At the top floor of Jin’s Group, in the CEO's office.
Jin Yihan smoked cigarettes one after another, the blurry smoke surrounding him and even his facial features became blurry.
His narrow eyes were filled with gloom and frustration.
Yesterday, he met Murong Aotian at the East Asia Economic Forum. The two of them walked along the corridor until they met face to face. The cold aura seemed to collide with each other and sparks flew in all directions. However, he could faintly feel that Murong Aotian changing, becoming gentle and indifferent, was truly a bit out of his expectations. It was certainly good news to him to hear that Su Wanbai had broken up with him not long ago, but how could he not be happy? If Su Wanbai could not become a tool to take revenge on Murong Aotian, then what weakness could he use? He thought hard, but could not find an answer.
"Big Brother, how have you been!" Murong Aotian smiled at him, a smile that was not a smile on his face.
He was still used to calling him "big brother". After thinking about it, it was really ironic that they were once the best friends. Jin Mengyao's death could be seen between them, all their friendship had vanished. Murong Aotian's heart was filled with regret, but Jin Yihan's eyes were blinded by intense hatred, making him unable to see a lot of things.
"Do you remember pointing a gun at me? You still have the nerve to call me big brother? I don't have a brother like you. Jin Yihan raised his chin and looked at Murong Aotian's slightly thin face with disdain.
"I just wanted to scare you a bit. Besides, that gun is mine, the bullets inside it were already out. I don't know why …" A trace of pain flashed past Murong Aotian's eyes.
He did not want to think about that kind of past, but when Jin Yihan mentioned it, he had no choice but to say something.
"Come on! No bullets? How do you explain the bullet that came out of the gun? Could it be something out of the blue? " Jin Yihan said in an overbearing tone.
"I …" Murong Aotian frowned, and was immediately rendered speechless.
"In this life, it's my honor to have you as my enemy, not me, and not you! Wait for your response! " Jin Yihan said these harsh words, then turned and left.
Murong Aotian stood there in a daze, completely at a loss.
Since he was young, he had always felt that whatever he said and did was right. But on the matter of Jin Mengyao, he felt ashamed of his Jin Family from the bottom of his heart. He was wrong, he had been wrong from the moment he had thought of scaring Jin Yihan. How could he be so impulsive? Jin Yihan had only punched him a few times, so what if he took a few blows? Although he didn't know why Jin Yihan had suddenly hit him and he didn't have the chance to ask, but at that time, their relationship was like that of brothers. Mengyao was dead, and his good brother was standing on the opposite side, the knot in his heart could no longer be opened.
All these years, he had been trying to find that Jin Family servant who had hugged him from behind, but he had simply vanished from the face of the earth. If he was still here, then why would she suddenly have a bullet in her handgun and why did Jin Yihan suddenly become angry? But then he thought, so what if he knew? Mengyao was already dead, and would never come back. Hatred was like a prairie fire; it couldn't be dealt with.
In fact, Jin Yihan also had some doubts about what had happened that year, but he had never investigated further. The hatred was already deeply rooted in his heart, and had changed from a young plant to a towering tree. Perhaps, only by completely defeating Murong Aotian, would that hatred disappear into thin air.
"CEO, your appointed Director Zhang has arrived. He is waiting for you in the conference room!" The assistant knocked on the door and came in.
"I'll be right there." Jin Yihan calmed his chaotic emotions and put out the cigarette in the ashtray, then walked towards the conference room with big strides.
Director Zhang is an old man from the Murong Group, he started to follow Murong Ye around since he was twenty years old. Although Murong Aotian's cold and hard style allowed the area of affairs of Murong Group to experience a qualitative leap, the benefits the directors received were not as much as they had imagined. There were a few directors who had a big opinion in private, but most of them were angry but did not say anything. Only the Director Zhang had a straightforward character, who would often retort against Murong Aotian in front of everyone. Although Murong Aotian was young, he was a person with extremely high EQ. Every time, he would be able to obtain two or three batches of gold, causing the Director Zhang to be speechless. The grudge between the Director Zhang and Murong Aotian was deep, and this had long been a public secret in the Murong Group. This was also the main reason why Jin Yihan had invited him over.
It was very easy for Murong Aotian's enemies or people who viewed Murong Aotian as their enemy to become his friends and be used by him.
"President Jin, I know why you called me here. But, I am a person of the Murong Group, so I will definitely not leak out any secret of my business! " The Director Zhang's eyes flashed with vigilance.
"What are you thinking of? Our Jin Family has never done such petty things! " Jin Yihan personally brought the secret cup of coffee, which he respectfully placed in front of Director Zhang.
He did not expect that the CEO of Jin’s Group would be so polite and considerate. Director Zhang's guarded expression eased a little.
