While out picking up trash, I was forcefully pushed around by a beautiful female CEO.

Meanwhile, inside the Su family villa.

Su Tianyang was leaning against the poolside, with two scantily clad women behind him massaging his shoulders and back.

Having swum for half an hour, Su Tianyang was slightly out of breath. Despite being over forty years old, he didn't have the greasy look that a middle-aged man should have.

"Uncle, in three months, the position of Deputy Chief of the Municipal Administration of Minghai City will become vacant! You are currently the Deputy Director of the Municipal Administration; if you could become the Deputy Chief of the Municipal Administration, you would definitely be the number two person in Minghai City!"

Behind him, a young man in his early thirties bowed slightly and skillfully brewed tea at a solid wood tea table.

"Number Two? Heh, Yin Zhou, I'm not aiming to be some kind of number two!"

Su Tianyang's small, narrow eyes were half-closed, and a cold smile played on his lips.

"In just two years, Uncle, you have transformed the Su family from an underground business to a legitimate one, not only completely turning your business around but also becoming the deputy director of the government in Minghai City. Even if you look through the Su family's genealogy, no one can compare to you."

Su Yinzhou carefully handed the brewed tea to Su Tianyang, and said with a light smile.

"Hehe, from now on, the Su family will only rise higher and higher!"

Su Tianyang was extremely pleased with his nephew's flattery and spoke with great confidence.

"That's for sure, but the Qin family has been operating in Minghai City for many years, so they're probably not so easy to deal with."

Su Yinzhou nodded and spoke again.

"The Qin family..."

Su Tianyang paused, holding his teacup, and pondered for a moment before taking a sip. He said coldly, "Once I become the number two person in Minghai City, the Qin family will be doomed. It will just take a few more steps."

"That's for sure. Uncle has the support of big shots in Kyoto. Not to mention Minghai City, Uncle will definitely have a place in Kyoto's social circles in the future."

Su Yinzhou's eyes flickered as he smiled and flattered him. He was actually very curious about how Su Tianyang had managed to gain the support of that important figure in Kyoto.

Unfortunately, even his nephew, Su Tianyang, never told him these things.

"Haha, Yinzhou, you're so sensible! Your brother is half as worry-free as you, I can even wake up laughing in my sleep."

Su Tianyang was delighted by the compliment. This nephew had come to stay with him from his hometown. He was quite clever, so he kept him by his side.

With his nephew as a comparison, Su Tianyang inevitably became critical of his son, Su Mingxuan.

After being criticized so many times, Su Mingxuan harbored a great deal of resentment towards his cousin, Su Yinzhou.

"Mingxuan is still young. In a few years, he'll definitely learn to behave better!"

Su Yinzhou smiled, but a flash of hatred crossed his eyes.

Su Mingxuan had never taken his cousin from the countryside seriously, and had told him to get out of the Su family more than once in front of Su Tianyang.

But Su Yinzhou couldn't say anything. His so-called cousin wasn't actually a blood relative. His father, who died young, shared the same great-grandfather as Su Tianyang, so the family line continued to him and Su Mingxuan's generation. There was basically no kinship between them.

He was able to stay because he was good at talking and quick-witted, plus the prestige of the Su family clan.

Su Yinzhou knew very well how difficult it was for ordinary people to turn their lives around. In his mind, being a lackey for a powerful person was the fastest shortcut to success.

Moreover, strictly speaking, he wasn't exactly Su Tianyang's dog; he at least had the title of a cousin!

"I hope so. The Su family is different now. We should avoid using those dirty tricks we used to employ, but this little brat won't listen. Hmph, he'll die from a woman sooner or later!"

Hearing Su Yinzhou's words of comfort, Su Tianyang snorted softly, his words tinged with dissatisfaction.

Just then, the commotion outside reached them. Around the Su family villa, no one dared to make such a fuss.

Su Tianyang raised his head, frowned, and glanced in the direction of the villa's main gate.

"Uncle, I'll go take a look."

Su Yinzhou looked at Su Tianyang questioningly, and after receiving a nod from Su Tianyang, he immediately got up and walked outside.

At this moment, outside the gate of the Su family villa.

The three remaining security guards, who had been arrogant, now looked at Qin Xiao and the armed police officers with real guns in front of them with fear.

But even greater horror came from the two corpses that were thrown on the ground.

Chen Zongwen and the others might not recognize him, but young master Su Mingxuan and the others certainly would.

"You...you dare to kill our young master?"

One of the security guards' voices trembled; he simply couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"Your young master?"

Qin Xiao sneered: "Hiring martial arts practitioners to kill people—let alone Su Mingxuan, even if it were Su Tianyang, he would still be killed!"

"Who dares to cause trouble in front of the Su family's house?"

At this moment, Su Yinzhou also rushed over. As Su Tianyang's cousin, Su Yinzhou's tone was naturally not weak.

Upon seeing the armed police officers outside, Su Yinzhou suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Young Master Zhou, something terrible has happened! These men have killed Young Master Mingxuan..."

Upon seeing Su Yinzhou emerge, the previously bewildered security guard immediately shouted at Su Yinzhou in alarm.

"What?"

Su Yinzhou felt his mind go blank, and he doubted his ears: "What...did you just say?"

"Young Master Zhou, quickly go and tell the patriarch that Young Master Mingxuan has been murdered..."

The security guard's screams rang out again.

Su Yinzhou still found it hard to believe, but when he glanced at Su Mingxuan's corpse with its throat snapped at the door, an unprecedented feeling of pleasure surged from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and he was so excited that he almost shouted.

But it was only for a moment; his joy was quickly suppressed.

"Young Master Qin, what's going on?"

These security guards didn't recognize Qin Xiao, but Su Yinzhou did. He took a deep breath, desperately trying to suppress his laughter, and put on an angry expression as he questioned Qin Xiao.

"???"

Qin Xiao looked at Su Yinzhou with a strange expression: "Su Yinzhou, are you secretly pleased? You seem very happy that Su Mingxuan is dead?"

"Bullshit! I didn't! Don't slander me, he's my brother!"

Hearing Qin Xiao say this so bluntly in front of several security guards, Su Yinzhou immediately started cursing like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Hey!"

Qin Xiao, as if struck by a sudden thought, let out a soft, enigmatic chuckle: "Enough nonsense, go and call Su Tianyang out here!"

"You think you can just call me 'uncle' like that? Qin Xiao, are you out of your mind? How dare you come to the Su family's door to cause trouble?"

Su Yinzhou roared angrily, his face flushed.

"Looking for trouble? Are you an idiot? I've already killed Su Mingxuan. What, do you expect me to come to your house for dumplings instead of causing trouble?"

Qin Xiao scoffed, then waved his hand dismissively: "Smash the door! Go in and grab Su Tianyang. Don't forget to take the body with you. Anyone who tries to stop us, shoot them on the spot!"

"yes!"

Several members of the Armed Forces Management Bureau straightened up and cocked their guns.

Li Zuwang looked at Qin Xiao in shock. He did not expect Qin Xiao to be so crazy as to rush to the Su family and arrest Su Tianyang.

But Li Zuwang had no time to figure out Qin Xiao's true intentions. Seeing the men carrying the corpse inside, Li Zuwang had no choice but to follow.
