Chapter 1 The Encounter

The person who came was Song Anran's older brother, Song Anguo.

"Chen Xiao, do you have time? Come with me, I have something I want to talk to you about."

Song Anguo went straight to the point, his tone brooking no refusal from Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao frowned slightly, but for Song Anran's sake, he nodded. "Wait for me, I'll tell my family first."

Chen Xiao returned to the dining table and told his mother and the others, then left the house and got into Song Anguo's car.

Song Anguo drove in silence, his face as long as a donkey's, as if Chen Xiao owed him a lot of money.

Chen Xiao didn't bother to ask him anything; he would naturally speak when he wanted to.

It wasn't until they drove out of the villa district that Song Anguo said nonchalantly, "Nice house."

Chen Xiao replied indifferently, "A friend gave it to me."

Song Anguo snorted disdainfully. "With your background and family circumstances, being able to live in such a house in this lifetime is probably due to your ancestors' graves smoking."

Chen Xiao wasn't angry and asked with a playful expression, "What do you mean by that?"

"Nothing, just stating the facts."

Song Anguo turned his head, glanced at Chen Xiao, and said expressionlessly.

Chen Xiao chuckled and said nothing. He wanted to see what Song Anran's older brother wanted from him.

After that exchange, Song Anguo didn't say another word to Chen Xiao on the way. He drove directly to the riverside, to a deserted area.

"Get out of the car!"

After Song Anguo parked the car, he said in a commanding tone.

Chen Xiao got out of the car, and the two walked to the riverside together. Song Anguo finally revealed the purpose of calling Chen Xiao there.

"I called you out here just to tell you one thing... stay away from my sister!"

Chen Xiao laughed. "What are you talking about?"

"Boy, don't play dumb with me. Do you think I don't know about you and my sister?"

Song Anguo said roughly.

Chen Xiao frowned slightly. "What's going on? Can you explain it to me? Song Zhuren and I are just ordinary friends!"

"Ordinary friends?"

Song Anguo sneered. "Ordinary friends can get this close? And because of you, Xiao Li came to our house to break off the engagement. Now, that little brat Song Anran has even located such an important studio in Jiangcheng. You call that ordinary friends?"

"I don't know what you're talking about. I, Chen Xiao, have a clear conscience. Besides, I already have a girlfriend."

Chen Xiao replied calmly.

"You have a girlfriend, but my sister doesn't have a boyfriend yet. If you don't stay away from my sister, how will she find a husband?"

Song Anguo said with anger.

Hearing this, Chen Xiao almost laughed out of anger. "Your Song family is at least a prominent family, and you look like someone who has received a higher education. How can you speak with such outdated ideas? The Qing Dynasty has been dead for hundreds of years. Don't you know that?"

Song Anguo's face grew even longer, and he argued unreasonably, "Don't give me that useless talk. How I speak is none of your business. In short, stay away from my sister!"

Chen Xiao said neither humble nor arrogant: "You should tell that to your sister. If you want me to stay away from her, you might as well have her stay away from me first... of course, that's if you can do it!"

"You..."

Song Anguo was exasperated. "What do you mean by that? Are you saying my sister is clinging to you? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? What do you think you are? Is my sister going to die if she leaves you?"

"You shouldn't ask me that!"

Chen Xiao's face turned cold.

"Boy, stop pretending in front of me. I'm telling you, your identity as some Jiangbei big shot is worthless in front of me!"

"My sister will definitely not be with someone like you. Look at that smug look on your face! Don't think you're a big deal now. I'm telling you, someone like you doesn't even have the qualifications to enter my Song family!"

Song Anguo became more and more agitated as he spoke, spitting everywhere.

Chen Xiao couldn't listen anymore. He kept repeating the same thing, just saying that Chen Xiao wasn't worthy of Song Anran.

"Are you done? If you're done, I'm leaving. I'm very busy and don't have time to argue with you!"

This was Song Anran's older brother. If it were anyone else, Chen Xiao would have slapped them already.

"You brat, stop right there! Did I say you could leave?"

Song Anguo raised his hand and pointed at Chen Xiao, shouting.

Chen Xiao sneered and glared at Song Anguo.

"What, you think you can stop me?"

Song Anguo's eyes narrowed instantly. He hadn't forgotten that when they first met, Chen Xiao had almost crushed his hand.

He subconsciously took half a step back, snorted angrily, and said with a fierce look: "Hmph, if you don't agree to me today, be prepared to leave your little life here!"

As soon as Song Anguo finished speaking, a flurry of footsteps suddenly came from all around, densely packed, with an unknown number of people!

"Shua shua shua—"

Men in black suits emerged from all over the riverside. Each of these men had a fierce aura and a surging killing intent.

They held weapons such as steel knives and axes in their hands. Some people had bulges around their waists, obviously carrying firearms.

Seeing these people, Chen Xiao couldn't help but sneer: "You think they can keep my little life here? Song Anguo, you're already old, how can you still be so naive?"

The ambush set up by Song Anguo had at least a hundred people, and each of them had been through many battles. If they were placed among ordinary people, each of them would be able to fight a hundred alone.

But in Chen Xiao's eyes, they were no different from ants.

Not to mention killing Chen Xiao, even wanting to hurt Chen Xiao was like a fool's dream!

"Of course, there's more. Since I dared to call you out today, I've naturally investigated your strength!"

Song Anguo sneered, clapped his hands, and ten people immediately walked out from behind a levee.

The aura of these ten people was much stronger than those in black suits. Their eyes shone brightly, and their temples were bulging high. They were obviously well-trained martial artists.

Chen Xiao smiled disdainfully: "Qi realm martial artists, Song Anguo, is this what you're relying on? Since you said you investigated me, you should know that killing Hua realm martial artists is as easy as killing chickens for me!"

"Of course, I know that!"

Song Anguo flicked his sleeves and stood with his hands behind his back. "Jiangbei Dragon Head, what great prestige. You can kill Hua realm martial artists, but I wonder if you can dodge a sniper rifle bullet!"

As soon as Song Anguo finished speaking, several red dots landed on various vital points on Chen Xiao's body, clearly the scopes of sniper rifles!

It turned out that Song Anguo had set up several sniper ambushes on several high points along the river.

And this was his greatest reliance!
