"He Qi, I don't think I've left the stage yet, and you're already eager to take my seat?"
Fu Yan Ting looked at He Qi, his voice flat, yet it sent shivers down the spines of those around him.
Yet, He Qi was someone who wasn't afraid of death.
Seeing Fu Yan Ting speak, He Qi sneered, "Fu Yan Ting, what does it feel like to be betrayed by the woman you love? Doesn't it feel terrible?"
"You're not me, how would you know that the woman I love is Yan Xi?"
Fu Yan Ting looked at He Qi and asked with a cold smile.
He Qi was stunned.
Although Fu Yan Ting had never explicitly stated it, everyone knew about his deep feelings for Yan Xi.
That was why He Qi had asked.
He Qi's intention was simple: to break Fu Yan Ting's spirit.
But He Qi hadn't expected to receive such an answer.
Upon hearing Fu Yan Ting's words, He Qi was at a loss for a response.
However, He Qi comforted himself, thinking that Fu Yan Ting was just trying to save face. Betrayed by the woman he loved, he surely couldn't bear to lose face, thus he was being stubborn and refusing to admit it.
Fu Yan Ting glanced coldly at He Qi. Seeing that He Qi had no intention of moving, Fu Yan Ting sneered and sat down next to him.
Facing Fu Yan Ting's action, He Qi felt a glimmer of relief. The corners of his mouth curved upwards, revealing a pleasant arc.
Though brief, Fu Yan Ting caught sight of it.
Fu Yan Ting didn't expose He Qi; he let him smile if he wanted to.
Soon enough, He Qi wouldn't even have the chance to cry.
With this thought, Fu Yan Ting's lips curved upwards slightly.
Whether it was He Qi's imagination or not, he felt that Fu Yan Ting's smile held a profound meaning.
He Qi told himself that he was overthinking.
Fu Yan Ting was already his defeated opponent, how could he possibly make a comeback?
Thinking this, He Qi became even more smug and arrogant.
Fu Yan Ting tapped his fingers on the desk. Time ticked by, and the directors had no idea what Fu Yan Ting was thinking.
He winked at He Qi. Upon receiving the signal, He Qi spoke, "Since everyone has had enough rest, I now declare the meeting officially open."
"No rush."
As soon as He Qi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Fu Yan Ting.
No one present understood what Fu Yan Ting meant.
They dared not defy Fu Yan Ting's wishes.
He Qi saw that Fu Yan Ting was still trying to struggle, and since he wanted to struggle, He Qi decided not to interfere and let him struggle.
Soon, Xin Yi ran in, panting. His sudden appearance gave He Qi a bad premonition.
Xin Yi was Fu Yan Ting's capable subordinate. Now that Xin Yi had so brazenly barged into the conference room, it must have been at Fu Yan Ting's behest.
While everyone was bewildered, He Yun strode in, holding a document. The document stated the share transfer of King.
Seeing He Yun, He Qi's eyes widened in disbelief. He asked, "He Yun, you are the mysterious King?"
"What do you think?"
Although He Yun and He Qi were brothers, He Qi's actions had truly chilled He Yun to the bone. He Yun couldn't be bothered with He Qi.
He looked at Fu Yan Ting and said, "Yan Ting, I'm transferring all the shares of Fu Group to your name. This way, we are even with your Fu family."
Fu Yan Ting remained silent, his lips still curved upwards, with the demeanor of a victor. He surveyed the stunned directors around him.
He had said that it was time for the Fu Group to undergo a change, but how that change would happen was not for others to dictate.
In reality, Fu Yan Ting was the mysterious King. To maintain a low profile, when he had suffered an accident and become comatose five years ago, he had instructed Xin Yi to spread the word that the mysterious King had died.
He had wanted to observe how many of the directors were restless through this incident.
As expected, these veteran directors did not disappoint him.
In such a short period, they couldn't contain themselves and began to reveal their true colors.
Since they chose to make the first move, Fu Yan Ting would deliver the final blow.
Today was their end.
The reason Fu Yan Ting had not revealed his identity as King was to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Thus, he had asked Xin Yi to find He Yun and have He Yun cooperate with him in this charade.
He Qi stared at He Yun, his eyes wide with disbelief. He said coldly, "He Yun, can you stop this? How could you be the mysterious King? I investigated, and the mysterious King died five years ago. If you claim to be King, what proof do you have?"
"Here is King's handwritten signature and the share transfer. He Qi, you say you don't believe I'm the mysterious King now, but in reality, it's not that you don't believe my identity, it's that you don't believe you've failed."
He Yun saw through He Qi's petty schemes at a glance. He Qi's face turned extremely grim.
He Yun was silent for a moment, then continued, "He Qi, Grandpa already knows about your actions outside. Grandpa doesn't dare to offend the Fu family because of you, so you have been disowned by the He family. From today onwards, you are no longer a member of the He family."
He Qi's eyes widened in disbelief.
Initially, the group he was about to acquire had slipped away, and now, he wasn't even the eldest young master of the He family.
Having grown up in the He family since childhood, He Qi could not withstand such a blow.
He Qi stared at He Yun with disbelief. Seeing He Yun's smug smile, He Qi suddenly understood.
He said coldly, "He Yun, you arranged all of this, didn't you? Your goal was to see me expelled from the He family so you could claim the He family's assets for yourself. I won't let you succeed."
"You can't say that. I didn't make you scheme for Fu Yan Ting's fortune."
"You..."
He Qi was truly furious, but He Yun's words left him unable to refute. He could never have imagined that the mysterious King was still alive, and that it was He Yun, who lived under the same roof as him.
He Qi knew that he had lost miserably this time, with no chance of a comeback.
If he couldn't have a good time, he wouldn't let Fu Yan Ting and He Yun have a good time either.
He Qi sneered at Fu Yan Ting and said word by word, "Fu Yan Ting, even if you've won, what of it? The woman you love most, Yan Xi, is on my side. Based on this alone, you've lost utterly."
As expected, upon hearing He Qi's words, Fu Yan Ting's expression turned extremely unpleasant.
But He Qi had no intention of stopping.
His gaze shifted to He Yun, and he sneered, "And you, although you have Fu family shares, Yan Xi didn't choose you. Your marriage is a failure. You two are birds of a feather, so what is there to be proud of?"
