Chapter 337 – Two Routes

Lin Yi wasnt planning on involving himself with Pengzhans upcoming strategies against Gubang- hed really have to doubt Pengzhans abilities if he couldnt handle it with this big an advantage.

Gubang was flaming as he entered his office- it was the first time hed tasted such utter defeat!! Hed always wanted to replace Pengzhan as chairman, and it was an objective that had seemed so close with Guangbos aid!

There was nothing left for him anymore.

The chairmans seat had been as good as his with Guangbo on his side- hed broken with Pengzhan on that basis alone, to the point where he wouldnt be able to turn back! There was no way Pengzhan was letting him go easy; he had to do something about this as soon as possible.

After some hesitation, Gubang dialed up Li Cihua- this wasnt within Zhang Yuchus abilities anymore

Hello? Mister Jin? How are things coming along? Ive heard from Lil Yuchu that youre getting close to claiming the chairmans seat? Cihua said. Master Bins coming over in just a couple days- there wont be a lack of benefits on your end if this gift of yours gets properly delivered to him.

I apologize, Cihua Bro Gubang said carefully. Something unexpected has happened

Unexpected? Cihuas tone darkened. What happened?

Its about the board member Ive been working with Hes given all of his shares to Lin Yi for some reason Gubang said. Lin Yis in league with that old fox Chu Pengzhan- Things are no longer within my control here at the board Theyll be making a move on me soon

Youre saying that the real estate business were gifting to Master Bin is no longer happening? Cihuas voice darkened again.

Im Im afraid so Gubang smiled helplessly.

Are you fucking joking, Jin Gubang? After all Ive done for you? After Ive lost two golden class masters? Youre telling me that its too bad, are you?! Cihua hmphed coldly. Are you tired of living, Jin Gubang?

Im sorry, Cihua Bro Please dont get angry Gubang wouldnt have thought much of a threat like that coming from someone else, but Cihua having him killed was but a mere trifle! This was no joke, especially when no one would stand up for him after hed been offed!

Dont get angry..? Why dont you fucking ask yourself how happy Master Bin would be if he hears about this? Cihua said. I myself would be fucked if Master Bin gets pissed!! Im telling you here and now, Jin Gubang- the real estate business has to be handed to Master Bin, even if you cant manage that!! Theres no alternative! Youll be shouldering the responsibility if things dont end that way.

Cihua Bro Unfortunately for Gubang, Cihua cut the phone off.

Gubang pushed at his desk and sent the computer falling onto the ground- he himself was pissed, but he couldnt let any of that out at Cihua!

Li Cihua was a man who rested comfortably in both the worlds of law and crime, an existence no one held sway over, except that boss behind his back, an existence even more absurd than Li Cihua!

Chu Pengzhan You sure have forced me into a corner here, havent you Im bringing you down with me!!! Gubang gritted out.

Yet that was all talk- he wouldnt want to get himself in trouble, and he didnt want his pocketing of company funds exposed. Pengzhan would send him to prison if that came to light, but Cihuas rage would simply end his life!!

He had to figure something out before a tragedy like that took place

His nightmare was only beginning- Pengzhan called him out for a talk right as he was brainstorming.

There was no way anything good would come out from this meeting with Pengzhan. He didnt want to go, but there wasnt much of a choice left for him- this was Pengzhans company he was sitting in, after all

Li Fu greeted him with a smile as he walked over to the office door. Mister Jin. Mister Chus waiting for you inside.

I get it Gubang waved his hand weakly before walking through the door.

He was thinking of making a comeback with Cihuas help, but it turned out that he should be thankful enough that the man wasnt coming to kill him.

Mister Jin! Please, take a seat. Pengzhan pointed at the sofa near the office desk.

Gubang seemed to have aged a decade that instant- he looked at Pengzhan, tired and beaten as he sat on the sofa. Chu Pengzhan- dont beat around the bush. What do you want?

He didnt want to play any games with the old fox anymore- there was no need for that at this point. He still had Li Cihua to deal with on top of this Chu Pengzhan before him.

He wasnt even an opponent to Pengzhan anymore- there werent any tricks left for him to play. Might as well hear what the man had to say.

Alright, if you say so, Mister Jin. Pengzhan nodded. Ill give you two options, two routes! First one: I investigate exactly how much youve pocketed from the company and then send you to court.

Ha Tell me the second route. Gubang understood that that wouldnt benefit either of the two.

Second option- you give me all your shares and we let bygones be bygones. Pengzhan said faintly.

Chu Pengzhan!! Listen to what youre saying- thats at least a couple of billions!! Youre telling me to just give them to you? Gubang stood up abruptly, his eyes flaming.

The money youve pocketed all these years Theyre around that number, arent they? Theres at least one or two billion if not a couple. Pengzhan said with a smile. I wonder how many years in prison two billion gets you? Think about your options here.

Give me one hundred million more. Gubang stated his terms after some hesitation.

Pengzhan could see where this was going. He hmphed. Fifty million.

Eighty! Gubang said.

Done. Pengzhan was expecting around one hundred millions worth of compensation in the first place- eighty million was considered low already.
