Everyone was completely taken aback.

In front of Nie Qinghe, Yuk Dalong acted like he was giving orders and instructing the world. But in front of Xu Ke, he was just so obedient...

At this point, Xu Ke said, "President Yuk, you're too polite, but there is one matter I need your help with."

"Please tell me!"

"It's like this. Just now, Nie Qinghe said he used a recording pen to record our breakfast conversation. I want to ask, is this your company's property?"

Yuk Dalong immediately got the hint. "Of course, it's our company's property. I plan to take it back!"

Nie Qinghe's face filled with panic.

The recording pen is my last resort. What can I use to threaten Xu Ke if it's taken away?

Yuk Dalong yelled at Nie Qinghe, "Nie Qinghe, I'm giving you thirty seconds to return the recording pen to me, or I'll see you in court!"

Nie Qinghe was dumbfounded.

Are you sucking up to Xu Ke this obviously? Don't all employees get a week or so to return company property upon their resignation? And you're only giving me thirty seconds?

Nie Qinghe gritted his teeth. "President Yuk, it has my private information on it. I need to make a backup."

Yuk Dalong saw right through his excuse. "Don't worry, I won't listen to a single word. I won't invade your privacy. Return it to me and I will immediately break it."

Nie Qinghe still wanted to resist. "President Yuk, can't you just give me two hours to make a backup?"

Xu Zhenmin, who was beside him, hesitated to speak.

If they really lose the recording pen, they'll have no chance of getting the money!

Seeing them being pressured, Xu Zhenguo remained silent.

If Nie Qinghe hadn't planned on threatening my son, I would have definitely spoken up to help him. But since Nie Qinghe has decided not to be family anymore, I can't possibly give him any more face!

Seeing Nie Qinghe refuse, Yuk Dalong started to count down, "Twenty-five!"

Nie Qinghe clenched his teeth tightly, his fists balled up.

"If you don't hand it over," Yuk Dalong continued, "I will notify every media company in Tianhai that Nie Qinghe has embezzled company property!"

Nie Qinghe's face changed drastically.

Is my future about to be ruined?

He turned his head abruptly to Xu Ke, begging with a tremble in his voice, "Xu Ke, please let me go! I won't offend you again!"

Only Xu Ke can command Yuk Dalong. Even though it's humiliating, I have no choice but to ask Xu Ke for help!

But Xu Ke just smiled. "This is President Yuk's decision. I have no right to interfere."

Nie Qinghe's heart turned cold.

"Fifteen seconds." Yuk Dalong continued to count down resolutely.

Gritting his teeth, Nie Qinghe handed over the recording pen. "President Yuk, here it is. Please don't be so ruthless."

Yuk Dalong snatched it away. "Let's part on good terms. I won't push things too far." Then, he asked Xu Ke, "Mister Xu, how should we deal with this recording pen?"

"Play it back," Xu Ke smiled. "I want to confirm if this is the one that recorded our conversation."

"Yes!" Yuk Dalong nodded.

Nie Qinghe instantly turned ashen. "No, no, I handed over the wrong one!"

I just tried to be sneaky, using a fake recording pen to muddy the waters. Who knew Xu Ke could still be so cautious at a time like this!

A cold light flashed in Yuk Dalong's eyes. "Hand over the real one!"

I can't help but admire him. Xu Ke is just monstrously clever... Anyone else would have gotten carried away in a situation like this, yet he remained so cautious. No wonder I was outmaneuvered by him. Against an enemy like this, how could I not lose?

As for Xu Zhenguo and the others, they were already fuming with anger.

To think Nie Qinghe was still trying to deceive us. That's just too much!

...

After dealing with the real recording pen, Yuk Dalong clapped his hands. "Alright, Mister Xu, I won't disturb your meal any longer. As for you," he gave Nie Qinghe a cold glance, "go back to the company and process your resignation, and return all the equipment issued by the company!"

With that, he prepared to leave.

At that moment, Xu Feng'an suddenly burst out, wailing pitifully, "President Yuk, please don't fire my son!"

Yuk Dalong utterly ignored her and turned to leave.

What mood am I in to deal with a shrew?

Xu Feng'an wanted to chase after him.

