Chapter 1663: Extending the Zhu Family Line 1

He now regrets not killing that woman outright last time, instead wanting to wait for her to wake up so he could torture her properly to avenge the Head of the Family.

As it turned out, the Head of the Family didn't even get to see her face; he was so scared he wet his pants just from hearing her voice.

Later, she even managed to escape successfully.

That damned woman Nianyin has a nose sharper than a dog's; no matter what method she uses, she always manages to find where they are hiding.

He felt very guilty and said to Zhu Qingrui, "Head of the Family, your subordinate is incompetent; please punish me."

"You cannot be blamed; that woman is simply too formidable. I have suffered many losses at her hands, and I know her methods."

Zhu Qingrui sighed, his tone extremely sorrowful: "I feel that sooner or later I will die at that woman's hands. In my current state, death is death, but the Zhu Family line will be broken in my generation. I have failed my father and my brother."

The butler said, "Continuing the family line is easy. Once we are settled, I will find a few beauties for you to enjoy."

Zhu Qingrui fell silent and said nothing more.

The butler suddenly realized something and hurriedly knelt down: "I am sorry, your subordinate spoke without thinking and offended the Head of the Family. Your subordinate deserves to die!"

When Zhu Qingrui was at the Ji Family, he had already lost the ability to procreate!

His suggestion just now was undoubtedly rubbing salt into the Head of the Family's wounds.

"Get up. It was an unintentional remark; what crime is there to speak of!"

Zhu Qingrui generously forgave the butler's offense.

Without the butler, he would not have everything he has now; even his life was saved by the butler through a brush with death. A mere remark was a trivial matter.

During those years at the Ji Family, what kind of harsh words had he not heard?

Would he care about this one?

The butler stood up and stood respectfully behind Zhu Qingrui, not daring to speak out of turn again.

As he remained silent, Zhu Qingrui muttered to himself: "Beauties still need to be found; they are pleasing to the eye. The Zhu Family has the finest genes in the world, so there is no need to rely solely on natural conception. Medicine is advanced now; there will always be a way..."

The master and servant on the boat hatched a vicious plan.

Zhu Qingrui wanted to find beauties, but not for "enjoyment"—it was to pull the wool over people's eyes.

He had heard that Huo Zhenteng's niece was very beautiful. Of course, that was not important; what was important was that Wang Qing was Sheng Zihan's ex-girlfriend.

If he could destroy one of the Sheng Family's children through Wang Qing, it would be killing two birds with one stone!

Huo Zhenteng was at his wit's end, his mouth covered in large blisters.

Sheng Hanyu was not bluffing; he had actually sued him!

He had already consulted a Lüshi, who said that in his situation, the chances of winning were very slim because a new trademark law had been introduced. For preemptive patent registration, not only would it be ruled invalid, but in severe cases, legal responsibility would also be pursued.

Did his case count as severe?

Huo Zhenteng had a clear understanding of himself: it did.

He had gone to Dingsheng to throw his weight around and cause a scene; although he hadn't gained any advantage, he shouldn't have gone to cause trouble in the first place!

Huo Zhenteng wished he could slap himself a few times. Why be so cheap? Why couldn't he keep his cool?

Why did he have to go find Sheng Hanyu?

He hadn't gained a single benefit, but now he had stirred up big trouble.

Just going to Dingsheng to negotiate with Sheng Hanyu wouldn't have been much, but the important thing was that he had also staged a bidding war!

The "inspiration" for the bidding came from Sheng Zichen.

Back then, Sheng Zichen had bid on the Chenxin Snack, tricking Xiao Huang and causing him to suffer a huge loss.

So he had prepared to use the same tactics against them, staging a bidding war to make Dingsheng suffer. Even the shills at the bidding were all thanks to Sheng Zichen.

It was Sheng Zichen who "gave" him the inspiration; he had only carried it forward on the existing foundation.

But why?

When others were scamming him, everything went fine, but when he prepared to retaliate, it didn't work?

Not only did the retaliation fail, but he also got himself into a lawsuit.

He had been so arrogant before, and now he was just as panicked!

This was all evidence. There was surveillance footage of him going to Dingsheng, and there were many witnesses to him holding the bidding to auction the patent for profit. It was an ironclad fact that he couldn't deny even if he wanted to.

He now realized why the boss had been so generous, giving up a patent worth over a billion without a second thought.

It turned out to be a hot potato; whoever grabbed it would get burned.

The boss had dumped this hot potato on him, and now that he wanted to dump it, he couldn't; he couldn't find a sucker to take it off his hands.

Now all of Jiangzhou knew that Sheng Hanyu was going to sue him. Let alone selling the patent, he couldn't even give it away.

Just as he was helpless and pacing in circles, the boss contacted him, asking if he was okay.

What was he busy with now?

He felt a surge of wild joy inside. He tried to suppress his excitement and, in as calm a tone as possible, told the boss that he was in a bit of trouble related to the patent.

The boss gave him an idea: to pin everything on him.

When in court, first see how things go. If the situation was very unfavorable, he should say that the documents were sent to him by someone, and provide the email address they had used at the time.

This would prove that the documents for the Environmental Water Purification Equipment were not stolen by him!

Stolen and found were two completely different things in nature.

"Can I do that? Can I really do that?" Huo Zhenteng was ecstatic.

If he could solve the problem this way, it would be wonderful.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought of it, he was just afraid the judge wouldn't believe him.

The boss said: "You can. My email account has been registered for a long time, and this account has value to them; they will believe it."

Huo Zhenteng was moved to tears, yet he hypocritically asked: "Then what about you? Won't you be in trouble? Why don't I take the blame? Anyway, it wouldn't be my first time in Prison."

"It doesn't matter. Just do as I say. I won't have any trouble. You don't know how capable I am..."

Zhu Qingrui boasted about how powerful he was, and even an old fox like Huo Zhenteng believed him.

The friendship of providing charcoal in snowy weather has always been the greatest; what the boss is doing now is exactly that for him, a life-saving straw, and he will grasp it tightly and never let go.

He said a great deal of grateful words, and this time the boss was very patient, even interacting with him.

The boss praised the achievements he had made in the past and comforted him by saying that one or two failures were nothing; if the two of them wanted to cooperate long-term, they had to understand and tolerate each other.

In other words, the boss still wanted to cooperate with him?

Huo Zhenteng was very happy.

But when the boss later proposed that he send his niece Wang Qing to the boss's side, he hesitated.

"Boss, my niece is still young and doesn't know how to do anything; she only knows how to make people angry and cause trouble. Let me change to someone else for you..."

Before he could finish his words of refusal, he was coldly interrupted by the boss: "So, you are unwilling, are you?"

"No, it's not like that."
