While the six men , Xi Chongkun and Li Jungah were shocked by Xi Fang's decision , a chill ran down Luo Youyou and Xi Chonglin's spine. What did their son just said ?! How could he say something like that so casually ?

This time , Xi Chonglin rushed towards Xi Fang worriedly ,"Fang... you need to trust me. I had no involvement in that incident years ago. Just let me explain , son."

Xi Fang let out a cold chuckle before he looked straight into his father's eyes ,"And why do you think I would believe your explanation ? Moreover , you really think that this is all about grandpa and grandma's death ?!

"I wasn't as close to them as brother was in the first place. So obviously , I wasn't as hurt as he was. But have you ever thought of the pain he went through when he saw them dying in front of his own eyes ? He was running around the streets asking for a god damned phone to call for an ambulance that night , Mr. Xi ! A fifteen year old boy was managing the cremation ceremony of his grandparents while the family elders were fighting for a meaningless business inheritance.

"For god's sake , he was a child with Autism ! Among all of us , he deserved the highest amount of care , concern , attention and love. But unfortunately , that had never been his destiny. All he got was ignorance , pain , loneliness and struggles. He never expressed his feelings to any of you before because he was afraid that his words would hurt you. But that was where he was wrong. You deserve these insults and confrontations !

"I hate you both. I hate you to the core. Just leave me alone. Don't interfere in my life again and please stay away from me forever."

When Luo Youyou saw the distance between her and Xi Fang drifting apart even further , she couldn't help but yell at him desperately ,"Brother...brother....brother ! Just what has this Yuan done to make you so possessive of him ?! You are willing to leave your own parents for him ? Who the hell is he ? God ?!"

The young man turned around to look at the motionless Xi Yuan lying on the cold bed as tears slipped down the corner of his eyes ,"He is more important than any God to me , Mrs. Xi. Only if you both knew what he had done for me in the past.... You would've never pushed me to compete with him over the position of CEO."

"What do you mean ? What did he do for you ?", Xi Chongkun asked worriedly.

The entire world knew that the Xi siblings shared a pretty harmonious relationship among themselves. But compared to Xi Ying and Xi Wei , Xi Fang was more closer to Xi Yuan. Especially after the Xi trio returned back from their boarding schools to live permanently with their family , the bond between Xi Yuan and Xi Fang had strengthened even more. They just never imagined that there could've been some incident behind that...

Xi Ying rushed towards Xi Fang and looked at her twin with concern ,"Are you sure about this ?"

The man took a deep breath before he glanced at Su Rogguang ,"When you were operating upon him , you must've noticed a wound across his back. Right ?"

After thinking for few seconds , Su Rogguang nodded his head in admittance.

"Well...He got that because of me. Ten months after I returned back to Country X , I was kidnapped. Brother was injured in order to save me.", Xi Fang said as he wiped his tears.

"What ?! You were kidnapped ? Why didn't you told me ?", Luo Youyou grabbed her son's shoulder anxiously.

The man shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly ,"As if you cared... My parents and uncle , auntie were busy in a world-renowned business summit at that time , as far as I remember. So did the four of us even mattered ?"

"Fang..."

"Please , Mrs. Xi. Don't play the motherhood card with me. I still remember how scared I was at that time. I was just twelve and brother was sixteen. The kidnappers were sent by our business rivals. They intended to sell me to a human trafficking gang. But brother had already planted GPS tracker inside my shoes. As soon as he reached the location along with police personnel , the entire place was a mess. Amid the chaos , one of the kidnapper was about to slit my throat. That was when brother shielded me and took the attack on himself. He had lost a lot of blood at that time. Doctors even said that it could've costed us his life if he was any late for the treatment. But even after staying unconscious for three continuous days , his first concern was my well-being when he woke up.

"So how is he any less than the almighty God for me ? My life is his present to me. I owe my existence to him. Then how can I compete over inheritance with him ? How can I replace him ? How can I be so insensitive and ungrateful to him ? Most importantly , there would've been no Xi Fang without the sacrifices of Xi Yuan in the first place.", Xi Fang said before he turned around and knelt down in front of his to be sister-in-law.

"I know that I am troubling you a lot , Xiao Xinghe. You already have to take care of Country X's security and Rong empire altogether. And now , Xi Corporations. But I really cannot..."

Rong Xinghe smiled warmly at the man before she patted his right shoulder firmly ,"Don't worry. My brothers will handle Rong Corps. And William will take care of Youth Team NGO. I will be simply managing Xi empire and the nation's military this time. Yuan would never want you to force yourself into any decision. So take your time , Fang.

"But I will need your assistance in the company. Other than Yuan , can you make an exception for me ? I can't trust anyone else."

Xi Fang looked at Xi Yuan before reverting his attention back at the lady in front of him ,"You and brother are not different , sister-in-law. For me , the only person who can replace a King is his Queen. And you were born to bear that crown , sister-in-law. Xi empire officially welcomes their new CEO."
