To Love You Again

Chapter 632 - The Fight becoming Intense



Chapter 632 - The Fight becoming Intense

Eugine continued to softly berate Linfeng's attitude. "But you have to share with us some secrets, ah! Now that we are used by you, you should tell us why! My jaw is now hurting because it almost kept dropping too much earlier."

Eugine glanced accusingly at Linfeng, trying to make the youngest feel guilty enough to spill out the whole thing.

He was really curious.

Was that Guan Gao Huan, the third young master, really a fake?

Who was the enemy of Linfeng and his girlfriend?

Why did that man become their enemy?

He usually would not bother about these things since they did not affect him. However, it was the youngest who was fighting a battle which they did not know about,so how could they, the elder brothers, help their youngest if they knew nothing?

Could they still be called brothers?

The youngest still had the bad habit to take everything on himself!

Aside from ZD World, the youngest never asked for their help. Well, William had already been asked. They were a bit jealous of William's daily boasting of how great he was that the youngest needed his help.

This inspired the silent competitive spirit amongst the elder brothers.

That cheeky bastard's goofy smile almost sent Caleb to Country C and look for Linfeng to volunteer in helping the youngest as well.

Linfeng could see through Eugine's thoughts. He chuckled.

"Then I apologize for not telling you beforehand, elder brother."

Elder brother.

Heh...

Eugine's vanity was satisfied. He lifted his chin. "That's right. In order for me to forgive you, you should tell me what I need to do to help you."

"You just did already. This is enough for now. This a big help, letting us use your name and company as front."

Eugine: "..." That's it?

How was it enough to shove proudly onto their brothers' faces?

"Then how about lending you a hand in this investigation about Guan Gao Huan?"

Linfeng shook his head gently. "Thank you for the offer, but I will handle this matter for now."

He did not want to alert the hidden boss behind the scenes. If someone with Eugine's caliber made a move and investigate, Ming Zhi Yi might get a wind of it.

Eugine was definitely monitored by his father's people, and who knew if there might be Ming Zhi Yi's people mixed in among them.

After all, William's side had been pervaded already.

So it was better to investigate discreetly, as Linfeng's animosity to Ming Zhi Yi so far had not been discovered yet by the man.

****

Eugine made a face. "Eh, so there's really nothing I can do for you anymore?"

Linfeng smiled. "When the time comes, I will be asking for your help, and from the others too. I hope that elder brother's offer will still stand by then."

Eugine's expression finally lifted. "Of course. As I said, in our brotherhood, we should not be shy asking help from each other!"

Linfeng thanked Eugine again.

He knew that he would need the help of his brothers in the future when the time comes where they needed to face Ming Zhi Yi's full power.

Before that though, he had to cut off Ming Zhi Yi's arms and legs in order to weaken his power. Then he and his Young Miss would take him head-on.

In the president's office of IHZHI, Xiong Zhi was resting a bit while browsing the news to keep herself updated with the Guan Empire's fight for succession. Even though a month had passed since the headmaster of the Guan Empire started it officially, there were no news of it in public.

However, it was not the same in the upper society. Everyone knew that the Guan Family would undergo great changes in another month.

Those who wanted to take advantage of this succession war joined the rivalry and picked sides. If the side they chose to support won the succession, then they would gain a lot of benefits. And even if the successor they picked lost, it would not cause them much loss, since they would still benefit from a cooperation with the Guan Empire.

After all, it was not like the Guan brothers were fighting to death and planned to destroy each other. Given the brothers' close relationship, even if the other two lost the succession, the chosen heir would not make it hard for his brothers.

This was what everyone had in mind.

However, Xiong Zhi thought otherwise.

Since the fight for the successor was getting a lot of attention in the upper society, the news platforms for business and finance were updated constantly about the Guan Empire's situation. The public might not be interested in it, but every corporate businessman were.

[The Guan Empire's rising changes: projects sponsored by Guan Gu Ri's faction led Guan's stock price to rise!]

