Xiao Xiong turned around abruptly and looked at Xu Lao with surprised eyes. The three words Zhongyitang, in Haicheng, are almost like "legends".

There are countless legends about Zhongyitang, many people think that the boss of Zhongyitang died in the encirclement and suppression of the police many years ago, but this is not the case, after the "bloody massacre" seven years ago, Zhongyitang began to turn from light to dark, and only a few people know the internal organizational structure of Zhongyitang.

And Xu Zhengrong, who was standing in front of Xiao Xiong, was at the helm of this legendary giant ship.

"Old Xu, what do you mean......" Xiao Xiong comprehended, with infinite horror in his eyes, he only shuddered, the Xu Lao he knew turned out to be an out-and-out extreme boss who controlled Zhongyi Hall.

"Yes, that's what you think. Xu Lao nodded with a faint smile, and a sad aura flashed in his eyes.

"Come with me. ”

In the long and narrow alley, Xiao Xiong and Xu Lao walked side by side, their pace slowed down again and again, and the situation heard from Xu Lao's mouth was very different from the rumors on the road.

"Seven years ago, the vitality of Zhongyitang was greatly damaged, and in order to prevent Zhongyitang from being completely destroyed, I could only choose Taoguang Yanghui. Xu Lao said indifferently, in today's view, the countless bloody storms of the year have become hatred that can be forgotten with a flick of his fingers.

The world is impermanent, and Zhongyitang, a controversial existence, has been fighting with many forces for many years, and while it continues to grow, it also has to face the suppression of so-called decent forces, which can be described as surviving in the cracks.

"The eight hall masters you met today, they are all trustworthy people, and no one will disagree with you, and all your worries can be dispelled. Xu Lao seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and with one word, Xiao Xiong was directly stunned in the narrow alley.

"Even if one day I am gone, you must maintain the Loyal Hall, which is your mission now. Xu Lao spoke earnestly, lit a cigarette and put it between his fingers, his eyes were more unpredictable than the faint light of the cigarette butt.

"I understand. ”

Suddenly, he felt a sense of mission that he had never felt before, and the responsibility on his shoulders was heavier than Mount Tai, Xiao Xiong nodded and took the cigarette that Xu Lao handed to him.

"In the future, leave it to you young people to do, if possible, try to whitewash Zhongyitang, now this world is different from what our generation is facing, I believe you can do it well. ”

Such an entrustment comes from the bottom of his heart, all because of his trust in Xiao Xiong.

The complex emotions in his heart were surging, and Old Xu's words were kept in mind, and Xiao Xiong silently accompanied Old Xu forward.

In the past three or four years, Xu Lao has been trying his best to make Zhongyitang transform, and on the premise of retaining the necessary black power, he has begun to get involved in all walks of life, and now it has achieved initial results, and the business foundation controlled by Zhongyitang has penetrated into many industries in Haicheng, and the value of this wealth is immeasurable.

"You are now the master of the eight of them, you know what to do, once the relationship is not handled well, the hearts of the people are scattered, and the Zhongyi Hall is finished. Before getting into the car, Xu Lao turned around and looked at Xiao Xiongdao with meaningful eyes.

"Old Xu, I won't let you down!"

After Xu Lao returned home, the driver was ordered to send Xiao Xiong to the hospital.

At night, the lights were dim, and the hospital was as cold as ever, Xiao Xiong went to his office, suddenly thought of Nighthawk, and then walked to the inpatient building where Nighthawk was.

In a separate ward, there are several hanging bottles hanging in front of Nighthawk's bed, from Xiao Xiong to the present, almost a month has passed, Nighthawk's body has recovered well, not only can speak normally, but also can walk on the ground.

Nighthawk's recovery progress, Xiao Xiong saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart.

Seeing Xiao Xiong suddenly enter the house, a trace of surprise crossed Nighthawk's eyes, and he squeezed out a smile and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Mr. Xu asked me to take over. Before he sat down, Xiao Xiong's expression was calm, and he spoke slowly, and the emotions in his heart were still a little apprehensive.

"I know, my brother came to the hospital in the afternoon and told me about Mr. Xu's decision. Nighthawk replied in a faint tone.

The emotion on Xiao Xiong's face suddenly became a little more uneasy and gloomy, and Nighthawk said in an emotional tone: "To be honest, I am happy for you, and I am happy for Elder Xu." ”

I thought that Nighthawk would have a grudge against himself because of this incident, but I didn't expect that he was too worried, Xiao Xiong shook his head and smiled bitterly, without words.

It stands to reason that Xu Lao should let Nighthawk take over, after all, Nighthawk has followed Xu Lao from birth to death for many years, and he should take over, but now it is himself, an outsider, who has taken over, so he feels unfair to Nighthawk.

Got up and walked to the window, overlooking the bustling night scene of Haicheng, Xiao Xiong said coldly: "When you are cured, I will hand over the power to you, and you will control the power of Xu Lao." ”

"What?!" Nighthawk's face was slightly stunned, "this won't work!"

After being silent for a short while, Xiao Xiong looked at Nighthawk with doubtful eyes, "I just don't understand a little, Xu Lao said that he was going out for a walk and might not come back......"

