CHAPTER 404: CHAPTER 402: WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU CAN COMPETE WITH ME

"Sorry for bringing trouble to everyone. I’m here to catch the bad guy too. I didn’t expect him to use such a method to create chaos. The top priority is to get people to the hospital. Any damages, I’ll compensate!"

Ten minutes later, Jian Xi organized for the injured to be taken to the hospital.

Fu Shengyuan caught the man with the baseball cap and brought him in.

"It’s him!" someone in the crowd recognized him as the assailant and shouted.

The community security immediately apprehended the man.

"Are you alright?" Jian Xi stepped forward to check on Fu Shengyuan.

The man flicked her forehead with his slender fingers, "Can I understand this as you worrying about me?"

Jian Xi truly didn’t expect him to catch the person and solve her immediate crisis.

Her delicate face was pale with an unnatural blush.

Fu Shengyuan did not tease her further.

"We didn’t catch uncle; he managed to escape, but with this guy, I believe we can soon trace back to him."

Jian Xi nodded.

The people here are either wealthy or influential, all prominent figures, even if this person is tight-lipped, he can be made to talk.

"If there’s any news, I’ll let you know. You go back and rest early; I’ll handle things here."

During this extraordinary time, Jian Xi thanked him and left.

Secretary Xiaozhang approached and said, "It seems Ms. Jian is beginning to trust you gradually. Your efforts for her haven’t been in vain."

Fu Shengyuan let out a low, cold laugh, "Get rid of that man."

Having said that, he turned and left, with not a hint of warmth in his eyes.

......

Jian Xi returned to the Fuyuan Official Residence.

Wang Hao rushed out, "Ms. Jian, you’re finally back."

He staggered out, rubbing his head.

Jian Xi peered inside, "Where is Si Yuhuan?"

"He, he got away."

"What?"

Jian Xi really couldn’t believe it; Shang Fu actually brought Z Group people in to rescue Si Yuhuan. This guy was more ruthless, knocking Wang Hao out cold.

"I’m calling the boss!" Wang Hao was livid, his chest heaving, full of intent to retaliate.

The phone rang.

Si Yuhuan questioned, "What have you done?"

"What have I done? You should know very well! Si Yuhuan! You tricked me, colluded with Fu Wenxin and played me for a fool. We’re not done!"

Her eyes reddened with anger, "Hand over the child!"

Her voice was hoarse with rage, wishing she could tear Si Yuhuan apart.

She was furious to the point of trembling all over.

"Beep beep beep—"

The call ended with a dead tone.

"Si Yuhuan! You bastard, bring the child back!"

Unable to find Fu Wenxin and with Si Yuhuan escaping, she couldn’t imagine how they might use Mingming to retaliate against her. Jian Xi was frantic like a wounded beast, utterly confused about where things had gone wrong. One runaway after another, seemingly in control yet utterly defeated in reality.

....

Si Yuhuan arrived at an abandoned factory, looking at his phone that Fu Wenxin had shot with a bullet.

"Director Si, still have the leisure to chat with your little lover?"

Fu Wenxin, holding a silenced gun, stood on a discarded refrigerator, leaning on a cane with a sinister smile on his face.

By his side stood several experts from the Secret Gate, clearly trained martial artists by their robust physiques.

"I told you long ago, hand over Haohan Group’s shares to me, and I’ll give you Mingming. Then you can soar freely with that little bitch Jian Xi. Why expose me? Do you know it almost got me killed!"

This matter had nothing to do with Si Yuhuan, leaving him speechless.

"Enough with the talk; I barely escaped alive, here’s this for you, give me the child!"

He took out a document.

Noticeably, he was still wearing the clothes that Wang Hao had used to tie him back, full of wrinkles, looking somewhat disheveled.

Fu Wenxin didn’t even bother to take it, sneering, "Too late!"

Shang Fu erupted in anger, "Don’t push your luck, if Director Si gives the order, none of you will leave today."

"Oh? Really?"

Fu Wenxin smiled at Shang Fu, "I never thought Z Group would become Si Yuhuan’s lackey. However much he gives you, I’ll double it. It’s better to tag along with my Secret Gate than with him. After all, he will soon be a pauper!"

"What do you mean?"

Si Yuhuan frowned.

"Don’t you know? Jian Group, Yaowang Group, and Tianyao Group have allied to boycott Haohan Group, and Haohan Group probably can’t withstand this wave of attacks! Don’t forget, the reason you managed to acquire Salsi was for what!"

The secret to acquiring Salsi was Si Yuhuan’s promise that its market value would double within five years, and then he would return Salsi to Purda intact!

This allowed him to bet and acquire Salsi at the lowest price, surpassing Tianyao Group’s Fu Shengyuan.

Back then, his confidence lay in the top designer Luo You within Jian Group, believing Jian Group would never collaborate with Tianyao Group.

"One move, complete defeat, Si Yuhuan, you lost thoroughly, and you hold no value anymore."

Si Yuhuan calmly tore the document into pieces.

"Risking to come here, you didn’t just want to tell me this, did you?"

He truly hadn’t expected Jian Xi to collaborate with Fu Shengyuan.

The urgent task was to eliminate Fu Wenxin.

Fu Wenxin sinisterly went straight to the point, "Lay all your cards on the table, let me see what chips you have left. Tianyao Group must be taken back, I must be the top figure in China."

Fu Wenxin’s eyes burned with fierce desire, a fervent craving for power and the pinnacle.

"Why should I trust you?" Si Yuhuan retorted.

Fu Wenxin vehemently pointed at himself, shouting madly, "Besides me! Who else can you trust? Don’t forget, we are in the same boat, Jian Xi will never forgive you. Without absolute power, you have no chance to keep her by your side."

"Si Yuhuan, in some respect, we are the same kind of person!"

"I’ve been lurking for so many years, simply to strike surely, to become a true top existence, and you?"

"Without Haohan Group, you have no grounds for arrogance or pride!"

"Let’s cooperate!" he reached out, step by step approaching Si Yuhuan, "Together, we might have a chance to turn the tables."

Pa!

Si Yuhuan slapped away his hand, a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, "You? A defeated dog, worthy to discuss cooperation with me? What do you have to back it up?"

"Of course it’s......."

Fu Wenxin gave him a glance, "You trying to trick me?"

"If you don’t dare to say it, then forget it! I never thought I’d get plotted against by trash like you."

"I have an elite force from Secret Gate, and ten percent of Tianyao Group’s shares."

Si Yuhuan sneered disdainfully, "Just that? Not enough!"

Fu Wenxin, not even leaving bone shards, "Si Yuhuan, you speak of me, then what do you have? Without Haohan Group, what do you have to fight Fu Shengyuan and Jian Xi?"

He relies on me!

Bam!

The door was kicked open.
