Transmigrating as the Villain Father, Forcing the Protagonist’s Mother to Have Children

Chapter 143

Early the next morning—

Several police cars stormed into the Chu family estate.

As the vehicles came to a halt, a woman in uniform stepped out of the lead car.

Tall and curvaceous, her figure strained against her clothes, accentuating her explosive proportions.

Her face was exquisitely beautiful, her eyes sharp and bright, with a heroic air in her brows.

The police uniform did nothing to hide her allure—instead, it amplified her striking, valiant demeanor.

“Captain Liu…”

Several officers emerged from the other police cars and saluted her, their gazes filled with admiration and a trace of infatuation.

Liu Yiran waved her hand.

“Arrest him.”

The officers rushed into the Chu family villa.

Chu Xiong had long been prepared.

At that moment, he sat calmly at the tea table, sipping his drink as if waiting for their arrival.

“Chu Xiong, you are suspected of tax evasion, illegal securities trading… Please come with us for investigation.”

Chu Xiong said nothing as he stood up.

Immediately, two officers approached, cuffing his hands.

As the officers escorted Chu Xiong out, Yao Xinrui followed with mixed emotions, observing the situation.

Just as Chu Xiong was about to be taken into the police car, another vehicle arrived.

A woman stepped out of the driver’s seat, opened the rear door, and Xu Hao emerged.

This “Brother Chu” was about to be locked up, and Xu Hao had come specifically to see him off.

It was hypocritical, after all, Chu Xiong’s downfall had been orchestrated by Xu Hao himself.

Of course, Xu Hao wasn’t here to defend his “brother.”

He was worried that his sister-in-law might not understand the situation, so he came to help her seize control of the Chu family.

The moment he stepped out of the car, Xu Hao froze.

His gaze instantly locked onto the stunning policewoman leading the operation.

Above her head, an aura of destiny shimmered—another heroine.

His heart stirred as an attribute panel appeared before his eyes:

[Character]: Liu Yiran

[Identity]: Police Beauty, Heroine of “Disciple, You’re Already Invincible—Go Down the Mountain and Torment Your Junior Sisters”

[Charm]: 94 (Max 100)

[Strength]: 95 (Peak Mingjin)

[Physique]: 54 (Average 10)

[Spirit]: 40 (Average 10)

[Favorability]: -30

Tsk, a police beauty.

Her profession definitely added to her appeal.

“Hmm?”

Xu Hao’s brow lifted as he noticed the “-30” favorability.

What was going on?

If he remembered correctly—

This was his first time meeting this heroine, right?

Starting at “-30” favorability? Seriously?

Something was off.

Xu Hao only glanced at her before calmly shifting his gaze and walking forward.

Chu Xiong, who had been cooperative until now, suddenly spoke to the police beauty.

“Officer, could you give me a moment to speak with an old friend?”

Liu Yiran frowned slightly.

“Officer, I’m already handcuffed, it’s not like I can run. Surely you recognize Xu Hao, CEO of Xu Corporation? He and I are old friends…”

Chu Xiong quickly dropped Xu Hao’s name, hoping the officers would show some courtesy.

“Xu Hao?”

Liu Yiran gave Xu Hao a strange look but ultimately agreed.

“Brother Chu, what’s going on? I woke up to all those trending headlines and rushed over—only to see you being taken away?”

“Ah…” Chu Xiong sighed. “No need to talk about it. I was outplayed by a scoundrel.”

Xu Hao: “…”

Oh, so that’s how you insult me?

Just wait and see how I’ll take care of your wife and bully your son.

“Brother Xu, time is short. Could I ask you for a favor?” Chu Xiong’s eyes were pleading.

Among his few friends, Xu Hao was one. That he had come immediately after hearing the news proved his trustworthiness.

Adversity reveals true loyalty.

“Brother Chu, just say the word. If it’s within my power, I won’t refuse.”

Chu Xiong was moved, speaking regretfully,

“Last time we drank together was so enjoyable. I even bought some fine liquor, hoping to share it with you someday. Now, it seems that day may never come…”

“That night was indeed enjoyable.”

Xu Hao smirked subtly, his gaze flickering toward sister-in-law Yao Xinrui standing nearby.

That night with this heroine had been quite wild.

“Brother Chu, don’t say that. This is just an investigation—you’ll be out soon. We’ll drink to our hearts’ content then…”

Chu Xiong smiled bitterly.

