Chapter 539: Chapter 542 Love at First Sight_1
"But, on another note, I wonder what happened to Shen Jing for her to end up working as a drinking companion on Crow Feather Island?" Zhang Miao continued.
Su Xiaoxi shrugged, "Who knows? It seems that Shen Jing is reluctant to discuss it."
"Well, it doesn’t really have anything to do with ." Zhang Miao laughed, turned to look at Yang Fei, Gu Xiaorou, and Shen Jing, and teased, "Feifei, Xiaorou, Shen Jing will be sleeping with you tonight. Or else, you could send her to Yang Gang’s room."
The faces of the three won slightly reddened, they exchanged glances, each harboring their own thoughts, and gave faint smiles.
"I will protect Shen Jing, and not let her fall into soone’s clutches!" Yang Fei gathered herself and declared righteously.
Gu Xiaorou chuckled, but said nothing.
As the night deepened, they all retreated to their rooms.
At this mont, about 300 nautical miles northeast of Crow Feather Island, around ten submarines, including a nuclear one, were quietly anchored on the seabed!
In the observation room of the nuclear submarine, a tall, stern-looking, enchantingly handso young man sat in a revolving leather sofa, staring at a monitor on the wall.
This man emanated danger from every pore.
Both n were attractive, but Xiao Haotian and this man had completely different temperants.
Xiao Haotian was like a lead character from a campus romance novel — warm, radiant, and devoted.
On the other hand, this man was like the male lead in a female executive novel — scheming and dangerous.
Whether they were warm-hearted n or cunning and dangerous ones, they all possessed extraordinary charm and were very popular amongst won.
Compared to them, the cunning and dangerous n seed to attract won more, enough to make won fall hopelessly in love.
For n, however, this kind of cunning man was definitely an arch-enemy.

This man was none other than Xiao Shenwei, who Li Qing referred to as the ’demon boy’.
Xiao Shenwei, male, 26 years old, the sa age as Xiao Haotian, the youngest elder in the three hundred years history of the Xiao family, and the leader of their lineage.
In fact, among the many branches of the Xiao family, Xiao Shenwei’s was quite tragic. His parents were attacked and killed soon after Xiao Ling’er was born, and the murderer has yet to be found. After the death of Xiao Shenwei’s parents, the resources of their branch were nearly seized, even the main family participated in the looting. To force Xiao Shenwei, who was not yet seven years old at the ti, to hand over sothing, the main family even forcibly took away his newborn sister, Xiao Ling’er.
In the following 20 years, Xiao Shenwei single-handedly reinstated his nearly extinct branch and beca the most powerful branch among the many forces in the Xiao family.
Throughout this process, Xiao Shenwei’s ruthlessness and cruelty earned him a widely infamous reputation, making him a demon whose na changes color within the Xiao family.

Just then, soone knocked on the door.
"Co in," Xiao Shenwei commanded coldly.
The door opened, and a young man walked in, "Boss, the operation on Crow Feather Island failed."
"What about Xiao Wanqing?"
"It is reported that she’s still alive," The young man respectfully answered.
Xiao Shenwei nodded, "What’s the movent of the Grey family?"
The Grey family, one of the three major families in the Bounty World, is also a colossal entity in the field of private ard forces. Gu Xiaorou’s older half-brother intended to marry her off to the eldest son of the Grey family, a man nad Mayo Grey.
The Grey family is headquartered in Arica, unlike the Xiao family with a foundation of three hundred years, the Grey family is a rising power that has rapidly erged in the past two or three decades. Although the Grey family as a whole is far less powerful than the Xiao family, the Xiao family has too many branches and severe internal fights. If they were to really compete, it wouldn’t necessarily be the Grey family’s match.
Over the years, Grey has been watching for an opportunity to swallow up the Xiao family.
After all, the Xiao family possesses the most formidable private army in the world.
Consisting of thousands of genetically modified individuals, including at least 500 superpower users. Just this power alone is enough to annihilate a small to dium-sized country.
This power is an enormous temptation to any force in the world, including the strongest nations.
Years ago, Australia, the only powerful country in the Australian continent, tried to incorporate the influence of the Xiao family. The offered conditions were extrely generous. If the Xiao family’s force could be utilized for Australia, the Xiao’s would be gifted approximately 500,000 square kiloters of mainland land, the equivalent to 10,000 tis the area of Crow Feather Island!
But in the end, Xiao Yuanshan, representing the Xiao family, rejected this proposal after the examination of the Elder Council.

