PNB Chapter 495 Lamb to the Slaughter
Chapter 495 Lamb to the Slaughter
In the reception room.
As Rong Shu walked in, she saw Zhao Zheng sitting in his seat, still with that alluring demeanor, a faint, arrogant smile playing on his lips, his eyes flashing with a sharp edge as he looked at Rong Shu.
He wasn't surprised at all by her appearance.
Rong Shu looked at Zhao Zheng expressionlessly. He wasn't the only one there. She stepped forward, sat down in the main seat, and looked at Zhao Zheng, "Mr. Zhao, what brings you here?"
He Ming stood beside her.
Zhao Zheng smiled and said, "Evelynn, are you going to stand up for Sheng Tingchen?"
Rong Shu confronted him, "I have a share in this too, shouldn't I be able to make his decisions?"
Zhao Zheng's smile deepened, and he said, "Weren't you still in court for divorce before?"
"This is none of your business. Tell me, what exactly do you want?"
Zhao Zheng composed himself and gestured to the person beside him. The person took a document from his briefcase and handed it to him. Zhao Zheng then handed it to Rong Shu, saying, "Evelynn, take a look."
Rong Shu gave the man a wary look, took the document, and opened it to examine it carefully.
I've read through the first page.
Rong Shu's face instantly turned cold. He looked at Zhao Zheng and sneered, "Zhao Zheng, you really can't wait? Are you so sure he won't come back?"
She tried her best to calm herself down and control her emotions. She was now certain that Sheng Tingchen's disappearance was related to Zhao Zheng.
Zhao Zheng's lips still held that faint smile. "Evelynn, I advise you to face reality. You think that even if Sheng Tingchen is incredibly powerful, he is still just a human being, not a god, if someone falls into the sea in the middle of the night."
Rong Shu's breathing became heavy as she listened to his words.
"I admit that Evelynn is an outstanding woman. You have reached a level that ninety percent of women cannot achieve. But this is a man's battlefield. You alone cannot do anything. You cannot take over Sheng Tingchen's business. Even in Beijing, you cannot do anything, let alone here in New York. Even if you are eyeing his wife's identity, you are just an insignificant ant. Evelynn, don't overestimate yourself. Think about how that Mrs. Fan died before?" The man's voice was as sinister as a venomous snake in the rainy night.
Rong Shu's fingertips clenched so tightly they turned white.
"Sheng Tingchen is gone, and Evelynn, you'll only become a lamb to the slaughter. So for your own sake, you'd better stay out of it."
His words carried a blatant threat.
Hearing the man's words, Rong Shu threw down the documents in her hand, leaned back in her chair, and stared coldly at Zhao Zheng. Her tone was unusually calm as she said, "Those words are indeed intimidating. Well then, I'd like to see if you can drive me to a dead end."
There was a few seconds of silence in the living room.
suddenly.
Zhao Zheng raised his hand and clapped his hands. He laughed, and his playful laughter echoed arrogantly in the reception room.
The applause stopped abruptly.
"I love Evelynn's stubborn and unyielding spirit. If Sheng Tingchen could see it, he would definitely be moved."
Rong Shu did not answer him.
"Alright, in that case, let's take our time! You can take another look at the documents." With that, he stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and walked towards the door. As he passed Rong Shu, he stopped, tilted his head slightly, and "kindly" reminded her, "Evelynn, this is just the beginning. You'll be facing not only me, but David won't let such a good opportunity slip by either. You'd better be prepared."
Zhao Zheng and his group left.
Rong Shu sat in her seat, her face gradually turning pale.
"Madam, are you alright?" He Ming asked with concern.
Judging from the confrontation between Rong Shu and He Zheng just now, the two obviously know each other and have a grudge. However, it is indeed not easy for a woman to deal with Zhao Zheng's threats so calmly and not be coerced or intimidated.
Judging from their conversation, he roughly understands the situation between President Sheng and her; at least for now, Evelynn is on President Sheng's side.
Rong Shu breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm fine, you go and get ready!"
He Ming replied, "Yes."
Rong Shu stood up and said, "Make a cup of coffee and bring it to the office."
"Yes."
Rong Shu took Zhao Zheng's document back to Sheng Tingchen's office.
Her secretary brought her a cup of coffee, and she picked it up, took a sip, and carefully looked at the document.
She thought about what Zhao Zheng had just said. He was right. Once it was determined that Sheng Tingchen had completely disappeared, the elites of New York's upper class would definitely divide up everything Sheng Tingchen had, leaving nothing behind. No one would lament the fall of a strongman; they would only squeeze out all his value, including David.
She knew all too well the reality of the survival of the fittest and the presence of wolves all around. Sheng Tingchen was able to balance these layers of interests, but once they collapsed, it would sweep in like a landslide and a tsunami.
She has no way to fight against it on her own.
After Rong Shu finished reading the document, Zhao Zheng made no attempt to be polite and directly wanted to acquire the core shares under Sheng Tingchen's name.
It's clear he really couldn't wait.
She put the documents aside.
Until 4 p.m.
He Mingcai had finally compiled the relevant documents, a thick stack of materials.
"Evelynn, everything is ready."
Rong Shu nodded and asked, "Do you know the password to his computer?"
He Ming said, "I don't know."
This was expected.
"Please have a seat!"
He Ming still needs to explain the situation to her in detail.
Rong Shu directly opened Sheng Tingchen's asset statements. She knew that Sheng Tingchen had a lot of assets here, but when she saw the numbers, she was still shocked. This was definitely a huge amount of profit that would make people covet it.
Huge assets are naturally accompanied by equally huge liabilities.
Once it gets out of control.
These debts will also come in like a tidal wave.
Rong Shu suddenly felt a pressure on her chest, making it hard to breathe.
Sheng Tingchen was in charge of the core business, and the funds involved in these projects were countless. These businesses would all be divided up along with his disappearance.
He Ming said, "President Sheng's core team is currently able to stabilize the situation, so Evelynn, you don't need to worry too much. Now, we not only have to deal with people like Zhao Zheng, but the most important thing is to stabilize the bank."
Rong Shu asked, "Approximately how long can this stability be maintained?"
He Ming replied truthfully, "At most a month."
In the past month, they still haven't been able to find Sheng Tingchen...
"We now need to develop alternative plans..."
It lasted until 8 p.m.
Rong Shu did not rest, only drank water, and had no appetite to eat anything. She was exhausted.
At this moment, the entire office building is still brightly lit.
At this time.
There was a knock on the door.
He Ming got up to open the door.
Then I saw David standing at the door. "David."
David nodded, picked up the insulated bag in his hand and went in. He saw Rong Shu sitting on the sofa, with a thick stack of documents on the coffee table.
