Chapter 629 Whatever He Wants âHow could you do this knowing how close our families are, Ouyang Duo?â Nan Xing questioned.
Ouyang Duo burst into laughter. âClose? Hahaha! Friends are meant to be betrayed! Didnât you know that?â
âBut can you really handle a corporation as large as Nanshi?â
âThatâs none of your business. Sign it.â Ouyang Duo pointed at the document again.
âDonât you know itâs a crime to kidnap and hurt people? Do you not fear the law?â Nan Xing asked.
âYouâre still talking about the law at this point? The rules of the world are set by those with power and wealth. If I want Nanshi Corporation, then Iâm getting it. I donât give a d*mn about the law, so quit your daydreaming and just sign the contract.â
Growing impatient with every passing second, Ouyang Duo shoved the pen into Nan Xingâs hand.
âAnd what happens after I sign it?â
âIâll take you back to the Nan residence,â Ouyang Duo answered with a smile.
âYou? Take me back to the Nan residence? Youâre going to kick my grandpa out and seize my house too?â
Ouyang Duo chuckled. âYour family used to stay at Commoner Residence simply because you were the greatest clan in Flower City. But now that you guys are worthless, you donât deserve to live in such a grand mansion anymore.â
I wonât occupy the place by force, of course,â he continued. âIâll buy the deed for a million. You may not be aware, but Iâve already spoken to your grandfather about this, and Iâll be changing the mansionâs name to King Residence.â
Nan Xing spat, âEven the kitchen alone is worth more than a million, you b*stard!â
Ouyang Duo replied, âYou should be thankful that Iâm already offering you one million. What if I decided not to give you a single cent? Itâs not like youâd be able to do anything about it. All right, quit blabbering.
Sign the contract!â
Nan Xing picked up the pen. âSo once I sign it, when will I get my brother back? Youâd better keep to your word and let him go.â
âDonât worry. Nan Chen is no longer a threat to me now that the Nan familyâs lost its power. Iâll release him. I promise.â
Smiling in defeat, Nan Xing penned his signature on the document.
Ouyang Duo held the piece of paper up high as he roared with laughter.
Iâve done it. Iâve finally gotten what I wanted!
He continued to laugh deliriously for a long while.
The heavens would drive a person mad before sending him to his destruction.
At this very moment, Ouyang Duo was beyond insane.
âAll right, your job is complete, so Iâll be taking you back to the Nan residence. Iâll also be bringing this bottle of unfinished liquor to Commoner Residence so I can personally give your grandfather a toast.
Itâs a wonderful day, after all! How could I forget about the old man?â
âThanks, I guess,â Nan Xing replied blandly.
âKeep the document,â Ouyang Duo instructed the lawyer. âI believe you know what to do next.â
âYes, Mr. Ouyang,â the lawyer responded.
âBe more efficient. I want the shares transferred to my name as soon as possible. Get everything done within a weekâs time.â
âUnderstood, sir.â
With that, Ouyang Duo wheeled Nan Xing out of Orchid Club.
The night lights began to illuminate the darkening skies.
Ouyang Duo gazed up at the view of the bustling city.
This whole city belongs to me now. Iâm the ruler of this place!
Feeling like the happiest person in the world, he watched as the bodyguard carry the wheelchair-bound Nan Xing into the minivan and pondered for a moment before deciding to hop in as well.
As the winner, he wanted to travel across the city feeling like a king.
Moreover, it was only natural that having the loser by his side would make him feel even more superior.
Nan Xingâs expression turned cold when he noticed the gloating look on Ouyang Duoâs face.
âWhat are you thinking about, Nan Xing?â the latter asked.
âNothing much.â
âIâm really thrilled today, but I know you must be upset. You probably think I was the one who caused your familyâs downfall.â
Nan Xing remained silent.
âBut thatâs how society works, you know? The strong prey on the weak. Itâs all about the survival of the fittest. Given how many years the Nan family has basked in its glory in Flower City, itâs about time they made way for others. Have you ever wondered why your family turned out this way?â
Ouyang Duo was in such a cheery mood that he couldnât stop talking and needed a way to express all the joy he felt.
Unfortunately, Nan Xing wasnât a very ideal conversation buddy and kept silent most of the time.
âThe reason behind the Nan familyâs downfall is its lack of successors,â Ouyang Duo declared. âThereâs no denying that your grandfather is brilliant, but your father, Nan Zhiyuan, is nothing but trash. Thatâs why your grandfather appointed Nan Chen as the next head of the family instead. Heâs the only one capable enough for the job.â
He concluded, âAfter I took care of him, the Nan family has no one else. This allowed me to step up and take control pretty much right away. So, your familyâs defeat isnât solely because of me. Itâs also due to its own descendants. If I donât replace the Nans today, someone else would do it tomorrow. It was bound to happen sooner or later.â
Nan Xing continued to say nothing.
Seeing that, Ouyang Duo began to grow frustrated. He had said so much, only to receive nothing but silence in response.
It looks like heâs too weak to understand such deep conversations. Forget it. I may as well talk to the geezer later instead.
Commoner Residence wasnât too far from Orchid Club, so it didnât take them long to arrive.
The entrance to the residence was shut tightly, and the butler, Chai Hua, opened the gates personally after hearing the doorbell ring.
To accommodate Nan Xingâs condition, he then asked for the car to be driven straight into the courtyard.
No vehicle was allowed in the Nan residenceâs courtyard. This was a strict house rule that had been upheld ever since the beginning.
Even the Nan family members themselves would park outside the courtyard.
That was because Nan Zhengde wanted to keep the area silent and didnât like the sounds of cars.
Hence, to be allowed to drive into the courtyard that day was certainly out of the ordinary.
Even so, Ouyang Duo didnât think much of it, given that Nan Xing was currently injured.
Upon entering the courtyard, the bodyguard lifted Nan Xing out of the van.
âGet them to drive the car outside. My grandpa doesnât like being bothered by car noises,â said the latter.
âTake the car outside and wait for me there,â Ouyang Duo instructed the bodyguard, who then nodded and drove out.
Then, Ouyang Duo wheeled Nan Xing along Commoner Residence while observing the buildingâs condition and wondering how he would renovate it after becoming its new owner.
It does look nice and all, but Iâd prefer to have it redone in a style that suits my preferences.
âIâve returned with your grandson, Mr. Nan. Letâs have a drink.â
At the mention of having a drink, Ouyang Duo recalled that he had left that bottle of liquor in the car.
Just as he considered giving his bodyguard a call to bring him the bottle, he changed his mind. He reckoned the Nan residence had some good liquor too.
Everything here belongs to me now, anyway, so I can do whatever I want. Iâll have the old man bring out his best liquor, and weâll drink to celebrate my splendid victory over the Nans.
It was an exceptional day for him, and he was determined to celebrate it.
