848: Chapter 848: Dead Man, That’s Not Good 848: Chapter 848: Dead Man, That’s Not Good “Mr.

Xiao Kai, what you just said doesn’t really hold, does it?

With Mr.

Bai here, how could we possibly charge you?

Don’t you know that Mr.

Bai can eat at all the Su Family’s hotels and restaurants without spending a single cent?”

Zhang Xu turned around and explained with a bright smile upon hearing Xiao Kai’s words.

After that, Zhang Xu turned and left.

Xiao Kai and the others watched carefully as Zhang Xu walked away with a spring in his step, as if he had stumbled upon the God of Wealth.

“N-No need to pay?”

Xiao Kai stared blankly at the golden membership card in his hand, seemingly doubting his own ears.

“Xiao Kai, what kind of status does one need to dine for free at the Su Family’s grand restaurants?”

Xiao Daguang, seeing Xiao Kai standing there in a daze, couldn’t help but ask with curiosity.

Hearing Xiao Daguang’s question, the rest of the group also looked toward Xiao Kai with puzzled expressions, equally curious about the matter.

“I don’t know what kind of status it would take to dine for free at all of Su Family’s restaurants, but I know one thing: when Young Master Song Wei lent me this card, he mentioned that his father, Song Yinghao, the Family Head of the Song Family, also has a membership card.

Even with that, eating at Su Family’s grand restaurants gets him only a half-price discount!”

Xiao Kai shook his head, then shared this information with a complicated expression.

Sss…

A sharp intake of breath echoed through the private room after hearing Xiao Kai’s words.

In their hearts, everyone grew even more curious about Bai Xiaofan’s identity.

What kind of background must Bai Xiaofan have to command such respect from Song Wei and Zhang Xu?

This man, whom they had initially looked down upon because of a casual remark from Xiao Kai, now appeared shrouded in mystery, unfathomable and deeply intriguing.

However, one thing became clear in everyone’s mind.

As long as Xiao Mei didn’t break up with Bai Xiaofan, the Xiao Family’s future in Binbei City would be much more secure.

At the very least, Young Master Song Wei would likely look out for them to some extent.

Neither Bai Xiaofan nor Xiao Mei had any idea what was running through everyone’s thoughts.

After leaving the hotel, the two of them got into Song Wei’s car, which had been waiting at the entrance for quite some time.

“Mr.

Bai, is there anything I can do for you during your visit to Binbei City this time?”

Inside the car were only Bai Xiaofan, Xiao Mei, and Song Wei, with Song Wei personally driving.

“There’s nothing in particular.

This time, I’m merely accompanying this lovely lady by my side to visit her home.”

Bai Xiaofan understood that Song Wei’s question was probing whether his arrival had to do with seeking revenge or some other motive.

After all, no matter which city he’d visited before, there were always one or two unlucky families in that city.

The car eventually arrived at a residential property, and the three of them stepped out and entered the courtyard.

This place was also part of the Song Family’s holdings, or rather, a private residence bought by Song Wei personally.

With Song Wei’s financial resources and status in Binbei City, he could easily have purchased a luxury mansion, with his pick of the options.

However, he chose this utterly ordinary-looking residence simply to ensure more privacy when discussing certain matters with his people.

“Mr.

Bai, I hope you can help me fight for the position of Family Head in the Song Family!”

After entering the courtyard, Song Wei waved his hand, signaling everyone in the yard to leave.

Then, he clasped his fists and addressed Bai Xiaofan respectfully.

“Why come to me for something like this?

I’m not a fan of all the fighting and killing.”

Hearing Song Wei’s words, Bai Xiaofan responded as such, though he hardly felt surprised in the slightest.

After all, Bai Xiaofan wasn’t dealing with these wealthy family heirs for the first time.

He had long understood that life within prominent families was often fraught with intrigue and schemes.

So, when Song Wei knelt before him, he had already anticipated this development.

“Mr.

Bai, in two days, my father will choose one among my elder brother, my second brother, and me as the future Song Family’s Family Head.

You know how brutal the struggle between heirs in a family can be.

If I fail, while my father is still alive, I might survive.

But if one day my father passes away, I will undoubtedly share the same fate!”

“My second brother has never participated in family affairs.

He spends his days indulging in food, drink, and leisure.

But my elder brother’s power and influence are on par with mine.

Initially, I had some confidence, but not long ago, he brought back a man—someone with formidable strength.

Even the family’s senior protector might not be able to defeat him!”

“I’m concerned he might assassinate me in advance.

If I die, and my second brother remains indifferent to family affairs, no matter how clear it is to my father that Song Feng was responsible, he wouldn’t let the family go leaderless!”

While speaking, Song Wei knelt once again before Bai Xiaofan, his words filled with earnest pleading and utmost deference.

It was clear that the upcoming decision regarding the future Clan Leader was immensely significant to him.

“It’s not as if I know you that well.

Why should I help you fight for your family’s leadership?

Any battle will inevitably result in casualties, and that’s not ideal.”

Bai Xiaofan extended a hand to help Song Wei up, then walked over to a chair and took a seat, assuming a hesitant stance.

Xiao Mei sat down beside Bai Xiaofan and pulled out a bottle of red wine she had stealthily taken from the hotel, sipping it quietly.

Song Wei, listening to Bai Xiaofan’s reply, couldn’t help but feel a bit stunned.

For a moment, he couldn’t make sense of Bai Xiaofan’s intentions.

“Mr.

Bai, if I become the Family Head of the Song Family, the Xiao Family’s standing in Binbei City will also naturally rise.

After all, Xiao Kai can be considered one of my subordinates, and I hold his capabilities in high regard!”

“This card is a small token of my appreciation.

I hope you’ll accept it, Mr.

Bai.

And once I become the Clan Leader of the Song Family, there will be plenty of additional gifts to follow!”

Glancing at Xiao Mei and recalling Xiao Kai and the others in the hotel’s private room, Song Wei offered a beaming smile as he addressed Bai Xiaofan.

“Take this card back.

Instead, I’ll need you to do something for me!”

Bai Xiaofan pushed the card back toward him and then gestured for Song Wei to sit down nearby.

“Please tell me what it is, Mr.

Bai!”

“I’ll help you become the Song Family’s Clan Leader—maybe even elevate your family to the top family across the Northern Provinces—but from this moment on, you and the Song Family must pledge allegiance to me, Bai Xiaofan.”

Bai Xiaofan spoke calmly, his gaze fixed on Song Wei.

In truth, he could easily have bound Song Wei with a master-servant contract, which would have been far more secure.

But Bai Xiaofan found himself uninterested in taking that route.

Instead, he wanted to test something…

human nature!

To achieve greatness, one cannot rely solely on enforcing subjugation through contracts.

Only by mastering the hearts of others could one remain invincible!

And only by doing so could he gain the strength to contend with Wu Lao and even more formidable foes!
