Chapter 1063: Chapter 1106: Outsmarting Oneself

Inside Meng Qianjun’s private club, Wei Zijun, Gu Yanan, and Meng Qianjun sat together in a VIP room. They were having drinks without the company of any beauties. For men of their stature, ordinary, mediocre women simply did not catch their eye, and the matters they discussed were not suitable for outsiders.

Wei Zijun took a sip of his drink and said, "That Li Yifei died just like that; it’s really quite dull."

Meng Qianjun also expressed regret, saying, "Indeed, it’s rare to come across an adversary. I wanted to play with him slowly, but now he’s just gone like that, it’s really killed my interest."

Gu Yanan said leisurely, "Sometimes, that’s how it is. When you’ve made full preparations, your opponent suddenly loses all power to retaliate, which is like punching into cotton."

The three of them all felt this way. With Li Yifei gone, it left them all in a rather foul mood.

Meng Qianjun shook his head, then said directly, "Alright, let’s not be so downcast. That kid Li Yifei left behind quite a bit, let’s discuss how we should divide his leftovers."

Wei Zijun said, "All his assets combined are worth over six billion, but not quite seven billion. That’s easy to split. The three of us take two billion each, and that’s about right."

Two billion, even for a major family, was definitely not a small amount. Though they spoke lightly of it, all three were eying this prize. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be pressing down on Li Yifei’s company after his plane incident. There was no reason for them to not take advantage of such a great opportunity.

Gu Yanan, still in his unhurried manner, said, "It sounds easy enough, but I suspect it won’t be that simple. After all, there’s still Su Mengxin to consider. The Su Family definitely won’t let go of these assets. Moreover, there are the Xiao Family and the Zheng Family; they will surely be eying them, too. If we don’t offer them some benefits, they won’t back down, right?"

Wei Zijun smiled sinisterly and said, "Then it’s even simpler. Li Yifei is dead, and so his women are without a master now. Su Mengxin is mine. Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling will go to the two of you. As long as the women are ours, then all these assets will naturally be ours too. As for anyone else, they are nothing to worry about. The Ning Family hasn’t been involved, and Ning Xin’er is not a threat. Whoever wins her will depend on their own ability. Plus, it’s a buy one get one free deal—we get a little lolita to groom, which isn’t a bad thing at all."

"Hahaha..." Meng Qianjun laughed wildly. "We’re taking the Golden Eagle’s assets, playing with his wife, and in the end, his daughter too. If he knew about all this from his grave, would he be angry enough to come back to life?"

Gu Yanan, with a smile, said, "It’s impossible for him to come back to life in a rage, but when his wife and daughter meet him down there, with green hats all over his head, I wonder what he would look like?"

Wei Zijun downed his drink and said, "It’s a pity we can’t see that expression. If we could, my grudge would be settled. That bastard, he took Mengxin and even got her pregnant. I wish I could kill him myself."

Gu Yanan still smiling, said, "That’s not bad at all. Su Mengxin is part of the Su Family. If you get her, that would mean your Wei Family and the Su Family forming a powerful alliance. At that point, Huaxia would belong to Young Master Wei. When the time comes, you can’t forget about us two allies."

Wei Zijun immediately slapped his chest and said, "Rest assured, I, Wei Zijun, am not one to forget kindness and betray friends. As long as you help me in this matter, I will surely not forget you. Not just the Su Family, but Meng Family, Gu Family, you’re all allies of Wei Zijun."

Gu Yanan, smiling, said, "With Young Master Wei’s word, I’m reassured."

In fact, everyone knew whether they were truly reassured or not, and whether they could be united at this moment. They could share Li Yifei’s fortune, but women, with their complicated entanglements and greater interests, were another matter. And if Wei Zijun were to truly grow stronger, they wouldn’t be at the same level. How could Gu Yanan and Meng Qianjun stand idly by while Wei Zijun grew in power? However, that wasn’t an immediate concern, so the three still prioritized forming an alliance.

"Yanan, what do you think we should do next?" Meng Qianjun asked.

Gu Yanan smiled slightly and said, "Let’s have Young Master Wei decide on this matter. I’ll just be a Front Soldier."

Wei Zijun immediately said, "Young Master Gu, you’re too modest. Everyone knows that you’re the most resourceful, so you take the lead."

Meng Qianjun glared and said, "Come on, you two, what’s with the mutual flattery at this time? If you have ideas, just speak up. Let’s quickly go after the Golden Eagle’s money and his wife, haha."

