"Where does Si Moyan get his confidence? He actually has the nerve to say that as long as he's around, those people's companies won't easily go bankrupt? I think they'll go bankrupt even faster!"
"Exactly. Wen Yue just threw out a hundred billion. You can imagine how powerful the Rex family is!"
"Following Wen Yue is definitely the right choice!"
Three days later.
Wen Yan and Si Moyan went to the appraisal center together.
Wen Yan received the test results.
She didn't dilly-dally, opening the sealed bag directly and flipping to the last page.
The results showed that Wen Jinglou and the old man were biologically father and son.
Wen Yan's beautiful eyes lit up. She quickly handed the test results to Si Moyan. "Hubby, my dad is the true heir of the Rex family. Relio is just a fake."
[Hahaha, I'm really looking forward to seeing the scene where Wen Yue gets slapped in the face!]
Just as Si Moyan was looking at the results on the report, Wen Yan's phone rang.
It was a call from Wen Jinglou.
Perfect timing, she was just about to call her dad too!
As soon as the call connected, Wen Jinglou's anxious voice came through. "This is bad, Yanyan. When the old man followed me downstairs to buy groceries, a commercial van suddenly rushed over and forcibly abducted him."
Wen Yan's grip on her phone suddenly tightened. "It seems Relio has discovered the old man's whereabouts."
[But it doesn't matter. Fortunately, I prepared in advance.]
After hanging up, Wen Yan said to Si Moyan, "Hubby, today is the Si Group's shareholder meeting. You go attend it first. I will bring Old Rex over as soon as possible."
Si Moyan frowned slightly and shook his head. "I will go with you to save the old man."
...
Old Rex was kidnapped and taken to a forest in the suburbs.
His eyes were blindfolded, and his mouth was gagged.
He was forcibly dragged into a dirt pit.
Old Rex pricked up his ears. He heard the sound of a trigger being pulled.
It seemed this person was going to shoot him and then bury him in the pit.
Old Rex used all his strength to spit out the gag. "I know I can't escape this ordeal, but you have to let me die knowing the truth!"
Old Rex's tone carried a hint of humble pleading.
The man who was originally going to shoot him directly hesitated for a moment.
"Is that you, Jeff?"
The man standing above the dirt pit remained silent for a moment before crouching down and removing Old Rex's blindfold.
"Lord Duke, have you recovered your memory?"
Old Rex had recently taken the medicine Wen Yan gave him, and he indeed could intermittently remember some things.
The person in front of him who was about to kill him was his once most trusted subordinate, Jeff.
"Why did you betray me?" Old Rex's eyes welled up with red.
Jeff shook his head. "I didn't want to, but Relio captured my wife and two daughters. The lives of all three of them are in his hands. Only if you die and let him take over the Rex family can my wife and daughters survive!"
Old Rex's lips trembled. "Do you know why Relio wants to kill me?"
"Lord Duke, you shouldn't have doubted Relio's background. If you hadn't done a paternity test and hadn't come to China to find your biological son, you wouldn't have met this fate!"
"I'm sorry, but I have to send you to the afterlife!"
As Jeff's words fell, a deafening gunshot rang out.
...
The Si Group's shareholder meeting.
Recently, Wen Yue had been buying up massive amounts of Si Group stock.
Aside from the shares held by Old Master Si and the six Si siblings, the other shareholders had either sold their stocks to Wen Yue or defected to her side, supporting her to become the new chairwoman of the Si Group.
Si Jinxiao also held a 5 percent stake in the Si Group, and he likewise brought it out to support Wen Yue.
Now, the shares in Wen Yue's hands were almost equal to Si Moyan's.
As long as the number of people voting for her at the shareholder meeting exceeded those for Si Moyan, she could oust him from power.
Wen Yue and her entourage arrived at the Si Group.
The receptionists and employees all stood at the lobby entrance to welcome her.
"Greetings, Miss Wen!"
Everyone bowed to her in unison.
Wen Yue lifted her chin and walked haughtily into the exclusive elevator.
Seeing Wen Yue arrive, the shareholders of the Si Group stood up from their chairs in the conference room one after another.
