"Smack!"

Old Ghost Xu directly slapped him across the face!

Xiao Zhenghai was sent flying, crashing onto the sofa!

He opened his mouth, and out sprayed a mouthful of fresh blood.

"I heard you\'re quite arrogant? Even dared to send someone to kill our Master?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhenghai was utterly bewildered. "I... I don\'t know you at all, Sir Xu! Nor do I know the Master you\'re speaking of!"

Old Ghost Xu said coldly, "Your wife caused trouble in Jiangcheng and dared to make a move against our Master. By rights, for this offense, she deserves death."

Xiao Zhenghai shuddered...

Could it be that the person who killed his wife was the Master that Sir Xu was talking about?

The identity of Old Ghost Xu was already enough to make them shudder!

An even more formidable presence, how formidable could it be?

They didn\'t even dare to imagine.

Xiao Zhenghai felt a jolt through his entire body! He had nearly caused a catastrophic disaster!

Old Ghost Xu spoke in a cold voice, "If the Xiao Family dares to get involved in this matter again, we\'ll show no mercy!"

With that, he floated away.

Xiao Zhenghai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, gasping heavily, and slumped onto the sofa!

That was a close call...

The Xu Family.

Xu Muge and her group got dolled up and returned to the Xu Family.

Xu Jiang\'s face was as dark as water.

However, upon seeing Xu Muge\'s features restored, he was overjoyed, "Good! Very good! Muge, I didn\'t expect you to have recovered. It seems there\'s hope for the revival of the Xu Family!"

Liu Ya hurriedly said, "Dad, look, Muge has come back. Do you think... maybe it\'s time to let her take over the CEO position again?"

Xu Jiang waved his hand dismissively, "We\'ll talk about that later."

"Muge, you\'re not getting any younger. It\'s time to arrange a marriage for you. Currently, our Xu Family isn\'t in the best situation, and we might need you to make a sacrifice."

Xu Muge declaimed, "Grandfather, right now I just want to focus on my career, I\'m not interested in these marital matters."

"Nonsense!" Xu Jiang roared in anger. "You dare to defy my order? Don\'t you have any regard for me as the head of the family? So you\'ve grown bold wings, have you!"

Xu Muge lifted her head, resolutely saying, "Grandfather, I came back to bring profit to the Xu Family. With my business acumen, I will definitely take the Xu Family to the next level!"

"As for the matter of marriage... please don\'t worry about it."

"You—you—you—" Xu Jiang trembled with fury. "You\'re rebelling! Xu Muge, it seems you want to be kicked out again and live like a stray dog!"

"The easiest way for our Xu Family to bring in benefits is through a political marriage! Our Xu Family is short on funds recently, and we want to establish a connection with the Longting Group. Coincidentally, Mr. Wu\'s son, Mr. Wu, who is the second shareholder of the Longting Group, used to pursue you!"

"If you marry him, our Xu Group will have the backing of the Longting Group in Jiangcheng and will surely thrive and achieve new brilliance!"

That wastrel Wu Xiaolong?

Xu Muge was stunned. Could such a person be a marriage candidate?

"I refuse." Xu Muge gritted her teeth.

"Refuse or not, you have to agree!" Xu Jiang paid no attention to her resistance, saying indifferently, "Once you\'re in the Xu Family\'s doors, it\'s not your place to make decisions!"

Xu Muge clenched her teeth and turned to leave.

Xu Jiang slammed the table and coldly shouted, "Guards! Take the miss and watch her closely! Don\'t allow any harm to come to her, otherwise, I will hold you accountable!"

At the drop of his words, Xu Muge\'s face turned deathly pale; she knew she was being placed under house arrest...

Couldn\'t she see clearly who Wu Xiaolong was, adept in eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling? Letting her marry such trash, wasn\'t Xu Jiang pushing her into a pit?

Xu Jinlong trembled, "Dad, isn\'t this a bit too much?"

Xu Jiang shouted angrily, "Unruly child! Keep your mouth shut. Are you eager to see the Xu Family go bankrupt?"

Xu Jinlong tried again, "But..."

"That\'s final!" Xu Jiang wasn\'t interested in arguing. "If Mr. Wu agrees to it, tomorrow, we\'ll have the engagement. Guards, take them down for a good rest!"

