Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One
Chapter 213 - 93: I’m Crooked—How Straight Are You?
Xu Zeqing couldn’t find a reason to defend himself this time.
"Hmm, you’re just a restless scoundrel."
Xu Qingnian said sharply, "You’ve had enough of the rich food, now you want to try some simple greens and porridge. You find the greens and porridge bland and tasteless, and then go back to your rich food. When the meat gets old and stale, you can’t help but look for fresher meat."
"Simply put, you’re trash, you’re bad. You deserve this outcome! If you weren’t my flesh and blood, I’d write you into a book, cursing you so you’d never recover even in your next life."
Being insulted so sharply by his father, Xu Zeqing’s self-esteem was somewhat hurt.
He retorted to Xu Qingnian, "No matter how much you curse me, you still gladly accepted the existence of my illegitimate child? Dad, I’m crooked, how upright are you?"
This time, Xu Qingnian frowned silently.
After a brief silence, Xu Qingnian said, "Call that child, let him come back for a meal. Since he’s a child of the Xu family, he should acknowledge his roots."
He added, "While I’m still alive, take out the genealogy book and write his name in it."
Hearing this, Xu Zeqing sneered, "Our family updates the genealogy every thirty years, even Xu Xingguang’s name isn’t in it yet. No wonder Xu Xingguang wanted to send you back."
Xu Qingnian’s old face darkened, but he didn’t find anything wrong with that. "He’s the incense of my Xu family, he must be written in."
Xu Zeqing wasn’t interested in arguing with him, and while taking out his phone, he went outside to call You Jiaoyang.
You Jiaoyang answered his call.
After listening to Xu Zeqing, You Jiaoyang replied, "I was never surnamed Xu, and I won’t be surnamed Xu in the future. I’m a Xia Country native, my name is already registered with the Xia Country Alliance Government’s resident records."
"Please tell Mr. Xu, the threshold for the Xu family genealogy is too high, Jiaoyang isn’t qualified."
After saying this, You Jiaoyang hung up the phone.
Xu Zeqing guessed You Jiaoyang wouldn’t want to acknowledge his roots, but he didn’t expect him to be so resistant.
Xu Zeqing relayed You Jiaoyang’s original words to Xu Qingnian, but Xu Qingnian wasn’t angry upon hearing it. He merely said, "Whether he wants to or not, his existence makes him a seed of the Xu family."
Xu Qingnian stared at the passbook on his chest and said to Xu Zeqing, "My passbook is in the pocket near my chest. You take it to Jiaoyang."
Hearing this, Xu Zeqing sneered and mocked Xu Qingnian, "You’ve lived in Cangshan Town for so long, why didn’t you give the passbook to Xu Xingguang? Didn’t you say you’d give your inheritance to Xu Xingguang after you die?"
Xu Qingnian said, "Xingguang is a girl and has no expenses. Jiaoyang will start a family and business, and will need money in the future. If I tell you to go, then go."
"You’re biased, so you have more excuses." Xu Zeqing took out the passbook from Xu Qingnian’s chest pocket and suddenly said, "I suddenly feel Xu Xingguang is quite pitiful too."
She was good to Xu Qingnian in every way, yet she couldn’t compare to the word ’incense.’
Xu Qingnian knew he was wrong, yet he couldn’t bear to leave all his money to Xu Xingguang.
Xu Xingguang was very good, but she would eventually get married.
Once married, she’d become someone else’s wife.
He couldn’t bear to split Xu family’s assets with Xu Xingguang.
Xu Zeqing was about to go to the Yujiang City Alliance Office to find You Jiaoyang when his phone rang from his pocket.
He pulled out his phone and glanced casually, seeing the caller was Hong Ruhai, he was suddenly delighted. "Uncle!"
Xu Zeqing somewhat grievance asked, "Uncle, a lot has happened in the Xu family recently, that girl Xu Xingguang caused me to have nothing left."
He looked gloomily at the almost withered roses in the yard and suddenly said, "Uncle, you have a wide network, could you use your connections to help me find a skilled killer?"
Hong Ruhai asked him, "What do you need a killer for?"
Xu Zeqing found Hong Ruhai’s voice sounding weak, so he asked him, "Uncle, are you sick?"
Hong Ruhai said, "I fell down at work yesterday and hurt my back."
"No wonder you haven’t picked up my calls." Xu Zeqing didn’t forget to show concern for Hong Ruhai, "Uncle, is your health okay? Is it nothing serious?"
Hong Ruhai said, "Not a big problem. What do you want the killer for?"
Xu Zeqing clenched his fists and said venomously, "That girl Xu Xingguang caused me to have nothing, I absolutely can’t let her go."
"She has a connection with that Xiahou family’s little prince, I have no way to touch her. Can you help me find a killer, create an accident, and kill her for me. I think giving her a fate of falling into the river and dying would be perfect."
Xu Zeqing really wanted to kill Xu Xingguang.
Xu Xingguang, to avenge her mother, would absolutely not let him have a good life.
Since this life already has no hope, then if one must die, everyone should die together.
Upon hearing this, there was suddenly no sound from the other end of the phone.
"Uncle?" Xu Zeqing tentatively asked, "Are you listening?"
Hong Ruhai then said, "Come first to Divine Concealment Island, the island’s master plans to build a pet paradise for his beloved pet and is hiring people. I’m doing quite well here now and can recommend you, it shouldn’t be a problem. Come first, we’ll discuss it later."
Hearing this, Xu Zeqing was overjoyed. "Really?"
"Hmm, I’d never lie to you."
Being able to work at Divine Concealment Island, it was a great opportunity.
As long as he can enter Divine Concealment Island and become an employee of the Huo family, what could Xu Xingguang possibly dare to do to provoke him!
Xu Zeqing was ecstatic, "I’ll pack my bags and head over right away!"
"Hmm, hurry, the recruitment ends the day after tomorrow afternoon, you must arrive before then."
"Okay."
After hanging up, Xu Zeqing stuffed the passbook back into Xu Qingnian’s pocket, happily saying, "Uncle found me a job on Divine Concealment Island, dad, the caregiver Xu Xingguang found will take care of you. I’ll go work on Divine Concealment Island first, once things stabilize, I’ll come back to see you."
Xu Qingnian was puzzled, "Ruhai can get you into Divine Concealment Island? Isn’t it said that Divine Concealment Island is particularly hard to get into?"
"Our uncle is capable!" Xu Zeqing had complete trust in Hong Ruhai, Hong Ruhai was his greatest reliance.
This reliance was indeed dependable.
After packing, Xu Zeqing bought a direct flight ticket to Southern Sea City that afternoon, fearing that if he was slow, he wouldn’t be able to arrive at Divine Concealment Island on time.

After calling according to Huo Wen’an’s instructions, Hong Ruhai was stuffed back into the coffin.
As the coffin lid was about to be closed, he heard Huo Wen’an say, "I’ll give you a task."
Zheng Lie held the coffin lid, pausing to close it.
Hong Ruhai hurriedly stuck his head out of the coffin, looking fearfully at the figure on the wheelchair, nervously asking him, "Pilot, what do you need me to do for you?"
Huo Wen’an asked cheerfully, "Ever heard of equivalent exchange?"
Hong Ruhai hesitantly uttered, "Hmm."
Huo Wen’an told him, "Once you enter the island, the more miserable Xu Zeqing becomes, the happier you’ll be." After saying this, Huo Wen’an rolled away on his wheelchair.
