The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

Xu Yan had just arrived in front of Chen Fang.

A scolding voice came from a distance: "Chen Fang!"

Everyone was startled.

They turned towards the direction of the voice.

Only to see a travel-worn Xu Li appear at the corridor entrance without anyone knowing when he got there.

After shouting, he rushed quickly towards Chen Fang.

Seeing this, Xu Guan also stood up, wanting to intervene.

However, Xu Li didn't give him any face, directly pushing him aside and threw a punch at Chen Fang's face!

Chen Fang was already on guard.

He intercepted Xu Li's hand in mid-air.

One hit failed.

Xu Li tried to kick Chen Fang.

Chen Fang easily dodged.

Xu Li kicked the air.

He stumbled, and if it hadn't been for Xu Guan's quick reflexes to support him, Xu Li might have fallen to the ground.

"What are you doing?"

Chen Fang asked.

Xu Li, in a fit of rage, said angrily, "What am I doing? If it weren't for you, would my father have gotten so seriously ill so quickly? The way he is now, it's all your fault, I want to kill you."

"I'm here to see Old Xu, I don't want to argue with you."

Chen Fang said.

Xu Li grabbed Chen Fang by the collar.

Shouted, "You don't want to argue with me, is it because you know you're guilty? Before knowing you, our Xu Family was fine, look at the state of our Xu Family now, you are the culprit, you know that?"

"Minister Xu, haven't you figured it out yet? The so-called Family has reached its end, whether I'm here or not, the result would be the same. Instead, it's you, who almost pushed the Xu Family into the abyss, how dare you still point fingers at me? Look at the downfall of the Hou Family, do you really think our Xu Family is mightier than the Hou Family?"

Chen Fang stared at Xu Li's face and asked.

Xu Li was suddenly stunned.

He's not a brainless person.

It's just that his father's severe illness made him want to vent.

After a moment of stalemate.

He let go of Chen Fang's collar and said, "I don't want to argue with you, you don't have the right, I want to go in and see my father."

Having said that,

He headed towards the ward to walk in.

Unexpectedly, a few men in black suits at the door immediately stopped him.

"What do you mean by this?"

Xu Li asked.

The two men in black did not answer, their faces expressionless.

Xu Li turned back, looking at Xu Guan.

Xu Guan silently lowered his head and said, "Big brother, dad already instructed, without his command, no one can go in, he asked us to bring Chen Fang here, he wants to see Chen Fang."

"Is dad out of his mind, what's so special about seeing Chen Fang? I want to see dad!"

Xu Li wanted to force his way in.

But the two men in black didn't give him any face, they directly pushed him away.

When he turned back.

Xu Guan, Xu Yan, and Xu Nuo from the Hou Family did not speak up for him.

At that moment.

Xu Li's face turned from angry to unsettled.

He remained silent for a while.

Then flicked his sleeve.

Pointed at the Xu Family's close relatives present, gritting his teeth, and said, "Alright, alright, I see how you all really are, I've seen through all of you, just wait, don't regret it later."

After saying these words.

Xu Li left angrily.

"Hurry up and go in, dad is still waiting for you inside."

Xu Yan said to Chen Fang.

Chen Fang nodded.

Came to the entrance of the ward.

The two men in black who had just stopped Xu Li immediately opened the door to the ward for him.

As the door opened.

A strong smell of disinfectant rushed at him.

Chen Fang steadied his mind and stepped inside, seeing Xu Mao lying on the hospital bed, covered in tubes.

Of course.

The ward wasn't empty.

There were also two middle-aged men wearing masks sitting in the corner, one holding a notebook writing something down, the other holding a DV camera, probably recording the last moments of Old Xu.

Standing beside Old Xu was a doctor.

Constantly monitoring Old Xu's various physiological data.

"Ah Fang is here?"

As he entered.

Xu Mao's eyes were closed.

Chen Fang didn't make any noise.

Yet Xu Mao sensed it.

He opened his weak eyes.

The hand resting outside the blanket moved slightly.

Seeing this.

Chen Fang quickly stepped forward, grasped his hand, and softly said, "Old Xu, I'm here."

Xu Mao nodded in satisfaction.

Then tried to struggle to sit up.

The doctor was quick to react, assisting and helping Old Xu sit up.

At this moment, Xu Mao was emaciated beyond recognition, his eyes sunken, even his lips lacked any color.

His eyes kept opening and closing, his hands trembling slightly, it seemed indeed he was at death's door.

"Ah Fang, I might... be leaving soon... cough cough cough..."

Xu Mao said.

Chen Fang felt a pang in his heart.

Quickly said, "Old Xu, don't say that, once you get through this, it will be okay, medicine is very advanced now, you've seen all sorts of ups and downs, let's rest well, you'll surely recover."

These words.

Made Xu Mao smile.

Even smiling seemed so laborious for him.

"Kid, you've never been one for sweet talk, I can tell you're just humoring me."

"No, Old Xu..."

Chen Fang wanted to comfort him a bit more.

Xu Mao laboriously raised his hand to stop the words he was about to say.

"There isn't much time left, no need for polite talk, I called you here to entrust you with two things."

"Old Xu, please tell me."

Chen Fang replied.

Xu Mao took a few deep breaths.

And said, "The first thing, I am entrusting the Xu Family to you."

These words were like a thunderbolt, making Chen Fang shudder.

Entrust to me?

What does this mean?

"Old Xu... I... rest assured, as long as I can help, I will."

Chen Fang said.

Xu Mao shook his head, saying, "When I say entrust to you, I don't mean to help, but for you to take over the position of Family Head of the Xu Family from now on, in other words, everything concerning the Xu Family will be decided by you, Chen Fang. Can you do that?"

If his first words were shocking,

then these subsequent words were a complete shock.

What kind of identity, what background, what level is he, and what kind of colossal entity the Xu Family is, he's an outsider, and what's more, he has no particularly close relationship with the Xu Family; for Xu Mao to entrust the vast Xu Family to him, either the illness has clouded his mind, or he's dreaming.

"Old Xu, I..."

Chen Fang was momentarily disbelieving.

Xu Mao seemed to see his concerns.

Gripping his hand tightly, he said, "I've already talked to Ah Guan, and he's agreed. On the surface, he's still the spokesperson for the Xu Family, but should his opinion differ from yours, within the Xu Family, he'll follow your decision. From now on, you can freely use the resources of the Xu Family, freely arrange the people of the Xu Family; in short, they will all listen to you."
