Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 729: [Yan Jian Extra] 21, Why Do You Come on a Lonely Night? (2 more updates)_2

The night deepened, and the rain intensified.

Mark chased after him, stubbornly clutching his arm. Despite Ben Shaming’s resistance, Mark clung to him as they walked down the road...

This pitch-black, lonely night, this path seemingly destined for solitary walk, was warmed by a person forcibly tucked in and a shared body warmth. Although the person beside wasn’t the one desired, having someone was better than none.

That night, they embraced for warmth; Mark did not leave.

.

Three days later, Mark personally visited Fude Group.

Under Lin Qi and his subordinates’ suggestion, the board convened to elect Mark as an executive director, serving as a spokesperson for his father.

The first thing Mark did was question the order issued by the human resources department to transfer Ben Shaming. Naturally, the human resources department did not dare offend the new boss, so they retracted the order.

Ben Shaming did not leave. Mark privately discussed with Ben Shaming his wish to have him transferred to his side as his assistant, but Ben Shaming refused.

His body could accept another person, but his heart ultimately could not.

Jamie, over the past fifteen years and more, had long since become his sole obsession.

Thus, the situation evolved: Despite General Manager James personally wanting to transfer Secretary Ben Shaming, Ben Shaming remained, staying by James’ side.

In the eyes of outsiders, this was tantamount to Mark delivering a big slap to James upon his arrival.

.

The situation at Fude Group suddenly became delicate.

Since the company was still called "Fude Group," James was still the one the old ministers cherished, while Lin Qi, though on the throne, was an outsider.

Thus, previously between Lin Qi and James, Lin Qi had been more accommodating and relinquishing, striving to maintain a harmonious atmosphere with James.

But evidently, this young Lin Qi seemed unwilling to follow his father’s path; he came out strong against James from the onset.

Employees of Fude Group had started counting: It appeared the Lin Qi family’s official battle to seize Fude Group had already sounded its trumpet.

.

Mark’s aggressive move shocked even his father.

After dinner that night, the father and son entered the study to discuss business. Lin Qi expressed his wish for Mark to slow down a bit.

After all, Mark was still young, just released from prison, a university student who hadn’t graduated before incarceration; whereas James, though similarly young, had already made considerable achievements in the European Branch.

Lin Qi worried that direct confrontation might disadvantage his son.

Mark, however, sneered: "Don’t you understand? Sir initially let you acquire Fude Group as a step to retreat in order to advance, not to truly hand it over to you, but to use your presence to divide George and James. However, perhaps even Sir didn’t expect he would ultimately give up everything for Shi Nian, never to return..."

"Since Sir can no longer return, and Shi Nian is destined to marry into the Tang Family to sever all ties with everything related to Sir, Sir’s daughter is still young... Therefore, now is the best time for us father and son to officially take over Fude Group. The only obstacle is James."

Lin Qi reminded: "Among the three children of the Ford family, James was initially considered the weakest; nevertheless, he’s now not to be underestimated. He’s intentionally winning over both Sir’s and George’s subordinates; given time, he might become the next Sir."

Mark chuckled: "That’s why we can’t afford to give him the time, we must cut him off early, while his wings are not fully grown!"

Lin Qi pondered for a moment, eventually nodded slowly: "Your approach is quite aggressive, but you’re right. If we give him time to develop his wings, it’d be difficult to deal with later."

Lin Qi strolled around the room, glancing back at his son: "Since we need to eliminate, we must do so thoroughly. Do you have a plan?"

Mark smiled arrogantly: "Naturally, having his own people act against him is the most convenient. When the police investigate, they’ll just see it as love turned to hate, having nothing to do with us whatsoever."

Ben Shaming... was merely his pawn. He used his own body to bind Ben Shaming, giving him everything James couldn’t, and then waited for Ben Shaming to act and kill James.

In this game of strategy, the cost he paid himself was significant. Since he was willing to pay this much, he was hoping to strike in one move!
