Chapter 337 - Two Routes

Lin Yi wasn't planning on involving himself with Pengzhan's upcoming strategies against Gubang- he'd really have to doubt Pengzhan's abilities if he couldn't handle it with this big an advantage .

Gubang was flaming as he entered his office- it was the first time he'd tasted such utter defeat!! He'd always wanted to replace Pengzhan as chairman, and it was an objective that had seemed so close with Guangbo's aid!

There was nothing left for him anymore .

The chairman's seat had been as good as his with Guangbo on his side- he'd broken with Pengzhan on that basis alone, to the point where he wouldn't be able to turn back! There was no way Pengzhan was letting him go easy; he had to do something about this as soon as possible .

After some hesitation, Gubang dialed up Li Cihu this wasn't within Zhang Yuchu's abilities anymore…

"h.e.l.lo? Mister Jin? How are things coming along? I've heard from Lil' Yuchu that you're getting close to claiming the chairman's seat?" Cihua said . "Master Bin's coming over in just a couple days- there won't be a lack of benefits on your end if this gift of yours gets properly delivered to him . "

"I apologize, Cihua Bro……" Gubang said carefully . "Something unexpected has happened……"

"Unexpected?" Cihua's tone darkened . "What happened?"

"It's about the board member I've been working with… He's given all of his shares to Lin Yi for some reason……" Gubang said . "Lin Yi's in league with that old fox Chu Pengzhan- Things are no longer within my control here at the board… They'll be making a move on me soon……"

"You're saying that the real estate business we're gifting to Master Bin… is no longer happening?" Cihua's voice darkened again .

"I'm… I'm afraid so……" Gubang smiled helplessly .

"Are you f.u.c.king joking, Jin Gubang? After all I've done for you? After I've lost two golden cla.s.s masters? You're telling me that it's too bad, are you?!" Cihua hmphed coldly . "Are you tired of living, Jin Gubang?"

"I'm sorry, Cihua Bro… Please don't get angry……" Gubang wouldn't have thought much of a threat like that coming from someone else, but Cihua having him killed was but a mere trifle! This was no joke, especially when no one would stand up for him after he'd been offed!

"Don't get angry . . ? Why don't you f.u.c.king ask yourself how happy Master Bin would be if he hears about this?" Cihua said . "I myself would be f.u.c.ked if Master Bin gets p.i.s.sed!! I'm telling you here and now, Jin Gubang- the real estate business has to be handed to Master Bin, even if you can't manage that!! There's no alternative! You'll be shouldering the responsibility if things don't end that way . "

"Cihua Bro……" Unfortunately for Gubang, Cihua cut the phone off .

Gubang pushed at his desk and sent the computer falling onto the ground- he himself was p.i.s.sed, but he couldn't let any of that out at Cihua!

Li Cihua was a man who rested comfortably in both the worlds of law and crime, an existence no one held sway over, except that boss behind his back, an existence even more absurd than Li Cihua!

"Chu Pengzhan…… You sure have forced me into a corner here, haven't you…… I'm bringing you down with me!!!" Gubang gritted out .

Yet that was all talk- he wouldn't want to get himself in trouble, and he didn't want his pocketing of company funds exposed . Pengzhan would send him to prison if that came to light, but Cihua's rage would simply end his life!!

He had to figure something out before a tragedy like that took place……

His nightmare was only beginning- Pengzhan called him out for a talk right as he was brainstorming .

There was no way anything good would come out from this meeting with Pengzhan . He didn't want to go, but there wasn't much of a choice left for him- this was Pengzhan's company he was sitting in, after all…

Li Fu greeted him with a smile as he walked over to the office door . "Mister Jin . Mister Chu's waiting for you inside . "

"I get it……" Gubang waved his hand weakly before walking through the door .

He was thinking of making a comeback with Cihua's help, but it turned out that he should be thankful enough that the man wasn't coming to kill him .  

"Mister Jin! Please, take a seat . " Pengzhan pointed at the sofa near the office desk .

Gubang seemed to have aged a decade that instant- he looked at Pengzhan, tired and beaten as he sat on the sofa . "Chu Pengzhan- don't beat around the bush . What do you want?"

He didn't want to play any games with the old fox anymore- there was no need for that at this point . He still had Li Cihua to deal with on top of this Chu Pengzhan before him .

He wasn't even an opponent to Pengzhan anymore- there weren't any tricks left for him to play . Might as well hear what the man had to say .

"Alright, if you say so, Mister Jin . " Pengzhan nodded . "I'll give you two options, two routes! First one: I investigate exactly how much you've pocketed from the company and then send you to court . "

"Ha…… Tell me the second route . " Gubang understood that that wouldn't benefit either of the two .

"Second option- you give me all your shares and we let bygones be bygones . " Pengzhan said faintly .

"Chu Pengzhan!! Listen to what you're saying- that's at least a couple of billions!! You're telling me to just 'give them' to you?" Gubang stood up abruptly, his eyes flaming .

"The money you've pocketed all these years… They're around that number, aren't they? There's at least one or two billion if not a couple . " Pengzhan said with a smile . "I wonder how many years in prison two billion gets you? Think about your options here . "

"Give me one billion more . " Gubang stated his terms after some hesitation .

Pengzhan could see where this was going . He hmphed . "Five hundred million . "

"Eight!" Gubang said .

"Done . " Pengzhan was expecting around one billion's worth of compensation in the first place- eight hundred million was considered low already .

