When both parties were keenly aware that they were opponents, they could still sit down and have a calm conversation.

Hou Yaoming felt that Ye Xiaofan's actions in front of him made him somewhat uneasy.

"Shareholders? What kind of shareholders are you two?"

When they mentioned they were shareholders of Dongri, others started to express doubts, completely disbelieving.

"Young master of the Li Family, in your Huasheng, you can do whatever you please. But in Dongri, it's not a place where a little brat like you can act as you wish," said a former Huasheng shareholder dismissively.

Li Kuo glanced coldly at the familiar faces around. His father had been nothing but kind to these old shareholders, but they were all ungrateful. During Huasheng's crisis, they all switched sides and withdrew their shares, then ran over to Dongri, their opponent. Truly they were profit-driven, with characters as poor as can be.

"This is the data just confirmed today. Ye Xiaofan already holds 51% of Dongri's shares. So now, the largest shareholder here is Ye Xiaofan."

Upon hearing this, everyone present, including Hou Yaoming, changed their expressions. Li Kuo distributed the photocopies of the data certificates to everyone.

When everyone saw the data statistics, their eyes widened. Indeed, people can lie, but data cannot, and the official seal was absolutely authentic.

But how could it be? Such a large group had become someone else's possession in just one week?

But your surprise doesn't matter, for this week, Li Kuo and Xiaofan put an immense amount of effort into it. Achieving the acquisition of a group originally valued at over three billion with just five hundred million truly is remarkable.

"Okay, you all leave. We have matters to discuss with President Hou," Li Kuo said lightly.

"Ha, President Li, you see, we old folks failed to recognize Mount Tai earlier, you..."

"All of you, get out," Li Kuo shouted angrily. He was no longer the boy who could be easily fooled, and he had no time to bother with social nuances. Now, in his eyes, there were only enemies.

The shareholders, forced by Li Kuo's anger, turned purple in the face, yet dared not retaliate. No matter where they went, they couldn't escape the control of the Li Family.

Li Zhongran used to be a competent businessman who played by the rules, never harboring ambitions to swallow another group. But now, tolerating would surely lead to being bullied. Li Kuo had to become strong and he already had a companion to fight alongside.

Maybe he never imagined that today he would make such a big decision to stand together with Xiaofan against Red Butterfly. Indeed, just as Xiaofan had worried before, he had family ties that couldn't be ignored. But now, it was different.

After the shareholders left, only Hou Yaoming and two assistants or secretaries beside him remained.

However, although Hou Yaoming was wary of Xiaofan, he too was a businessman. Even though he was no longer the largest shareholder of Dongri, they had no grounds to make things difficult for him. After all, they had no evidence connecting Li Zhongran's matter to him.

"I don't know what important thing Mr. Li has to say by leaving me here alone?" Hou Yaoming asked first.

"To settle accounts."

Li Kuo's straightforward words left Hou Yaoming stunned. Hou Yaoming, just thirty-six this year, had also experienced many major events. Besides, without some confidence, Red Butterfly wouldn't have let him become the chairman of such a large group in Capital City.

"Hey, business affairs, who can figure them out clearly? Now it's your young people's world. I concede," Hou Yaoming, being the cunning old fox, would never admit that Li Zhongran's affair was related to him. He wasn't a fool.

However, losing such a large group like Dongri, if the boss found out, there probably wouldn't be good consequences.

"Who said anything about business affairs? I want to settle the account of my father's matter." Li Kuo shouted angrily.

"Your father? Eh? What does that have to do with me?" Hou Yaoming immediately denied it.

"You..."

"Let me handle it." After all, arguing would lead nowhere, and Xiaofan hadn't come over here to debate.

Seeing Xiaofan approaching, Hou Yaoming suddenly stood up warily.

"What do you want to do?"

"Nothing, just want you to understand before you die." Xiaofan walked up to Hou Yaoming, then turned and walked back before speaking, "The objective behind kidnapping Li Kuo's parents was for Huasheng's development of new electronic product technology. After all, Huasheng had developed its technology to a world-leading level in just over a decade, which would make anyone green with envy, even covetous to take over. Li Kuo's father being the chairman, naturally understood the value of this technology better than anyone. Therefore, when you kidnapped them, they didn't compromise. The couple even reached a consensus, vowing not to let the technology leak to outsiders. Oh, you probably didn't know, the most advanced LZ073 was developed by Li Kuo's parents together. Since you couldn't get the technology, you must think of another way, and the best way was to find Li Kuo and threaten the couple."

"Nonsense." Hou Yaoming replied coldly.

"Listen to me before interrupting; it's very rude to cut someone off. Originally, the plan was fully under your control, but just as you were about to abduct Li Kuo, Li Zhongran and his wife jumped off a building together. Their purpose was to protect their son. If something happened to the two of them, you certainly wouldn't trouble Li Kuo further."

Hearing this, Li Kuo stared at Xiaofan in astonishment. He had never heard Xiaofan mention these things before; so this was the truth. No wonder, no wonder.

Noticing Li Kuo's guilt, Xiaofan gently patted Li Kuo's shoulder in comfort, then continued addressing Hou Yaoming and others, "The first step of the plan was completely disrupted by Uncle Li Zhongran's death. It rendered all your previous arrangements ineffective, and the matter with Liu Qiqi only created a flaw for you. However, you certainly wouldn't give up so easily. Since the matter was bound to be exposed, you'd first kill Liu Qiqi, then bribe Huasheng's original shareholders to agree to Dongri's investment in Huasheng. This way, you could justly acquire that technology. Since Uncle Li Zhongran's assets were frozen and it was only a matter of time until the investigation shed light on the affair, you had to act fast. But you were still a step behind us. Therefore, regarding the deliberate lowering of our stock price, we've saved a step. So...are you going to turn yourself in, or should I make a move?"
