Chapter 310: I Want to Replace You

I've thought about it, I've dreamed of it, but I'm telling you, I'm afraid that after taking revenge I'll lose even more, General Manager Xiao. Do you know? Do you know what it feels like to lose a loved one?

I know, I understand, but this kind of thing is happening right before my eyes, so I absolutely won't allow it to continue; I must give you a proper explanation.

General Manager Xiao, if you're really doing this just for me, I think you don't need to; so many years have passed, and honestly I'm doing fine on my own.

I've decided; if that's the case, then we'll follow these financial conglomerates step by step.

General Manager Xiao, what are you going to do?

Aren't they just trying to push all the blame onto me? Aren't they just trying to make me completely oppose the JK Group? But if that's the case, I might as well walk right into his trap.

General Manager Xiao, don't forget, back then you were facing a huge financial consortium, and a very malicious one at that.

I know, I certainly know; if we hadn't met him this way, I believe we might never see each other again in our lifetimes. This is an opportunity, and indeed the only one, so we absolutely cannot give it up.

After saying that, Ma Zhuli simply lowered his head slowly.

His mind began to race; faced with this situation, what should he do?

General Manager Xiao, are you sure you've decided?

That's right, I've decided. Before I even mentioned the JK Group, I hadn't thought this way, but now I feel it's time to change some strategies.

Fine, if you want to do it, I'll go with you; at worst, it's just death.

Alright, I understand. Besides, we're not at that point yet, and fifteen years ago we were in a different situation; maybe we didn't strive to oppose them then, but things are different now, right?

Okay, I got it, General Manager Xiao.

After saying that, Ma Zhuli merely nodded lightly, and in the end the two of them tentatively settled the matter.

When he appeared again before that foreigner, the foreigner merely looked at him with fear.

It seemed as if he were waiting for his own death sentence.

Do I now have no use left for you?

He raised his head and looked at Xiao Ming, asking.

A faint smile appeared on Xiao Ming's face, but no one knew what was hidden behind that smile.

Well, how come you say that?

No, I just feel that way; and if I lose my purpose, maybe you'll kick me aside, maybe that's my ultimate fate—though it's a pity I still have many things abroad left unsettled.

What? At this moment, are you thinking of your family and your overseas career? And when Zong Long summoned you here back then, why didn't you think of all that?

Back then I just thought, since he could plan all this and command victory from afar, I believed our plan should be fine.

Heh, your wording is quite fitting, but I'm giving you a chance now—I don't know if you can seize it.

What do you mean? What do you want to do?

If I don't hold you responsible for this, will you listen to me?

What? You're not going to pursue me? I didn't mishear, did I?

You didn't mishear, because I've come up with a better plan; if you can carry it out as I say, I'll treat this as if it never happened.

You, what are you having me do?

That guy had a vague feeling that something bad was about to happen.

You should know, that woman might be truly important to him.

Moreover, I've hurt him now, yet he could let me go in an instant?

This is completely unlike the Xiao Ming who just arrived here.

He couldn't figure out what he had thought of.

I want to ask you, if you two have a cooperative relationship, then surely those things wouldn't be in just one person's hands, right?

That's only natural; if Zong Long alone could grasp all this, do you think he'd still summon the two of us here and do this?

Could it be understood that you're dividing these assets into three shares, with each of you holding one?

Exactly, each of us holds corresponding shares, and the funding chain behind us remains tightly linked.

Well then, what if I want to take your place?

What? Take my position—what are you planning to do?

Let me tell you, once those conglomerates set their sights on you, the consequences are unimaginable; besides, this plan simply can't be carried out—do you understand?

I certainly know that; if you hadn't noticed all this earlier, maybe we could have kept going, but now I'd say there's little hope left.

Then if that's the case, what's the final outcome?

Bankruptcy, utter defeat, possibly even fleeing into exile.

All right, I'm giving you the best opportunity now; if you can seize it, you won't need to worry about these things anymore, and you can take some money abroad to live a carefree life.

You mean you want to take my position and then take my shares?

That's right, but you can't leave just yet; only after I've truly replaced all of this can you then depart.

But do you know how much I control?

That has nothing to do with me; I'll just give you a sum of money and let you take your family and flee far away—if you choose that, we can continue talking.
