Chapter 73: Follow-up

Xu Chenyi turned around anxiously and saw Tang Tan, who was furious. He quickly pushed Su Luo away and said helplessly, “Tan, please don’t misunderstand.”

Anger flickered in Tang Tan’s eyes. He fought for their future at home, but Xu Chenyi was cozying up with other men!

“Mr. Tang, please don’t misunderstand.”

Su Luo remained composed and looked at Tang Tan, who was standing behind Xu Chenyi in a protective stance, with a gentle smile.

Tang Tan looked at him warily. “Mr. Su, if you don’t want your industries in this country to suffer, I suggest you return to M country honestly.”

“Tan, I—” Xu Chenyi tried to explain.

“Shut up.”

Xu Chenyi fell silent, not daring to speak again. Knowing Tang Tan well, he naturally understood that the latter was extremely angry.

Su Luo, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened. “There’s no need for Mr. Tang to worry about this.” With that, he glanced past him and said to Xu Chenyi, “Chenyi, I’ll leave first.”

“Okay.”

As Su Luo left, the hotel door slammed shut.

“Tan?”

Xu Chenyi looked at Tang Tan, unconsciously stepping back.

The current Tang Tan seemed unfamiliar and calm, like the calm before the storm.

Tang Tan walked towards Xu Chenyi step by step, and Xu Chenyi couldn’t help but retreat, a hint of fear in his eyes.

“Chen, would it be better for you to stay by my side obediently? Why do you have to flirt with others?”

Xu Chenyi shook his head. Misunderstood by his beloved, he felt extremely wronged and almost wanted to cry. “No, Tan, today I was just—”

“That’s enough.” Tang Tan interrupted him. “I don’t want to hear your sweet talk and explanations anymore.”

He hugged Xu Chenyi tightly and began to ravage him forcefully.

Months of frustration from Su Hua, his own grandfather, the troubles at the company, and the provocations from his rival finally pushed Tang Tan over the edge.

Xu Chenyi was locked up.

It turned out that Tang Tan’s playhouse prepared for Mo Han was all used on Xu Chenyi.

Looking at the window that was being stared at and the door that was locked, Xu Chenyi cried helplessly.

Half a month later.

Su Luo, unable to find any news about Xu Chenyi, went to Su Hua.

He didn’t know why he went to Su Hua, but his intuition told him that this woman had a way.

“I can help you find him, but what do I get in return?”

Su Luo didn’t want Su Hua to work for nothing. Upon hearing Su Hua’s words, he quickly said, “In our cooperation, I’ll give up another ten percent of the profits.”

“Indeed, people with the surname Su are all clever.”

Su Luo: “??”

De’er:” …” The host has no shame.

Su Hua didn’t explain, nodded, took out her phone, and said while typing, “Alright, I’ll send you the address. But your little darling is being held captive, so it’s best to bring some people with you, preferably the police.”

Su Luo didn’t ask where Su Hua got the information from. After the contract was modified and signed, Su Luo couldn’t wait to run out.

Su Hua watched his departing figure, deep in thought.

Originally, Su Luo’s share in the cooperation was only thirty percent. Now, after giving up another ten percent, it was twenty percent. Apart from covering costs, there wasn’t much profit left.

However, Su Luo was very clever. By entering the domestic market, he could afford to lose some in the early stages. He also maintained good relations with big companies like Jian Mo. Moreover, he obtained news about Xu Chenyi for free. It was a win-win situation.

That’s business for you.

The phone rang, and Su Hua clicked to answer it.

“Miss Jian, there were two incidents this morning.”

A shade of darkness flickered rapidly in Su Hua’s eyes, then she coldly replied, “Okay, I’ll transfer the money to your account.”

With that said, Su Hua hung up the phone.

“Tang Tan, it seems there’s always a way out for you in heaven.”

Destroy what you can’t get; don’t let others have it—this was Tang Tan’s life motto.

So, this time Tang Tan hired mercenaries to assassinate Mo Han. It must be said that this was a good method.

However, the only oversight Tang Tan made was that his task was posted on the mercenary website. Su Hua happened to see it and promptly posted another task on the website – to protect Mo Han with triple the commission.

Before long, Su Hua saw the news online about Tang Tan, the CEO of Tang Corporation, illegally imprisoning people.

On that day, Tang’s grandfather suffered a stroke from anger and was hospitalized, causing Tang Corporation’s stock price to plummet.

Once again, Su Hua, in her humanitarian spirit, didn’t take advantage of the opportunity to buy Tang Corporation’s stocks.

A week later, Tang Tan was sentenced to fifteen days of detention.

Tang Corporation’s stock prices plummeted again, and the company was in danger. But everyone was waiting quietly for Tang Tan’s release from custody. It was during this time that Su Hua heard the news of  grandfather Tang death.

With Tang Corporation’s employees in disarray, demanding a board meeting to elect a new CEO.

However, with the largest shareholder, Tang Tan, absent, how could they hold a board meeting?

Consequently, shareholders started selling their stocks. Su Hua only began slowly acquiring Tang Corporation’s shares after grandfather Tang passed away, while Su Luo followed behind, picking up the pieces.

Although Tang Tan was in prison, he received messages every day.

He issued several orders, but none could be executed because he wasn’t there. He could only watch as his stocks were bought up by others.

By the time Tang Tan was released, Su Hua had already taken over half of Tang Corporation, even more than he had.

Then the board meeting was convened, and Su Hua was elected chairman.

“Tan, I’m sorry.” In the cafe, Xu Chenyi, embraced by Su Luo, apologized to Tang Tan.

Tang Tan looked at Xu Chenyi and smirked mockingly, “I won’t let go.”

Whether Tang Tan let go or not, Su Luo directly took Xu Chenyi out of the country, delegating domestic affairs to other executives.

It wasn’t surprising that Xu Chenyi chose Su Luo. After all, he had been locked up and tortured by Tang Tan for half a month. Even the best of feelings were worn thin by Tang Tan.

Moreover, there was Su Luo, who was gentle and caring. In comparison, Xu Chenyi and Tang Tan’s relationship ended.

After learning of Xu Chenyi’s whereabouts, Tang Tan also went abroad. Meanwhile, Su Hua took the opportunity to control Tang Corporation, reducing Tang Tan to merely a shareholder who received dividends.

Shortly after, Tang Corporation was acquired by Jian Mo Technology.

With no source of income abroad, Tang Tan began selling his shares. Inadvertently, he spent it all.

Su Luo dealt a final blow to the fallen enemy, ensuring Tang Tan had no chance of making a comeback.

In the end, Su Hua heard that Tang Tan had resorted to unconventional means to make a living and was living a difficult life.

Mo Han didn’t live long in this world. He passed away at the age of sixty, and his blackening value cleared to zero only at the last moment before his death.

After he left, Su Hua held his hand and followed suit.

Not long after, cries of alarm came from the hospital. The two on the hospital bed held each other’s hands tightly, their eyes closed, breathless.

“Mo Han was a complete big hypocrite!” She was infuriated that his blackening value cleared only at the last moment before his death.

“Host, I must rescan you; please don’t resist.”

The host had too many hang-ups. Even if it couldn’t scan anything, it had to try.

What if one day it actually finds something?

Dreams must still be pursued.
