330: Chapter 330 Zhao De’s Stance 330: Chapter 330 Zhao De’s Stance “Well then, Mr. Wu, if there’s anything you need, just say the word,” Lawyer Wang said firmly, before letting out a sigh, “It’s just that I don’t think I’ll be able to work for Wu Group for much longer.” “Lawyer Wang, are you planning to leave?” Wu Yu asked with some curiosity. “Yes, some of the deals newly taken over by Wu Ke are actually illegal. Despite my long service at Wu Group, I cannot debase myself to be part of such filth,” Lawyer Wang said, his tone revealing resentment towards Wu Ke. He was, after all, a well-known figure in the legal field and would not stoop to launder shady deals. “Alright then, if one day, I can regain control of the Wu Family, I hope you’ll come back to assist me,” Wu Yu nodded helplessly. If Wu Group was a dynasty, Wu Ke, the cunning “Chancellor,” had already done away with how many “loyal ministers” of the previous regime. Each reshuffle of the personnel was a golden opportunity to rid himself of dissidents. “Naturally, I’ll be there. Well, Mr. Wu, I’ll be leaving now.” Lawyer Wang stood up, bowed deeply to Wu Yu, and then quickly left the hospital room. “Mr. Wu, you shouldn’t be too sad. Where there are green mountains, there’s no worry of firewood. Besides, who says Wu Zijian has the upper hand?” Ye Shikai suddenly chuckled after Lawyer Wang had left. “Mr. Ye, what you don’t know is that fifteen percent of the shares of Wu Group are in the hands of the Wu Family descendants. In the company, the voting rights of these shares are in the hands of the Family Head, which means Wu Zijian has thirty-five percent of the voting power in the company’s decision-making processes,” Wu Yu said softly, shaking his head. Wu Group was like an overcoat, and the Wu Family still made the decisions from within. As a sideline member of the Wu Family, one still had to obey the orders of the Family Head. “Plus the additional fifteen percent that Wu Ke controls, so Wu Zijian’s camp effectively has half of the shares,” Su Qingyu added. Everyone knew that if a person controlled more than half of the shares, they were practically a dictator. Wu Zijian’s faction had a full fifty percent, just one step away from absolute control. “Just fifty percent? There’s another fifty percent, isn’t there?” Ye Shikai replied disdainfully. “What cool words you speak. Another thirty percent is in the hands of those outsiders,” Su Qingyu replied, thinking Ye Shikai was flaunting his wealth, and couldn’t help but give him a sideways glance. “That’s true. My surname is Ye, not Wu.” “Of course you’re an outsider... No, wait, what do you mean?” Su Qingyu blurted out, halfway through realizing something, and abruptly stopped, staring at Ye Shikai in amazement. “Literally, I’m not part of the Wu Family.” Ye Shikai smiled and took out an envelope, handing it directly to Wu Yu. “Take a look,” Wu Yu, skeptical, looked at Ye Shikai as he opened the envelope and skimmed through a few sheets of thin paper. “Mr. Ye, is this for real?” Wu Yu, his hands trembling uncontrollably, wore an expression of disbelief after seeing the contents. “Of course, it’s real. Though it did hurt to spend that much money,” Ye Shikai pretended to be distressed. “Honey, what is all this about?” Su Qingyu, seeing Wu Yu so excited he looked like he was about to cry, was extremely curious and tugged at Ye Shikai’s arm. “Hehe, this is Wu Zijian’s Achilles’ heel,” Ye Shikai said with a mysterious smile. “Knock, knock, knock.” Suddenly, the door of the hospital room echoed again. The three turned their heads simultaneously as a burly man in black stood at the door. Seeing him, Wu Yu showed a face full of wariness and hostility. “Mr. Wu, who is this?” Su Qingyu asked, curious at his reaction. “His name is Zhao De, a close confidant of Wu Zijian. He’s definitely here to check on my condition,” Wu Yu spoke coldly. Most of Wu Zijian’s dirty work was handled by Zhao De. “Second Young Master, how are you doing?” Zhao De placed a fruit basket on the table and addressed Wu Yu with respect. “Hmph, you’re sent by Wu Zijian, aren’t you? Rest assured, I’m in good health. Go back and tell him to be careful, not to get too complacent,” Wu Yu said coldly, showing no mercy. “Second Young Master, you misunderstand. I know you might not trust me, but I came today to clarify a few things.” Before Wu Yu could erupt, the perceptive Ye Shikai intercepted and turned to Zhao De, “You tell us, both your Second Young Master and I are all ears.” “Second Young Master, I know that you must think I’m the Eldest Young Master’s confidant, his lap dog, but I’ve come today to clarify my real identity,” Zhao De said urgently, even becoming somewhat agitated. Ye Shikai’s gaze upon him didn’t seem to suggest he was lying. “Oh, clarify your identity? What other identity do you have?” Wu Yu turned his head away and asked coldly. Zhao De glanced at Ye Shikai and Su Qingyu, his expression awkward. “It’s fine, just tell us here, there’s no need for anyone to leave,” Wu Yu said indifferently. “Actually... I am a person of the Family Head, assigned to infiltrate the Eldest Young Master’s side,” Zhao De’s revelation caused all three to gasp in astonishment. If this were the case, Zhao De’s identity was indeed extraordinary. “Why should I believe you?” Wu Yu rebuked sharply. “This... Miss Su and Mr. Ye can attest to it,” Zhao De pointed at Su Qingyu, latching onto her as if she were a lifeline, and confidently said so. “How can I attest to it?” Su Qingyu, being pointed at, was somewhat baffled. “Miss Su, during your time in Yanjing, did you receive a bomb? And Mr. Ye, when you were in Yanjing, was there a shooting at your residence, and within the bullets, was there a note?” Zhao De said urgently. “It was you.” “It was you.” Su Qingyu and Ye Shikai exclaimed in unison, faces full of surprise. They had not expected that the mysterious gunman was Zhao De. “Yes, it was I. At that time, I was undercover beside the Eldest Young Master, having gained his trust. When he was discussing partnerships with the Ji Family, I overheard a conversation,” Zhao De eagerly nodded, affirming his claim. “I heard they planned to use a bomb against Miss Su; then, I hid in the restroom. Since it pertained to a partnership, I immediately reported it to the Family Head,” Zhao De explained. His eyes didn’t seem deceitful, and the incident with the gunman was known by no one else. With this revelation, Ye Shikai finally pieced together the entire sequence of events; no wonder Wu Liang had been eyeing Tianya Group before. Unbeknownst to Wu Zijian, a time bomb had been lurking beside him all this time. If Wu Liang knew all of Wu Zijian’s dealings, it explained why the old man had such little faith in Wu Zijian.
