For more than two years, he had not succeeded, and he had even developed different feelings for Yun Xi.

He seems to have fallen in love with Yun Xi.

He believed that Yun Xi must love him too, so he could wait.

If he just stays by Yun Xi's side, Yun Xi will definitely be moved and fall in love with him.

He will marry Yun Xi in a grand ceremony if Yun Xi gives him all of the Yun Family's assets.

He will then become the happiest woman in the world.

Yu Xiuhua smiled faintly, running her fingers through her hair. "Two hundred million? I really need to think about it carefully. I don't have 50%, but we can sit down and have an open and honest discussion about exactly how much of a share this is."

"Since 50% won't do, then 60% will do. I won't do it for less than 50%. The price is negotiable, but I also want absolute decision-making power." Yun Xi's gentle voice carried an undeniable determination.

Huo Xiuzhu was dumbfounded. Two hundred million and they still wanted more money? He gradually sensed something was amiss.

Was Yun Xi doing this for Jiang Ye's sake?

He clenched his fists tightly. "Yun Xi, you need to think carefully about whether this investment is really a good idea."

"I've thought it through very clearly. I want this investment; I can afford two hundred million, three hundred million, or even four hundred million."

Yu Xiuhua's face immediately turned ugly. "President Yun, I do want you to invest, but that doesn't mean I'll be manipulated by you. Besides, the total investment for this movie is only 200 million. Are you trying to sideline me and snatch this movie to your company?"

"So what if it is?" Yun Xi said, raising an eyebrow.

"Get out of here!" Yu Xiuhua stood up agitatedly, pointing at Yun Xi and shouting angrily.

"Who do you think you are? If it weren't for your father's sake, who would even want to talk to you? You're just a little brat, not even fully grown yet, and you dare to yell at me like that!" Yu Xiuhua shouted angrily.

[Haha, it's Huo Xiuzhu's turn to perform. He tricked Yun Xi into investing in his lousy company, while he himself took the money overseas to support his drug trafficking group.]

[Ah! I really can't take it anymore, I'm going to call the police and have this bastard arrested!]

Song Shiwei finished speaking than a policeman's voice rang out from outside, "Open the door. Yanjing City Public Security Sub-Bureau. Please submit to a routine inspection."

[Oh my god, the police actually came! I haven't even called the police yet, who did?]

Yun Xi smiled faintly. The story she told President Yu, and it turned out quite well—a classic case of catching a turtle in a jar.

Huo Xiuzhu immediately became impatient, and even a little uneasy.

Song Shiwei chuckled, "[You're sweating buckets, aren't you, kid! I'll open the door now.]"

Yun Xi and Yu Xiuhua then had a heated argument.

Taking advantage of the situation, Song Shiwei called out loudly, "Police officer, something bad has happened! They're arguing! Come quick!"

Huo Xiuzhu's previously uneasy expression immediately relaxed, and he even became somewhat composed.

"Yun Xi, stop talking. It's just a movie, okay? Let's not invest in it, alright?"

"President Yu, stop arguing. We've invested hundreds of millions, not to take all your shares. You're being far too petty."

He lit two fires, feeling incredibly smug. He wanted the fire to burn even brighter; he loved watching it, and that way the police wouldn't come after him.

Yu Xiuhua and Yun Xi exchanged a glance, and their argument escalated even further. Yu Xiuhua even showed signs of reaching out to pull Yun Xi's hair.

Huo Xiuzhu was incredibly excited. Yes, that's how it works; the more badly he's beaten, the safer he'll be.

[You two, don't do it for real! Yun Xi, get out of the way! President Yu, go easy on her, it's just acting, there's no need for this.] Song Shiwei was almost scared to death watching their actions, and she silently tried to stop them from fighting.

The only idiot present Huo Xiuzhu, gloated. When the police entered, he immediately rushed forward, saying, "Officer, those two are fighting, and I can't stop them. What should we do?"

The police were dumbfounded. Who the hell would walk right into their trap?

They exchanged a glance, and in an instant, one of them swept the other leg across the ground, kicking him to the ground. "Don't move, behave yourself."

Huo Xiuzhu took the kick squarely and fell to the ground with a thud, his four legs in the air.

Song Shiwei, "[Sea? Sea Bull?]"

When Yun Xi and Yu Xiuhua saw that the police had kicked Huo Xiuzhu to the ground, their battle came to an end.

"President Yu, wasn't my acting pretty good?"

"Not just good, she could easily win an award for Best Actress." Yu Xiuhua gave Yun Xi a thumbs up.

Now that Huo Xiuzhu was pinned to the ground, what didn't he understand?

Veins bulged on his face as he roared in a helpless rage, "You're playing me!"

"We call this a smokescreen. How can we fool you without using some tricks?" Yu Xiuhua scoffed. "Li Lianpu, the young master of a drug trafficking syndicate and a conman in Northern Myanmar, right?"

Upon hearing the surname Li, Song Shiwei's gossip radar immediately went off: [Wait, Li Lianpu is actually Li Minru's son?! How did Li Lianpu become Huo Xiuzhu's?]

They thought this love affair scandal, fraud scandal, and drug dealer scandal were outrageous enough, but were there even more scandals to come?

They were all dumbfounded; the more they talked about, the more they realized how much gossip there was.

[Holy crap, Huo Xiuzhu's father was actually Li Minru's simp, so he stole the child Li Minru had endured to give birth to. But whenever he saw Huo Xiuzhu, he was reminded of Li Minru abandoning him, so he treated Huo Xiuzhu extremely sadistically. It was at that moment that Huo Xiuzhu first harbored murderous thoughts towards his father.]

[Huo Xiuzhu has killed people?! Wen Chuxue's twisted parents helped him complete a double kill, Wen Chuxue's teacher was the third person he killed, the Huo Family's butler was the fourth, and Huo Xiuzhu's fake father was the fifth. Isn't this a classic Penta kill?!]

Song Shiwei was completely dumbfounded by the gossip. How did Huo Xiuzhu manage to escape legal punishment after killing so many people?
