Episode 361 CHALLENGES THE ENEMY
Liang Jia received his lunch ration as well as a piece of paper tucked under his vegetable bowl. The old woman glanced at her servant with a grateful look, the female servant nodded respectfully and passed in silence. Since Lau asked him to be careful about food and not to talk about important things orally, Liang Jia finally obeyed and changed the way communication through writing. He just received
the information his servant smuggled along with the food in the presence of Liang Jia. He was more interested in the contents of the paper than tempted by the aroma of the cuisine. Liang Jia lifted the still hot vegetable bowl slowly, then opened the folded piece of paper enthusiastically.
His eyes sparkled as he read that, Liang Jia almost burst into tears of joy. He closed his mouth with one hand, inwardly unceasingly giving thanks for his prayers being answered.
The secret paper contained the handwriting of the servant as well as the only intel that sided with Liang Jia who was still alive. The rest of the servants had already been fired and replaced by Kao Jing's recruits who were completely on his side.

Liang Jia felt that her life would be saved thanks to Xiao Jun's return, she placed great hopes on him. “Jun, help me ...” The sizzling Liang Jia who could not help but speak without a sound again.

The arrival of Xiao Jun and Grace was not shocking news but something Kao Jing was looking forward to, especially Chen Kho. The two walked into the main hall, where Li San was supposed to be, but now the one sitting on the throne was none other than Grace's father.
“Honor to father.” Grace bowed respectfully to the old man. Only Grace said her greetings, Xiao Jun was not even willing to nod his head as the lowest form of respect in the Li family's rules. He stood firm with cold eyes staring fixedly at the power-hungry man.
“Good, you go home fast and obey dad. Aren't you tired of standing up? Sit down and we'll talk about your wedding plans.” Kao Jing said kindly with a small laugh. The look of his face looks friendly and very happy, unfortunately the look only looks good from the outside. Now that she knows her father's foul intentions, Grace is no longer fooled by her father's sweet mouth. Everything was just a show, his father and brother were wearing masks
covering his evil heart.
Grace glanced at Xiao Jun who was fluttering next to her, expecting the man's response at her father's orders. Xiao Jun understood Grace's confusion, he nodded slowly in response. Grace looked tense, not even a smile carved from her lips. He was too afraid to face a family who had crossed paths with him. They walked to the side, taking a prepared seat to greet them.
Chen Kho glanced sharply at Xiao Jun's every move, though he did not stare directly but Xiao Jun knew that he was being highlighted by his enemy. Grace took a quick glance at Chen Kho, then immediately lowered her head in fear as soon as Chen Kho returned his gaze. Yesterday's terror and the poison that was given to her, all the horror came back to Grace's mind.
“My sister, are you well right? Next time don't be desperate again, it's a deadly candy.” Chen Kho chuckled, he deliberately teased Grace who was already acting awkwardly to him. Anyway, it seems difficult
repairing their already fractured relationship even though in a small heart still tucked in affection.
Grace held back her wrath, choosing to look down instead of looking at her outrageous brother joking. Xiao Jun glanced at the girl beside him, he felt sorry for Grace who had such a depraved family. It is still lucky that he has a good family even though since childhood he did not have the opportunity to feel the warmth of the family.
“Live on, my arrival here of course you know what it means to agree to your request. Give me the antidote immediately!” Firmly Xiao Jun who was unceremoniously stale and called politely to his interlocutor.
Kao Jing's laughter sounded mocking, Xiao Jun clenched his sobbing hands. While Chen Kho just grinned and quietly let his father take on more roles.
“It's easy, relax I guarantee it won't be too late to save them. The antidote was only given when you got married, the exchange should be fair right?” Kao Jing said casually.
Kao Jing's calm face changed completely upon hearing Xiao Jun's request, as did Chen Kho who was frowning but still trying to calm down.
“Why should you hurry? Marriage is not an easy thing, there are days that need to be taken into account so that everything goes well. I don't agree, your wedding date has been set for another two weeks. Just wait for that time, they won't die that fast just because of waiting for a while.” Ketus Kao Jing's.
“Daddy says marriage is not easy? But dad easily forced us to get married. What else to count? Marriage by force will not be good just because it counts the good day. I want to get married tomorrow!” Resolutely Grace, he had agreed to obey Xiao Jun, even with the courage to help Xiao Jun suppress his father.
Kao Jing's face was wrathful for a moment, her index finger pointing at her daughter. “You! How dare you sassy to your father?”
Grace looked at her father with pus, though her heart was afraid but she would not tremble. “I learned from you dad. How do you treat me, that's how I treat you!” Resolute Grace.
“Grace and I agreed to speed this up, the one getting married is us and we don't mind the day. Why do you delay good things? Aren't you afraid that we might change our minds and not care about your threats? Is it difficult for a ruler to arrange a marriage within one day? Mr. Li San is clearly capable, but I don't know with you .. I doubt your capacity as leader.” Xiao Jun sneer, he seemed to have managed to heat the hearts of his enemies.
“Exploitation! You're a pick-me-up kid who wasn't taught manners!” Kao Jing snapped to his feet pointing towards Xiao Jun with eyes wide in anger.
Chen Kho started to get tired of hearing the debate, he straightened up his sitting position. “Have you been, was it hard to keep up with the boy's challenge? He wants to test how great we are, ha ha ha .. Good too, too flat according to plan was very boring.” Said Chen Kho, he still had time to yawn in between his serious words.
“I like challenges, it's getting tempting. Just grant them a request, Dad. Marry them tomorrow and the boy must hold a press conference and declare the handover of power from his hand to us. That way, the public will not condemn us for us to have a power struggle.” Typal Chen Kho was full of enthusiasm.
Kao Jing was silent at the thought of her son's words, and she glanced at him with a doubtful look. However Chen Kho nodded, reassuring that this sudden change of plans was not a big barrier for him. It just
obey Xiao Jun's rules and be confident in winning this battle.
“Alright, you guys get married tomorrow and announce to the press about handing over power.” Firmly Kao Jing aimed at Xiao Jun.
“Married then give the antidote, then I will title press conference.” Clamming Xiao Jun was no less resolute.
“Do not get hooked bidding boy, you have no right to sue.” Pekik Kao Jing's.
“Oh, if you want it like that .. Mean you also have no right to demand more. We were only forced to marry the bidder in return, not previously mentioned resigning from inheritance rights. I could not be willing to do it, it was not included in the initial deal.” Xiao Jun exclaimed arrogantly, his sly smile expanding.
Kao Jing was at a loss for words, her reddened face held in anger. Xiao Jun cornered him severely. Chen Kho remained calm, as he expected that Xiao Jun would not give up easily without a fight. But Xiao Jun certainly did not know what Chen Kho had prepared to cripple his strength.
