Chapter 112 Miss Tong's Trouble
In the dead of night, Xiao Xiong and Xiao Qiang were still fast asleep.
Xiao Chen stood outside the garden with his hands behind his back, while a Netherworld Guard came to report to him.
"Your Majesty, we have located Xiao Yichen's whereabouts."
"He is currently residing in Xiao Wushuang's luxurious villa in Jiang City. It is heavily guarded, with a King-level expert hiding there, so it is not easy for us to get close."
"The rest of the Xiao family also live in that villa..."
Xiao Chen frowned upon hearing this.
The course of this life has changed.
Xiao Yichen did not live in the Jiang City branch family...
"The Xiao family seems to be planning to establish themselves in Jiang City. Xiao Yiyi and Xiao Hongyuan often go out and make contact with the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Jiang City, as if they are going to establish some kind of industry."
"Xiao Yichen travels relatively infrequently, and when he does go out, he is accompanied by a King-level expert. He comes into contact with some martial arts forces in Jiang City, but his purpose is currently unknown."
After hearing the report, Xiao Chen sneered, his eyes filled with mockery.
They want to rise to prominence in Jiang City...
If no one interferes, it will really go very smoothly, and its prosperity will far exceed that of the South City.
Because this was the capital he had created for Xiao Wushuang.
As the most shrewd and intelligent person in the Xiao family, he devoted the most effort to Xiao Wushuang.
He personally promoted her to become a top-tier actress, helped her establish a media company, and facilitated various channels. Now, Xiao Wushuang has become a big shot in the entertainment industry, with both a good reputation and a powerful background.
With her own abilities, she was successful in everything she did, and Xiao Chen had no idea how extensive her network of connections was.
The most compelling reason for this was that she had found a godfather, a high-ranking and powerful figure in the Xia Kingdom.
Such a foundation was enough for Xiao Wushuang to help the Xiao family of Nancheng grow into a large family in Jiang City.
"Since it's not advisable to investigate too deeply, let's try not to alert them," Xiao Chen said.
This time he had to be more cautious and make sure that Xiao Yichen in Jiang City was not a substitute.
We need to find out exactly how many forces the Heavenly King Palace has sent, so we can try to eliminate them all at once when we take action.
“Speaking of which, it’s time for my Underworld Palace to strengthen its control over Jiangnan,” Xiao Chen said.
After his teacher passed away, he ascended to the throne as the new King of the Underworld.
The transition from the old to the new naturally brings many problems.
He's so young, it's normal for some people to disagree.
In some places in Jiangnan, there has been a tendency to outwardly comply but inwardly defy the rules, and Xiao Chen has not personally dealt with the situation in the past two years.
After making some arrangements, he dismissed the underworld guards.
At dawn, all the disciples undergoing trials gathered.
"Same as usual today, work as a waiter in the restaurant," the instructor announced.
In addition to daily training, they would also be regularly sent to do menial jobs in the Xiao family's businesses, ostensibly to train their character and patience.
After all, although the two families had declined, their descendants still lived a life of luxury and ease.
"I seriously suspect they want free labor; this is exploitation," Xiao Qiang and Xiao Xiong complained indignantly.
Before Xiao Chen arrived, they had already done a lot of work.
Even the two seeded players are no exception; they have to do it too.
Xiao Chen refrained from expressing his opinion and chose to follow the crowd.
They were taken to the Xiao family's luxurious hotel by a minibus, and after putting on their uniforms, they began to work.
Xiao Chen was assigned the position of doorman, standing at the door to greet guests, with Xiao Qiang accompanying him.
Welcome!
"Welcome to visit us again."
The doorman was supposed to bow and scrape, but Xiao Chen never lowered his head once, only saying those two sentences politely.
"Master Chen, aren't you afraid of getting scolded by the instructors? What if you fail the trial and are sent back?" Xiao Qiang admired his courage.
They dared not, and could only obey.
Xiao Chen smiled but didn't say anything.
Unbeknownst to him, a Porsche was driving out of the Tong family villa at that moment.
"Miss, where are we going?" the driver asked.
"To Jiawei Restaurant," the elegantly dressed woman in the back seat said impatiently, her face frosty.
She is the only young lady of the Tong family, Tong Anjin, the daughter of the head of the Tong family.
"That guy named Xiao Chen has finally dared to show himself. I'm going to see what kind of person he is, daring to break off my engagement with Tong Anjin!" Tong Anjin said with a sneer.
She knew about the engagement and had always resisted it.
But when she got home and learned about the annulment of the engagement, she was furious.
Tong Anjin is an extremely proud person, and Xiao Chen's annulment of the engagement is a humiliation to her that she cannot tolerate.
These past few days she had people searching everywhere for Xiao Chen's whereabouts, wanting to get revenge, but she only received news today.
Urged on by Tong Anjin, they soon arrived at Xiao Family Delicious Restaurant.
Tong Anjin looked towards the door and immediately spotted Xiao Chen.
She had already watched the surveillance footage multiple times and had memorized Xiao Chen's appearance.
"Door boy?" Tong Anjin frowned, then a deep sarcasm appeared on her face.
"He's just a doorman at a restaurant, such a lowly and humble person, yet he dares to break off my engagement with Tong Anjin. What audacity!"
She got out of the car, slammed the door shut, and then walked towards the restaurant entrance.
"Welcome." Xiao Chen greeted him politely as always, without any hint of servility.
Tong Anjin stood in front of him, her face sullen.
"Where did this doorman come from? So unruly! He doesn't even bow to guests. Is this how a doorman should act?" she demanded condescendingly.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly, glanced at the other person indifferently, and felt completely bewildered.
"Excuse me, miss, he's new here. Please let me know if you need anything," Xiao Qiang said, bowing and scraping as he tried to smooth things over.
"Do you even have the right to speak? A doorman like you think you can teach me how to do things?" Tong Anjin glared at him, her expression full of disgust.
Xiao Qiang's expression froze, looking extremely embarrassed.
"If you're here to cause trouble, you're not welcome here," Xiao Chen said with a stern face.
Tong Anjin laughed sarcastically.
"With just a word from me, the hotel manager has to come out and greet me personally, treating me with utmost courtesy. Who do you think you are, daring to tell me to leave?" she said contemptuously.
"Apologize to me right now, or believe me, I'll make sure you can't even work as a doorman anymore!" Tong Anjin practically pointed her finger at Xiao Chen's nose and berated him.
"Heh." Xiao Chen chuckled softly.
He could easily see that this woman was deliberately trying to cause trouble and was intentionally targeting him.
“Then listen carefully,” he said, enunciating each word clearly.
Tong Anjin thought Xiao Chen had given in and showed a smug expression.
In her eyes, Xiao Chen was nothing more than a lowly and despicable person who she could trample on and humiliate at will.
He's just a doorman; he can't withstand a little intimidation.
Xiao Chen stared at Tong Anjin, slowly opened his mouth, and uttered a single word: "Get lost."
"What?" Tong Anjin's face froze, and disbelief gradually appeared on her face.
