Seeing what Xu Shi was holding, Jiang Chengcheng, who had been in a good mood, immediately became serious.

"Chairman Xu, are you going to..."

She pursed her lips and cautiously probed.

"Of course, this is what I promised you,"

Xu Shi said with a smile. "I told you, that day wouldn't be too far off."

In fact, settling the score with Jiang Fengshan was not only Jiang Chengcheng's long-cherished wish, but also something that was pressing for him.

Although he had obtained the master copy of the "Overlimit Project," this was not something that could be accomplished with just a few words.

Arranging personnel, finding materials, planning the budget... He also needed partners to complete this major project together.

Even a large conglomerate like "Serpent Coil" did not have the complete ability to turn the plan into reality.

And everything had to start with taking over the engineering department.

If Jiang Fengshan wasn't removed from power, everything else would be nonsense.

And now was about the right time—after successfully handling matters related to "Spark" twice, Xu Shi's prestige within the conglomerate had increased significantly.

Some undecided shareholders had also changed their stance, expressing their willingness to get closer to him through Su Lin.

To be honest, his father, Xu Cheng, had a very strong grip on the company, and most of the old employees respected him and were willing to continue to be loyal to his descendants.

The reason he was exploited by Lin Wenhua before was mainly because he himself was truly worthless in the past.

Of course, some people were also intimidated by Xu Anbang's affairs—heaven knows that the newly appointed Chairman Xu, who had been inactive, had made such a ruthless move as soon as he acted.

Would he be next... They had to consider this.

Coincidentally, Xu Shi also seized the wealth that Xu Anbang had, which strengthened his voice in all aspects.

However, he also knew very well that although Lin Wenhua seemed to have no reaction to all this, he must have made some plans behind the scenes.

Fortunately, with this evidence in hand, he didn't need to care about the other party's reaction, and he might not even need to personally deal with Jiang Fengshan.

So...

"Coincidentally, the next board meeting is the day after tomorrow."

Xu Shi put away the chip and leaned closer to look at Jiang Chengcheng. "You might as well look forward to it, Miss Jiang."

"Mm..."

Jiang Chengcheng clenched her fist and nodded forcefully.

The confidence in his smile made her even more convinced that her choice was correct.

Dawn was just around the corner.

"Oh, and besides that, I'll have some other surprises for you then."

After saying this, Xu Shi seemed to think of something else, and his eyes softened a little.

"Oh, what is it...?"

Just as Jiang Chengcheng was about to ask, he put a finger to her lips.

"Let's keep a little mystery for now?"

"...Oh."

With that said, Jiang Chengcheng couldn't ask any further and obediently replied.

But undeniably, she was becoming more and more excited about what was about to happen...

Two days later.

High-level meetings always had to be held. Even if they just chatted in the conference room for a long time, the required procedures still had to be followed.

However, Lin Wenhua knew very well that today's meeting was far from simple.

Mainly... how should he put it?

His great nephew seemed to have suddenly woken up recently and had made many very reliable decisions.

His handling of the gang riots in Sin City was also impeccable, causing almost no losses.

This made many people start to take him seriously, and the reputation of Xu Shi within the company had also improved.

This was not good news for Lin Wenhua, let alone the fact that Xu Anbang's assets had been secretly transferred to Xu Shi's own hands.

The main thing was that he hadn't expected Xu Shi to act so quickly. He had just held a meeting in a small circle, and then Xu Anbang suffered misfortune, catching him off guard.

By the time he realized it, it was already too late... The person he sent to kill Gu Yi had also been lost.

Not only did they fail completely, but they might even leave behind evidence.

Fortunately, the other party hadn't left any loopholes—although no clues could be found about the assassination of Xu Anbang, he had also learned through some channels that Xu Shi had recently used a large sum of the company's reserve funds under the guise of "developing new projects."

Regardless of whether a new project was actually being developed, the act of misappropriating public funds without following the proper procedures was enough to provoke opposition from many people.

As for those mediocre individuals, if they couldn't seize power, then the only thing left in their eyes was money.

Adding to Xu Shi's past poor performance reviews, even if they couldn't restrain him as before, they could at least suppress his rising momentum.

With this thought, he and Jiang Fengshan across from him exchanged a knowing smile.

The so-called channel was naturally Jiang Chengcheng. It had to be said, with her reporting the situation, they had indeed become much more relaxed.

"Speaking of which, why hasn't Chairman Xu arrived yet?"

Thinking this, Lin Wenhua's mood improved considerably, and he asked casually.

"Yes, if he doesn't come, at least Director Su should be sent..."

Jiang Fengshan agreed. However, before he could finish speaking, he saw Xu Shi push the door open and walk in.

He always seemed to be the last to arrive.

"I was delayed by something. Am I late?"

Xu Shi joked and walked directly to his seat.

In reality, he wasn't late at all. Even if he were, no one would be bored enough to pick on him for such a thing.

The meeting began as usual.

It had to be said that compared to the dead atmosphere last time, today's meeting was noticeably more lively.

Some shareholders publicly expressed their approval and praise for Xu Shi, which was a clear show of goodwill.

Others did not express their stance. In their eyes, dealing with gang riots was not enough to change their opinion of Xu Shi.

Lin Wenhua did not rush, but quietly waited for the right moment.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about right, he then took out the prepared documents and said in a low, serious voice, "Everyone, I have something to say."

"Although the company's situation has recently improved, there are still some problems. For example, Xu..."

He had just started when his voice was interrupted by an urgent knock on the door.

Huh?

Who is it?

Everyone was a little puzzled. All attendees were already present; who would dare to disturb them at this time?

However, when the door was opened, the scene they saw surprised them even more.

Tang Shuang, looking heroic and capable, stood at the door with her hands behind her back, followed by a fully armed Inspection Bureau squad.

She didn't say anything, but walked directly to Jiang Fengshan, who was also looking bewildered, and produced an arrest warrant.

"Mr. Jiang Fengshan, is that correct?"

"Someone has reported you for suspected illegal detention, deprivation of personal liberty, and severe abuse."

"These are very serious illegal acts. On behalf of the Inspection Bureau, I am now arresting you according to the law."
