Chapter 1280 Too rude

On the other side, Eddie was also depressed when he saw the video that was hung up by Du Yanzheng.

No wonder they are brothers, they both have the same bad temper.

Looking at the black screen in front of him, Eddie looked very bad.

"Sir, your two nephews are so rude. You are the patriarch of the Hess family, and you went to retrieve them with such courtesy, but they didn't even buy it."

The person who spoke was Eddie's special assistant and confidant, named Qi Ye.

"One of them is from the Du family, the other from the Zhan family. One is running for president, and the other is a highly respected tech giant. They certainly have reason to be proud."

"But compared to the Hess family's brilliance, their strength is still a mere drop in the bucket. Their combined assets are 5 trillion and 1 trillion, respectively. Even if you add the Di family's 5 trillion, the total is only 11 trillion. But the Hess family boasts 40 trillion in assets. Why do you insist on their recognition?"

Eddie was also very willing to talk to Qi Ye.

He said, "The Hess family being surpassed by the AO2 Group is the greatest shame of my life. The Hess family has been number one in the world for 300 years and has never been surpassed. The reason why my father made Jia Mo the heir and cast me, his eldest son and eldest brother, aside was that he said I was greedy and lacked vision.

I wasn't convinced then. Even now, I'm still not convinced. I've done no worse than any other family leader, and over 98% of my investment projects have been profitable so far. Yet, AO2, with its technological achievements, has easily surpassed the Hess family. How can I swallow this?

"So you're attracted by Zhan Lichuan's talent in science and technology?"

"His IQ has been modified. Besides Carrie, I'm afraid I'm the only one in this world who knows how smart he is. He's just young, so he can't be compared to the people in charge of AO2. But as long as I can use him and develop products under my guidance, I guarantee that within 10 years, the Opp Group will become a larger company than AO2. By then, our Hess family will be able to regain the title of world's number one.

Plus, Yan Zheng is the heir to the Du family. If he can become the president of Country Z and give the Hess family more opportunities to develop in Country Z, I will no longer value the AO2 Group. So, I will definitely win over these two children."

"But their request..." Qi Ye's eyes flashed, and he didn't know what to say next.

"What's with that look in your eyes? Do you also think that I was the one who killed Jia Mo back then?"

Qi Ye wanted to ask if that was not the case, but his expression remained extremely respectful.

"You weren't my close confidant at that time, so naturally you didn't know. Although I was indeed the one who should have killed Jia Mo among the three, it wasn't me. That's why I asked Jia Li that day."

Seeing Qi Ye's surprised face, Eddie said, "But Jiali is refusing to admit it, so there's nothing I can do. I've looked into the events of 28 years ago countless times, and although I think Jiali is the most likely person, I haven't found any clues."

"So that's why you asked me to check on Mr. Ai'er?" Qi Ye asked.

"Anyway, that person wasn't me, so the only one left who could have killed Jia Mo was not Jia Li, but Al. I don't think it was Al who killed her either. After all... he was someone who could have sacrificed his life for Jia Mo, so how could he have the heart to kill her?"
