Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Xu Ke glanced at Wang Huan and Zhao Lei and realized these two guys practically didn’t have a drop of color in their faces.

He really had no idea how many nights they’d been pulling lately; the fact they were still on their feet was practically a miracle.

Xu Ke made a call to Murong Hai, telling him to bring two trusted brothers upstairs.

Before long, Murong Hai came up.

As soon as he saw Murong Hai, Xu Ke went straight to the point.

"These two are new employees I just hired. They’re not feeling too great physically. Take them to the company hospital to get checked out first. If there’s nothing serious, send them home. Make sure they’re safe and sound, or I’ll hold you responsible."

Murong Hai took one look at Wang Huan and could immediately tell this girl had definitely been staying up late these days.

"Kids these days really don’t take their bodies seriously. Burning themselves out like this already... I really don’t know what they’ll be like when they’re old."

Saying that, Murong Hai led the two of them out.

Only the three of them were left in the office now.

Da Bing and Liu Yan were busy discussing work matters.

Xu Ke was having a headache over those bad debts he’d just uncovered.

The documents clearly recorded how much money certain companies had borrowed from their company at a specific time in a specific year.

But the companies marked on there had already been checked; some had gone under, and some had completely changed their identity.

Plenty of the companies still existed, but trying to sort out these accounts now was a huge hassle.

At the very least, with just the file in his hand, he didn’t have enough to go after these companies and reclaim the money.

He was sure his grandfather must have some key piece of information; otherwise, Old Man Xu couldn’t have casually loaned that much money to so many companies back then.

He carefully went through the documents again, but still couldn’t find any relevant clues.

With no other choice, he could only change tack and think about the problem from a different angle.

Could it be that Old Man Xu had run into some kind of trouble back then, forcing him to move these funds into other people’s accounts?

Even though the chances of that were very slim, he couldn’t rule it out.

You have to know that Xu Ke had already dealt with a lot of things; even if something like this was unlikely, that didn’t mean it couldn’t happen.

He firmly believed there were still many things in this world he couldn’t explain, and many issues he couldn’t yet handle.

But people are always full of curiosity about the unknown, and Xu Ke’s curiosity was stronger than most.

Since this matter had landed in his lap today, then no matter what, he was going to get to the bottom of it.

Now that he knew what he needed to focus on for the near future, he decided to hand all the department work on his desk over to Da Bing.

Murong Hai was in charge of the renovation anyway, and as for personnel in the company, he trusted Da Bing very much.

"Da Bing, I’m leaving the department to you for the next few days. Work a bit harder and finalize the staff as soon as you can. I’ve got some things I need to get busy with. If I’m not at the company, you don’t need to try and reach me. As long as you think someone’s okay, then I’m fine with it too."

Xu Ke trusted Da Bing so much he handed over all the authority to him.

In other words, as long as Da Bing felt someone was suitable, it automatically passed on Xu Ke’s side.

Da Bing was slightly stunned; he hadn’t expected Xu Ke to say something like this at a time like now.

The department was at a critical stage, and yet this chairman suddenly had "something urgent" and was about to duck out.

"Xu Ke, that’s pretty low of you. You tricked me over here just to work for you, and now that everything’s about to fall into place, you dump everything on me. Be honest—what are you actually going off to do? Otherwise I’m not cleaning up this mess for you."

Although Xu Ke trusted Da Bing a lot, this was still company business, and more than that, it was his family’s business. He didn’t want outsiders to know.

So he casually came up with a reason to brush it off.

"If it wasn’t urgent, I wouldn’t be doing this. Something happened with my grandfather. His health has never been good, and I just heard from my dad that he’s been hospitalized again, so I need to stay at the hospital and take care of him these next few days."

After listening to Xu Ke, Da Bing silently nodded.

He knew Xu Ke and Old Man Xu had a very good relationship; since his grandfather was sick, then as a grandson, of course Xu Ke had to go.

"Alright, alright. Since you’ve got stuff to deal with, just leave everything to me. When you get back, I promise the department will be in perfect shape."

"President Xu, don’t worry. I’ll definitely keep an eye on Da Bing and cooperate with him to get everything done well."

By this point Liu Yan had fully settled into his role; he was completely treating himself as Da Bing’s girlfriend.

Xu Ke had long seen that these two weren’t simple, and from what Liu Yan just said he could tell they’d already gotten together.

Xu Ke was genuinely surprised; he hadn’t expected Da Bing to really free himself from those painful memories.

As Da Bing’s brother, Xu Ke naturally felt very happy for him.

After all, if Da Bing could be happy, Xu Ke was sincerely glad for him too!

"Alright, alright, I won’t harp on it. I wish you two a long and happy life together. Just find a time to treat me to a meal."

With that, Xu Ke walked out without looking back.

Liu Yan’s face was already as red as an apple.

No matter how slow he was, he could hear what Xu Ke was implying.

"President Xu, when did he find out about us? Was it you who told him?"

Liu Yan puffed up his cheeks and demanded of Da Bing beside him!

Da Bing was just as depressed. When had he ever told Xu Ke about this?

As far as their relationship went, Da Bing had never told anyone.

Let alone telling Xu Ke; he’d never even dropped a hint in front of Xu Ke.

"Trust me, how could I possibly tell him something this important? You told me not to say anything—do you think I’m that stupid?"

Liu Yan did believe Da Bing’s explanation. After all, Xu Ke and Da Bing were close brothers, and even if he had told him, it wasn’t a big deal.

Besides, he was the chairman of Xu Group—having him care about their relationship was practically an honor.

Back then Liu Yan still had a bit of arrogance about him, but ever since he realized there’s always someone better out there, he’d become a lot more low‑key.

Before, he always felt there were some things he could never do, no matter what. But as time went on, he found those things had turned into small potatoes in front of him.

That was when he gradually understood: it’s not that others are so amazing, it’s that as time passes, everyone’s growing.
