Chapter 51: My eyes light up. Is it possible to be like this?
Listening to Shen Anyu, Han Xiu did not relax in the slightest. Because he knew that if Shen Anyu decided to act against the Han family, then the Emperor Capital Han Family would be vulnerable!
The silence in the opulent CEO's office was suffocating. Han Xiu, usually the majestic ruler of a 500-billion-yuan empire, felt a cold sweat trickling down his spine, soaking his expensive bespoke shirt. The immense pressure radiating from the mere mention of the Shen Family made his hands tremble slightly as he gripped the phone.
However, as the carefully cultivated successor of the Emperor Capital Han Family, Han Xiu had controlled Han Tian Real Estate Co., Ltd. for several years and had been tempered by experience. He took a deep breath, forcing the air into his constricted lungs, and forced himself to calm down. A strained, ingratiating smile appeared on his face, even though Shen Anyu couldn't see it.
"Young Master Shen, please don't tease Han Xiu. Han Xiu was almost scared out of his wits by you just now!"
"If there's anything you need, just give the order!"
Shen Anyu's voice came through the receiver, light and breezy, carrying a hint of amusement that only terrified Han Xiu further.
"I'm here to save you!"
Han Xiu's Face was full of questions, and he asked in confusion: "Young Master Shen, Han Xiu is slow-witted, I don't understand what you mean?"
At this point, Han Xiu frowned tightly, his mind racing through a dozen conspiracy theories in a split second. He asked in a condensed, serious voice: "Young Master Shen, have you perhaps learned that another Family is acting against my Han family? Or trying to deal with me?"
"Han Xiu, do you still remember your half-brother, Han Qi?" Shen Anyu asked unhurriedly.
"Young Master Shen, Han Xiu naturally remembers him!"
How could Han Xiu not remember Han Qi? That name was a stain on his perfect record.
Han Qi's birth mother was killed by people he sent, and the perpetrators were also silenced by Han Xiu. It was a flawless elimination. What Han Xiu regretted somewhat was not being able to kill Han Qi, this so-called brother who threatened his position as the Han family's successor.
However, Han Qi was scared out of his wits afterward. He fled like a stray dog and even married into an ordinary Modu Family, becoming a laughingstock in the Emperor Capital's upper society. Coupled with the obstruction from his father, Han Tian, the Han family head who still harbored guilt, Han Xiu didn't take further action.
In Han Xiu's opinion, even if Han Qi guessed that the car accident was his doing, without evidence and without power, what could he do to him, the firmly established Han family successor?
A mere live-in son-in-law, living like mud in a gutter—could he still threaten a dragon soaring in the sky?
Shen Anyu, however, spoke up, his tone sharp and piercing: "Han Xiu, you were careless!"
"Han Qi appears to be a timid live-in son-in-law, but in reality, he has secretly accumulated a large amount of power. Dragon King Mr. Han of the Modu underworld is Han Qi!"
"This is only three years; if you give him another ten or twenty years, you'll be in big trouble!"
Shen Anyu knew that it wouldn't even take ten or twenty years; with the Child of Destiny's development speed and "Protagonist Halo," Han Qi would likely be able to overthrow Han Xiu and regain control of the Emperor Capital Han Family within a few years!
However, Shen Anyu's words about ten or twenty years had already caused Han Xiu's expression to change drastically. The blood drained from his face.
"Good for Han Qi, playing the long game with me!" Han Xiu hissed through gritted teeth.
To endure what others cannot endure—sleeping on brushwood, tasting gall, washing feet for his in-laws—one must certainly have extraordinary ambitions! Han Xiu knew with his toes what Han Qi was trying to achieve with such painstaking effort and enduring hardship.
It was nothing more than seeking revenge on him and regaining the Han family throne.
Killing intent flashed in Han Xiu's eyes, radiating a cold light.
This time, even if his father, Han Tian, tried to stop him, he would kill that brother. He would tear him limb from limb to prevent any future trouble.
At worst, he would finish everything once and for all, even forcing his father, Han Tian, that old man who favored Han Qi, off his position! The head of the Emperor Capital Han Family could only be him, Han Xiu!
And to achieve all this, his own strength alone was not enough; he needed external help to crush the "Dragon King" of the underworld.
What external help could compare to Young Master Shen?
Han Xiu wore a respectful and fawning smile on his Face, even though the Emperor Capital and Modu were thousands of miles apart, and even though he couldn't be seen on the other end of the phone, he still smiled and said fawningly:
"Young Master Shen, thank you for informing Han Xiu of this important news!"
