In fact, the layout of this company was no different from what it was nineteen years ago. Xiao Yongze and Song Jiaxi could walk around the company with their eyes closed.

After touring the entire first floor, Xiao Wenyao finally came rushing in.

Xiao Wenyao looked at the crowd of people in front of him, with a slightly uneasy feeling. He was about to directly face the world's richest and most influential boss, and his heart was pounding with nervousness.

Zhao Secretary was the first to catch sight of Xiao Wenyao and instantly breathed a sigh of relief. She hurried over to Xiao Wenyao's side. Xiao Yongze and Song Jiaxi followed her gaze and, upon seeing him, the hatred in their eyes seemed to be on the verge of erupting.

"Mr. Xiao, you've finally arrived. Come with me quickly."

Before Xiao Wenyao could say anything, Zhao Secretary had already pulled him over, shattering the carefully prepared demeanor of a "successful person" in an instant.

He bent over and extended his hand in a smooth, fluid motion.

"Sean... BOSS... Mr. S, hello!"

People around them covered their mouths to stifle their laughter. It was no wonder Zhao Secretary was his subordinate – like leader, like follower. How amusing!

Xiao Yongze and Song Jiaxi exchanged a glance, and the hatred in their eyes turned to mockery.

Zhao Secretary covered her face in embarrassment. It was one thing for a secretary like herself to make a fool of herself, but for the leader to be even more inept than her...

She immediately whispered a reminder: "Sean's surname is Xiao, it's Xiao!"

At that moment, Xiao Wenyao was still bent over, his face flushed red, either from the strain or from embarrassment.

Upon hearing Zhao Secretary's reminder, he quickly corrected himself: "Mr. Xiao, hello!"

Xiao Yongze extended his hand and lightly touched Xiao Wenyao's outstretched hand, letting out a soft laugh: "Well, long time no see, Mr. Xiao."

That voice caused Xiao Wenyao's brain to freeze for a moment, as memories long buried in the depths of his heart suddenly resurfaced.

Xiao Wenyao trembled all over. Thinking he had been bowing for too long, Zhao Secretary quickly helped him up.

The face that had nearly faded from his memory suddenly appeared clearly before his eyes.

Xiao Wenyao staggered back a step in disbelief, barely being caught by the clueless Zhao Secretary.

Xiao Wenyao's fingers trembled as he pointed at Xiao Yongze, "You... how can you..."

Song Jiaxi tightly held Xiao Yongze's hand. Xiao Yongze looked at her reassuringly, then turned his head and sneered at Xiao Wenyao: "Oh? Big brother, are you disappointed to see my wife and me here?"

The surrounding Xiao Group employees gaped, with the expressions of spectators, including the secretary supporting Xiao Wenyao.

Xiao Yongze signaled to his assistant, and Assistant Wang and the bodyguards cleared out the onlookers, leaving only the trembling Xiao Wenyao behind.

Xiao Wenyao's face was deathly pale. "How can this be? Just a few days ago..."

Just a few days ago, his informant had been reporting to him about Xiao Yongze's current situation. They should have been begging in Country S, but now Xiao Yongze had somehow become Sean?

"What do you mean, 'Just a few days ago'? Do you mean I should have been begging?" Xiao Yongze scoffed coldly, taking out his phone and appearing to edit something. Soon, Xiao Wenyao's exclusive notification sound rang out.

Xiao Wenyao's heart skipped a beat, as if sensing something was amiss. He quickly took out his phone to check the new unread message, his eyes widening in an instant.

"Xiao Yongze and Song Jiaxi have returned to take revenge on you."

Xiao Yongze also showed his phone screen to Xiao Wenyao, displaying the same message as sent successfully...

"Unfortunately, the informant you arranged was dealt with long ago. All these years, the one giving you updates has been me. Surprised? Unexpected?"

Xiao Wenyao took a step back, bumping into a chair and sitting down weakly.

If it were like before, he would have had enough money to hire someone to quietly get rid of these two without anyone noticing. But now, he had the desire but not the means...

