Chapter 351 Threat



"If it was Han Minghui who found Jiuxiaoyun, would she have blatantly shown me the Warrior Star?" Li Xiu raised his head and looked at Han Minghui.

When Han Minghui heard Li Xiunian say the name of the Warrior Star, she smiled and said, "General Manager Li is indeed very knowledgeable. He can see the Warrior Star among so many gems at a glance. I believe he already knows the origin of this gem."

"I really don't know, I just think the name is interesting. From what Vice President Han said, this Warrior Star seems to have a great origin?" Li Xiu said calmly.

Han Minghui said: "It does have a great origin. This Warrior Star is a chrysoberyl cat's eye gemstone on Earth. There are many kinds of cat's eye gemstones, but the cat's eye gemstone that can truly be called the five major gemstones together with ruby, sapphire, diamond and emerald is actually this chrysoberyl cat's eye. This Warrior Star Cat's Eye Gemstone also has another name called Cat's Eye. It is much larger than the largest chrysoberyl cat's eye gemstone known on the market, but very few people know of its existence, so it is not famous. But as long as people know about it, they know that this Warrior Star is the king of chrysoberyl cat's eye gemstones, and it is also a magic gemstone."

"It sounds like there are quite a few stories." Li Xiu said.

Han Minghui smiled and said, "Some stories did happen to the Warrior Star, but it's not just about the Warrior Star. In fact, five cat's eye gems were mined at the same time as the Warrior Star. Together with the Warrior Star, there are six in total, and the Warrior Star is the largest one. After these six cat's eye gems were discovered, an unsolved case was triggered."

Han Minghui told the story of the so-called unsolved case in detail. It is currently impossible to verify from which mine the six cat's eyes were mined.

It is known that their first owner was a jewel thief. After stealing six cat's eyes, the jewel thief planned to retire and no longer do this business.

However, on the day when the jewel thief retired from the business, he was hanged on the crystal chandelier in the living room. To this day, no one knows how the jewel thief died.

There were a total of six people present at the ceremony of retiring to the throne. One was the Gem Thief's partner and their brother of life and death for decades; one was the Gem Thief's biological daughter, and the rest were Gem Thief's adopted apprentices.

Before the ceremony started, they were still chatting with the jewel thief in the living room. When the ceremony was about to start, the jewel thief went back to the room to change clothes. When they saw the jewel thief again, he had been hanged on the crystal chandelier in the living room.

Several people had proof of their alibis at the time, no one had ever seen the jewel thief alone, and no signs of outsiders entering were found, and the murderer has not been found until now.

"After the death of the Gem Thief, the six Cat's Eyes also disappeared. The descendants of the Gem Thief have been tracking down the whereabouts of the Cat's Eyes. Whoever holds the Cat's Eyes may be the one who killed the Gem Thief." Han Minghui said with a smile.

"How come this biggest warrior star is here with you?" Li Xiu asked Han Minghui.

"Please rest assured, Chief Li. I have nothing to do with the death of the jewel thief. I got this warrior star by accident. I kept it in my collection and didn't show it to anyone because I knew the jewel thief's descendants had been looking for it. If you like it, I will take it and offer it to you immediately."

"If I take the Warrior Star, won't the descendants of the Gem Thief come to trouble me?"

"No." Han Minghui said with a smile: "The most important branch of the descendants of the Gem Thief is now under your command."

"It turns out that Jiuxiaoyun is the descendant of the gem thief." Li Xiu had naturally guessed it a long time ago, and now he pretended to be enlightened.

"Yes, Jiuxiaoyun's family has been looking for the Warrior Star for many years. Even if Director Li doesn't need it himself, he can give it to Jiuxiaoyun's family. I think that family will reward them handsomely." Han Minghui said.

Seeing that Han Minghui seemed to have no idea that someone had used the Warrior Star to ask Jiu Xiaoyun for help, Li Xiu couldn't tell for a moment whether she was framed by others or had excellent acting skills.

"What do you think, Chief Li?" Han Minghui couldn't help but ask again.

"They are all good things, but I need to think about it. How about I give Vice President Han a reply another day?" Li Xiu said.

"Of course, I'm looking forward to hearing from you at any time." Han Minghui said as she stood up and said goodbye.

Li Xiu sent Han Minghui to the gate and saw Li Xianchun standing outside.

