Leaders also need to save face

  "I'm not going, and you're not allowed to go either!"

  Xu Ningxuan stopped Di Yu from seeing Xu Haicheng with a commanding tone, her eyes were originally the type that was big and bright, but this time they were even more intimidating.

  "Xu Xiaojie, I won't force you if you don't want to go, but why are you still not letting me go?" Di Yu looked at her strangely.

  "In any case, you're not allowed to go!" The woman became overbearing and absolutely unreasonable, this was her trademark, with a hint of applying for special privileges from the national law, Xu Ninghuan had mastered it perfectly.

  Di Yu was afraid at the dinner table, pitifully saying: "Xu dàjiě (older sister), can't you just pity me? You're a super-rich lady and you want me to support you, is that okay? At least let me go find your rich-to-the-point-of-oil-dripping father to get some benefits back, or else I'll be ruined!"

  "Pfft! You're lucky that I, a lady, would even consider letting you support me. In this day and age, someone like me is loved by all who see me, with a great figure and beautiful face. But with just one house that's not even up to par, and it's still rented! And you dare to ask for exclusivity? You've got some nerve!" Mentioning Xu Haicheng, Xu Ningxuan was about to get angry, but after being spoken to by Di Yu like this, she didn't rush into anything and instead started chatting with him.

  "Then we'll have to be frank with each other, if you really want to follow me, Di Yu, then so be it. You'll definitely get the best accommodation and three meals a day. But the key is that you're still an imposter now, who knows when you'll soften up and run off with your old man? By then, I won't even have a single hair left to grasp, what a waste of my youth! Am I not losing out?"

  "Hmph, then you'd better work harder, I'll try my best to make sure you get a permanent position so you won't have to worry. Come on, young man!" Xǔ Yīhuán patted Dì Yǔ's shoulder again, looking down at him with a superior attitude, but she couldn't help bursting into laughter.

  "Alas! I've got stuck with a big sister like you, I must have been unlucky for eight lifetimes!" Di Yu sighed heavily.

  "Hey, hey, what's with that expression? Are you feeling wronged? I didn't let you see him for your own safety. He's got a lot of money and is hot-tempered, if he gets angry at you, he could crush you just by raising an eyebrow! You don't know how to appreciate kindness.

  Xu Ninghuan leaned in close to Di Yu and tossed a sanitary pad at him, humming: "I've kept track of everything you've eaten and drunk. Don't worry, once I make some money, I'll pay you back with interest! But if you dare betray me, we won't even be friends!"

  The sentence after this is already very serious.

  Di Yu also stopped joking and said: "Actually I also wanted to advise him to leave, blocking the entrance every day affects our daily life."

  Xu Ningxuan didn't say a word, having just gone through the ordeal of being kidnapped and then being treated like a prisoner after escaping. She didn't even dare to go to school, it was really very inconvenient. "You really won't betray me, right?"

  "I'm crazy! You're so beautiful, I'd love to have you stay here every day and bask in your fragrance. Why would I want to drive you away?" Di Yu said innocently.

  Xu Ningxuan's heart felt like it had been smeared with honey, and she scolded: "You're so sweet-tongued. Then you go tell him to leave, but still be careful."

  She was still worried that Di Yu would become a burden for Xu Hai.

  Di Yu said, "If you're still worried, just stand by the window and watch. If something goes wrong, there are a lot of knives in the kitchen, grab one and rush down to save me."

  "Haha, you're crazy!" Xǔ Níng Huán punched him with a smile.

  Di Yu chatted with Xu Ningxuan in the room for over ten minutes. By calculation, if Xu Haicheng came immediately, he should have been downstairs already. At the window, a stretched Bentley could be clearly seen parked at the entrance of the community.

  The real estate tycoon's momentum is really not small, and there are also four black Audi cars escorting him on the side.

  As soon as I walked to the entrance of the residential area, a man in a suit came up and greeted me: "Mr. Di, our boss invites you to talk in the car."

  Di Yu nodded and got into the Bentley under the escort's lead. Xu Haicheng leaned against the car window, holding a glass of red wine, with a box of cigars next to the bottle, playing the role of a financial mogul on TV.

  Di Yu got on the car, and Xu Haicheng took out a cigar and smiled: "Want one?"

  Di Yu said: "A cigar worth over 3,000 yuan... doesn't suit me. But this fine red wine is definitely worth a try, hmm, this glass alone must be at least 5,000 yuan. The real estate king really knows how to enjoy himself. But Ning Xuan is in a much worse situation."

  He shook the glass in his hand and let out a long sigh.

  "What's wrong with Jingxuan?" Xǔ Hǎichéng asked in a low voice.

  "She stayed in her room all day to avoid you and was so hungry she didn't know what to eat," said Di Yu calmly.

  "Little brat! How could you be Qingxuan's boyfriend and let her go hungry for a whole day?!" Xu Haicheng's anger flared up, he rushed over and grabbed Di Yu's collar, bursting with fiery temper.

  "And how did you become her father?" Di Yu asked without hesitation, with just a light tone.

  Xu Haicheng was like being splashed with a basin of cold water, and he suddenly sat down dejectedly, looked at Di Yu with one eye, and narrowed his eyes. "Di Yu, a sophomore at Yanjing University, can tell the value of red wine and cigars at a glance. It seems that you are not as simple as you look on the surface. Speak up, what did you call me here for this time? Money?"

  "I'm not simple, haven't you seen that already? As for why I came to see you, I hope you'll withdraw your people and don't affect Jing Xuan's normal life." Di Yu sneered. Money? To him, it was even more insignificant than a piece of trash, the thing he cared least about in the world. The real estate king of Country Z might be formidable to others, but in his eyes, they were no different from ants on the ground.

