Chapter 75: Neat and Tidy

With a loud roar, it felt as if a thunderbolt had struck Minister Zhang’s head. His ears started bleeding.

His whole body was blown away as if hit by a gale force wind. He flew horizontally, crashing into the wall of the office corridor, and then fell to the ground.

At that moment, Lin Xu coldly said, “You’re nothing!”

Just then, Lin Xu’s phone rang. He glanced at it and his icy expression disappeared, replaced by a smile. “Ye Xuan, what’s up?”

“Dean Lin, those guys who think they’re something, did they come looking for you?”

Lin Xu replied indifferently, “You don’t need to worry about that. That so-called minister has been fired by me. As for the others, they’ve received severe reprimands and are under probation.”

Ye Xuan said casually, “I’m not concerned about that. I just asked casually. I called because I have another matter to discuss.”

“Oh? What is it?”

Ye Xuan explained, “Do you know about Mengli’s parents? They sold her for fame and fortune. I couldn’t stand it, so I spent four million to sever their parental relationship with Mengli.”

“Now these two old fools regret it. They couldn’t contact Mengli, so they sent threatening messages, saying they want to expose her and ruin her reputation. Dean Lin, I believe you’re good at handling this kind of thing, right?”

Lin Xu angrily said, “These two idiots really think they can mess with us at Magic City University? If it weren’t for the fact that they are Mengli’s biological parents, I would have dealt with them a long time ago!”

However, Ye Xuan said, “Dean Lin, who said they are Mengli’s biological parents?”

“You mean…”

Ye Xuan explained, “My sister secretly collected their hair and did a paternity test. They are not Mengli’s biological parents, but rather adoptive parents. According to the principle of gratitude for raising a child, it should be a big deal. However, I gave them four million, which is enough to compensate for their efforts. Now they are pushing their luck. How to deal with them is up to you, Dean Lin.”

After hearing this, Lin Xu said slowly, “I understand. Don’t worry, no one will bother Su Mengli anymore.”

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xu called Zhou Qiang into his office and gave him some instructions.

After listening, Zhou Qiang reluctantly said, “But they are Su Mengli’s parents. Isn’t it inappropriate to do this?”

Lin Xu said indifferently, “Ye Xuan has already said that they are not her biological parents. Moreover, he has already spent money to sever their relationship. You tell me, why did Ye Xuan spend that money?”

“Why?” Zhou Qiang asked.

Lin Xu explained, “With Ye Xuan’s personality and the influence of his family in Jiangcheng, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to deal with Su Mengli’s parents. But he chose to spend money, four million, to sever that relationship. The purpose is to make Su Mengli completely give up on them and have no more attachments. This way, when we deal with these two old dogs, Su Mengli won’t be sad or upset!”

“Besides, you’re doing this to protect Su Mengli and ensure the growth of this SSS-class genius. With your abilities, it shouldn’t be difficult to handle this matter smoothly and make it look like an accident, right?”

Finally, Zhou Qiang said, “Ah, why am I always the bad guy?”

Lin Xu patted Zhou Qiang’s shoulder and said, “That’s just how your abilities are. There’s nothing we can do. Everything is for the greater good!”

Lin Xu had already said this much, so what else could Zhou Qiang do? He could only obediently carry out the mission.

After Zhou Qiang left, Lin Xu lit a cigarette in his office and took a deep drag. He sighed, “You’re a ruthless guy. I have to be careful with you in the future!”

Lin Xu knew very well that Su Guodong and Zhang Xiulan, as Su Mengli’s parents, even if they were adoptive parents, no one dared to touch them as long as they had the gratitude of raising a child. In fact, in his previous life, they lived well even after cutting ties with Su Mengli and not receiving any help from her.

Even after Jiangcheng fell into crisis, the country arranged several awakened individuals to protect Su Mengli’s parents, fearing that something might happen to them and affect Su Mengli.

But this life was different. Ye Xuan gave Su Guodong and Zhang Xiulan two million each. On the surface, Ye Xuan seemed generous, even a bit foolish. But for people like them, could they really be satisfied with just two million? Impossible!

The money Ye Xuan gave them was enough to make Su Mengli have no feelings for them. Each of them received two million, which Ye Xuan said was the price for selling Su Mengli. In reality, what Ye Xuan spent was the price to buy their lives!

Four hours later, in Jiangcheng, Zhang Xiulan was walking on the street, carrying a designer handbag, accompanied by a few girlfriends. As they passed a certain section of the road, a gust of wind blew.

An old billboard that had been neglected for a long time seemed unstable in the wind and then, with a bang, it fell from the sky.

Coincidentally, the heavy iron billboard hit Zhang Xiulan’s head directly, causing her to fall to the ground.

Her skull was crushed, and brain matter and blood spilled out. She died on the spot, beyond saving. Zhang Xiulan’s girlfriends were shocked and screamed one after another…

Half an hour later, an Audi car was driving on the road. Su Guodong was driving, and in the back seat were his new family, Chen Lan and Chen Lan’s son. The three of them seemed happy and were living quite well.

Of course, they were able to live so freely because they sold Su Mengli and received two million in return.

Chen Lan said, “Is your daughter doing well? Didn’t you say you could find a way to get more money from her? Our big villa depends on your daughter!”

Su Guodong assured her, “Don’t worry, I promise to do what I said. Let me tell you, my daughter’s talent is extraordinary. When the admissions office saw her, they even brought out extravagant and luxury mansions and courtyards. Ah…”

Hearing this, Chen Lan also envied, “If only it were like that. You shouldn’t have severed your relationship with her.”

Su Guodong shamelessly said, “What’s the point of severing it? If she dares to refuse my conditions, I’ll make her reputation go down the drain!”

Chen Lan was tempted and said, “So, how much are you planning to ask for this time?”

With greed in his eyes, Su Guodong said, “I want one billion. As long as she gives me one billion, I will pretend that I never raised this daughter and won’t rely on her anymore.”

Chen Lan frowned and said, “Isn’t one billion a bit too little? How about two billion?”

In the passenger seat, Zhou Qiang couldn’t listen anymore. His original goal was only Su Guodong and Zhang Xiulan. If he killed only one person, it would be a bit troublesome. So, he was waiting for the right moment.

But during this waiting period, as he listened to Su Guodong and Chen Lan’s conversation, he suddenly felt that since this family was so close and harmonious, it would be too cruel to just deal with Su Guodong. So, he decided to be a good person and send them all on their way.
