Chapter 162 Taking Back What Was Rightfully Hers

As Aying drove, she frequently glanced at Shang Wu.

"Miss, I thought you sneaked out to follow Lu Lu. Where are we headed?"

Shang Wu rubbed her temples and closed her eyes: "Go to the Shang Group."

"Huh?" Aying couldn't help but glance at the scar on her face.

Shang Wu noticed her gaze and opened her eyes: "How is the Shang family business under my brother's management?"

Aying smiled somewhat sheepishly: "It's alright."

Shang Wu looked at her seriously: "To be honest, don't worry about him being my brother. From your professional perspective, how capable is my brother?"

"Then I'll really tell you the truth?" Aying probed.

Shang Wu nodded.

Aying took a deep breath and couldn't help but say, "Actually, it's really not that great. If it weren't for you getting Xiao Dong out of prison and helping him wholeheartedly, all the existing projects of these companies would have run into problems."

"Moreover, ever since your jewelry department closed, before you took over Chengzhou, projects and performance began to decline precipitously."

"President Shang, let alone maintaining the status quo, it will be difficult to even stop this downward trend."

Shang Wu fell silent for a moment.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Aying thought she was unhappy, so she quickly tried to smooth things over: "Actually, Mr. Shang's major wasn't financial management, so he can't manage such a large group. I understand..."

"Then let's remove him."

Shang Wu suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Aying slowly opened her eyes wide, overjoyed: "You're coming back to take over the company? Really?! This is such a wonderful thing, you can't be lying to me!"

Shang Wu looked at her with a half-smile.

Aying coughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed, thinking about how she had just reluctantly agreed with Shang Yunshen.

"I mean it, Ms. Shang, if you come back to manage the company, the shareholders, executives, and all the employees will be confident that the company will get better and better."

"And I don't understand why you insist on having General Manager Shang manage the company. Wouldn't it be better for him to be a vice president or something? Ultimately, a company can only go far if the capable are in charge."

Shang Wu looked out the window and remained silent for a long time.

She's the fool.

After being tricked into working for Zhou Yanci for three years, Cheng Zhou felt that it was all his fault.

I shouldn't have been kept in the dark for so long, causing my family to suffer.

She wanted to restore everything to its original state.

A warm family, supportive parents, a gentle and considerate older brother, and a thriving conglomerate.

Three years of dramatic changes are enough to alter many things.

It was enough to completely change even her once closest mother.

Shang Wu coldly said, "Give me advance notice. Once I arrive, the bodyguards must also be in place and obey my orders."

Aying nodded immediately, feeling that she was going to do something big, and a sense of anticipation began to rise in her heart.

A dozen minutes later, the two arrived at the company.

The bodyguards were already in position at the door.

As soon as Shang Wu walked over, a row of bodyguards in suits bowed in greeting.

"Let's go upstairs."

Shang Wu walked ahead without looking back.

Ah Ying and her bodyguard followed.

Top floor conference room.

Shang Yunshen was in a meeting with documents in hand.

The shareholders below looked dejected, their faces showing a hint of impatience.

You can't earn dividends, and you can't even get your shares back.

Everyone regrets joining the Shang Group in the first place.

They thought Shang Wu was leading them to better and better, but in the end, it turned out that Shang Yun Shen became the president.

What great things can a young nobleman who studies literature and language accomplish in a company?

Some people started to get impatient.

Just then, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

Shang Wu stood outside the door, a bright red bloodstain on her face.

It was hot, and the doctor didn't bandage her wound, leaving it lying across her fair and rosy face, looking quite shocking.

Everyone was stunned.

Shang Yun Shen was also taken aback: "A Wu, what happened to your face!"

Shang Wu raised his hand.

The bodyguards rushed over and surrounded everyone.

Shang Wu walked to the desk, glanced at everyone, and then looked away.

She asked calmly, "I'm planning to take back the Shang Group and become its president. The board of directors can vote on it now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the bodyguards were about to step forward to apply pressure when the conference room suddenly became agitated.

"Miss Shang, please come back soon! We couldn't be happier! Do you know how hard we've been these past few days!"

"The company isn't making money, and we're not getting dividends either. We can't take it anymore!"

"You don't need to hire bodyguards to pressure me. I wholeheartedly agree to let you come back!"

Everyone rushed to express their opinions, and no one had any objections. They were all like eager little birds waiting for Shang Wu to take over.

As for where Shang Wu went these past few days, what happened to her, and how she got that scar on her face, none of that matters.

Shang Wu glanced around, a slight smile playing on her lips, before finally looking at Shang Yun Shen.

As expected, Shang Yun Shen naturally had no objections and nodded with a smile to Shang Wu.

“I’ve also felt overwhelmed lately. It’s good that the company is in your hands; at least I can catch my breath.”

Shang Wu raised her hand: "You can leave now. My brother and I need to talk alone."

The others left in high spirits.

Ah Ying closed the door for them and stood guard outside with her bodyguards.

With no outsiders around, Shang Yun Shen stepped forward and cupped Shang Wu's face in his hands: "What happened to you? How did your wound get so deep?"

Shang Wu's eyes flickered, trying to avoid his touch.

Shang Yun Shen said in a low voice, "Don't move, let me see. How could you be so careless?"

Shang Wu paused, then stopped dodging.

She looked directly at Shang Yun Shen and asked lightly, "Brother, in your eyes, did I do this by accident?"

Shang Yun Shen was taken aback.

“During the time I disappeared, I had no money and nowhere to live. The Yu family oppressed me, and others bullied me. Now that I’ve come back injured, you think it was an accident I caused.”