Han Minghui glanced at Li Xianchun coldly, turned around and left without saying anything.

Li Xiu brought Li Xianchun into the living room. Li Xianchun looked at the tea set that had been used to entertain Han Minghui and had not yet been put away and said, "Director Li should not have decided who to sell the Divine Throne Gem to, right?"

"No decision has been made yet." Li Xiu said casually.

"If I were Chief Li and owned such a rare treasure, I probably wouldn't even hesitate. After all, for someone like me, it would be difficult to see a second divine gem in my lifetime, so how could I bear to sell it?" Li Xianchun said with a smile.

"What does Master Li mean?" Li Xiu frowned slightly.

Li Xianchun said calmly, "Director Li took back the president's jade token from Space City. I wonder if it is still with you?"

"Whether it's on me or not, does it have anything to do with you?" Li Xiu said to Li Xianchun.

"The president's jade token should be returned to the president. The president will not allow such things to remain outside. After all, possessing the president's jade token is equivalent to the president himself. If the jade token is in the hands of President Li, no matter what President Li wants with it, people like us cannot refuse. This makes people somewhat uneasy. President Li, do you agree?" Li Xianchun said meaningfully.

"Master Li, what exactly do you want to say?" Li Xiu said expressionlessly.

"Director Li took the jade token back to Changshengtian, and then Old Jia ran to Courtyard No. 7 to see the gate. You also opened the divine gem in the ancient gold box, but you didn't need the divine gem yourself and wanted to exchange it for other treasures... As a result, so many families came, and everyone took out the treasures in the bottom of the box, but you didn't like any of them..." Li Xianchun said slowly with confidence.

"Then what?" Li Xiu asked expressionlessly.

"I'm just a little confused. Is the president's jade token still in your hand?" Li Xianchun stared at Li Xiu and asked word by word.

"So what if he's here? So what if he's not here?" Li Xiu asked casually.

"Since General Manager Li is unwilling to say, then I will make a guess." Li Xianchun said with a smile: "If my guess is correct, the president should have given you the jade token and asked you to represent Changshengtian, just like Guan Qingzhai did sixty years ago, to do a very dangerous thing."

Glancing at Li Xiu, Li Xianchun continued, "As for the Godly Gemstone, I'm afraid it's just a trap to draw out the treasures of each family so that you, Chief Li, can choose at will. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence in the world that you opened such a treasure the first time you opened the ancient gold box? I'm sorry, I really can't believe such luck."

"Chief Li is going to take risks on behalf of our Changshengtian family, so it is only right that each of us should make some contribution. However, Chief Li's actions are like uprooting my family's assets and leaving us no chance of survival."

"Good analysis. Patriarch Li is indeed quick-witted." Li Xiu said with a smile.

"Director Li, have you admitted it?" A hint of pride flashed in Li Xianchun's eyes. He had been secretly observing for a long time and checking a lot of information before he came to this conclusion.

He had not thought about these things before, because what happened sixty years ago was too long ago and not many people knew what happened at that time.

And no one was willing to believe that the president would give the jade token to Li Xiu.

The jade token is equivalent to the president coming in person and passing the jade token to Li Xiu. Wouldn’t that be equivalent to announcing that Li Xiu will be the master of Changshengtian in the future?

Not to mention that Li Xiu might not be the president's illegitimate son. Even if he really is, the president, who possesses an immortal body, does not need to pass on the throne.

Even if it is to be passed on, at least it must be legitimate. Only by recognizing Li Xiu first can it be possible. It is impossible to give him the jade token in such an unclear way.

Because of this, few people believed that the jade token was still on Li Xiu, and they all thought that the president had taken it back long ago.

Li Xianchun also studied what happened in Guan Qingzhai sixty years ago, and combined with Li Xiu's recent strange behavior, he made a bold guess.

"Since Master Li thinks I am trying to trick you, then why are you here?" After being exposed, Li Xiu was not in a hurry at all and said slowly.

"Director Li, we can actually cooperate." Li Xianchun placed a thick book in front of Li Xiu. "This book records some of the good things that various companies and groups have had over the years. Director Li can get whatever he needs based on this book. There's no need to go through so much trouble."

Li Xiu looked at Li Xianchun without saying anything. Li Xianchun smiled and said, "Of course, in exchange, I hope that Director Li can also help me get a few things from other companies."

