Chapter 82

In an instant, everyone felt a chill at the back of their necks.

The fear they had almost forgotten suddenly swept over them in an instant.

Yan Moci gave a light laugh: "I left the Yan clan five years ago, and yet you've all turned spineless."

He turned his head to look at Dongzi standing aside, his voice sounding as if it had been quenched in ice: "Bring Dongzi out, let them see for themselves."

Seeing the thick stack of folders in Dongzi's hand, Zi Xin felt uneasy and asked hurriedly:

"What are these..."

Before Zi Xin could finish her question, she suddenly saw the small shareholders who had received Dongzi's documents—those who had just sworn to stand with her—now scrambling with various excuses:

"Sorry, Chairman Yan, I suddenly remembered I have something at home, so I'll leave first."

"I welcome your recovery with the utmost joy!"

"Moci, I've watched you grow up since you were young; you're talented and ambitious—this chairman position truly belongs to no one but you!"

"Chairman Yan, I wish you health and smooth sailing; I hold only 0.2% of the shares."

"Just say the word, and I can transfer them to you right now!"

Zi Xin couldn't believe it—what did Dongzi show them that made these old slickers instantly change sides and even willingly give up their shares?

Yan Moci already held 50% of the shares; let alone 0.2%, even 0.01% would give him absolute control over the Yan clan's voice.

Zi Xin, incredulous, wanted to snatch the documents from their hands, but those old men, corrupted by drink, lust, wealth, and qi, suddenly clung to their papers like madmen.

They didn't even care about Zi Xin's status, as if those documents were their very lives.

Moreover, seeing Zi Xin still unwilling to relent, they clutched their documents tightly and fled the meeting room as if running mad.

In an instant, as those small shareholders left, only Zi Xin, Liu Huanyu, and Huanyu's cousins Sun Tian Yang and Sun Zi remained.

Zi Xin's eyes were red; she demanded of Yan Moci, "What exactly did you show them?"

Yan Moci snorted coldly, "Everyone has their own secrets; I merely shared theirs with them."

"Zi Xin, do you think that when a person's most cherished thing—even their life—is at stake, they'd still have the leisure to help you fight for a chairmanship that was never yours to begin with?"

Zi Xin gritted her teeth: "What do you mean? We share the Yan surname—why can't this position belong to me?"

Yan Moci turned his head to look at Zi Xin: "Those people who just agreed to support you were relying only on your grandfather's shares and the benefits you could promise them after taking power."

"But have you ever considered that perhaps from the very beginning, your grandfather's shares no longer existed?"

Zi Xin's pupils widened instantly: "What do you mean!"

Yan Moci smiled, leaned back in the chairman's chair with an air of calm superiority, and passed a death sentence on everyone present,

"My hand has always held 80% of the Yan Group's shares."

"As for the supposed 30% your grandfather held, it was nothing but a smokescreen to balance you all along."

Zi Xin staggered back in shock: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"I clearly saw in my grandfather's study safe that he held thirty percent of the shares!"

Yan Moci's gaze instantly turned harsh; he looked at Zi Xin with a mocking eye: "That was merely a fake share register, Zi Xin—you certainly didn't disappoint me."

"That share register was meant to hook you, and you certainly took the bait."

"One misstep, and every step after is wrong."

Zi Xin had always considered herself shrewd, yet she hadn't realized she had long fallen into Yan Moci's trap.

And this trap had been set by Yan Moci even five years earlier!

If Yan Moci hadn't been in a coma for five years, perhaps she would have already been stripped of all her wealth by now!

Yan Moci, why didn't you die together with your unlucky, ill‑fated mother back then!

The resentment in Zi Xin's heart could not be concealed no matter what.

On one side, Liu Huanyu saw that Yan Moci's reclamation of the Yan clan was now a foregone conclusion, and she immediately turned her guns on Zi Xin:

"Zi Xin! You're really too foolish—how could you sneak a look at the old man's shares!"

"The old man is still in the hospital; if he knew what you did today, he'd truly be heartbroken!"

Zi Xin gave a cold laugh, turned her head to Liu Huanyu, and said, "You whore—what makes you think you're fit to say these things to me?"

On the side, Sun Zi and Sun Tian Yang saw Liu Huanyu being humiliated by Zi Xin like that, and their faces instantly fell,

but now they could barely look after themselves, for they noticed Yan Moci's gaze had fallen upon them.

"Sun Tian Yang, Sun Zi?"

Sun Tian Yang immediately gave an apologetic smile: "Yes, yes, Moci, I'm your maternal uncle."

He slapped Sun Zi beside him sharply: "Come on, call me elder brother!"

Sun Zi bowed and nodded: "Elder brother."

"Hmph." Yan Moci turned his head expressionlessly and said directly to Dongzi, "Throw these two out for me.

"Send them off to Vietnam immediately, and never allow them to return to the country for the rest of their lives."

Dongzi nodded: "Yes!"

Liu Huanyu, who had just been making sarcastic remarks, instantly changed color upon hearing Yan Moci's words.

She cried out in shock: "Moci! What are you saying! How can you do this!"

"I know you hate me, even if we have no blood relation, but these are your maternal uncle and cousin!"

Yan Moci gave Liu Huanyu a weary glance, unable to fathom how a foolish woman like her could have won his father Yan Cheng's heart.

Just as he couldn't understand how someone who once could shake his mother's position could be so stupid.

He ignored Liu Huanyu entirely, and the moment Yan Moci showed a look of disgust, Dongzi moved without hesitation.

Sun Zi had once taken part in driving Dongzi out of the company; in his eyes, Dongzi was nothing but a dog of Yan Moci, and he had never regarded him seriously.

But now, seeing Dongzi approach him with a blank expression, he couldn't help but feel his legs tremble.

He repeatedly begged: "Dongzi, I was wrong before—please let me go!"

But unexpectedly, Dongzi coldly laughed and then told him:

"Sun Zi, before you get kicked out, the boss still has some other scores to settle with you."
