Chapter 112: What, Are Your Hemorrhoids Better?
“Second brother, after all this time, you’re still fixated on the shares of Qin Group,” Su Lan accused.
“Do you really think that even if I handed over Qin Group for you to manage, anything would change?” Qin Guoyu sneered coldly.
“Of course not. I have a wealth of talent under me; there’s nothing we can’t handle.”
“If you don’t believe me, why not entrust Qin Group to me for a few days and see?”
“Just like that kid said earlier, we’re merely negotiating with you now, but if this turns into a mess, no one will be able to save face.”
Qin Guoyu’s face was full of smug satisfaction as he spoke. He was certain that Su Lan wouldn’t dare to fall out with him; that would make everything much easier.
“You claim you have capable people under you who can run the company well?”
“Fine, then introduce me to these people who can accomplish such things.”
Seemingly prepared for Su Lan’s challenge, Qin Guoyu immediately beckoned someone over from beside him.
When the person appeared, not only did Su Lan nearly lose her temper, but even Lin Li looked utterly dumbfounded.
That fool Qin Guoyu had the audacity to bring Ye Aotian to his ancestral home.
Lin Li’s shock was even greater upon seeing Ye Aotian. He had feared that Ye Aotian might intervene at a critical moment, which was why he had Luoshanhe and the Four Guardians severely beat him. This was meant to ensure everything remained under his control.
Yet, he never expected that even after such a beating, Ye Aotian would still dare to get up.
“Miss Su,” Ye Aotian greeted, his expression triumphant.
“I am the assistant specially hired by Mr. Chen. If you have any questions, feel free to discuss them with me.”
Ye Aotian glanced at Su Lan with a confident smile. Clearly, he had done his homework, so no matter what Su Lan asked, he was ready to respond fluently.
But Su Lan didn’t bother with words. She simply fixed her gaze on Qin Guoyu.
“Do you realize that the man beside you is the murderer who killed your eldest brother?”
“You are brothers after all. Without your eldest brother over these years, would you even have had good times like this?”
Undoubtedly, the scene nearly shattered her worldview.
Even if Su Lan believed everyone in this world had the right to choose, she could never accept such a conclusion.
Over the years, Qin Guoyu had received countless favors from Qin Guosheng, yet in the end, he sided with his elder brother’s enemy. It was the height of irony.
Only Lin Li remained calm. This old Qin Guosheng had always acted like a brute, and those around him had learned well from his example.
These men weren’t ignorant of the current situation; they simply didn’t care.
For Qin Guoyu, the most pressing matter now was to seize control of Qin Group’s shares.
The reason he had held back so long was that he had received guidance from a master, understanding that Qin Group was still embroiled in internal strife.
Only after the dust settled could they strike and snatch the fruits of victory.
In fact, Qin Guoyu had done quite well.
Lin Li had just resolved all internal issues within Qin Group.
If Qin Guoyu now reclaimed the Qin family’s shares, it would be a great boon for him.
“For the sake of such petty gains, you’ve even forgotten the hatred of fratricide. You truly are your elder brother’s perfect second brother.”
“But if you think you can snatch everything from my hands, you’re simply dreaming.”
“Today, I stand firm here. No matter what you say, I will never agree to any of your demands.”
Faced with Qin Guoyu’s unreasonable claims, Su Lan’s stance was clear. No matter how much they argued, they would never wrest control from her.
Running a company was difficult enough.
To have family members coveting it so openly was something no one could accept.
At this moment, Ye Aotian chuckled from the side.
“Miss Su is right.”
“But don’t forget, these are all the inheritance of Mr. Qin. His will clearly stated that a substantial portion, either money or shares, should be divided among his siblings.”
“Now, if you claim it all as your own, isn’t that a bit improper?”
Previously, Lin Li had the advantage of the unresolved cause of Qin Guosheng’s death to keep the Qin family’s affairs under control.
But a year had passed, and eventually, the matter had to reach a conclusion.
Thus, the Qin family began to stir, and with Ye Aotian intentionally fanning the flames, today’s issue was far from straightforward.
Ye Aotian glanced at Lin Li as he spoke, his look clearly provocative.
Originally, Ye Aotian hadn’t wanted to come, but he had no choice; without his presence, the entire plan would be compromised.
God only knew the hardships Ye Aotian endured to arrive at the Qin family.
But for Ye Aotian, no matter how much suffering he bore, as long as he could firmly grasp the Qin family’s shares, it was worth it.
Lin Li looked at Ye Aotian and sighed.
“These matters were never your concern. You had no need to get involved, yet here you are, so ungrateful.”
“Do you really think you can change the predetermined outcome all by yourself?”
“I suppose, Ye Aotian, you still haven’t healed your hemorrhoids?”
Being preempted by Ye Aotian, Lin Li was undeniably irritated and instinctively mocked him.
Ye Aotian’s face turned awkward. That was a sore spot.
“Hmph. I came here today, and you care whether I’m sick or not?”
“Lin Li, I want to see how you’ll persuade them today.”
Lin Li shook his head.
“No, I’m not planning to convince them. That method is too inefficient for me.”
Hearing this, Ye Aotian’s eyes widened in disbelief. What did that mean? Was the guy crazy?
The moment Lin Li finished speaking, a group of men suddenly rushed out—bodyguards Lin Li had stationed in advance.
Their mission was to protect the safety of all Qin family members, but who would have thought they were also Lin Li’s sharpest weapons?
“Ye Aotian, do you really think I’m not watching you?”
“Trying to seize the boss’s inheritance while he’s not here? Dream on. Not as long as I’m here.”
Lin Li stomped his foot for emphasis.
The bodyguards followed suit, stomping their feet in unison.