"According to the intelligence from our frontline reconnaissance team, about eight refurbished surface ships and two submarines of the Grey family are heading to Crow Feather Island," the young man reported.
Xiao Shenwei sneered, "Hmm, they are probably waiting for us to duke it out with the main family, and then reap the benefits of a fisherman. The old man of the Grey family is still as shaless as ever."
"Boss, where does the Grey family get the guts to wage a direct war against the Xiao family?" The young man asked, puzzled.
"Do you feel that the current Xiao family still has any cohesion? In a situation where we all act independently, it’s easiest for the enemy to break us one by one."
Xiao Shenwei paused, then said, "Also, the latest intelligence shows that the Grey family has secretly allied with the Wright family. Although the Wright family is not top-tier, it ranks in the top ten in all of Arica. Even including those hidden world forces, the Wright Family can rank in the top twenty. They are a force that should not be underestimated."
"What? Old Wright of the Wright family is still recuperating on Crow Feather Island. Has the Wright family gone mad?" The young man exclaid.
Xiao Shenwei chuckled coldly, "Old Wright’s power has long been emptied by his eldest and third sons, they don’t care whether Old Wright lives or dies."
At this mont, Xiao Shenwei’s gaze moved to the surveillance screen in the room, his mouth curling into a charming smile, "My radar shows the position of the Grey family’s ships. This radar system is honestly brilliant. Even Arica, which has the world’s strongest military might, probably doesn’t have such an advanced radar. No wonder Dawn of Light has developed so rapidly in recent years. Technology truly is the primary productive force."
"Uh, I heard this radar was developed by the founder of Dawn of Light. He seems to be a genius in scientific research," the young man said.
Xiao Shenwei knocked on the table, his face stern, "The founder of Dawn of Light, I wonder who he is? I am quite curious. Unfortunately, Gong Shuiwei is tight-lipped and won’t give any information."
The young man laughed, "Boss, Gong Shuiwei is a woman who can cause a national disaster, don’t you want to seduce her?"
"Gong Shuiwei, she is not my type. Besides, It seems I have not caught her eye." Xiao Shenwei’s mouth curved into a sly smile, "Maybe she’s a lesbian."
The young man laughed, glanced at Xiao Shenwei and wanted to say sothing but hesitated. Finally, he asked, "Boss, I dare to ask sothing. It’s unlike you to let Shen Jing go. You always destroy what you can’t get, why did you let Miss Shen Jing go?"
This young man must be a trusted aide of Xiao Shenwei’s. Otherwise, no one else would dare to ask such a question.
Xiao Shenwei was silent for a long ti, then said faintly, "I don’t know. Probably I was just out of my mind at that mont. It’s just..."
He paused, sighed, then said, "It’s just that, for that girl, I really couldn’t bring myself to do it."
The young man laughed, "Boss, you probably fell in love with Miss Shen Jing, didn’t you?"
Xiao Shenwei suddenly beca extrely irritable, "Nonsense! It was only recently in Australia that we t for the first ti!"
"Boss, there’s a feeling called love at first sight. Otherwise, why would you forcefully abduct Shen Jing? You found it disgusting when won chased after you in the past. But when you faced Miss Shen Jing, for the first ti, you took the initiative to abduct a woman, moreover, when she rejected you, you didn’t force her..."
"Go! Get out!" Xiao Shenwei’s mood beca increasingly violent.
Seeing this, the young man quickly left.
After the young man left, Xiao Shenwei hamred his fist on the table, "Bullshit! How can I...fall in love with such a plain and commonplace woman?! Besides, I swore: I won’t fall for any woman until I’ve unified the Xiao family. The Xiao family is still in pieces now, how could I possibly have feelings! No, this must be an illusion, I must have done sothing wrong! Ahhh!"
Bang!
Xiao Shenwei threw another punch, directly penetrating the steel forged hatch. He abruptly looked up, his eyes emitting a dangerous charm, "Shen Jing, you stole my heart and think you can run?"
