He deliberately emphasized the word "heartfelt", and each word was like a needle tempered by ice.
Chao Nanxing's brows furrowed sharply! Wu Meng? Xu Jinshi?! He wasn't completely oblivious, but that woman always hid it well.
He was more focused on expanding the group and investigating Wu Zeyu, and considered her a harmless pastime. But the words "using the Chao family's money" and "fleeing far away" instantly ignited his most sensitive nerves—money and betrayal!
A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he grabbed the USB drive from the desk and, with suppressed anger, roughly inserted it into the computer port. The only sounds in the study were the cold clicks of the mouse and the clacking of the keyboard.
Chao Nanxing's expression became increasingly gloomy and darker as the pages turned on the screen, like the sky before a storm.
High-definition photos: Wu Meng's car entering and leaving Jingyue Apartment late at night; Wu Meng and Xu Jinshi whispering in each other's ears in a private restaurant; even the backs of them cuddling in the gap between the curtains!
A clear screenshot of the bank transfer record: the recipient was "Xu Jinshi Studio." The long string of zeros in the amount stung his eyes! This amount was enough to trigger an audit storm within the group!
A specially processed recording (Chao Youye used technical means to intercept and enhance the key parts) - it was the crazy voice of Wu Meng hysterically threatening Xu Jin in the corridor to pay back the money, mentioning "checking the accounts" and "it's over"!
"Asshole!!!" A furious roar resounded like thunder! Chao Nanxing slammed the mouse in his hand against the wall! The expensive electronic device instantly shattered into pieces!
His chest heaved violently, his face turned from ashen to a terrifying purple, and veins on his forehead throbbing. It was the overwhelming rage of being betrayed by the person closest to him, and the huge fear of possibly getting into trouble!
Wu Meng, that fool! How dare she act so brazenly! And she was caught with such a fatal handle! If this gets out...
His bloodshot eyes suddenly shot towards Chao Youye who was still standing there calmly. The look in his eyes was no longer one of scrutiny, but of a ferocious beast that wanted to eat him alive!
"Where did you get these?!" Chao Nanxing's voice was hoarse and distorted due to extreme anger, and it was filled with murderous intent. "What do you want to do?!"
"Why is father so angry?" Chao Youye's voice was still terrifyingly calm, as if he was talking about the weather.
"The source isn't important. What's important is if this information appears in tomorrow's board meeting materials, or if it's accidentally leaked to the financial media outlets that have been keeping an eye on the Chao family..."
He paused briefly, his violet eyes meeting his father's piercing gaze without a flicker of averting his gaze. "How many times do you think Chao's stock price will drop? How will those eager competitors capitalize on this opportunity?"
"Also, will Brother Zeyu's newly launched, highly anticipated 'elite training camp' suddenly become a laughing stock in the entire circle? Or even... implicate you?"
"You threaten me?!" Chao Nanxing stood up suddenly, his huge body carrying a terrifying sense of oppression, almost pouncing over the desk.
He had never imagined that his son, whom he had always regarded as a tool and an inheritance that needed to be polished, would be so bold as to put a knife to his neck in this way.
"It's not a threat, father." Chao Youye shook his head slightly, and even a hint of very faint, compassionate sarcasm appeared on his face.
"It's self-protection, and also... clearing the Chao family's slate clean. Aunt Wu's actions have severely damaged the family's interests. I'm simply helping you see the truth when... perhaps you've been blinded by some family affection."
He took a small step forward, getting closer to the desk. His voice became even lower, but every word was like an ice pick, drilling into Chaonanxing's eardrums: "Of course, these things can disappear forever. I can also pretend that nothing happened. The premise is-"
Chao Youye's gaze suddenly became as sharp as a knife, with an unquestionable determination:
"First, Wu Meng must immediately and completely leave the Chao family, surrender all of her Chao-related shares and positions, and leave the house empty-handed. She and her illegitimate son, Wu Zeyu, will have nothing to do with the Chao family from now on!"
"Secondly, the building materials supply chain project managed by Dingfeng in the Chengdong New District will immediately terminate all cooperation with Hongyuan Building Materials and initiate an internal audit and legal proceedings!
All relevant responsible persons must be dealt with according to the law and will not be tolerated!" He deliberately emphasized "Hongyuan Building Materials" and "responsible persons", pointing the finger directly at Wu Zeyu!
"Third," Chao Youye looked directly at Chao Zhenghong's face which was distorted by shock and rage, and spoke each word clearly.
"From now on, all core decision-making power of the Chao Group will be fully taken over by me, Chao Youye. It's time for you to 'retire' and enjoy your remaining years."
"Don't even think about it!!!" Chao Nanxing completely lost control. Like a completely enraged lion, he slammed his huge palm hard on the mahogany desk, making a dull loud noise.
The documents, pen holder and ashtray on the table jumped up due to the shock.
"You little bastard! Do you think you can force me to abdicate with this despicable thing?! I am your father! I built the Chao family with my own hands! You want to seize power? Dream on!!"
He pointed at Chao Youye's nose, spit flying everywhere, his voice trembling with extreme anger: "I will have you locked up right now! All these filthy things of yours destroyed! Let's see who dares to touch me, Chao Nanxing..."
"Father," Chao Youye interrupted his hysterical roar coldly. Her voice was not loud, but it was like pouring ice water on his head, instantly making Chao Zhenghong's angry curse stuck in his throat.
He slowly took out his cell phone from his pocket. The screen was lit, showing an interface indicating an ongoing call. The call duration—surprisingly, it had started counting from the moment he entered the study!
