Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 649 - 507: Deliberate Humiliation

The fierce competition between two major conglomerate enterprises naturally attracted the attention of the spectators.

Recent economic news reports have mostly been centered around the tug-of-war between the Yin Family and Shengde Group.

In Shengde Group’s presidential office, Shi Shengde was raising his eyebrows high, his expression lively, evidently in good spirits.

Ever since the acquisition battle between the Yin Family and Shengde began over a month ago...

Shi Shengde hadn’t felt well, this ticking human bomb caused the company to be on edge.

Today, Shi Shengde’s laughter was practically spilling out through the glass door of the presidential office!

Employees who heard Shi Shengde’s arrogant, triumphant laughter finally felt their tense nerves relax.

"I wonder what kind of abilities Yin Shixiu has! The Yin Family is just so-so! How much equity he snatched from me, I’ll not only make him cough it all up without a crumb left, but make him pay heavily!"

Shi Shengde said to the directors in front of him.

He stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, raising his hand with an aura of dominating the world.

"Now that Shengde Group’s shares are nearly recovered, next comes those hypocrites who act loyal but secretly betray me... Daring to clandestinely transfer their shares out!"

Shi Shengde’s eyes were bloodshot, his fierce expression reflected vaguely in the transparent glass.

The board members sitting on the sofa in the presidential office exchanged glances, seeming somewhat cautious.

At this moment, a commotion was heard outside the luxurious glass door of the presidential office—

"What’s going on outside?"

A director questioned suspiciously, the teacup in his hand about to be placed back on the table when the office door was pushed open and several uniformed police officers walked in.

Showing an investigation warrant, the leading officer said sternly,

"Which one of you is Mr. Shi Shengde?"

"I am."

Shi Shengde squinted slightly, his lips still curled upwards, his hand open, "What brings the police here in such a grand manner?"

"Someone reported Shengde Group is involved in smuggling and drug trafficking, the group’s funds linked to organized crime, please come with us to cooperate in the investigation."

"..."

The slight, dismissive curve at Shi Shengde’s lips froze.

The leading officer stepped aside,

"Mr. Shi Shengde, please."

Shi Shengde’s smile stiffened briefly, but quickly relaxed again, he chuckled lightly,

"You must be mistaken, right?"

"You are Mr. Shi Shengde, correct?"

"Certainly."

"Then it’s not mistaken, as for whether the report is true, we need your help to investigate."

Shi Shengde took a deep breath, looking at the investigation warrant in the officer’s hand, snorted, his voice turning cold and deep,

"Do you even know who I am? Just a slip of paper asking me to go with you? I think you’re—"

"If Mr. Shi Shengde won’t cooperate, we can only be unkind."

The officer’s square face was stern, giving him an air of authority.

With a gesture, two subordinates stepped up to escort Shi Shengde.

"Let go of me!"

Shi Shengde was thus escorted out of the office, the employees outside staring at the scene blankly.

A moment ago, the chairman was laughing heartily, his laughter heard from inside to outside the office, and the next moment, the chairman was being escorted out by the police.

Shi Shengde was also very vain and had a fierce temper, facing the slightly questioning and bewildered expressions of the employees, he became instantly embarrassed and furious!

"Where’s the security! Get the security over here!"

The employees exchanged glances, seemingly agreed upon, all lowered their heads or quietly went about their own tasks.

Security?

However strong Shengde Group’s security, could they be stronger than the police with their identification cards?

-------------

"Shengde Group involved in organized crime and smuggling, thirty billion dollars of funds of unknown origin" became the headline across major news the next day.

The police formed a task force to thoroughly investigate all accounts under Shi Shengde’s name and scrutinize all the company chains under Shengde Group.

The action was so swift that Shi Shengde didn’t even have the chance to put on a facade.

Shadow accounts, shell companies...

Bai Sidong led an entire criminal police team to raid all clothing factories under Shengde Group!

