Chapter 377 He Made the Wrong Decision

Shen Jiheng patiently sat down in front of Shen Mu. This cousin was the most powerful director in the company and often came out to contradict him.

Taking advantage of the fact that his family had already grown and established themselves in the business, they started to try and usurp his position.

Shen Jiheng always tried to save face, not wanting things to get too tense and to avoid making a fool of the Shen family in front of outsiders.

However, the other party didn't seem to understand his meaning. Instead, they took advantage of his kindness and promised not to pursue Ding Shan's matter anymore. But in the blink of an eye, they called the police again. Whose face did they slap?

Shen Mu poured him a cup of tea and said politely, "It's been a long time since my nephew and I sat down for a heart-to-heart talk. I remember when you were a child, you would run to me whenever you were wronged at home."

"I've forgotten everything that happened in the past."

Shen Jiheng didn't want to play these useless emotional cards with him.

Shen Mu said, "I still prefer the way you relied on and trusted me when you were little. It's a pity that time can't be turned back, and I'm all old now."

Shen Jiheng fiddled with the teacup, twirling it between his fingers a few times, but stubbornly refused to pick it up and drink.

Shen Mu laughed and said, "What's wrong? This Longjing tea doesn't suit your taste? I have other varieties here. I'll have someone brew another pot for you."

Shen Jiheng lifted the curtain, his eyes revealing a coldness. This person's ability to put on an act has improved quite a bit.

"You should know why I'm here. I don't want to waste my breath on you. Why did you go back on your word and sue her?"

“Ji Heng, you have to understand your uncle. Your nephew is still suffering from aftereffects. He's such a young child, who knows what will become of him in the future? Even your aunt often complains of dizziness.”

Shen Jiheng directly stated: "Words are not enough. Let me take them to the hospital for examination. If these conditions are indeed present, I will treat them."

Shen Mu waved his hand and sighed, "Things aren't as simple as you say. Who knows if there's still an incubation period? They keep bothering me, and I had no choice but to do this."

Shen Jiheng's deep eyes scrutinized him carefully, and he could tell from his words and actions that he was lying.

"I found something interesting before I came here."

As Shen Jiheng spoke, he took out his phone, which showed a picture of Shen Mu and Bo Siye.

Shen Mu calmly replied, "What's so interesting about this? We just met and exchanged a few words. Do you really suspect that I have a relationship with him?"

Shen Jiheng understands all too well the saying in business that the enemy of my enemy can become my friend.

If Shen Mu and Bo Siye share the same interests, they might join forces to deal with him.

Shen Jiheng wasn't afraid of these things; what he couldn't accept was hurting the people around him.

"I'm giving you a friendly reminder: Bo Siyue's intention is to destroy the Shen family, including you."

Shen Mu said calmly, "Of course I know that. There's no way I could have anything to do with that."

“And if you’re going to deal with someone, he’s the one you should be dealing with. He was the one who instructed Ding Shan to poison the birthday cakes.” Shen Jiheng didn’t want him to be blinded by power.

But his current behavior is very worrying to him. It seems that when people reach a certain age, their inner desires are aroused.

Shen Mu repeatedly stated, "I wish I could kill this kid. What possibility is there of cooperating with him? You're overthinking it."

Shen Jiheng stared intently at him and said coldly, "It'd better be that I'm overthinking it, otherwise you won't be able to bear the consequences."

Shen Mu picked up his teacup, took two elegant sips, and said with a smile, "We've talked so much, shouldn't we get down to business?"

"Tell me, what do you want me to do to withdraw the lawsuit?"

“It’s very simple. I want 15 percent of the shares you have. You were able to give 30 percent to Han Xi and her son for no reason. It shouldn’t be a problem to take this back and give half of it to them.”

Shen Mu already holds 15% of the shares. If he were given them according to his demands, he would own 30%.

If he were to acquire shares from other shareholders, he could close the gap with himself.

If things turn out this way, he will have decision-making power over the entire Shen family, and it's impossible to predict how much trouble that will bring him.

"Who taught you this method?"

"It was my own idea. You can consider it. I believe you will make a wise decision."

Shen Jiheng stood up, tugged at his suit jacket, and said, "Do you think that after I compromise, you can gradually seize Shen's assets, eventually oust me, and take control yourself?"

Shen Mu shook his head with a smile: "Absolutely not. That's your idea."

Shen Jiheng didn't reply. Instead, he picked up the purple clay teapot on the table, shook it, and tossed it into the air.

With a 'bang,' the teapot fell down, smashing the cups on the tea table to pieces, spilling tea and tea leaves all over the floor.

Shen Mu stared at him with wide eyes, and then heard him laugh and say, "I have been trying to maintain peace with you, but you broke it yourself. So don't blame me for what happens next. It's fine if you don't drop the charges, but you can go to jail first."

After saying that, Shen Jiheng didn't explain further and turned to walk out.

He was able to say those words with such confidence, which means he must have been prepared beforehand.

Looking at the mess in front of him, Shen Mu turned his head and stared intently at Shen Jiheng's back. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, refusing to believe that after so many years, he still couldn't defeat this junior.

After Shen Jiheng got into the car, Qin Chuan noticed his serious expression, guessing that his negotiations with Shen Mu had failed.

"Immediately hand over the collected evidence to the procuratorate and have them arrest Shen Mu as soon as possible."

Qin Chuan naturally understood what he meant and whispered a reminder: "President, if this evidence is released, it might damage the reputation of the Shen family. Are you really sure?"

Although it's unclear what they discussed, Shen Jiheng's reaction was enough to show how angry he was.

Shen Jiheng sneered, "The Shen family can afford to lose face, but trying to threaten me is the worst decision he's ever made."

Qin Chuan nodded: "I understand, I'll go arrange it right away."

Shen Jiheng came to see him today mainly to see his attitude. He originally planned to say some things, but Shen Mu's nonchalant attitude really annoyed him.

Since that's the case, let him experience what it's like to go against him.

Shen Jiheng had long ago obtained evidence of the crimes he had committed through the company over the past ten years, enough to put him in jail for ten years.

However, this person doesn't even have this much awareness, yet he still dares to think that he and Bo Siye can deal with him together. He is truly overestimating himself, like an ant trying to shake a tree.

Han Xi was still waiting at the door of the emergency room. When Shen Jiheng returned, his expression told her that things hadn't been settled.

Shen Jiheng stepped forward, took her hand, and asked, "Haven't you come out yet?"

Han Xi shook her head: "Still receiving blood transfusions. How are things on your end?"

“It’s a little different from what I expected, so I’ll handle it in a different way. Don’t worry, I’ve already sent Attorney Ye and the others over. They won’t detain your aunt.”

Shen Jiheng will force him to beg to withdraw the lawsuit, to make Shen Mu understand what he relied on to get to the position of power.

Han Xi hadn't seen this kind of murderous aura in him for a long time; it seemed he had really angered him.
