After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved

Chapter 185: Chapter 185 Li Feng Fu Siya Conspiracy Exposed

On the other end of the phone, Li Feng naturally knew nothing about the real situation.

After calling Skinny and getting a response, Li Feng wholeheartedly believed that Scarface and his men were currently escorting Li Muchen’s grandmother on a ferry back to China.

He couldn’t even wait patiently for the night to pass, and without waiting to personally go to the dock to confirm their arrival, he eagerly called Li Muchen to flaunt his power.

He was truly eager to see his usually composed nephew display a look of panic, and now, Li Muchen’s reaction did not disappoint him.

"Having said this, I don’t want to hide anything from you anymore," said Li Feng. "To tell you the truth, your grandmother is in my hands right now."

"You..."

Li Muchen on the other end of the line gasped sharply, as if agitated yet forcing himself to stay calm.

Hearing this reaction, Li Feng, sitting at his desk, leaned back in his chair, lit a cigar between his fingers, and his expression became even more confident.

"Muchen, regardless of our conflicts, I am still your uncle," Li Feng said slowly, enveloped in smoke.

"If it weren’t for you being too ruthless back in the day, forcing me to resign from the board of directors, our relationship wouldn’t have deteriorated to this point."

"You should be well aware of your grandmother’s health condition. Even if she were properly cared for in Suli’s sanatorium, with her disease, she wouldn’t live more than a few months."

"I took her away actually to save her—after all, she is also my stepmother."

"Is that so." Li Muchen’s voice on the other end sounded murderous and icy, devoid of any warmth.

"Should I then thank my uncle for sending someone all the way to Suli to abduct my grandmother from the sanatorium?"

"Of course," Li Feng said with a smile, unabashedly, "You should be more aware than me about your grandmother’s disease, Primary Pulmonary Arterial Paralysis."

"There’s currently no definitive cure on the market. No matter how effective targeted treatments might be, they can’t extend her life much longer."

"But as for that beautiful CEO of Fu Group, Fu Siya, you know her, right?"

"She has a deep connection with a director of a biological research institute in Mei Country, and that institute has developed a regenerative medicine called SDRS, which happens to be able to treat your grandmother’s condition."

"And now, I have that medicine in my hands."

"How come I didn’t know? Since when did you become so close to Miss Fu?" replied Muchen coldly, "Just say it directly. What exactly do you want?"

"I still appreciate your straightforward attitude, so I won’t beat around the bush," Li Feng said.

"As long as you agree to two conditions, I will bring your grandmother to you, and her illness will get treated, possibly extending her life by at least two years."

Li Muchen directly asked, "What conditions?"

"You may not be aware of the major incident that occurred in China while you have been in Suli. Just today at noon, Old Mr. Fu from the Fu Family accidentally fell into the sea, and they still haven’t recovered him."

"Even though the search and rescue teams are still looking, it’s clear to anyone that Old Mr. Fu is most likely long dead. After such a long time, it’s impossible to even find the body."

"Fu Siya is planning to hold a press conference in two days, this Saturday at noon."

"And I want you to appear at this press conference and publicly announce two things."

"First, I want you to announce that you and Fu Siya have been engaged all along; it just hasn’t been made public. To fulfill Old Mr. Fu’s last wishes, you plan to get engaged to Fu Siya this month."

"Second, you will announce that after your engagement, you will transfer half of your shares in Li Family to me. Following that, the chairman position and the actual control of the company will also be handed over to me."

"If you agree to these two conditions and sign the share transfer agreement after the press conference, I will hand over both your grandmother and the medicine for her treatment to you."

"Once you get married to Fu Siya, the medicine will be delivered monthly to the Li Family, ensuring your grandmother lives a healthy life."

"But if you refuse..." Li Feng sneered, "If you aren’t willing to agree, don’t blame your uncle for being ruthless, and you’ll never see your grandmother again in this lifetime."

"So, my dear nephew, I advise you to think it through."

After saying that, Li Feng abruptly hung up the phone.

He seemed confident of victory, as if no more words were needed. Anyway, he had laid out the conditions and left it to Li Muchen to consider.

And Li Feng’s words, transmitted through the speakerphone, reached the ears of Li Muchen, Lu Sheng, and Old Mr. Fu without missing a single word.

The three men frowned simultaneously.

Li Feng revealing the incident of Old Mr. Fu falling into the sea didn’t surprise them too much.

Just moments ago, Lu Sheng was comforting Old Mr. Fu, saying it might not necessarily have been Fu Siya who arranged to have him assassinated. But now, the collusion between Fu Siya and Li Feng was set in stone.

But this press conference, along with the two conditions proposed by Li Feng—

Li Feng actually wants Li Muchen to publicly declare that he will marry Fu Siya, and also transfer shares and company management to him?

Linking these words with what the assassin said before and everything that happened today, Lu Sheng quickly replayed everything in his mind and said:

"That is to say, both the kidnapping of the grandmother at the nursing home and Old Mr. Fu being pushed into the sea today were within Li Feng’s calculations."

"Li Feng knew that Fu Siya had medicine that could treat grandmother, so he arranged for people to kidnap grandmother and bring her back to China, while making a deal with Fu Siya."

"He introduced an assassin to kill Old Mr. Fu, and Fu Siya sold him the medicine."

"Li Feng calculated that Li Muchen values his grandmother the most, so he uses the whereabouts and life of the grandmother to threaten him. If the threat succeeds, he will gain control of the Fu Family."

"With Old Mr. Fu gone, the one in charge of the Fu Family would be Fu Siya, and she would also marry Li Muchen."

Lu Sheng looked at Li Muchen: "Li Feng has always been trying to kill you. He previously arranged to place St. John’s wort in your pillow."

"If you really transfer the shares as he says, and he truly gains control of the Li Family, he would hardly let you off easily and would definitely find ways to assassinate you."

"If you really marry Fu Siya, Li Feng could monitor your every move through her."

"If something happens to you, Fu Siya would be the sole heir to all your inheritance."

"It’s truly a win-win scheme for them, each getting what they need without any loss."

As he spoke, Lu Sheng’s voice grew colder.

Just with one phone call, this young girl had discerned the thoughts of both Li Feng and Fu Siya, and the analysis of their advantages and disadvantages was extremely logical.

And upon reflecting, how could all this not be frightening?

If the grandmother had not been found in time today, Li Muchen would truly have fallen completely into a passive situation.

Li Muchen could not ignore his grandmother’s safety, and in the end, he might really have had to make some sort of compromise.

And if Old Mr. Fu had really died from falling into the sea today, no one would ever know he was pushed.

The matter of Fu Siya hiring an assassin to kill her own grandfather would never be known in this lifetime.

—Such a calculated plan, truly well calculated.

Lu Sheng almost wanted to applaud Li Feng and Fu Siya.
