Chapter 942: Jianghai Conference, All-In
"Xinhe, are you crazy?"
Shen Tianyuan's jaw was about to drop.
The other elders in the room were equally shocked, their astonishment no less than when Shen Xinhe revealed her Qi Transformation ability.
The Jianghai Conference is an old tradition left by the older generation of the Cao Gang, where routes are decided by force.
To put it straightforwardly, it's a fight, and the stakes are the assets under one's name.
This can be described as a colossal gamble.
"Chairman, perhaps you should reconsider? Our Haiseng Group is already surrounded by enemies on all sides, barely holding on, and losing at the Jianghai Conference would be disastrous."
Everyone was persuading.
Shen Xinhe remained cold-faced.
"There's no need to discuss this any further. I'm just informing you today, not negotiating."
"I understand your concerns, but as it stands, this is the only way to resolve the crisis facing Haiseng Group."
"If we don't hold the Jianghai Conference, within a year or two at most, Haiseng Group will still be gradually eaten away by other Cao Gangs, so why not take a big gamble?"
"I am confident that I am not weak now, and I will personally take action at the Jianghai Conference."
"If I lose, I will immediately step down as chairman of Haiseng Group, and I am willing to compensate all of you with my entire shareholdings."
"Oh?"
The originally adamant objectors suddenly had a subtle shift in their attitudes.
Everyone's eyes turned to Shen Tianyuan.
Shen Tianyuan's face was brimming with undisguised excitement.
"Alright, Xinhe, I didn't force you into this; you said it yourself."
"Then let's go with your plan."
The others also began to relent.
"Alright, we will follow the chairman's plan."
"Since everyone agrees, that's settled then. The Jianghai Conference will be held on the fifth of May."
"You may leave now."
Everyone left.
The conference room was empty, leaving only Shen Xinhe alone.
All alone.
She walked over to the large floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the street below.
People coming and going, bustling with activity.
Yet she felt even more lonely and desolate.
Haiseng Group was now besieged from within and without, with insiders continually making trouble, and she felt utterly powerless.
She longed for a shoulder to lean on.
In her mind, the image of Zhang Xiaoshan appeared.
She took out her phone.
In this phone, there was only one contact number.
Zhang Xiaoshan.
She really wanted to make a call and vent a little.
"Sigh."
After hesitating for a long time, she put the phone away.
...
"Dad, I found out."
In the office of the vice president downstairs.
His cousin Shen Xinhai hurried into Shen Tianyuan's office.
His face was filled with an undeniable excitement.
"Oh, tell me quickly."
Shen Tianyuan's eyes lit up.
Shen Xinhai spoke mysteriously.
"Although I dealt with those two people, I found out from their families that they hadn't killed Shen Xinhe at the time but sold her instead?"
"Sold her?" Shen Tianyuan was dumbfounded.
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Shen Xinhe was sold to a mountain village to be someone's wife."
"What?"
"Shen Xinhe, she, she became someone's wife in the mountains?"
Shen Tianyuan was first shocked, then burst into laughter.
"Good, good, that's great."
"To be sold from a prestigious family to be someone's wife in the mountains is a tremendous humiliation. As long as we expose this matter, even if she wins the Jianghai Conference, she won't have the face to continue as the president of Haiseng Group."
"Do you know where she was sold to, have you found out?"
Shen Tianyuan was already impatient.
Shen Xinhai replied.
"I haven't found out yet because the families of those two people didn't know the specifics either. However, I found out that Shen Xinhe flew back from Qin Province."
"I've already hired many private detectives and bribed the security connections in Qin Province. I think there will be clues soon."
"Good, good, good."
Shen Tianyuan patted Shen Xinhai on the shoulder repeatedly.
Said proudly.
"This time, you've accomplished a great deal."
"Once we find the exact address and gather evidence, I will definitely kick Shen Xinhe out."
"Hahaha."
...
Two days later.
Xijing.
In the afternoon.
Zhang Xiaoshan, accompanied by Master Hei, headed towards the Ten Thousand Treasure House.
It was time to collect the debt today.
"Miracle Doctor Zhang, Chairman Liang is waiting for you."
"I'll be hosting you."
Chu Mingyue greeted them with a charming smile as soon as they entered.
Zhang Xiaoshan nodded and followed Chu Mingyue inside.
Chu Mingyue always wore various types of qipaos.
Her figure was already quite enticing, and today, with a vibrant red qipao, she looked even more appealing.
The round curve of her rear swung left and right, that slender waist.
If one were to embrace Chu Mingyue's waist and push from behind, it would be absolutely delightful.
At that moment, Chu Mingyue was also pondering.
What exactly is going on with this Miracle Doctor Zhang?
The organization behind her had a terrifying intelligence network, yet despite gathering a lot of information, they couldn't uncover Zhang Xiaoshan's background.
Because Zhang Xiaoshan's background was too transparent, too clear.
Just a forlorn person without parents.
Originally just a rural herbalist, suddenly emerged.
In just half a year, he gained tremendous wealth, and his skills are astounding.
He's simply a monster.
The organization couldn't determine how Zhang Xiaoshan managed to rise to power.
Now the organization was even suspecting whether Zhang Xiaoshan had been possessed by some Mountain Spirit or wild specter.
Lost in her thoughts, Chu Mingyue accidentally stumbled.
"Ah."
Caught off guard, her body was about to fall.
Zhang Xiaoshan hurriedly raised his hand to grab Chu Mingyue, pulling her into his embrace.
Soft.
Too soft.
Gentle as if boneless.
Zhang Xiaoshan felt like he was holding a quilt made of silk and cotton.
His hand happened to rest on Chu Mingyue's curvaceous rear.