He regretted deeply that he hadn't just killed them outright back then, instead indulging his twisted desire to see them suffer. But alas, there was no cure for regret.

Suddenly, he realized what was off about the phone call Zhao had received earlier. She had said they were collaborating with the Xiao Group, not with him, Xiao Wenyao...

"What do you want?" Xiao Wenyao seemed to have given up.

Xiao Yongze stroked his chin as if pondering. "What do we want? Well, of course, to send you to jail to face the consequences you deserve!"

"Oh, and the nanny you had instructed to kill my daughter has already been caught. The evidence of your involvement in gangs and drug trafficking has also been gathered and handed over to the police."

Xiao Yongze glanced at his watch. "Oh, look at the time. The police should be here soon. Big brother, you'd better prepare yourself!"

"You..." Upon hearing this, Xiao Wenyao suddenly stood up and tried to charge at Xiao Yongze, but was immediately knocked down by a spinning kick from Song Jiaxi. f𝚛𝗲𝐞𝐰e𝗯n𝗼v𝗲𝚕.𝚌o𝐦

"Think you can hit my husband? Let's see if you have what it takes!" Song Jiaxi huffed angrily, giving off a Barbie-meets-Kung-Fu-fighter vibe.

Xiao Yongze bent down and rested his head on Song Jiaxi's shoulder. "Honey, you scared the poor guy. It's a good thing I have you to protect me!"

Over the years abroad, Song Jiaxi had insisted on learning Taekwondo and boxing so that she wouldn't hold her husband back during their revenge. Now, her skills finally came in handy.

Xiao Wenyao lay on the ground, clutching his swollen face and glaring furiously at the couple.

At that moment, Policeman Shi entered with a few officers, pausing momentarily at the sight of Xiao Wenyao on the ground. He then took out his badge and said:

"Xiao Wenyao, you have been reported for involvement in gangs, drug trafficking, and contract killing. Please come with us!"

Before Xiao Wenyao could react, he was handcuffed, struggling and shouting: "I'm innocent! They're framing me!"

Policeman Shi remained expressionless. "Whether you're being framed or not will be clear after the investigation. Take him away!"

Just like that, without any preparation, Xiao Wenyao was taken away in a police car.

Zhao Secretary stood dumbfounded at the entrance, watching the departing police car and swallowing hard. Who was he? Where was he? What had happened?

However, she silently rejoiced that she was merely a diligent working person and had never helped Xiao Wenyao with any shady business. Otherwise, her reputation would also have been tarnished.

The news quickly spread throughout the Xiao Group building, and no one felt like working anymore. With the boss gone, would they still get paid...?

Xiao Yongze and Song Jiaxi looked at each other and smiled in unison.

Xiao Yongze boasted, "Honey, see how awesome your husband is? It took me just one day to put Xiao Wenyao behind bars."

Song Jiaxi gave him a disdainful look. "Look at your behavior. If you had done this earlier, wouldn't he have been locked up long ago?"

Xiao Yongze looked aggrieved. "It's not that I didn't want to. I was just delayed in gathering evidence of his crimes. But as soon as I got the evidence this morning, I took care of him..."

Song Jiaxi patted his head and smiled, "Okay, okay, my husband is the best!"

Assistant Wang called over the dazed Zhao Secretary. Xiao Yongze cleared his throat, "Zhao Secretary, I'm now the major shareholder of the Xiao Group. Xiao Wenyao has been taken away by the police. To be on the safe side, I need to review the company's operational history and personnel information over the years, as well as any instances of misconduct. Please cooperate, Zhao Secretary."

Zhao Secretary immediately nodded, "Yes, yes, I'll get on it right away."

Xiao Yongze turned to Assistant Wang, "Notify the Xiao Group employees that from now on, the Xiao Group will be under X International. Those willing to stay can continue working diligently. Those unwilling to stay can settle their accounts with HR and leave. You'll be fully in charge of these matters."