"Han Xiu will never forget this great kindness and benevolence!"
"As long as you give the order, no matter what it is, Han Xiu will do it for you!"
Shen Anyu smiled on the other end, his voice calm and controlling: "Han Xiu, you are a clever man. I think highly of you!"
"The new head of the Emperor Capital Han Family, besides you, no one else is worthy!"
Han Xiu was immediately overjoyed. With Shen Anyu's words, the position of the Emperor Capital Han Family head was secure! No elder would dare oppose a candidate backed by the Shen and An families. As for Han Qi, he was even less worth mentioning!
Subsequently, Shen Anyu instructed Han Xiu not to act rashly for the time being and to wait for his orders before making a move. And Han Xiu respectfully agreed, without the slightest objection.
After hanging up the phone, Han Xiu let out a long sigh of relief, collapsing back into his leather chair. He wiped his forehead with the back of his hand, finding it already drenched in cold sweat.
"Phew... With Young Master Shen's help, the position of the Emperor Capital Han Family head is secure!"
His eyes narrowed, turning vicious and cruel.
"As for Han Qi, hmph, if not for Young Master Shen's other arrangements, I would send someone to kill you right now!"
"What Emperor of the Modu underworld, Dragon King Mr. Han, you are nothing but an ant!"
Han Xiu's gaze swept around, finding that the female secretary, Yun Na, had already left, and his expression softened a bit. Although he had been somewhat obsequious in front of Young Master Shen, he didn't want this scene to be seen by outsiders. He also needed to save Face.
Although in front of Young Master Shen, Face was not worth mentioning!
[Location: Riverside Luxury Mansion, Modu]
[Ding! The Child of Destiny Han Qi's fate has undergone a huge fluctuation, plundering +500,000 destiny value!]
Shen Anyu's eyelids twitched as the notification popped up in his vision.
Good heavens, five hundred thousand destiny value, this Han Qi is quite plump! This was the first time Shen Anyu had received such a large sum of destiny value!
"But it's also normal. By directly pulling the rug out from under him, exposing Han Qi's true nature of feigning weakness to ambush his prey and enduring hardship, Han Xiu is now wary, and the difficulty for Han Qi to turn things around has skyrocketed tenfold!"
Han Qi's greatest weapon was his secrecy. Now, he was naked in the spotlight.
"This, however, makes me 100% certain that Han Qi is the Child of Destiny!"
Shen Anyu's eyes lit up, and he smiled. If before, he was somewhat uncertain whether Han Qi was the Child of Destiny. But plundering destiny value means Han Qi is 100% the Child of Destiny!
And, he's a very plump kind of Child of Destiny! Plundering five hundred thousand destiny value in one go made Shen Anyu incredibly pleased!
"Furthermore, in the future, I can identify Sons of Destiny by suppressing them, instead of spending ten thousand destiny value to test them!"
"Of course, after confirming a Child of Destiny, it's still best to spend ten thousand destiny value for a more detailed identification!"
"Now that it's confirmed Han Qi is the Child of Destiny, I'll find an opportunity to contact him for a detailed identification!"
Thinking of this, Shen Anyu had a good idea and instructed Aunt Xiao, who was standing respectfully by the door:
"I want to host a banquet and invite some people from Modu's upper society."
"Especially Liu Shiming, the director of Shanghai First People's Hospital, and his daughter, Liu Mi!"
"And the Family of Han Qi and Liu Qingyue."
Aunt Xiao replied respectfully: "Yes, Young Master!"
Immediately, Aunt Xiao respectfully presented two items on a velvet tray, saying: "Young Master, these were found on Wei Yun's body, and they are quite valuable!"
Shen Anyu's gaze swept over them; one was an extremely intricate human skin mask. Wei Yun had used this exquisite human skin mask to disguise himself as an ordinary little security guard at Modu University. Such a human skin mask must have been made by a master, requiring at least several millions to tens of millions to customize.
Shen Anyu, however, didn't care; he could have countless such items with a wave of his hand. Besides, Shen Anyu preferred new items and disliked second-hand ones. Unless it was a top-grade item!
"You can have these things," Shen Anyu said dismissively.
Aunt Xiao's expression immediately brightened. Although the Young Master didn't care for this human skin mask, it was a good item for them to use in covert operations.
Next, Shen Anyu's gaze turned to the second item, and he became interested...