After two days of exhaustive searches, drugs were eventually found in a small factory near the port in Shanghai.

Chen Lan reported the latest situation of Shi Shengde in custody to Yin Shixiu.

Yin Shixiu reclined in the leather chair...

"The entire Shengde Group is probably in chaos now. Quite a few company employees have directly teamed up to blockade his wife and children at Shi Shengde’s home."

Chen Lan said leisurely.

Yin Shixiu tapped his index finger on the leather chair, the expression on his face seemed somewhat impatient, as if waiting for something but not receiving it.

At that moment, the general secretary’s private line from the secretary’s office came through,

"President Yin, a Mr. Shi wishes to see you."

"Let him in."

Yin Shixiu said calmly, the spot of irritation in his brow finally smoothing out.

Chen Lan understood, the person he was waiting for had arrived.

"Should I step aside?"

"No need."

Yin Shixiu replied and the general secretary had already brought Shi Yuancheng in.

Though younger than Yin Shaohui by a few years, Shi Yuancheng’s head was fully white-haired, and the strained smile on his face limited him to an elderly appearance.

"Uncle Shi, I finally awaited your presence. Chen Lan, have the assistant brew a pot of top-quality Longjing tea. Mr. Shi loves tea."

"Okay, Mr. Shi, please have a seat."

Shi Yuancheng’s face was sullen as he sat on the sofa beside, yet no sooner had he sat than the sofa sank beneath him!

Shi Yuancheng’s body tilted, startled, his already unsightly face appeared even more awkward.

Chen Lan quickly turned around, went over to help Shi Yuancheng,

"I apologize, Mr. Shi, this sofa was broken from being sat on, with the company busy and chaotic lately, it truly slipped our minds to replace this broken sofa."

How could there be a broken sofa in Yin Shixiu’s presidential office?

Yesterday, when Yin Shixiu had someone deliberately bring a broken sofa in, Chen Lan was puzzled.

Only just now did Chen Lan understand Yin Shixiu’s intention when Shi Yuancheng sat on it.

This boss’s mindset is truly devious!

Chen Lan thought inwardly, but Shi Yuancheng?

How could he not realize Yin Shixiu was deliberately humiliating him?

After decades in office, who dared show him the slightest disrespect?

Unexpectedly, in his old age, he’s being humiliated by a junior’s despicable tricks.

Shi Yuancheng took a deep breath, speaking "it’s fine," while his heart burned fiercely! Yet as fierce, he had to suppress it.

Yin Shixiu showed no apology, quietly sitting opposite Shi Yuancheng.

"Uncle Shi, did you come this time for your son?"

Shi Yuancheng hadn’t anticipated Yin Shixiu to be so blunt.

"Shixiu, where did Shengde offend you that you must ruin him like this?"

"How could it be me trying to ruin him?"

"Shengde Group brazenly exploited the Shi Family’s influence, borrowing your old reputation, secretly engaging in organized crime smuggling..."

"... Is Uncle Shi suggesting I instigated it?"

"Whether Shi Shengde was involved in unsavory dealings, whether Shengde Group engaged in smuggling and drug trafficking, the police will investigate thoroughly, not for you to spout nonsense!"

Shi Yuancheng knew Yin Shixiu was setting him up!

Yin Shixiu’s lips curled slightly,

"Uncle Shi, you really are overthinking it. Did you come just to wrangle with me on a verbal dispute?"

Shi Yuancheng took a deep breath, after a long pause,

"What must be done for you to spare Shengde. What must be done for you to let go."

If there were even a slight chance, Shi Yuancheng wouldn’t come to seek favor from Yin Shixiu.

Only none in the Shi Family could have anticipated Yin Shixiu to openly engage in a takeover battle with Shengde Group while secretly investigating Shengde’s illicit activities.

With this combined play of overt and covert actions, it caught Shengde Group off guard!

Caught the Shi Family off guard.
