Twenty-eight stars
Although she wasn't entirely familiar with the intrigues and schemes involved, the sheer number of coincidences made her second guess a bit more suspicious. "Don't accuse me of conspiracy theories, it just occurred to me that if your second sister could easily snatch a project from you, then perhaps your eldest brother also understands the situation?"
After all, everyone in their family has their own thoughts.
What's more, Feng Xing is not his biological son.
Old Master Feng would never let the inheritance rights fall into the hands of someone who has no blood relationship with him. If he wants to fight for it, he must work harder than them.
Feng Siru only snatched away a project, but what he wanted to do was to snatch away the entire Yunhe.
He wanted to let the old man see that Yunhe was no worse than Feng Chibai under his management, and might even be better than him.
Feng Chibai hadn't thought of all this. But at this moment, he simply curled his lips and said to Lin Tang, "Sui Sui is really smart."
Lin Tang glared at him and said, "Don't keep disgusting me with that tone. I won't help you next time."
She quickly slid down and continued to do her own thing.
…
Once we have a clue about something, the investigation will be quick.
Feng Xing wasn't exactly a smart businessman. Stock purchases left records, and factory acquisitions could be traced back to the company's owners. When his assistant presented the collected evidence to Feng Chibai for review, even Chen Zheng couldn't help but grumble, "Throwing money at a project? What's your brain, big brother?"
With no basis for cooperation, all Feng Xing could do was to pay more money to make everyone trust him.
As for how to get this money, he naturally did not dare to use the Feng family's money, so he privately persuaded some shareholders to sign an agreement. As long as Yunhe was in his hands, he would give back half of Yunhe's shares.
But he failed to consider one point. If those shareholders suddenly changed their minds, then he would have to bear the loss of money alone.
Even though he never cared about the company's affairs, Ye Xincheng was inevitably fooled by his eldest brother Feng Chibai. He held the back of his head, leaned back on the sofa, and joked, "Why is your fourth brother not going to compete? Your eldest brother and second sister are starting to fight over it again."
Chen Zheng couldn't help but agree, "No wonder he said with a cold face that things were very difficult when I came to see him last time."
Feng Chibai slowly closed the document, knowing that Chen Zheng had misunderstood what he had said before, but he did not explain.
He stood up and gave his assistant a few words, then asked the driver to take him back to his old house early tonight. After all, after so many days, it was time for a result.
In the evening, in the side hall.
After the old man came down from the study, Feng Chibai took out a document from his bag and handed it to him, saying in a dull voice, "Grandpa, the previous incident of Yunhe's new products being deliberately sabotaged has been investigated."
Everyone was present at the moment, and Feng Xing's brows furrowed when he heard this. But seeing that Feng Chibai's expression was normal, and considering that he had previously instructed the shareholders to keep the matter confidential, and that he had promised enough chips and was confident they wouldn't go back on their word, his uneasiness faded slightly.
Just a moment later, when the old man's face was extremely gloomy, Feng Chibai suddenly raised his eyes and fixed his gaze on Feng Xing leisurely: "I don't know why big brother did this?"
As if asking, there was a barely perceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.
Feng Xing's expression changed instantly when he heard this, but he had to remain calm: "Third brother, are you kidding me?"
The smile on Feng Chibai's face deepened, but it didn't reach his eyes. His tone was also a little fiery and medicinal: "Isn't it clearer whether I am joking or not, Big Brother?"
Feng Xing was about to argue, but the old man suddenly yelled, "Asshole! Is this how you treat your own brothers?"
He panicked and said quickly, "No, Grandpa, there must be a misunderstanding."
He glared at Feng Chibai with a piercing gaze, his breathing becoming irregular as he cursed, "Third brother, you are so indiscriminately accusing me! You have ulterior motives!"
"I think you are the one with ulterior motives. You proposed to join Yunhe for no apparent reason. I don't know what you are thinking." It was a rare occasion that Feng Junming was willing to speak for Feng Chibai from his perspective.
Although he had all the right thoughts in his mind, since Feng Yunjing was useless, he could only pin his hopes on Feng Chibai, at least to start with the emotional card. At least Feng Chibai was still his own son, and he would never watch the family property fall into the hands of an outsider.
When a wall falls, everyone pushes it. Feng Siru always judges the situation. Seeing this, she walked over to the old man, supported him, and said lightly, "Brother, this is your fault. We are all family. If the internal fighting gets out, it will make people laugh."
Feng Xing glared at her angrily, his face beginning to show some embarrassment. He could only stubbornly say to Feng Junming, "Second uncle is naturally protecting his own son. Humph, it's just that seeing that Fourth Brother is useless, he's concerned about his own abandoned child again."
"Shut up!" Feng Junye scolded him angrily, then turned to the old man and asked, "Is there any misunderstanding here?"
Although he is not his biological son, he has raised him for so many years. He still doesn't want to believe that his son would do this.
The old man threw the documents in his hand to him, his voice trembling with anger: "Look for yourself and see if this is a misunderstanding!"
The moment the document was unfolded, Feng Xing also vaguely caught a glimpse of some of the contents, and his expression became even uglier. At this moment, a phone call came in.
Xu Jianyun was unhappy with what he had just said about his son, and sneered, "Hey, why didn't you answer it?"
Feng Xing pulled out his phone with stiff fingers. It was his assistant calling him. He hadn't answered the first call in time when another came in. He turned down the volume, took a breath, and then answered it with a forced calmness.
But the tone on the other end was not relaxed. The assistant told him that the Wen family had withdrawn their investment, including the companies that had been previously negotiated with, and all the contracts were torn up without exception. He spent a lot of money to buy Yunhe's stocks, and then sold them at a low price. All the money was wasted.
