Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

Chapter 1428 1423: Complicated Relationships

"Can you call me this at home?" Lin Xi said, feeling somewhat shy. Here, she is the president.Su Chen is her subordinate, and her inner shyness made her hesitant to speak. If they were in her office, a completely private space, she might be able to do it.

"It's okay, no one's here. Just call me once." Su Chen coaxed encouragingly.

"H-Husband?" Lin Xi called softly, almost like a cat's meow.

"Hey, that sounds nice, can you say it again?" Su Chen said with a cheeky grin.

Lin Xi's face was already flushed red. She pinched the soft flesh on Su Chen's waist hard, "Go to hell."

"Ouch, I was kidding, just joking. If you don't want to call, fine. Why are you pinching me?" Su Chen grimaced in mock pain.

"Hmph, you take advantage and still act innocent." Lin Xi said with a small, proud pout.

However, this intimate 'interaction' was clearly witnessed by Tang Qian, who was just around the corner. She had wanted to catch up to tell Lin Xi that the share certification needed verification. Little did she know she would see this scene.

This scene froze her in place. Her previous guess was likely correct; the relationship between Lin Xi and Su Chen is not ordinary. Even if they're not married, they're probably boyfriend and girlfriend!

Tang Qian wisely chose not to disturb them at that moment, but her curiosity about Su Chen grew even stronger. Surely, Su Chen is not as simple as he appears on the surface.

If he were just an ordinary person, how could he face Li Yun so calmly?

Li Yun is a notable business tycoon in Jiangdu, controlling the Li Group, far larger than Yimena.

Even Lin General Manager has to be cautious dealing with someone of that caliber, yet Su Chen seems to disregard him completely.

Tang Qian, unaware of the details, naturally didn't know where Li Yun's fear stemmed from.

In just half an hour, what transpired in another place was beyond their imagination.

…

"Why did the Nishijiu Family invade our Divine Ancient Family without any reason?"

The heavily wounded Family Head of Divine Ancient Family looked in bewilderment at the Nishijiu Family's strongman, who was much stronger than the Divine Ancient Family.

Especially, the Nishijiu Family not only had Onmyoji but also samurai favored by Yagami.

"Without reason? Does the Divine Ancient Family really not know what they've done?" The leading samurai from the Nishijiu Family said coldly.

While wiping the bloody katana, he pointed its blade at the Divine Ancient Family Head's neck: "Is Shengu Ji in Huaxia?"

"Huh?!"

The Family Head of the Divine Ancient Family never imagined that the reason for their immense losses, losing two Saints in a row, was because Shengu Ji offended someone in Huaxia.

"I'll give you three hours. If the matter doesn't satisfy Mr. Kurosagi, I'll level the Divine Ancient Family today!"

The strongman of the Nishijiu Family stationed themselves at the Divine Ancient Family.

What followed was straightforward; the Family Head of Divine Ancient Family berated Shengu Ji in Huaxia, commanding her to resolve the issue quickly or he would show no filial respect.

Shengu Ji, due to her physical condition, never grew up, but it gave her an impressive Martial Arts talent.

She appeared only as a little girl, yet she was over twenty years old.

Even injured, Shengu Ji hurried to relay the family's orders to the Li Family's Sixth Uncle.

Sixth Uncle of the Li Family, a legend.

His rise could be written into a book.

Few know, however, that behind his success lurked the influence of Dongyin people.

Even though Sixth Uncle now holds power in the Li Family and has immense prestige, it cannot erase the fact that Dongyin people helped him in his rise.

It's not just Dongyin people that have leverage over Sixth Uncle, making him unable to move, but they are simply too strong.

Sixth Uncle knew well he isn't their match and couldn't resist.

Leaving aside other matters, just Shengu Ji arriving in Huaxia was beyond Sixth Uncle's abilities.

The Dongyin Family had at least three experts like Shengu Ji in their ranks.

In front of them, the Li Family was like paper, utterly vulnerable.

Upon receiving Shengu Ji's message, Sixth Uncle promptly issued an ultimatum to Li Yun.

If Li Yun could not resolve the problem, then he would have to step in himself.

But if it reached that point, Li Yun's role as the visible leader of the Li Group would lose its original value, no longer needing to exist.

You might think Sixth Uncle is ruthless.

But today, wasn't Li Yun's status achieved without reason?

"Sixth Uncle, the matter has been settled." After leaving Yimena, Li Yun immediately called Sixth Uncle.

After speaking, he silently awaited the elder's reply on the other end of the line.

"Understood."

Although just three simple words, it felt to Li Yun as if a mountain was removed from his shoulders.

"Let's go home." For a moment, Li Lin felt his father aged.

"Dad..."

"There's no need to speak. This time your old dad failed to see Mount Tai; I should have noticed his uniqueness sooner. If he has the confidence to challenge our Li Family, demand me to kneel, it surely wasn't just a bluff. Even his clean identity hints at his unusualness; it was your old dad's oversight."

Li Yun didn't feel much regret; he only blamed himself for lacking skills and failing to see Mount Tai.

Fortunately for now, it's not too late—it hasn't caused great losses.

"Dad, who is that man?"

"I don't know either. But if he can connect with Sixth Uncle's level, he's not someone our father-son duo can provoke. Let's act like this didn't happen."

This time, the Li Yun father and son lost much, dared not fancy Yimena nor retaliate against Su Chen.

Yet Zhang Biao, who meticulously planned to take over Yimena, wouldn't let it go easily...

"Mr. Su, is the matter resolved?"

On Su Chen's way back to the sales department, Nishijiu Sharo's call came as expected.

"Yes, it's resolved. Thanks for your help this time." Su Chen expressed gratitude.

Before heading to the top floor meeting room, Su Chen had called Nishijiu Sharo.

Nishijiu Sharo, the Military Officer at the Huaxia Embassy, wielded significant power and held a high status in the Nishijiu Family.

Su Chen contacted Nishijiu Sharo regarding the issue because of Shengu Ji's presence.
