Nangong Wushuang didn't know what to say; her expression was extremely somber.
She had been a target of assassination.
Furthermore, the only people who could usually get close to her car were her own family. It was impossible for someone she didn't implicitly trust to approach her vehicle, let alone when the car was inspected daily.
She hadn't even noticed anything amiss when she drove it herself.
"What are you thinking about?"
Lin Xiao asked, watching Nangong Wushuang lost in thought beside him.
"Nothing... I just think someone might be unhappy with me as the clan leader," Nangong Wushuang replied, her mood fluctuating.
"Understandable."
Lin Xiao agreed, "If I were from the Nangong family, I wouldn't be happy with you as the clan leader either. After giving up land and paying reparations, where does that leave the family's honor?"
Everyone knew how to add insult to injury. Lin Xiao not only knew how, but he was particularly skilled at it.
"Then let them come find you, the Dragon King, and try? We'll see how much they're willing to compensate," Nangong Wushuang wasn't angered.
No matter who they were, in this situation, who dared to do anything to Lin Xiao? Were they not afraid of their entire clans being implicated?
Lin Xiao spread his hands, "I wouldn't know. Perhaps they should try, and I can generate some revenue."
"Generate revenue..."
Hearing Lin Xiao's suggestion, Nangong Wushuang's lips twitched. His method of generating revenue seemed rather unconventional.
"If you need me to, I can help you investigate who sabotaged it," Lin Xiao said seriously, "For a fee."
"Deal."
Nangong Wushuang nodded without hesitation.
...
The person was found for Nangong Wushuang, and Lin Xiao no longer bothered to interfere. For him, the affairs of the Nangong family and Nangong Wushuang herself were less important than his precious daughter's happiness.
What followed was simple. The Nangong family departed, and all their businesses and networks in Nan Province were handed over to Jiang Tao and Rao Yilong.
Now, in Nan Province, Jiang Tao and Rao Yilong were considered absolute powerhouses.
No one had larger businesses or more influence than these two. Then, the two of them hatched a plan.
Jiang Tao had a son, and Rao Yilong had a daughter. Although they had only just reached adulthood, the two were arranged to be married.
This was a path Lin Xiao had never foreseen.
With this matter completely resolved, Lin Xiao became even more enigmatic in the eyes of the Luo family.
Luo Qinghan finally began to suspect that her husband was indeed the Dragon Country War God. She also did a quick search.
It was indeed Lin Xiao...
Although there was a certain discrepancy in their appearances, she recognized him at a glance. The man now holding Xuan'er and telling her a bedtime story was truly the Dragon Country War God, the Northern Frontier Dragon King.
"Wife, Xuan'er is asleep."
Lin Xiao carefully laid the little girl down and then addressed Luo Qinghan.
"Mm..."
Luo Qinghan quickly responded, "Are you going to see Luo Bing?"
"Yes, after all, he's still a child, can't just leave him like this."
It had been a month since Luo Bing came to their home. From the initial tearful and stubborn rejections to every disciplinary action Lin Xiao took, Luo Bing had now begun to adapt, and many of his bad habits had been largely corrected.
Despite holding many prejudices against the child, Lin Xiao had not treated him any differently.
However, when he entered Luo Bing's bedroom, Luo Bing instinctively turned his back and hid under the covers.
