Du Feiyang watched intently from the company, the live broadcast with Xie Sui was incredibly exciting, finally bringing a sense of triumph.
Xie Sui was also present, but not at the company. He was at the teahouse across the street, watching the spectacle unfold with Lin Wanwan.
Now, she and Sheng Ruyi were inseparable, practically joined at the hip. Xie Sui felt a pang of jealousy. His rival from a past life, someone he'd always clashed with, was now his wife's best friend. It was truly baffling.
"Wanwan, have some shrimp dumplings."
"No need to give me any, I've had enough. Du Yujie is finished this time; she won't have any face left to stay in Hong Kong."
Sheng Ruyi said, "She's also quite pitiful. It's truly terrible for a woman to go through something like this."
Xie Sui replied, "Don't pity your enemy. If you knew what she'd done, you wouldn't feel sorry for her at all.
This woman truly can't help herself. I warned her to behave and not to provoke me, but she wouldn't listen."
Sheng Ruyi finally understood, "Were those the two people you found?"
"They came from the mainland. I just made the connection. This matter would have passed, but she insisted on disgusting my brother. So, I had to disgust her."
Lin Wanwan knew the details of what had happened. "Were those two awful people released so quickly?"
"Human traffickers don't even get the death penalty. They were the buyers. A two-year sentence is already very heavy. And that old woman, being so old, her sentence was reduced further. With a bit of money and connections, they got out.
But those two were also blinded by greed, and they deserved to die.
To torture someone so terribly, they had no humanity. The law couldn't punish them, so they sealed their own doom. They're finished this time.
Daring to come to Hong Kong, don't they know what kind of place this is?"
Sheng Ruyi glanced at Xie Sui, stirring the porridge in her bowl, but not eating much.
The outside finally quieted down, but this was just the beginning. The latest newspapers were all about Du Yujie's scandal, infuriating her to no end. Sudan Fiction Network.
Du Feiyang wanted to kick her while she was down and mock her. Xie Sui told him to change tactics. With Old Master Du falling ill, internal conflict wouldn't sit well with the board. It would be better to play the good guy and help Du Yujie once, earning some goodwill.
After all, Du Yujie's reputation was utterly ruined. No respectable family in Hong Kong would marry her; she was effectively finished.
It was better to do her a favor and boost their image.
Du Feiyang thought it made sense and gathered his men to deal with that mother and son, daring to cause trouble on Du family territory. Did they think the Du family was easy to bully?
Du Feiyun was in a panic, how was he supposed to handle this?
Du Yujie had become deranged, "It must be Xie Sui. I'm going to kill him."
"What's the use of saying that now? Where's the evidence? You should go abroad to lie low for a while, change your environment, and come back later."
"If I leave now, I'll have nothing. I'm not leaving."
The assistant came in and said, "Young Master, Young Master Feiyang is bringing people to find those two. He says he's going to kill them and avenge the third miss."
The assistant looked at the third miss with pity. The third miss was too tragic. No wonder she went missing in the mainland for so long; it turned out she'd been sold.
"What are you looking at? Are you laughing at me?"
The assistant quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm not. Third Miss, please don't be angry."
Du Feiyun came out and stopped Du Feiyang. Stirring up trouble when the spotlight was on them, were they afraid the world wouldn't know it was their family's doing?
"Big Brother, don't stop me. They've bullied us to our doorstep. While I don't like Third Sister, we're family. I can't swallow this insult."
Du Yujie came out and said, "Fine, you kill them, and from now on, you'll be my real brother. I'll do anything for you."
"Yujie, are you crazy?"
Du Yujie replied, "You don't know the suffering I've endured. I am crazy. They drove me mad. Big Brother, if you're my brother, don't stop me."
Du Feiyang fanned the flames, "Exactly! A real brother, if you don't avenge your sister, what kind of brother are you? You all listen to the Young Master. They're just two country bumpkins from the mainland. If they die, they die. Throw them in the sea to feed the fish. No evidence whatsoever."
Du Feiyun was furious, "Who are you trying to fool? Don't think I don't know. You were the one who brought those two here. You're taking revenge on us.
Yujie, can you calm down? It's not that I won't help you, but the timing is wrong."
Du Feiyang said, "I won't take the blame for this. It really wasn't me, I swear."
He had gone with He Mengchao, and the plan was Brother Xie's. It really had nothing to do with him.
Du Feiyang cleared himself completely and swore without any guilt.
Du Yujie looked at him suspiciously and calmed down a little. "Their arrival was indeed strange, but that's perfect. If they want to die, I'll oblige them. They won't be leaving."
The board convened once again. Due to the inheritance dispute, the Du family's stock had been plummeting. If it wasn't controlled, it would lead to real chaos.
It was time for decisive action. The elder members of the board had grim expressions. Du Feiyang didn't dare to be reckless and sat down obediently.
"Young Master, how is the Third Miss?"
"She's a bit emotional. Esteemed uncles and elders, they are slandering us. This is all false, please don't believe them."
The most senior shareholder, Old Master Huang, said, "Truth or falsehood is not important. What's important is the massive impact of this incident. Young Master Wu caused trouble with an illegitimate child before, and now this has happened again. The reputation of our Du Corporation has been ruined.
We propose a vote to select an heir. A decision must be made immediately."
Du Feiyun sighed, "Alright, then you can vote."
"Wait!"
Du Feiyang stood up and declared, "I've decided. Big Brother will manage the group, and I will withdraw."
Everyone was stunned. Had the Fifth Young Master lost his mind?
Du Yujie also found it hard to believe, "Fifth Brother, are you really withdrawing?"
She was unsure, hadn't Du Feiyang orchestrated this?
"Yes, I will withdraw, but I have one condition."
"State it."
"I want the group to invest ten billion yuan in me, and I want to establish a Du family branch company in the mainland. You must support me.
Also, regarding our previous bet, I won, and I must receive the five percent of shares."
The others nodded, "This is feasible. The mainland is developing rapidly now. Some small companies have made a lot of money by going there. Our Du family should indeed try our luck in the mainland.
As for the shares, with the Old Master's approval, we can promise that we will support you in reclaiming your shares in the future."
"Alright, thank you everyone. There's no time to waste. As soon as the money is in my account, I will leave."
Du Feiyun's face turned ashen. It felt like punching cotton. The board was now extremely satisfied with Du Feiyang. Even if he could manage the Du Corporation, without shares, he wouldn't be able to win over people's hearts. Could he truly hold onto this position?
Well done, Du Feiyang, you're becoming more cunning.
He wouldn't believe it if no one was guiding him behind the scenes.
But as things stood, Du Feiyun had lost completely.
