Chapter 430: Exchange Resources with Xunxun
She suddenly pulled something out of her pocket and slammed it hard on the deck.
It was a small silver longevity lock with the word "Xuan" engraved on it, and the edges and corners were polished to a shine.
"He bought this for me back then, saying he would protect me forever. But what happened? He protected the Xi family's assets and his ridiculous reputation!"
Xi Muxuan's voice gradually faded, filled with a kind of broken despair. "Xuanyuan Pavilion, you always say that the deal is fair, but have you ever calculated how much of my life has been lost to this transaction?"
Xunxun looked at the longevity lock and suddenly remembered that she also had one hanging around her neck. It was given to her by her mother, who said it was passed down from her grandmother.
He reached out and touched it. The cool metal against his chest seemed to give him some courage.
"Auntie," he mustered up the courage to look up, "my mom said that when you're sad, think about happy things. Like... like when you're eating strawberry cake."
Xi Muxuan ignored him and even thought that this child was really noisy.
I don’t know why Shen Hanxing wants to snatch this child.
I really can't get over it.
She stared at Xuanyuan Pavilion and said, "Now, it's time to settle our accounts."
She took a deep breath, as if she had made a major decision: "I can release the child, but the Xuanyuan family must agree to two conditions."
Xuanyuan Ge immediately said, "You say."
"First, transfer all the core technologies and patents of Xuanyuan Group's new energy projects to Xi's unconditionally." Xi Muxuan's eyes were like ice.
"Second, the Xuanyuan family will permanently withdraw from the new energy field and will not be allowed to compete with the Xi family again."
Qi Moxun snorted softly from behind, but was stopped by Xuanyuan Ge with a look.
Xuanyuan Ge looked at Xi Muxuan with a calm tone.
"New energy is the core of Xuanyuan Family's strategy for the next ten years. You're not trying to trade, you're trying to cut off their financial resources."
"What else?"
Xi Muxuan smiled, "Can you repay what you owe to the Xi family with just a few lighthearted explanations?
I want the Xi family to dominate the new energy sector. I want everyone to know that the Xi family doesn't survive on the Xuanyuan family's charity. I want those who looked down on me back then to kneel before me!"
Her voice became more and more excited, and her hands unconsciously clenched tightly, very close to Xunxun's neck.
Xunxun was so scared that she closed her eyes, but she was thinking in her heart, will my uncle agree?
If I agree, will my uncle be very sad?
It's all because of him that my uncle is in such a difficult situation.
Tears fell uncontrollably again, hitting the deck and leaving a small wet mark.
"I'm sorry..." he choked, "It's all my fault..."
Xuanyuan Ge's heart felt like it was being tugged at. He took a step forward and looked at Xi Muxuan with a determined gaze.
"We can discuss the project, but not the core technology. I can have the Xuanyuan family invest in the Xi family's new energy project, holding no more than 30% of the shares, only receiving dividends but not participating in management. This will ensure the Xi family's absolute dominance and allow the project to be implemented more quickly."
"Don't try that on me!" Xi Muxuan interrupted him harshly, "What I want is an absolute monopoly! I want you to get out completely!"
"impossible."
Xuanyuan Ge's tone hardened. "The Xuanyuan family's business was built by generations of hard work. I have no right to give it away just because of personal grudges."
"But for Xunxun, I can promise you that in the next five years, the Xuanyuan family will not expand into the domestic new energy market, giving the Xi family enough room for development."
"not enough!"
Xi Muxuan suddenly pulled Xunxun over, strangled his waist with her arm, and her other hand had grasped the knife that was flashing with cold light and pressed it against the child's neck.
"Either agree to my terms, or let this child be buried with the deal we made!"
"don't want!"
Xunxun screamed in fear, her little hands clinging to Xi Muxuan's arms, "Auntie, let me go! I'm scared!"
Xuanyuan Ge's pupils suddenly contracted, and the air pressure around him dropped to an alarmingly low level.
