Chapter 282: Chapter 282: The Fear Dominated by Song Yunuan

Xia Bowen looked at his children with their various expressions and sighed. "I don’t know how much longer I can work, but we can’t live in this big courtyard anymore. If you have belongings here, pack them up quickly. After three days, we need to vacate this place."

Glancing around, Xia Bowen continued, "What I’ve given you is more than what 90% of fathers could offer. But because you had me, your starting point was higher than others’. You know what kind of life you’ve had and what paths you’ve taken."

But I might have reached my limit here.

The foundation and connections I’ve given you should suffice for a lifetime."

What did that mean?

The Xia family members sitting there started to feel uneasy.

Xia Bowen said, "All my assets at present, including my salary for this month, will go toward compensation for Xia Xindong."

Xia Sheng suddenly stood up. In most families, it was the second child who was often overlooked.

Xia Ming was the eldest, Xia Zhi was the youngest son, and Xia Liying was the only daughter. It wasn’t that Xia Sheng was deliberately ignored. The main reason was that Xia Sheng was exceedingly mediocre, not outstanding in any way.

Thus, he felt somewhat invisible at home.

This made him uncomfortable at heart.

But many opportunities given to him were of no use. Naturally, he had nothing to say. However, when it came to his parents’ assets, he was entitled to a quarter share. Why should it all go to Xia Xindong?

Xia Bowen didn’t want to tell them. He wished he could have given it secretly, but his assets were accounted for, and the children were aware. To say they weren’t concerned would be a lie.

Who wasn’t concerned?

But he couldn’t keep any for himself.

Xia Bowen’s expression turned cold. "What are you implying?"

Xia Sheng: "Dad, even if there’s compensation, it shouldn’t be you who compensates. Shouldn’t it be my uncle who pays? Shouldn’t all of this be covered by the Shangguan family? Besides, Xia Xindong made them tens of millions in profits. If there’s compensation to be made, they should be demanding it from the Shangguan."

Xia Ming exchanged a glance with his wife.

At that moment, he actually admired his wife, Xiaomin.

She had said at home that they had ruined the lives of Xia Xindong and Zhu Feng and there should be compensation. She had mentioned that father could still work and perhaps had agreed to some conditions.

His wife was indeed right.

Xia Ming asked, "Other than compensation, is there anything else? "

Xia Bowen finally felt a bit relieved. If Xia Ming had joined the pandemonium, Xia Bowen really wouldn’t have cared anymore.

The diary was found. It considered several aspects but was not surrendered.

He knew someone was returning a favor to him. Once this favor was returned, they wouldn’t help him with any future issues.

Xia Bowen didn’t want to look at the diary, but he had to.

And sure enough, it was indeed written there.

There was a lot at the very beginning.

So much that his heart was full of anger.

Thinking of this, Xia Bowen’s expression cooled. Let’s take it one step at a time. He had done right by Shangguan Yunqi and his four children, setting them up with the best paths for their future.

If they couldn’t live well or survive without him, then there was nothing he could do.

Xia Bowen: "This is the only thing. There’s nothing else."

Xia Liying’s sharp voice shouted, "This is too much. It would have been enough to give compensation. You should release my mom."

Xia Bowen stood up: "Fine, Liying. When I go to Nanshan County Town, you should come with me. You can say it yourself. After all, your dad is not young anymore. I continued working for the sake of your futures. But if you’re all so capable and don’t need your old father to lead the charge, then I won’t say anything. I’ll listen to your arrangements."

Xia Liying was stunned and immediately remembered the fear of being under Song Yunuan’s control.

Dare she go?

I wouldn’t dare!

That wretched girl’s mouth is like it’s smeared with poison, and her moves are fierce, utterly fearless, too.

How could she be her match?

Xia Liying, with her face covered, started crying.

Xia Bowen said, "Xia Ming, call your third uncle and ask him to come over. You all start packing your things."

Xia Zhi, dejected, said, "Dad, I support you, Song Yunuan is not an average young lady. If she gets ruthless, she’s even more so than my mom. Better not provoke her lightly."

Xia Bowen merely nodded his head, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

He couldn’t quite identify the feeling in his heart.

Everything before him couldn’t compare to Song Yunuan.

After Xia Ming made the call, Third Child Xia was stumbling and crawling over here, struggling to get by these days.

He felt he would go mad sooner or later.

He had visited temples and Taoist temples, secretly praying a lot, but it was all in vain.

While sleeping, he always felt Huang Xiaocui standing at the head of the bed, foaming at the mouth, staring at him.

If this continued, he wouldn’t live long, and he really would have to atone to Huang Xiaocui with his life.

So when his second brother called him, he came right away.

Soon after, Xia Bowen summoned him to the study.

Meanwhile, in Xiangjiang, in a luxury villa perched halfway up the hill, Second Young Master Zhong, with disheveled hair, stood in the living room, gazing at Chairman Zhong with a gloomy and manic look. All around were smashed vases and ornaments, with the servants standing at the door, not daring to enter.

With a wave of his hand, Chairman Zhong dismissed the servants, then he asked Second Young Master Zhong, "With so many beautiful women around, why do you only have eyes for Shangguan Wan? You’ve seen it, Chairman Shangguan has agreed now, but she can’t come back from Beidu. What can we do?"

Second Young Master Zhong clutched his head and wailed shrilly, "I want her, I want her, if they don’t bring her back, I’ll kill your most beloved eldest son—no, no, no, I’ll kill your entire family ..."

Chairman Zhong took a step back, a flash of murderous intent in his eyes. If it weren’t for a condition in his first wife’s will, he would have killed this madman already.

It was truly a disgrace.

He had no choice but to speak amiably, "But in this state, how would Shangguan Wan dare to marry you?"

Second Young Master Zhong immediately froze, then clutching his head, thought for a while, and suddenly revealed a foolish smile, "Dad, if I am good, will Little Wan marry me then?"

Chairman Zhong saw him alternate between madness and stupidity and looked at him with aversion, then he had no choice but to nod, "Yes, if you are good, that will do."

Second Young Master Zhong was silent, then squatted to pick up the crushed cakes on the floor and started eating them greedily.

Noticing that he calmed down, Chairman Zhong gave the bodyguards a look, and then the expressionless bodyguard standing at the doorway shot him.

There was no sound, it was a tranquilizer gun.

A few moments later, Second Young Master Zhong collapsed to the ground.

Chairman Zhong glanced over, then withdrew his gaze, turning away indifferently.

The bodyguard stepped forward and picked up the emaciated Second Young Master Zhong, his face devoid of emotion, and went to the bedroom.

After a look, he turned and left.

This bedroom had no windows, only 24-hour lighting and security cameras.

Second Young Master Zhong, Zhong Shaoqing, gently clenched his hand, then quietly released it.

Chairman Zhong and Eldest Young Master Zhong went to the study together.

Eldest Young Master Zhong said, "Daddy, it’ll be three years before the second brother turns twenty-five, and to safely secure that island and the money, we need to endure three years. But I’ve heard that the country where the island is located seems to be introducing new policies. If that’s true, wouldn’t our efforts be in vain?"
