Chapter 238 - Something Is Off By His Sudden Disappearance

In the busy City A, after one night, it was filled with various sensational news.

First, it was about the unexpected death of Mr.Guo and second, it was about the Yue Crop's stock price plunging and getting into a dilemma.

...

The news of Mr.Guo's death had flooded on the internet for a day before it got washed over by the news regarding Wei Wan taking control of Mr.Guo's shares and property.

Everyone expected that she would make a big scene at Yue Crop or accuse them of her husband's death, but nothing that anyone predicted had happened. Instead, she sold her shares to some anonymous person secretly and stayed in a secluded area, hidden to the world.

When the news about the shares being transferred reached Yue Wan, she just pondered for a minute before ordering the Tao (or Cobra) to hack into Mr.Guo residence surveillance and Wei Wan's association. 

And to her surprise, the last person who had contact with her was none other than her stepbrother, the Second Young Master of Wei Jing  (He was the one that was madly in love with Lu Meili)

Clicking the mouse to zoom in, Yue Wan closely examines the person's face: "Who is he working for?"

A voice from the video chat replied: "Mistress, I was unable to hack into that detail. Every time I track that anonymous person my system gets crashed by an unknown virus."

Knowing that the other party had strong defensive technology, Yue Wan ordered him to lay back for a while and made a call to Tai Sun to help her out.

She knew that the damage caused by Mr.Guo's death had the potential to shake the whole of Yue Crop. 'What the hell is this Wei Wan is thinking?'

...

In the Yue Crop...

Due to the unexpected crisis that happened in the Yue Crop, the stock price had been on a constant downturn. At the same time, the Empire project which was working under Yue Xiang canceled their contract and changed their preference to work with the Li Crop.

The shareholders made some commotion to remove Yue Xiang as the project lead and some even suggested kicking him out.

Meanwhile, Yue Xiang left the country right after the crisis was broken out and no one knew his destination.

As the news traveled about Yue Xiang fleeing the country, it made some people happy, most notably, the Li family's Master, Li Zhi. After his son's imprisonment, the Li Crop was not about to get their hands on any powerful project and his son's marriage with Yue Xue didn't shake the Yue family as he expected. 

Nevertheless, Mr.Guo's death brought him a great deal. So, in order to celebrate it, he even gave a big party in a lavish hotel the next day.

Standing at the balcony, two figures were in deep discussion.

Yue Xue in her backless party dress clicked her glass of wine with Li Rong and expressed her congratulation: "Perhaps you're right! This marriage contract might come in handy soon."

Li Rong took a sip, "I want to see what kind of trick that b*tch has up her sleeve this time. Under her innocent appearance, she is hiding a devious plan."

Yue Xue chuckled: "You are wrong on one part. She can fool others, but she can't fool me! Also, I want to see who will help the Yue family at this time. Will it be the new Xiao Heir?"

"Why him?"

Touching the rim of her half-empty glass, Yue Xue's eyes narrowed: "Don't you feel that he looks familiar to someone who worked in the Yue Crop. I feel something is off by his sudden disappearance."

After hearing this, Li Rong was a little shocked. He pried into his memory and found nothing, except that night where he was punched by the Mysterious Man: 'Is it him!?'

After a second, Li Rong scoffed as he shook his head: "She followed me like a puppy for four years, so I know the people who were close to her. This man doesn't exist in her books."

Revealing her slender back, Yue Xue mocked: "What about the time when you got kicked out of her book?"

Smirked, Li Rong ran his finger from her shoulder and slid it downward: "How about we discuss this in my private room?"

Facing him, Yue Xue clicked her tongue: "You will be disappointed very much with that discussion, Mr.Li."

After a pause, she continued: "I do not want to constantly repeat myself and I have made it very clear, this is just a contract. Don't cross the line." 

Saying that she moved back into the party with a darkened expression.

Gulping down the drink in one go, Li Rong sneered: "These Yue b!ches are hard to satisfy."

....

However, the Li family's happiness was short-lived. After two days, the exclusive chairman of PISAC International, Mr. Xin personally came and offered to invest in Yue Xiang's project as he was satisfied with his design. 

This news shook up the whole City. Nobody knew the president of the PISAC, but there was a rumor that he the most dangerous man in this world who could match Xiao's power.

Following that he offered 2 billion dollars as an initial investment, after the success of the project, there would be more. After hearing this number, the Yue's shareholders looked at each other in shock. This amount of investment was no small amount, it made the company's market value rise to over 30 billion dollars; that made their shares rise significantly by 7%.

This change in circ.u.mstances put Yue Xue in a dilemma. Throughout the entire situation, the Xiao hadn't made a move, which made her feel insecure. Sitting in her room, she crushed the newspaper: 'Did I miscalculated it! Damn it... I need to crush this ill-blood as soon as possible!'

As for the Li family, they were both frustrated and envious. Soon they became the subject of ridicule and Elder Li was almost fainted due to a sudden surge of rage.

Moreover, Tai Technology also revealed that they were chipping money into the Yue Crop's project. They established a long-term strategic partnership, which would benefit the Yue's on a great scale! The deal was even signed under Yue Wan.

The higher-ups of the Yue Crop were very excited as they had a heated discussion amongst each other.

"Due to Young Master Xiang, our company share value will rise by at least 10%, right?"

"10%? Absolutely more than that, three raising limits at least!"

"Master Yue, your children both made such a marvelous effort for the company!! Two huge investments in just two days."

Yue Yeager was full of pride.

After the deep discussion, Yue Yeager and the other shareholders voted Yue Xiang as the board of directors, and rights to participate in strategy conferences. 

Through the economic battle, it was not just the potential that Yue Xiang had shown but his true combat capability, almost no one could match up to his intelligence. 

...

After some days, the internet was bursting with fireworks when a reporter posted a picture of the Su family entering the Xiao villa. 

In the picture, Su Yunying was entering the Villa with a huge smile on her face. Her movements were perfectly elegant and she was good-looking. Her eyebrows were delicate and her eyes were huge. With a cute nose and sharp little chin. She really took a lot of time to dress herself up, with those pink lips and smiley eyes, she looked like a doll.

----Inside-the-car---

Before getting out of the car, Su Dingfang looked at his granddaughter: "Do you understand what does the position as the future madam of Xiao family means?... Elder Xiao would not allow anyone to marry his grandson. So you should try to impress HIM."

With a tint of blushing on her cheek, Su Yunying said: "Grandpa, dont worry. I won't let this opportunity pass."

Su Dingfang's expression softened. "That's more like it…that woman, is she really that close to the Xiao?"

Su Yunying nodded unhappily.

Su Dingfang gave his grand-daughter a pat on the back. "Don't forget that you know HIM during his childhood days as for that woman.... she got linked to the Xiao by merely luck which won't last long."

"Grandpa, I understand." Su Yunying's annoyance faded hearing that.