Jin Yihan talked about the few items in Director Zhang's hands and even brought up a lot of pertinent suggestions. Director Zhang could not help but be shocked. These few projects were not considered a trade secret, they were obtained through legitimate bidding methods. He thought that he could get something out of it, but who knew that Murong Aotian was watching him closely. Even now, he still did not have a chance. Jin Yihan's few words that seemed to be unintentional woke him up, and he nodded in satisfaction.
"Why are you helping me?" Director Zhang narrowed his cunning eyes.
"I am good friends with your son Longbottom. Didn't he tell you? Although we hadn't known each other for long, we were very angry. I have a little business experience, so he wants me to help you. " The sincerity revealed by Jin Yihan moved Director Zhang.
"That kid, Lang Zhuo, did not mention anything to me. He is truly fortunate to be able to make a friend like you!" Director Zhang finally let go of his guard and took the initiative to stretch out his hand to shake Jin Yihan's.
Before Director Zhang left, Jin Yihan whispered a few words into his ear. Director Zhang's fierce-looking face immediately turned into a smile. Jin Yihan was indeed meticulous, just now when the secretary brought the coffee over, he only glanced at it a little, and Jin Yihan took the initiative to ask the secretary to wait for him in the hotel room.
Director Zhang had no other hobbies in his life, it was just that he liked beauties. The close-fitting professional suit on her body could even be described as sexy. Her curvaceous body and tender red lips made him swallow his saliva uncontrollably. How could he not be happy when such a woman was about to belong to him? His trip here today was truly fruitful, the Director Zhang smiled as he took large strides away.
The smile on Jin Yihan's face froze, a trace of coldness flashed past his eyes.
Stupid man, how can there be a free lunch! Friendship is no more than an excuse to whitewash and exploit relationships. If the Director Zhang could be used by him, then disintegrating Murong Aotian from the inside would be just around the corner. The arrogant and prideful Murong Aotian, I will slowly nibble away at your family business, and take all the capital that your Murong Family s are proud of. I can't wait to see what you look like when you're on the street!
The matter was progressing very smoothly. The beautiful secretary had only accompanied the Director Zhang for a few nights, and had revealed quite a bit of inside information about the Murong Group.
A few big projects, which were about to be closed down, were having problems one after another, and there was a huge shortfall in funding. There were rumors flying all around, saying that Murong Group was about to close soon, that even the stock market was in great turmoil, and that the Murong Group was sinking into an unprecedented crisis.
The first person whose Murong Family had lost her mind was her wife Fang Wenlan. After receiving a mysterious phone call, she started to silently pack up her valuable jewelry and jades, looking like she was about to run away. Her abnormality did not escape the eyes of the Old Master Murong, and he could not help but be suspicious. This woman had followed him for so many years, yet she was not even willing to shoulder such a small burden with him? Was love really worth nothing in her eyes?
"Is there a way out?" Murong Ye had been standing behind Fang Wenlan for a long time, but she actually hadn't realized it.
Fang Wenlan jumped in shock and unconsciously turned around. When she saw Murong Ye, his face immediately became pale and the books in her hands fell to the ground. She did not dare to pick it up, and only looked at Murong Ye in a daze.
"If you want to leave, I will not stop you! Just don't regret it! " Murong Ye smiled bitterly.
Fang Wenlan slumped to the ground and sobbed softly.
His old lover, Zhao Zizhou, who had always been well-hidden by her, had heard the news early on and kept urging her to fly away with him. To be honest, she couldn't bear to part with her home. No matter what, she could be considered a wife for many years, a wife with smooth Murong Family. Murong Aotian no longer bothered her, the old master was treating her pretty well, what more could she ask for? Hesitation, wandering, depression, she had been sad for several days, but her current behavior did not mean that she had made a decision. She was also very flustered and didn't know what to do.
"I just wanted to organize my things. I didn't mean anything else!" Fang Wenlan said hoarsely.
Murong Ye sighed lightly and did not ask any further questions.
Looking at the old master's figure slowly moving away, Fang Wenlan's heart could not describe what it felt like.
She was grateful from the bottom of her heart that the old master had allowed her to live a life of luxury and luxury for so many years, yet she was truly ashamed of him. She and his first love, Zhao Zizhou, had been secretly interacting. Murong Aotian knew that in the future, he had also warned her that he would try to take away her womb to prevent future troubles. She did not hate him now, and his failure to tell the old master was already his greatest indulgence, so she could not hope for more.
His phone rang, and it was Zhao Zizhou again.
"I've already bought a plane ticket to Singapore. See you at the airport at 8 o'clock this evening! Bring as much of Murong Family as you can. Their family … " Zhao Zizhou said.
Fang Wenlan did not listen to what he had to say as she hung up the phone expressionlessly.
She had already decided not to leave.
