King of Capital: From Unemployment to the Pinnacle of Life

That was a news report released late at night by the Jiangcheng police...

The content is as follows: Recently, the police in our city solved a heinous murder case. The suspect, Chen, is a postgraduate student at a local medical university. Suspecting that his girlfriend, Shen, was having an inappropriate relationship with Yu, the head of a commercial bank in the city, he committed the murder, resulting in her death. After the incident, the victim's body underwent embalming...

I didn't even finish reading the news; my mind was completely blank!

Mou Yao, Yu Mou...

Fatty Yu, Yao Yao, the approval slip... Xu Shaokun's words and actions when he warned me of mission failure flashed rapidly through my mind, frame by frame, scene by scene.

He said that if I failed the mission, I would know in a couple of days, and he unconsciously touched the gray wolf specimen next to the sofa.

What the hell is this called anti-corrosion treatment?

I feel like every bone and joint in my body is fighting!

Madman! Demon! Beast!

This has completely gone beyond the scope of "killing the chicken to scare the monkey." This devil deserves to be killed ten thousand times to appease public anger!

I recalled the time when Xu Meijuan went out to talk to Jiajia while we were still in the president's office. A preview message popped up on her phone on the coffee table: Shao Kun has made his move; President Yu has been taken away by the disciplinary committee; a new president will be...

Xu Meijuan has a keen eye for everything, that's one aspect.

On the other hand, I've also come to understand many things...

Xu Shaokun never does things with a single purpose; he's using Yao Yao's death to drag Fatty Yu down with him!

Fatty Yu refused to approve Xu Shaokun's request... He's disobedient and won't listen!

Instead of following normal thinking and continuing to lobby, win over, and corrupt, Xu Shaokun simply abandoned Fatty Yu and 'blew him up'!

Then, when another bank manager arrives, the corrupt tactics continue...

Now, all the logic is complete!

It showed me the consequences of task failure, and also allowed me to quickly update the speed of business development!

A businessman's mindset isn't about forcing a sale on a monk, but about ultimately selling the comb...

If the monks won't listen, then let's get a Taoist priest instead!

"What are you looking at? Sun Fangfang is urging you to go home."

Seeing that I was completely frozen and motionless, Xu Meijuan smiled and took my phone, and saw the news on the screen.

Looking at the woman next to me... the woman I had just been intimately entwined with for hours, my feelings were extremely complicated!

Are all members of the Xu family devils?

Since you, Xu Meijuan, are so insightful and understand everything... how can you be so cold-blooded and ruthless?

Are you still a person?

Was I just... having sex with a human woman, or was I partying with a devil?

Xu Meijuan stared at her phone, her brows furrowed and her eyes narrowed to two dots... but her expression remained largely unchanged.

"Ms. Meijuan..."

I took a long, deep breath, trying to calm my agitated emotions: "There's an old saying... It takes ten years of cultivation to share a boat ride, and a hundred years to share a pillow. I don't know how you view our relationship... but I, Song Cheng, have asked myself honestly, I've been sincere to every woman I've had an intimate relationship with! I've been completely open and honest with them! I've always hoped they would be well! I didn't see this as just a fleeting pleasure, but as a predestined fate from a past life..."

"What do you want to say?" Xu Meijuan frowned as she looked at me.

"I wanted to say..."

I turned my head and looked at her earnestly, saying, "I want to have something heartfelt to say to you... For the sake of our recent deep affection, could you also have something heartfelt to say to me?"

"Go ahead and tell me!"

Xu Meijuan casually took out a women's cigarette from the bedside table, lit it, and took a light puff.

"Ms. Meijuan..."

I sighed deeply and said, "In your office, just as you went out to talk to Jiajia, your phone, which you'd left on the coffee table, rang. The preview message read, 'Shao Kun has taken action; Bank Manager Yu has been taken away'... I know the tricks your Xu family plays—if Bank Manager Yu doesn't obey, you cripple him and replace him... But you don't have to sacrifice a young woman's life! What are you doing? Your family is acting so perversely; aren't you afraid of retribution?"

I closed my eyes, trembling, and took another deep breath: "Do you really think Xu Shaokun can do this without anyone arresting you? Don't you realize at all that this is a path of no return?"

Xu Meijuan didn't speak, but listened quietly, her expression growing increasingly somber and grave...

"Meijuan!"

I didn't call her "CEO," but called her by her name, and held her hands in my hands: "The net of heaven is vast, and though its meshes are wide, nothing escapes it! Don't think the law is just for show! Sooner or later, when the punishment comes down... you won't be able to bear it! If we didn't have this close relationship, you would still be that high and mighty female CEO... I would at most sigh and watch from the sidelines, but... I've already fallen deeply in love with you! I don't want to see you one day... plunged into utter ruin!"

