King of Capital: From Unemployment to the Pinnacle of Life

Song Huazhao's words sent chills down my spine!

I thought of a million possibilities... but I never imagined this one!

"Second sister... what exactly happened?"

I stammered, trembling, "Why...why did she want to kill Mom?"

"Hmph...why else? For profit, of course!"

On the other end of the phone, Song Huazhao sneered, "Hua Yao... has always been Mom's strategist and legal advisor. She knows everything about Mom, even prepared a forged will!"

"But... then why did she make Mom so angry?" I asked, puzzled.

"hehe!"

Song Huazhao sneered, "Her...it's to avoid suspicion! Think about it, she had a falling out with Mom, and finally escaped her control...there's no need for her to kill Mom! If Mom died unexpectedly...the investigators wouldn't suspect her anymore. The third brother thinks things through very deeply; he doesn't want even the slightest possibility of suspicion...and you! You're the perfect scapegoat she chose!"

"I?"

"Otherwise what?"

Song Huazhao sneered, "You're the eldest sister's fiancé chosen by Mom. If Mom dies... then who benefits the most? Of course, it's you! Because currently, most of Mom's assets are managed by the eldest sister... According to the logic of solving cases where whoever benefits is the most suspicious... and you're the one who treats Mom's illness every day, naturally you're the most suspicious!"

"this......?"

My head is buzzing... I can't quite process it yet, I haven't fully digested the logic here!

"But...Second Sister!"

I said nervously, "Today... she begged me again, begging me to take her to apologize to Mom... she even knelt down and slapped herself in the face! She kowtowed..."

"Okay, okay! What do you know?"

On the other end of the phone, Song Huazhao interrupted, "They're calling it spying... creating a character who's willing to do anything for love, yet also deeply loves her mother and doesn't want to hurt her... that way, once Mom dies, they'll have even less reason to suspect her!"

She paused, then continued, "On the other hand... it can also pave the way for her to produce a fake will in the future! If Mom softens now and forgives her, and stops being angry with her, then she'll have more grounds to use later... Even if Mom doesn't forgive her, she can still gauge how good your relationship with Mom is, knowing your enemy and yourself... so she can plan her next move!"

"Hiss~!"

I gasped, then gasped, "So... Second Sister, how did she plan to kill Mom?"

Song Huazhao pondered for a moment and said, "Currently, I know of two options. The first option... is to poison her with an allergen. My mother is allergic to peanuts, so she could subtly induce you to feed her foods containing peanut products. After all... you're the head housekeeper now, and my mother's daily diet is under your jurisdiction... The second option is that my mother is actually quite superstitious... there's a jade Guanyin statue hidden in this Goddess Peak, and my mother goes to pray there every month. We could use that to our advantage on the suspended walkway... Given Lao San's style of having multiple options... I'm not sure which option she'll use right now. After all, murder is something that requires improvisation..."

"Hiss~!"

I gasped, and hesitated before asking, "Second Sister, what should we do now?"

"What to do? Ha!"

On the other end of the phone, Song Huazhao sneered, "Don't you have a brain? She can test you, but if you know your enemy, why don't you test her? Anyway... don't be stupid enough to treat her like your own sister and reveal all your cards... the third brother is the most ruthless; he even wanted to kill his own mother, let alone you!"

She paused, then continued, "Just imagine... if she knew your true identity, the logic behind framing you would be even more flawed... you infiltrated the Song family to avenge your mother!"

Song Huazhao's words sent chills down my spine...

indeed!

If Song Huayao knew my true identity, then the chain of evidence against my intention to kill Yin Mei would be even more logically complete!

"Oh, right, Xiao Cheng!"

Song Huazhao pondered for a moment and said, "Xu Meijuan is injured and in the hospital now, and Xu Meiyun and Xu Meitong have also moved into our house... The entire Hengdai management is leaderless, and you... are the acting chairman appointed by Xu Jiayi. My idea is... since you are trapped by Mom and cannot leave the manor for the time being, then your second sister will take care of the Xu family's affairs for you. What do you think?"

wipe!

Upon hearing this, my heart skipped a beat!

Sure enough... everyone has their own ulterior motives!

Song Huazhao first told me about Song Huayao's conspiracy, and then revealed his true thoughts... he wanted to take over the Xu family for me!

wipe!

Am I, the newly appointed "acting chairman" by Hsu Chia-yi, going to hand over the reins to Sung Hua-chao before even taking office for a single day?

