Chapter 27: Facing Danger, Possessed by the Octopus!

With Ji Han stepping in, the Tang family finally reined themselves in. Their current standing was nowhere near what it once was, and they could not afford a direct confrontation with him. Elder Tang sighed, looking at his incompetent descendants, and felt that the family had no future.

"Forget it, forget it. I’m done with this. If you lot weren't so useless, I wouldn't have had to demean myself like this. If you could be half as successful as Ji Han, I would thank the heavens."

Elder Tang truly could not fathom it. With such a vast fortune passed down through so many generations, why was it that in this generation, not a single descendant was worth anything? He had even wondered if something was wrong with their ancestral graves; it was one thing for his grandsons and granddaughters to be failures, but even his daughter's children were mostly incompetent. Now, he simply hoped these spendthrifts wouldn't squander the family fortune too quickly and that they would get married and have children soon, in the hope that a few capable ones might be born. While he was still alive, he could properly cultivate them.

The old man had decided to stop interfering, but the younger generation had not let go of their grudge. Every time they went out, people pointed at them, and the label of "parasites" was stuck to them so firmly it could not be torn off.

"No way! When have we ever been bullied like this? If Grandfather won't do anything, I will!"

"It's just one Ji Han. I refuse to believe we can't take him down!"

When these people spoke of "taking him down," they certainly didn't mean through legitimate means. A group of them gathered together to plot. They reasoned that since Ji Han was the only son, if this successful man were removed, the Ji family would surely collapse. And that Su Zhihan—she was just a woman, yet she dared to look down on them. They would show her what they could do to her when the time came. Although she had a fiery temper, she was incredibly beautiful; a personality like that would certainly be fun to play with.

The Tang family had been involved with the underworld in the past and had used dirty tactics before. While Elder Tang wanted to clean up the family's reputation, these descendants had their own ideas. They had secretly used these unscrupulous methods to handle many issues, all while keeping it hidden from the old man.

At this moment, Ji Han and his group had no idea they were being targeted. With the issues at Song Miaoke's company resolved, the four of them were out having a meal together. Su Zhihan snatched all the meat from the pot with lightning speed. The other three stared at her, chopsticks frozen in mid-air.

Song Yu took a deep breath, his expression utterly speechless. "I’m asking you, have you never eaten hot pot in your eight lifetimes? Can't you leave us some meat?" He had never seen anyone eat hot pot like a bandit.

Su Zhihan ate a slice of beef and squinted in comfort; she loved the satisfaction of stuffing her mouth full. "Who told you to be so refined? Hot pot is all about whose chopsticks are faster. You have to fight for the food for it to taste good." She deliberately waved a piece of meat in front of them before popping it into her mouth. "If your hand speed is slow, you can't blame anyone. If you're slow, you just have to watch me eat."

The three of them exchanged glances and, with a silent understanding, abandoned their refinement. There was no choice; if they remained refined, they wouldn't get to eat anything. Knowing Su Zhihan’s personality, she wouldn't leave them any scraps, so they had to fight for it!

The four of them ate as if they were in a war. The waiter who came to serve the dishes was stunned by their intensity. Was the hot pot really that delicious? They looked like they were enjoying it so much. Su Zhihan felt a hint of triumph seeing them get into the spirit. *Whatever protagonist, heroine, or supporting character—in my presence, everyone has to drop their refinement and become a bandit!*

The meal lasted over two hours. It must be said, eating this way really made the food taste better and allowed them to consume more. Ji Han and Song Yu couldn't help but loosen their belts—they were stuffed! They had never eaten so much in their lives.

Su Zhihan glanced at Song Yu’s protruding belly and then at Ji Han’s, and quite naturally, she pulled out her phone. With two clicks, the images of these two powerful CEOs slumped in their chairs, looking dazed and pot-bellied, were permanently saved.

Song Yu and Ji Han: "..." *You really have nothing better to do.*

Ji Han: "How many photos of me do you have on your phone? This is a serious violation of my portrait rights. I could sue you." If any unflattering photo of him were to leak, it would definitely be Su Zhihan's fault.

Su Zhihan flipped through her gallery; there were indeed quite a few, most of which were provided by Song Miaoke. She shared them with everyone quite generously and challenged him, "Go ahead and sue if you have the ability! If you do, these will become court evidence. I won't come out well, but neither will you."

"Everyone will see these unflattering photos of you, and the image of CEO Ji will be completely ruined."

Ji Han felt a headache coming on. Having a friend like this was truly exhausting.

Since it was the weekend tomorrow, the four decided to go out to relax, as too much had happened recently. As they drove home, two people in an unnoticeable corner kept their eyes fixed on them. The Tang family descendants had already finalized their plan for the following day.

With all four of them traveling together, what a perfect opportunity to strike. The best way to make someone die "invisibly" was a car accident.

That night, as Su Zhihan lay in bed, she felt a lingering sense of unease, but she didn't give it much thought. In a society governed by law, who would have thought that those people from the Tang family would resort to such things? This wasn't just some underhanded scheme; this was an open attempt on people's lives.

The next day, the four of them set out in one car. The resort they were heading to was outside the city and boasted beautiful scenery; it was the same resort where the villa Ji Han had gifted Su Zhihan was located. As soon as the car left the city, Ji Han sensed something was wrong. It seemed there were several cars following them.

"Everyone, pay attention! There are a few cars following us!"

Su Zhihan glanced at the vehicles behind them and quickly grabbed Song Miaoke, nearly strangling her in the process. Just then, the car behind them seemed to lose control, charging directly at them. It rammed into their rear bumper, attempting to swerve around them.

Beside the road was a small, steep slope; if they were to tumble down, even if they survived, they would be half-dead. In that moment, the only thought in Su Zhihan's mind was to hold onto Song Miaoke tightly so that she might survive. While clutching Song Miaoke, she didn't forget to shout at Song Yu: "What are you staring at? Hurry up and move closer to Ji Han!"

Protagonists were children of great fortune—they couldn't possibly die. Staying close to them was the only way to stay alive.

In the split second before the car was knocked off the slope, two "octopuses" clung desperately to Ji Han and Song Miaoke.

Ji Han and Song Miaoke: "..." *It’s a dangerous situation, but our current internal emotions are even more complicated.*
