Free Web NovelChapter 1279: Chapter 1276: Who Is Bi Xia Really
In the past half month, two minor incidents and one major event occurred consecutively in Qing City.
The first incident involved a gang war between the Qinghai Gang, an underground elder group in Qing City, and the Nine Pavilion. They attempted to annex the Nine Pavilion in the absence of the Nine Pavilion Master, Zhan Jiu, but returned in disgrace. The head and third-in-command of the Qinghai Gang disappeared, rumored to have been killed by Zhan Jiu’s gunfire, while the second-in-command, who did not participate in the gang war, managed to survive and reorganized the Qinghai Gang under the Nine Pavilion’s banner.
Since that day, the Nine Pavilion has firmly held its place as the underground leader in Qing City.
The second incident, according to statistics, X Group has seen a daily increase in scale expansion in clothing, real estate, and other sectors, with profits far surpassing those of Zheng Silk, making it the largest enterprise in Qing City. Simultaneously, X Security Company, a subsidiary of X Group, entered the market through collaboration with Zheng Silk, following Qing Ke’s leadership of X Clothing Company and Meng Chi’s leadership of X Real Estate Company, becoming another major support for X Group’s stable foothold.
At the same time, an entertainment club built in cooperation with Dream Drunk, the underground leader from Beijing, was officially completed in Qing City. There was widespread speculation that the partner might be the underground leader of Qing City, the Nine Pavilion. But just as everyone was guessing, the club revealed its name—X.M Entertainment Club.
X?
If M refers to Dream Drunk... then could X be referring to X Group?
Soon, official information about the entertainment club was released. It was jointly built by Dream Drunk and the Nine Pavilion, with X Group being the largest shareholder of the X.M Entertainment Club.
Clearly, these two incidents were not small events for Qing City, but compared to what came next, they seemed relatively minor.
The young man who was originally thought to be just the famous grandson of the Xia Family chef, God Xia, Xia Jingshen, who was originally thought to have gained fame only through a variety show with no other works to his name, who was originally considered a pillar of a private high school known as the ’Emperor,’ stood in the center of the ribbon-cutting stage of the X.M Entertainment Club. His exquisite features carried calmness and composure, unlike a high school student.
What was even more unbelievable was that when representatives were needed from X Group, Dream Drunk, and the Nine Pavilion to cut the ribbon together, only two people appeared. One was Han Xuan, the current representative of Dream Drunk in Qing City, and the other was Bi Xia, dressed in a dark blue suit.
While everyone was confused and amazed, they heard Han Xuan say, "Mr. Wu is still tied up in Beijing and couldn’t make it, so she specifically asked me to represent her. She said that with your relationship, she would be willing to help with the club without compensation."
The young man smiled calmly, "She knows that no matter how good our relationship is, I, Bi Xia, won’t take advantage of a brother just like that. Besides, I’ve already played the role of a mother to her twice, so she can’t expect to be my child for nothing, can she?"
Knowing that Bi Xia had an extremely close relationship with Chu Wu, Han Xuan smiled, "By the way, should I address you as President Bi of X Group, or Nine Pavilion Master, Mr. Jiu?"
Bi Xia’s eyes slightly narrowed with a faint smile, "You are Xiao Wu’s brother, so you’re my brother as well, no need to bother with those titles. Just call me what you call Xiao Wu."
"Alright," Han Xuan did not argue, "then I’ll call you Ninth Young Master."
Their conversation was broadcasted live by the reporters present, and in that moment, Bi Xia’s name resounded throughout Qing City. No one could believe that such a young man turned out to be the leader of the two major powerhouses in Qing City.
That day, not only did Dream Drunk send representatives, but also Chu Hansong from Qing City’s Chu Group personally brought his family of three and Chu Group’s high-level executives to the entertainment club. Zheng Wanruo, the daughter of Elder Zheng and current head of Zheng Silk, also led Zheng Silk’s upper management to attend, as well as various companies, enterprises, and even Li Lin from the Green Dragon Gang came to the entertainment club to cut the ribbon and offer congratulations.
Now, almost everyone understood why Bi Xia had kept his identity secret before, and why he decided to reveal it now. It was simply because now, Bi Xia had the power to protect himself and everyone else. He could be open because the one standing at the top of Qing City was named Bi Xia.
On the same day, another piece of news caught everyone’s attention—
The missing chef god returned to Beijing, reunited with his daughter at the airport.
Beijing Airport
From the moment he stepped off the plane and entered Beijing Airport, Xia Jingshen couldn’t stop feeling nervous. The hand holding the cane was shaking uncontrollably, while his other hand clutched Xia Nian’s arm tightly, "Nianzi, do you think Ashi would hate me when she sees me, after all these years..."
"Alright, dad, stop thinking so much," Xia Nian smiled helplessly, "Ashi probably won’t be as you think, you were forced into it, after all, weren’t you?"
