Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 497: Chapter 497: The Smile Gradually Collapses (5th Update)

Just then, the office door was kicked open, and An Qing burst in excitedly.

“Auntie!” The two little girls exclaimed in surprise upon seeing An Qing.

An Qing scooped up the two little girls, planting a kiss on each one before asking with a beaming smile.

“Have you two missed your aunt?”

“Yeah, we have!” The two little girls chorused in unison.

An Qing set the girls down and opened her bag, which was packed full of snacks.

The two little girls cheered and dashed towards it.

“This is yours, and this is mine! This is mine, and this is yours…” Xiang Xiang started dividing the snacks very seriously.

Nian Nian stared with wide eyes, her face a mask of seriousness as she watched.

An Qing couldn’t help but shake her head and chuckle at the scene.

“You, always buying them so much junk food, you’ll spoil them rotten one of these days!” An Yan said helplessly.

An Qing chuckled, “Let them be spoiled then! Shouldn’t my nieces, An Qing’s nieces, be spoiled a little more? Eh…”

An Qing gave a slight exclamation, “Sis, why is your face so red?”

An Yan had a thin skin, and the blush that had risen just now had not yet faded away.

“Er… it’s very hot in here! Didn’t you notice?” An Yan quickly made an excuse.

“Hot? I didn’t feel it,” An Qing said suspiciously, turning her head to look at Xue An.

Ever since she inherited the Insect Tribe’s gifted abilities, her vision could be considered a walking human telescope.

Therefore, she immediately noticed that alarming shade of red at the corner of Xue An’s mouth.

This red… It seemed to match her sister’s lip color.

An Qing had an epiphany, and her smile gradually grew mischievous.

“I see, it seems I came at an inconvenient time.”

“You naughty girl, what nonsense are you spouting? Be careful or I’ll tear up your mouth!”

An Yan was caught between laughter and tears, moving forward to pinch An Qing’s cheek, then dragged her forcefully into the inner room.

Xue An also felt somewhat embarrassed.

After all, that was his little aunt-in-law.

So he quickly activated his cultivation level to thoroughly inspect himself from top to bottom, to avoid any further slip-ups.

At that moment, Chen Xiuhe walked in with a cheerful laugh.

“Mr. Xue! I heard you were back in Zhongdu, so I hurried over!”

Xue An smiled slightly and rose from his seat, “Uncle Chen, please have a seat!”

This address momentarily surprised Chen Xiuhe, but his smile grew even brighter.

Back when Xue An and An Yan got married, Xue An had invited Chen Xiuhe to attend in the capacity of a relative from An Yan’s maternal family, and since then, he had taken to calling him Uncle Chen.

What Chen Xiuhe hadn’t expected was that, after more than a year, Xue An still remembered this title.

“Mr. Xue is too courteous. When I arrived just now, Gao Shengnan, the Divine Doctor’s daughter, already briefed me on what has happened since you’ve been back. Truly, sir, you are a talent for the ages. With phrases like ‘hearts courageous as tigers, softly sniffing the roses,’ if you were in business, you would likely be a magnate rich enough to rival any!” Chen Xiuhe exclaimed.

His words were sincere and from the heart.

When he heard Gao Shengnan talk about these matters, he felt shivers down his spine.

Unlike Gao Shengnan’s reverence.

Chen Xiuhe could see much further than others.

It’s undeniable that Tianyuan Company had developed extremely rapidly over the past two years.

But this also left the company with many hidden problems.

The most serious among them was the youth and impetuosity of a few board members.

Passion isn’t a bad thing, but if one still acts impulsively from a high position, it can lead to major chaos.

This Tian Bojun is a bloody example.

He stirred up the foundation of Tianyuan Company, turning everything upside down, but Qiao Le and the others knew nothing.

It shows that they have been completely deceived by Tian Bojun.

Given time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

A corporation is like a country; if the boss cannot accurately understand the situation at the grassroots level, trouble isn’t far off.

Chen Xiuhe was actually aware of all these issues.

However, due to the special relationship between Qiao Le and the others and Xue An, he didn’t feel it was his place to interfere too much and could only let things be.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xue An returned, he eradicated the festering tumor leeching off Tianyuan Company with a thunderous approach.

This earned Chen Xiuhe’s considerable admiration.

But what shocked him the most was Xue An’s statement.

Showing kindness to the wicked is being cruel to the good, and ‘within the heart hides a fierce tiger, yet it gently sniffs the rose.’

Each point was dazzling.

Upon hearing this, Xue An merely smiled, “Forget about business, I’m afraid I might impulsively annihilate the competition.”

Chen Xiuhe laughed heartily at this remark. After his laughter subsided, he lowered his voice and said,

“Mr. Xue, yesterday Zhongdu suddenly pulled back many of M Country’s intelligence agents.”

Xue An nodded slightly, “I had already warned them over the phone through Tian Bojun yesterday, they probably understand the consequences of angering me.”

Chen Xiuhe nodded solemnly, feeling awed within. Such was the influence of a person of honor in the current age.

Just a single sentence could make the intelligence agency of a great nation collectively retreat.

Meanwhile, in Beijiang.

At the foot of the mountain where Number One Tian Villa was located, two habitual thieves arrived.

The two peeked out from the woods, looking up at the villa on the mountain peak.

“Little brother, are you sure no one’s here?”

“Boss, don’t worry, my cousin used to work as a janitor here. He’s mentioned more than once that the place is inhabited by just a young, pretty girl and a dog, and at this time, that girl should already be at work, so there’s no one inside.”

“Would someone living here still need to go to work?” the boss asked, frowning.

The little brother chuckled, “Why bother with all that? Getting the money is what matters. Are you scared or something?”

“Scared of nothing, I’m just worried there might be someone inside.”

“It’s just a little girl. If she really is inside, then that’s a bonus for us,” the little brother laughed lecherously.

The two had been eyeing this often-empty villa for several days now.

Although the security at Yunmeng Villa was extremely tight, this couldn’t stop the two thieves seasoned in tomb raiding.

The pair had dug a tunnel from the outside, all the way here.

They sneaked up the mountain, and effortlessly reached the front door of Number One Tian Villa.

The door was surprisingly open.

The two exchanged glances, their faces filled with excitement.

Then they carefully walked inside.

“Wow, the life of the rich is really different, this décor, damn, it’s beautiful!” exclaimed the boss among the thieves.

The little brother took a deep breath, his face filled with delight as he said, “This faint scent is so nice. It shows the girl living here must be extremely pretty!”

“Enough of that, don’t you have anything else in your head? Let’s quickly find something valuable.”

As the boss spoke, he turned around and took a step forward, then let out a scream. It seemed as if he was dragged away by something and disappeared from the spot.