His chest heaved violently, his eyes widened, his face flushed red, and he pointed at Feng Chibai and cursed, "You hurt me!"
In stark contrast to his embarrassment, Feng Chibai said calmly, "I don't understand what Big Brother is saying."
"Feng Chibai, stop pretending. Now all the shareholders have withdrawn their investment, and you dare to say that this was not done by you!" Everything that had been agreed upon collapsed, causing the stock of the previously operated company to plummet, but Feng Chibai bought a large number of them at a low price. Originally, the company was named after him, but now Feng Chibai had become the boss of the company.
Feng Chibai curled his lips, his tone still nonchalant: "Brother, are you admitting that you did what happened to Yunhe? I'm just... giving him a taste of his own medicine."
Now, the consequences of the account deficit had to be borne entirely by Feng Xing. He simply couldn't afford to pay so much money. He was so angry that he couldn't even maintain his remaining dignity. He threw away his rationality and cursed, "You bastard, you have a mother but no mother to raise you. You deserve your mother to be hit by a car and killed!"
As soon as he said this, Feng Chibai's face suddenly changed. He gritted his teeth, the rationality in his eyes fading. Just as he was about to lose control of his emotions and rush forward, a hand pushed him back a step.
The next second, a crisp slap sounded.
The force did not subside at all, as if it was exerted with all its strength, causing Feng Xing's face to tilt uncontrollably to the side.
He was stunned, looking at Lin Tang who suddenly appeared in front of him in a daze, and yelled again: "Why did you hit me!"
"Why? Because he's my husband. What's wrong with me defending my husband? What's wrong with me not being able to stand seeing my husband being bullied? As a member of the Feng family, is this the only kind of education you have?"
She spoke almost through gritted teeth, each word powerful and resounding.
The man behind her was breathing heavier. Afraid that his sanity would be consumed by anger, she turned around and held his hand tightly, whispering, "I'll do it."
Feng Xing's words were almost tearing his face apart. They were very piercing to Old Master Feng's ears. He struck Feng Xing with a stick, and his cane couldn't help but tremble as he pointed it at Feng Junye: "Boss, this is the good son you raised!"
Feng Siru hurriedly calmed him down and said softly, "Grandpa, calm down. Don't get angry and hurt yourself."
Sensing the slightest movement behind him, Lin Tang stood firmly in front of him. After catching his breath, he discussed with the old man, "Grandpa, they've set their sights on one of our own family. This is no small matter. Can we just turn a blind eye to it just because he's the eldest brother?"
"Shut up! You have no right to speak in this family!" As soon as Feng Xing said this, he was slapped by Feng Junye again.
He stared at his son angrily: "Isn't this embarrassing enough?"
The old man panted hard, pounding his cane, and gave Lin Tang a positive answer: "Of course this matter must be dealt with."
She could sense that the man behind her was on the verge of losing control, so after getting the old man's answer, she dragged him back to the room.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the man sitting on the sofa. His chest was still trembling and heaving, and his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
The next second, she covered his eyes with her hands.
When his vision was completely plunged into darkness, Feng Chibai froze for a moment. He placed his palm on the back of her hand and tried to remove it, but he heard her say, "Not being able to see anything is the easiest way to calm down. You need to calm down now."
The force on her hand suddenly loosened a little.
After a long time, his breathing gradually calmed down. In the darkness, he calmly asked, "Why did you stop me just now?"
Lin Tang released his hand, bent down again, held his shoulder, looked him straight in the eye, and said, "Isn't it going to stop you from fighting him? Didn't I ask my grandfather what he would think last time? Why don't you consider the consequences this time? Do you want to get your other hand injured again?"
She said angrily, "Besides, have you forgotten why you came to me in the first place? If you do this once or twice, are you still going to fight for your family property?"
What would the old man think of him if he made mistakes so frequently in front of him? Is he still qualified to take on such a big responsibility?
"Feng Chibai, didn't you say I was a death-proof golden ticket? Now that we've made it clear, that means you can use me at any time to deal with those you dislike."
She softened her tone but spoke seriously.
Seeing him stunned, his scarlet eyes staring at her unblinkingly, her throat moved. She took a deep breath and asked again, "Have you figured it out now? Are you awake? If you're still not awake, I'll slap you in the face too."
He still didn't reply, as if he'd been drugged into muteness. His mouth moved, but he couldn't utter a single word. It was as if his brain had only one instruction for him: look at her.
Thinking he had just said something too harsh, Lin Tang let go of him and explained as he stood up, "I was just kidding. I didn't really mean to hit you."
Suddenly, he grabbed her wrist. She was startled, and when she saw the faint moisture in his eyes, her breath stopped for a moment.
Feng Xing's words just now, even if they fell into the ears of a stranger like her, would have made her feel very uncomfortable, let alone him. But she was not very good at comforting people. The only thing she could think of at this moment was the plot she had seen in the TV series.
So she followed their example, approaching him hesitantly and hugging him gently.
Suddenly, there was a force on her waist, pulling her towards him.
He slowly closed his eyes and buried his head in her shoulder, his hot breath falling on her neck without any obstruction.
Lin Tang froze and didn't move, letting him deepen the hug.
After a long while, she heard him say in a hoarse voice in her ear: "Awake."
If Feng Xing was targeting another company, the old man might have turned a blind eye, but he was targeting his own company, and he said such harsh words, the old man could not tolerate it.
He was directly dismissed from all his positions in the companies under the name of the Feng family. Feng Junye was soft-hearted and made up for the deficit for him. After all, he was his own son, and he couldn't just sit back and watch.
But at least during this year, the old man asked him to reflect carefully and would never give him any project again.
