NOVEL NEXT Chapter 253: I Took the Shares
Yang Xing knew that with Fang Feifei's aloof personality, especially around someone like Mei Yino whom she wasn't familiar with,
even speaking one extra word to Mei Yino felt superfluous to Yang Xing.
Therefore, Yang Xing knew that if Fang Feifei made a point to say something, she definitely had a purpose in mind.
"What... What should I do?"
It was probably because Mei Yino was so shocked and scared this morning upon hearing that He Lei had been dealt with by Wang Ye.
At the moment, Mei Yino simply wasn't displaying the intelligence he usually possessed.
After hearing Fang Feifei's words, he put all his hopes on her, waiting for Fang Feifei to solve his problems in the time to come.
"That's why I still suggest that you look for Wang Ye soon, and offer him some benefits."
"And the sooner, the better!"
"You know how fast Wang Ye's Suye Group is growing."
"If you're one step too slow, the things you're offering might already be something Wang Ye doesn't need."
"I understand."
Mei Yino nodded.
He thanked Fang Feifei profusely.
He was considering contacting Wang Ye immediately to see if there was anything he could offer.
Soon after,
Mei Yino left.
Once Mei Yino was gone, Yang Xing turned his attention to Fang Feifei and teased her:
"You are truly worthy of being Wang Ye's woman, always thinking about how to gather benefits for Wang Ye."
Fang Feifei glanced at Yang Xing.
Her voice was still as cold as ever.
She spoke to Yang Xing, "If I remember correctly, you asked Wang Ye to help you become the Master of the Yang Family."
"And you promised to help Wang Ye in return."
"But now, Wang Ye has reached such a position that he no longer needs your help. Shouldn't you take the initiative to offer him some benefits?"
Under Fang Feifei's serious gaze,
and listening to the words she was saying,
a sense of regret suddenly rose in Yang Xing's heart.
He wished he hadn't brought it up just now.
Now look what happened.
Fang Feifei had started to collect debts for Wang Ye.
But from the beginning, Yang Xing had never intended not to give.
He just didn't know how to go about helping Wang Ye.
Now that Fang Feifei had spoken up, it gave Yang Xing some ideas.
As one blooms, another stands aside.
At this moment,
inside Peerless Medical Hall.
Liu Na looked at Wang Ye with a mix of frustration and disappointment and said:
"Next time you go on a mission, can you give me a heads-up? Do you have any idea how annoying it is to be woken up by a phone call in the middle of the night and have to deal with a case?"
Liu Na was glaring at Wang Ye.
The look in her eyes almost as if she wanted to tear him to pieces on the spot.
"Cough cough."
Feeling guilty under Liu Na's intense stare, Wang Ye coughed awkwardly a couple of times.
Indeed, this had been his fault.
"He Lei's all-in move put me on edge," Wang Ye explained. "I was set on dealing with He Lei yesterday and just got back when a guest showed up, so I didn't have the time to notify you."
"Yeah, Mr. Busy Bee."
With a note of sarcasm, Liu Na said, "Now that this storm hasn't passed, it looks like I'll have to stay busy for a while."
"Thanks to you."
As she spoke, Liu Na rolled her eyes at Wang Ye.
Wang Ye could only respond with a wry smile.
Just from the several eye rolls Liu Na had thrown his way, it was obvious she harbored a great deal of resentment toward him.
"Enough."
After complaining to Wang Ye, Liu Na said, "Originally, I could have muddled through this matter."
"But this time, they're insisting on a thorough investigation."
"Is someone putting pressure on them from above?" Wang Ye immediately thought of a possibility.
"Right."
Liu Na nodded, then said to Wang Ye, "The He Family's backers are one of the four major families of the West Mountain Provincial Government, the Lin Family. After finding out about He Lei's death, the Lin Family applied pressure, demanding a strict investigation."
"But in my opinion, they're just going through the motions. After all, the Lin Family most likely aims to take over the He Family directly next. Making a show of it simplifies their takeover."
"Still, you need to be careful during this period. Once it's over, there should be nothing to worry about."
Liu Na's visit wasn't just about complaining to Wang Ye; she had serious matters to discuss, which was why she made the trip specifically.
However.
Upon hearing Liu Na's words, Wang Ye gave a bitter smile and addressed her, "The Lin Family won't let this slide just like that."
"Hmm?"
Liu Na looked at Wang Ye, puzzled.
She got the feeling that there was some other meaning hidden in his words as he spoke.
"Before I took care of He Lei last night, I had him transfer his shares of the He Family to me," Wang Ye said calmly. "Otherwise, I don't have any peculiar hobbies; I could have just killed him and left it at that. There was no need to leave him battered and bruised."
"You... you took over sixty-five percent of the He Family's shares?"
Upon hearing Wang Ye's words, Liu Na's voice rose.
After finishing her sentence.
Liu Na seemed to realize she might have overreacted.
After glancing around and ensuring that no one had overheard her just now, Liu Na then looked at Wang Ye and said, "You've got some nerve. Taking over sixty-five percent of the He Family's shares... the Lin Family is going to be at your throat now."
While she spoke, Liu Na's brows deeply furrowed.
Clearly, she was very worried about Wang Ye.
"The Lin Family doesn't know about this yet, but it won't stay secret for long. Soon, they will start investigating," Liu Na said, her frown deepening, showing genuine concern for Wang Ye.
"When that time comes, and they demand those sixty-five percent of shares, what are you planning to do?"
Sixty-five percent of the shares.
That's a lot!
For Wang Ye to hold sixty-five percent meant he essentially had complete control.
"What can I do?"
Liu Na was frowning so intensely, but Wang Ye looked indifferent, even a bit unconcerned as he replied, "If they ask me for it, I'll just refuse. The shares were given to me by He Lei, not stolen."
"You took them by force," Liu Na retorted.
"But..."
Liu Na's beautiful eyes still held worry as she looked at Wang Ye and asked again, "Are you sure you're just going to keep that sixty-five percent?"
"Sixty-five percent signifies control."
