Chapter 252: Chapter 252: Apologizing at the Doorstep

Chen Ziyang wasn’t surprised by their arrival at all.

He had already anticipated this day when he had asked Xiao Ran to go back with them.

The Evil Technique had not been completely removed from Xiao Ran!

Moreover, Xiao Ran had been marked by Chen Ziyang, meaning that only Chen Ziyang could help her!

If Xiao Zhen didn’t want his daughter to become a Refined Slave, he had to plead with him.

The two went straight to Chen Ziyang’s office.

However, they were much more polite than before, first standing at the door and gently knocking.

"Hello, is President Chen Ziyang in?"

Outside, it was Xiao Lijie’s voice.

Chen Ziyang sat on the sofa and chuckled coldly.

Xiao Lijie used to be so arrogant that his nostrils were almost up in the air, but now he had learned what manners were.

However, Chen Ziyang didn’t utter a word.

It was quiet outside the door for a moment.

Xiao Lijie knocked again, "President Chen, I am Xiao Ran’s brother. I just saw that your office light was on and knew you were inside. May I come in and apologize to you, please?"

Chen Ziyang still didn’t respond.

About a minute later, Xiao Zhen’s voice finally came through.

"Little President Chen, I am Xiao Zhen, Xiao Ran’s father."

Xiao Zhen’s tone was quite unnatural, "No matter what past grievances we had, human life is at stake. Please give us a chance, thank you."

Clearly, Xiao Zhen wasn’t accustomed to speaking so humbly, and his tone was somewhat awkward.

Chen Ziyang’s lips curved up.

"Come in."

The two pushed the door open and entered.

Xiao Lijie’s fingers were wrapped in a plaster bandage; the fingers that Chen Ziyang had broken last time still throbbed faintly in pain.

And Xiao Zhen was still leaning on that dragon-headed cane.

But Chen Ziyang noticed that his figure was more hunched than before, and he looked significantly more haggard.

He believed that this old man must have run around a lot recently for Xiao Ran’s sake.

Last time things had been so tense, and now that the two were coming to Chen Ziyang, it indicated one thing.

They had no other options left!

They must have tried every possible solution, but still couldn’t rid Xiao Ran of the Evil Technique.

"Little President Chen, sorry for the intrusion."

Xiao Zhen’s face was stiff, and the corners of his mouth twitched as he tried his best to smile apologetically, "This time I came bearing some modest gifts, hoping you won’t despise them."

Xiao Lijie tactfully took out a check from his bosom and placed it on the coffee table in front of Chen Ziyang.

"President Chen, this ten million is our way of apologizing to you!"

Ten million?!

The number somewhat shocked Chen Ziyang.

He knew the Xiao family was wealthy, which was evident from the high-handed behavior of Xiao Zhen and Xiao Lijie.

However, giving a gift of ten million right off the bat was indeed a grand gesture.

The father and son from the Xiao family observed Chen Ziyang’s reaction.

To their disappointment, they couldn’t see any trace of excitement on Chen Ziyang’s face.

Although Chen Ziyang was somewhat shocked inside, his expression was filled with nonchalance.

"Trying to buy me out?"

Chen Ziyang just glanced at the check and said with a faint smile, "I don’t quite understand the significance of this ten million."

"Apology!"

Xiao Zhen earnestly said, "Previously, we were ignorant and misunderstood Little President Chen! It’s also Ranran’s fault for not telling us about such a major issue at home, making us wrongly accuse you!"

"Haha, Old Master Xiao, do you think what you just said makes any sense?"

Chen Ziyang raised his eyebrows, "The way you all stormed in that day, even if Xiao Ran had explained the situation to you, would you have believed her?"

Xiao Zhen was taken aback.

Chen Ziyang continued, "Even if you did believe her, would you have agreed to this method of removing the Evil Technique from her?"

Their faces turned sour.

"The two of you coming here today must mean that you’ve tried every possible method and leveraged every connection you could, and ultimately couldn’t solve it. Thus, you come here, reluctantly seeking help, right?"

Chen Ziyang crossed his legs, "Simply put, if you had any other options, neither of you would be here today!"

His blunt words left the two without any room for maneuver.

Chen Ziyang placed his hand on the check.

The two saw his action and initially got a bit excited, but then realized that he was actually pushing the check back.

"Old Master Xiao, if I’m not mistaken, you must have investigated me and know what I do."

Chen Ziyang smiled confidently, "Ten million, it’s not a small amount! But my company makes a net profit of more than a million a day! I could earn this amount in less than half a month! Trying to use money as a door opener... it won’t work!"
