Chapter 245
“Quite unexpected, isn’t it?” Tang Yuchen hooked a slight smile onto his lips and carelessly seated himself on the sofa, leisurely resting his legs on the coffee table.
Even though it was a very indecent posture, when he did it, it seemed so natural.
An Mingqi hurried over, smiling obsequiously, “Mr. Tang, what brings you to visit me? You should have let me know in advance so I could have personally welcomed you. If there’s any negligence, I hope you can forgive me.”
Tang Yuchen tossed the document bag onto the table and slightly lifted his gaze to look disdainfully at him, “Save your flattery. Just look at what’s inside.”
An Mingqi’s face stiffened. He was much older than Tang Yuchen, but he was always humiliated by him; there was nowhere left for his dignity.
He picked up the documents from the table, flipped through them, and his entire being seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, his face turning deathly pale.
Tang Yuchen leisurely enjoyed the scene before him, lips curling up, “Did you really think I had no evidence? An Mingqi, let me tell you, An Ruo is no longer a member of the An family, she’s part of the Tang family. Even if you’re kicking a dog, you have to look at the owner, right? Moreover, she’s my wife. I’ve just been letting things slide for a while, and you really thought I was a paper tiger, arrogant enough to dismiss me to my face. Believe it or not, I can take your life at any moment!”
The last sentence was uttered fiercely and was even laced with a trace of murderous intent.
“Mr. Tang…” An Mingqi trembled all over, legs going soft, and he almost knelt before him.
Tang Yuchen stood up, calmly adjusting his clothing, and snorted, “Prepare the materials sooner rather than later. When it comes time for you to hand over the An family, don’t be slow.”
An Mingqi’s expression instantly turned ashen.
Falling from Heaven to hell must feel like this living death.
Tang Yuchen’s lips curved in satisfaction as he walked towards the door.
An Xin, who had been eavesdropping outside, quickly stepped aside to avoid a direct collision with him.
Once Tang Yuchen had left, An Mingqi’s strength drained from him, his robust frame aging in an instant as he slumped to the ground like a heap of mud.
“Dad!” An Xin rushed over anxiously to help him up and settled him on the sofa.
Taking the documents from his hand, she perused them one by one, finding they contained evidence of An Mingqi’s past bribes to government officials and testimonies from several company veterans.
And these were just photocopies; the originals were in Tang Yuchen’s hands.
“Dad, does he really want us to hand over the An family?” An Xin asked, trembling.
An Mingqi closed his eyes in agony and remained silent.
“Dad, we absolutely can’t hand over the An family!”
If they did, they would have nothing left.
Having lived a life of luxury, the thought of becoming impoverished was worse than death for them.
“You think I want to, but what do we have to fight Tang Yuchen with?”
A spark glinted in An Xin’s eyes, and she said with a hooked smile, “I have a plan, not only to keep the An family but to gain even more.”
An Mingqi opened his eyes abruptly, asking eagerly, “What plan?”
…

Having just left the coffee shop and not yet returned to the villa, An Ruo received a call from An Xin.
She didn’t want to answer, but An Xin kept calling over and over.
With no choice, she answered but remained silent.
An Xin didn’t complain about being ignored; instead, her tone was gentle as she said, “An Ruo, I’d like to meet with you, is that okay?”
“What’s it about?”
“It’s about great-uncle’s shares; there are some things I would like to discuss with you in person. Let’s meet tomorrow.”