Shang Wu pushed Shang Yun Shen's hand away; more than feeling wronged, she felt disappointed and heartbroken.

"When I needed help, no one lent a hand, including you. Did you send anyone to look for me? Did you take care of me? Did you check on me and see where I was and how I was doing? No, you didn't."

Shang Yun took a deep breath and hesitated slightly: "I'm sorry, A-Wu, I didn't know..."

"Regardless of what you know or don't know, what's done is done. I almost ruined my reputation, but I escaped death. All I want is to take control of the Shang family and make it a powerful financial force that everyone fears. That's all."

Shang Wu remained calm as she looked at him, her seemingly indifferent expression concealing a turbulent undercurrent of emotions.

Shang Yunshen felt utterly ashamed and lowered his head, clenching his fists.

"I'm sorry, Ah Wu, it's all my fault. Don't worry, I'll find you the best doctor to treat you!"

“No need. You weren’t there when I needed you, so I won’t need you anymore.” Shang Wu interrupted him, then paused. “If you really feel guilty, then cooperate with me and put on a show.”

Shang Yun Shen frowned in confusion: "What play?"

Shang Wu raised his hand, signaling the other bodyguards to hold him down.

Half an hour later, Shang Yun Shen was tied up and taken away in public.

At the same time, the company issued an internal announcement that the president of Shangshi Group had changed from Shang Yunshen to Shang Wu.

The company was in an uproar.

People discussing this are divided into three groups.

Some people speculated that something had happened between the Shang siblings, so much so that Shang Wu didn't give Shang Yun Shen any face at all and kidnapped him in such an undignified manner.

Some people are glad that Shang Wu is back, because he can lead the company to better and better, and they can have a stable and long-term job.

Some people noticed that Shang Wu had injuries on her face and suspected that Shang Yun Shen refused to step down and even sent someone to injure his own sister, so Shang Wu was forced to retaliate.

In short, there are all sorts of opinions.

While no one inside was in a state of panic, news spread that Shang Yun Shen had been kidnapped and taken away by Shang Wu.

Shang Wu sat in the president's office and dialed Ruan Yuzhi's number using a landline.

She said coldly, "I'm sure someone has already called to warn you, Mrs. Shang. Come to the company immediately. If you want to save your son, do as I say."

She hung up after speaking, and when she looked up, she met Aying's confused gaze.

"Has everything been arranged for my brother?"

Ah Ying suddenly realized what was happening and quickly handed her the phone.

"It's very realistic, take a look."

Shang Wu glanced down at it and nodded: "That's enough."

She glanced at the time on the computer screen again.

It's already midnight.

If Lu Rang wanted to investigate the truth, he would definitely go to Lu Zheng.

Judging from his various reactions, Lu Rang definitely knows something, but he just doesn't fully understand it.

Furthermore, Lu Rang might feel that she is not suited to accept all the truth at once.

Lu Zheng is currently in Wanhu, and Lu Rang will not be able to return for another six hours.

She was certain that she knew what had happened before Lu Rang did.

Less than ten minutes later, footsteps could be heard outside the quiet office.

People walk very fast.

As soon as Shang Wu heard this, the office door was pushed open.

Ruan Yuzhi appeared at the office door with a gloomy expression and immediately questioned, "What exactly do you want!"

Sunlight streamed into the bright office.

Shang Wu sat at her desk, her face bathed in warm light, making the wound on her cheek extremely conspicuous.

But Ruan Yuzhi showed no emotion in her eyes, as if she couldn't see her injury, and walked in wearing black leather round-toed low-heeled shoes.

"Where did you take Yun Shen? You've also seized the company. What exactly are you trying to do?!"

Shang Wu lowered her eyes, her tone icy: "I'm just taking back what I rightfully deserve. Cheng Zhou was originally a gift I gave to your son. Since I can give it away, I can take it back at any time."

"And what about Yun Shenren?"

Ruan Yuzhi walked over and approached her step by step.

Shang Wu glanced at A Ying.

Ah Ying immediately handed over the phone.

"Madam, why don't you take a look at this?"

Ruan Yuzhi frowned as she looked over, and her expression changed drastically.

She immediately snatched the phone and stared in disbelief at the three-second video.

In the video, Shang Yun Shen is tied to a chair, his clothes are soaked in blood, and there are several wounds on his face.

He looked up at the camera, weak and in pain.

Ruan Yuzhi's hands began to tremble, her voice filled with rage and obvious heartache.

"Shang Wu, you, you actually had the heart to harm your own brother!"

"Didn't you say that I have nothing to do with your business anymore?" Shang Wu said with a half-smile, his eyes full of sarcasm. "Now you're talking about being brothers, it's really pointless."

Shang Wu withdrew her gaze and said casually, "I don't want to waste my breath on you. If you want to save your son, fine, tell me everything about you and Lu Zheng."

Ruan Yuzhi narrowed her eyes and asked coldly, "Are you threatening me?"

Shang Wu smiled and said, "Yes."

“You unfilial brat, I am your mother!” Ruan Yuzhi scolded.

Shang Wu leaned back in his seat.

Even though I've already applied the medicine, my cheek is inexplicably sore.

The pain was so intense it chilled her to the bone.

She said coldly, "We've severed ties, Madam Shang. You mean nothing to me, and neither does Shang Yun Shen. Tell me, and I'll let your son go."

Ruan Yuzhi took a deep breath, looked at Shang Wu's ruthless and uncompromising demeanor, and closed her eyes.

"Will you stop once I tell you?"

Shang Wu raised an eyebrow: "I mean what I say."

Ruan Yuzhi's expression was uncertain, but she finally walked over and sat down next to her.
