were chatting merrily as if last night's drinking session had brought them closer.In reality, they all knew that their ability to socialize was entirely due to Xiao Yu; otherwise, with Zhong Tao’s ar...Chapter 123: Relaying a Message
The car was slowly driving out of the villa complex, and Fangyuan couldn't help but sigh as he saw Xiao Yu looking at the haunted villa. "When news of ghosts haunting these villas spread around, the residents all wanted to move out. Jin Xianglin, the General Manager, had initially agreed with their decision and was willing to take a loss on the investment here, but Mr. Xiao wouldn't have it. He moved in himself and reassured those residents, especially as his residence is one of the ones closest to that haunted villa!"
"Oh, what does this Jin do" Xiao Yu felt somewhat familiar with the name Jin Xianglin and thus asked.
"Jin Xianglin is the boss of Wancheng International. He's no ordinary person; he took over Wancheng International after his father’s death and in just a few short years, doubled the company's scale! In the U.S. financial circle, he's considered an outstanding figure!" Fangyuan sighed, with a bitter and sour expression.

Hearing Fangyuan's words, Xiao Yu nodded in realization. No wonder I felt familiar with Jin Xianglin’s name! So that old ghost's message hasn't been delivered yet!
"General Manager Fang, pull over!" Thinking of his obligation to others, Xiao Yu decided it would be best to inform him immediately and save himself the hassle later on.
Xiao Yu thought quietly for a moment. He always felt that he owed Fangyuan something; today he wanted to return the favor by helping him, but unexpectedly failed to do so. Suddenly, Xiao Yu realized this might present an opportunity for Fangyuan. So, he leaned over and whispered something in Fangyuan's ear.
Hearing what Xiao Yu said, Fangyuan looked astonished and doubtful, asking: "Little Brother Xiao, is it true His father has been dead for several years now; please don't hurt me!"
"Haha, why would I harm you Anyway, you're just relaying a message, so there shouldn’t be any problem. But if it's true... well, you decide! If you don’t go, then I will!" Xiao Yu chuckled and said.
Fangyuan held onto the steering wheel for a moment in thought before finally hitting it with his hand and turning the car around to head back.
The car drove back to Jin Xianglin's villa complex, and Fangyuan got out of the car to ring the doorbell. Soon after, Xiao Jian appeared at the entrance with a gloomy face, saying: "What are you here for again Why can't I get rid of you"
"I'm not talking to you; I want to speak to General Manager Jin—just one sentence!" Fangyuan, having made up his mind, naturally gave Xiao Jian a cold look.
"Haha, Manager Fang, I'm sorry, my uncle-in-law is not receiving visitors right now!" Xiao Jian looked at Fang Yuan with disdain and arrogantly said. After that, he ignored Fang Yuan and walked into the house.
"Mr. Jin, Mr. Jin... I need to talk to you about something!" When Fang Yuan saw that even the door was closed by Xiao Jian, he shouted loudly.
Halfway through his walk, upon hearing Fang Yuan's shout, Xiao Jian looked grim; he didn't expect Fang Yuan to do this! He turned around and walked back towards the front gate. Just as Xiao Jian took a few steps, two people came out from the villa entrance—Jin Xianglin and Xiao Jingru.
Their expressions were not pleasant. When they reached the door and saw Xiao Jian, Jin Xianglin asked: "Xiao Jian, what's going on Why is it so noisy" The news that Jin Xianglin and Xiao Jingru received from the two masters was not good, hence their extremely unpleasant faces.
"Auntie, Manager Fang wants to see my uncle-in-law. I told him that my uncle-in-law has no time today and asked him to come tomorrow, but he wouldn't listen and started shouting!" Xiao Jian said in a pitiful tone upon hearing what Jin Xianglin and Xiao Jingru had said.
"Manager Fang Tell him that neither I nor Old Jin will be receiving visitors today. We'll talk about it tomorrow!" Neither of them wanted to see anyone at the moment; their daughter's matter already made them anxious and clueless. After saying this, they walked into the house.
At the front gate, when Fang Yuan saw Jin Xianglin and Xiao Jingru come out, he thought that they would let him in! However, to his surprise, after exchanging a few words with Xiao Jian, both of them went back inside.
Fang Yuan felt regretful as he watched the two people walking away. He really shouldn't have listened to Xiao Yu's advice! Now not only did he fail to meet anyone, but he also left a bad impression on them.
Thinking about this, Fang Yuan couldn't help feeling resentful; even if they had a bad impression of him now, the boss might fire him out of annoyance. But there was no chance for him to explain himself. With this thought in mind, he gritted his teeth and shouted at Jin Xianglin and Xiao Jingru who were about to enter: "Mr. Jin, your father said that when you encounter insurmountable difficulties, you should open the safety deposit box of the Swiss Bank!"