Xu Zhentai immediately stood up to block her, scolding furiously, "Do you want to go out there and lose even more face?!"

If Xu Feng'an goes to the lobby and makes a scene with Yuk Dalong, the Xu Family's reputation will be utterly ruined!

"Lose face? My son is about to lose his job!" Xu Feng'an screamed shrilly.

Fearing the noise would disturb those outside, Xu Zhenguo stood up and shut the door. "Fourth Sister, there are some mistakes you just have to bear the consequences for!"

"You… Every single one of you is out to persecute my son!" Xu Feng'an shouted hysterically, her hair a mess.

"Beg his mother! She can make Xu Ke change his mind!" Xu Zhenmin suddenly whispered.

As if grasping at straws, Xu Feng'an rushed to Shen Fen.

"Sister-in-law, you can't do this to Qing He!" Xu Feng'an's lips trembled.

Sympathy showed in Shen Fen's eyes. "Ke..."

"Mom, there's no need to plead for her," Xu Ke said, shaking his head, his expression still cold and hard.

Seeing her pleas were hopeless, Xu Feng'an finally gave up. Venom filled her eyes. "You… you all just wait! You'll all come to a bad end!"

Xu Ke spoke indifferently, "Get out."

Nie Qinghe stepped forward, his face full of resentment. "Mom, let's go! They want us to get out? They'll have to get out of here after they finish breakfast, too. Do they really think they can stay at Felice?"

But before he could finish, everyone present showed a strange expression.

Xu Ke mockingly pulled out two room cards and threw them at Nie Qinghe's feet.

CLATTER.

Xu Ke smiled. "These are room cards for Felice. Your mom's and your third uncle's luggage is still in the rooms. Go fetch it yourselves. Of course, if you want to stay, that's fine. I don't mind."

Nie Qinghe's face burned as if he had just eaten shit.

I just scorned them, only to be immediately slapped in the face!

Xu Zhenmin silently picked up the room cards.

Humiliated, Xu Feng'an said, "Xu Ke, what goes around comes around. You'd better watch your back..."

"Watch my back? My ass! Just get out!" Xu Zhentai couldn't take it anymore and roared.

Xu Feng'an, Nie Qinghe, and Xu Zhenmin could only slink away from the private room in humiliation.

...

In Room 2122 of the Felice Grand Hotel, a deluxe suite with floor-to-ceiling windows, Xu Feng'an opened the door and retrieved their luggage.

Looking at the understated luxury of the decor, she gritted her teeth. "Xu Ke has gone too far. All we asked for were two apartments! He's being far too stingy."

Nie Qinghe punched the wall in shame. "Mom, people like him look down on everyone once they get some money. If it weren't for the Wang Family, would he be rich? Would Yuk Dalong be sucking up to him? The tables will turn. I'll make him pay! Let's go! We'll stay at the place I rented. We won't stay in this damn room he booked for us!"

His heart was bleeding.

If only I had been more cautious, we wouldn't have suffered such a huge loss!

Meanwhile, Xu Feng'an looked at a note left by the hotel. "Wait, let's call the driver to take us there. He just brought us here, and those seats were so comfortable! Besides, Xu Ke's paying!"

Xu Zhenmin came over with his luggage from the next room. "I'll go with you."

Since Xu Ke won't even acknowledge me as his uncle, I have no choice but to stick with them!

Nie Qinghe nodded. "Fine! We'll just toss the room cards in here later and let Xu Ke find them himself!"

Why not take advantage of what Xu Ke offers? It would be a waste not to.

Xu Feng'an dialed the number. "I'm a guest at Felice. Get down here and wait for us!"

The driver, however, politely responded, "I'm sorry, only Mister Xu has the privilege of using the hotel's shuttle service."

With that, the driver hung up.

The three of them stared in disbelief.

Is this driver seriously looking down on us too?

At the same time, a waiter approached from the hallway. "Please leave the premises promptly and return the room cards to Mister Xu. Otherwise, our hotel will reserve the right to take legal action."

The expressions on their faces were as foul as if they had just eaten shit.

Did Xu Ke actually send someone to kick us out? Hasn't he gone too far?!