Nighthawk's face was surprised, and Xiao Xiong continued: "By the way, do you know Sun Zhen? An old monster, he knows Xu Lao. ”

Hearing the name Sun Zhen for a moment, Nighthawk's face froze, his mouth was open and he couldn't make a sound, his pupils widened, and there was a moment of horror in his eyes.

He ...... He's back?"

"You know him?!"

"Twelve years ago, it was he who injured Xu Lao, and between him and Xu Lao, there was a dead knot that could not be untied. Nighthawk looked surprisingly lonely for a moment, and his eyes were empty and weak.

Half-understood Nighthawk's explanation, Xiao Xiong had more questions in his heart, but he couldn't open his mouth.

What kind of ulterior festival existed between Sun Zhen and Xu Lao? Perhaps no one could know the answer except Xu Lao and Sun Zhen.

……

After another night of tossing and turning, he received the power of Xu Lao, and in a blink of an eye, he became a big man who could call for wind and rain in Haicheng and cover the sky with one hand, he should be happy, but Xiao Xiong was sad.

Approaching noon, the rainy weather made the mood depressed, Feng Ruonan felt pain in his heart, inexplicably worried, for fear that the tribulus terrestris he had suffered from before would recur again, and then called Xiao Xiong to tell him about the situation.

"You're waiting in your company, I'm going to look for you!"

Xiao Xiong hung up the phone and rushed to Feng Ruonan's company anxiously, feeling a little puzzled, why is this Nizi's body so fragile, and there are special situations at every turn.

Sitting in the spacious president's office, Feng Ruonan, who was stuffy, put down the documents in his hand, pressed his fingers tightly against Liu Yemei, and his heart was irritable.

In the corridor outside the door, the female assistant tried her best to stop the hot-tempered woman, and said with a sad face: "Miss, you can't go in, we are very busy!

"Get out of the way!" Zhuang Wuruo's angry look, his fierce eyes glared at the female assistant, and he went straight into Feng Ruonan's office.

The Feng family and the Zhuang family were originally world friends, and the two families also had business dealings, but Feng Ruonan and Zhuang Wuruo were strangers, although they had known each other's existence for a long time and had met each other, but they did not have any private contacts.

"Feng Ruonan!" Zhuang Wuruo, who rushed into the office, roared, his face burned with anger, and his face flushed with anger.

Looking at the uninvited guest of "Zhuang Wuruo" with surprised eyes, Feng Ruonan was full of confusion, "Zhuang Wuruo, what are you doing here?"

There were more doubts in his heart, and before Feng Ruonan got up, Zhuang Wuruo walked to the table, glared at Feng Ruonan in a questioning tone, and said, "Are you embarrassed to ask me?!"

"What are you talking about?" Feng Ruonan looked at Zhuang Wuruo, who was dancing like thunder, and said secretly in his heart, "Are you crazy?"

"Hehe," Zhuang Wuruo snorted coldly, his rival in love was extremely red when he met, full of hostile expressions, Zhuang Wuruo said angrily, "Didn't your marriage contract with Xiao Xiong be canceled a long time ago?

Zhuang Wuruo's words were so loud that Feng Ruonan was in a fog, and he couldn't cry or laugh.

Countless questions burst out of my mind, Xiao Xiong of your family? I'm pestering him? What is it, Zhuang Wuruo is crazy, right?

Feng Ruonan naturally didn't know about Zhuang Wuruo's recent contact with Xiao Xiong, if she knew, she wouldn't have shown such a confused look.

"I don't understand what you're saying, please leave immediately, I still have something to deal with. Feng Ruonan said in an indifferent tone, and turned to look at the assistant, "Xiao Wu, send Miss Zhuang out." ”

Euphemistically gave an eviction order, but Feng Ruonan's polite concession completely angered Zhuang Wuruo. The reason why she came to Feng Ruonan's company was because she heard some rumors, rumors such as Xiao Xiong and the daughter of the Feng family getting back together, and even the absurd and outrageous rumors of "the two families renegotiated the marriage date".

directly defined Feng Ruonan as his rival in love, and Zhuang Wuruo would lose control of his emotions at this time.

Angry and stamped his feet, Zhuang Wuruo almost slapped Feng Ruonan, and said hatefully: "You listen to me, Xiao Xiong is mine, no one wants to rob it! Besides, are you worthy of him? Who canceled the marriage contract in the first place?"

Zhuang Wuruo's cynicism made Feng Ruonan's eyes a little more angry, but her cold and arrogant personality forcibly suppressed her anger, "I don't want to scold, Xiao Xiong and I are just ordinary friends, you can go to him and ask him about anything yourself." ”

"No need to ask. ”

Xiao Xiong, who came to help Feng Ruonan see a doctor with a medicine box, was stunned in front of the office door for a minute, and heard the quarrel between Feng Ruonan and Zhuang Wuruo, and the two women were jealous of themselves, which made him a little confused.

With a little embarrassment in his eyes and a little more anger in his expression, Xiao Xiong walked up to Zhuang Wuruo and said angrily: "You are simply unreasonable!"

"I ......" Zhuang Wu couldn't get angry if he wanted to, the moment he saw Xiao Xiong's handsome face, the tenderness in his heart was irresistible, and he said softly, "Why are you here?"

"Aren't you fooling around? If I don't come again, I think you're going to tear down her company!" Xiao Xiong sneered with an indignant expression.
