"The three major factories and these twelve brands are protecting not Shi Shengde, but your Shi Family."
Yin Shixiu raised his eyes slightly,
"Just this, is only out of respect that you are my elder brother’s father-in-law."
Chen Lan, who stood by, was genuinely in awe of Yin Shixiu’s cunning and sches!
This was essentially ant to anger the old man in front of him to death!
Did he think that Shi Yuancheng didn’t know that Shengde Group’s predicant was because of the grudges between him and Yin Shiqing?
And now he dared to say it was out of respect for Yin Shiqing that he let the Shi Family off the hook?
Shi Yuancheng, at over seventy years old, indeed could not withstand Yin Shixiu’s provocations!
Imdiately, he clutched his chest, his body slowly leaning back.
A flicker of panic flashed across Chen Lan’s face; he genuinely feared sothing would happen to Shi Yuancheng at the Yin Group.
Yin Shixiu, however, was calm and collected,
"Call 120 and notify the Shi Family."
"Yes."
Shi Yuancheng neither had a heart condition nor high blood pressure; he was purely driven by anger induced by Yin Shixiu.
The corporate culture and welfare at the Yin Group were quite good.
There was an infirmary within the premises.
Before 120 arrived, the infirmary doctor had already looked at Shi Yuancheng’s condition.
By the ti 120 ca, Shi Yuancheng had already regained consciousness.
Yin Shixiu directly had 120 carry Shi Yuancheng away. Before leaving, he said to Shi Yuancheng,
"I have no interest whatsoever in Shengde Group’s three garnt factories and twelve clothing brands. However, just letting your Shi Family off purely out of goodwill is sothing I cannot do."
"The three garnt factories and the twelve clothing brands are worthless, just like the lives of your Shi Family."
"Yin Shixiu! You will regret this! Not even your father dared speak to like this! You dare—"
"It’s not that my father doesn’t dare, but that he disdains to. Paths that don’t align won’t lead to joint ventures; my father doesn’t have the audacity of Uncle Shi to knowingly break the law and collude with officials."
"You did this on purpose!"
"Show him out."
Yin Shixiu raised his hand, his expression cold.
————
Shi Yuancheng’s visit to the Yin Group was utterly like running headfirst into a wall!
Returning ho, he was almost bedridden and unable to get up.
He felt as if half his life had been drained away!
By the bedside, his wife was incessantly sobbing!
Shi Yuancheng’s wife, with her head full of gray hair, had two streams of cloudy tears hanging on her old, wrinkled face.
The daughter-in-law and two grandsons in their twenties stood beside with faces full of worry.
Shi Haiyan and Yin Shiqing stood at a distance from the bed.
They all heard what Shi Yuancheng said.
Yin Shixiu’s deliberate humiliation of Shi Yuancheng was obviously to target Yin Shiqing and Shi Haiyan!
"Haiyan, Shiqing, you can’t just stand by and watch that bastard Yin Shixiu bully your father like this! Boohoo..."
Mrs. Shi cried while wiping her tears.
"Not only does he want to kill your brother, but he’s also trying to anger your father to death! This person is truly evil and despicable!"
"He even dares to threaten to ruin our entire family!"
Shi Haiyan clenched her fists.
Watching her aged father suffer such humiliation, and thinking of her brother being taken into custody with no hope for reprieve, upset her deeply.
Yin Shiqing’s face was ashen.
The troubles of Shi Shengde were all detrintal to him!
If the Shi Family collapses, he won’t fare well either!
Unforeseen attacks—Yin Shiqing hadn’t expected that Yin Shixiu’s trip to the United Kingdom was not just for Su Xiaong’s studies but rather lurking in London.
He had been waiting, just waiting for him to climb high and then make him crash hard!
A flawless series of traps had been set, from Huang Tingting to Guo Tong, then from Guo Tong to Shengde Group, and from Shengde Group to Shi Yuancheng...
Who will be next?
The faint smile on that gentle face was like a sharp blade, cutting ruthlessly at every fatal point.
"That day, I clearly advised my elder brother not to act impulsively, as impulsive actions would only lead into Yin Shixiu’s trap! Why didn’t he listen?"
Yin Shiqing’s voice was icy cold.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shi abruptly stopped sobbing and flared up,
"Instead of finding trouble with Yin Shixiu, you’re here sarcastically criticizing Shengde?!"
"I’m not mocking my brother! I’m just saying, doing such a dangerous thing, one should know it’s inherently a double-edged sword!"
Yin Shiqing stoutly defended,
"It can bring profits and recover Shengde Group’s shares, but why not consider the risks it might bring! Throwing thirty billion just like that! How could it not raise suspicion?! "
"Yin Shixiu is fixatedly staring at Shengde, doesn’t my brother know?!"
"If money solves everything, then what’s the brain used for?!"
"Things have reached this point! What’s the use of you criticizing my brother now?!"
Shi Haiyan couldn’t bear to hear her husband’s critique of the brother who was jailed!
Yin Shiqing took a deep breath,
"Do you think he, having gone in, will have a way to get out?"
"..."
"..."
The room’s atmosphere cooled with that one sentence!
Shi Haiyan’s eyes widened, looking at her husband’s hard, cold face.
"What do you an by that?"
"These were all traps set by Yin Shixiu, and that Bai Family officer and Yin Shixiu were colluding from the start. Do you think after my brother was arrested, there would be another way to get him out?!"
"That Bai Sidong is known for his integrity!"
"Cracking down on smuggling and drug trafficking is his duty! It’s lucky he doesn’t dig for more dirt from my brother, and you expect him to take bribes to help my brother out?"
Yin Shiqing’s words were unfeeling but terribly... true!
If it were an ordinary family, it might not matter, but Shi Yuancheng is a party mber, a high-ranking official just retired, and Yin Shiqing himself holds a high position, though the Guo Tong incident negatively impacts him.
The whole family is currently under scrutiny.
If they rashly do anything for Shi Shengde, Yin Shixiu’s ongoing trap will only continue!
"Nonsense!"
Shi Yuancheng’s fist hit the bed heavily,
"Cough cough... cough cough cough..."
Shi Shengde is Shi Yuancheng’s only son; he’d lose everything but can’t let his only son die in prison!
Yin Shiqing closed his eyes again, taking a deep breath, feeling a stifling frustration in his chest.
This frustration wasn’t solely from his arrogant fourth brother.
Half of it ca from the Shi Family.
That increasingly audacious, increasingly unyielding Shi Shengde!
That it would co to this, it was entirely due to personality; it was no surprise he fell into Yin Shixiu’s trap!
And now, the bedridden Shi Yuancheng...
"Why did you go to Yin Shixiu without consulting ?"
Yin Shiqing didn’t want to bring it up, but it was unavoidable, as Shi Yuancheng’s impending decision to save his son could end up ruining them all!
This made Yin Shiqing’s heart grow cold.
Shi Yuancheng, Shi Shengde... neither were easy to deal with.
Yet Yin Shixiu tackled this father-son pair head-on with fierce boldness.
Without needing Yin Shixiu to act further, Yin Shiqing feared the Shi Family father and son would be his downfall!
Was this also within Yin Shixiu’s calculations?
