"On my turf!"

"You have no right to run wild!"

The old man in silver armor, burning with intense anger, hurled his fist at Su Xuan.

"Boss, get out of the way!"

Lying on the ground, Xiao Liang watched anxiously. He knew just how powerful the old man's punches were. One punch had knocked him down, leaving him unable to rise. He had never encountered such a domineering fist before.

But Su Xuan simply looked at the old man calmly, not moving an inch.

BANG!

The next second, the old man's punch landed squarely on Su Xuan. However, Su Xuan didn't budge, and his expression didn't change, as if the old man were just playing around with him.

"Eh?"

The old man was stunned. He raised his fist to strike again, but Su Xuan remained completely unharmed.

"Stop playing around."

Su Xuan had no patience to play games. He slapped the old man across the face, sending him tumbling through the air before crashing to the ground.

Secretary Bai hurriedly ran over and crouched beside him.

Clutching his face, the old man asked Su Xuan, completely bewildered, "What's with you?"

Xiao Liang and the others also stared at Su Xuan, puzzled. They couldn't understand how he had withstood the old man's punches.

"Take off his armor!"

Su Xuan couldn't be bothered to explain and simply waved his hand.

Xiao Liang quickly got up. Enduring the pain, he and two companions stripped the armor off the old man.

Just then, Chen Yuesheng rushed in with dozens of men. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Su Xuan was unharmed.

When the old man saw Su Xuan's reinforcements arrive, his expression sank into utter despair. I underestimated him! he thought.

"Old Qin, you still have plenty of money, right?" Su Xuan asked with a wide grin, addressing the old man who was lying on the ground and refusing to get up. "I think you should hire more people from Shenfeng Security to protect yourself. You've seen it yourself—your bodyguards are no match for our men."

"Not much!" the old man said sulkily.

How could I not understand his meaning? He wants to take control of my villa, and me along with it! To put it plainly, he's imprisoning me in my own home. And he wants me to pay for it with my own money!

"I have money," the old man's daughter, Qin Yueshu, suddenly spoke up. She took out a bank card and handed it to Su Xuan. "I have nearly a hundred million here. It's all yours. I only have one request: please ensure my father gets to the hospital for his treatments on time. Otherwise, he won't last long."

"No problem." Before Su Xuan could respond, Chen Yuesheng chuckled and took the bank card. "With this much money," he said, "I'll assign fifty men to protect your family. I guarantee not even a fly will get in."

Chen Yuesheng then grinned and whispered to Su Xuan, "Brother Su, our company is about to order a batch of smart security equipment. As for this money..." He chuckled knowingly.

Su Xuan, who was worth nearly seven hundred billion, wasn't concerned. He even asked Chen Yuesheng, "Is a hundred million enough? If not, I can give you more."

"It's enough," Chen Yuesheng laughed. "With this hundred million, I can earn us back at least three to four hundred million. As a partner in Shenfeng, you'll get half!"

The two of them began discussing business right then and there, as if nothing had happened. After they finished, Su Xuan's gaze suddenly turned toward Secretary Bai.

Secretary Bai couldn't help but shiver. She was the one who had "invited" Su Xuan here, and she feared he was about to settle the score.

But what happened next was the last thing she expected. Su Xuan simply said, "Remember to leave a positive review for that DiDi ride."

"Oh, oh!"

Secretary Bai nodded hurriedly, giving a positive review on the spot in front of Su Xuan.

That's it? It's over?

But she had no idea that as soon as she submitted the positive review, something wonderful happened for Su Xuan!

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for completing a super order!"

"Ding! Rewarding the Host with all equity of the Hongxiang Wine Industry Group!"

"Ding! Stage Two Task Progress: 9/10."

At the same time, a vast amount of information about the Hongxiang Wine Industry flooded into Su Xuan's mind.

Hongxiang Wine Industry was a time-honored Chinese brand. Its brewing techniques could be traced back eight hundred years to the Yuan Dynasty and were perfected in the nineteenth year of Emperor Kangxi's reign during the Qing Dynasty.

At the time, the winery's scale was so vast it was said that its "furnace fires burned like houses, and its smoke billowed so high it could be seen from miles away."

The wine produced by Hongxiang Wine Industry was not only beloved locally but was also exported overseas. It gained recognition from people all over the world and had won numerous international awards.

Its market value had been steadily growing and was currently valued at 40 billion!

Su Xuan chuckled, rubbing his chin. I knew I'd get a huge reward from this. And just as he'd expected, the system's reward had arrived.

Moreover, the system didn't reward him with something like a funeral parlor this time.

And his net worth had also immediately reached seven hundred billion!

What did this mean? It meant he was finally going to see *that* person.

"Are you okay? Are you waiting for me?"

After making all the necessary arrangements, Su Xuan murmured to himself as he left Qin Hezheng's villa, his gaze fixed on a particular direction.

As he left, he didn't forget one last thing: to help himself to both suits of silver armor from the house.

Next, he went straight to Kangnai to check on Long Xiwen and meet with Zhong Huilan.

He gave both suits of armor to Zhong Huilan and reminded her not to turn them in if she could avoid it. "Keep them for our agents to use on missions," he said. "They're incredibly effective. You should give one to Long Xiwen; she's too fragile."

"Su Xuan, wouldn't this be inconvenient to wear on a mission?" Zhong Huilan asked, unaware of the silver armor's true value. "How could this be more useful than a bulletproof vest?"

"Just have Long Xiwen try it on tomorrow, and you'll see," Su Xuan said, leaving them in suspense as he departed from Kangnai.

Before leaving Kangnai, however, he gave Dean Ma a heads-up. He asked him to extend some courtesies if a man named Qin Hezheng came to Kangnai for treatment.

This wasn't out of pity for taking Qin Hezheng's things; he was simply doing it for his daughter's sake.

"Time to see what magical properties this Taoist robe has!"

Eagerly, Su Xuan returned home, took out the Taoist robe, and put it on.

He studied it until nightfall and discovered one of its magical properties.

It was fireproof. No matter how he tried to burn it, the robe remained completely unharmed.

But beyond that, there seemed to be no other special properties.

That can't be all, can it? Su Xuan thought, dissatisfied. The silver armor was so incredible; surely the Taoist robe had more to offer. He continued his experiments, even dripping his own blood onto the robe in the hopes of strengthening his connection to it...

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK!

More than half an hour later, someone knocked on the door.

Just as he was about to go and open it, something bizarre happened.

The doorknob turned on its own, and the door swung open.

"Master, there's something—" Old Steward Liu began, standing at the door. He stopped short when he saw Su Xuan wearing the Taoist robe and asked in confusion, "Master, why are you wearing that?"

"Hold on. Go outside and knock again," Su Xuan instructed Old Steward Liu, looking down at his own hands.

"Oh."

Old Steward Liu, looking puzzled, closed the door and knocked again.

Inside the room, Su Xuan stared at the doorknob.

Once again, it turned on its own...
