“Is that it, Brother?” Di Ziheng had watched Di Jiu struck different parts of his father’s body for a few minutes before he forcibly fed him a black pill.
“Yes, he is now metabolizing it in his body. The toxins will be cleansed in up to three hours. Your father will wake up by then. If you do not believe me, just look at his face.” Di Jiu clapped his hands and picked up his big bag.
Di Ziheng noticed that the grayish-white color of his father’s face had been replaced by a pale white color that was caused by malnourishment.
“Brother, my father has neglected us for years. He never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father. Meanwhile, Xi Xiumin sent you to Luo Jin to suffer. As sons, we should forgive our parents’ mistakes. We are after all…”
Before Di Ziheng could finish speaking, Di Jiu interrupted him. “That’s water under the bridge, Ziheng. This was my old life. From now on, I will have nothing to do with the Di Clan’s manufacturing business. I will go my own way. We can discuss later whether we will get a chance to meet again in the future. If we get along, then maybe we can be friends.”
Di Ziheng sighed. He knew that there was no point in trying to persuade him. When he saw Di Jiu walk out, he quickly asked, “Did you say that Dad was poisoned? If it was poison, then why wasn’t he cured earlier?”
Di Jiu smiled. “There are a lot of poisons without a cure. That’s nothing unusual.”
“I must go find that evil woman and ask her why she was so cruel as to poison my father.” As Di Ziheng thought of Xi Xiumin’s face, anger filled his heart.
“There’s no need to do that. She is already here,” Di Jiu said before he opened the door.
Di Ziheng followed him out. He still didn’t quite understand what Di Jiu meant. However, as soon as he walked out, he saw Xi Xiumin, who was blocked by a hospital security guard as she fought her way in. She seemed to be asking why she did not have the right to visit her husband without the hospital dean’s presence.
“How long have you been away from home, Ziheng? There are a lot of things to be handled at the company. You can leave your father with me!” Xi Xiumin shouted as soon as she saw Di Ziheng.
When she saw Di Zimo, she yelled angrily, “Di Zimo! How dare you return! Leave right now. Ziheng cannot interact with an illegitimate child that does not belong to the Di Family. His father might still be ill, but the rest of his family will not allow him to act like this.”
Di Ziheng clenched his fists in anger. He finally understood why every time Xi Xiumin came to visit his father, the old hospital dean would stay in the room. If the hospital dean were not there, the hospital guards would stop her.
Di Jiu resisted the urge to slap Xi Xiumin in the face. He did not have to worry about her. She would be dead soon anyway.
“Gather the board of directors and call a meeting,” Di Jiu told Di Ziheng.
Di Ziheng, who immediately understood Di Jiu’s intention, also held back his anger. “Whether my uncles disapprove of my behavior will be determined by my discussion with the board of directors. I demand to have a meeting right now. I am tired of having my every move monitored and controlled.”
“You, you…” Yan Xiumin seemed to be mad at Di Ziheng. She pointed her finger at Di Ziheng as she stuttered a bit, unable to utter a single word. After a while, she said, “As you wish. We will see what the board of directors has to say.”
She had originally thought that Di Ziheng would be easy to control, but now it seemed like her opinion had changed.
…
The Di Clan’s manufacturing business was very influential in the Swallow Capital, so it was only natural that its headquarters would be an 88-floor building.
Yan Xiumin’s influence among the Di Clan’s manufacturing business was obviously really strong. When Di Jiu and Di Ziheng followed her into the meeting room, the board of directors of the Di Clan’s manufacturing business had already arrived. At either side of the door of the conference room were two big men. It seemed like if anyone dared speak audaciously during the board meeting, the two men would silence them.
“Why are there so many people here?” Di Ziheng asked doubtfully.
There were 17 people in the room. Since when were there so many directors at the Di Clan’s manufacturing business?
Yan Xiumin swept her gaze across Di Ziheng and Di Jiu. In her opinion, Di Jiu should not be allowed inside. However, there was a transfer contract he needed to sign, so it would be beneficial for him to come in. She was actually happy that Di Jiu had been caught in the act by her. Otherwise, there might have been some minor doubts regarding the share transfer of the Di Clan’s manufacturing business.
Yan Xiumin did not pay attention to Di Ziheng’s words. She just stood up and picked up a document. “72% of the Di Clan’s manufacturing business is currently in my hands, and 7% of the shares belongs to Di Ziheng. The rest of the shares are divided between…”
Di Jiu stood up without waiting for Xi Xiumin to finish her speech.
“What are you doing? We are having a meeting right now. This meeting will determine whether everyone agrees with Di Ziheng…” Yan Xiumin yelled angrily as Di Jiu walked up to her.
Di Jiu reached out and slapped Xi Xiumin before pulling her aside.