My tone was extremely sincere. Xu Meijuan's eyes turned slightly red, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes sparkled with emotion as she looked at me!

"So... what do you mean?" Xu Meijuan asked, frowning.

"Meijuan!"

I swallowed hard, gripping her hand tightly: "Tell me the truth! Were you involved in this?"

"snort......"

Xu Meijuan snorted coldly, frowned, and shook her head.

"That's good!"

I said excitedly, "Then... let's report Xu Shaokun! Okay? Meijuan! Stop it before it's too late! He's a madman, a complete and utter madman! What they're doing will ruin the Xu family sooner or later! It will ruin you! Meijuan! I... I, I love you! Really! I just want you to be okay!"

My voice choked up a little...

Actually, I know that being so frank might seem a bit naive!

She's such a powerful female CEO, 16 years older than me. She's been in the business world for so many years. What storms, intrigues, and wicked people haven't she seen?

Even if she was involved, she wouldn't tell me the truth...

But I am also doing my best to try to awaken the last glimmer of humanity in Xu Meijuan's soul!

"cough!"

Xu Meijuan took a light drag on her cigarette, a tear glistening in the corner of her eye, and smiled at me: "Acheng! Thank you! I know you're doing this for my own good..."

Then, she took another deep drag on her cigarette, stubbed it out in the ashtray, and said, "The person who most wants Xu Shaokun dead isn't you, it's me!"

Her words sent a shiver down my spine, and I stared at her in shock.

"Acheng, since you've opened up to me, I won't hide anything from you either..."

Xu Meijuan said calmly, "But the complexity of many things is beyond your imagination... Do you have evidence to report Xu Shaokun and put him on trial?"

"evidence?"

I swallowed hard. "I didn't! But you did! Xu Shaokun is surrounded by your people. You could even hear my conversations with him... Collecting evidence of his crimes would be a piece of cake for you, wouldn't it?"

"hehe!"

Xu Meijuan shook her head with a wry smile: "You're oversimplifying things, far too simply... When I called Xu Shaokun an idiot, it was just an emotional outburst! It doesn't mean he's really stupid. In fact, he's very shrewd! Take this Shen Mouyao incident, for example, uh, right..."

Xu Meijuan gave me a sly look: "I know you have a chivalrous heart. You saw Yao Yao that night and thought she was so beautiful, it was such a pity she died... Don't worry, it wasn't that Yao Yao. There are plenty of girls named Yao Yao..."

Xu Meijuan is indeed sharp-eyed and meticulous; her words left me speechless!

"Ugh...no Yao Yao will do!"

"Alright, alright!"

Xu Meijuan waved her hand, frowning, and said, "Xu Shaokun only indirectly let Shen Mouyao's boyfriend know about Shen Mouyao's shady dealings with Fatty Yu... He didn't kill her, so why are you reporting Xu Shaokun? Fatty Yu may not have met Yao Yao and been messing around, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a secret lover, right? Xu Shaokun just started a fling; is starting a fling a crime?"

"But... when Xu Shaokun warned me, he touched the specimen in his office..."

"That's overthinking it..."

Xu Meijuan said with a bitter smile, "I have no intention of protecting him. In fact, if I had any leverage over him that could kill him, I wouldn't let him live for even a minute longer!"

"Let's talk about the incident of setting fire to Wang Hai's house!"

Xu Meijuan sighed softly: "Xu Shaokun did not order his men to set fire. He only said, 'Teacher Sun was beaten, how are you going to arrest him?' He neither explained the action plan nor clearly expressed any dissatisfaction... He was just stating a fact."

"this......?"

My eyes darted back and forth as I argued, "But it's obvious! Besides, didn't he once make a terminally ill cancer patient run over a traffic cop?"

"Where's the evidence?"

Xu Meijuan shook her head and smiled wryly: "You're just repeating hearsay, aren't you..."

"I admit it's all hearsay...but!"

I looked at Xu Meijuan earnestly and said, "Meijuan! Since you hate him so much, then... can we gather evidence against him and bring him to trial so he can face the law? That would be good for us, for the Xu family, and for the people of Jiangcheng..."

"cough......!"

Xu Meijuan sighed, "Darling... to tell you the truth, Xu Shaokun is just a 'spokesperson' for the devil. The real devil isn't him! It's useless for you to eliminate him; to eliminate him... you have to uproot him!"

"The Great Demon, uprooted completely?"

"right!"

A sinister glint flashed in Xu Meijuan's eyes: "Crack down on them all, wipe them out completely!"

As soon as she finished speaking, my phone rang. It was an unfamiliar local number.

I frowned and hesitated for a moment, but still answered the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Xiaojuan's sobbing could be heard: "Brother... Waaah!"
