BXBX NOVEL Chapter 24 Tian Wen's Despair
"Heh, Young Master Ye, this whole affair has been a misunderstanding. I didn\'t know you were acquainted with such an authoritative figure. How about this: I\'ll take you out for a drink as an apology, and we can let bygones be bygones, alright?"
All present changed color. Tian Wen was the son of the prominent Tian family, with a status even higher than that of the Su Family Head. Yet, he was actually kowtowing to Ye Ling, the son-in-law who was considered an outsider—this was simply unbelievable!
Su Rou\'s face lit up with joy as she excitedly grabbed Ye Ling\'s hand and said, "That\'s great, Ye Ling, since Young Master Tian has admitted his mistake, let\'s put this matter to rest!"
"Yes, Ye Ling, for someone of Young Master Tian\'s stature to offer us an apology is quite a face-saving gesture!" The people of the Su family nodded in agreement, secretly breathing a sigh of relief in their hearts.
The prestigious Tian family, they were figures of high authority indeed. They had originally thought that the Su family was doomed, but who would have thought that Ye Ling knew the governor, forcing Young Master Tian to apologize.
"Heh, apologize? You offended my wife, and you think a simple apology will spare your life?" Ye Ling said coldly, his eyes filled with disdain.
Upon hearing this, Tian Wen was startled and then said angrily, "Ye Ling, what do you intend to do? Don\'t assume that by knowing a couple of powerful people, you can take on the Tian family. You have no idea the extent of our influence!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Inspector He of the Six Doors organization\'s face darkened, and he fiercely slapped Tian Wen across the face.
"Insolence! Who are you to speak to Young Master Ye like that? Kneel down immediately!"
He snorted coldly, raised his foot, and fiercely kicked Tian Wen\'s knee, breaking his kneecap with a crack.
Tian Wen let out a howl of pain, falling to the ground. He had never endured such agony in his life.
"Damn you, how dare you treat me like this! Have you forgotten? My uncle is the Vice Commander of the Guard; with just one word from him, he can make your life a living hell!"
The audience\'s eyes twitched, a look of fear spreading across their faces.
But Ye Ling retorted coldly, "Hmph, no matter how high his position may be, if he dares to shield you, then I\'ll have him stripped of his job!"
"Ha, such arrogance! Do you think you\'re the governor to threaten the removal of my uncle\'s position? You\'re just a live-in son-in-law, what are you so proud of?" Tian Wen sneered, but before he could finish speaking, a middle-aged man wearing black uniform and a pistol at his waist entered the room.
"Uncle, you\'ve finally come! Get someone to take down this bastard Ye Ling. I\'ll break his arms and legs, I want him to kneel before me and beg for mercy!" Tian Wen said with a gleam of joy on his face, gesturing for his subordinates to help him up and walk towards his uncle.
Instead, his uncle\'s face darkened, and with a clang, he handcuffed Tian Wen, saying coldly, "You scoundrel, who the hell knows a piece of trash like you? You\'re now suspected of multiple crimes, including attempted murder and fraud. I\'m going to take you in for questioning!"
"No, Uncle, please spare me!" Tian Wen\'s voice trembled, and his body completely collapsed, wetting his trousers in the process.
He was so arrogant because he thought his uncle\'s support was unwavering, but he never expected that his uncle would personally take action to arrest him.
Now he was truly finished, not even the Tian family could save him.
After Tian Wen was dragged away like a dead dog, Ye Ling cast a cold glance at the several directors and said sternly, "The lot of you colluded with Tian Wen and betrayed the Su family. You all should resign from your director positions and leave the Su Corporation."
"Hah, you say we should leave just because you say so? We are the company\'s major shareholders. Even the old Mr. Su had to be polite to us, and you, an unwelcome son-in-law, want to chase us away?" A few of them looked disdainful and sneered, "Don\'t forget that we currently hold more shares than you do. If you don\'t know what\'s good for you, then we don\'t mind kicking you out of the Su Corporation!"
"What are we going to do? Even the old grandfather only has forty percent of the shares now. We can\'t fight them!" Su Rou frowned, her face filled with anxiety.
"Heh, don\'t worry!" Ye Ling chuckled, then looked at the several men and said coldly, "You really won\'t shed tears until you see the coffin!"
He waved his hand, and Ye Jiu handed over a document. Ye Ling said coldly, "For all these years in the Su Corporation, you have been embezzling through your positions as directors, transferring the corporation\'s property to your own names, and on purpose using substandard cement and decorating teams. The downfall of the Su Corporation is entirely your fault!"
"You, how did you know!" The color drained from their faces, and they immediately knelt on the ground, begging for mercy, "Spare us, Mr. Ye, we will never dare to oppose you again!"
Ye Ling swept them a cold glance, then passed a document and said sternly, "Here\'s a share transfer agreement. You must transfer the shares to Su Rou, otherwise brace yourself for a lawsuit."
The men\'s expressions fell, and they shakily took the document, signing their names on it.
Afterward, they left the Su family\'s grand entrance one by one, dejectedly.
After the men had left, Su Ya clamored unwillingly, "Why should the shares be transferred to Su Rou? She\'s nothing but an adopted girl, how could she compare to us legitimate members of the family?"
The people of the Su family were also shaking their heads, eyeing the document with envy.
Forty percent of the shares were worth several billion, and just like that, they went to Su Rou, a little girl. How could they accept this calmly? In unison, they stepped forward and said, "Family Head, the shares of the Su family should be in the hands of someone from our Su family. How could they be given to an outsider?"
Su Rou looked aggrieved but bit her lip and said, "Yes, Ye Ling, maybe you should give the shares back to grandfather. I don\'t feel right holding onto them!"
Ye Ling remained silent with a stern face, but the old Mr. Su stepped forward angrily and exclaimed, "How presumptuous, Su Rou is my granddaughter, and she is qualified to manage the Su family\'s shares. Moreover, let me tell you all, from now on Su Rou will be the Su family\'s heir. If I hear any more gossip, I won\'t hesitate to enforce the family rules!"
"Family Head, this little girl!" The crowd was shocked, looking at the old grandfather in disbelief.
The heir to the Su family should have been the eldest grandson Su Jun or the second uncle Su Tiande, how could it be Su Rou, a girl with no official status or recognition?
"Hmph, what do you understand? Only with Su Rou as the Family Head can our Su family truly soar, even surpassing the three great families easily!" the old Mr. Su said sternly, no longer paying any attention to the other members of the Su family. He took Su Rou by the hand and walked into the inner hall.
