King of Capital: From Unemployment to the Pinnacle of Life

"What juicy news?"

"husband!"

Xiao Ran excitedly said, "Qiao Jingshu just called Xu Shaokun and said... Xu Jiayi was hospitalized with a heart attack, right? After a full checkup, they found he also has pancreatic cancer, and it's already in its late stages. He only has 3-4 months to live at most... In such a short time, getting Xu Jiayi to change his will is basically impossible! So, Qiao Jingshu urged Xu Shaokun to have his father, Zhao Fuhai, act quickly... As long as Xu Meijuan, Xu Meiyun, and Xu Meitong all die unexpectedly before Xu Jiayi passes away... not only will Old Xu's shares be returned, but he can also inherit the shares of the three sisters! That's one reason!"

Xiao Ran paused for a moment, then continued, "And another thing, honey! You underestimated Qiao Jingshu's luck! Xu Meiwen isn't Xu Jiayi's child either!"

"What! How did you know?"

"Giggle giggle!"

On the other end of the phone, Xiao Ran giggled, almost breathless: "Guess? Who is Xu Meiwen's real father? You'd never guess!"

"Tsk! Xiao Ran, time is precious, stop beating around the bush! Speak up!" I frowned, and countless names of old fogies flashed through my mind, even suspecting Song Guolong.

"Giggle giggle!"

Xiao Ran laughed, "Honey, think about it... 'When one whale dies, all things thrive.' The three Xu sisters are dead, and Xu Jiayi is dead too... The size of this shareholding is far more than the 30% Xu Jiayi originally held, right? Xu Shaokun has to discuss with Qiao Jingshu how to divide this huge pie. According to legal procedures, besides Xu Jiayi's children, Xu Jiayi's younger brother, Xu Jiayong, also has a share in all the Xu family's shares! Xu Shaokun's intention is that he wants to take all the shares from his children's group! He only wants Xu Meiwen to eat the piece of cake that her uncle Xu Jiayong got. Do you understand what that means?"

"Holy crap!"

I gasped, "You mean... Xu Meiwen is Xu Jiayong's? My God!"

"Isn't it obvious?"

On the other end of the phone, Xiao Ran chuckled, "From what they were saying, I could tell... Xu Meiwen didn't know Xu Shaokun was Zhao Fuhai's son, but she knew for herself that she was Xu Jiayong's daughter..."

This relationship is so complicated, I can't process it all right now!

"So, back then, your father gave Qiao Jingshu to Xu Jiayi... but his younger brother beat him to it?"

"Yes, yes, that's exactly what I mean!"

Xiao Ran laughed and said, "Xu Shaokun's meaning is very clear: everyone should go back to their own homes and find their own mothers... Since his fourth sister is Xu Jiayong's daughter, she should be dividing the flesh that Xu Jiayong cut off from Xu Jiayi, not taking a slice of the cake from him, Xu Jiayi's only son. Otherwise... Xu Meiwen will essentially be getting double the share!"

"wipe!"

I frowned and sighed, "If that's the case... why is Qiao Jingshu trying to seduce your dad again?"

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

Xiao Ran laughed, "Honey, think about it. With all the children's affairs arranged, Qiao Jingshu has to leave herself a way out! Zhao Fuhai and Xu Jiayong both have wives; why would they want a piece of trash like her? Only my dad is single! My mom just passed away at the beginning of the year... So, when she brings Xu Meiling back to our Xiao family, at least she has a place to stay. After all, Xu Meiling is my dad's own flesh and blood..."

She paused, then continued, "Although my dad's plan is quite rosy—to have Qiao Jingshu do everything in her power to give all of Old Xu's shares to Xu Meiling—it's simply unrealistic! Qiao Jingshu has already decided that all the Xu family's assets will go to her son. Honestly, it's better if it works out, but if it doesn't, my dad can't really complain! Qiao Jingshu's ultimate goal is to marry my dad with her youngest daughter and come live with us! And... the one who's been treated the most unfairly is probably Xu Meiwen! She's being schemed against by her own mother and brother, and she's foolishly working for them!"

"Hiss~!"

I gasped, my brain racing to process this complex information!

"Also! Hehehe!"

On the other end of the phone, Xiao Ran laughed, "Honey! Tonight, that shameless Qiao Jingshu is coming to my dad's villa in Xishan to have a good time with the old man, trying to seduce him into marrying her sooner... I've already arranged for my men to install surveillance equipment under the guise of checking the air conditioner! Do you want to watch the live stream?"

"Cough cough cough!"

After coughing twice, I said, "I'll retain the broadcasting rights. Just keep an eye on it for me, Ranran! Anyway, I really want to thank you!"

"Tsk tsk tsk! Why are you thanking me?"

