Chapter 349: What does this mean?

Yes, I actually had guessed the same back then, so I didn't continue thinking about it, and then I quietly went downstairs to their Bin Guan, where I unexpectedly ran into Bo'er.

Did those two meet downstairs?

Besides, they weren't inside a room; the two of them had gone to the backyard of the Bin Guan, a place where nobody was, so I could hear their conversation crystal clear.

General Manager Xiao, what exactly did they say?

From what I heard them say, it seems they've been secretly colluding, and including his shares and Bo'er's shares, they plan to transfer them to us two, which is completely expected by them.

What? If you say that, does this all amount to a trap?

Yes, put bluntly, this is a trap.

But that doesn't make sense; logically, it shouldn't have been a trap then—look at how hastily he grabbed it, and just that alone doesn't seem like an act.

So that point makes me feel something's off; if it really were a trap, he shouldn't have hastily grabbed a knife, because harming Liu Peipei would be completely unnecessary.

Could it be just an unexpected complication? Was their original plan not like this?

Maybe so, and I'm now suspecting that when he received that call, it might have been to indicate that Liu Peipei is someone close to me.

You mean that was an informant's call?

Yes, it's very likely an informant's call, so he then became wary of Liu Peipei, and I believe everything he did afterward was a pretense, aimed at luring me into the trap.

It's terrifying; I never imagined the people behind him could arrange something so mysterious—so who exactly are these people?

I'm not sure either; the only thing I can think of right now is the JK Group.

JK Group, again JK Group—that means all these conspiracies now come from the JK Group, set up bit by bit by them?

Yes, that's very likely.

If that's the case, then what about Zong Long? In their eyes, what kind of outstanding person is he?

I suspect that Zong Long has now been completely abandoned by them, and even everything they and Bo'er have done is being carried out behind Zong Long's back.

That means they are now designing a frame-up targeting Zong Long, aiming to divert all attention onto him.

Yes, that's quite possible, but in my view, I and Zong Long are probably just pawns on their board.

If we go ahead with a direct purchase and transfer everything into our own names, wouldn't we then actually fall into their trap?

That's quite possible, but the key issue is I really don't know where this trap is set up, and besides, these shares have clearly been allocated over—could they still be fake?

General Manager Xiao, don't forget that everything we've obtained is foreign data, with no connection to the domestic market—could it really be that we've gotten some false content?

Fake? That shouldn't be the case, and I tell you, I verified those things back then—they are absolutely real.

Then it's strange: the things are real, yet they've dug us such a huge pit—what on earth is this all for?

So I've been agonizing over this all night, and I still can't figure out what actually happened.

General Manager Xiao, I think we must stop this immediately; if we keep going as we are, the consequences could be unimaginable.

Yes, I think the same, so I've already halted all payments today.

Then what next? What do we need to do?

Next, we need to quickly clarify the situation of these assets, and I've also heard an important piece of news.

General Manager Xiao, anything else?

In their conversation they mentioned that two important guests will arrive the day after tomorrow, and they'll be coming by water.

Important guests? Coming by water? What does that signify?

I'm not sure; I'm wondering whether these two people represent the JK Group and have already come here to arrange the next step of their plan.

Looks like that's probably the case.

So, don't do anything now; hurry up and investigate Tang Mu and Bo'er—what exactly is the situation with their assets, and if they're genuine, where does their authenticity lie?

Okay, I got it; then General Manager Xiao, what about you?

For now, I'll first stabilize the Zong Long side, and I know Zong Long is also being used as a pawn by them, so I can't focus all my energy on him, or we'll surely suffer a big loss later.

Then should we pay more attention to those two new guests arriving the day after tomorrow and start from them?

Yes, that's what I mean; it seems we've truly encountered a formidable opponent, and I feel I haven't faced something like this in many years.

General Manager Xiao, why do I suddenly feel that the pressure on me is getting heavier and heavier?

Yes, maybe this is just how it is, but we still need to face what must be faced.

As Xiao Ming's words fell, he heard a knocking sound from outside, and then he lifted his head to look in that direction.

Come, come in.

He could actually guess that the person coming here should be Xiao Yunzhe.

Because the whole company is now in a sealed state, aside from him and Assistant Ma coming here, the only others are Teacher Wu and Xiao Yunzhe.

As expected, the person appearing before him was indeed Xiao Yunzhe.
