Chapter 294: Chapter 294: Why Must We Kill Each Other

"I’ve already sent people to secretly acquire shares, and it’s possible that I now hold more than forty percent of the stock."

Rong Guangguo was stunned. He had fought a lifetime to build an empire, and he only owned forty percent of the shares.

Later, when Shaoze took over, he gave him ten percent, and Shaoze, with his own skill, had obtained twenty-five percent of the shares, becoming the largest shareholder.

He worried that Shaoze would become too powerful, so he secretly bought some shares and pulled some shareholders to his side, barely managing to keep an edge over him.

He hadn’t expected Shaoze to easily reach forty percent now.

Did that mean that Shengjue was now under Shaoze’s control?

Did he really, completely, lack decision-making power?

Seeing his shocked expression, Shaoze said, "Grandfather, rest assured, I only wish to take that position. I have no intention of seizing power."

Isn’t that the same thing?

However, Rong Guangguo could tell that even if he made decisions in the future, Shaoze would not go against him.

What he wanted was simply to pull Rong Mingyan down from that position.

"Shaoze, stop this. If you insist on doing so, then I’m left with no choice but to fight you with all I’ve got. Grandfather doesn’t want to fight with you in the business world. After all, you are my grandson," Rong Guangguo said to him earnestly and with heavy feeling.

Shaoze smiled faintly, "Grandfather, you are getting on in years. You should retire early and enjoy your life. Mingyan and I are both your grandsons, but we don’t see eye to eye. He wants to deal with me, so I have to strike back. Grandfather, tell me, if he and I come to blows, whose side would you take?"

Rong Guangguo was taken aback, choked up and unable to say a word.

"Grandfather, you don’t know whose side to take, do you? Then it’s best you don’t interfere in the matters between him and me. Let us fight. But don’t worry, I will leave him alive for your sake."

"You..." Rong Guangguo’s face turned ashen with anger, his words sharp.

"I know you’re powerful, you lead a gang and can kill whoever you want! But let me tell you, if you dare touch him, I will no longer acknowledge you as my grandson! Why must a family fight amongst themselves, do you really have to be ruthless before you’re satisfied?!"

Shaoze slightly lifted his gaze, a complex look flickering in his eyes, "What do you mean by being ruthless?"

"I... mean, are you going to be ruthless towards him?"

"Of course not, I told you, I will spare his life."

"Shaoze..."

Shaoze stood up, cutting him off nonchalantly, "Grandfather, truly, don’t get involved. That I’m not killing him is already showing you respect. He has plotted against me many times, even forcing me to kill my own child. Do you think I should swallow this grievance?"

Rong Guangguo’s eyes widened in shock, "Is that true?"

"Heh," he scoffed coldly, "Could there be any doubt?"

Rong Guangguo’s gaze turned bleak, a trace of pain flashing in his eyes.

He hung his head slightly, his graying hair fully entering Shaoze’s view.

"How did things turn out like this... I thought we, as a family, would be together and get along well... Alright, I won’t meddle in your affairs, but you must promise me not to hurt him... Grandfather has only this one request of you."

If he could not stop their mutual destruction, he could only aim to minimize the harm.

"Grandfather, what if he tries to kill me?" Shaoze retorted.

The old man trembled slightly, lifting his head with a pleading look in his eyes.
