The Strongest Mad Son-in-law-Chapter 1445 - 1448: Xiang Shang's Secret

Chapter 1445

The Wu Family has always upheld that family interests are above all else. Although the matter hasn't truly been resolved, he understands that it's already a foregone conclusion.
"Our Wu Family is willing to join the Xu Liu Group led by Young Master Xu and become a part of the Xu Liu Group," the Patriarch of the Wu Family finally said after much struggle.
Immediately, the heads of the Wei, Rong, and Jin families also expressed their willingness to work with Xu Hao.
At this point, all of Hongkong's Top Ten Families have submitted to Xu Hao!
Xiang Shang was instantly dumbfounded.
Not to mention three days, Xu Hao didn't even need a full day to subdue all of Hongkong's Top Ten Families!
Looking at the impossibly youthful Xu Hao, the patriarch of the Wu Family felt a myriad of emotions.
Once upon a time, when they were young, they were also so reckless, but that was only because of the backing of their family's power.
However, the current Xu Hao had made all these local Hongkong forces submit with his own power!
This is something unimaginable for many people!
Since Hongkong began developing over a hundred years ago, people wanted to consolidate its forces, but everyone was so proud that no one would submit to anyone else.
No one could stand each other, let alone unite as one.
It was simply impossible!
Some even predicted that all the forces in Hongkong would inevitably remain fragmented and would never unite.
Yet now, the only twenty-something-year-old Xu Hao had done it!
How could this not be shocking?
Xu Hao casually threw the Wu Family's Young Master to the ground, then turned to Xiang Shang and said, "Xiang Shang, now, do you have anything you want to say?"
Xiang Shang took a deep breath and suddenly knelt on the ground, repeatedly saying, "Okay! I know you're extraordinary, but can you spare my life? I am a top student from America's Massachusetts Institute of Technology, I excel in finance. If you're willing to spare me, I will wholeheartedly work for you!"
Facing imminent death, Xiang Shang had to abandon his dignity and beg for mercy.
If he had lived his life at the bottom, he might take life and death lightly, but having lived with privilege and enjoying life's pleasures, to suddenly face death was too great a contrast for him to endure.
Xu Hao chuckled lightly and said, "You overestimate yourself. Your so-called high education means nothing to me! I can easily find a large group of top students like you, and they would work harder than you without me having to guard against betrayal."
Xiang Shang quickly said, "Young Master Xu, it's not like that. I have a secret I want to tell you; I wonder if you would listen for a moment?"
"Of course, say it." Xu Hao said coolly.
"But, there are too many ears here; this isn't the place to tell a secret," Xiang Shang said.
"Just say it when you're told to, no need for so much nonsense!"
Xu Hao said coldly, but the other family members are smart; don't they know what to do at this moment?
They all found an excuse to leave, leaving only Xu Hao, Qin Yao, and Xiang Shang and his wife.
Xiang Shang then said in a low voice, "Young Master Xu, I'm telling you this secret. Please, don't kill me, will you?"
"Actually, you and I don't have a great enmity. If your secret is weighty enough, I might choose not to kill you. Otherwise, you will still die," Xu Hao said lightly.
Yesterday, Xiang Shang had threatened his life, but he was just an ordinary person, not seen as a threat by Xu Hao.
Xiang Shang sighed and said, "Alright, then I will say it. This is a secret I learned while studying at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, more than twenty years ago. All these years, I haven't let it go, but I know I can't investigate it further by myself. I know it's certainly something important, so now to save my life, I have to tell it.
There are many mysterious places in the world that humans have never explored; I believe Young Master Xu knows about this. In Egypt, Africa, there are mysterious pyramids. The First Pyramid, before the Eiffel Tower was built, was the tallest building in the world. Many people go there to visit, but generally, no tourists are allowed inside.
However, when we went there, my classmates and I were determined to take a look inside, knowing the mummies of ancient Egyptian Pharaohs were buried there, which made us curious. I remember on the third night, after meticulously studying the patrol patterns, we managed to get in.
But none of us expected that stepping into the Pyramid would be the beginning of our nightmare! I swear if time could go back, I would never go there again!"
