King of Assassins-Chapter 746 - 552 Dawn_2

Wang Anquan stood by and immediately realized it was over. The old man was experiencing a final burst of energy, exhausting all his life force, resulting in such a display.

Elder Su tightly held Su Rong's hand: "Rongrong, I'm entrusting the Su Family and the Group to you. Don't let grandpa down."

At this moment, Elder Su's speech was exceptionally clear, and his mind was extremely lucid.

Su Rong also realized that her grandfather was truly at the end, and tears flowed uncontrollably, "I will definitely not let you down, Grandpa."

"Good child, good child."

Elder Su's gaze shifted. Surrounding the bed were his children and grandchildren.

This large group of people saw that Elder Su seemed to be looking for someone. They instinctively stood up straight, for if the old man had a sudden change of heart at the end, it could lead to many additional benefits.

Elder Su's gaze swept around, not finding the person he was looking for. He raised his voice slightly, "Where is Gao Xuan?"

This shout startled the entire Su family.

At the very end, looking for Su Rong was one thing, but to seek out Gao Xuan too, this was great news for Su Rong.

The crowd was both envious and jealous, automatically making way to reveal Gao Xuan at the back.

Gao Xuan hadn't expected to have a part to play and was slightly surprised. He quickly walked to the old man's bedside, "Elder, I am here."

Elder Su deeply looked at Gao Xuan, whose face was sincere and frank, making people involuntarily believe him.

After a thought, Elder Su waved his hand, "All of you, go out. I want to say a few words with Gao Xuan."

The crowd was bewildered—what private words did the old man have to say to Gao Xuan at such a time?

Although they didn't understand, they could only leave.

Elder Su glanced at Su Rong beside him, "Rongrong, you go out too."

"Huh?"

Su Rong was greatly surprised. Why speak to Gao Xuan behind her back?

Seeing the old man's firm expression, Su Rong could only leave.

After everyone had left, Elder Su grabbed Gao Xuan's hand, "Gao Xuan, I'm dying. Can you tell me the truth?" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Gao Xuan asked somewhat puzzled, "What does the old man want to ask? Just ask."

Elder Su was a bit hesitant. He found Gao Xuan suspicious and couldn't see through him, but didn't know what exactly to ask.

After thinking, he said, "What is it that you really want?"

"That question stumped me. I haven't really thought about it."

Gao Xuan sighed lightly, "I know you're worried I'll do bad things, detrimental to Rongrong. No matter what, I won't do that. You can rest assured and go."

Elder Su stared straight at Gao Xuan, who returned the gaze candidly.

Elder Su saw nothing in Gao Xuan's eyes, so he softly said, "Rongrong is entrusted to your care. This is the old man's last request."

"Of course," Gao Xuan answered sincerely.

Elder Su sighed internally, knowing such a conversation ultimately meant little, but he couldn't help but try.

Once dead, what arrangements could he make? The world would no longer concern him. Threatening Gao Xuan was pointless and might provoke malice instead.

Elder Su sighed wearily, slowly closing his eyes, "Let them in..."

Gao Xuan waved to call the Su family in, and immediately, a slew of children swarmed around the old man.

The old man spoke a few brief words and then stopped breathing.

The Su family had been prepared for this, and most remained expressionless. Only Su Rong's face was full of grief.

In a room full of people, probably only Su Rong truly grieved for the old man.

The Su family had money and gave the old man a grand funeral.

Since the old man had been gradually relinquishing control over the years, Su Rong faced some obstacles in taking over the Group, but overall, it went smoothly.

Thus, at twenty-seven, Su Rong became the leader of the multi-billion-dollar Su Group.

Gao Xuan's status naturally rose along with the tide, becoming even more sought after.

However, Gao Xuan remained very reserved, almost never interacting with the Su family unless it was with Hu Bai or playing basketball at the school.

Nonetheless, he persuaded Su Rong to loan two hundred million from the Group and established an investment fund.

Gao Xuan's investment choices were straightforward: one was Pinduoduo, and the other, Douyin.

Pinduoduo had been online for several months and had some momentum. However, most people were not optimistic about Pinduoduo, believing the e-commerce landscape was already set and Pinduoduo couldn't compete with Taobao and JD.com.

Ultimately, Pinduoduo was just a low-end version of Taobao.

Gao Xuan liked old songs from Earth and was quite knowledgeable about human history from the past era. He generally knew this period's internet development trajectory.

Pinduoduo and Douyin were both potential stocks, and investing now was profitable.

Of course, specific matters were handled by professionals; he only did strategic direction.

By 2016, Pinduoduo had opened up a new market on the internet, their e-commerce business penetrating below third-tier cities to towns and villages, tapping into the middle-aged and elderly's consumption potential.

Douyin, too, rapidly gained popularity with its music short video format. The widespread participation made Douyin full of life force, greatly increasing its influence.

That year, Su Rong gave birth to a daughter for Gao Xuan, named Su Le.

In the world of the Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada, Gao Xuan had a fair number of children. However, this little daughter born to his legitimate wife was different.

From then on, Gao Xuan's focus also shifted towards his child. Accompanying a human baby in growth had many troubles, but also witnessed the joy of life's growth.

In 2018, when Pinduoduo went public on the U.S. stock market, Gao Xuan's investment had multiplied forty times.