Xiao Ran smiled and said, "I'm your woman, isn't it only right that I work for you?"

"I can't say it..."

I pondered earnestly and said, "You saved three lives; your merit is immeasurable!"

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

On the other end of the phone, Xiao Ran smacked her lips and said meaningfully, "I did save three love rivals, didn't I? But it doesn't matter! I, Xiao Ran, may be jealous, but I'm also a reasonable person... After all, the right to life is above all else!"

"That's right!"

I exclaimed, "Ranran, your magnanimity, your vision, your knowledge, and your abilities... you've truly impressed me once again! You're a gem!"

"Tsk tsk tsk! Honey! Stop saying those useless things..."

Xiao Ran grinned mischievously, "If you really think I'm great, then marry me... I'll be your best helpmate!"

.......

I chatted with her for a few more minutes, then hung up the phone... My heart was heavy with anxiety and confusion!

Should I take the audio file that Xiao Ran sent me to a higher-level judicial institution to file a complaint?

So... Zhao Fuhai wants to kill the three sisters?

But wouldn't this alert the enemy?

Furthermore, the current judicial system is based on 'evidence'!

I heard from someone that he was going to kill someone, but he just said it and didn't actually do anything... So what kind of impact does your report have?

Just like when we were kids fighting, we said all sorts of harsh things to each other!

This cannot be used as evidence!

Moreover... if we alert Xu Shaokun and fail to eliminate him in one fell swoop, then the unstable potential danger will continue to exist!

Even if Xu Shaokun is killed, Zhao Fuhai will still be...

Although that guy wasn't as big as Song Guolong, he was still someone with "connections and influence"...

If we can't take them down in one go... then they'll use their connections to "make a big deal into a small one, and a small deal into nothing" to avoid the storm. Then, one or two years, three or four years... they'll slowly deal with us. It's all uncertain!

Filled with confusion and worry, I returned to Song Huazhao's chairman's office.

Seeing my worried expression, even the usually cheerful Song Huazhao and Xu Meiyun were stunned...

"Xiao Cheng! What's wrong?"

Song Huazhao asked with a smile, "And who made you unhappy this time?"

"Second sister..."

I sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and said, "Since... I'm taking Mei-yun to see Xu Jia-yi after get off work, shouldn't I tell her many truths?"

"The truth? What truth?"

Xu Meiyun looked completely bewildered: "Husband, Second Sister... what are you talking about?"

"Meiyun!"

I looked at her seriously and said, "I've basically investigated who wanted to harm you, but..."

"Just what?"

Xu Meiyun nervously sat down next to me, grabbed my hand nervously, and asked with a look of fear and anxiety in her eyes!

"only......"

I winked at Song Huazhao, meaning... let Song Huazhao break through this barrier.

Because I'm not sure what I should say and what I shouldn't say...

"hehe!"

Song Huazhao chuckled, "Meiyun, come! Come sit with your second sister, I have something to tell you!"

Xu Meiyun, still somewhat bewildered, sat down next to Song Huazhao...

"cough!"

Song Huazhao held Xu Meiyun's hand and said, "Meiyun! Your mother... was a pitiful woman..."

"I know......"

Tears streamed down Xu Meiyun's face as she said sadly, "After my dad started having affairs with that other woman, she cried every day... She was crying when she left!"

"And your father received the same punishment... It's actually quite ironic!"

Song Huazhao frowned and pondered, "Qiao Jingshu, the two children you gave birth to for your father are not his biological children..."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Meiyun froze, then asked in a trembling voice, "Who? Which one isn't?"

"Xu Shaokun, Xu Meiling!"

Song Huazhao replied, "Xu Shaokun is Zhao Fuhai's son from Yuanjiang Shipbuilding, and Xu Meiling is Xiao Zhenjiang's..."

"what?"

Xu Meiyun's body trembled violently as if she had been electrocuted, and then she froze completely!

Seeing that Song Huazhao had already "revealed everything," I stopped hiding anything and said, "Second Sister, Meiyun... Xu Meiwen isn't either. Xu Jiayi and Qiao Jingshu have lived a lonely life!"

"This, this...?"

Xu Meiyun stared at my brother and me in shock, seemingly unable to believe what she was seeing!

Upon receiving this "unexpected" news, Song Huazhao chuckled bitterly: "Sigh! Abandoning his wife and daughters... He angered his first wife to death, and then tried to kill his own daughters. In this world... there's probably no man more pathetic than your father..."

"Second sister...you mean, my father wants to kill us? How is that possible?" Xu Meiyun asked in horror.

"Not your dad! It's..."

While Song Huazhao was explaining to Xu Meiyun, my phone beeped. I picked it up and saw a photo Xiao Ran had sent me. When I saw the contents of the photo, I couldn't help but gasp!