"Miss Wen, congratulations. Once you take over the Si Group, our backer from now on will be the Duke's estate, right?"
"In the future, we will still need Miss Wen's help in the company!"
Wen Yue curled the corners of her lips. "As long as you are shareholders standing on my side, I will not treat you poorly."
Wen Yue walked to the head seat of the conference table and looked around.
Old Master Si came over with the Si siblings.
Old Master Si tapped his cane on the ground. "Who told you to sit there? Get down!"
Si Jinxiao walked behind Wen Yue. "Old Master Si, the shares Wen Yue currently holds, plus the shareholders supporting her, make her shareholding ratio about the same as you few. Even if Si Moyan came over, he wouldn't have the right to kick her out."
Old Master Si looked sharply at the other shareholders. Several of them had fought alongside him to build this empire in the past, and a few were his own sons.
"Si Jinye, Si Jinguo, Si Jincheng, are you all going to betray the Si family just like Si Jinxiao?"
Si Jincheng sneered. "Dad, you've always been biased towards Si Moyan. You handed all the company's power to him. What do we sons count for in your eyes?"
Old Master Si was so angry his white beard trembled. "Why did I let A-Yan take power? Isn't it because none of you are useful? A-Yan has a mind for business. If it weren't for A-Yan, would you be able to get huge dividends at the end of every year?"
Si Jincheng was unconcerned. "But Miss Wen said that if she takes over the Si Group, she will decentralize power. We can all take over the subsidiaries under the Si Group. That's much better than the annual dividends!"
"What kind of company can you idiots manage? With the company in your hands, it'll be finished sooner or later!"
He was furious!
These fools would probably be the ones to pull his oxygen tube in the future!
Wen Yue took out a few documents. "Uncles, I, Wen Yue, have always kept my word. Look, I've even prepared the letters of commitment for you. I'm not like Old Master Si; I believe in your abilities."
"Miss Wen, rest assured, even if Si Moyan comes, we will still support you!"
Wen Yue raised her wrist to check the time. "There is one minute left. If CEO Si doesn't show up, we will consider it an automatic withdrawal!"
Old Master Si glanced at Si Jingyi, who had been keeping his head down calling Si Moyan, and lowered his voice. "You still haven't gotten through to your oldest brother?"
Si Jingyi's handsome face was ashen. "Not yet. Could it be that Big Brother isn't coming?"
"With your oldest brother's temperament, it's impossible for him to shrink back or run away."
Seeing that Si Jingyi couldn't get through to Si Moyan, Si Yanli, Si Luochen, Si Yubai, and Si Youyou were all extremely nervous and panicked.
"Time is up. CEO Si hasn't arrived. He probably knows he can't beat me and has automatically withdrawn." Wen Yue curled her lips with full confidence. "However, the necessary procedures for a shareholder meeting must still be followed. So, those who agree to me becoming the new head of the Si Group, please raise your hands!"
Except for Old Master Si and the Si siblings, everyone else raised their hands one after another.
Old Master Si was so angry he was about to have a heart attack.
What a bunch of ungrateful wretches!
He was instantly consumed by regret. Back then, he should have just agreed to let Ah Yan start his own company instead of guilt-tripping him into staying.
In truth, he had known for a long time that the Si Group was rotting from the inside out. If Ah Yan hadn't taken charge so forcefully and turned the tide, the corporation would have been torn apart long ago.
Now that Ah Yan had successfully built the company back up, all his hard work was just being stolen to benefit someone else.
And these shareholders, these so-called uncles who had profited from his grandson's efforts, had all turned into poisoned arrows, ruthlessly stabbing him in the back.
At the same time, Old Master Si was filled with deep remorse and self-blame. He never should have taken multiple wives and mistresses back in his youth. He had failed to set a good example, leaving the family completely divided, and now it had ultimately harmed his eldest grandson.
"Next, I will announce the new head of the Si Group..."
Before the lawyer brought by Wen Yue could finish speaking, the doors to the conference room were suddenly shoved open.
Seeing the person who walked in, everyone in the room froze in absolute shock!
