Magic City.
Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo walked out of the airport.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
There were more than ten suitcases, carried by the bodyguards.
This trip to Bear Country, they had bought a whole lot of local specialties, most of which were meant to be given away as gifts.
After getting home, An Nuonuo immediately took all the things sheâd bought to give them away.
Jiang Xu, seeing that it was still early, decided to visit the headquarters of âBlueprintâ.
Upon arriving at the companyâs entrance, he saw some employees cleaning the walls.
It looked as if someone had splashed paint all over them.
Jiang Xuâs expression darkened slightly as he approached and asked, âWhat happened?â
âAh, Mr. Jiang.â
âThis is what happened: early this morning when we came in, we saw that the main entrance and the walls on both sides were splattered with paint.â
Jiang Xu, âHave you found out who did this?â
âFrom the surveillance video, it was done by two men in black masks.
Weâve already filed a report, but thereâs no news yet.â
The first person Jiang Xu thought of was Bai Hong sending someone to do it.
After all, there had been recent grievances, and the only one with a motive to do such a pointless thing was him alone.
He went to Bai Xiaoyaâs office.
Upon knocking and entering, he saw her with red eyes.
âAh, when did you get back?â Bai Xiaoya was somewhat taken aback.
She hurriedly tried to find her sunglasses to put on.
Her current appearance was far from attractive.
âJust got back,â Jiang Xu sat down on the sofa, his tone solemn, âWhy are you crying? Is it because of the Bai Family?â
âIâm not crying,â Bai Xiaoya stubbornly said, âI stayed up late watching dramas last night and am not feeling energetic today.â
Jiang Xu didnât bother to poke holes in her poor excuse.
Instead, he asked about the paint vandalism.
Bai Xiaoya composed herself: âI also suspect the Bai Family did it, but thereâs no evidence.â
She looked at Jiang Xu.
After hesitating for a while, she still spoke, âBai Hong called me last night.
He said, if I really wanted to sever ties with him completely, I should give him three hundred million in cash, plus a 10% share of âBlueprintâ.â
Jiang Xu raised an eyebrow, âWhat did you say?â
âOf course I couldnât agree,â Bai Xiaoya said helplessly, âHe then threatened me, saying without the money, no one would have peace.â
It seemed clear then that the paint was definitely orchestrated by Bai Hong.
This kind of tactic wouldnât cause any real damage to the company, but it was certainly disgusting.
After thinking for a few seconds, Jiang Xu said, âCall him again, give him one last chance.â
âOkay.â
Bai Xiaoya dialed Bai Hongâs number.
He picked up instantly.
âMy good daughter, good afternoon,â Bai Hongâs languid voice came through.
Bai Xiaoyaâs face was full of disgust, not wanting to talk to him at all.
âMr. Bai,â Jiang Xu took the phone, casually pressed the record button, and started, âLetâs talk.â
âOh, Mr. Jiang is there too,â Bai Hongâs tone improved slightly, âWhat can I do for you?â
Jiang Xu said bluntly, âSister Xiaoya is now a valuable asset to me, and Iâd appreciate it if you stopped harassing her.
Iâll give you one billion, and in return, youâll never bother her again.â
Jiang Xu was willing to repeatedly back down entirely because Bai Hong was, after all, Bai Xiaoyaâs biological father.
If a more amicable solution were possible, he was somewhat willing to compromise.
âOnly one billion!â Bai Hongâs pitch went up, but then as if having a second thought, he said, âFine.â
Jiang Xu spoke indifferently, âThis one billion wonât be given to you right away.
I need you and Wang Li to show up; Iâll invite some journalists and esteemed members of influential families.â
âBefore everyone here as witnesses, you promise never to harass Sister Xiaoya again,â he continued.
He wasnât a fool, obviously he wouldnât just give the money.
Bai Hong became furious, âThatâs impossible, at least 1.5 billion!â
He had indeed been harboring the idea of coaxing Jiang Xu for some money to spend at first.
After all, if he wanted to become the next clan leader, he needed money to manage all aspects.
âHehe,â Jiang Xuâs voice was cold as frost, âBai Hong, I ask you one last time, are you insisting on clinging to Bai Xiaoya?â
Bai Hongâs voice also turned cold, âJiang Xu, Iâll call you Mr. Jiang, but donât think too highly of yourself.
No matter what, Bai Xiaoya is my biological daughter.
Even if I donât treat her well, itâs a family matter, and you have no right to interfere!â
Jiang Xu hung up the phone directly.
Looking at Bai Xiaoya, whose mood had soured again, âSister Xiaoya, if I destroy the Bai family and leave Bai Hong and Wang Li homeless, would you blame me?â
By destruction, he certainly didnât mean to wipe out the Bai family members but to shatter everything the family had and plunder it away.
Bai Xiaoya looked worried, âCould this cause any trouble for you?â
Jiang Xu laughed, âEven if it does have an effect, it will be a positive one.â
Bai Xiaoya understood.
She bowed deeply to Jiang Xu, âOne cannot thank enough for such a great kindness. When you have children, I will give a generous gift.â
âHaha, I thank you on their behalf in advance,â he responded.
Now that he had decided to deal with the Bai family, Jiang Xu no longer hesitated.
The first thing to do was to issue a âProclamation Against Villains.â
Jiang Xu had Bai Xiaoya take out all the evidence she had collected of the Bai familyâs misdeeds against her, including recordings.
He would assign someone to organize them and release them alongside the âProclamation Against Villains.â
Bai Xiaoya was also to write a public letter severing all ties with Bai Hong, Wang Li, and the Bai family completely.
Following that, Jiang Xu contacted An Feng and Fu Xinghan again.
This was not their first time handling such matters, and everyone was already well-versed in the process.
Moreover, this time, all circumstances were greatly in their favor.
Failure was absolutely not an option.
An Feng and Fu Xinghan naturally agreed without hesitation.
Then they discussed the specific process.
At the same time, Jiang Xu also did something secretlyâ¦
The next morning, the âProclamation Against Villainsâ was sent to all major noble families.
The content was as follows:
Proclamation Against Villains
In todayâs world of thriving technology and cultural advancement, there still exists those with the hearts of wolves and the lungs of dogs.
We cannot stand idly by and must rise to denounce villains in order to maintain social justice.
â¦
The proclamation was written at great length, totaling thousands of words, which fully exposed the Bai familyâs actions.
Of course, the âProclamation Against Villainsâ employed a tad bit of rhetorical embellishment.
But that wasnât important.
The crucial part was that the content was completely true.
It also came with related photos, audio, and other evidence.
At the same time, Bai Xiaoya publicly posted an article online.
It was unbiased and recounted her experiences in full detail.
From the words, one could feel just how desperate she had been at the time.
This public disclosure immediately caused a huge stir on the internet.
At the same time.
Inside the Bai family.
As the âProclamation Against Villainsâ and Bai Xiaoyaâs statement were released, the entire Bai family was thrown into chaos.