“You must have a death wish!” a middle-aged board director yelled at Di Jiu as he stood up. Di Jiu did not wait for him to speak. He immediately raised his hand and threw a wind blade.
A bloody trail suddenly spluttered around. The middle-aged man looked at Di Jiu in disbelief before he collapsed.
Everyone else was too afraid to look at Di Jiu. How could such a person exist? Was he crazy? They had forgotten that Di Jiu had previously killed Di Qiang with a wind blade.
“Come in and restrain him quickly…” Although Yan Xiumin was a woman, she was the first to react.
The two squat-shaped men who stood by the door immediately rushed over. Di Jiu threw two wind blades at them.
Two more corpses suddenly fell to the floor. All the board members finally reacted, rushing madly out of the room.
Di Jiu, who stood by the door, said coldly, “Whoever dares take another step will be killed immediately.”
He had no time to waste with these people. The easiest way would be to kill them all and take responsibility for his crime before going to the Fairy Planet.
“Brother…” Di Ziheng looked at Di Jiu in disbelief. Did he have a death wish? How could such a method be a solution?
Di Zimo looked at Xi Xiumin, who was already sitting sluggishly on the floor, and said, “Both Di Ziheng’s mother and mine are missing. Did you have anything to do with their disappearance? How dare you poison Di Wencheng, you malicious woman!”
“You shouldn’t act impulsively. We can discuss this.” Yan Xiumin was terrified. If she lost her life, what use would the Di Clan be to her?
What was even more shocking to her was Di Zimo’s cruelty. However, she understood why Di Zimo was still alive despite being involved in the underground illegal boxing incident in Luo Jin.
“As far as I know, there are only three original shareholders of the Di Clan’s manufacturing business, Di Wencheng, Di Ziheng and I. I will ask for all the shares to be returned to Di Ziheng. Does anyone have a different opinion?” Di Jiu’s eyes swept over the crowd.
Who would dare express a different opinion at this moment?
Di Ziheng tried to speak again, but Di Zimo waved his hand at him before raising it and slapping Xi Xiumin on the head. Xi Xiumin fainted on the spot. Di Jiu believed that, even if she woke up again, she would not be able to cause any more trouble. Di Wencheng would wake up soon and deal with everything.
“Brother…” Di Ziheng could not help but say again.
Di Jiu sighed. “There are cameras here. Everything that happened was my doing. This had nothing to do with you. I will hold these people hostage and allow them to leave in two hours.”
Di Jiu had bid on a ticket to the Fairy Planet at the auction, so he could leave any day he wished at 4 o’clock in the afternoon. It was already past 2 o’clock in the afternoon, so two hours later, he would be on his way to the Fairy Planet. No one would be able to catch him. Then, Di Wencheng would be discharged from the hospital. With Xi Xiumin abolished and Di Wencheng discharged, it would be easy to kick the rest of the directors out.
As soon as he said this, Di Jiu took everyone hostage and added, “I will leave first. If anyone tried to pull some kind of trick, I will return and hunt them down. Ziheng, please help me go to the Swallow Capital University’s Institute of Martial Arts and visit Qi Xiang. I have to tell him that I will be going to our meeting place first.”
As he watched Di Jiu walk out of the conference room, Di Ziheng felt his whole body go limb. If he had known that his brother would take over the Di Clan’s manufacturing business in such a manner, he would not have agreed to this. This would end his brother’s life. He could foresee that Di Jiu would be living like a refugee in the future.
…
Di Jiu had originally planned on going to the Swallow Capital University’s Institute of Martial Arts to meet Qi Xiang before visiting the Fairy Planet the next day. He had to enter the Fairy Planet earlier after the incident at the Di Clan’s manufacturing business.
It would take about an hour to travel from the Di Clan’s manufacturing business to the Earth Union Aerospace Airport. Di Jiu arrived there at around 4 o’clock.
The auction ticket was very easy to use. When Di Jiu took it out, no one tried to check his big bag. If he put on a disguise, no one would speak any nonsense or check his ID. Di Jiu would also be taken to a small private cabin, so spending billions on this ticket had been totally worth it.
When the plane departed from Earth, the Fairy Planet Earth Union Headquarters were informed that the person who had bought the three jade slips had used a ticket to the Fairy Planet and boarded in disguise. The plane, which took off from the China Union Aerospace Airport, would reach the Fairy Planet in 40 hours.
“Ha ha ha…” Ai Di stood in the big office of the Earth Union and laughed. He had finally received a useful message.
No matter who this person was, they had to be stopped. When the plane arrived at the Fairy Planet Aerospace Airport, he had to be the first to meet them.
It was a pity that the person in question only had the three jade slips. If they had also had the ring, things would have been perfect.