Given the charges against him, getting out would be near impossible.

Suppressing his emotions, Chu Xiong spoke solemnly.

“Brother Xu, my biggest worry is my son. He’s being targeted by a scoundrel named Zheng Feifan. I fear for his safety. I hope you can look after him…”

Xu Hao’s expression turned serious.

“No problem. That boy has always been respectful to me, calling me ‘Uncle.’ He’s just a bit impulsive—if he fixes that, he’ll go far.”

“Brother Chu, don’t worry. Since you’ve entrusted your son to me, I swear he won’t suffer the slightest harm.”

Xu Hao’s words were full of righteousness.

After he’s dead, there’ll be no more harm, right?

Chu Xiong was deeply moved.

His gaze toward Xu Hao changed entirely.

Xu Hao’s rise to power had been legendary—almost no obstacles, especially in the cutthroat real estate industry.

Most developers were ruthless, but not Xu Hao.

Not only was he not corrupt, but he also participated in countless charity events, donating vast sums…

Chu Xiong had always assumed Xu Hao was a wolf in sheep’s clothing—that it was all an act.

But now, it seemed he had misjudged him.

After his arrest, his so-called friends had distanced themselves, fearing association.

Yet Xu Hao remained the same—consistent with his public image.

Refined, amiable, loyal…

Not only had he come immediately, but he had also agreed to protect his son.

Chu Xiong was so moved he could barely speak.

Taking a deep breath to steady himself, he continued…

“And then there’s my son—his abilities are lacking, and he’s currently hospitalized, so he can’t manage the company.”

“I’ve put Xinrui in temporary charge. She used to run a small business, so suddenly managing a large corporation is overwhelming for her. I hope you’ll look out for her, Brother Xu…”

Xu Hao pondered for a moment before nodding.

“I think Sister-in-law’s management skills are quite solid. She should handle it fine for now—don’t worry.”

“If there’s anything she doesn’t understand, I’ll step in. And if anyone dares to scheme against her, our two families can join forces…”

Chu Xiong’s face brightened.

His biggest fear was that opportunists would target the Chu family while he was locked up.

With Xu Hao’s assurance, their combined influence would deter all but the largest conglomerates.

“Brother Xu, I don’t know how to thank you…”

Faced with Chu Xiong’s emotional gratitude, Xu Hao suppressed a shudder and forced a smile.

“We’re friends. It’s only right to help.”

“Time’s up, Chu Xiong. You need to come with us now…”

An officer stepped forward and led Chu Xiong away.

Before leaving, Police Captain Liu Yiran gave Xu Hao a long, penetrating look before boarding the police car.

Xu Hao stroked his chin.

This police heroine clearly has a grudge against me.

What could have made her dislike me so much?

I’ll have to investigate.

With a wail of sirens, the police cars departed.

Only Xu Hao and Sister-in-law Yao Xinrui remained in the Chu estate.

Xu Hao turned to her with a smile.

“Congratulations, Sister-in-law. The Chu Corporation—worth billions—is now in your hands.”

Though she had already submitted to him, Yao Xinrui still tensed in Xu Hao’s presence.

At his words, she thought of her predicament and sighed.

“What’s there to congratulate me for? I’m just a temporary caretaker. The shares still belong to that useless Chu Xiaotian.”

“I won’t gain anything from this…”

Since Xu Hao already knew about her embezzlement—and had seen her in her most humiliating moments—she spoke without restraint.

“Who says you won’t gain anything?”

“Once you control the company, there’s plenty you can do. That waste Chu Xiaotian will be at your mercy.”

Xu Hao’s tone was light, a far cry from the polite facade he had shown Chu Xiong.

Yao Xinrui, familiar with his true nature, wasn’t surprised.

Her eyes lit up.

“Do you really think I can? Right now, the Chu Group is in chaos after Chu Xiong’s arrest—government investigations, shareholders causing trouble… It’s hard enough just keeping things running, let alone making moves.”

She frowned, overwhelmed by the challenges ahead.

“Those are real problems, but with the right backing, they’re easily solved.”

“But who would support me?”

She paused mid-sentence.

A vivid image flashed in her mind, Xu Hao standing behind her, his hands on her shoulders.

Her cheeks flushed slightly before she turned to him with excitement.

“Husband… are you saying you’ll help me take control of the Chu Group?”

Xu Hao nodded.