Li Xiu finally understood Li Xianchun's intention. This guy actually wanted to get a piece of the pie.

"What do you want?" Li Xiu asked.

"The Sun family should have six more Tiangang Divine Weapon Fruits, three are enough for me; Han Minghui has a dragon scale coat..." Li Xianchun mentioned several things in one breath, all of which were the most precious treasures of each family.

"Master Li is really not greedy." Li Xiu sneered. Li Xianchun was snatching food from his tiger's mouth.

"I just want these few things. You can choose any of the others, Chief Li." Li Xianchun said with a smile.

"What if I say no?" Li Xiu looked at Li Xianchun coldly.

"A person like Chief Li shouldn't affect the overall situation for a few small things, right? If those companies knew about this, I can't guarantee that they wouldn't transfer the things out in advance..." Li Xianchun was already making a naked threat.

Looking at Li Xianchun who looked confident of victory, Li Xiu smiled and said, "Patriarch Li has only been in office for a short time. I'm afraid he has forgotten how the previous Patriarch fell."

Li Xianchun disagreed: "Li Changyin betrayed the president, he deserved to die, he deserved it. Our Li family is now loyal to the president, and we dare not have any disloyalty. How could the president not tolerate us? President Li is overthinking, you should consider my conditions, it's mutually beneficial, we can make money together."

"If you want to make money, go and make it yourself. I'm not interested. There's nothing else to do. Please go back, Master Li." Li Xiu said indifferently.

"Director Li, why don't you reconsider it? If Han Minghui and the others knew that you don't have the divine gem at all, I'm afraid you won't get anything from them..." Li Xianchun frowned slightly, feeling that Li Xiu was a little less calm.

"You can say whatever you want. Please come in." Li Xiu sent the guest away directly.

Li Xianchun looked at Li Xiu in a daze. He didn't expect Li Xiu to be so resolute.

"Director Li, you have to think carefully. Once I leave this door, I won't be able to guarantee that what I just said will not be heard by any third party." Li Xianchun stared at Li Xiu and said.

"You can tell it to anyone you like, go ahead." Li Xiu was very determined.

Seeing Li Xiu's determination, Li Xianchun couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Could it be that I guessed wrong, and the president didn't pass the jade token to Li Xiu? That shouldn't be the case. If that's the case, how do you explain all the troubles Li Xiu has caused?"

Li Xianchun still believed in his own judgment. After thinking it over, he felt that Li Xiu was determined to fight to the end.

"Since you are unwilling to share even a little bit of the benefits with me, then you can't blame me." Li Xianchun looked at Li Xiu and asked for the last time: "Director Li, are you really not going to consider it again?"

Li Xiu ignored him. Li Xianchun said nothing more and turned to leave Yard No. 7.

After Li Xianchun left Courtyard No. 7, he went directly to the Han family. Since Li Xiu was unwilling to share the benefits with him, he would earn some benefits himself and also do a few big favors in the process.

Although these favors are not as good as those benefits, they are better than nothing.

With these favors, the lives of the Li family and Li Xianchun will be much better in the future.

Not long after Li Xianchun left Courtyard No. 7, rumors spread throughout Changshengtian that Li Xiu might have the jade token and had set up a trap.

Those big guys who had brought treasures to Li Xiu before were all secretly frightened and broke out in cold sweats. They were all thinking about how to hide their treasures and what excuses to make so as not to give the treasures to Li Xiu when he came.

Now they only hated themselves for being blinded by the divine gem and not being able to see through such a simple situation.

They secretly hated Li Xiu for being so insidious as to use this method to fish out all the treasures they had hidden in the bottom of their boxes.

"Chief, your plan has been leaked. Do you want to set off now to ask for the things from those families?" After receiving the news, Lao Jia hurried to find Li Xiu to report the situation.

"No need." Li Xiu shook his head slightly. He had not originally planned to go to the door to ask for things himself.

The big guys from each family are trying their best to hide things, but hiding is not enough, they also have to come up with an excuse. Otherwise, if Li Xiu has seen those things and really wants to ask for them with the jade token, they will have no choice but to give them to him.

The big guys racked their brains and came up with all kinds of ideas.

Some lost all their fortunes overnight and had to mortgage their treasures; some went to the trial ground and ended up losing their treasures.

Anyway, they have already thought of all kinds of excuses, too many to count.