Giving it to her... wouldn't that be like throwing a lamb to the slaughter?

I couldn't help but recall the time she tried to swindle shares from my older sister...

"Uh... Second Sister! Is that so!"

I hesitated for a moment and said, "I have no problem with it, and... I'd also like to ask for your help, but this was appointed by Xu Jiayi. If I authorize you, what if he..."

"Xu Jiayi was in a coma yesterday due to high blood sugar and is currently in intensive care... He has completely lost the ability to exercise company authority. Besides... since he appointed you as acting chairman, you have the right to authorize him!"

Song Huazhao paused for a moment, then continued, "I've already drafted an authorization agreement and left it on your desk in your bedroom. Sign it when you get back, then have Hongman give it to me... Don't worry, little brother! I'll take care of the Xu family's mess for you!"

"Well... well, alright then! But..."

I awkwardly asked again, "Does Xu Meijuan know? And Meiyun, Meitong...?"

"hehe!"

Song Huazhao laughed, "You! You don't trust your second sister, do you? Don't worry! I won't touch their cake; I'm just managing it on their behalf... Besides, Xu Jiayi has already completed the shareholding division, so it's not legal for me to take it!"

"Oh, oh, oh... I didn't mean that, Second Sister, don't overthink it..."

"Alright!"

Song Huazhao laughed and said, "You should take good care of yourself... and deal with the third brother! Help Mom manage the household and keep the manor in check! Your eldest sister and I will handle the outside affairs for you!"

"Uh...that's fine! Then I'll have to trouble you, Second Sister. By the way, Second Sister, there's something else I don't know if I should tell Mom!" I said somewhat nervously.

"What is it?"

"Um... Song Huayao also asked me to treat her back pain today..."

I sighed, "I've discovered... she wasn't actually pregnant at all!"

"What? I knew it! Are you sure?" Song Huazhao asked in surprise.

"Sure!"

I pondered for a moment and said, "Back when I worked at the pig farm, my research focused on prepartum care for sows. I could easily tell if a pig was pregnant or not. This Song Huayao isn't pregnant at all. Before... when she argued with Mom, she was just pretending to be submissive! Now that you've told me this, a lot of the logic makes sense!"

"Yes... that's right!"

"So, Second Sister!"

I sighed and said, "If I told Mom my true intentions now, and also told her that she wasn't pregnant, what would the effect be?"

On the other end of the phone, Song Huazhao pondered for a moment before saying, "Don't tell Mom directly that she wants to kill her! You can subtly tell her first... that the third child isn't pregnant, and have Mom play dirty tricks on her, while you sit back and watch the show... Of course!"

Song Huazhao paused, then continued, "Don't tell Mom right away! Deal with the third brother first... This guy is extremely cunning! Once you've figured out her weaknesses, then deliver the fatal blow! Otherwise, a non-lethal, ordinary attack won't eliminate the enemy and might even allow her to make a comeback. You must make sure you cripple her in one go!"

wipe!

Song Huazhao's words sent a chill down my spine!

Just cripple her...

Song Huazhao never said such things when facing Song Hualin, who had caused trouble!

Not only did he not say anything... he was also trying everything he could to save his fifth sister!

This shows that... the love, hate, and grudges between the sisters are far more complex than I imagined!

"Alright, Xiao Cheng!"

On the other end of the phone, Song Huazhao pondered for a moment and said, "Second Sister was right... You take care of things at home, and Eldest Sister and I will handle external affairs... You should take good care of things at home first! Don't worry about the business outside! It's not too late to get involved in external ventures after you've completely got Mom under your control!"

"Okay... alright!"

"Go back and sign that authorization agreement as soon as possible!"

Song Huazhao reiterated, "I'm going to Hengdai Real Estate tomorrow to help you clean up that mess..."

After hanging up the phone, I felt a sense of loss and contemplation.

In this family, I seemed to fit in, yet I also seemed not...

Now my eldest and second eldest sisters treat me like family, but to be honest... I still don't dare to completely trust my second eldest sister!

Because I always felt... she was both righteous and wicked!

He has a righteous and warm-hearted side, but also an ambitious and ruthless side!

I granted her full management rights over Hengdai Real Estate... Was this the right thing to do or the wrong thing to do?

Xu Meijuan is the CEO; would she agree?

Just as I was lost in thought and feeling melancholy, a scream suddenly came from Yin Mei's bedroom!
