Life Changing System

In the Xi family’s living room in Beijing, Xi Kong Hai and Xi Duan were sitting on an elegant, expensive sofa.

They sat opposite each other, with a black shiny glass table in the middle.

On that glass table were two cups of coffee, which were clearly untouched by both people. It was obvious that they were not in the mood for coffee.

“About little Dong, there’s nothing else we can do.” Xi Kong Hai let out a sigh.

Since he regained consciousness after passing out from hearing the news that the one Xi Dong had wronged had been General Huang Qian, he had been running around to see the other nine most powerful generals of China, in order to ask them to help negotiate Xi Dong’s release with General Huang Qian.

But all of them had refused. No one was going to help him. This was because they were not willing to become each other’s enemies. If it had nothing to do with their own family, it was impossible to expect them to turn on each other.

“It doesn’t matter, dad. Little Dong was the one who caused all of this. He deserves this.” Xi Duan massaged his temples. His face was pale and fatigued. He had not slept since yesterday.

“But little Dong was too much. I never thought he would be this daring.” Xi Kong Hai shook his head helplessly, thinking about the video Xi Duan had shown him.

It was not that he was not angry; he had already been extremely angry. But anger could not change anything. Thus, he chose to slowly let go of his anger at Xi Dong and instead, looked for a way to help him, because no matter what, Xi Dong was still one of his grandsons.

But despite all his effort, he could not help. Even though the Xi family was one of the five biggest families of Beijing, since they were already in decline, it was only a matter of time before they were no longer one of the five large families.

“If Big Uncle had not passed away too soon, things would probably have been better.” Xi Duan could not help but say this out loud.

The Big Uncle he spoke of was Xi Kong Hai’s big brother. He had been a general who had been just as powerful as General Huang Qian.

He had passed away five years ago from a horrible disease.

His death had resulted in the Xi family becoming weaker and going into decline.

“Don’t mention it. It’s over and done with.” Xi Kong Hai waved him off, obviously not wanting to talk about it. Talking about his late brother would not bring him back to life.

“Dad, I want Xi Du to become the heir instead of Xi Dong. What do you think?”

Out of the blue, Xi Duan brought up the topic of the family’s heir, which had been a position that belonged to Xi Dong since he had been born, because he was the eldest son.

But with the current situation, things were different. Since Xi Dong was sentenced to 50 years in prison, it was necessary to look for an alternative.

Even though Xi Kong Hai had not yet stepped down from being the head of the Xi family, and Xi Duan had not yet become its head, an heir always had to be chosen ahead of time.

“Little Du seems all right. Little Du it is. His talent is not much less than Little Dong’s.” Xi Kong Hai nodded in agreement without a second thought.

Apart from Xi Du, Xi Duan’s second son, there was no one else who had the qualities to become the heir to the Xi family after him and Xi Duan.

“That’s settled then. I will go see Little Du to let him know about this.” Xi Duan stood up from the sofa.

Xi Kong Hai said nothing. He only nodded.

After Xi Duan left the living room, Xi Kong Hai let out a long sigh.

He leaned his head on the sofa, mumbling out loud in a tired voice.

“Why is this happening to the Xi family in my time…”

...................................

Bang!

A palm slammed hard on the table.

A ruthless looking middle-aged man with a long beard was the one who had slammed his hand on the table. He wore an expensive fur coat and was sitting on an expensive chair.

His eyes were now full of anger.

“Can you tell me what has happened?” he shrieked, his voice echoing loudly around the room.

There were two more people in the room. One of whom Bai Chen would surely recognize if he were here. It was none other than Dong Gou.

Dong Gou stood shaking uncontrollably with fear.

The person who was sitting on the expensive chair and whose face was full of anger was the second most powerful member of the White Tiger Gang, second only to the gang leader. His name was Chang Du.

Having to stand in front of Chang Du while he was so furious, how could Dong Gou not be scared?

He was only here because the person next to him had dragged him out of the hospital.

Truthfully, Dong Gou was still recovering. Many teeth in his mouth were missing, causing him continuous pain. Thus, he had had to stay in the hospital, along with Lun Her, who had three broken ribs.

“I… I know. I think it must be the same person who beat me and Lun Her up. The one who killed big bro Ma Jong and the others.” Dong Gou spoke with a shaky voice. He was scared to talk about this because he knew that Ma Jong and the rest had been killed. After all, they had gone to deal with Bai Chen but had been killed by Bai Chen instead.

Looking back, he could not help but feel lucky that Bai Chen chose not to kill him.

The reason Dong Gou knew about Ma Jong and his henchmen’s death was that someone had reported dead bodies at the original crime scene to the police an hour ago and it had ended up in the news.

Certainly, Chang Du knew about this too. He had seen the news and that was why he was so furious at the moment.

He was furious to the point that he had had to send his right-hand man to drag Dong Gou out of the hospital for questioning.