A swarm of guards surged forth, surrounding the group.

Xu Jinlong and others did not expect such an outcome, their eyes filled with astonishment and anger!

Xu Mulin raged, "Grandfather, that\'s too much, you cannot ruin my sister\'s happiness!!"

"Slap him!" Xu Jiang ordered coldly.

"Smack smack smack!"

A few guards stepped forward and after several slaps, they began punching and kicking Xu Mulin, causing him to bleed from the corner of his mouth!

"Xu Mulin, in front of great interests of the Xu Family, you must understand the bigger picture!" Xu Jiang scolded. "You\'re letting grandfather down by behaving like this. Take him away and lock him in the dark room."

At this, Xu Muge\'s delicate body shivered. The Xu Family\'s dark room was for punishing those who broke family rules. It was not a place where the average person could endure. If Xu Mulin were locked up there, he would definitely not be able to withstand the torture!

"Grandfather, please... I agree."

For now, she could only agree and then find a way to escape!

"That\'s my good granddaughter!" Xu Jiang nodded with some satisfaction. "You were blessed with good looks; marrying a wealthy and powerful man is the proper path! Look at the boyfriend Huanhuan found, isn\'t he outstanding?"

Xu Muge bit her red lips, feeling extremely repressed.

Xu Mulin clenched his teeth furiously.

He was no stranger to that Wu Xiaolong, a famously wasteful scion in Jiangcheng with a notorious reputation. How could his sister marry such trash?

Xu Muge and the others were kept under strict surveillance in the Xu Family\'s side courtyard.

Liu Ya clenched her teeth, "Has the old man lost his mind? Wanting to wed Muge to that kind of scum?"

Though she was avaricious, she wouldn\'t push her daughter into the fire! If the other person were a young and promising man, it\'d be forgivable, but Wu Xiaolong was just scum; even if Muge married him, she would not have a good life!

Xu Muge remained silent. If Qin Jiang learned about this, would he dare to come for her?

Jiang City People\'s Hospital.

After Qin Jiang had finished clearing away the dishes for his mother and sister, he suddenly received a message.

"Now, we are back at the Xu Family, but the Xu Family has placed us under house arrest. Tomorrow, I\'m going to be engaged."

It was a message from Xu Muge.

Qin Jiang\'s head exploded! House arrest? Forced marriage?

He rushed out of the hospital room, frantically calling Xu Muge, but all calls were like dropping stones into the sea!

Qin Jiang clenched his fists tightly!

No matter what, he would not stand by and watch Xu Muge be thrown into the tiger\'s mouth. If the Xu Family refused to release her, he wouldn\'t mind making these people pay a painful price!

Moreover, Xu Muge had sent him this message because she hoped he would rescue her, right?

He made a call to Shen Longting, "Spread the word for me. Tomorrow, I, Qin Jiang, will personally go to the Xu Family to propose. Whoever dares to block the way, whoever dares to cause trouble, will bear the consequences!"

Shen Longting asked, "Years ago, Miss Xu pawned a necklace here at Shen\'s Jewelry—the Star Moon, which is now the treasure of our store. Should I send it back to her?"

Qin Jiang was stunned. The Star Moon Necklace, wasn\'t that Xu Muge\'s favorite necklace?

"Send it back along with it as a betrothal gift."

The next day.

The Xu Family was all festive inside and out.

Because today was the day Xu Muge was to be engaged, and her fiancé was Mr. Wu of Longting Group, the son of the Longting Group\'s second largest shareholder! Once they were allied with the other party through marriage, the Xu Family was going to soar!

Especially Xu Jiang, seated in a position of power, felt exceptionally refreshed. The recent crisis of the Xu Group had left him feeling suffocated.

Now, with Mr. Wu agreeing to marry Xu Muge, this undoubtedly relieved their pressure. Having the support of Longting Group, the Xu Family would soon rise to great heights.

However…

What really soured his mood was that Xu Muge had dared to send a message to Qin Jiang yesterday!

And this brash Qin Jiang had even declared he would come to snatch the bride today? Ignorant of his own limitations!

A pauper like him worthy of their Xu Family\'s gem? If Qin Jiang dared to step through the Xu Family\'s gate today, he would beat him like a dead dog and throw him out!

