Section 6, Liu Ziqiang was very angry

... ...

He Wudi was clearly a bit excited, repeatedly saying two good words. He did not expect He Xuan to have such a profound understanding of the situation, accurately guessing nearly everything.

"What you said is no different from saying nothing at all," He Wudi said with a bitter smile

There is a solution, and that is to endure

Since our military strength is not inferior to the other two families, the only factors that can determine the size of the family are financial resources and influence. In situations where military strength is comparable, what is needed is wisdom, as only wisdom can enhance financial resources. It is evident that the He family does not have any fools; my grandfather is a cunning old fox, and my father, along with my second and third uncles, are no pushovers either. Even my cousins are all ambitious. Therefore, it is natural that we have drawn the wariness of the other two families, as they fear the He family will grow rapidly. Clearly, the younger generation of the He family is superior to theirs.

He Xuan's actions are also purposeful; by pretending to care deeply about business, he allows others to overlook his threats. When the time comes, playing the role of a pig to eat the tiger will make it easier for him to achieve remarkable success. More importantly, since he has been reborn into the He family, he will find ways to strengthen the He family. Otherwise, what is the point of being reborn? A true man must stand tall and firm, just like the legendary god of slaughter from the past. With a stamp of his foot, the heavens and earth will tremble; with a single outburst, the sun and moon will lose their light; with one strike, rivers will run red with blood.

Ahei, you are the closest to me among my subordinates. I have an important task for you, but you must ensure that it is done well for me. Otherwise..." Liu Ziqiang had his hands clasped behind his back, gazing out at the bright moon, his eyes cold and piercing.

The admiration in He Wudi's eyes grew increasingly intense, and he suddenly realized that he still had not fully understood his own son

You and that little bookworm are indirectly urging me on again. However, Xuan'er, seeing you regain your spirits truly brings me great comfort. Now, let's eat; the dishes are getting cold.

"But what? Do you have another way? Stop keeping me in suspense, you rascal." He Wudi was quite curious.

The more he spoke, the angrier he became. Liu Ziqiang gave Ah Kuro another slap, causing Ah Kuro to nearly shed tears, yet he could only endure and say: "Young Master is indeed wise and powerful, and your thoughts are certainly beyond the comprehension of a mere commoner. Therefore, I kindly ask that you clarify your intentions next time you speak, as there are truly very few in this world who can discern your thoughts. I am certainly not among them."

Indeed, a traitor. The business of the He family is thriving, but this is something only we are aware of internally. It is impossible for us to openly inform the Liu family that the He family is rapidly developing, right? This means that the He family's substantial acquisitions of medicinal materials and their transportation must be conducted in secrecy. So, why was that large order intercepted midway last time? How did the Liu family learn about our shipment of valuable medicinal materials from outside? In other words, the He family's significant acquisitions and transportation of medicinal materials must be carried out covertly. So, why was that large order intercepted midway last time? How did the Liu family know about our shipment of valuable medicinal materials from outside? After all, we divided the shipment into three batches, and it was not conducted under the He family's banner.

He Wudi stared at He Xuan for a long time, then suddenly sighed: "It seems I have always underestimated you. Perhaps your grandfather was right; letting you manage the business is a good decision. So how do you make him manifest himself?"

However, father, I have my ambitions, and you must not be complacent. I have high hopes for you in the position of head of the family. Do not forget, you also need to seek out talented individuals for me. If you cannot become the head of the family, I fear that in seeking out 'extraordinary individuals,' we may only find 'eccentrics' and not true talents.

Come here!

Currently, my cultivation is only equivalent to that of a novice martial artist. I must seize the time to train diligently, as I want to become stronger as soon as possible

A servant approached him, respectfully lowering his head, fearing that Liu Ziqiang would direct his anger towards him

Liu Ziqiang was clearly very satisfied with Ah Kuro's attitude, thinking to himself that Ah Kuro indeed knew how to read the room. He felt assured that this matter would be well handled by him: "Good, not bad, I truly did not misjudge you. If you do a good job, I will certainly not treat you unfairly."

"I guard the door for you!" Liu Ziqiang originally thought that A Hei was clever and understood his meaning, which is why he pretended to be profound and did not explain things clearly. He believed that this would demonstrate his wisdom. However, A Hei's words compelled him to give A Hei a sharp retort, "I want you to find someone to keep an eye on He Xuan, monitor him closely. He must have been assigned to manage the business on the periphery. I need to figure out his daily routine. Do you understand now? Do you understand?"

After finishing the meal, He Xuan first tidied up the room, at least to eliminate the foul odor, and then continued to sit cross-legged and practice diligently

Your suspicions are not without merit; your grandfather had similar doubts. However, he was unable to uncover who the traitor was

"Young Master, why do you need someone to guard? Is it to watch the door? Is someone planning to cause trouble? Please rest assured, with me, Ah Hei, around, I guarantee that no one will dare to come and create a disturbance!" Ah Hei clearly did not notice the flicker of hatred in his eyes and had no understanding of what Liu Ziqiang was looking for.

