Chapter 191: Each With Their Own Thoughts

I sought out the people the Old Matriarch had left behind; they were her confidants. We decided to plan the specific details. These next few days would be the most terrifying, as they were the days for Xiao Huan to process the inheritance. Once the inheritance was finalized, those people would have no more options. But if it wasn't finalized, the assets would still technically belong to the Old Matriarch, making it much easier for them to forge a will or find other ways.

For these few days, I ordered these people to follow Xiao Huan and me closely, and I stayed by Xiao Huan's side to prevent any accidents. After what happened, I figured Zheng Hong and the others knew the situation and would certainly not send ordinary people again.

At this moment, Zheng Hong was extremely anxious at home. He was discussing matters with Zheng Han. If it were in the past, the two brothers would never have discussed anything together, but now they had no choice. The people the Old Matriarch left behind were still very difficult to deal with, and one family alone couldn't handle it, not to mention the most formidable person in the Zheng family.

Zheng Han sat on a chair, holding a wine glass, shaking it slowly, and said with a smile to Zheng Hong, "Big Brother, what brings you to me today?"

"Enough, don't put on an act here. I'm looking for you naturally because of the Zheng family inheritance issue!"

Hearing this, Zheng Han's expression turned grave. He slowly placed the wine glass on the table and said, "Since you've come to me, you must have a strategy, right?"

"I have thought of a way, but I can't do it alone, so I need your assistance!" Zheng Hong said with a forced smile to Zheng Han, though what they were both hiding in their hearts, only they knew.

"In that case, what's the situation? How do we do it? What's the plan? Tell me!"

"That little bastard currently has many experts by her side, not least the people Mother left behind. The most difficult to deal with is Uncle Zheng. But I've already arranged for someone to handle him. On the day we act, Uncle Zheng will definitely not be by that little bastard's side. The rest is Yang Yun, who is by her side. That guy's skills are also quite good, and with some of the Zheng family's experts, it probably won't be easy to deal with!"

"Big Brother actually has the ability to keep Uncle Zheng away that day; you really have skills. But since Uncle Zheng won't be there, things will be much simpler. Yang Yun alone can't cause much trouble. I admit his skills are good, but so what? In this era, there's nothing money can't solve. Since Yang Yun wants to die, don't blame us. I've already hired assassins online to kill him. I believe someone will act in these two days. Once Yang Yun is dead, that little bastard alone is no match for us!"

"However, we must be careful. That guy seems to have some connection with the Zhuge family. I heard he gets along quite well with the little girl from the Zhuge family. To be safe, we should keep an eye on this matter ourselves!"

"Hmm, time is tight. Let's prepare to act in these two days; if we wait any longer, it will be too late!"

"Fine, but what about the Zheng family's assets afterward?" Zheng Han brought up their future plans, which was the issue they both cared about most right now; everyone wanted the best for themselves.

"As for the assets, that's easy. The companies you and I have already taken over will remain ours. As for the rest, we split it fifty-fifty!"

"Big Brother, you're a bit unkind. We both know the assets we've already taken over. The company you took over is definitely more than mine. Just the annual revenue of the subsidiary in your hands is more than the revenue of all the assets in mine. Aren't you trying to cheat me?"

"Hey, Second Brother, you can't say that. This is what I earned bit by bit following Mother and Father. The profits of these companies were also earned by my own hard work, so it's only reasonable they belong to me!"

"Although it's true you earned them bit by bit, they are still the Zheng family's assets, still Mother's inheritance. Since it's Mother's inheritance, it must be split fifty-fifty!"

Zheng Han clearly didn't want to concede so easily. One had to know that the companies in Zheng Hong's hands were the main assets of the Zheng family. If those were gone, the value of the Zheng family would shrink by half. He wasn't that stupid.

"Don't go too far. If it weren't for my hard work all these years, could the Zheng family be where it is today? These companies are completely mine!"

"Enough, don't put on an act with me. Don't think I don't know. The business of your companies relies on the old clients left behind by Father and Mother. Besides screwing your secretary in the office all day, what else do you do? Let me tell you, fifty-fifty. I won't do it for a cent less!"

"Second Brother, since you've put it this way, I don't want to say anything more to you. How about this, forty-sixty? I've at least made some contributions over the years!"

"Forty-sixty, that works. You get forty, I get sixty. If that's okay, then that's how we decide!"

"Zheng Han, don't push your luck! What have you done for the Zheng family? Why should you take fifty percent of the Zheng family's assets? On what grounds?"

"Heh? I'm pushing my luck? I haven't done anything for the Zheng family? What have you done? Don't talk about the achievements of your companies; I'm embarrassed for you just hearing it. Honestly, you and I are about the same. Don't pretend you've worked so hard. If you had really done these things for the Zheng family, would Mother not have left some of the family assets to you? To put it bluntly, Mother knew you were just like me!" Zheng Han said with disdain.

Hearing this, Zheng Hong's face turned livid, and he wished he could kill Zheng Han right then and there. But he knew it wasn't the time to fall out. The most important thing now was to strip Zheng Huan of her inheritance rights so they would have a chance to inherit; otherwise, all this talk was useless.

"Fine, okay, fifty-fifty it is. After we finish off that little bastard and Yang Yun, we'll split it!" Zheng Hong said angrily. Although he said this on the surface, he was calculating in his heart that once Zheng Huan and Yang Yun were gone, he would find an opportunity to get rid of Zheng Han. That way, he could inherit the Zheng family's assets all by himself—how wonderful that would be, rather than talking about percentages with others.

Similarly, Zheng Han was thinking the same thing as Zheng Hong. In fact, he had thought of this long ago, even when he hired the assassins. So, he had specifically given the assassins other tasks. When it came to being sinister and ruthless, this second son of the Zheng family was second to none among the brothers.
