She realized she had no chance of winning. Everything was in his control. She was like Sun Wukong in the palm of the Tathagata; no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t escape.
She foresaw the Tong family’s decline, her clear eyes now clouded. Looking at him, she struggled to focus. “I forgot about the Han family. You’re a step ahead,” her laugh was dry and bitter. “The Han Electronics’ shares in the Tong family are small, but their influence in the board of directors is significant. Yi Feng’s appeal in the Tong family is too low, not even comparable to Tong Yitian. How could he convince the board?”
I calculated everything, but I overlooked the human factor.”
A glimmer of admiration flashed in Di Xihuang’s eyes. She possessed extraordinary analytical skills and decisive adaptability—qualities essential for an excellent enterprise leader, which Tong Yifeng and Tong Yitian could not match. Yet, she was willing to hide her talents, becoming an unremarkable little flower.
Since entering the Tong family at five with Liu Qiusi, she had always served as a supporting green leaf, often overlooked. Even he had been lax in his vigilance due to her seemingly ordinary exterior. If she weren’t inexperienced, his meticulously planned scheme for over a decade might have fallen apart.
“Now I understand why you allied with the Han family. Just to prepare for contingencies like today, right? Such a comprehensive deployment couldn’t have been considered overnight,” her eyes began to focus. “What are you trying to achieve by designing against the Tong family? Or what does the Tong family have that you want?”
His handsome face drew closer. “What do I want? No, I’m reclaiming what originally belonged to me.” His low voice carried a cold, ruthless edge.
“The Tong family belongs to you?” Ou Xueman was astonished.
“No,” Di Xihuang shook his head, his crystal-clear eyes flashing a predatory light. “The Tong family? Hmph, it’s irrelevant to me. But whether it’s the Tong family or you,” his thin lips exhaled a cold breath, “it’s important to Tong Baichuan.”