Gu Yanan modestly waved his hand, and then Wei Zijun said, "Actually, it’s quite simple now. What Su Mengxin and her team rely on is the large amount of capital they still have in their hands. I plan to use connections to freeze their assets. That way, they will immediately fall into financial difficulties. Their company won’t be able to operate, and even if they hold on to a few companies, they’ll be of no use. At that time, we can each employ our own methods, making them come begging to us. Wouldn’t we then gain both people and wealth?"

"Brilliant! That’s truly brilliant! Young Master Wei is indeed Young Master Wei, far beyond my own capability." Gu Yanan clapped in admiration, making Wei Zijun quite pleased with himself, but he was also aware that Gu Yanan’s praise wasn’t entirely sincere—at least half of it was probably just flattery.

At Li Yifei’s home, everyone wore grim expressions. Xu Yingying angrily slammed her hand on the table and said, "This is just too shameful, what right do they have to freeze our bank accounts?"

He Fangqing sighed and said, "Now they’ve pinned the label of money laundering on us, and this sum of money indeed came from outside through Yifei; it wouldn’t be wrong to call it laundered money."

Chu Xiaoyao angrily said, "Why didn’t they care before? Why act now? It’s clear they’re just waiting for Yifei to be absent so they can come and rob us when we’re weak."

"I don’t think the problem is that big," Ning Xin’er said. "Although they’ve frozen Yifei’s account, we all have money. If we pool our funds, I reckon gathering several tens of millions isn’t a big issue."

"I have a little over two million," Xiao Ling’er immediately said.

"I also have a little over two million," Zheng Yuling added. Though both had joined later, they stood firmly united with everyone in this matter.

Ning Xin’er said, "I have just under twenty million."

Su Yiyi hurriedly said, "I have over fifty million." This was money previously managed by Li Yifei and had always been in Su Yiyi’s care, and much of the household expenses were handled by Su Yiyi, so the money had always been with her.

Everybody was talking at once, each one ready to contribute their money.

At this moment, Su Mengxin shook her head and said, "We don’t need to use this money."

"Eh?" Ning Xin’er immediately said anxiously, "Mengxin, we have to use it, or else our company won’t even be able to pay salaries, and it will quickly fall apart."

Ye Yunzhu chuckled lightly and said, "I also feel we don’t need to use it for now. Those people just want to see us in trouble, so let’s give them a good look. They don’t know Yifei is still alive, they think he’s dead, and that’s why they dare to be so arrogant. This is a chance for us to see if the people around us are loyal; those who are with us through thick and thin now, we must value in the future. But those who turn against us at this time, we can’t employ them later, and we need to be cautious with the fickle ones."

Su Mengxin laughed lightly and said, "Yunzhu is right, and by doing this, we can also catch them off guard. When Yifei returns, we can strike a decisive blow and deliver a fatal hit to them. For now, let’s use their own strategy against them. The fact that Yifei is still alive must not be leaked for now. And we need to pretend as if he’s already dead to outwit them."

Ye Yunzhu continued, "This is definitely a great opportunity. People like Wei Zijun, Meng Qianjun, Gu Yanan—they’re all very astute and capable. If we were to confront them directly, it would be hard for them to expose any weaknesses. Even using some strategy, it’s unlikely we could fool them easily. Now that they’re prejudiced, it’ll be hard for them not to fall for it. As for us, we don’t need to make an effort to show anything; just acting normally is fine. Possibly, they’ll see this and think that we’re still desperately hiding our true state, merely putting on a strong front, holding on to a delusion that our husband is alive. They’ll think of breaking our illusion to defeat us."

Su Mengxin clapped her hands in approval, "What Yunzhu said is good; we really don’t need to play any roles now. If we are happy, they won’t believe it. Everyone has their own idea of being clever, especially those who think themselves smart. They’ll think exactly like that, and we don’t need to set the trap—they’ll fall into it themselves."

Xiao Ling’er suddenly got excited and said, "Alright, alright, we’ll do it this way. Hehe, when Yifei comes back, we’ll definitely settle the score with them and get our revenge."

Chu Xiaoyao was also dancing with excitement, "Yes, yes, when the time comes, we’ll have to teach them a severe lesson, let those bastards know how formidable uncle can be."

Everyone grew more and more excited, turning what was initially a troubling issue into something positive. A smile also came to Xu Yingying’s face; these past days, she had suffered a lot. In her business experiences, she had never felt so stifled. Thinking about releasing all that pent-up anger and imagining the shock on those people’s faces when they see Li Yifei return made her mood all the better.
