Chapter 359 Sudden

Lian Mubai gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and suppressed his dissatisfaction as much as possible.

He's tired of hearing this kind of talk over the past month.

It would be fine if he were somewhere else, but he had had enough of this place with no water or electricity and no living infrastructure at all.

Before he came, he had never thought that even to take a shower, he would have to walk for 20 minutes to the lake in the mountains.

This reminded him of the time when he was first chased into the wilderness by Meng Zhiyi and experienced the same thing.

Is he a savage?!

To endure this kind of suffering!

"Give me another ten days, and I'll definitely be able to do it within ten days!" Eric promised.

"Five days. I don't want to wait even one more day!" Lian Mubai gritted his teeth.

Originally, his purpose of coming to China this time was to find Shen Que.

Before this, judging from Ji Ping's report, the person who could become Meng Zhiyi's weak spot was Shen Que.

But he didn't expect that on the night of Jie Qing's birthday banquet, he saw Old Madam Shen.

No one knows better than Lian Mubai how important this person is to Meng Zhiyi.

It was because of her that Meng Zhiyi risked being wiped out and forcibly disrupted the world order to send her and his system away.

Of course, I am also a beneficiary of that incident.

Therefore, it is better to control Old Madam Shen than Shen Que.

As long as I have this person in my hand, I won't have to worry about not being able to get Meng Zhiyi!

Eric was really upset inside, but he still agreed with a bitter face.

"Okay, five days is five days."

After hanging up the phone, Lian Mubai wandered around the rooftop with some breathing difficulties, but he became excited when he thought about achieving his goal immediately.

"Meng Zhiyi, I am looking forward to it. What choice will you make then?"

Here, after hanging up the phone, Ai Rui returned to his flattering face and went behind Jie Lingxue.

Old Madam Shen glanced at him coldly, her displeasure clearly revealed.

Ai Rui lowered his eyes, with a hint of fierceness in his eyes.

This damn old woman, even if Lian Mu Bai didn't cause trouble, he wouldn't let her go easily.

It was obvious that after Jie Qing died, he could take over the entire Jie family and everything from them.

But an old woman happened to show up in the middle of the process and took control of the Xie family's business.

Although he knew that it was not an easy task to take back the Xie family's property from Old Madam Shen, Ai Rui was not idle. During this time, he kept urging Xie Lingxue to check out the Xie family's property.

On the surface, it was to let Xie Lingxue learn more about the situation so that she wouldn't be too busy when she took over. But in reality, iResearch was looking for the right opportunity to start from the industry to cause conflicts.

Jiejia’s businesses cover a wide range, from daily necessities to real estate and the food industry.

Ai Rui followed Jie Lingxue on the inspection and finally determined his goal.

"You don't need to discuss taking over the business with me anymore. According to your father's will, as long as you divorce him and never contact him again, I will immediately return all the Xie family's businesses to you."

"But if you still refuse to change your mind, even after I die, I will make a will to hand over the Xie family's business to Shen Que for management. When you come to your senses, I will return it to you."

Mrs. Shen's tone was unquestionable, and she firmly stated her attitude that the management rights would not be returned while Jie Lingxue and Ai Rui's marriage continued.

Xie Lingxue was very angry, but she didn't dare to confront Old Madam Shen directly.

Eric had guessed this result a long time ago, so he had no regrets. Instead, he became more determined about his next move.

"Xiaoxue, forget it. We can rely on ourselves in the future." Ai Rui reached out to support Jie Lingxue and spoke in a low voice.

Xie Lingxue wanted to say something, but when she met Madam Shen's sharp eyes, she had to swallow it back.

In the end, the two had to return empty-handed and left the Shen family.

On the way, Ai Rui took Jie Lingxue shopping to relax. After they had been shopping in the mall for more than an hour, he found an excuse to let Jie Lingxue go home first.

After that, I bought a new set of clothes at the mall and dressed up, then went straight to learn about the food industry under my family's name.

This is a brand chain store, and is considered one of the highest-profit businesses in the Jie family.

Ai Rui first went to the store manager as a partner to understand the situation, and left only after he had a general understanding of the store's purchases.

After visiting three stores in a row, Ari immediately came up with a plan.

Five days later, Meng Zhiyi was woken up by a phone call in her sleep.

It’s Qiao Shu calling.

"Are you still sleeping? The Shen family is in chaos. Didn't Shen Que tell you?"

When the call was connected, Qiao Shu's words instantly woke Meng Zhiyi up from sleepiness.

Meng Zhiyi: "What happened?"

Qiao Shu: "Isn't the Xie family's business managed by Grandma Shen Que? Last night, a large-scale consumer poisoning incident occurred in the Xie family's catering brand. As of now, three people have died from poisoning."

"Is it so serious? Shen Que didn't give me a phone call!" Meng Zhiyi jumped up from the bed with a grunt, and then quickly changed his clothes.

"What's the situation outside now?" she asked as she quickly washed up.

Qiao Shu: "A large number of reporters and people have gathered downstairs of Shen's building, and are criticizing him in various ways, demanding that Shen come forward to give an explanation."

"I guess Shen Que was busy with something and didn't have time to tell you."

Meng Zhiyi looked unhappy and said in a deep voice, "What about the hospital? Can you find out the condition of the poisoned patient?"

"I'm in the hospital right now. The emergency department is almost full. I heard that more poisoned people have been found and are being sent to other hospitals."

Qiao Shu said, her tone more serious: "Zhi Yi, this incident has a significant impact, large-scale food poisoning, and death. Even if Shen's is just a trustee, they can't escape responsibility."

"I know. Please keep an eye on the hospital for me first. If possible, ask them secretly about their symptoms of poisoning and whether they remember what they ate." After Meng Zhiyi finished washing up, he prepared to go out with a hat and mask.

Qiao Shu: "Okay, are you going to look for Shen Que now? I think you should not go. Shen's downstairs is already crowded. There are many reporters who know you. Don't let them get angry."

Meng Zhiyi said: "No, I can't let Shen Que be alone in such a big incident."

Qiao Shu opened her mouth, swallowed what she wanted to say, and said, "Then be careful not to get discovered."

Meng Zhiyi: "Don't worry, I'll hang up first. I'm going out."

When she went downstairs, she saw the Meng family looking at her seriously.

Meng Zhiyi thought they were also going to persuade him not to look for Shen Que at this time, but Meng Yiyang said, "I'll take you there."

"Thank you, bro."

Meng's father and mother also said worriedly: "When you go there, tell Xiao Que to let him know if he needs help from the Meng family. Don't try to handle it all by yourself."

Meng Zhiyi's heart softened and he nodded: "Okay."

Soon, Meng Yanchuan drove her to the downstairs of Shen's building.

Looking around, it was packed with people, many of whom were holding banners that read "Unscrupulous companies, get out of China."
