Lin Bingxuan's appearance was undoubtedly a strong dose of stimulus for Huang Feizhong!

Even with his years of experience and pickiness in the romantic field, upon seeing Lin Bingxuan, he couldn't help but feel intrigued.

Thus, a plan formed in his mind.

According to Huang Feizhong's plan, it was to first kidnap Lin Bingxuan. If Huang Xiadi made trouble, he would then push her out at the right moment, or even better, catch Huang Xiadi's flaw, forcing him to retreat defeated.

More importantly, even if that guy from the airport came looking for trouble, naturally, it would be Huang Xiadi who would deal with him.

In this way, not only could he help his family avert a crisis, but he could also recover his position, making it a brilliantly clever plan.

However, it was now clear that none of this could be executed smoothly, as there was already a setback in the first step of the plan.

"Did He Shen really say that?"

Huang Feizhong anxiously paced back and forth, making the burly man beside him afraid to even breathe, fearing a misstep would bring misfortune upon him.

At this moment, hearing Huang Feizhong's question, the burly man immediately answered, "It's true, young master. Lord He's exact words were that we better not provoke those two people, and he even returned the money!"

"The money was returned?!" Huang Feizhong couldn't help but widen his eyes, realizing the situation was more severe than he thought.

For He Shen, who was notoriously stingy in the Northern Desert and known never to return the money once in his hands, to unexpectedly return the money this time was quite unusual, adding to Huang Feizhong's burden.

Huang Xiadi was arriving soon, yet the indispensable person in the plan was not in position; such a situation made him feel extremely restless.

However, fortunately, there were still two more days until Huang Xiadi's arrival, so it wasn't too late to make adjustments now.

"Send someone immediately..."

However, before the order could be issued, Huang Feizhong's phone rang, displaying his father's name, who was also the current patriarch of the Huang family—Huang Shu.

Answering the call, a sharp voice immediately sounded, "Feizhong, where are you now?"

If one only heard the voice and did not know Huang Shu, they would probably not believe this was a man, yet the tone was incredibly urgent.

"I'm at the hotel now. What's the matter, father?" Huang Feizhong, seeing his plan fail, was obviously in no good mood.

"Phew..."

Over the phone, Huang Shu noticeably breathed a sigh of relief, then said, "Prepare yourself right away; Thirteenth Young Master, Huang Xiadi from the Huang family, will arrive in ten minutes."

"What?!" Huang Feizhong said incredulously, "Did you just say Huang Xiadi will arrive in ten minutes? Wasn't it agreed to be in two days?"

"It's no use talking about that now!" Huang Shu quickly said, "The most urgent task at present is to first stabilize Huang Xiadi."

"Our Huang family's power has grown considerably in recent years, and it seems that this time Huang Feihu has set his sights on us. When you speak with Huang Xiadi, be very careful."

Huang Shu seriously instructed, "Remember, dragging the situation as long as possible, any verbal consent should never be put onto paper, of course, only when absolutely necessary."

"If possible, it's best not to make any verbal promises either." Huang Shu, even though saying this, felt uncertain himself, so he added, "In short, we'll rely entirely on you this time!"

Hanging up the phone, Huang Feizhong clearly felt a heavy burden, as if a mountain weighed upon him, making even his breathing feel labored.

"Young Master, what should we do now?"

The burly man, who hadn't heard Huang Feizhong speak after waiting a while, nervously asked.

"What else can we do?" Huang Feizhong seemed to find a vent for his frustration and roared, "Hurry and gather the people to go with me to welcome the Thirteenth Young Master."

As the burly man reached the door, he couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Thirteenth Young Master?"

"Huang Xiadi!" Huang Feizhong, panting furiously, had no choice but to hurry downstairs, carrying the weight of Huang Shu's words heavily on his shoulders.

In a hurry, they arrived downstairs, where they saw two people coming towards them; one was a skinny yet incredibly proud man, precisely Huang Xiadi whom Huang Feizhong had to greet.

Beside Huang Xiadi, there was an unremarkable-looking man with a dark complexion, accompanying him all along. However, no one dared to underestimate this seemingly ordinary attendant, for someone who could stay by the side of a royal son was clearly not a simple character.

"Young Master Huang, why did you arrive early?" Huang Feizhong, with a full-face smile, approached Huang Xiadi, only to see the latter looking upwards at the hotel's upper floors, as though ignoring everyone in front of him.

Not seeing Huang Xiadi lower his head for a long time, Huang Feizhong could only awkwardly withdraw his hand. Inside, he was filled with resentment; this show of dominance upon their first meeting and the arrogance that bordered on insolence made him want to punch Huang Xiadi's nose crooked.

"Not bad, not bad!"

Huang Xiadi, still with his nostrils facing Huang Feizhong, praised, "It seems handing the hotel over to your Huang family for management was a pretty right choice."

Suppressing his inner displeasure, Huang Feizhong grinned and said, "Thank you, Young Master Huang, for the compliment. We're just..."

But then he saw Huang Xiadi's gaze moved aside, towards the direction of a man and a woman, his eyes glinting green.

Following his gaze, Huang Feizhong couldn't help but be surprised, yet there was also a hint of delight.

Because that man and woman were none other than Xiao Tian and Lin Bingxuan...

"Quickly, invite the beautiful lady to come and have a drink with Young Master Huang!" Huang Feizhong, with a quick turn of his eyes, instructed the burly man beside him.

The burly man felt a shiver in his heart; he had suffered under Xiao Tian before, but at this moment, with Huang Feizhong speaking, he had no room to argue.

Hearing what Huang Feizhong said, it was only then that Huang Xiadi cast his gaze upon him for the first time, yet in his eyes, there was a hint of disregard.

"You are Huang Shu's son, right?" Huang Xiadi snorted coldly from his nostrils, "Why don't I see him around?"

Huang Feizhong's face changed, knowing full well that this was intentional provocation by the opponent. If he showed any dissatisfaction, it would be seized upon to openly suppress the Huang family.

Moreover, Huang Shu had already advised that no matter how much the other party insulted or provoked, they couldn't retaliate, even if they insulted the entire Huang family.

Naturally, while Huang Shu's words might seem exaggerated, the point was clear; no matter what the opponent did, the response of the Huang family should be—endure!

Only by enduring this momentary frustration could the family secure a bigger development!

In fact, the Huang family had no other option but to endure. What else could they do, engage in an all-out war with the Huang family?!

If the Huang family indeed did so, it would be exactly what the Huang family would want.

With the Huang family's prestige and power in the Northern Border, dealing with a Huang family that had barely started would be like a grown man thrashing a babbling infant.
