chapter 2 Please come to your door ===

The Xu family hailed from Jiangnan City. When William Xu was sixteen, he ventured out into the world, and now, after forty long years, he had finally carved out his own realm in the bustling city of Tianhai. In Alexander's memories, it had been many years since he last saw a smile on William Xu's face. At least, whenever he faced his father, William never showed him a good expression. Of course, this wasn't entirely William's fault; it was because Alexander himself was never up to the mark. "You worthless thing, you're still not dead?" William Xu exploded in anger upon seeing Alexander, lashing out, "All my life, I, William Xu, have been upright and honest. How did I ever end up with a disobedient son like you?" Although William was happy to hear that his son had miraculously survived, seeing Alexander's current state and remembering all the outrageous things he had done, he felt an urge to slap him. If it weren't for Alexander looking half-dead already, William would have probably done it. The saying goes, 'a hero begets a hero,' but how did he end up with such a useless son? Alexander's usual debaucheries and bullying were bad enough, but this time, Alexander had almost committed rape! And the victim was supposed to be Chloe Song, the Marketing Manager of the Prosperous World Group, their family business! William couldn't fathom what kind of background Chloe had, but she always had hidden bodyguards around her. She had been working in the Prosperous World Group for three years, and no one had discovered her bodyguards until now. His useless son had tried to rape her, only to be nearly beaten to death by her bodyguards! Seeing William Xu coming in, Grace Fang immediately stretched out her hand to stop Alexander Xu, "William Xu, what are you doing here? Do you still think your son is not injured seriously enough? I'm telling you, if you dare to lay a finger on Alexander, I will divorce you, right away, divorce!" "Isn't it all your fault that he will become like this? You're still defending him at a time like this?" William really wanted to scold Alexander, but he swallowed his words upon hearing his wife's threat, instead directing his anger towards her. 'Too much indulgence spoils a child.' Many might envy William Xu for owning the vast Prosperous World Group, but only he knew the bitterness in his heart. To the outside world, he might be a successful businessman, but every time he saw his good-for-nothing son, he wished he had never had him. "Yes, I spoiled him, I doted on him. He's my only son, who else should I spoil if not him? If you're unhappy with us, once Alexander gets better, I'll move back to my parent's house! We won't starve without the Prosperous World Group!" Whenever it came to her son, the usually gentle and sensible Grace Fang would become a furious lioness, tearing apart anyone who dared to harm her son. Seeing his parents arguing non-stop in the ward, Alexander felt a headache coming on. He wanted to say something to stop them but didn't know where to begin. After Grace Fang threatened divorce, William was left speechless, only managing to retort angrily, "You're going to spoil him to death this way!" "Better than being beaten to death by you!" Grace knew deep down that she had spoiled Alexander, but she wouldn't admit it, countering William's accusations without hesitation. The quarrel between the couple escalated, prompting the doctors to quietly leave the room, leaving Alexander, who couldn't move, alone. If he could, he too would have walked out, letting them argue to their heart's content. The couple had argued countless times over their wayward son, but this was undoubtedly the most intense argument yet. "Alright, stop fighting, I will change," Alexander finally managed to say, not wanting to see them continue like this. And he would indeed change, for he was no longer the Alexander Xu of before. The arguing couple suddenly stopped and stared at Alexander as if he were a ghost. With his personality, shouldn't he be screaming about taking revenge on Chloe Song? Instead, he was talking about changing his old habits? "It seems that the brain still hasn't recovered..." Both parents shook their heads and sighed in unison. A week later, Alexander Xu was finally discharged from the hospital. All the doctors believed that he must have been blessed by the gods. With such severe injuries, they predicted he would need to stay in the hospital for at least three to five months, but just a week later, he walked out of the hospital alive and kicking! Of course, Alexander wouldn't tell them that his quick recovery was all thanks to his internal energy. Although his current body was not as strong as before, it didn't hinder his practice of the "Dragon's Command". Alexander also took this time to sort through the information in his mind. If it weren't for the fact that he was now this person, he would have liked to strangle Alexander Xu himself! Alexander Xu, also known as "Bad Xu," was twenty-five years old and the Vice President of the Prosperous World Group, though it was merely a nominal