Nobody could stop the Xu Family from climbing up to the Longting Group!

Soon, Xu Muge, after being meticulously dressed, also appeared in the hall with the other members of the Xu Family.

However, there was little joy on Xu Muge\'s pretty face.

Xu Jiang said coldly, "Muge, stop dreaming."

"Qin Jiang won\'t dare to come. Moreover, I\'ve hired an Inner Strength martial artist from the Liu Family Martial Arts Hall to guard the door for today, just to prevent that guy from making trouble! If he dares to come, he\'s sure to be beaten into a sandbag and thrown out!"

"And even if by a million-to-one chance he gets past me, he won\'t get past Mr. Wu! Do you think the people around Mr. Wu are pushovers?"

Xu Muge clenched her fists tightly, also feeling some concern. Wu Xiaolong was no easy mark!

If Qin Jiang ruined the proposal today, would Wu Xiaolong let him off the hook, given his temperament?

Xu Jiang spoke indifferently, "Muge, accept the arrangement. I\'m doing this for your own good! In the future, you will live a life of luxury as a rich wife. What\'s there to be dissatisfied with?"

"Fine! I\'ll just wait here, then. Today, if Qin Jiang doesn\'t come, I\'ll get engaged to Wu Xiaolong! But if he dares to come, today I dare to leave with him!"

Xu Jiang scoffed, "So what if he comes? In front of Mr. Wu, he is nothing but an ant! Today, no one can change this fact!"

Meanwhile, outside the Xu Family mansion.

Qin Jiang, dressed in black, with a grim expression, stepped down from the car and walked toward the entrance of the Xu Family.

"Halt!" Several guards, wielding electric batons, shouted, "Our Family Head has given orders: today, neither Qin Jiang nor a dog may enter. If you take one more step forward, we won\'t be polite any longer!"

Qin Jiang said coldly, "Anyone who blocks my path will bear the consequences!"

The guards, furious, rushed at him with their electric batons!

"Is that all you\'ve got?" Qin Jiang, bristling with anger, struck. Within five seconds, the guards were all overthrown like dead wood in a fierce wind, collapsing to the ground, out of the fight!

"A bunch of trash." A voice of disdain said, "It looks like I\'ll have to take action myself!"

"Master Chen!"

Hearing this voice, everyone\'s spirits lifted, and sure enough, they saw a middle-aged man slowly walking over!

"Master Chen is the third strongest member of the Liu Family Martial Arts Hall, a true Inner Strength martial artist!"

"Now, Qin Jiang is finished."

"It seems the lesson I gave you yesterday wasn\'t enough?" said Qin Jiang suddenly, in a cold voice.

Master Chen\'s heart shook, and recognizing the newcomer as Qin Jiang, he fell to his knees with a thud, trembling!

"I, I..."

"What about you? Scram!" Qin Jiang recognized this middle-aged man as one from the Liu Family Martial Arts Hall. He walked over and kicked the kneeling Master Chen, knocking him unconscious!

The entire place went silent.

What just happened?

Master Chen actually knelt out of fear? And was then kicked unconscious by Qin Jiang!

Their worldview crumbled.

With a chilling aura, Qin Jiang made his way toward the main hall of the Xu Family. Along the way, all the Xu Family guards stepped aside, not daring to block his path!

"Bang—"

He kicked open the doors of the Xu Family main hall!

Instantly.

All eyes were drawn toward him.

"Qin Jiang!" Seeing Qin Jiang arrive, Xu Muge\'s delicate body trembled slightly, moved.

"You bastard! You really dared to come!" Xu Jiang shook with rage.

Qin Jiang spoke calmly, "Old Mr. Xu, I\'ve already informed you that I would come to propose today!"

"So, you\'re not welcoming me?"

Xu Jiang snorted coldly, "You are courting death! I\'ve already promised Muge to Mr. Wu. When Mr. Wu arrives, you\'ll learn how to spell \'death\'."

Qin Jiang\'s tone was resolute, "Even if Heaven\'s Emperor himself came today, he couldn\'t stop me from taking Muge away!"

"Applause, applause, applause!" Just then, a round of clapping came from outside the door, "Good, very good! So there\'s someone who dares to compete with me, Wu Xiaolong, for a woman. Quite courageous indeed!"
