From Sidekick to Bigshot

Situ Zhong and Zhang Xin were stunned to hear this.

What was… Going on?

Why did these big shots know Jian Yiling?

Was it because she was the Dean of Lahaisen Hospital?

Was Lahaisen Hospital that famous?

"Say hello to your grandma for me," the old man said to Jian Yiling.

"Will do," Jian Yiling replied meekly.

Then, the old man turned around and said: "We will clear out these bugs for you. Consider it as a housewarming gift for your arrival at the Xie family manor."

"Thank you."

Upon hearing this, Situ Zhong and Zhang Xin became completely dumbfounded.

What was happening?

Situ Zhong hurriedly asked the old man: "What is this all about? The Xie family and I are both part of the Nine Dragons Association. Even if you're friends with the Dean of Lahaisen Hospital, that doesn't mean you should kick us out of the manor that belongs to us right?"

In his subconsciousness, Situ Zhong had already claimed the Xie family manor as theirs.

After all, there was no one left to inherit the Xie family manor other than the members of their Nine Dragons Association.

"Your manor? Since when did the Xie family manor become yours?" the old man repeated. Although the expression on his face was still benevolent, the look in his eyes was biting and he gave off a powerful sense of oppression.

"No no… We're the sworn brothers of the Xie family…" Situ Zhong attempted to defend himself.

"Right," Zhang Xin echoed. "As the Xie family has no descendants, we're merely helping the Xie family by taking care of their manor. There isn't a problem with that right?"

"And who exactly told you that the Xie family has no descendants?" The old man asked calmly. His words had a hint of mockery and contempt.

"The Xie family has descendants?" Situ Zhong questioned. His voice was doubtful as he continued: "That's impossible… If the Xie family has descendants, then why haven't they shown up in so many years? So many businesses and companies of the Xie family have been…"

Swallowed by the rest of the Nine Dragons Association…

If anyone from the Xie family was still alive in this world, there was no way they would let such a thing happen.

This was why Situ Zhong and the rest of the Nine Dragons Association assumed everyone in the Xie family was dead.

"It seems like you guys are used to being thieves."

As the Xie family manor was located in Country M and there was not a lot of profit to be made, this was probably why the manor still belonged to the Xie family.

After all, the businesses and companies which originally belonged to the Xie family were all divided amongst the remaining families.

The old man's words made the expression on Situ Zhong and Zhang Xin's faces become incredibly ugly. However, they didn't know what to say.

Suddenly, Zhang Xin recalled something. He looked at Jian Yiling with a shocked gaze as he exclaimed: "Is Jian Yiling…"

Just now, the old man specifically asked Jian Yiling to say hello to her grandma…

"But even if Jian Yiling's grandma has the surname Xie… Wasn't that just meant to be a scholarly family? How could she be…"

The old man interrupted Zhang Xin's words and told them bluntly: "We only came here after learning that the Xie family manor was going through a transfer of ownership procedures."

Now, this manor legally belonged to Jian Yililng.

As Zhang Xin and Situ Zhong did not have Jian Yiling's permission to be there, they were trespassing on private property.

Zhai Yunsheng sneered and said: "Just because the manor has been abandoned for many years, it doesn't mean no one owns it anymore. You should be aware of the laws here before you decide to trespass on someone else's property."
