The Meng family's old house.
Meng Qing was sitting in her office chair in the study, looking down at the documents in her hand, and then signing them.
In less than a year, Meng Qing had essentially taken control of the Meng family.
Back in Yancheng, Meng Qing sensed someone following him when he went out. If he wasn't mistaken, they wanted to use his biometric information to do a DNA comparison with Meng Pang to confirm whether he was a member of the Meng family.
This was something that had to be experienced, and Meng Qing had no intention of avoiding it. He knew that if the results came out, someone would probably take action against Meng Pang.
Sure enough, after the results came out, the people in the capital got anxious, thinking that they should take action while Meng Pang was still in Yan City and make sure he never returned.
They even sent people to harm Meng Qing. Once Meng Pang and Meng Qing are dead, the main branch of the Meng family will be wiped out, and all the power and property of the Meng family will fall into their hands.
Meng Qing hacked into Meng Pang's assistant's phone in the middle of the night and sent the DNA test report to Meng Pang.
When the assistant woke up, she found a call from Meng Pang and realized that she had sent Meng Pang the psychiatric evaluation report without her noticing.
He didn't even have time to check if there was a bug in his phone before Meng Pang called him over.
When Meng Pang asked him when the appraisal report was done, the assistant dared not say that it was requested by the people in Beijing. He could only admit that he had overstepped his bounds and said that he wanted to do an appraisal in advance to make sure it was clear so that Meng Pang would not be disappointed later.
Meng Pang didn't blame him. After all, this assistant had been with him for so many years, so his concern was understandable.
Shortly after Meng Pang confirmed that Meng Qing was his grandson, he received a message from Meng Xu saying that something had happened in the capital.
Meng Pang knew that the news must have been leaked. If they hadn't confirmed that Meng Qing was a member of the Meng family, they wouldn't have taken action.
It can only be confirmed by them. As for how they confirmed it, they must have received the appraisal report from Yancheng as well.
Meng Pang felt something was wrong when he received the appraisal report that day. The appraisal report was issued three days ago. Why would Chen Lide send him the appraisal report at four o'clock in the morning three days later?
But Meng Pang didn't show it; he just kept a watchful eye on things. After all, Chen Lide had been by his side for so many years, and he still didn't quite believe that this man would betray him.
But if they really betrayed him, Meng Pang didn't intend to be lenient; he would deal with them accordingly, otherwise he would be leaving a hidden danger for his grandson.
Meng Pang pretended that he wanted to return to the capital as soon as possible, in order to speed up the process of recognizing Meng Qing, and asked Chen Lide to arrange a meeting with her.
Chen Lide showed no abnormality and, as Meng Pang requested, arranged to meet Meng Qing at a restaurant in the suburbs.
Meng Qing's assassination mission also failed. They originally thought that a high school student couldn't possibly be that capable, but the people on the other side just couldn't succeed.
Chen Lide knew that Meng Pang had only sent two people to protect Meng Qing, so as not to cause too much of a commotion. Chen Lide recognized one of them; he was already one of his own. Things should go smoothly.
With no other option, Chen Lide had to change his plan and decided to take action on the day Meng Pang and Meng Qing recognized each other.
He went to Meng Pang's house early in the morning to pick him up. He put medicine in the thermos that Meng Pang used to drink water every day. As long as Meng Pang drank it, the medicine would definitely take effect within 2 hours.
He would then use the pretext that Meng Qing had deliberately poisoned Meng Pang to forcibly deal with the person. After all, the fact that Meng Qing was Meng Pang's grandson had not yet been made public, so there was still room for maneuver.
This way, Meng Pang and Meng Qing can be dealt with openly and legitimately at the same time, and the change of the Meng family head will be just around the corner.
Chen Lide watched Meng Pang tidy up. After changing his clothes, Meng Pang picked up his thermos as usual, ready to drink. He probably suddenly felt a little cold and asked Chen Lide to close the window. When Chen Lide turned around and came back, Meng Pang had already put down the thermos.
Everything went smoothly. All that was left was for Meng Pang to react, so that Meng Pang could lead his men in, arrest Meng Qing, and capture him red-handed.
Meng Pang and Meng Qing met at the restaurant. Just as Chen Lide had expected, Meng Pang was extremely excited. He rushed forward and hugged Meng Qing, crying and telling her that he had been searching for so many years and had finally found her.
Meng Pang asked Chen Lide to wait outside the door, saying that he and Meng Qing had something to say. Chen Lide did not suspect anything and went out to close the door behind him.
The moment the door closed, the scene inside changed instantly.
Meng Pang didn't seem like he had just recognized Meng Qing; the two sat down facing each other.
Meng Qing had already reunited with Meng Pang two days prior. Meng Qing contacted Meng Pang by claiming that he had discovered the bodyguards Meng Pang had sent to follow him.
Fearing that Meng Qing would be unhappy, Meng Pang did not hide anything and directly admitted their relationship, sending the psychiatric evaluation report to Meng Qing.
The two finally recognized each other, and the scene was the same as what Chen Lide had just seen. Meng Pang was very excited, as he discovered that his grandson was just as he had imagined.
Calm, rational, and intelligent.
Meng Qing directly stated that one of the bodyguards who was following him had betrayed him and wanted to kill him. Meng Pang immediately understood what was going on.
Meng Pang hired bodyguards to protect Meng Qing. One of them was a fellow villager introduced by Chen Lide, who had been following him for many years. Unexpectedly, these two old men who had followed him had long harbored ulterior motives.
Meng Pang and Meng Qing conspired to set up a trap.
Meng Pang needs a legitimate motive for his crackdown; those people in the capital have become quite audacious.
Chen Lide calculated the time and estimated it was about right. He pushed open the door and went in. He saw a dozen bodyguards standing in two rows. Meng Pang and Meng Qing were facing the door of the private room, looking at him coldly.
Oh no, Meng Pang probably already noticed something was wrong with him.
Chen Lide was grabbed by bodyguards, and all his equipment was confiscated. Chen Lide knew that he would not be able to escape this time.
He knew Meng Pang's style of doing things: once disloyal, never to be trusted again.
The fate of a traitor is never as simple as one person doing the deed and bearing the consequences alone.
But he was momentarily blinded by greed and was caught red-handed, which led him to betray Meng Pang.
Thinking that Meng Pang was old and that she had followed him for so long, she figured that as long as she was careful, she would never be discovered.
But everyone makes mistakes sometimes.
Chen Lide knew he was finished, and he didn't last long before confessing everything that had happened over the years.
Sure enough, the person behind it was Meng Chaogui, Meng Pang's cousin.
The Meng family's business was built entirely by Meng Pang alone. Meng Pang was kind-hearted and shared a share with his other relatives. Unexpectedly, these people were greedy and started to plot against Meng Pang.
Chen Lide only begged Meng Pang to spare his family, but Meng Pang said nothing and had him taken away.
Meng Pang ordered everyone not to spread the word and set off immediately, taking Meng Qing back to the capital.
But to their surprise, the people in Beijing were not to be trifled with either. When they contacted Chen Lide and found that he had not replied to messages for three days, they immediately knew that something had happened.
Meng Chaogui secretly sent men to hunt down Meng Pang and Meng Qing, creating the illusion of an accident.
Meanwhile, they immediately joined forces with key members of the Meng Group's board of directors, whom they had been trying to win over for years, to forcibly remove Meng Pang from his post and take down the Meng Group in one fell swoop.
