Chapter 266 - Destruction of the Hu's

Name:The Typhoon's Wife Author:har_k
Once Mi Rae was inside the door,Neil came to his senses and followed her.Knowing his brother could sense everything,he had trouble meeting his eyes and looking down entered the home..Alicia was greeting Mi Rae and thanking her for the basket.Alicia then came forward to give a big hug to Neil and then made a beeline towards the basket which was held in her hubby's hands.Extending her hands,she took the basket from Ryu and placed it on the mall nearby table.Like a small child,she opened it while peeping inside.Ryu shook his head in amusement..But then her face changed into a pout,"I did not get blueberries!",she accused Mi Rae."You don't love me!"

Mi Rae:".."

Ryu:".."

Neil was the only one happy and went ahead and peeped inside the basket.It was rice cakes!he he..Good girl..his Mi Rae..Umm he meant Mi Rae.Helping himself to one he said,"These are good!Why would you get blueberries?"

Alicia retended to sniff the air deeply and said,"Vinegar?Neil?And why are you stealing my rice cakes?"

Pouting she said to Ryu,"Hubby!You never give me blueberries!or even rice cakes!"

Ryu smiled at her and pointed out,"She is the one who gave.Missus!I am the one who should be complaining,you never gave me blueberries!"

Alicia was speechless for a moment but then replied,"So what!I will give you babies!who cares about blueberries!"tossing back about her head,she plucked a rice cake and bit into it.

"She will be giving those to Neil as well..",Ryu slowly murmured..

Meanwhile,Neil and Mi Rae,who were being discussed as if they were not here had only one expression: "..." while Mi Rae had turned a bright shade of red as well.

Narrowing her eyes,Alicia marched back to her hubby and pulling him down by the collar whispered something in his ear which made his eyes twinkle and forget all about the blueberries.

Soon they moved to the table.Neil and Mi Rae sat side by side at the table,rather awkwardly while Ryu and Alicia set the dishes on the table.They had gone all out for tonight's meal and prepared traditional dishes like spinach noodles,dumplings,stinking tofu,mutton stew,fried mashi and cold vegetables,etc.

Neil,who had not been hungry until now suddenly realized that he was famished and barely waiting for the others to sit,pounced on his meal.Even Mi Rae who was feeling shy about eating was urged to eat to her heart's content and Neil kept on adding meat or vegetables to her bowl until she finally had to pull away her bowl.After Neil had eaten some,he asked Ryu about the news.

Ryu leaned back in his seat and announced,"by tomorrow morning the Hu empire will have fallen on it's knees and little Alicia will be safe forever."

This caused Mi Rae to be so shocked that she almost dropped her chosticks and choked on the bite of food.Neil,on the other hand patted her back lightly with one hand and casually asked Ryu,"What have you done?And what about their employees?"

Smirking a bit,Ryu answered,"I did nothing,just lent a hand.There was already someone who was bent on destroying them.I just helped bring the time line a bit forward."

"Who?"

Mi Rae could feel her head go back and forth like a ping pong ball as Neil asked and Ryu explained.

"Hu Ge."

This caused even Neil to go speechless.Looking at their faces,Ryu explained,"Ever since Hu Ge came to know about the will he had been working on finding a way around it.After thinking it through he finally found a way.Little Alicia was useful to them as long as she was an heiress.But if the heiress in in name only and has no money then she is of no use.So he systematically started destroying the company from inside.Loss incurring deals,fraudulent projects,default of bank loans,etc.But before he could do much the elder hu found about Little Al's existence and the plan had to be delayed.Hu Ge had already transferred most of the liquid assets to another company hich he established.Another unknown fact is that most of the employees have already jumped ships to that company.Only those who are crucial or loyal to elder Hu are there and this company will soon take over the Hu headquarters with a new CEO on the lead.The workforce  will also be absorbed under this company.So basically everything mentioned in the estate will have to be sold off to pay debts after which the new company Ge-Wei Inc. will start the repair work.All the Hu family members will lose their place on the board and their shares will be cancelled.So little Alicia will only have a small trust fund in her name keft from the properties by Hu Ge and his late grandfather.Hu Ge will also go missing soon after.Those who have been loyal and good will be adequately compensated.So tomorrow they are going to file for bankruptcy.And soon after the banks and directors have teared them apart and taken their shares,Lance Inc will join hands with Ge-Wei Inc and help them with a hostile takeover.All the relevant papers will reach you tomorrow morning and you will have 48 hours to finish your work."

Neil nodded and then continued eating.But he was also the only one on the table that had not noticed that his other hand was still on Mi Rae's back and playing with her tresses.Noticing the sudden silence,he looked up and around in question.Ryu gave a pointed stare at Mi Rae and that is when he realized the position of her hand and immediately pulled it back as if scalded."