"Li Xiu, ah Li Xiu, who made you so selfish? If you had agreed to give me some earlier, it would not have come to this." Li Xianchun sneered secretly at home.

Li Xiu was playing with Zai Zai in the yard when he saw Lao Jia leading someone over, and it turned out to be Sun Tianlei.

At first, Sun Tianlei was the first one to come to him to discuss the deal, and now Sun Tianlei is the first one to come again, but no one knows what he is here for this time.

"Director Li, this is for you." Sun Tianlei pushed the box in front of Li Xiu and said with a strange look on his face.

Li Xiu recognized this box. This was the box that contained the Tiangang Divine Weapon Fruit.

Li Xiu reached out and opened the lid of the box. Inside were indeed the Tiangang Divine Weapon Fruits, all six of them were there, not one missing.

"What does this mean? I haven't decided yet to exchange with your Sun family." Li Xiu asked with some confusion.

"Director Li, please stop teasing me. We all know that you took the jade token." Sun Tianlei said with a bitter face.

"Now that you know, what do you mean?" Li Xiu asked with a smile.

"This is what Sun Tianbing asked me to give you. He said that the thing is for you and you don't need to exchange it or return it." Sun Tianlei said.

"Why?" Li Xiu couldn't help but be stunned.

Others haven't even had time to hide them, but Sun Tianbing actually wants to give him these six Tiangang Divine Weapon Fruits. This is a bit weird.

"He said, Chief Li, you are fighting for our Changshengtian. We are just reaping the benefits, so we should do our part. If you need anything else, just let us know. As long as we can get it, we will never let you down." Sun Tianlei said seriously.

"Brother Sun is truly a role model for our generation." Li Xiu pondered for a moment, reached out and took out two Tiangang Divine Weapon Fruits, and then closed the box: "Please go back and tell Brother Tianbing that I have borrowed these two Tiangang Divine Weapon Fruits, and I will repay you in the future."

"Director Li only needs two?" Sun Tianlei was overjoyed when he saw this.

He didn't understand why Sun Tianbing wanted to deliver them himself. Now Li Xiu only took two, leaving four, which was a great joy for him.

"Two are enough." Li Xiu said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go back now and convey Chief Li's words word for word." Sun Tianlei carefully put away the box and left Yard No. 7.

"Sun Tianbing from the Sun family is quite an interesting person." Li Xiu was playing with the two Tiangang Divine Weapon Fruits in his hand. One was prepared for the Fire Lotus Sword, and the other one Li Xiu was going to leave for Ah Fei.

The bandit has no relatives or friends, and no background or support, so he is the only one he can rely on.

Before Li Xiu could use the Tiangang Divine Weapon Fruit on the Fire Lotus Sword, someone else came to Yard No. 7.

"Why is Vice President Han here again?" Li Xiu saw that the person who came was Han Minghui.

"Of course I came to ask Chief Li what he thinks and whether he is willing to exchange with me?" Han Minghui sat down opposite Li Xiu and said with a sweet smile.

"Haven't you heard the rumors outside?" Li Xiu looked at Han Minghui with interest. He didn't expect Han Minghui to come under such circumstances.

"Not only did I hear about it, someone even came to my house to tell me about it." Han Minghui said with a smile.

"You don't believe it?" Li Xiu asked.

"I don't believe it. I only believe in myself. What I saw is definitely the divine gem." Han Minghui looked at Li Xiu with a smile and said, "Director Li, don't you agree?"

"Let me ask you something. Have you ever looked for Jiuxiaoyun?" Li Xiu did not answer Han Minghui's question, but asked back.

"Why should I look for him?" Han Minghui was slightly stunned.

"Does anyone know that the Warrior Star is in your hands?" Li Xiu asked again.

"No one should know about this." Han Minghui seemed to have thought of something, staring at Li Xiu and asking, "Did someone bribe Jiu Xiaoyun with the Warrior Star to steal your Divine Gem?"

Li Xiu nodded slightly, and Han Minghui immediately snorted, "If there is such a person, then this person must be Li Xianchun."

"Do you have evidence?" Li Xiu also thought so, but he still asked.

"No, but I know it must be him." Han Minghui said coldly, "Don't worry about this matter. He wanted to sow discord between us last time, and now he wants to use such means to frame me. If I don't teach him a lesson, he will still think that Li Xiu is the head of the four great families."
