Chapter 358: Betrayal

Xiao Yunzhe merely glanced back, unaware of what medicine Geng Jing Shu was selling in her gourd today.

Between them, there had already been some distance, and now he was suddenly being overly attentive, making him feel that he really wasn't quite used to all this.

"Wu Laoshi, I'm going to my room to get something, and my stomach feels a bit off."

"What? Your stomach feels off? That shouldn't be; I feel fine after eating, with no discomfort at all."

"Hehe, Wu Laoshi, I didn't mean it that way."

"Alright, go ahead and get busy."

After saying that, Wu Pengqing merely nodded lightly, then watched Xiao Yunzhe stand up and leave.

After arriving at his office, he hurried to stand by the window, because from that spot he could just see what was happening below.

He clearly saw Geng Jing Shu's car leave here, but she indeed headed due west.

That's wrong; if she wanted to go home, she should head due east, which is completely opposite to where she's going now.

If she were really returning to her maiden home, she would also head due east, then go south—she would never go west.

So, where exactly did he go tonight?

His mind began to race with wild thoughts, and in this situation he couldn't leave the company; forget it, maybe he was just overthinking.

Besides, they had been so kind as to send him all these things today; still doubting them here, frankly, he felt a bit guilty.

He could only shake his head and take the medicine, then glanced at the wall clock—it was already 8:30 p. m.

Geng Jing Shu never dreamed that at this moment Xiao Yunzhe had been secretly watching her, and now it seemed all her movements were under his control.

Heading steadily westward, they arrived at a newly opened suburban park, a place where few people usually appear.

Earlier he had already called Zhao Yixuan, and they had agreed to meet here.

This time, Geng Jing Shu had grown wiser; she didn't choose to meet at the Bin Guan, because she felt that frequent comings and goings there were indeed risky for people like them.

Upon arriving near the suburban park, he saw a car with its hazard lights flashing on the roadside, so he parked his own car behind it and then got into that car.

"How is Jing Shu? Did you suddenly summon me because you discovered something?"

"That's right; I just had you bring them food, and he and Wu Laoshi have been busy in the office all day—looking at it, they probably won't go home tonight."

"Then what are they busy with? Have you found out?"

"Take a look—this is it."

After saying that, he took out his phone and displayed those photos one by one before Zhao Yixuan.

Zhao Yixuan, being a businessman, had always been sensitive to such things; after looking through all the pictures, he finally grasped the general idea.

"I see—so that's what they've been playing with in their gourd."

"What does that mean? What exactly does the Xiao family intend to do now?"

"Let me tell you: they've completely changed their strategy. Before, weren't they talking about merging the Group? But now, while they are indeed merging, the direction is no longer the original Minghui Group."

"What do you mean?"

"On this basis they've established the new Mingzhe Group, and now all their focus has been shifted away from the Minghui Group—in other words, they are now dismantling Xiao Ming's former company."

"What? Dismantle? I haven't misunderstood, have I?"

"Exactly; if they dismantle it like that, the Minghui Group will end up an empty shell, and if we keep going this way, we'll really get nothing out of it."

"So, what now? What should we do?"

"Don't worry; now that we know this plan, I believe it's not too far off for us, but the data we previously obtained weren't core materials—now we need to gather these things again."

"Alright, tell me what else we need."

"The new reports—these data sheets—can't be used anymore, and there's a new one because they've already moved their assets out."

"Asset transfer—is it really that serious?"

"Of course; if they really intend to set up a new company, I'm sure it will be wholly under Xiao Yunzhe's name, and from now on that new company will have nothing to do with Xiao Ming."

"Xiao Ming, is he now giving everything to his son? That shouldn't be right, should it?"

"I'm not entirely sure either what this is all for; can't say it's all given, but basically between fifty and seventy percent should have been transferred to Xiao Ming's name, so if we focus our fire on Xiao Yunzhe this time, we might actually profit."

"Then, is the difficulty great?"

"The difficulty, naturally, should still be quite great—after all, they're establishing a new company on that basis, and there are no such retail investors or stock trading activity in the market, so gathering them would indeed be rather difficult."

"Have you figured it out? What should we do next?"

"I haven't fully worked it out yet, but if we want to carry this out, we probably need something else—everything must be coordinated well, and only then can we truly achieve our goals and ideas."

"Alright, whatever you need, I'll fully support you."

"Jing Shu, I'm now writing down a few file names on your phone; then, for anything with similar names, you find a chance to get them to me—once I have them, I believe I'll know how to proceed with this."
