Chapter 1870: Showdown

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Just as Zhou Yuan had expected, Zhou Xicheng did not think too much about it, nor did he read it in detail.

Following Zhou Yuans instructions, he signed his name on the thick stack of contracts.

Fan Jiayi, who was sitting at the side, had an unnatural expression.

She had always felt that something was wrong with this project, but her cousins three comrades had said that they would take over this matter, so she let them handle it.

Seeing that Zhou Xicheng had signed, Zhou Yuans eyes lit up.

Now that the contract was signed, half of the corporation would fall into his hands!

As for the remaining half, through secret operations, he would be able to seize it completely in a year or two!

Ill leave this project to the two of you. It can be considered a test for you. Work hard, Zhou Xicheng said.

Got it, Uncle. Dont worry. 111 definitely work hard and not let you down!

Its good to have such high confidence.

At this moment, footsteps came from the door. Lin Yi and the other two walked in.

Theyre all here. I cant believe theyre all here. Ning Che smiled.

When Ning Che said that everyone was present, she was not referring to how many people from the Zhou family had come. Instead, she meant that the key figures were all present.

Because three people were involved in this matter.

Zhou Xicheng, Zhou Yuan, and Fan Jiayi.

Seeing the three of them enter, Zhou Yuans expression changed.

He didnt know Lin Yi and Ning Che, but he knew Qiu Yuluo.

When her cousin died, she came over to his funeral.

And the problems this project was facing was also caused by her actions behind the scenes.

Therefore, Zhou Yuan did not want to see her at this critical moment!

Miss Qiu, Miss Ning, youre here.

Seeing the three of them enter, Zhou Xicheng forced a smile and welcomed them to the sofa.

Although he did not reject the three of them, Zhou Xicheng still did not understand why the people from the Central Guards Brigade would come over repeatedly.

Wasnt this a little too frequent?

Everyone sat down. Zhou Yuans expression was not very good.

He had already told Wei Yulong and Zhu Junchi about this matter. With their abilities, they should be able to settle this matter easily. Why did these people come here so blatantly?

Mr. Zhou, were here today mainly to talk to you about the project.

Project?

Zhou Xicheng looked at Qiu Yuluo, not knowing what she was talking about.

Is there a new project that you want to collaborate with our Zhou family on?

Its not a project. Its the Zhonghai Water Paradise project between your Zhou family, the Wei family, and the Zhu family.

Zhou Xicheng was even more puzzled. Fie first looked at Zhou Yuan, then at Fan Jiayi.

This was a new project developed by the three families and had nothing to do with the Central Guards Brigade.

Why did she come to talk to him about this project?

Miss Qiu, if you have anything to say, just say it, Zhou Xicheng said politely.

Then Ill be frank with you. Qiu Yuluo changed her posture and said calmly, This nephew of yours is preparing to transfer all of the Zhou familys a.s.sets away through this project. I wont say much about the rest. Youre someone who has been through a lot. You should understand what 1 mean.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xichengs expression immediately turned serious. His gaze became sharp, and he regained his authoritative demeanor.

Uncle, dont listen to their nonsense. Im your own nephew, so how could I do such a thing? They are framing me! Zhou Yuan explained.

Moreover, the Wei and Zhu families are prominent families in Chuansheng, known for their credibility. This project will certainly be profitable once completed. Dont listen to their one-sided accusations.

Zhu Junchi has already confessed. Stop trying to deny it.

Qiu Yuluo took out her phone and played the recording Lin Yi had taken the previous day.

After listening, Zhou Xichengs face turned extremely grim.

With such concrete evidence, he knew whom to believe.

He had never imagined that his own nephew would be capable of such actions!

Zhou Yuans face turned pale. He hadnt expected them to produce such evidence.

Thats impossible! How could he say such things to you! Zhou Yuan exclaimed.

We are partners. Why would he disregard his own interests and say such things?

Money is important, but not more important than life. When ones life is at stake, who would care about these things?

Lin Yi said calmly.

Moreover, to both of them, you are just a p.a.w.n. Why would they prioritize this project?

Zhou Xicheng said nothing. Fie returned to the dining table, found the doc.u.ments Zhou Yuan had handed him earlier, and carefully reviewed them for a while.

When he read to the end, Zhou Xichengs expression became even uglier. He could tell at a glance that something was wrong.

Zhou Xicheng slammed the doc.u.ment onto the ground.

I want you to give me an explanation.

Zhou Yuan did not say anything. His expression was not very good either. Instead, he sneered.

Uncle, whats the point of saying all this now? The contract has already been signed. Although 1 didnt fully succeed, half of the Hercules Group is already in my hands.

Zhou Yuan stood up and stood in front of Zhou Xicheng without hiding his ambition.

Ive been plotting in the dark for more than a year for today. If you want to blame someone, blame my cousin for dying at the right time and creating an opportunity for me. Otherwise, 1 would have to wait for a while before 1 can get the corporation. It can be considered as fulfilling my wish.

You!

Zhou Xicheng was so angry that his body trembled. Fie held his chest and took a few steps back. Fie could not even stand steadily.

Uncle!

Seeing that the situation was bad, Fan Jiayi ran to Zhou Xicheng and supported him. Otherwise, he would have fallen to the ground.

Zhou Yuan, you ungrateful wretch! Your uncle trusted you so much and handed the company to you, and you did this? Is this how you repay his mentors.h.i.+p?

A narrow mind is not a gentleman, a man must be ruthless to succeed. With my abilities, I could lead Hercules Group to greater heights. Why should 1 work for the Zhou family and let that useless Zhou Liang enjoy life while 1 toil?

Zhou Yuans emotions were also running high, and he seemed to be venting years of pent-up frustration.

Ill tell you, Fan Jiayi, youve been opposing me all these years, rejecting several of my projects. Ive kept track of everything. Now, half of the company is under my control. Once I get back, Ill kick you out of the company. Stop being a thorn in my side!

After saying this, Zhou Yuan looked at Lin Yi and the others with a malevolent glare.

You think youre so great, but you still came too late. Now, half of Hercules Group is in my hands, and the board of directors supports me. Give me a year, and Ill kick all of them out. Then, the entire group will be mine, haha

Did you just say Zhou Liang died at the right time? Lin Yis voice was low and menacing..
