“Oh? Boss Xu is threatening me?” Chen Anxiong squinted his sharp triangular eyes at Xu Mo upon hearing this.
“It can be considered a threat! After all, Fengxiang Jewelry is a family heirloom of the Xu family. If it falls into someone else’s hands, the Xu family will definitely not let it go easily!” Xu Mo said calmly.
Chen Anxiong laughed upon hearing this: “Family heirloom? It’s just a slightly larger company! This company is practically outdated! If I want it, no one can take it away, including you, Boss Xu!”
Xu Mo stared at him without saying a word.
“Boss Xu doesn’t think he can stop me from acquiring Fengxiang Jewelry’s shares, does he? I heard your relationship with the Xu family is quite strained. Have you resolved that?” Chen Anxiong began to dig into Xu Mo’s sore spots.
“Today, I just wanted to give you a warning! If you insist on reaching for it, I have no choice!” Xu Mo said.
Chen Anxiong laughed: “Boss Xu is quite sensible! Don’t tell me about family heirlooms and whatnot; even if it’s a family heirloom, what if it’s lost? I suggest you stay out of it!”
“It seems you’re not heeding my warning,” Xu Mo sighed.
Chen Anxiong smirked: “I admit you’ve done well in business, but you can’t control everything! In time, you might even end up calling me ‘brother-in-law’!”
Xu Mo’s eyes flashed with sharpness upon hearing this.
“What, don’t believe me?” Chen Anxiong said with a smug look. “Just wait! Maybe after I acquire the shares of Fengxiang Jewelry, we’ll become family!”
Xu Mo pondered for a moment and asked, “Xu Junzhe should be working with you, right? Where is he hiding now?”
“I don’t know where he’s hiding, but I can guarantee that you won’t find him! I say, you two are brothers, is it really worth fighting to the death over?” Chen Anxiong seemed to find the situation more interesting.
“Interfering in our matters won’t end well for you, you know?” Xu Mo said seriously, staring at him.
Chen Anxiong’s smile grew even broader: “Do you know? You’ve always annoyed me! What with being a wealthy magnate, a billionaire, and a genius—everything seems to be yours! You’re much younger than us, and it makes us lose face!”
Xu Mo frowned.
“Now, the big families in the capital are all talking about you and the Xu family! I have to admit, your fame is indeed substantial, and you’ve stolen a lot of our thunder. If it weren’t for you, maybe we’d be enjoying a bit more glory!” Chen Anxiong’s eyes showed strong jealousy.
“And then?” Xu Mo asked.
“And then? Just wait and see!” Chen Anxiong laughed. “Fengxiang Jewelry is very intriguing, a high-quality asset. Not just me, anyone would covet it—it’s bound to be mine!”
Xu Mo was silent for a moment before speaking: “Then I wish you good luck!”
“Good luck to you too!” Chen Anxiong said with a grin. “When I’ve sorted things out, I’ll invite you to my wedding! The wedding between me and your second sister…”
Xu Mo watched Chen Anxiong leave, his expression darkening immediately.
Chen Anxiong is backed by the Chen family, a powerful clan controlling rare earths, which makes things very tricky. If possible, he doesn’t want to offend the Chen family.
In this day and age, rare earths have a huge impact on high-tech fields, especially in chip production, where a steady supply is crucial. Offending the Chen family could seriously affect future tech development.
Xu Mo originally hoped that Chen Anxiong would back down in the face of difficulties, but it seems that Chen Anxiong is already firmly set against the Xu family.
Given the situation, Xu Mo decided there was no point in hesitating—he needed to take down Chen Anxiong first.
“Offending the Chen family might not have a huge impact on us! Our reliance on technology is still limited, and the chip industry hasn’t scaled up yet!” Tang Lei analyzed.
“Then let’s do it!” Xu Mo agreed without hesitation.
“Alright!”