  "You're so arrogant! But arrogance requires capital, I know you can fight well, but can you compare to a handgun? Do you think the kidnapping of Ning Xuan is just as it seems on the surface? I sent these people to protect Ning Xuan's safety!" Xu Haicheng lay on the luxurious leather chair, nowadays young people are arrogant to death with just a little bit of skill. If this person in front of him wasn't his daughter's boyfriend, no matter how good he was at fighting, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to talk to him.

  "Haha! Ridiculous, ridiculous." Di Yu sneered.

  Xu Haicheng frowned and said, "Am I a joke?"

  Di Yu savored a mouthful of red wine, the mellow feeling swirling between his throat and tongue tip. Indeed, it was a top-notch wine, first sweet then astringent, both astringent and sweet, with an aftertaste that lingered on. "Tsk tsk, you set up such a big show just for this cup of wine, I can still appreciate it."

  "Kid, don't play dumb, just say what you want to say!" Xu Haicheng was already extremely annoyed, his face turned pale with rage. How could a young whippersnapper like him dare to toy with the great real estate magnate?

  Di Yu sneered, "Qin Xuan was robbed of her jewelry by your business rival as a cover-up. In fact, they were after the land in Yanjing Daxing that you own. Do you think you're the only clever person in this world?"

  "You, you..." Xu Haicheng was shocked in his heart and looked at Di Yu incredulously. "How did you know?!"

  "I'm guessing." Di Yu hummed, "I don't need to explain it to you, with me here, Cong Shuang's safety is completely guaranteed! By the way, you still don't know, actually I was the first one to track down the hijacker and rescue her. I remember at that time the hijacker had three guns!"

  He raised his hands, empty-handed, meaning that guns were nothing to be proud of. Earlier, Xu Haicheng said he couldn't compare with a handgun, and Di Yu silently countered with a slap.

  "Is it you?!" Xu Haicheng was even more shocked, he had always thought that it was his own pressure on the Yanjing police station that forced those policemen to quickly rescue people back, but unexpectedly, the one who rescued his daughter was her boyfriend! And with bare hands, he rescued someone from under the hands of three armed thugs.

  "What kind of person are you?" Xu Haicheng asked in a deep voice.

  "A person who can protect Cong Xuan. That's all I have to say, if I find your people here again tonight, I'll knock them down one by one and throw them into the trash can, goodbye." Di Yu opened the car door and got out of the car.

  "Wait!" Xu Haicheng shouted out loud.

  Di Yu turned around and looked at him.

  Xu Haicheng thought for a moment and said: "Can you help me with something?"

  "Let me persuade Jing Huan to meet with you one more time?" Di Yu said with a smile.

  "Hmm? Alright, I'm counting on you." Xu Haicheng was struck by Di Yu's words, which had hit upon his own thoughts. He wasn't surprised by the kidnapping plot he had heard earlier, nor did he care whether Di Yu was telling the truth or not about rescuing Xu Ningxuan. At least when it came to seeing his daughter, he felt that Di Yu could be of help.

  "Sorry, I can't help you." Di Yu bluntly refused.

  "Why?" Xu Haicheng was perplexed.

  "It's because of Jing Xuan, she doesn't want to see you." Di Yu replied simply.

  This isn't nonsense, is it? If she were willing to see me, I wouldn't have had to swallow my pride and ask you. "What do you want in return for helping me?"

  He is a businessman who firmly believes that anyone and anything can be measured by value.

  "I'll look for you when I need to talk again." Di Yu went straight away, driving the Land Rover out of the military district.

  Xu Haicheng's face turned dark as he pulled out his phone and said: "Look it up for me, what exactly was the person who saved Ning Xuan last time?"

  Half an hour later, Xu Haicheng received accurate news that proved Di Yu's previous words were not false. A few days ago, Yang Qian brought three hijackers back to the police station for custody and had recorded the entire incident according to Di Yu and Xu Ninghua's oral account, so it was not difficult to investigate the situation on that day.

  "Everyone leave!" After a brief moment of contemplation, Xu Haicheng summoned one of his bodyguards and had all the guards standing at the entrance of the residential compound withdrawn.

  Xu Ningxuan stood behind the curtains, watching everything with a mix of shock, delight and subtle melancholy. "This guy is quite something! Xu Haicheng is such an overbearing and tyrannical person, yet he was actually persuaded to back down, haha! From now on, I'll be sticking to you..."

  Di Yu solved Xu Ningxuan's trouble, but didn't know that his own trouble had also arrived. Hong Fang thought left and right, always feeling that Di Yu's mouth agreed to be this instructor, yet didn't have the slightest bit of effort, clearly just teasing him. Thinking that he, a great Chinese general, was being toyed with by a little rabbit, his face really couldn't take it.

  Although he had been squeezed by Di Zhenjun, Di Yu was still responsible for it. He couldn't even handle one of his subordinates, and in the future, he would not be able to hold his head up in front of those old friends.

  So he thought of a way, and asked someone to pretend to be angry.

  The next day, he brought Li Li, the gun king of this region in Country Z, to suppress Di Yu. At the same time, he invited Di Zhenjun to come and watch how Di Yu was trained, not believing that with both barrels firing at once, Di Yu would still not be obedient. Of course... if he and several other old buddies had misjudged things, and Di Yu wasn't as formidable as they had imagined, then they could only replace Di Yu - Hong Fang didn't want useless underlings.

  The leader of Z country's most mysterious organization of death gods also has a face to lose.
