I Don't Agree to the Terms

Killing someone and sending them to the hospital are two completely different situations.

Everyone comes to work at your company for the money, but look at you, you ended up killing someone. No one would be willing to accept that.

"And also, the other financial staff sustained quite a few injuries, even the lightest being a fracture…" Assistant Li was somewhat at a loss for words.

This information had come from a disgruntled former finance employee who had leaked it to him using a burner account. He knew who it was but pretended to be confused, acting as if he didn't know who it was.

He was doing this for his own sake. If Xiao Yongsheng died of cancer, he would consider fleeing rather than truly serving as Xiao Yunting's assistant. Hadn't he seen that even the financial director's life was in danger, let alone an assistant who dealt with more confidential matters?

"Find someone to try to suppress this matter and then raise ten billion as soon as possible, it's urgent."

At this time, Xiao Yongsheng could only move the prospect of sacrificing himself to the "Eyes of Tranquil Death" higher up his agenda, as nothing else mattered. If he were to die, his son could be sent to prison, even to death row, and it wouldn't matter. The company could be restructured. With his technology and years of business experience, none of this would be a problem.

On the contrary, if he died, everything would be settled.

"If we sell off a batch of patents, we could raise the ten billion by tomorrow, but..." Assistant Li could think of the quickest way to get the ten billion. But this method was tantamount to killing the goose that laid the golden eggs. Each patent was a continuous source of wealth, and to sell them off in one go would be a huge loss.

"Sell! By nine o'clock tomorrow morning, I want to see that this fund has been transferred, and also, hire some external financial staff today to move this money into my personal account. We can't pay a cent less in taxes." Xiao Yongsheng was worried that his son would mess with the money, which is why he was doing this.

As for paying taxes, it was simple at this time—no need for any schemes, just pay the money honestly.

"No problem, I'll arrange it right away." Assistant Li had followed Xiao Yongsheng for ten years, and he had been diligent and highly capable in his duties.

Within ten minutes, the matter was arranged. As an assistant, he naturally didn't need to look for someone personally; he could use the company's networking resources.

"Chairman Xiao, Young Master Xiao won't come back…" Assistant Li's expression was also somewhat strange. He had another half-sentence left unsaid—that Young Master Xiao had also injured someone.

He suspected that Xiao Yunting had mental problems and might be a violent maniac.

Otherwise, why would he start hitting people at the slightest disagreement?

"Forget it, if he won't come back then let it be. Notify everyone in the company to take a month off but continue to pay their salaries. Except for certain positions that can't be vacated and are suitable for working from home, everyone else should stop work. I'll deal with it when I get back."

Xiao Yongsheng could tell from the odd look on Assistant Li's face that it was not just about unwillingness to come back. There might have been other actions that were inappropriate to mention.

"No problem, I'll communicate it right away." Assistant Li didn't quite understand why Xiao Yongsheng had made such a decision, but it didn't matter to him. It wasn't his company, after all. Even if it was a holiday without him, he was the type who couldn't leave his post and couldn't work from home.

Arranging this took another half hour.

For such a large company, the efficiency was extremely high. Within half an hour, the personnel Xiao Yongsheng needed had arrived, especially the municipal government, planning, and design staff. Even the local leaders of Yunxing City had come over.

This was an investment of one hundred billion to support the infrastructure of his hometown. They would even have to walk over if there was a traffic jam.

"Chairman Xiao, the people have arrived. Please take a look..." Assistant Li hurriedly said.

"So fast, let them in." Xiao Yongsheng was also invigorated; there was no better news for him than this.

At least, it was much better than the bad news he received from his son.

...

"By the way, are you sure there won't be any problems with you doing this?" Shura said somewhat helplessly.

"Don't worry, this is called decisiveness!" Gu Shanhai said forcefully.

"No, this is called being a violent lunatic with a screw loose." The bizarre scene criticized.

He watched with his own eyes as Gu Shanhai stuffed an extremely twisted shadow into Xiao Yunting's body. This thing should be a one-time consumable that could affect an NPC's thinking, causing great changes in their negative emotions.

For instance, the previous thrashing of the finance department staff, today's attack on a manager, and even last night's harsh treatment of Su Man, which resulted in her inability to come to work this morning.

"Ah, well... you have to look at both sides of things, for example..." Gu Shanhai started to think about how to argue his case.

"Don't even talk about both sides, even if it were ten sides, this behavior is still that of a violent lunatic with a screw loose." As a top player who had braved a hundred battles, how could he possibly be fooled by Gu Shanhai.

"Tch, being this hard to fool will leave you friendless." Gu Shanhai teased.

"Enough, do you have any clues?" The bizarre scene didn't continue to argue with Gu Shanhai.

"Not a single one, even on Xiao Yongsheng's end, the opponent seems to be starting to give back to their hometown, preparing to donate a hundred billion. Luckily, I dried up Eternal Life Technology's cash flow in advance through the overbearing president." Gu Shanhai actually felt a bit strange, as if he was missing something.

But upon checking again, he discovered nothing.

Therefore, this became a significant anomaly that needed further investigation.

"What about you? Any findings?" Gu Shanhai also asked in return.

"None for me either. These days, apart from watching the overbearing president and the so-called 'white lotus' painfully flaunting their love to the point I'd rather pick my feet, there have been no other issues." The bizarre scene sighed; clearly, it was because the main storyline was too difficult.

"I plan to go to Yunxing City to investigate. I suspect my ability has been blocked, which is why I'm not seeing everything. Xiao Yongsheng looks like he's about to be done for, and he can't possibly have an epiphany and decide to give back to his hometown at this time. There must be some more secret plan." Gu Shanhai was a man of action, and since there was an issue, he was going to investigate it.

"Even you can be deceived." The bizarre scene's expression became serious, as he had a sense of Gu Shanhai's strength and mystique.

"What's strange about that? The difficulty of this world far exceeds that of all other worlds at the current stage." Gu Shanhai spoke bluntly.

He felt that if The bizarre scene found Shura to team up, the invitation might not even bring him to such a unique world, but if he added Gu Shanhai, it would drag him down.

Mainly because Gu Shanhai was too strong, raising the bar directly, but since The bizarre scene was the one who used the invitation, he had to be accommodated as well, which led them to such a world that appears weak but turns out to be ridiculously strong upon deeper investigation.

"Alright, but for you, the top player, to have such an accident, that shouldn't happen." The bizarre scene teased in return.

"That's just nonsense, I am not the top player at all." Gu Shanhai seriously stated, as he was not a formal player to begin with, not a human, and even less so the 'top one,' so the term did not fit him at all.

The bizarre scene raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Misunderstanding Gu Shanhai's meaning, he then asked, "Have you ever met a player stronger than you?"

"Oh, that I haven't, but there's always someone out there better than you, right? No one dares to claim to be invincible." Gu Shanhai had indeed never met a player stronger than himself but had encountered beings more powerful.

Seeing that Gu Shanhai wouldn't elaborate, The bizarre scene didn't dig any deeper.

Such matters weren't a big deal. There were quite a few low-profile oddities among the players, who didn't boast or show off but quietly developed strength.

Players like them were like ghosts, existing while remaining unknown to others. They seemed ordinary at a glance.

But when they truly showed their strength, it was enough to astonish most people.
