Chapter 878: New Sucessor
....Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Li Jin sighed helplessly; her face filled with worry. “Grandpa, what should I do? I’m scared. Honestly, I’ve always felt that granduncle doesn’t need to concern himself with those people in the clan. After all, granduncle is now the major shareholder, isn’t he? At worst, we’ll lose a little profit to get rid of them.”
Li Dan patted Li Jin’s head and said, “The journey of the Li family hasn’t been easy. It can’t withstand the slightest disturbances. So, your granduncle is in a difficult position. Don’t be afraid; your grandfather and granduncle have your back. ”
Li Jin appeared distressed by the weight of the critical mission entrusted to her.
But as soon as Li Dan walked away, Li Jin’s expression changed drastically. Her initial nervousness turned into a triumphant look.
Looking at Lin Mi l s message on her phone, Li Jin couldn’t deny the advantage of having such an ally.
On Guan Lei’s side, upon learning that the Li family had pushed Li Jin to the forefront, he immediately called Li Zhe. “Li Zhe, do you know that your grandfather has given Li Jin a push? What are your thoughts?”
Li Zhe’s voice came through the phone, “l know, it’s indeed unexpected, but considering the actions of those distant relatives of the Li family, it’s understandable.’
Guan Lei’s voice carried a hint of caution, “Don’t underestimate the situation. You should know that the people we’ve been cooperating with from the Li family belong to your branch. If Li Jin takes over, things might not continue smoothly.”
Li Zhe was well aware of Guan Lei’s implications. However, with the sudden turn of events, he needed time to think about the next steps.
Meanwhile, since becoming the heir of Li Industries, Li Jin seemed to glow with renewed vitality.
The stock of Li Industries stabilized, and the previous turbulence subsided. Li Jin increasingly felt the importance of her role, sensing that her career and life were taking off.
Watching the excited Li Jin in her office chair, Lin Mi smiled and said, “Congratulations, Director Li!”
Li Jin’s face was full of pride, and she replied to Lin Mi with a touch of arrogance, “This time, you did well. Once I completely control Li Industries, I’ll help you eliminate those in the Li family who killed your mother.”
Lin Mi, with a faint smile, respectfully bowed to Li Jin, saying, “Thank you, Director Li!”
However, her expression quickly turned solemn. “We’re in a crucial period of a power struggle. If Li Zhe comes back, it might cause some trouble.”
Li Jin, looking displeased, said to Lin Mi, “Didn’t you promise to help me ascend to the position of chairperson? What’s this? No longer confident?”
Lin Mi sighed lightly, “l promised to help you become the largest shareholder of Li Industries, Director Li. It’s not just empty talk. But, Director Li, you’re aware of Li Zhe’s capabilities. If he returns and takes away your position as chairperson, what then? It’s not that I lack confidence, I’m just cautious about Li Zhe. What if he comes back to s.n.a.t.c.h it away after I fulfill my promise to you? I just want to remind you to be careful.”
Li Jin’s gaze flickered slightly.
As long as Li Zhe never returned, she would be Li Industries’ only hope.
With a hint of hostility, Li Jin said, “Aren’t you planning to deal with Meng Yu? Why not just get rid of both Meng Yu and Li Zhe together?”
Lin Mi furrowed her brows and shook her head, saying, “l can’t help you with that. My current capabilities only allow me to deal with Meng Yu. Unless we seek external a.s.sistance, there’s no way.”
Li Jin snorted and sneered, “l thought you were capable! Turns out, not so much. It’s just a matter of hiring a few a.s.sa.s.sins. If you can have Meng Yu killed, why can’t you do the same for Li Zhe?”
Having had a taste of power, Li Jin was unwilling to let go. Only if Li Zhe died could she become the Li family’s sole choice, enjoying a blissful life supported by both families.
“Killing Li Zhe would be much more costly. After all, it involves Li Industries. Your grandfather and granduncle might exhaust all their wealth seeking revenge for Li Zhe. It’s not worth it. But Meng Yu is different. He’s an illegitimate child. Apart from the one-foot-in-the-grave Guan Yi, I doubt anyone cares about his life or death. This way, there’ll be fewer troubles ahead,” Lin Mi explained.
Li Jin pondered for a moment and asked, “How much is Li Zhe’s life worth?”
“Judging by Meng Yu’s price, Li Zhe’s estimate would be around two hundred million,” Lin Mi replied, her gaze coldly fixed on Li Jin..
