Chapter 17 Who exactly is this important figure?
The Xiao family's living room.
The Xiao family members gathered together, but the atmosphere was somber.
"No matter what, we must rescue Yichen!" Xiao Hongyuan said solemnly from the head seat.
The Xiao family all nodded in agreement.
“He is the hope of the Xiao family in Nancheng, Shanshan, you know what to do.”
Everyone looked at Xiao Shanshan.
"Even if it means ruining my reputation, I will ensure my little brother's safe return from the law enforcement bureau," Xiao Shanshan said resolutely.
They've already discussed it.
Although Xiao Chen submitted evidence, as long as Xiao Shanshan insists that it was not a crime and there was no criminal fact, Xiao Yichen's charges will not stand.
However, this will have a significant impact on the reputation of the Xiao family.
Especially Xiao Shanshan, her life may be ruined.
"For my younger brother, for the Xiao family, I am willing to sacrifice myself, but I can't swallow this insult no matter what! I want Xiao Chen to suffer ten times more than I have!" she said viciously.
There wasn't a single member of the Xiao family who didn't hate them.
"Damn Xiao Chen, damn jinx! I should never have let him live!" Qu Ying gritted her teeth, completely disregarding the fact that he was her own son.
"How dare he speak so arrogantly, saying that my Xiao family is about to decline! It's laughable! We are one of the top families in Nancheng, and with Yichen, the son of a true dragon, we will only become more and more prosperous. Even a hundred years from now, we will still be glorious!" someone mocked.
The Xiao family all laughed, mocking Xiao Chen's overestimation of his abilities.
What gives him the audacity to claim that the country is in decline?
"Xiao Chen must be severely punished so that he will never dare to disrespect the Xiao family again!" an elder said.
"Don't worry, everyone. Zhang Qin has a terminal illness and must take the special medicine prescribed by the Xiao family hospital regularly. It won't be long before Xiao Chen comes begging to us, groveling for her." Xiao Yiyi sneered.
She had already planned out how to torture and punish Xiao Chen.
When the time comes, I will make him wish he were dead!
The Xiao family members smiled knowingly.
"Master, something terrible has happened!" A hurried voice suddenly came from outside the living room.
Soon, a member of the Xiao family rushed in, looking panicked.
"What's the rush?" Xiao Hongyuan asked, his face darkening.
"Master, the ten prominent figures of the Southern City who once strongly supported you have jointly announced that they are severing ties with our Xiao family!" the man reported.
"What did you say?"
Xiao Hongyuan was shocked and stood up abruptly.
The ten prominent figures mentioned by the servants were ten people from the southern part of the city, all of whom were highly respected and held extraordinary positions.
When Xiao Hongyuan was running for the position of family head, he had no advantage because of his mediocre achievements. It was only with the strong support of the ten prominent figures that he was able to win the position of family head.
Xiao Hongyuan always treated these ten people with utmost respect and never dared to offend them.
Upon hearing that they had severed ties with the Xiao family, Xiao Hongyuan felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.
Without them, I'm afraid it would be difficult to hold onto my position as head of the family.
"How could this be?" Xiao Hongyuan was completely baffled.
Even they want to turn against the Xiao family, what's going on?
Just as Xiao Hongyuan was feeling confused and worried, someone else rushed in.
"Madam, something terrible has happened! Just now, all of your cosmetics company's distributors terminated their contracts, returned all the goods, and threatened never to cooperate with you again!" the visitor exclaimed in panic.
"What? Contract cancellation? Return?" Qu Ying's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, her face full of disbelief.
She is a heavyweight among female entrepreneurs in Nancheng.
Because she single-handedly founded a cosmetics brand and successfully established a stable sales channel, her company can hold a place in the cosmetics industry even in the provincial capital.
This is an achievement that Qu Ying is very proud of.
She never worries about sales channels or volume because she has signed long-term contracts with several powerful distributors. All she needs to do is keep producing to generate a steady stream of profits.
Upon hearing the bad news, she was jolted, feeling as if the sky had fallen.
"What happened? Why did they suddenly terminate the contract?" Qu Ying couldn't understand.
The cooperation with distributors is quite harmonious; they even proactively raised the purchase price and surprised us on several occasions.
The CEOs were extremely polite to her, so why did they terminate the contract without saying a word?
Qu Ying was frantic with worry.
"Contact the heads of four distributors immediately!" she ordered anxiously.
That brand and company are her lifeblood!
The Xiao family members looked at each other in bewilderment.
How is this going?
Having just experienced the tragedy of Xiao Yichen, the Xiao family is now facing another sudden change, adding insult to injury.
"Fortunately, nothing happened to Yiyi, otherwise it would have jeopardized the Xiao family's foundation!" someone said thankfully.
No sooner had he finished speaking than another person rushed in, looking panicked.
The Xiao family members felt a sudden unease.
"Young Miss, something...something has happened!"
“Our partners terminated their cooperation at almost the same time, our supply and sales channels have been paralyzed, and several departments have forcibly entered the company to investigate, saying that we have more than a dozen violations. Now... they want us to suspend operations for rectification!”
Before the man could finish his report, Xiao Yiyi's pretty face had already turned ashen.
Unexpectedly, even the Jiahua Company she managed fell victim to it...
That was the pillar industry of the Xiao family, and it suffered such a huge blow overnight!
The Xiao family was extremely anxious and at a loss.
"What happened? What exactly happened? Why did the Xiao family suffer such a drastic change? Didn't the fortune teller say that with the arrival of the true dragon's son, the Xiao family would have a smooth future?" someone cried out.
"The son of the true dragon is imprisoned; my Xiao family is in grave danger!"
Xiao Yiyi's face was so gloomy it looked like it was about to drip water.
"Could it be that Xiao Chen's words have really come true?" Xiao Shanshan frowned deeply.
Xiao Chen said that the Xiao family would begin its decline from today, and in less than half a day, the Xiao family was already teetering on the brink of collapse...
The Xiao family members were stunned upon hearing this.
But it was only for a moment. They absolutely did not believe that Xiao Chen could predict the future, let alone imagine that he had the ability to harm the Xiao family.
“I think… our Xiao family must have offended someone!” Xiao Yiyi said seriously after careful consideration.
"This person is no ordinary individual; he is not someone we can afford to offend. He has the power to destroy the Xiao family!"
Xiao Yiyi's words were like a wake-up call.
The Xiao family members were all startled and turned to look at Xiao Shanshan.
If there really is such a person, it can only be the mysterious big shot behind her.
"Don't look at me, I really don't know who that person is..." Xiao Shanshan complained incessantly.
Everyone says he has a powerful figure behind him, but she has never met him or had any contact with him. Where can she find him?
If he really existed, and she had truly offended him, she would be eager to meet him in person and respectfully apologize.
Such a person, who can decide the fate of the Xiao family at will, is beyond comprehension; naturally, we must curry favor with him.
Xiao Hongyuan's face was grim, his brows furrowed.
"No matter what, we must find this mysterious big shot and obtain his forgiveness!"
The Xiao family members all nodded in agreement.
Everyone wants to find the mysterious person, but where should they look for him?
