Chapter 562: Twenty-five million in exchange for a secret
Xiang Mingzhu sobbed softly.
I feel so much regret.
If it happens again, she will never do such a stupid thing.
"Stop crying! It sounds unlucky. Father is not dead yet!" No matter how good Xiang Tao's temper was, he was annoyed by her crying.
He was about to take out his cell phone to check what was happening online when he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure at the end of the corridor.
"Xiang Ze!"
Xiang Tao recognized the figure and shouted loudly.
But Xiang Ze acted as if he didn't hear it and just left.
Xiang Tao guessed that he should have come to visit his father, but why didn't he show up?
Since the needle test meeting, Xiang Ze has been living a life of drunkenness and debauchery in the bar. He is also the most unremarkable of all the Xiang family children. Some people used to say that Xiang Ze is not his biological son.
His father valued him and Mingzhu more and ignored his two younger brothers.
Their father-son relationship has always been cold.
Xiang Tao sighed and didn't think about it anymore.
…
Xiang Ze walked out of the hospital with a gloomy face.
He still reeked of a hangover, having seen the news online and come to see what was going on. The hospital staff knew he was the young master of the Xiang family, so they didn't stop him.
Unexpectedly, his father's health condition was worse than he thought.
He had always been the least respected of these siblings, so the Guan family birthday party also made him plan to have sex with Guan Jingtan and was caught by everyone. After all, as the eldest son, Xiang Tao could not do such a shameful thing.
He loves and hates his father.
Just now, he overheard the conversation between his father and Xiang Mingzhu outside the ward and noticed something was wrong.
In the Lenovo trial meeting, both the Lu and Xiang families failed.
A key figure was discovered.
Xiang Ze sneered, the tyranny in his heart almost wanting to destroy the entire world. He took out his phone and sent a text message to a familiar number, then took a taxi to his destination.
An hour later.
The taxi stopped outside a quiet and secluded teahouse.
Xiang Ze slowly pushed open the glass door and walked in. Led by the waiter, he walked to the semi-enclosed private room. The layout here was separated by running water and small viewing areas.
This private room is decorated with low bamboos and flowing water, which has a very ancient atmosphere.
Sitting inside was a woman with an elegant posture and long flowing hair.
Her face was fair, and when her willow-shaped eyes caught sight of him, she couldn't help but frown: "Why do you stink so badly?"
Xiang Ze casually sat across from her: "Why do you care if I stink or not?"
He doesn't have to pretend anymore.
Lu Yingxue looked at him and said, "Just because it was just streaking, you've completely fallen?"
Hearing this, Xiang Ze's eyes flashed with hatred. "Whether I fall or not has nothing to do with you. Since you're here, it means you're interested in the deal I'm talking about."
"Tell me, what exactly is the news about Zhong Yi?"
Lu Yingxue held a teacup and said lightly.
She originally didn't want to come because Lu Bannong said that the Xiang family was now in a precarious situation.
The only turning point was Xiang Hai's health. The Lu family had nursed him back to health for years, but he still hadn't gotten to this point.
Her uncle is moody and has to attend social events every day. Even a great god can't save such a person.
His father concluded that he was at the end of his strength and no medicine could help him.
So the Lu family didn't want to get involved in this scandal.
There was a lot of negative news online today, and with Xie Xubai's shareholder status revealed, the Lu family didn't intervene to save the Xiang Group, but instead was busy devouring the Xiang family's interests behind the scenes.
Eat more and your family will become stronger.
The Xiang family cannot be saved, but the Lu family has the hope of becoming one of the four major families.
Family affection is just like this in the face of interests.
Xiang Ze stretched out his hand and spread it out.
"I want the money."
Lu Yingxue impatiently pulled out a bank card. "Twenty million is too much. Here's half. The password is six sixes. I have to assess whether your information is worth the price. Don't ask for twenty million."
Xiang Ze sneered, "You're the female Hua Tuo of the imperial capital, can't you even come up with 20 million? Cousin, you have hundreds of millions in your own pocket, right? 20 million is like cutting off your flesh."
Xiang Ze leaned back and said, "If you don't pay me, I won't say a word."
It’s just gambling!
How important is the news about gambling Zhongyi to Lu Yingxue?
Lu Yingxue stared at Xiang Ze with a cold look in her eyes: "What do you want so much money for?"
Xiang Ze laughed and said, "Run away."
He didn't hide this from Lu Yingxue: "I haven't wanted to stay in this family for a long time. My father has fallen ill, and no one can control me. I can take the money and go abroad to live a carefree life. No one will know me. Isn't that good?"
All of his private properties and investments were sold for a considerable amount.
Before leaving, he wanted to take advantage of Lu Yingxue.
Lu Yingxue narrowed her eyes, as if recognizing Xiang Ze's true face for the first time: "I didn't expect you to be so heartless. I thought you were very honest. The Xiang family hasn't reached its worst point yet. If my uncle..."
"Lu Yingxue, there's no need to test me. My father is truly doomed this time. The Xiang Group, left in the hands of that wimp Xiang Tao, will only decline. Besides, Xie Xubai won't do anything without confidence. Most importantly, your Lu family is avoiding him as much as possible... The Xiang family's defeat is certain!"
Now that the identity of the shareholder has been revealed, it means that he is determined to win.
Xiang Ze saw through it!
Lu Yingxue said, "You're really smart, much smarter than those three idiots. It's a pity that your uncle doesn't value you. Sometimes parents just can't treat their children equally. Your aunt shouldn't have gone abroad back then... maybe she could have been better to you."
Xiang Ze smiled indifferently: "Why did she go abroad? Don't you Lu family members know best?"
He showed a hint of impatience. "I'm not here to chat with you. If you don't want this information, I'll have to go find Zhong Yi. I'll see if he'll buy it. I think his offer will be higher than yours."
He was very confident, which made Lu Yingxue even more confident.
She took out the checkbook from her bag and wrote another check for 10 million.
"Twenty million, tell me!"
She put the check in front of Xiang Ze.
Xiang Ze smiled meaningfully: "You've delayed for so long, and now the price has changed. Twenty-five million, I won't sell it for a penny less!"
"Xiang Ze, don't go too far!"
"Cousin, you weren't polite when you used our Xiang family to build momentum for yourself. Female Hua Tuo, you're not short of money, are you?" His tone was a little sarcastic. "I'm sure Zhong Yi will buy my information and give me enough hush money."
Lu Yingxue suppressed her anger and wrote another check for five million.
"You'd better not push your luck, or I'll make sure you can't get to Zhongyi."
Xiang Ze patted his chest and said, "I'm really scared. I've seen the Lu family's methods before. They created an accidental fire in an attempt to completely destroy the descendants of Cheng's acupuncture, but in the end it was the old woman who died. Now I've come to the imperial capital to settle the score."
He kept both the check and the bank card.
Lu Yingxue said coldly: "Can you tell me now?"
