Chapter 1413 Ge Family Members Arrive
"What? You want Su Yunxi to be the head of the Kyoto Su family? You must be joking!"
Su Tianhuang was stunned for a moment.
Su Yunxi and the others were also taken aback. They never expected Chen Xuan to make such a request. Su Yunxi was so young, how could she possibly be the head of the Kyoto Su family?
"Why would I joke? I'm very serious!"
"This is not up for discussion!"
"Not up for discussion? Hehehe, you should carefully consider the Kyoto Su family's situation! The Kyoto Su family is not a major family anymore, nor is it a sought-after commodity. It's a dynasty on the verge of collapse..."
Chen Xuan seemed indifferent.
Su Tianhuang began to hesitate, because Chen Xuan was right.
"Su Tianhuang, there's no need to rush. You should go back and consider it carefully. We'll negotiate again once you've made up your minds."
Chen Xuan said with a faint smile, "I won't be keeping you here for dinner!"
Helplessly, Su Tianhuang and Su Qingyang left dejected, having received nothing but a cold shoulder.
They never expected the Vermilion Bird lineage to refuse so decisively, and they were also very surprised that Chen Xuan would make such an outrageous demand. However, the Kyoto Su family was in peril. If they couldn't resolve the current crisis, the Kyoto Su family might fall from grace and no longer be among the esteemed Nine Gates of Kyoto.
But Su Tianhuang could not accept Su Yunxi becoming the head of the Su family, so he had to return to the Kyoto Su family to consider the matter further.
At the Vermilion Bird lineage's residence.
"Chen Xuan, aren't your conditions too harsh? How could the Kyoto Su family agree?" Jiang Biyun frowned, looking bewildered.
Old Master Su also said gravely, "As far as I know, no family head in the Kyoto Su family has ever been under forty years old."
"Who says not?"
"Chen Xuan, what are you thinking?"
Everyone's gaze finally fell upon Chen Xuan, filled with curiosity.
Chen Xuan smiled faintly and said, "To be honest, I never actually expected Su Tianhuang to agree."
He simply didn't want Su Yunxi to get involved in this mess. Although the Kyoto Su family was one of the lower three of the Nine Gates of Kyoto, it was still a top-tier conglomerate in Xia Nation. For the Kyoto Su family to be on the brink of collapse so suddenly was definitely not normal.
If Su Yunxi returned to the Kyoto Su family, she would likely be affected as well. If the Kyoto Su family were sincere towards the Vermilion Bird lineage, they would gladly go through fire and water for them. But clearly, the other party just wanted to use the Vermilion Bird lineage. Why else would they do this?
"I understand..."
Su Yunxi seemed to grasp Chen Xuan's thoughts and gave him a grateful look. "I shouldn't have been so sympathetic. The Kyoto Su family isn't worth my effort."
"That's right," Chen Xuan nodded.
Jiang Biyun shook her head and sighed, "The Kyoto Su family..."
"What a shame. This is a quagmire. Otherwise, if we could return to the Kyoto Su family, the Vermilion Bird lineage would surely regain its prestige!"
Old Master Su also said.
However, they also understood the current situation and knew it wasn't worth the Vermilion Bird lineage returning to the Kyoto Su family.
Just then, with a bang, the villa's main door was pushed open.
A security guard rushed in, "Miss Su, Mr. Chen, something major has happened!"
"What happened?"
Chen Xuan asked with a frown.
The others also looked over.
"The Ge family is here..."
"The Ge family?"
"Yes, the Ge family from the Nine Gates of Kyoto. Ge Guozhi from the Kyoto Ge family is here."
Upon hearing the name, Old Master Su immediately said in a deep voice, "Chen Xuan, this Ge Guozhi is the younger brother of Ge Xiong, the head of the Kyoto Ge family. He is a ruthless and malicious person, and he has a steward under him who often does dirty work for Ge Guozhi."
"Why has this guy come?"
Chen Xuan wasn't surprised by Ge Guozhi's arrival. He probably heard about him killing Ge Feipeng, and regardless of whether it was true or not, they wouldn't let this matter go.
"It's just a minor issue. I'll go handle them."
Chen Xuan didn't want Su Yunxi and the others to worry about such trivial matters. He said calmly and walked out of the house with the security guard.
Indeed, when he reached the entrance, he saw two figures standing outside.
One man was dressed in a suit and tie, with a white shirt underneath. His hair was meticulously combed, giving him an imposing appearance, but his face was extremely gloomy at the moment, his eyes filled with killing intent!
The other man stood behind him, dressed as a servant. He was not tall, with a hunched back, and his face was covered in wrinkles. Although he was only forty or fifty years old, he looked much older, like a seventy or eighty-year-old.
That man had a smiling face, but Chen Xuan caught a scent of blood on him.
This scent of blood was not something an ordinary person would have. It was like a butcher who had been slaughtering pigs and sheep for a year or two might not emit such a smell, but this man exuded a strong scent of blood and a faint aura of killing intent.
The lives this man had taken were probably countless!
"May I know who is looking for me?"
Chen Xuan said faintly.
"Are you Chen Xuan?"
Ge Guozhi asked.
The butler Ge beside him also sized up Chen Xuan. Although his eyes were smiling, they were like X-ray machines, capable of seeing through Chen Xuan.
"Indeed. May I know what you need from me?"
Chen Xuan grinned.
"I am Ge Guozhi, Ge Feipeng's father. I heard you saw my son before he went missing. I'd like to ask you about the situation. Do you have time to find a place to talk?"
Ge Guozhi seemed quite cautious and did not directly accuse him.
"Yes."
Chen Xuan nodded faintly, appearing completely unguarded.
"Mr. Chen, please get in the car." The butler Ge smiled and opened the door of a Rolls-Royce, extending his hand to invite Chen Xuan in.
"Thank you."
Chen Xuan nodded and stepped into the car.
Ge Guozhi and Butler Ge exchanged a look and a hint of mockery flashed in their eyes. They thought this guy was an idiot! Couldn't he see the situation?
But they had no idea that Chen Xuan's thoughts were similar to theirs: to find a secluded place and kill these two!
In terms of treachery, they were certainly treacherous, but in terms of strength, they were still far behind, so the outcome was bound to be tragic.
The surrounding security guards watched Chen Xuan and the others smiling, unaware of the danger, and let Chen Xuan leave in the Ge family's car.
The Rolls-Royce sped towards the deep mountains and forests according to the prearranged plan.
Half an hour later, they had entered the depths of the mountains. Looking around, not a single person could be seen. Only the tall buildings of the city could be seen in the distance.
Chen Xuan looked out the window and frowned, "Mr. Ge, shouldn't we find a place like a coffee shop or a tea house to discuss matters? Why are we going into the deep mountains and old forests?"
Ge Guozhi's expression changed slightly, then he regained his composure and chuckled, "Coffee shops and tea houses are too common and not quiet enough. Aren't we coming to the mountains to breathe in some fresh air? No one will disturb us, isn't that good?"
