Xia Wanhao has three wives. His first wife, who is also Xia Qianran's biological mother, died ten years ago in a car accident.
His second wife is still alive, but she has set up a temple inside the mansion, where he eats vegetarian food and chants Buddhist scriptures every day, claiming that he has seen through the vanities of the world and will spend his life with only the ancient Buddha and the lamp.
His third wife was Xia Qianran's stepmother.
At thirty-two years old this year, I am in the prime of my youth, at the Pinnacle of my life, and about to retire.
"Something's not right. Xia Hao is 17 years old this year, right? Does that mean my stepmother was not even 16 when she gave birth to Xia Hao?"
"Is this melon guaranteed to be ripe? It seems so unreliable," Su Mu asked skeptically.
"My melons, Ling Yi's, are guaranteed to be ripe!" At this moment, Ling Yi had already driven the car to an auxiliary road next to the east gate of the park.
After parking the car, I took out my phone and set a countdown.
"Back then, your stepmother was still a high school student, but she didn't study hard and was a notorious troublemaker at school. Xia Boundless was only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old at the time."
"The two met outside a bar, both were drunk, and then slept together."
Su Mu chuckled, "This plot... it feels kind of familiar!"
"I'm not like President Xia; we're both adults. Xia Boundless's actions are just picking up the pieces."
"So, my stepmother was actually placed by Xia Boundless to be by my father's side, and Xia Hao, who is also Xia Boundless, could be arranged to be my third aunt's adopted son?"
Ling Yi snapped his the Snap: "President Xia is smart; that's the key point of this story."
"No, how exactly do you know all this?" Su Mu asked curiously.
Xia Qianran was also very curious.
How did they know all this? Of course, it was during the Simulation Rescue, when they used some crazy methods.
To obtain this information, Ling Yi stabbed Xia Boundless more than thirty times and killed more than sixty people.
During the Simulation Rescue, Ling Yi went berserk and nearly wiped out the entire Xia Family!
Since it's Simulation Rescue, nothing that happens in it will affect the real world.
Naturally, the crazier the better!
"How I knew is something you definitely don't want to know."
"Fine, don't tell me then!" Su Mu rolled her eyes.
"So, Xia Boundless is the real mastermind, and the one who really wants to kill me?" Xia Qianran frowned.
"We indirectly killed his own son. Xia Boundless is now insane."
"Although we've dealt with Xia Hao and prevented Xia Hao from posting kill orders on the Dark Web, the corrupted and insane Xia Boundless is even more terrifying than Xia Hao."
Su Mu asked, puzzled, "Since you knew Xia Boundless would turn evil and Xia Boundless, why didn't you try to eliminate him yesterday?"
"Because I didn't know these things yesterday."
"Is that so?"
"I am still a human being, not a god!"
"That means you'll become a god in the future!"
Ling Yi shrugged. Who knows what will happen in the future?
"By the way, didn't you say you were going to the Dihao Hotel? Why did you stop here?"
"Of course, it's to save you!"
Ling Yi glanced at the countdown timer on his phone. "Time's almost up!"
As Ling Yi finished speaking, two vans drove up from behind.
After approaching Ling Yi and his group, Ling Yi sandwiched their car between them, one in front and one behind.
More than thirty people got out of the van.
Everyone was armed with sticks and other weapons, and they rushed towards both sides, starting a fierce fight outside Ling Yi and the others' car.
It looks like a shootout.
"This acting is so fake!" Su Mu looked at the noisy crowd outside the car and was speechless.
Xia Qianran asked Ling Yi, "Are we just going to wait in the car?"
"You guys wait in the car, don't come out." Ling Yi clenched his fist, then opened the car door.
"Hey, what are you doing? There are so many people outside, are you out of your mind?" Xia Qianran asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, I never do anything I'm not sure I can do!" Ling Yi said, then got out of the car and closed the door behind him.
" Ling Yi, are you planning to take on this whole group by yourself?" Su Mu peered out through the car window.
Xia Qianran didn't speak, but stared nervously out the window.
After getting out of the car, Ling Yi didn't waste any words and knocked out a nearby unlucky guy with a single punch.
Ling Yi strolled through the crowd as if taking a leisurely walk, knocking out anyone with a single punch.
In the blink of an eye, they were all lying on the ground, except for one person wearing sunglasses, a mask, and a baseball cap, who was tilting his head and looking at Ling Yi curiously.
"You're pretty good at fighting!" the man Taunt disdainfully as he saw Ling Yi walk towards him.
Ling Yi was too lazy to waste words with this person and continued walking towards him.
The speed is neither slow nor fast.
"So what if you can fight? It's just a matter of one bullet!" The man in sunglasses pulled out a pistol from his waist and pointed it directly at Ling Yi.
Xia Qianran and Su Mu, who were inside the car, felt their hearts pounding as they witnessed this scene.
"They actually used guns! Xia Boundless has really gone mad. Using guns in Ancient Country is courting death!" Xia Qianran's voice was icy cold.
In Ancient Country, seeing a gun was a big deal.
"I told you it didn't need to go through all this trouble! Bringing in this trash to put on a show is such a waste of time!"
As the man in sunglasses spoke, he pulled the trigger directly at Ling Yi without any warning.
However, as if he had foreseen this, Ling Yi tilted his upper body slightly the instant Ling Yi fired the shot.
The bullet grazed Ling Yi's shoulder as it flew away.
Ling Yi murmured, "There's still a difference between Simulation and reality. The bullet's trajectory was off by a tiny bit. It seems I need to be more careful in the future and not rely entirely on memories from Simulation Rescue."
"Interesting, someone can actually dodge bullets? Damn, do you think you're Neo? I don't believe it!"
Bang bang bang!
Three more gunshots rang out.
Ling Yi's body flashed three times as if by Teleportation, and he appeared in front of the man in sunglasses.
The man in sunglasses no longer had a chance to fire.
"Are you a human or a ghost?" the man in sunglasses asked.
"I am a god!" Ling Yi punched out, shattering the sunglasses on the man.
The man in sunglasses rolled his eyes and immediately fainted.
Ling Yi bent down and took a cell phone out of the sunglasses-wearing man's jacket pocket, then skillfully entered the password.
I opened my call log and dialed the most recent number.
The phone rang for three seconds before being answered.
"Tell that cowardly scumbag hiding behind me to keep a safe distance so I don't find Laozi!"