position. In reality, his only reason for going to the company was to pursue Chloe Song, known as the "Flower Beauty of Tianhai City". Alexander Xu grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. He was proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling! When he met Chloe Song by chance, he was immediately shocked. He shamelessly asked William Xu for the position of vice president. He originally wanted to use this position to get Chloe Song, but who knew that Chloe completely ignored him? He later used many means to pursue Chloe Song, but was rejected mercilessly by Chloe Song every time. Until recently, Alexander Xu couldn't tolerate Chloe Song's indifference towards him any longer. Under the influence of alcohol and the instigation of a few friends, he even attempted to force himself on Chloe Song. The result was a brutal beating by her bodyguard. To be precise, he was beaten to the brink of death! Regarding Chloe Song's background, the former Alexander Xu had never bothered to inquire. In his eyes, Chloe Song was merely a marketing manager at Prosperous World Group, at best a competent ordinary woman. Alright, he admitted, Chloe Song was indeed outstanding. Setting aside her beauty, she graduated from Tianhai University at the age of twenty and then joined Prosperous World Group. In just three years, she rose from an ordinary salesperson to a marketing manager with an annual salary of several million, achieving a career progression that many could not accomplish in a lifetime. This alone was enough to prove Chloe Song's excellence! Outstanding women are often proud, and Chloe Song was no exception. Over the years, countless suitors, including rich heirs like Alexander Xu and self-proclaimed talented young men, had pursued her, but she had never accepted anyone's courtship. As Alexander Xu sat in the car, thinking about Chloe Song, the driver soon brought him home. Although he had already found memories of Xu's Villa in the mind of that wastrel, the sight of it still shocked him. Xu's Villa, rather than a mere villa, was more like a manor. The residential area was just a small part of it. Most of the estate was made up of artificial landscapes, including two luxurious swimming pools and a vast backyard garden. There was even a dedicated large villa for servants, drivers, and bodyguards. Alexander Xu couldn't help but marvel at the luxurious lifestyle of the wealthy. Of course, he only lamented inwardly; he would never refuse such a lavish lifestyle. "I'll go to the company and apologize to Chloe in person tomorrow!" As soon as Alexander Xu got home, William Xu issued the command. Sometimes, William Xu also hoped that Chloe Song would become a daughter-in-law of the Xu family. At least, if his son turned out to be a disappointment, with Chloe Song's capability, she could at least maintain the hard-earned business empire, or even take it to a higher level. This was why he had allowed his unworthy son to pursue Chloe Song. Despite knowing that his son didn't deserve Chloe Song, he still harbored a faint hope, which was now utterly shattered after this incident. Now, he no longer expected Chloe Song to become his daughter-in-law. He just hoped that there would be no more trouble between his son and Chloe Song. Although he was not fully aware of Chloe Song's identity, anyone constantly protected by a bodyguard was no ordinary person. He just wondered why such a person would choose to work at Prosperous World Group. "Apologize?" Alexander Xu didn't consider all of this; he just looked at William Xu strangely and shook his head vigorously, "I almost raped her, and her people almost beat me to death. We're even, neither of us owes the other anything!" Who was he? The strongest "Azure Dragon" in the "Law Enforcer" organization. When had he ever apologized to anyone? It was always others who apologized to him! "You bastard!" William Xu couldn't help but curse loudly. After observing his son in the hospital for a week, he thought this good-for-nothing had really changed and was secretly pleased. But no sooner had he recovered than he reverted to his true self! Hearing William Xu's angry outburst, Grace Fang rushed out of the kitchen, worried that her husband would scold their beloved son again. At this moment, a servant came to report that the Chief of Tianhai City Police, Samuel Li, had arrived with his team. "Please, let them in!" William Xu gave Alexander Xu a stern look and hurriedly instructed the staff to welcome Samuel Li. When Samuel Li entered, William Xu immediately sensed something was amiss. He and Samuel Li were quite close, and Samuel Li usually visited the villa alone. However, today, he brought a large team of police officers, including many armed policemen. "Chief Li, what is this about?" William Xu frowned slightly, his face showing confusion. Normally, he called Samuel Li "Old Li", but in front of so many officers, he gave Samuel Li enough respect. With years of experience in the business world, he had learned to read people and situations. Seeing Samuel Li's expression, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
