My father's inheritance is my mortal enemy.

Li Bo entered the airport and glanced at the contents of his bag during security. There was a lot of medicine; his fever had just subsided, and if he caught a chill, all his previous efforts would be wasted, and he would have to start taking medicine and resting again. Further inside, there were also insect repellent patches; the weather on Australian Island is hot, surrounded by the sea, and there are many mosquitoes.

Li Bo decided to go to Australia last night. He didn't have time to prepare for these details, and even Shu Lang, who is usually meticulous, hadn't thought of them...

Li Bo boarded the plane quickly, and it was already evening when he landed on Australian Island. With the afterglow of the setting sun, he found a coastal hotel to stay in. The hotel had a restaurant, so he went downstairs to have a meal and then went back to his room.

The meeting with investors was just a pretext.

Li Bo did have business on the Australian island, but it wasn't urgent, and there was absolutely no need to leave Beijing immediately.

Li Bo was working remotely on the balcony. The sun was setting and the sky was getting darker. His eyes were starting to hurt from looking at the screen for so long, so he took off his gold-rimmed glasses, checked the time, rubbed his eyelids, closed his eyes, picked up his cup and took a sip of water. It was cold.

Li Bo got up, poured himself a glass of hot water, rubbed his neck, sat down again, and picked up his phone to take a look.

The screen only showed messages from Shu Lang.

Zhou Yanshao didn't send him a single text message.

This time, he and Zhou Yanshao were in perfect sync.

Li Bo looked up his contacts and called Fei Ye on the Australian island.

It was probably last year when Li Bo came to Australia Island to discuss business and met this Fei Ye once. Fei Ye is the owner of the casino on Australia Island, and he is the one who calls the shots on this island.

Li Bo has no interest in gambling. He is a conservative and won't touch stocks. He will only look into stocks when he needs to cater to the preferences of his clients.

Zhou Huiyuan happened to be on the Australian island that time, and he took Li Bo to meet Fei Ye. Fei Ye was in his thirties and had a very strong presence. He even tried to poach Li Bo in front of Zhou Huiyuan, but Zhou Huiyuan refused with a smile.

Li Bo arranged to meet Fei Ye, who was currently at a casino. Although Li Bo disliked that place, he went anyway.

When he arrived at the casino entrance, a doorman came over and led the way with a smile.

Casinos are places where people lose all sense of time, playing endlessly and throwing money at the table. Gamblers are like addicts, which is terrifying.

Li Bo entered Fei Ye's rest room. Fei Ye sat on the sofa and said with a smile, "Sit down."

Li Bo sat opposite Fei Ye: "Fei Ye is as dashing as ever."

Master Fei laughed loudly, sizing up Li Bo. His gaze lingered sharply on Li Bo's neck, where the mark was too ambiguous, resembling both a bite mark and a hickey.

Master Fei cut to the chase: "Mr. Bo, do you need something from me?"

Li Bo smiled, his expression unreadable: "There are some things."

Tell me about it.

"My brother, oh... Li Cheng, I heard he's on Australia Island?"

"Yes."

Li Bo poured Fei Ye a glass of water: "I hope he stays on the Australian island forever."

Master Fei frowned: "This is difficult."

Although Fei Ye owed Zhou Huiyuan a favor a long time ago, using Li Cheng as an exchange makes the favor seem a bit too great.

Everyone in the capital knows that Li Cheng is the most favored only son of the Li family, while Li Bo is merely a whetstone, not even considered a son. If Li Cheng gets into trouble on Australian Island, the Li family will definitely retaliate.

Although Australia Island and Beijing are far apart, the Li family is in the financial industry, so they are a major client, aren't they?

Li Bo was well aware that between people, personal relationships were one thing, and interests were another.

"After the matter is settled, I will treat you to fine wine." Li Bo added, "Platinum will step down."

Although PlatinumRay is not yet listed, it is only a matter of time. In the past two years, PlatinumRay has taken on planning orders and qualification reviews from many large domestic companies without any problems. It is very professional and has great development prospects.

Li Cheng couldn't leave Australia, so the Li family made trouble. But after making trouble, there was still a practical problem: the Li family line had ended. Now that Li Bo's father was old, even if a beautiful woman came up with her, he probably wouldn't be able to.

Li Bo now holds Zhou Huiyuan's will. Even if he can't get the shares, a huge sum of money is real, and the Li family naturally hopes to get their hands on it, so—

The Li family wanted to kill Li Bo to eliminate any future trouble.

Alternatively... let Li Bo enter the Li family ancestral hall and become a true member of the Li family.

Li Bo came to Australia Island, to put it bluntly, like a gecko shedding its tail to save its life. The favor that Master Fei of Australia Island did him was Zhou Huiyuan's trump card for survival.

Fei Ye pondered for a moment: "Platinum Ray is your brainchild, isn't it? Why not exchange it for Zhihuai shares?"

Li Bo offered his Zhihuai shares in exchange. Whether he could get those shares and whether the company's shareholders' meeting would approve them was up to Fei Ye. Li Bo essentially threw away this hot potato and was happy to relax.

Li Bo's voice was firm and resolute: "My heart is with you forever."

Fei Ye laughed, finding it amusing; Platinum Rui had yielded, but his loyalty remained unchanged.

This bone of Zhihuai is no ordinary nut to crack.

A year ago, Fei Ye found it intriguing. Li Bo was an illegitimate son of the Li family, yet he knew Zhou Huiyuan, who would even bring him to the casino. This behavior was truly strange, and now that the will had been revealed, he was even more curious.

Master Fei asked, "You and Chairman Zhou...?"

Li Bo smiled and said, "Everyone needs to find a big tree to lean on."

"What did Chairman Zhou promise you?"

"The Li family," Li Bo said. "The entire Li family."

"Let me think about it." Master Fei pushed the teacup on the table toward Li Bo. "Li Bo, you know I admire you and value your talent. Why not consider staying and becoming my right-hand man?"

"Thank you for your kind words, Master Fei. I don't like being constrained."

"Okay, I'll let you know once I've thought it through."

After seeing the guests off, Li Bo left the casino, breathed a sigh of relief, returned to the hotel, and took some sleeping pills before falling asleep.

Li Bo worked remotely all weekend, without a moment's rest.

On Sunday evening, Li Bo took a shower, ordered a bottle of red wine at the front desk to help him sleep, and was about to go to bed when his phone on the table rang.

Slightly drunk, Li Bo propped himself up, struggled to turn over, and fumbled for his phone when there was a sudden knock on the door.

Li Bo saw the text message on the screen.

Zhou Yanshao: [Open the door and apologize to me.]
