My Stunning Beauty Special Agent Wife-Chapter 221 - 220 The Dagger Revealed at the End of the Map (2/4)
Chapter 221: Chapter 220 The Dagger Revealed at the End of the Map (2/4)
"When I first started my business with Brother Wei, we really went through a lot of hardships. From the very beginning, we even slept under bridge arches. Later, as the company slowly improved, we experienced several crises. Once, the company couldn’t pay the rent, and the office was seized by the landlord. We had no choice but to move our operations to the rooftop. Just imagine how much hardship I endured back then!"
Wei Xueqing noticed that Liu Chengpeng said, "how much hardship I endured," rather than "we endured," and immediately said, "Uncle Peng, isn’t that a bit unfair? Didn’t my father also contribute back then? Everyone knows that you left and returned to the Shangdong Group three times, every time when you were in dire straits, and then came back when the company got better!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Chengpeng’s face turned sour.
After a long pause, he said gently, "Heh heh, you don’t understand the situation back then. In difficult times, someone always has to make sacrifices. Without my sacrifice, how could your father have acquired more than fifty percent of the shares, and how could everyone here receive their current dividend shares?"
"Uncle Peng! What you said is outrageous!" Wei Xueqing stood up abruptly, staring at Liu Chengpeng and said, "Back then, you couldn’t continue, so you wanted to sell the shares to my dad. The company was in debt, and its valuation wasn’t worth much. My dad even paid a premium to acquire them—aren’t you aware of how much kindness he showed you?"
"Indeed!" Liu Chengpeng said with a smile, "Sit down, don’t be anxious, let’s sit down and talk slowly."
Wei Xueqing snorted coldly and sat down because her whole body was trembling with anger, not wanting them to notice.
"I’m not complaining about what happened back then, just stating a fact—Shangdong Group was founded by me and Wei Qingzhong, Brother Wei."
The crowd remained silent.
With a grin, Liu Chengpeng scanned the room slowly and said, "So there’s no need to be serious about it; it’s all in the past. Let’s just respect the facts."
Wei Xueqing’s expression grew increasingly grim.
Because Liu Chengpeng was completely distorting the facts now!
"I am truly heartbroken over Brother Wei’s passing! Extremely heartbroken! But I must take responsibility and take care of Brother Wei’s lifetime efforts. At this moment, I should step up, keep the big picture in mind, take control of the situation, and prevent any mishaps in the Shangdong Group."
"Of course, my Brother Wei was extremely wise, and before he passed away, he transferred thirty-nine percent of the shares to me. This demonstrates his trust in me and the deep bond between us. Everyone! I suggest that I temporarily serve as chairman and that my forty-nine percent of shares should be no problem, right?" Liu Chengpeng reclined in his chair, smiling and surveying those present.
Bang!
Wei Xueqing slapped the table and stood up, glaring at Liu Chengpeng, shouting, "Liu Chengpeng! What do you mean! When did my father transfer thirty-nine percent of the shares to you? That was a forced pledge agreement to save me back then!"
Liu Chengpeng sighed, gazing at Wei Xueqing kindly and said, "Xueqing! I understand your feelings, but this is a fact. It’s an agreement your father and I signed, just like the transfer agreement I previously signed with you, and you currently hold two percent of the shares. In essence, it means the same thing!"
Looking at Liu Chengpeng’s deceitful face, Wei Xueqing wished she could tear it apart!
She only regretted that she didn’t see through Liu Chengpeng’s true colors back then, leaving this scourge in the boardroom!
"Impossible!" Wei Xueqing glared at Liu Chengpeng, gritting her teeth and said, "As long as I’m here, you won’t become a shareholder, and you certainly won’t embezzle my father’s shares!"
"Ah!" Liu Chengpeng sighed, shaking his head and said, "Xueqing, maybe you haven’t rested well lately, and your father’s situation has hit you hard, making it difficult to accept at the moment. But everything I’m doing is for the good of the company!"
"For the good of the company? Ha!" Wei Xueqing sneered, "For your own interest! You’re simply embezzling my father’s equity!"
"If you insist on saying that, I can’t help it. All I can say is that I bought these shares with gold. Ze Kai, go take your sister Xueqing downstairs to rest; she’s not in the right mind right now and doesn’t know what she’s saying." Liu Chengpeng said.
Liu Zekai nodded, stepping forward to try and take Wei Xueqing away.
"Don’t touch me!" Wei Xueqing shouted, "No one can make me leave; we must clarify this matter today! Otherwise, we’ll meet in court!"
"Ah!" Liu Chengpeng sighed, "The words are written so clearly, and you still don’t understand? If you want to go to court, then feel free to do so. Ze Kai! Take her down!"
"Yes!" Liu Zekai’s behavior today completely flipped from before; there was no gentleman’s demeanor as he grabbed Wei Xueqing’s arm and forcefully pulled her up.
Wei Xueqing was terrified, nearly falling to the ground from the tugging.
Not only her wrist was in pain, but her arm and waist hit hard, causing waves of pain.
Facing Liu Zekai’s fierce expression, tears welled up in Wei Xueqing’s eyes.
At this moment, she was utterly helpless.
She also understood that from today onward, no one would protect her anymore.
Her father was gone, the bodyguards were gone, and what remained was only herself, being strong and resisting!
"Let go of me!" Wei Xueqing struggled to break free.
"Don’t move!" Liu Zekai glared at Wei Xueqing, grabbing her arm with one hand and pointing his index finger at her with the other, full of malice.
"Liu Zekai!" Wei Xueqing glared at Liu Zekai, feeling like spitting in his face. "I never thought you’d turn out to be like this!"
Liu Zekai snorted coldly and sneered, "Don’t worry, sister Xueqing; I’ll take good care of you from now on! Now that Uncle Zhong is gone, I naturally have the responsibility to take care of you and provide you with a good life!"
Hearing this, Wei Xueqing opened her eyes wide, looking at Liu Zekai in horror.
At this moment, she finally understood the intention of the father and son.
If her guess was correct, Liu Chengpeng wanted her to marry Liu Zekai and then annex the remaining shares!
No! She absolutely couldn’t let them succeed!
Wei Xueqing struggled desperately.
"Don’t move!" Liu Zekai growled.
Wei Xueqing ignored him, wanting only to break free from Liu Zekai.
Liu Zekai seemed very angry, and he no longer needed to show any deference to anyone, especially since Wei Qingzhong was gone, he didn’t have to pretend to be a gentleman.
Seeing that Wei Xueqing didn’t listen, he extended his arm, preparing to strike her.
Wei Xueqing saw the raised hand, and her pupils widened sharply.
Who would save her?
Suddenly, there was a loud noise at the door.
Crash!
Eight-centimeter tempered glass was shattered by a kick!
Everyone looked towards the door, only to see a tall man wearing canvas shoes, washed-out jeans, and a black T-shirt stride inside. His eagle-like eyes were sharp and piercing; wherever his gaze swept, it was like a knife, causing everyone to feel a sting in their eyes and divert their gaze.
