Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chapter 334: Chapter 238: Punishment Descends (4000 Words, Begging for Subscriptions)

Yang Xiulu, who stands 191 centimeters tall, turned twenty-seven this year; he is one of the five heirs of the Yang family in Capital City, one of the eight great families. Above him are three older brothers, followed by a younger brother and a sister. In terms of being doted on, the youngest sister, Yang Duoer, is the darling of the family. As for individual capabilities, the second brother, who holds the position of deputy general manager in the family’s conglomerate, is the one with the best business acumen.

Unless something unexpected happens, ten to twenty years from now the future Family Head of the Yang family should be the second brother. He and his eldest and third brother, as well as their youngest brother, will at most only receive a small portion of the Yang family’s fringe benefits.

Of course, this is an internal family matter, and it’s enough that family members know it. To outsiders, he is still an heir to the Yang family, the young master of the Yang family with billions in assets!

So within his circle, he is the leader of all, the backbone of everyone!

Only now, those minions who used to treat him with great respect are looking at him with subtle shifts in their eyes. Yang Xiulu can see the hesitation and indecision in their eyes, and a growing distrust is becoming more and more intense.

Even those infatuated girls who used to have stars in their eyes for him are now darting evasive glances.

Yang Xiulu knows he can’t wait any longer. The other side has already started taking action comprehensively, including that recently recognized Prince Debei, including those two female CEOs worth hundreds of billions, and even the Four Young Masters of Modu, with whom he had little to no interaction before, have now each made their move!

He focused his gaze on the youth on the opposite side, who, judging by his looks, should be younger than himself. At that moment, a tinge of regret suddenly flashed through Yang Xiulu’s heart. This conflict really had nothing to do with him; if he hadn’t been so tough just now, or if he had earlier made that Fei family kid apologize, perhaps he wouldn’t be in such an awkward and passive situation now!@@novelbin@@

Taking a deep breath, Yang Xiulu took out his cell phone!

Sitting and waiting for disaster was not in his nature; he was the fourth in line of the Yang family, the fourth successor, and even in Capital City, he had his own standing. He wouldn’t allow himself to capsize in a gutter!

He dialed a number and then waited patiently. Half a minute later, when the call connected and a hearty laugh came through, Yang Xiulu was curt, saying directly:

“Hongda, I’m afraid I have to trouble you this time!”

After taking another deep breath, Yang Xiulu brushed off the cold air about him, maintaining a steady demeanor, though his tone had a hint of helplessness.

The call was to Li Hongda, the young master of the Li family from Jiangnan, who, like a young master of one of Hua Country’s eight great families, had some interactions with Yang Xiulu in the past. The other had once invited him to form a rock band. Yang Xiulu knew this Li family young master enjoyed music, but he did not, so he had bluntly refused when he was invited. Now, needing the other’s help, he uncharacteristically lowered his tone!

“Hongda, do you have any connection with Prince Ben Hesed from Debei? Help me check… I actually don’t have any quarrel with this Prince Debei; it’s all misunderstandings. See if you can mediate in this matter. Once it’s settled, I will join your band as the lead singer!… My word is my bond!”

After hanging up the phone, Yang Xiulu did not relax. He hesitated for a long while before dialing a second number.

This call was to his second brother, Yang Jianguo. Although their relationship wasn’t very close due to the rivalry for succession in the family, they were still brothers by blood. He made this call mainly to inquire about the situation at home.

The other party was Prince Debei, the future heir to Debei—he couldn’t be careless!

Yang Xiulu did not directly ask about the situation at home, but instead beat around the bush for a while. Moments later, his phone rang, ending the conversation with his second brother. But before he could be at ease, upon opening a text message, he discovered it was from Li Hongda, who had simply sent a few lines of text:

“Brother Yang, it seems that you and our band are not destined to be, I just made a call, just mentioned Yang family and got a scolding from the old man. The elder warned me not to interfere in this affair.

As brothers, I’ll give you a heads up. Our Li family has investments worth hundreds of billions in Debei, and this Prince of Debei can be said to control our family’s lifeline. It seems like he convinced our family elder, and this time the elder himself will make a move! Be careful!”

Yang Xiulu’s hand trembled, nearly dropping the phone to the ground.

Li Xiaoyao, the Li family elder, was on the same level as his father, Yang Tianxia.

These were both the true helmsmen of the Li and Yang families, powerful figures whose words were as good as gold, and for Li Xiaoyao to personally interfere on behalf of a junior…

It was absolutely unimaginable!

Swallowing hard, just as Yang Xiulu’s complexion paled, his phone vibrated again. He shifted his gaze to the caller ID display.

The screen flashed with the words ‘Yang Tianxia’!

…

The moves of the Prince of Debei were swift; using the investments of the Li family in Debei worth 120 billion as leverage and promising future good relations with the Li family as a favor, he rapidly persuaded Li Xiaoyao to take action!

If he were going up against Yang family’s second son, there might be some difficulties, after all, Yang’s second son was being groomed as the future heir of the entire Yang family.