“Of course. Brother Chu just asked me to take good care of his wife, didn’t he?”

His gaze lingered on her with amusement.

Yao Xinrui understood his meaning and rolled her eyes playfully.

Chu Xiong asked him to “take care” of her?

Xu Hao certainly knew how to “care” for a woman—right into the bedroom.

They had already crossed every line imaginable, so she no longer felt shy.

Instead, she was thrilled.

With Xu Hao’s help, overcoming these obstacles would be effortless.

Strangely, she used to despise Xu Hao, fearing his cunning schemes.

But now that she had submitted to him, she felt an odd sense of security.

She finally understood what her friend Su Wanqiu had meant.

Back then, Su Wanqiu had repeatedly badmouthed Xu Hao to her—only to later drag her into an alliance against him.

But Xu Hao treated his own people well.

Overcome with emotion, Yao Xinrui blurted out:

“I’m not that bastard Chu Xiong’s wife—you’re my husband. Thank you.”

“You should be grateful, Sister-in-law…”

Xu Hao smirked, then asked casually:

“Do you know who leaked those scandalous headlines?”

“Wasn’t it that Zheng?”

She almost said “Zheng Feifan”—Chu Xiong had blamed him.

She had seen Zheng Feifan storm into the Chu estate before, and he was indeed formidable.

But then she noticed Xu Hao’s meaningful look.

Her words died in her throat as realization struck.

“Wait… was it?”

When Xu Hao nodded, her mind reeled.

No wonder!!!

No wonder Chu Xiong thought Zheng Feifan had no solid evidence yesterday and let his guard down.

But the truth was that Zheng Feifan didn’t have enough proof.

Xu Hao did.

As shock washed over her, Yao Xinrui stared at Xu Hao with newfound terror.

The sheer comprehensiveness of the evidence meant Xu Hao had been planning this for a long time.

It was chilling—

Just days ago, the two men had been drinking together like brothers.

(Though Xu Hao’s real goal had been to get Chu Xiong drunk so he could “tour the bedroom” with Yao Xinrui.)

But it proved how deep Xu Hao’s schemes ran.

He’s terrifying.

If he could do this to someone he called a friend…

What would happen to someone who betrayed him?

Any thought of resisting Xu Hao vanished from her mind.

Just moments ago—

When Xu Hao offered to help her control the Chu Group, she had entertained the idea of using its power to oppose him.

Once I’m in charge of a billion-dollar conglomerate, I’ll be on equal footing with the Xu Corporation.

Then I can break free from him.

But now she saw how naive that hope was.

If I ever turned against him… what would he do to me?

A shiver ran down her spine.

Xu Hao observed her reaction with satisfaction.

He had deliberately revealed his role to intimidate her—to crush any rebellious thoughts.

Of course, he didn’t fully trust Yao Xinrui yet.

Until she was completely devoted to him, he wouldn’t let her seize full control of the Chu Group.

He’d help her manage the company, but the Chu family shares?

That depends on her loyalty.

In short—

How soon Chu Xiaotian dies will be up to her performance.

“Sister-in-law, are you alright?” Xu Hao feigned concern.

Yao Xinrui snapped out of her daze and forced a smile.

“N-Nothing…”

She steadied herself.

Resisting Xu Hao leads to ruin.

Then I just won’t resist.

He treats me well now—helping me take over the Chu Group.

As long as I stay by his side, I’ll be safe.

But then Xu Hao gave her a teasing look.

“Sister-in-law, didn’t you say you wanted to thank me? You know I don’t accept empty words…”

Yao Xinrui knew exactly what he meant.

Her heart skipped a beat.

After a quick glance around to ensure no one was watching, she bit her lip and looped her arm through his.

“Husband… let’s go inside. I’ll thank you properly.”

Later, in the Chu Corporation—CEO’s Office

After receiving Yao Xinrui’s… enthusiastic gratitude, Xu Hao set about resolving the Chu family’s crises.

Tax evasion? Fines were paid.

Company seizures? Xu Hao pulled strings to expedite the process.

Illegal ventures? Shut down without hesitation.

By the end of the day, the Chu Group had stabilized.

Troublemaking shareholders and rival corporations backed off under Xu Hao’s pressure.

And just like that—Yao Xinrui became the official CEO of the Chu Corporation.

Now, standing before the floor-to-ceiling windows on the 33rd floor, she gazed at the sprawling city below.

Having my husband’s support… feels incredible.