Qi Moxun took a step forward and whispered, "Brother Ge, I can't agree to this. This is like drinking poison to quench thirst."
Xuanyuan Ge didn't say anything, but just stared at the knife that Xi Muxuan was holding against Xunxun's neck. The tip of the knife had already left a shallow red mark.
He saw Xunxun trembling with fear, but still saying intermittently: "Uncle... leave me alone..."
My heart felt like it was cut by a knife.
What did this child do wrong?
You will be involved in the grudges of the previous generation.
"I promise."
Xuanyuan Ge's voice was hoarse, as if it was squeezed out from deep in his throat. "The new energy project, including all patents, will be transferred to the Xi family. The Xuanyuan family will withdraw from the competition and will never get involved again."
Qi Moxun suddenly looked up: "Xuanyuan Pavilion!"
Xi Muxuan obviously didn't expect him to be so straightforward. She was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "How can I believe you when you have nothing to prove it?"
"I can sign the transfer agreement now."
Xuanyuan Ge took out his phone from the inner pocket of his windbreaker and said, "Qi Moxun, ask the legal department to send the documents over. I will sign them on the spot and notarize them simultaneously."
Qi Moxun's face turned pale, but he still gritted his teeth and replied, "Okay."
Xunxun stared blankly at Xuanyuan Pavilion, tears still on her face, but she had forgotten to cry.
He didn't understand what the new energy project was, nor did he know what it represented. He only knew that Uncle Xuanyuan seemed to have agreed to something very bad for him.
My uncle's face looked so ugly, even uglier than when he knocked over my grandfather's favorite vase.
"Uncle...don't..." He sobbed, "I'm not afraid...really..."
Xuanyuan Ge forced a smile at him, but his eyes were as if immersed in sea water, cold and heavy.
"Don't be afraid, uncle is fine."
The sea breeze was getting stronger and stronger, making it impossible to open one's eyes.
The sirens of the police boats in the distance seemed to be getting closer, but they were blocked by the thick night fog and could not be heard clearly.
Xi Muxuan stared at Xuanyuan Ge signing on his phone. The light from the screen reflected on her face, half bright and half dark, like a shadow trapped by hatred.
"Signed."
Xuanyuan Ge turned his phone screen towards her. "The notarized document will take effect in ten minutes. Now, can we release him?"
Xi Muxuan stared at the screen for a long time, so long that Xunxun thought she would not agree. She slowly loosened her hand that was strangling the child and threw the knife to the ground.
"Get out." Her voice was hoarse. "Take your little burden with you and get out."
Xunxun almost fell towards Xuanyuan Pavilion and was held firmly in his arms.
The child hugged his neck tightly, buried his face in his windbreaker, and burst into tears, shaking all over.
"I'm sorry... Uncle... I'm sorry..."
Xuanyuan Ge patted his back lightly, but his eyes passed over the child's head and fell on Xi Muxuan.
The woman had her back to them, her shoulders shaking slightly, and it was unclear whether she was crying or laughing.
"Qi Moxun, handle the follow-up." He whispered.
"yes."
When I was holding Xunxun and walking out of the cabin, Xunxun suddenly raised her head and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, are you very unhappy?"
Xuanyuan Ge looked down at him. The child's eyes were red, like a frightened little rabbit.
He was silent for a moment, then reached out to wipe the tears from his face: "No, I'm just happy to see Xunxun is okay."
Xunxun nodded, not quite understanding, then buried her face in her eyes and whispered, "Uncle, when I grow up, I will return all your things to you."
Xuanyuan Ge's heart felt like it was gently bumped by something, feeling sore and soft.
He didn't say anything, but just held the child and walked step by step towards the light that was getting brighter and brighter.
The sea breeze blew away some of the fog, and the sky in the east was already faintly pale with a slightly warm orange hue.
It seems that they are at a disadvantage now, but Xi Muxuan, who has an absolute advantage, may be the most dangerous!