Chapter 338 - Answered Prayers

The first option was but a threat and warning to Gubang- exposing his crimes and sending him to prison wouldn’t really benefit Pengzhan at all .

There were too many variables involved as well- how much evidence was there, and how long would the lawsuit take? The second option was blatantly better for the both of them .  

Without a doubt, Pengzhan knew that Gubang would pick the second route .

“Fine, eighty million it is!” Gubang didn’t feel like bantering with Pengzhan anymore- he had more important things to attend to . With this money he’d be able to start a smaller real estate company for Master Bin as compensation, and Cihua would probably leave him be .

Gubang had practically lost it all today- the chairman’s seat he treasured would never be his now, and he even had to leave the company, losing his shares and only getting compensated eighty million that wasn’t even for himself!

Gubang wouldn’t mind continuing his war against Pengzhan with Cihua’s support, but the man had intent of killing him!! He’d never be afraid of Pengzhan if Cihua was backing him up, but as things were Gubang didn’t have the effort to spare fighting Pengzhan anymore . The best bet for him was to take the money and scram .

Gubang went through the paperwork that very afternoon, handing over his shares to Pengzhan and leaving the company with an eighty million compensation, under the mocking and shocked eyes of the other shareholders .

As of today, Vice-chairman Jin was no longer a board member and shareholder .

The board members and shareholders by the sidelines, on the other hand, understood the sort of situation they’d be in if they’d involved themselves with Gubang…

After all, Jin Gubang had seemed so full of potential, confident and powerful as he went against Pengzhan with the third shareholder… No one expected Guangbo’s shares to just magically transfer to some son-in-law of Pengzhan’s!!

It was clear as day at this point- Pengzhan Industries was under full control of Chu Pengzhan .

Yushu and Mengyao, on the other hand, were living the high life in Lin Yi’s absence……

“Aah, I finally get to walk around naked!” Yushu said comfortably as she lay on the sofa, completely nude .

It was how she rolled- she stripped herself clean of clothes the second she got home . According to her, clothes hindered growth…

“Ahem, Shu- maybe you should take care of your image a bit? Even if Lin Yi isn’t here, Uncle Fu still comes by!” Mengyao said as she looked at Yushu, speechless .

“Uncle Fu knocks when he comes, though . ” Yushu said, not a care in the world as she exhibited her flesh for Mengyao’s eyes . “What d’you think, Yao Yao? Have I gotten curvier?”

“Stop pus.h.i.+ng those mountains in my face- I’ll cut them off!” Mengyao glared . Did having a nice figure mean you could just strut it around? Maybe she should talk about how she was shorter than her!

Contrary to how Yushu’s body focused its growth on her b.o.o.bs, Mengyao’s focused on the spine…… .

“But I wasn’t showing off or anything……” Yushu slumped back into the sofa, troubled . Why didn’t anyone praise her beautiful figure? She couldn’t even show it to anyone, too- Mengyao was her only viewer! And even then! Mengyao still didn’t give her praise! Yushu couldn’t help but sigh helplessly .

“Why don’t you go show it to your precious s.h.i.+eld Bro? I myself am not interested, so go away, I wanna watch TV!” Mengyao looked down at Yushu, her eyes full of disdain . What was she so proud of, anyway? She’d have to let some guy grope those b.o.o.bs eventually……

“Oh, I actually could, but I’m worried you wouldn’t let me……” Yushu squinted her eyes at Mengyao .

“Why would I stop you?” Mengyao felt like ignoring her .

“You’re the main wife and I’m the secondary one, remember? You’re first in line!” Yushu grinned .

“ . . . . . . . . . . ” Mengyao glared at Yushu . “Will you calm down with all of that? I get it now, you’re only well-behaved when Lin Yi’s around! So that’s Lin Yi’s role in the house!”

“Ah, you’re missing him too, aren’t you, Yao Yao!” Yushu blinked as if she’d come across amd discovered a new continent, swinging her arms around gleefully .

“What??” Mengyao was a bit irritated . “I just want him back faster to shut you up! I can’t take it anymore- how did I endure someone like you for more than ten years?!”

Mengyao found that she was at her limits- when Lin Yi was around, she’d hold in Yushu’s reins a bit, but… She’d reverted to her original form after Lin Yi had taken off! Mengyao decided to pray for Lin Yi to come back more quickly .

A clack sounded, and the door to the villa opened……

“Huh??” Mengyao’s eyes went wide as she turned to the door- had her prayers been answered??

Yushu froze as well, her body still upright after her arm-swinging mocking of Mengyao when Lin Yi stepped in to see everything in plain view, Yushu’s body directly facing him from behind the sofa……

“Uh……… . Not a good moment, huh… . . . ” Lin Yi gulped as he stared- he found it a herculean task to turn away from something like this……

He’d actually been l.u.s.ting for Yushu quite a bit, but her status as Mengyao’s best friend made it inappropriate for him to make any moves… He’d been hiding his intentions, but the chance for a view like this was one in a million, something he couldn’t look away from- as a result, Lin Yi the a.s.sa.s.sin convinced himself that all this had happened outside of his control, that it was Yushu’s decision to display herself to him……

“Cover your eyes!! You can’t look!!” Mengyao snapped out of it and shrieked at Lin Yi’s perverted actions .

“Oh…” Yushu extended her hands, and just when everyone thought she was aiming to cover her b.r.e.a.s.t.s up, her palms landed on her own eyes……

“ . . . . . . . . . . . . . ” Why was this girl covering her eyes up . . ? Did she not know who Mengyao was talking to . . ?
