Chapter 1361: 1355 Black-Robed Man

1355 Black-Robed Man

Xuan Sheng nodded. “Don’t worry, I definitely won’t look for you if anything happens.”

Shen Xiu sighed softly in his heart and went to help Xuan Sheng prepare the medicine he needed to go out.

In the office, Xuan Sheng looked at the lights downstairs and thought of when his life was on the line.

Actually, at that time, he did not have much desire to live.

Sometimes, when he thought about it, he did not know what meaning there was in living his life. It was as if his death would not affect anyone’s life.

Thinking of this, Xuan Sheng felt that there was nothing wrong with lying on the bed.

However, in the chaotic darkness, hearing Xia Wanyuan’s voice, Xuan Sheng seemed to have grabbed that light again.

Xuan Sheng sighed softly. “I originally treated you as prey when I returned to China. Now, I’m begging for life and death for my prey.”

At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Xuan Sheng pulled himself out of his chaotic thoughts. “Come in.”

The assistant walked in and placed a document in front of Xuan Sheng. “CEO Xuan, take a look. This is what we found at the accident scene.”

Xuan Sheng flipped it open. “Is it related to Xuan Li?”

“We’re not sure if it’s related to Xuan Li for the time being, but we did find someone on Xuan Li’s side at the scene of the accident.”

“Continue to watch. Don’t alert the enemy.”

“Okay.” The assistant continued to ask about work. “There’s a meeting at the company tomorrow.”

“I’m not going.” Xuan Sheng left the window and walked back to the desk to sit down. “I’m going to Linxi tomorrow. Pack up and come with me.”

“… Okay.” The assistant had long expected this.

Continent O. This night was a sleepless night for the entire Continent O.

That was because that night, the Cape family successfully changed owners.

Under the witness of the elders of the family, the green ring that symbolized the power of the family head was successfully worn by An Luo.

“An Luo, the Cape family has prospered in your brother’s hands. I hope you won’t let your brother down.” The Great Elder looked at An Luo lovingly. “He handed the family to you. You have to lead this family well.”

Growing up under the protection of An Lin, An Luo usually looked obstinate.

However, after An Lin’s disappearance, the current An Luo seemed to have grown overnight. His blue eyes were firm. “I will listen to my brother.”

“Okay.” The Great Elder nodded at An Luo before returning to his seat.

Under everyone’s witness, An Luo sat on the seat that symbolized the highest power of the Cape family.

The seat was placed high in the sky. An Luo sat on it and quietly swept his gaze across the people standing below.

He suddenly felt lonely at the top.

In the past, when he followed An Lin, An Luo always felt that An Lin was very impressive.

In the young An Luo’s opinion, it was a rather amazing thing to be able to call the shots from the highest seat of power.

However, at this moment, An Luo sat on it and felt a heavy shackle wrap around him.

Sitting here, he bore the responsibility of the entire family.

Once something happened to him, countless people behind him would be injured.

An Luo suddenly understood An Lin, but since he had promised An Lin, An Luo had never thought of retreating. He looked at the representatives of the family in front of him.

“I will carry on the wishes of the previous head of the family and do my best to lead the entire Cape family to better days.”

In the depths of the castle, looking at An Luo, who was wearing the family head’s thumb ring in the camera, a hint of relief appeared in An Lin’s eyes.

“Little Young Master was brought up by you after all.” The butler was also quite relieved. “I originally thought that Little Young Master was still a child, but in the blink of an eye, he became a person who can bear the heavy burden of the entire family.”

The relief in An Lin’s eyes dissipated and he began to feel a little helpless. “If possible, I hope that he will always be the ignorant child behind me.”

He had sat in that position before, so he naturally knew how heavy the responsibility was.

As long as he could still hold on, he would not let An Luo become like that.

“Young Master.” Looking at An Lin, the butler sighed. “Don’t say that. Didn’t you become like this for our Cape family? Young Master An Luo will understand your painstaking efforts.”

An Lin was already extremely thin and his face was very pale. He coughed lightly, and the blood vessels on his neck were clearly visible. “Alright, after the ceremony, An Luo will definitely come to my side. Go out and block him.”

“Mm.” The butler covered An Lin with the blanket and walked out.

The ward fell silent. An Lin looked out of the window.

The flowers in the garden were extremely flourishing, but in An Lin’s eyes, there was no life.

Looking at these colorful flowers, An Lin sighed softly.

If he could exchange himself for An Luo’s safety in the future, everything he had done would be worth it.

Just as An Lin was deep in thought, the ward door was pushed open and a man in a black robe walked in.

“Do you regret it?” The man spoke with a hoarse voice.

“I don’t regret it.” An Lin shook his head. “When I chose to make a deal with you back then, I already expected this day to come.”

More than ten years ago, An Luo and An Lin were expelled from the Cape family. An Lin brought An Luo to wander the streets. At that time, the two of them did not even have a chance to eat their fill.

As he had been running and hiding for a long time, An Luo, who had been weak for a long time, finally could not resist and fell sick.

An Lin brought him to all the major hospitals, but the Cape family had already given a death order not to let anyone help An Lin and the other two.

Furthermore, An Lin did not have money and An Luo’s illness was quite serious. No hospital was willing to take them in.

Just as An Luo was on his last breath, the black-robed man appeared.

He told An Lin that as long as An Lin was willing to help him do something, he could treat An Luo and let An Lin successfully take back the Cape family.

An Lin, who was at his wits’ end, had no choice but to agree to the black-robed man.

Hence, after succeeding in what the black-robed man had instructed him, the black-robed man fulfilled his promise.

Not only did he let An Luo’s body recover, but he also gave An Lin a large amount of wealth, giving An Lin the first starting capital. He plotted step by step and finally successfully snatched the Cape family back.

However, everything had a price.

What the black-robed man had asked him to do back then finally began to backfire after so long. He could feel his life constantly flowing away.

“Ha.” The black-robed man chuckled. “It’s good that you don’t regret it. Your illness is basically hopeless. I still need you to help me do something. After doing it, I can give you something that can guarantee your brother’s safety for the rest of his life.”