Guan Gu Ri's progress in the past month was distinct and excellent. With the help of the elders' efforts, within a month, they were able to transform their ongoing projects into becoming the top cashcows of Guan Empire, leading to an increase in the business empire's market value and stock price.

[Univ One collaborates with Guan Empire's technology laboratory!]

Guan Gao Huan's weapon was also being sharpened day by day. The collaboration with the Guan Empire made Univ One's prestige grow. Many investors poured in, causing the Guan Empire to rise once more in value.

[The marked 'impossible' became possible, Guan Xixin secures deals between foreign conglomerates and the Guan Empire!]

Guan Xixin's achievement brought a lot of confidence to his faction and his number of supporters grew. Accomplishing a task which no one else could do, their heir candidate was truly capable!

The fight for the succession was getting more intense in a short amount of time.

Leaning comfortably on her couch while drinking some coffee, Xiong Zhi scrolled for more news.

The three siblings were at a fair line in the beginning. But who knew if that would still be the same after a month from now?

Her lips slightly rose.

I guess the time to move forward was coming soon.

****

One month and a week passed since the declaration of the succession trial.

As expected, the competition began to heat up.

[The elders' sponsored projects are pushed back by Guan Xixin's newly established billion-dollar project deal with an overseas multinational corporation!]

[Guan Xixin secured yet another 'unattainable' project deal abroad!]

[Univ One got more investors with the planned expansion to two countries! Guan Empire's stock price exceeded the Lu Empire's at date!]

The flow of the competition changed this time. Guan Gu Ri's faction and influence were pushed down by Guan Xixin's newly achieved cooperation with the overseas market, while Guan Gao Huan was still moving forward steadily and gathering more support on the way.

.....

One month and two weeks passed.

[Guan Xixin's faction dominated the Guan Empire's market!]

[The elders' faction expanded their ongoing projects! ]

[Univ One continued to rise in market value, bringing more investment proposals to the Guan Empire!]

The fight was getting intense.

Guan Gu Ri's faction was unable to push their ongoing projects to the top, so instead, they expanded them horizontally further hoping that it would bring more investments and benefits by the end of the week. This loss during the two weeks made them lose a lot of support from the shareholders. Only the elders remained in Guan Gu Ri's faction.

Guan Xixin's achievement continued to pile up with the help of SC and IHZHI. Now he had a lot more shareholder support on his side, more than Guan Gu Ri.

However, Guan Gao Huan's strong hold over Univ One's rapid growth made him stand on par with Guan Xixin. His Univ One really became his weapon which blinded people to come to his side. They eyed the benefits that Univ One might bring in the future, hoping to topple the ZD World, and dominate the international ICT market. This was beneficial to them whether Guan Gao Huan lost the succession or not.

This made Guan Gao Huan's position as the potential heir become stronger.

Guan Xixin gnashed his teeth. If only Univ One's credibility and fame got lower... then he could dominate the Guan Empire's favor.

Guan Gao Huan just smiled confidently, watching the favor turn to his side as time passed. Guan Xixin's winning streak with each deal would surely come to a stop, while his Univ One's progress would just continue to rise. The shareholders should know which one would be more beneficial to the Guan Empire in the long run.

Guan Gu Ri kept a polite smile calmly while the elders berated him to do something useful.

The three Guan brothers had different thoughts on this matter, while the people surrounding and watching them were betting on which sides to take.

Meanwhile, inside the main mansion of the Guan family, Old Guan collapsed again.

The head butler called his master's personal doctor.

Since the past month, Old Guan's health had worsened.

After calming the servants and making sure that none of what happened today would leak outside, the worried butler ran to the doctor who just came out of Old Guan's room.

"How's master?" The worried butler asked the doctor who just checked Old Guan.

The old doctor's face was grim. "His condition worsened. I thought that he could at least hold on for a month more. But now, I don't think he will be able to wait for three or two more weeks."

The butler paled. His heart went cold.

Master....

He gritted his teeth and asked, "Can you do something that could make master hold on for at least a month? No, even two weeks is enough."
