Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 638 - 497: More Frightening Than Ghosts or Gods Is the Human Heart

Chapter 638: Chapter 497: More Frightening Than Ghosts or Gods Is the Human Heart

They were all calculating his next moves.

But who could have expected that the person Yin Shixiu would target wasn’t Guo Tong at all.

Guo Tong was too insignificant, so insignificant that even if he didn’t include her in his plans or say a word, she had already become the scapegoat for Yin Shiqing’s family.

For someone like her, why bother wasting effort to deal with?

The real target he intended to strike... was Shi Yuancheng’s eldest son—Shi Shengde.

Shengde Group started in the textile industry and is now the country’s leading garment manufacturing company.

Transitioning from mass production to fashion design, and now entering the high-end custom market.

Shengde Group naturally grew day by day.

Previously, Bai Sidong mentioned to him about the shady deals Shengde Group was involved in behind the scenes.

If Shengde Group’s smuggling and drug trafficking activities were exposed and uncovered, the entire Shi Family would be doomed.

And what about Yin Shiqing, who is closely tied to the Shi Family?

He’d also find it difficult to protect himself.

If he could really make a move in this direction, Yin Shixiu would save a lot of trouble.

But from another perspective, which organization is collaborating with Shengde Group in smuggling and drug trafficking? What is their background? And is Shi Yuancheng the only insider within the Official Dynasty?

He knows too little to risk Bai Family’s young uncle for his personal desires.

Even though anti-smuggling and anti-drug operations are part of Bai Family’s young uncle’s duties.

Thus, Yin Shixiu attacked from another angle...

He wanted to try a frontal attack to lure them into revealing their true colors.

"Shengde Group’s stocks are going to buckle. At this rate, before today’s closing, we can acquire about another ten percent of Shengde’s shares. Including the ten percent from the previous two days, we currently hold twenty percent of Shengde Group’s equity."

Mary stood up and walked behind Yin Shixiu, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, reporting to him.

"Twenty percent... it’s still too slow. Shengde lacks money the least. How much time until closing?"

"Twelve minutes."

"Twelve minutes, I need to see at least another five percent acquisition completed."

"Yes, boss."

Mary affirmed, and the stock traders surrounding the conference table heard the boss’s instructions.

Yin Shixiu continued to stand there, slightly tilting his face upward. Although the sunset was like blood, its rays still carried residual warmth.

After twelve minutes.

The entire conference room erupted with exhilarated exclamations,

"Finally got it sorted!"

The corners of Yin Shixiu’s lips lifted into a gentle arc as he turned around,

"Thank you all for your hard work. Once the acquisition of Shengde Group succeeds, there will be heavy rewards."

"Oh yes!"

Rewards from Yin Shixiu have always been highly coveted, and adding the words "heavy rewards" only pushed these stock traders into ecstatic cheers.

It was as if Shengde was already in their pocket.

"Tomorrow, everyone arrives early, here again. Dismissed."

After speaking, Yin Shixiu left the conference room first.

In the afternoon, he returned to the company to follow up on Shengde’s stock acquisition, completing fifteen percent of the equity acquisition in just one day.

Even if Shengde Group realized two days ago that someone was targeting Shengde, they didn’t take it seriously then.

But after today...

Shengde Group’s owner would certainly be restless.

Shengde Group’s stock plummeted, becoming the day’s most intense topic in the market.

And in Shengde Group’s chairman’s office, the sound of tea cups smashing to the ground was deafening, terrifying people.

"Still haven’t found out who it is?! What exactly are you doing!"

Shi Shengde’s fury couldn’t be contained by the thick glass walls of the chairman’s office.

The employees outside the office were terrified individually.

Being scolded harshly by the boss right at the start of work, how could they not feel exhausted?

"Report to the boss, all acquisition information is at top-secret level. It’s impossible to find out from the securities company, and judging by the stock exchange, it seems the opponent’s relationship with the exchange is far better than ours."

"Damn it! If I find out who’s secretly working against me, I’ll skin them alive! Completely screwed!"

Shi Shengde, enraged, swept almost all the documents off the table.

At forty-five years old, Shi Shengde was still robust and confident.

With a round beer belly, his black hair still luxuriant.

Too hot-tempered!

Shi Shengde couldn’t figure out who had the audacity to target Shengde Group.

His father was Political Commissar Shi Yuancheng. Wouldn’t dare due to him retiring this year from politics?

He also had a brother-in-law, Yin Shiqing!

Though his brother-in-law’s current situation wasn’t great.

Even that minor celebrity made some remarks in the media affecting his brother-in-law significantly.

The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection sent specialists to scrutinize Yin Shiqing comprehensively.

As well as reopening the case from last year involving the harm caused to the Yin Family’s daughter-in-law, leading to miscarriage!

"The directors have all arrived. Shall we proceed to the conference room for the meeting?"

The secretary cautiously suggested.

Shi Shengde took a deep breath and exhaled, striding out.

————

Yin Shixiu set a deadline of one week for the complete acquisition of Shengde Group.

Without a deadline, the Yin Family’s acquisition of Shengde wouldn’t be problematic, but one week was a startlingly short period.

Yin Shixiu knew it was challenging, but if it was only the Yin Family, it was indeed difficult, perhaps an unattainable task.

But besides the Yin Family, there was Elder Zeng’s help.

Even though Elder Zeng retired, his assets spanned worldwide.

Elder Zeng’s descendants continued to shine in various business fields.

With Elder Zeng’s assistance, the acquisition of Shengde became much smoother!

Su Xiaomeng stayed in the hospital for five days, then returned home.

Su’s father’s garden planting field was entering the final stage. He needed to be present for some closing work.

Xiao Meng survived the disaster and remained positive and lively, making Su’s father feel extremely gratified.

He didn’t stay long in London, quickly buying a ticket back to Beijing.

While Su’s mother couldn’t leave her daughter behind, insisted on staying in London to take care of Su Xiaomeng, fearing she wouldn’t eat well or get enough nutrition.

Su’s mother knew the servants here were more professional and knowledgeable than her.

Yet she... couldn’t leave.

Even staying to help care for Shuangshuang and Huang Huang was better.

Su’s mother refused to leave, Su’s father didn’t insist, and Su Xiaomeng understood her mother’s fright.

"Mom, you can stay as long as you like, I have no objections! I’m overjoyed!"

Su’s mother glanced at Su Xiaomeng’s smug expression.

They naturally knew about Yin Shiqing’s situation.

Su’s mother privately asked Yin Shixiu about Little Treasure’s untimely death. Su’s mother was truly shocked by the Yin Family’s elder’s malice.

Most shocking was...

Su Jifang’s daughter nearly killed her daughter.

They are family... yet such a difference!

"It shows how terrifying jealousy can be, more frightening than ghosts or gods is human nature... Even if you mean no harm, someone might still try to harm you, that’s the downside of being too exposed."

Su Xiaomeng always thought her mother’s words were right, but this time... she disagreed.

"One can’t completely hide their edge because they’re afraid of jealousy."

"She harbors malice and uses all means, only to gain nothing, while I’ve never harmed anyone, so even fierce fire can’t burn me."

Su Xiaomeng looked at her mother earnestly, her expression resolute!

Two similar-looking faces; one being slowly consumed by wrinkles, and one gradually shedding all naivety.

"You really dare to say that! Fire can’t burn you?! Are you a fire person!"

Su Xiaomeng barely flaunted for two seconds before her mother smacked her back to reality!

"It hurts... Mom... why are you so violent... I’m still injured..."

"I see you haven’t learned a lesson yet!"
