Life Changing System-Chapter 55 Xi Kong Hai’s Rage
Superintendent Yang did not care how Xi Dong was feeling. An order was an order.
Even though Xi Dong had the Xi family backing him up, his mind could not be changed. If he had to choose an enemy between the Xi family and General Huang Qian, he would choose to cross the Xi family without a doubt.
Because right now, even though the Xi family was one of the five most influential families in Beijing, it was still in fifth place. The Xi family was actually the weakest among all the five families, which had relatively equal influence. 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄ｅ𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺
The order from General Huang Qian to give Xi Dong a life sentence meant that the General was trying to destroy the Xi family.
If the Xi family retaliated, it was possible that the five most powerful families in Beijing would become history—because there might only be four from now on!
“Superintendent Yang, are you sure you want to declare yourself an enemy of the Xi family?” f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂
Even though Xi Dong’s face was white, his tone was threatening. He had clearly calmed down from his panic.
“Becoming the Xi family’s enemy? Of course, I wouldn’t dare. But I have no choice,” Superintendent Yang said with a calm expression.
“Who gave this order? I want to know who I angered,” Xi Dong asked. He remembered Lieutenant Jong's remarks quite clearly, which made him quite ridden with worry.
Superintendent Yang sighed. He walked over to whisper into Xi Dong’s ear.
It was like the whisper of death. Xi Dong’s knees weakened. He collapsed onto the ground in an instant.
“I… impossible! How could this be?!?” Xi Dong’s lips quivered. He shouted with a hoarse voice.
All the colour drained from his face until it was as pale as a sheet. His body shook uncontrollably.
“That’s just how it is.” Superintendent Yang waved his hand at the other policemen. “Lock him up at the station first.”
“Yes, sir.” Two policemen took Xi Dong by his arms to get onboard the police car nearby.
The young man did not try to fight. It was as if his soul had been sucked out of his body.
“T… this is not good!” Heng Gong started to realise that the situation was going downhill. He quickly retrieved his gun from a storage space in the Audi.
“Gotta make a run for it!” Heng Gong did not want to end up in jail. He jerked the car door open and leaped out of the vehicle, running off in one direction.
At the same time, he pointed the muzzle of his gun at Superintendent Yang, preparing to shoot.
Before he could do that, someone blew out his brains!
The person who had done that was Captain Cao. He’d noticed from the get-go that Heng Gong wanted to run away, so he handled the situation before Heng Gong had a chance to fire his gun.
“Well done, Captain Cao.” Superintendent Yang patted Captain Cao’s shoulder and smiled at him.
“It’s my duty, sir,” Cao Song answered calmly, but in his mind, he could not help but feel proud.
“All right, everyone, carry on with your work. Captain Cao and Lieutenant Jong, follow me back to the station.”
Superintendent Yang gave these orders. He then returned to the Xing Zhou City Police Station with Captain Cao, Lieutenant Jong, and the alleged offender, Xi Dong.
Other policemen spread out to do their jobs. Some were taking care of Heng Gong’s body.
..............................
One hour later, in a room inside a huge house belonging to the Xi family in Beijing, an old man was sitting on an office chair, sipping tea.
His name was Xi Kong Hai, and he was the current leader of the Xi family. Though he was at the advanced age of seventy, Xi Kong Hai still had not given up his position as the leader of the family to his oldest son, Xi Duan—Xi Dong’s father.
It was not that Xi Kong Hai did not want to give up the throne. The problem was that right now, the Xi family’s situation was not very good.
The family’s status was in decline. Previously, it had been as powerful as the other four influential families. Now, they had become weaker.
Due to this, Xi Kong Hai still could not give up his leadership.
“Dad! We’re screwed! Something bad has happened!”
Xi Kong Hai was taking a tea break after taking care of some documents when the door was thrown open. A middle-aged man in a suit ran in with a panicked expression.
There were many characteristics on his face that looked like Xi Dong. Actually, to be correct, it was Xi Dong who looked like him. This man was none other than Xi Dong’s father, Xi Duan.
“What happened?” Xi Kong Hai frowned. He looked at his eldest son with a slightly dissatisfied expression, as the other party was interrupting his leisure time after work.
Xi Duan stopped short in front of Xi Kong Hai’s desk. He was still panting with exhaustion. It was obvious that he had run with all his might to get here.
“Li… little Dong, Little Dong was arrested by the police!” Xi Duan spoke with a shaky voice. His face was drained of colour.
Xi Kong Hai blinked and asked with a tone of annoyance, “It’s just this trivial matter? You’re fretting over this small stuff, Duan?”
“Dad… no, this is not a trivial matter. Little Dong was arrested for dealing drugs and possessing over a hundred thousand pills!”
“What?!?” As soon as he heard what Xi Duan had said, Xi Dong Hai jumped off of the chair.
His face changed drastically. “What did you say?”
Seeing Xi Kong Hai’s changed expression, Xi Duan’s heart shrank. It was beating furiously with fear.
“Little Duan is dealing drugs. He has been arrested by the police for possessing over a hundred thousand pills…”
Bang!
Xi Kong Hai’s palm slammed on the desk in front of him. Some documents were scattered in the air.
“Xi Dong dared to deal drugs?” The corners of Xi Kong Hai’s mouth twisted. He clenched his jaw. Green veins bulged out of his forehead.
It was not hard to see how furious he was. The term he used to refer to Xi Dong was different, too.
Instead of calling Xi Dong ‘Little Dong’ the way Xi Duan did, the old man was referring to his grandson differently now!
