Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress

Chapter 667: Xinya Was Indeed in Danger

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was within the mansion on Mount Li.

Si Yiyan was wearing the dark-colored shirt that Wen Xinya bought for him. The obviously extremely elegant, almost poetic shirt, when worn on him at this point, instead looked like the ambiguous gray area between black and white.

Gray color combined the refined and clean white color and the glowing black. Simple yet mysterious, classy yet with a tinge of coldness, it was a thirsty and deadly color.

This was a dominating kind of color—instantly, power, strength, deadliness, and coldness was presented wonderfully on his body.

He sat on the sofa rather casually, fondling the second cuff link on his left sleeve. Unsurprisingly, the grayish-white buttons on the shirt had already been changed to a similarly grayish-white but engraved with “Rexi” in a cursive font.

Gu Yuehan’s hurried steps suddenly rang in the study room. “Ninth Young Master, the Ivanov Family has sent you a gift.”

Si Yiyan said with a mildly gloomy expression, “Bring it over.”

Gu Yuehan placed the carved red sandalwood box in his hands before the Ninth Young Master as his right eyelid twitched non-stop, so much so that he felt vexed by it. A bad premonition started to spread in his heart.

Si Yiyan opened the exquisite engraved red sandalwood box—a bunch of black hair laid within!

The meaning was understood without being spoken.

Gu Yuehan felt a chill spread upwards from his feet. “Ninth Young Master...”

“Clang!”

Si Yiyan kicked the box away and sneered. “That old chap, Old Mr. Amo, wants to start the battle with a gift.” He started laughing somewhat madly. “This is a tactic invented by our ancestors of Country Z! Playing this trick with me, a legitimate descendant of the Huaxia Family—simply courting death.”

Since he wanted to threaten him with Xinya, he would show him the way to hell.

On the huge LCD screen on the wall in the study room, a conference meeting was being set up with all of Lucifer’s higher management.

“The Ivanov Family is too overbearing. Our JH business in Country E, under the pressure of the Ivanov Family and that old chap, Anata, has now shrank to thirty percent. To think that the Ivanov Family actually has such a big appetite, wanting to even swallow this thirty percent of ours. Recently, they’ve been very active—not only did they secretly contact our buying and selling leads over here, but they’ve also even stopped us when we were shipping the goods.”

“Over at our end, a few comrades have already landed in prison due to their scheming. The Ivanov Family is obviously declaring war with us.”

“Previously, our peace treaty with the Ivanov Family had been reached under the hands of that old chap, Anata, solely. Old Mr. Amo has openly breached the contents of the peace treaty, and when I called Anata, he actually rejected to discuss with me, saying that he wants you, Rex, to personally talk to them.”

“Those old fools, Old Mr. Amo and Anata are obviously in cahoots, wanting to force us into submission, Lucifer to take Anata’s side, and support Anata during the elections.”

Lucifer was in a precarious situation.

Si Yiyan said mildly, “To play the hero in the heat of a moment’s anger is but the doing of a rash man. I’ve told you all many times not to get worked up easily in your dealings—no one will pay for your health if you were to damage it due to anger.”

His trivialized words caused an odd silence to befall at the conference.

Si Yiyan said mildly, “Do you know why I’d previously offered to give up almost seventy percent of Lucifer’s JH business to the Ivanov Family to reach the peace treaty with them?”

The meeting room was dead silent. Someone sputtered, “Weren’t we pressurized...”

Si Yiyan said, “In order to legitimize the Xiasi Group, we can’t deal in JH anymore. I knew to give and take, so I merely took this opportunity to throw this hot potato to the Ivanov Family. The Ivanov Family thought that they could handle the JH business, when actually... from the start, I’d already controlled the production of JH behind the Ivanov Family—all the mineral ores and materials. The Ivanov Family is just a tool for me.”

He had single-handedly aided the Ivanov Family to become the biggest JH dealer of Country E to earn money for Lucifer.

Lucifer, as a power in Country Z, despite having a reputable standing in Country E and managing more than half of the powers on the seven thousand kilometers borders between countries Z and E, could never be able to establish its footing in the JH business. This was because Country E was known as the country of battles and had way too many old powers—naturally, those people wouldn’t allow the Chinese to freely devour their wealth, which had caused Lucifer to face a destructive blow.

He had merely used the opportunity of secretly supporting the Ivanov Family to stabilize the influence of Lucifer in the mineral ores and materials areas, becoming the provider that many old JH families of Country Z relied upon with their lives.

The conference meeting was filled with gasps in unison—so Rex’s intention was never JH, but the mineral ores and materials.

Si Yiyan said mildly, “Since the Ivanov Family wants the remaining thirty percent of our JH business, let them fight for it. I’d previously already made this thirty percent of business as a condition to exchange for the oil mining over at the East. Now... the Xiasi Group is merely managing it on their behalf. Just let them fight it out on their own. Since I could support an Ivanov Family previously, I can naturally destroy it.”

It was time for destruction.

Gu Yuehan stood dumbfounded aside, feeling cold in his heart.

The Ninth Young Master had never even mentioned this step to him before—it was definitely being handled by his brother, Gu Yuexi.

After all, it was a scheme that actually had the politicians and the underworld powers of Country Z going in circles, manipulating them.

No wonder, regardless of the situation at Country E, the Ninth Young Master could remain calm and even the rarest duke couldn’t move him.

Because he had control of Country E’s economy.

The Ivanov Family was Lucifer’s biggest enemy, but the Ninth Young Master would destroy them in the blink of an eye, because... he had already buried that chess piece long ago.

It was simply careful planning with every conceivable possibility taken into consideration!

After the conference ended, Si Yiyan fondled the phone in his hand and switched on the Global Positioning System. To be able to see the location of the girl he loved in the huge planet Earth was a blissful thing that he had to do every night before sleeping.

The Global Positioning System was switched on and Si Yiyan saw the red dot on it kept jumping towards an unknown direction—it wasn’t the familiar Wen Family, Mo Family, or the Institute that he knew.

Si Yiyan’s expression turned cold. He wanted to dial her number, but his finger shook and moved away as if he was scalded.

Recalling that she was still outside during their call previously, a bad premonition arose in his heart.

Xinya must be in danger.

Si Yiyan’s expression instantly darkened as he connected to the computer while instructing Gu Yuehan, “Order all the powers of Lucifer within the capital city to be on standby.”

Gu Yuehan felt slightly lost, but he didn’t dare to delay the slightest bit.

When the Global Positioning System got connected on the computer, the red dot on the computer kept jumping forward. Si Yiyan typed away on the computer, analyzing Wen Xinya’s precise location.

When he realized that Wen Xinya was already nearing the suburbs of the western district, he couldn’t help but feel chilly all over.

Xinya was indeed in danger.
