“Okay… So the situation is like this… In Songshan City, there is a sudden increase of missing peoples cases, with the majority of them being gangsters or taxi drivers.

Most of them have committed misdemeanors right before they went missing…” Song Lingshan continued to explain her situation, “Lin Yi, can you help me gather some intel on this”

“And where exactly would I go to inquire this intel” Lin Yi frowned, “Arent you becoming too reliant on me”

“No…” Song Lingshan felt embarrassed when confronted like this.

Undoubtedly there was some reliance that she had towards him.

She felt that he was capable of anything.

As long as she begged for it, then he would do it for her.

“Okay, fine.

Is there anything more” Lin Yi coldly asked.

“No… Nothing more…” Song Lingshan feels that she has to swallow her pride whenever she interacted with Lin Yi.

Lin Yi didnt say anything else and just hung up.

Song Lingshan still had things she wanted to speak about, such as how he was feeling after he had helped raise her power level.

But, from the sounds of Lin Yis attitude, she was able to determine that he was back to his rude old self.

Once she told the situation to Lin Yi, Song Lingshan still didnt feel satisfied.

All her previous cases that she had solved had specific facts and details.

However, these new cases were quite confusing.

To top it off, Lin Yi doesnt seem to have any intention of helping, which added to her disappointment.

***

House Xiao these days were sulking over their former glory.

Without Uncle Pi backing them up, they were on borrowed time with their funds drying up.

They were alienated to the point that even distant relative House Kang was avoided them, this was a critical break in relations!

Xiao Ji sat in the living room of his villa, as he sighed and contemplated about their family situation.

Xiao Ben was also unable to help alleviate the problems in regards to their situation.

Almost everything went from bad to worse condition.

Now they even owed Lin Yi a lump sum of money.

It was just that Lin Yi didnt come knocking down the door to collect yet, but House Xiao still didnt have the means to gather the funds!

“Brother, House Xiaos vast foundation, seems like it will come to ruins in our hands.

I am unwilling to submit to this!” Xiao Ji had red eyes as he started tearing up.

He hasnt slept soundly for a few days now, “It is all that bitch Gou Hulis fault.

She had us provoke someone we shouldnt have.

Then, she ran over Uncle Pi with her car.

I want her dead now!”

With that said, Xiao Ji was infuriated and was going to take Gou Hulis life.

“Big Brother! Calm down!” Xiao Ben saw that his brother had the eyes of a crazy person.

He had to stop his big brother from committing a crime, “Big Brother, what do you think you are doing You should know better than fight internally.

House Xiao is on the verge of falling apart.

What use will it do to seek revenge on sister-in-law Would it help us in anyway”

Xiao Ben was more intelligent than his brother.

So when his father, the House leader, was still alive, he did his best to pull support from relatives.

However, when his father had passed away, he realized that all this internal fighting only expedited the collapse of House Xiao!

Even if his Big Brother, Xiao Ji, wasnt as bright, so most of the strategic planning and tactics came from him.

The way he saw it, that was no difference from being the House Leader, so there was no significant purpose to continue fighting for that role.

“My Brother, I want to be calm, but how can I get calm We are about to watch the Noble Houses call for a meeting.

I suspect that our House Xiao will get expelled from the ranks of the Noble Houses during this meeting.

Then House Xiao wont be a Noble House anymore…” Xiao Ji said with a depressed look, as he sat down.

“Big Brother, with our current situation like this already.

Even if you kill Gou Huli, how will that help” Xiao Ben waved his hand aside, “Im afraid we will have to rely on House Wu.

I dont know if those two bastards, Xiao Wangdao and Xiao Wangba, are reliable.

It is questionable if their relationship with Wu Chentian is even stable.

From the rumors Ive heard, Wu Chentian and House Kangs Kang Zhaolong were on good speaking terms.

Im afraid of them provoking the situation!”

“Then what should we do now” Xiao Ji was at a loss for ideas.

“No matter what, we have to continue living our lives! Tomorrow, Ill check out the situation.

It is not possible for us to open a small restaurant to maintain our standard of living.

We will have to wait for another opportunity for that!” Xiao Ben felt as if he was truly the House Leader, but he didnt have the joy that normally came with being a leader.

He felt sick about his situation.

In the middle of their conversation, the doorbell on their villa rang.

“Who could it be, visiting at this time” Xiao Ji looked blankly.

With the current situation with House Xiao, there shouldnt be anyone coming to pay a visit.

Xiao Wangdao and Xiao Wangba had our house keys, so they couldnt be the ones ringing the doorbell.

“Could it be that Lin Yi has come to collect” Xiao Ben frightened as he made his way to the door.

If Lin Yi came, they can only meet him head on.

However, standing by the doorway was a strangers face.

It was someone theyve never met before!

“You are…” Xiao Ben asked the strangers identity.

“This is House Xiao” The young man casually and slowly asked.

“Yes, but who are you” Xiao Ben questioned the young mans attitude.

There is a saying that even a tiger can be bullied.

With the current situation of House Xiao, they didnt dare to stir up trouble with anyone.

Xiao Ben had maintained a calm, and restraint demeanor as he asked the question.

“Brother Pi” the young man asked after confirming that this was House Xiao.

“Brother Pi” Xiao Ben wasnt able to come to his senses quick enough.

Then he realizes “You are looking for Uncle Pi”

“Yes, where is he I heard that he was beaten into a vegetative state” The young man had an angry look! Uncle Pi was expelled out of House Pi, but he was still a blood relative of the hidden household House Pi.

To be beaten to a vegetative state, House Pi couldnt turn their head away from this insult!

This decision didnt come from the young man, it was decided at a committee meeting with House Pis family members.

In the end, the elder grandpa as his position of House Leader solididied the decision.

The young mans name was Pi Zhishan, he was the oldest grandson.

As for the silent person next to him, it was his cousin, Pi Zhihai, and was the second uncles son.

Their reason for visiting was mainly to see the world and society, with Pi Zhishan in charge.

Pi Zhishan and Uncle Pi had never met before.

Uncle Pi had committed a severe crime in the family when he was a young man.

People from House Pi are known to be prideful, so this young man couldnt turn away from this injustice.

The purpose of their visit was to bring Uncle Pi back and execute their second mission!

“You… you are relatives of Uncle Pi” Xiao Bens face lit up.

In his heart, he saw the opportunity in this.

Perhaps, there might be a chance to save House Xiao afterall!