He Xuan shrugged his shoulders and lazily spoke again

Everything on the desk was thrown to the ground by him, including the mirror, which shattered into pieces along with the books. The cracks were numerous, and his face appeared so grotesque on the glass covered in fissures

"Traitor?" He Wu Di was filled with confusion.

His pair of eyes seemed almost capable of emitting flames

Liu Ziqiang was very angry. Looking at his already swollen face in the mirror, he seemed to feel He Xuan slapping him repeatedly beside him. Even after taking medicine, he could still feel the lingering pain, sharp and burning. This showed just how forceful He Xuan's slap had been. Now, whenever he calms down, memories of the events that occurred on the street in the afternoon flood his mind, and he seems to still hear the murmurs, laughter, and mockery of the onlookers around him

He Xuan took another big bite of chicken, appearing quite unrestrained, and vaguely said: "I'll take care of this. Didn't my grandfather send me to manage the periphery? Since that's the case, I must achieve some results. I can't let them truly regard me as useless."

After venting his frustrations, he fell silent once more, emitting a low growl reminiscent of an introspective beast

His self-esteem has suffered an unprecedented blow. Even in the last competition, he merely lost face in front of the three prominent families, but now, in front of so many onlookers and so many inferior people, he has been insulted. How can he possibly show his face on the streets again? Therefore, he is very angry. He believes that the consequences of his anger will be severe.

Liu Ziqiang was very angry, so angry that he wanted to kill He Xuan. However, He Xuan was naturally unaware of this; even if he had lived two lives, he could not foresee the future. He had been staying at home for the past few days, not even stepping outside, and he rarely appeared even during mealtimes. He told Jiang Mengru that he had matters to attend to, and if he did not come out for meals, there was no need to wait for him.

It is night, at the Liu family.

He Xuan, I will make sure you cannot escape the consequences!

Then you say, what should our He family do

He Xuan smiled faintly and spoke again: "Father, please do not be agitated; I have not finished my words. The Liu family’s actions against our He family are merely limited to suppression and dampening our spirit. They will not harm the fundamental interests of our He family. I believe that when grandfather established the He family with a silver gun, it was also with the consent of the Liu family, with the purpose of having the He family restrain the Luo family. In a city, the stability of power is best achieved with three prominent families in a balanced position, as pulling one thread can affect the whole. Otherwise, if grandfather truly relied solely on his silver gun to establish the He family, it would not have been so easy. At the very least, maintaining the He family after its establishment would have been extremely difficult."

He Xuan returned to his lazy demeanor, took a bite of the chicken leg, his mouth smeared with grease, and mumbled: "Do I even need to say this? Of course, it's just like Grandpa; a mute eats bitter herbs, suffering alone. The current He family is indeed no match for the Liu family. However... heh heh."

He Wudi's eyes flashed with divine light, and every word spoken by He Xuan was precise and to the point. If A Wang were here now, he would surely offer heartfelt compliments.

He Xuan suddenly laughed upon hearing this: "If we personally investigate and interrogate, we certainly won't know who the traitor is. The traitor will not admit to being a traitor, nor will they wear the word 'traitor' on their face. What we need to do is to remain indifferent and uninquisitive. Let the traitor reveal themselves!"

Find someone for me! Get a few strong individuals to guard the city for me. Just guard for now! The anger in Liu Ziqiang's eyes flashed and then disappeared.

A'kuro was overjoyed: "Young Master Xie, may I ask what matters you wish for me to attend to?"

Clang!

"And about the books, let's not discuss that for now. Let's talk about the traitor first." A glimmer of brilliance suddenly flashed in He Xuan's eyes

As for which family is suppressing us, this is quite easy to discern. Fourth Aunt married into the Luo family, and our He and Luo families can be considered in-laws. Naturally, the Luo family would not take action against us at this time. Moreover, any small moves they make against us would only benefit the Liu family, a fact that the Luo family certainly understands; otherwise, they would not have formed a marital alliance with our He family. Therefore, the only ones secretly scheming against us are the Liu family. To maintain their position as the local power, they must control the balance of strength between our two families. Furthermore, our He family's development has already surpassed the threshold that the Liu family can afford to ignore. I believe that when Grandfather went out to investigate this time, he most likely discovered that the Liu family was behind the scenes, stealing our batch of goods. Thus, upon returning, he chose not to mention this matter at all, effectively swallowing a bitter loss, because our He family is still unable to contend with the Liu family.

Xuan'er, rest assured, your father will definitely fulfill what he has promised you, even if it means selling everything he has!

Good! Good!

Young Master, please give your orders; I would not hesitate to face any peril, be it climbing a mountain of knives or descending into a sea of fire! Ah Kuro felt it necessary to express his heartfelt loyalty, for otherwise, it would be quite unfortunate to incur the wrath of the capricious Young Master.

He expressed his thoughts in a gentle manner, as if they had not been contemplated, and in one breath, he articulated everything that came to his mind

Young master, what is the matter

Liu Ziqiang, although aware that this was flattery, felt a sense of pride as if he were the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang. However, he could not let his emotions show on his face. He spoke again: "I knew you, this good-for-nothing, wouldn’t understand. So let me make it clear: I want He Xuan dead"
