Five minutes later, Tanaka Nanten, wearing a loose Japanese-style robe, arrived outside a serene room.

After taking a deep breath, Tanaka Nanten reached out and gently knocked on the door. With his action, the crisp knocking sound spread throughout the entire corridor.

Following that, a low voice came from inside the room.

"It's Nanten, isn't it? Come in!"

"Yes, big brother!"

Having replied, Tanaka Nanten carefully pushed the door open and entered...

As soon as he entered, Tanaka Nanten caught a whiff of tea aroma and, looking up, he saw his older brother, Tanaka Shoichi, fiddling with his tea set.

"Big brother! I'm here!"

"Uh huh!"

Tanaka Shoichi nodded slightly and said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "I know about Kitano's matter. Condolences to you."

Hearing condolences, he clenched his fists tightly and said in a cold voice, "Big brother, since you know, you should take revenge for him!"

"Of course! He was my nephew; I will naturally seek vengeance for him!"

Tanaka Shoichi didn't think highly of Tanaka Kitano, but he was still willing to avenge him, for blood is thicker than water...

"With your words, big brother, I can rest assured!"

Tanaka Nanten smiled, a genuinely happy smile!

Tanaka Kitano knew that the reason things had turned out this way was all because he had underestimated his opponent, Hu Xiaobei!

But his big brother, Tanaka Shoichi, would not underestimate Hu Xiaobei, so as long as he was willing to step in, Hu Xiaobei would definitely stand no chance.

Seeing Tanaka Nanten smiling happily, Tanaka Shoichi remained silent for a moment and then suddenly spoke, "Come, Nanten, try the tea I've brewed for you! This tea was specially prepared by big brother for you!"

"Thank you, big brother!"

As he said this, Tanaka Nanten looked at the teacup with a complex expression and then stood up, sitting respectfully opposite Tanaka Shoichi...

After sitting down, Tanaka Nanten saw Tanaka Shoichi lift the Purple Sand Pot with a very indifferent demeanor.

Following that, the clear and gentle water poured out from the teapot.

Taking a careful look, Tanaka Nanten suddenly spoke, "Big brother, it seems this Purple Sand Pot is the one you spent tens of millions on last year at the auction!"

"Yes! This tea set was hard-won at an auction after competing with many people."

"It really is it! To be able to drink from it today is truly worth it!"

After saying this, Tanaka Nanten quickly picked up the teacup and downed the tea in one gulp.

After drinking every last drop, Tanaka Nanten carefully put the teacup back down...

Soon, he spoke hoarsely, "Big brother, thank you for taking care of me all this time. After I die, I hope I can be buried with my son."

The tea was poisoned...

Before drinking it, Tanaka Nanten knew the tea was poisoned, but he drank it anyway because he understood he had really messed up this time, and without death to apologize, it wouldn't appease everyone...

Moreover, Tanaka Nanten knew that only with his death would his big brother, Tanaka Shoichi, truly take his revenge seriously.

"That's fine!"

"Then I am relieved!"

With a smile, Tanaka Nanten started to bleed from his facial orifices, and soon, he collapsed onto the ground, breathless...

"This poison is indeed much more potent than Arsenic trioxide!"

As Tanaka Nanten died, Tanaka Shoichi squinted his eyes...

Killing his own younger brother made Tanaka Shoichi feel deep sorrow, but he had to do it because this time, for Kitano's sake, Tanaka Nanten had caused significant losses to the company...

Therefore, he had to pay the price; otherwise, his authority would be greatly challenged in the future.

...

"Hu Xiaobei, the debt between my brother and you, I will settle with you slowly!"

Having said this with such a chilling tone, Tanaka Shoichi gently clapped his hands. In the next second, a man dressed in deep black appeared.

"Master!"

"Mm, take care of this place for me! Also, go and thoroughly investigate Hu Xiaobei. I need all kinds of detailed information on him! From his birth to the present. Understood?"

"Yes!"

The man quickly agreed and cautiously helped Tanaka Nanten to his feet, and soon vanished like a ghost...

After he disappeared, Tanaka Shoichi narrowed his eyes again.

"Hu Xiaobei, ever since I was young, I've seldom felt warmth. Only with my brother did I feel a trace of warmth. Now, he's dead because of you, so we are irreconcilable."

Having said this, Tanaka Shoichi stood up and smashed the priceless Purple Sand Pot in his hand to pieces...

...

At this moment, Hu Xiaobei was unaware that he had offended another big shot. He was currently looking anxiously at the still unconscious Guo Meiyu.

More precisely, he was looking at the dozen or so silver needles piercing her smooth abdomen.

Just now, Hu Xiaobei had used Nine Wood True Qi to direct all the toxins to her lower abdomen.

After concentrating them, Hu Xiaobei began to draw out the poisoned blood with silver needles. He didn't know if this method was one hundred percent effective, so he was extremely nervous at the moment.

Before long, Hu Xiaobei's expression somewhat improved, because at that moment, he saw traces of dark black, poisoned blood slowly flowing out along the silver needles...

Such potent poison!

As it dripped to the floor, Hu Xiaobei saw signs of slight corrosion on the floor...

"I really regret directly killing them before, as letting them die this easily was too lenient!"

Watching Guo Meiyu suffer so much, Hu Xiaobei spoke coldly, truly wishing he could flay them alive...

...

"Alright! All the toxins are finally completely removed!"

An hour later, Hu Xiaobei breathed a sigh of relief.

The next second, he somewhat awkwardly sat down on the ground...

The detoxification only took an hour, but it felt incredibly long to Hu Xiaobei...

He knew if he couldn't save her, he would hate himself for the rest of his life. Fortunately, he saved her...

Sitting on the ground, gasping for air, Hu Xiaobei heard Guo Meiyu murmuring to herself.

"Is... is this hell? It's much better than I imagined! It's just a pity, I will never see that little rascal again in my life, I wonder how he's doing now!"

Hearing such a statement of absolute regret, Hu Xiaobei knew just how much he meant to Guo Meiyu...

He chuckled, then quickly sprang up from the ground.

"Sister-in-law, do you think you'll ever have a chance to get rid of me in this life?"

"Ah!"

Guo Meiyu, hearing Hu Xiaobei's flippant remark, sat up immediately!

Quickly, her eyes widened, "Xiaobei... what... what happened? Are... are you dead too?"

Hu Xiaobei, with a face full of frustration, rubbed his nose and said, "Sister-in-law, can't you think of something positive? What do you mean, am I dead?"

"Then... if you aren't dead, what happened?"

Guo Meiyu was confused...

She remembered that she had clearly taken poison before, so she should be dead by now.

Seeing her adorably foolish appearance, Hu Xiaobei walked over, placed her delicate hand on his face, and said, "Sister-in-law, how do you feel now?"

"Your... your skin is very rough!"

"I..."

Watching her serious expression, Hu Xiaobei smiled wryly and rubbed his nose, saying, "I'm not talking about that. What I mean is, does my face feel warm to you right now?"
