Chapter 312: Chapter 188: How Did You Do It?Xue Jun was not very surprised by Guo Mengyao’s arrival, but his face darkened as he said, "Guo Mengyao, are you here to see me make a fool of myself?" Guo Mengyao sighed and said, "We’ve known each other for so many years, do you think I’m that kind of person?" Xue Jun sneered, "Then are you here for the shares I hold?" Guo Mengyao nodded, "Yes. Given your current situation, I think you should quickly transfer your shares to me, so that Sister Cao can raise funds and work connections to win the victim’s forgiveness, which could help reduce your sentence." Upon hearing this, Xue Jun looked at his wife, Sister Cao, and asked, "How badly is that person injured? Do you know?" Sister Cao sighed, "I went to visit yesterday afternoon and was nearly chased away by his family. I asked the doctor on duty there, the person is injured in the head with serious aftereffects that might last a lifetime. We have to cover his future medical expenses, which will cost a lot. He’s been in the hospital for two days and it’s already cost over 300,000 yuan. I’ve already transferred a million into his account. We don’t know how much more it will cost." "Over 300,000 in just two days? How did he spend it?" Xue Jun asked angrily. Sister Cao said with a troubled expression, "He’s in the best intensive care unit, seeing the best doctors, using the best medication, doing the most expensive tests. I’ve seen the bills and spoken to the doctors. It seems right." Hearing this, Xue Jun’s brows furrowed into a frown. "Moreover, I had preliminary talks with his family. They said unless we provide 100 million as compensation and cover his lifelong medical expenses, they would not sign the letter of forgiveness. Otherwise, forget about it." "Dream on! Where would we get 100 million to compensate him? What does the lawyer say?" "The lawyer says that we have to wait for the injury assessment to come out before there’s a result, but based on his current condition, it’s likely to be assessed as a serious injury, which means at least a three-year sentence. If the victim’s side doesn’t forgive, it’s at least five years." Xue Jun, who was not young anymore, went pale upon hearing it could start at five years, despite being mentally prepared. Guo Mengyao seized the opportunity to say, "Brother Jun, in your current situation, you must obtain the victim’s forgiveness letter, or you might really face a heavy sentence. And to get the victim’s forgiveness, you have to give a lot of money. So, I still suggest you transfer your shares to me quickly to raise funds. I’m not taking advantage of you, I’d buy at a certain premium. How about 40 million?" "You’re still taking advantage with that price, aren’t you?" Xue Jun glared angrily at Guo Mengyao. Guo Mengyao smiled and said, "Brother Jun, this price is very fair. Otherwise, if I wanted to harm you, I could easily manipulate things during your time in prison, make the company insolvent, and then bankrupt. By then, the shares you hold would become negative assets." Xue Jun’s face changed, and he said coldly, "Would you really let the company go bankrupt?" "I can set up a new company, then acquire this bankrupt company with the new company. It will still be the same company, with the same brand, but by then you’ll be completely out and won’t get a penny. You should know, if I really want to manipulate, I can hire professionals to easily handle this during your years in prison. Even when you get out and check the accounts, you won’t find anything. Of course, doing so would be somewhat troublesome. So, if we can make a deal, I won’t do that." Xue Jun looked angry and said loudly, "Guo Mengyao, don’t you think forcing me to sell my shares now is too much?" Guo Mengyao looked at him speechlessly and said, "Don’t forget, just the night before last you were forcing me to give up control of the company. I believe I’ve been fair to you all these years. It’s you who have been excessive." Sister Cao sighed from the side and said, "Dear, you really were wrong this time. Our family urgently needs money right now; I think you should just sell your shares to Mengyao." Guo Mengyao had already explained the situation to Sister Cao, who was a reasonable person and knew that all these years the company was managed by Guo Mengyao, who led the other two shareholders to make money, never treated her husband unfairly, and the previous investment had already been returned with profit. Additionally, her family indeed needed money, especially to gain the victim’s forgiveness, which would be difficult without spending more money. "What do you know?" Xue Jun scolded his wife, then said to Guo Mengyao, "How about this, I won’t ask you for much, just 60 million. Also, help me get that forgiveness letter. If you can’t, then forget it. If you want to play games to bankrupt the company or whatever, go ahead. See how I sue you when I get out." Guo Mengyao looked a bit helplessly at Chen Feng, who had been quiet. Seeing this, Chen Feng couldn’t remain silent any longer and said, "Xue Jun, did you know Sister Li has agreed to transfer shares to Mengyao for 25 million?" Xue Jun was taken aback, then looked skeptical: "Is that true?" "Mengyao, give Sister Li a call and let her talk to Xue Jun." Guo Mengyao’s eyes lit up, and she immediately picked up her phone to call Sister Li. The call connected quickly, she explained the situation, and Sister Li readily agreed. So, Guo Mengyao handed the phone to Xue Jun to take the call. Xue Jun picked up the phone, placed it to his ear, and after a greeting, heard Sister Li say, "Old Xue, we’ve known each other for so many years, just listen to my advice and transfer your shares to Mengyao at a low price. I won’t harm you." Xue Jun was very curious and puzzled, "Did you really sell your shares for just 25 million?" Sister Li sighed, "Yes. To be honest with you, my husband has also been taken in. I’ve asked her for help, so I’m planning to sell cheap." Xue Jun exclaimed in surprise, "Why has your husband been taken in? What can she help with?" "Keep it down. It’s not her helping, but her old friend, that Chen Feng, is helping. When my husband gets out safely, I’ll transfer my shares to Mengyao for 25 million. More money is nothing compared to the safety and health of my family. If you listen to me, sell at the price she offered. Otherwise, it won’t be good for you. That’s all I’m going to say to you. Good luck." Sister Li didn’t dare to say more. After saying this, she hung up, as her husband was still not out, and she didn’t want to say too much and upset Guo Mengyao and Chen Feng. Xue Jun, holding the phone, was in a daze for a moment before returning it to Guo Mengyao. For a moment, his mind was in turmoil. He had known Sister Li for ten or so years. He was well aware of Sister Li’s local connections and network. One could say that someone like Sister Li, with wealth and ties, rarely had to bow down to anyone locally. Yet now she was conceding and selling shares cheaply. This showed Chen Feng, Guo Mengyao’s old classmate, must have an incredibly deep and unfathomable background. Then, thinking about what Sister Li said just now, that Chen Feng could get her husband out, he couldn’t help but feel stirred. "Chen Feng, Mr. Chen, do you think you could find a way to get me out? If you can, I’ll transfer my shares to Mengyao for 30 million."
