Li Changgui walked out of Qin Group Building with a somber expression, hoping to sell his shares at a good price by calling a few shareholders. After all, not long ago, they had been plotting together to outmaneuver Qin Feng—so they should have offered a competitive price. While outsiders might not know, within the Qin Group, everyone was well aware that once the cooperation with the First Automobile Enterprise was finalized, the stock price would inevitably rise. Yet the final outcome left him deeply disappointed. The shareholders either showed no interest or pressed their prices down relentlessly, never mentioning any intention to raise them. In the end, no one offered a price higher than Qin Feng’s. He had several times considered filing a police report, but ultimately decided against it. The "hostages" had not only clearly advised him not to call the police, but also kept him well-informed about his every move. For Li Changgui, whose son came late in life, this young son was everything to him. He returned to Qin's Building, gritting his teeth to negotiate with Qin the younger. The equity transfer was completed swiftly. Before Li Changgui was completely stripped of his assets, Qin Feng deliberately remarked, "Old man, you should stay at home and look after the kids. After all, you're this old—why bother learning all these new tricks from others?" He seemed to sense something, staring intently at Qin Feng. Qin the younger turned away to his office, truly having no patience for such a lackluster, unrefined old man. Upon arriving home, Li Changgui was astonished to find his grandson—more accurately, his son—already back, happily playing with his toys! Everyone else was frantic, rushing outside to search for the child. Only Li the Deputy Director lounged calmly, and upon seeing his father return, he simply sighed, "You all are just busy doing nothing. With just one phone call, I sent this little rascal back." The old man grabbed his son's collar firmly, asking, "To whom did you make the call? Could it be that you're the very kidnapper?" "The elder has reason to believe it was the eldest son who did it, since he already knows that the son became his younger brother. Li, the deputy director, firmly pushed aside his father's hand and sneered, 'You really think highly of me—okay, I can handle being a turtle, but I certainly don't have the chops to be a hostage-taker. Let me tell you the truth: I called the police, and soon after, I received a message that a child had fallen asleep at the playground. Someone called to report it, and I personally picked up the child from the police station.' 'Wait—little Baobao is at the police station?' Li Changgui rushed forward, pulling the grandson out of the pile of toys and asked, 'Baobao, how did you end up at the police station? Who came to pick you up from kindergarten?' Baobao was dissatisfied with his grandfather's actions but still gave a truthful account: 'My father's colleague picked me up and took me to the playground. We had a great time playing.' Later, my uncle took a phone call and bought me a cup of milk tea. After drinking it, I fell asleep... When I woke up, I was already at the police station. Li Changgui suddenly understood—it wasn't just a pit, it was a real one! By leveraging Xiao Bao's identity, he had completely disrupted the family, leaving Li Changgui overwhelmed and unable to focus, thus making him unknowingly sell the shares at a low price. Those were over 18 percent of the shares—based on today's market value, that's well over 30 million yuan. After Qin Group signs the contract with the world's leading automotive company, the stock price is bound to soar! Moreover, these were original shares that paid dividends annually. With a partnership with the top automotive manufacturer, he could collaborate with even more major enterprises to establish joint factories, generating substantial annual returns. For a kidnapping that never actually happened, he had sold so many shares at a bargain price—he was truly regretting it to the point of having his insides turn blue. If it were merely selling the equity to someone else, that would have been acceptable—but in the end, it turned out to be sold to Qin Feng, who thus became the largest shareholder with more than half of the company's shares. The other board members had never had much influence to begin with; now, they simply couldn't even speak up. Reflecting on this, and recalling what Wu secretary had mentioned a few days ago, he found himself sweating coldly. His son, Li Deputy Director, saw his father's current demeanor and felt deeply resentful. He wasn't naive—he had long anticipated that his father's assets wouldn't end up in his hands, and that ultimately it would be his younger brother, the man who had called him "father" for years, who would benefit. Since he wouldn't get his hands on it, he'd rather see him lose everything. Qin's younger brother, recognizing Li's contributions during the company's formative years, had spared him from being completely eliminated. Otherwise, how could he have allowed him to easily secure three million? This three-million-euro deposit was initially committed by Tong Yong Company as a gesture of goodwill, transferred to Qin Group's account to support the R&D department's ongoing efforts to optimize the new engine. However, the R&D department itself is essentially just Hou Bao—this sum, while meaningful in principle, holds little practical value for him, and thus, with considerable embarrassment, Qin Shao has taken it for emergency use. As for Qin Feng—of course, he would never deign to resort to such a crude maneuver as a hostage-taking. Li Changgui took several deep breaths, silently reassuring himself that it was either a blessing or a necessary hardship, and then dialed Lü's secretary's phone number. "He's not my match when it comes to the cultural side; when it comes to the physical, he's not mine either!" The beautiful CEO raised an eyebrow, saying, "I'm afraid he has someone powerful behind him. I've been investigating recently and found that he maintains close ties with a certain government official. Combined with Mr. Li Changgui's performance in the board meetings over the past few weeks, I believe this isn't as simple as it first appears." Qin, the young heir, didn't take the old man named Li seriously at all, waving his hand and saying, "When the enemy comes, we face them; when the water comes, we use the earth to block it. What's so impressive about it? Our Qin Group is currently at the peak of its success—how can a few timid, behind-the-scenes players possibly challenge us?" Mei Hui also thought she had overthought the matter. Seeing Qin step toward the door, she asked, "Where are you going?" In the beautiful CEO's impression, this usually idle young heir had been quite reliable within the company—except when accompanied by her or Hou Bao, he rarely ventured out on his own. Could it be that he was going out to flirt with the female assistant? Mei Hui could only think of this answer, but Qin, the young executive, offered a different one: "I'll go find Luo Manager and tell her about this—let her have her revenge." The beautiful CEO was taken aback: "Find her? Really?" Qin smiled mysteriously: "Heh, it's her!"
