Chapter 568: Love is about to start, how can it be stopped?
Xiang Hai is dead?
Special Assistant Ning on the other end of the phone spoke clearly, "Our boss Xie sent someone to stake out the hospital and discovered that something was amiss with Xiang Tao and Xiang Mingzhu. He found a nurse and infiltrated, and heard that Xiang Hai had died despite efforts to save him."
The head of one of the four major families died just like that.
It's really sad!
"The Xiang family must be in turmoil right now, but the news is still being kept secret. Even the middle and senior management within the Xiang Group don't know about it, only the Xiang family themselves know. Xiang Tao will definitely choose to keep the death a secret until the Xiang Group is stabilized."
This is a choice that any normal person would make.
At this critical juncture, if the news of Xiang Hai's death were to spread, the Xiang family would surely be finished due to the joint efforts of several families.
"Another discovery: Xiang Ze left the country overnight! He must have sensed the Xiang Group's crisis and sold several properties, luxury cars, and other luxury goods at low prices during the day, absconding with the proceeds."
All signs indicate that the Xiang family is really finished!
Xie Xubai's special assistant spoke again after careful consideration: "Our President Xie would like to ask what you plan to do next?"
Huo Xingzhou switched his hand to hold the phone, buttoned up his shirt with his right hand, and asked, "What does Xie Xubai think?"
"Our President Xie said that since he and Xiang Tao grew up together, he should be given one night to catch his breath. Let's see if he can turn the tide. If he can't, it means that the heir of the Xiang family is incompetent and will not be able to protect the Xiang family in the future."
Huo Xingzhou smiled faintly, "He's quite a nice guy. Does Xie Xubai recite a Buddhist sutra for the fish before killing it?"
After all, he was soaked in sandalwood and really had a bit of Zen about him.
"Mr. Huo, you're such a jokester, but Mr. Xie prefers to eat vegetarian food and rarely eats meat or fish."
"No wonder I couldn't chew a piece of fat meat for so many years. It turns out I'm just a picky eater."
Huo Xingzhou said calmly, "Public pressure will continue. We'll see what kind of crisis public relations response Xiang Tao can come up with tomorrow. Everything will turn around when it reaches its extreme. We really need to loosen up the Xiang family's nerves."
Special Assistant Ning guessed what he meant and said, "So you agree with our President Xie's approach?"
"Don't call me at night unless it's extremely urgent. I'm not like Xie Xubai, a lonely man."
Huo Xingzhou hung up the phone directly.
Qiao Xi leaned against the bed and asked him, "Any business?"
Huo Xingzhou pressed the power button and said, "It's gone now? I'll give you a bath to prevent the wound from getting wet."
His eyes were dark and he stared at her intensely.
Qiao Xi paused, then nodded slowly: "Don't wash for too long."
The man chuckled: "That's not up to me, nor you."
Once the passion starts, it can't be stopped just like that.
People cannot control their inner desires all the time.
Besides, he didn't want to restrain himself.
…
On the other end of the phone.
Special Assistant Ning sat in the passenger seat, looking at the black screen of his phone, then turned to look at Xie Xubai in the back seat.
"Mr. Xie, he hung up and mocked you."
Xie Xubai looked out the window at the majestic Imperial Capital People's Hospital and asked nonchalantly, "What is he mocking me for?"
"They said you're alone, so don't call him in the middle of the night." Special Assistant Ning relayed the truth and even added fuel to the fire. "Come to think of it, Mr. Huo is two years younger than you."
He has a wife and a warm bed, and maybe he will have a child in no time.
However, Mr. Xie in their family is still a bachelor, and he was rejected when he proposed to be someone's brother-in-law.
Xie Xubai showed a gentle smile on his face: "Do you want to change your boss?"
"I didn't mean that, hehe."
The flickering street lights on the roadside were reflected in Xie Xubai's eyes, as if they were shining brightly.
His unique temperament was brought to the fore.
"Ning Yuan, contact Xiang Tao now. Tell him to give me twelve hours to do crisis public relations and save the Xiang family. During these twelve hours, we will not take any action against the Xiang family. After this time, the Xie family will take the initiative to attack."
Always leave some room for others and don't push them into a desperate situation.
If I sell my property like Xiang Ze did, I can live a more comfortable life in the second half of my life.
"Yes, I'll call now."
…
In the intensive care unit of the hospital.
Xiang Mingzhu cried so desperately that she could hardly breathe.
The moment the doctor announced that rescue was ineffective.
Her mind went blank and her whole world seemed to be upside down.
She... pissed off her own father to death.
Such a huge pot fell down and almost knocked her unconscious.
Even the look in her eldest brother's eyes when he looked at her seemed to be filled with a bit of annoyance and hatred. He hated her for pissing their father off to death.
Xiang Mingzhu covered her lips, but her tears still leaked out.
Xiang Tao's face was gloomy, his eyes red. He glanced at Xiang Mingzhu coldly, his voice hoarse and trembling, "Now... are you satisfied? It was clearly a win-win situation, but your jealousy ruined it all!"
"Everyone outside is waiting to see the Xiang family make a fool of themselves. This time, let alone maintaining the Xiang family's status, it's even a question whether they can gain a foothold in the imperial capital!"
Xiang Tao's heart was cold, and he slowly forced back his tears.
"Originally, after Lu Yingxue won the championship, our Xiang family and the Lu family would be able to take it to the next level and squeeze out the Guan family without any problem! Xiang Mingzhu, one wrong step will lead to more mistakes."
"Brother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I really didn't expect to piss off Father to death. I said those things out of anger..."
Xiang Mingzhu knelt in front of him and begged him, "I really regret it!"
She regretted it so much that her intestines turned green.
"Brother, hit me. Beat me to death so that I can pay for my father's life. I would rather die than live..."
Xiang Tao shook her hand away, his throat so sore that he couldn't speak.
As the eldest son of the Xiang family, he had no right to wallow in grief. There was still a huge mess waiting for him to clean up.
Xiang Tao wiped away the tears that had overflowed from his eyes and looked at the medical staff in the room. "Everyone is familiar with my Xiang family. Please keep the news of my father's death confidential. I will announce it after the Xiang family is stable."
"Okay, my lord."
"Yes, young master."
The Xiang family is in the pharmaceutical business, and these are all our own people.
He keeps his mouth shut.
Xiang Tao felt better. He said, "No matter who asks, I'll tell them my father is in good health. He just needs a simple recuperation and will be well in a while. Please, everyone!"
He bowed deeply.
"Young Master, please don't be so polite. This is our job."
"Don't worry, we will keep it absolutely confidential. No matter which media outlet asks, we will maintain a unified statement."
Xiang Tao nodded slightly.
He was about to call the company to inquire about the situation, but he received a call from home.
Xiang Tao answered the phone.
"Young Master, the Second Young Master sold off his property, cars, and a ton of luxury goods, took all the family money, and ran away from home! We couldn't stop him, so what should we do now?"
It's like adding insult to injury.
Xiang Tao was so angry that he almost couldn't stand. "What did you say? Xiang Ze fled the country?"
At this critical moment of life and death for the Xiang family, Xiang Ze actually ran away!