Fang Yuan didn't look back after shouting; he got into his car and drove away. As Fang Yuan drove, he was quite anxious. He could only leave it to fate whether this would be good or bad.
Jin Xianglin and Xiao Jingru turned around just as they were about to enter the house when they heard Fang Yuan's shout. Xiao Jingru didn't mind much, but Jin Xianglin stopped in his tracks with a shocked expression upon hearing it, turning back blankly only to find no trace of Fang Yuan at the door.
Jin Xianglin immediately lost his composure as an executive and hurriedly ran out of the house. He opened the front gate and looked outside but saw nothing.
Upon seeing Jinxialin anxiously rushing out, Xiao Jingru was quite surprised. She had never seen Jinxialin act this way before, not even when rumors about ghosts in the Dongyuan villa she invested in were circulating. Jinxialin always maintained a smile during those times, so why would he be acting like this today
Seeing no one at the door, Jinxialin walked back with disappointment etched on his face. Seeing Jinxialin’s demeanor, Xiao Jingru quickened her steps and asked, "Old Jin, what's going on What happened"
"Yeah! Uncle-in-law, those two scrawny guys just want some money to spend. Don’t pay them any mind!" Upon seeing Jinxialin's expression, Xiao Jian felt annoyed and said this.
“Shut up!” Hearing these words, Jinxialin’s already bad mood turned even more gloomy as he angrily shouted at Xiao Jian.
"Jingru, call the security guard immediately to stop Manager Fang's car. Hurry!" As Xiao Jingru walked over, Jinxialin said anxiously with a grave expression.
Jinxialin didn’t expect to hear such words; he had thought his father was joking at that time and didn’t think anyone would actually come with those words. Although Fangyuan shouted them, Jinxialin did not believe the important person in question was him. Fangyuan had been here many times before, and if it were him, considering his character, he wouldn't have waited until now to say anything. If not Fangyuan, could it be… that young doctor
"I’ve already instructed the security guard at the entrance to stop Manager Fang when they see him," Xiao Jingru said as she walked out of the room.
“You go and accompany the two masters first; I’ll head over there in a moment!” At this point, Jinxialin had regained his calmness and told Xiao Jingru. After saying that, he started the car and drove toward the entrance gate.
"Auntie, what’s going on" Xiao Jian asked as he walked over with a grim expression.
“I don’t know,” Xiao Jingru shook her head in confusion.
After that, she went back into the room. Her daughter was still inside. She hoped the two masters had come up with some good solution and that her daughter would get better soon. But who could possibly hold such a grudge against her family
Fangyuan drove his car, slightly regretful but without any resentment towards Xiao Yuh. This decision was made after careful consideration, and he regretted not going into the villa to talk with Jinxialin personally; he wasn’t sure if Jinxialin had even heard that shout.
The security guards at the entrance of Fangyuan's car were all familiar. As soon as Fangyuan approached the door, he was stopped by them. Five or six security guards came out from their duty room, each holding a rubber baton and looking at Fangyuan with suspicion. Fangyuan then put on his manager's demeanor and said, "What’s going on Open the door immediately!"
"Sorry, Mr. Fang! Xiao Zong just called to instruct us to stop your car; we're just following orders!" One of them, who seemed like the security captain, explained.
After saying that, this man gestured to the other guards, who formed a circle around Fangyuan’s car with their batons at hand, staring suspiciously at Fangyuan and Xiao Yu inside the vehicle.
Fangyuan wanted to get out of the car upon seeing such an imposing scene but was stopped by the captain pressing his baton against the door. "Don’t move! Stay in the car until we receive further instructions!"
Both Fangyuan and Xiao Yu inside the car were puzzled. What’s going on here It's just a message for his father!
A car then sped up from Jin Family’s villa direction, braking abruptly at the entrance.
Jin Xianglin opened the door to get out, visibly relieved upon seeing Fangyuan and others' parked cars. This was the last legacy left by his father; although it wasn't clear what difference this Doctor Xiao made, he trusted his father’s judgment.
Seeing the guards surrounding Fangyuan's car with such vigilance, Jin Xianglin felt anxious too, hurried over and instructed, "That's all for you guys. You can go back."
The security guards initially thought Fangyuan had somehow offended Xiao Zong but realized they were mistaken when seeing Jin Xianglin get off the car. The captain nodded to Fangyuan with a flattery tone saying, "Mr. Fang, it’s our duty; please don’t blame us," before leading them back into the duty room.
Fangyuan and Xiao Yu in the car were surprised by Jin Xianglin's arrival. Especially Fangyuan, who was so excited he tried to open the door himself but failed twice until Xiao Yu helped him.
Fangyuan nodded gratefully at Xiao Yu before stepping out of the car and walking towards Jin Xianglin.t at a loss. These people were all his brothers; they came out to have fun, so he couldn't dampen their spirits. Moreover, even the sister-in-law he met for the first time had joined in the teasing, s...
