BXBX NOVEL Chapter 379 - The Bait
Chapter 379: The Bait
It was not an easy thing to get 10% shares of Family Ji’s Enterprise.
Apart from Family Jing, the old Family Yang was the only one that was possibly capable of achieving this task.
Lan Yu must have been holding the ownership to all the properties of Family Yang.
No wonder Ji Bo chose to get engaged with her. She was a moving gold tank.
“Don’t do anything impulsive now. We mustn’t start a war with Family Ji without sufficient information. It is not worth just for the sake of Lan Yu.”
Jing Yichen sounded cold yet poised. Family Jing could kill Family Ji but Family Jing would also end up sacrificing a lot in the process and there would be endless potential danger in the near future just as how it was with Family Yang. Although Family Yang was overturned within a few days, there were still some who were not dead. It was impossible to kill everyone belonging to a family. There was always someone who got away and created trouble.
Every family had its way of staying safe. Family Yang also would have had a way.
Family Ji and Family Yang were different. Family Yang mostly focused upon malls and a little upon governmental office, thus being less influential. That was why Family Jing hadn’t made too many efforts to destroy their roots.
Family Jing was different. They had planted deep base in governmental office and if their roots were harmed, the governmental office would fall into a total mess. Family Ji had some power in military forces as well, so Family Jing could not start a war with Family Ji that easily.
The reason why the confrontation between these two families continued was because if a war started, both the families would be badly injured. Small issues in daily life did not hurt because these problems would not lead to extinction of any family.
Therefore, as long as Family Ji was smart, they would not irritate Family Jing easily, otherwise they would have to meet their death eventually.
“I will talk with Ji Bo tomorrow. Set a date with him. Just tell him that I would like to discuss the financial business with him. The place will be the tea house where we met last time.”
“Master...” Tiger stopped.
He understood that Jing Yichen was using himself as bait to lead Lan Yu out. As long as Lan Yu was goaded to come out there, there would not be any problem if Family Jing touched her. In that case, Family Ji could not protect her either, because that was the unwritten rules between the two families. That was why when Ji Lili hurt Shangguan Ning, Family Ji had no choice but to hand over the money and send Ji Lili abroad without giving her the permission of returning to A City.
But it was too dangerous for Master to be the bait.
Lan Yu was a mysterious and cruel woman. What if Master fell in the trap?
Jing Yichen said calmly, “Don’t worry, I know what it is going on. You can come with me. She is just a woman. If I can’t even take such a small risk, then what is the point of living to the present day. It has been peaceful for too long and a storm should be on the way. Call Ji Bo and set the date!”
Tiger said no more. He answered courteously.
He believed in Master’s ability and strength. Lan Yu was just a woman and she couldn’t possibly be a match against Master no matter how smart and evil she was.
Ji Bo was in Family Ji’s therapy house which boasted of great landscape when Tiger called him.
The therapy house was located in the outskirts. It was widely spread and well decorated. It was equipped with the top-notch medical team and was a place for the wealthy families of A City to recuperate in.
This was where Ji Minjue was staying.
Ji Bo was here to pressurise Ji Minjue tonight, when both Ji Jiameng and Ji Ling were around too.
Ji Bo had a soft smile on his face but that was only to make him look gentle. He had an elegant temperament and seemed like an ordinary child talking to his senior.
But his words weren’t that of a child.
“Uncle, you don’t need to engage into any deal with Family Ji any more. You should rest since you are sick. More importantly, you need to give up your position as the president, otherwise Family Ji would die because of you. Give the position to me and I will make the company grow. Jiameng and Ji Ling can continue to be involved with the family business. I will not interfere in their work. But they will have no right to interfere with my decision as well. I will be the only master of the Family!”
Ji Minjue got so annoyed that his face turned purple. He pointed at Ji Bo as if he wanted to poke him to death. “You bastard, now you dare to force me to give up the position. Since when did you get so bold? Do you still remember who you are? Family Ji’s Enterprise is mine. I am the master, I am the president, you are nothing.”
Ji Bo didn’t get annoyed after hearing his words. He still looked like a gentleman. No one could irritate him apart from Ji Yichen.
“No need to get angry, Uncle. Give Family Ji’s Enterprise to me. It is the best option that you have. If you don’t step down yourself, then I will hold a shareholder meeting to fire you. We need a new president.”
Ji Minjue got really irritated to see that his once obedient nephew had turned into a wolf. His words shocked Ji Minjue.
Ji Jiameng and Ji Ling next to him also stared at Ji Bo in astonishment. He looked like a total stranger.
It felt as if Ji Bo was becoming more and more like Jing Yichen. Was he trying to be as cruel as him?
Ji Ling snorted. “You are way too conceited, Ji Bo. You need to possess the ability as Jing Yichen if you want to imitate him. You are simply looking funny right now. Are you an idiot to suggest removing my father from his position? We have 50% of the shares all together and even if you take the other 50%, father will still have his position as long as we don’t let go!”
Ji Bo looked even more cheerful. He said in composure, “Oh really? Then let’s see what is going to happen. It might be a bit too shameful for Uncle if he is fired by his nephew, right? I had wanted Uncle to keep face, but if you don’t want it, then I have no reason to be polite.”
Ji Bo greeted Ji Minjue and left.
He went back to the villa located in the city. It was already two a.m when he reached there.
It was dark in the villa, and a silhouette was standing by the ceiling-to-floor window against the moonlight. She was like a ghost who was ready to swallow people’s souls.
Ji Bo turned on the light and walked towards the silhouette.
He was starting to get more and more scared of Lan Yu who had turned out to be even more cruel than he had imagined.
But he needed her to be this way!
Ji Bo came to her side and said softly, “Will you join me for the meeting with Jing Yichen tomorrow?”
Lan Yu turned around. She had exquisitely beautiful features but her face didn’t have any color. She looked like a sick person and her expression was evil that gave a glimpse into her horrifying heart. “He is trying to bait me. I must go and give him a surprise!”