To strike effectively, one must aim for the crucial point and make sure the job is done thoroughly. Xu Mo, with Tang Lei and others, returned to the office, pulled out the documents, and spread them out.
By dealing with Chen Anxiong, Xu Junzhe would lose a key supporter. Without this backing, Junzhe would struggle and attract a lot of attention from those looking to exploit his weakened position.
Xu Mo thought that sending Xu Junzhe abroad might be a good idea. After all, if Xu Junzhe were out of the country, it would be much easier to find an opportunity to eliminate him.
Killing someone abroad shouldn’t be too problematic.
Of course, considering the suffering Xu Junzhe had caused him in the past life, Xu Mo didn’t want his death to be too easy.
Xu Mo wanted his death to be more meaningful!
The plan needed to be executed step by step, slowly—just like the plan from seven years ago, essentially doing it again.
Alternatively, he could force Xie Bingyan to kill him again, or have Liu Kaikang do it, or even Xu Deming. Any option would work.
Xu Mo felt like a devil contemplating these plans.
…
While Xu Mo was making his plans, Chen Anxiong and Xu Junzhe’s deal progressed swiftly.
The shares of Fengxiang Jewelry didn’t require much assessment, so the evaluation could be completed in a few days.
Xu Junzhe, eager to offload the shares, was selling them at an 80% discount, which meant Chen Anxiong was making a considerable profit.
On the other hand, Liu Kaikang also wanted to sell his shares in Fengxiang Jewelry. With Xu Junzhe’s exit, Fengxiang Jewelry’s plans were effectively bankrupt, and Liu Kaikang could only hope to recover his principal.
Chen Anxiong, with his substantial financial resources, was keen on acquiring the shares Liu Kaikang held to gain complete control of Fengxiang Jewelry. He began to engage frequently with Liu Kaikang.
“What do you plan to do after offloading the shares?” Chen Anxiong asked Xu Junzhe.
“Take back everything that belongs to me!”
“Oh?” Chen Anxiong was surprised.
Xu Junzhe fixed his gaze on him and asked, “Are you interested in Pinduoduo Group?”
Chen Anxiong was momentarily taken aback but then burst into laughter: “I thought you’d be hiding away and not daring to show yourself! You still have this kind of capability? Has someone else been in touch with you?”
“Yes!” Xu Junzhe nodded, a sharp glint in his eyes, as if he were also experiencing a faint pain in his abdomen.
Chen Anxiong looked at him thoughtfully, then suddenly leaned in with a smirk and said, “Well, I have some good news to share. Do you want to hear it?”
“What good news?” Xu Junzhe asked, surprised.
Chen Anxiong, feeling smug, pulled out his wallet, took out a photograph, and handed it over with a sly smile: “This photo will definitely interest you and will be very valuable to you! It will be of great help!”
Xu Junzhe stared at the photo, took it, and his face went deathly pale as he looked at it.
“This…”
“Taken two years ago! It should be very useful to you, right?” Chen Anxiong said with a smug smile.
Xu Junzhe’s eyes flashed with cold anger, his fists clenched as murderous intent surged.
“Gao Cai’er…”
He was gritting his teeth in fury!
…
Meanwhile, at the Third Hospital in the capital.
Xie Bingyan had passed the critical period of her recovery, and the doctors had come out. She was still in a coma.
Old Master Xie and Old Madam Zhao, relieved to see that Xie Bingyan was safe, turned to Xie Zhen and said, “Second son, take me to see that child! After all these years, we should finally meet him!”
“It’s also Xie Bingyan’s fault; she never brought him home. I wonder if that child even recognizes us!”
“Indeed!” Xie Zhen said, helping them as they left.
…
Xu Wanting sat slumped in the hallway, tears flowing uncontrollably. She sniffed hard, gathering the documents.
She had just read through them again, filled with numerous details.
Even now, she still couldn’t imagine how much Xu Mo had once hoped for Xie Bingyan and for them.
