Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Over on Xu Ke’s side, he was busy accepting information about the company.

In the past few days, the company’s finance department has been constantly sending him the latest reports.

Xu Ke had lost track of how many pieces of information he had gone through. By now, he was feeling numb.

"When will all of this be finished? How did Grandpa manage this all these years?"

Looking at the mountain of documents on the table, Xu Ke felt a headache coming on.

Why did he make such a foolish decision back then, insisting on taking over the company from Old Man Xu?

Just then, Old Man Xu walked in slowly from outside the door.

As soon as Xu Ke saw Old Man Xu, he started complaining right away.

"Grandpa, you’re cheating. It’s too much. I’ve been reading for a whole day and night, but I still can’t finish it!" Xu Ke said, pointing at the heap of documents on the table.

Seeing Xu Ke’s state, Old Man Xu chuckled.

These were documents he had accumulated over half a lifetime. It was no easy task for this kid, Xu Ke, to digest it all in a short time.

Even after all these years, there were some documents he hadn’t fully understood. Even if this kid was a genius, it wasn’t possible for him to grasp it quickly.

"You just can’t calm down. If you want to take over the company, you must understand the ins and outs. This is my life’s work; you better not slack off on it, kid."

Old Man Xu’s words left Xu Ke feeling helpless. Wasn’t his grandpa setting him up for failure?

It would take forever for him to finish all these materials.

Xu Ke still wanted to complain a few more words, but suddenly Wang Cuixia walked in from outside.

Xu Ke was slightly surprised by Wang Cuixia’s appearance.

"Mom, why are you here? I thought you were playing mahjong with the aunts, why didn’t you go today?"

Wang Cuixia thought to herself it wasn’t that she didn’t want to go, but that your lovely girlfriend called her back halfway.

"I came here to see your grandpa about something. You better finish reading these documents soon, or it’ll be very difficult to take over the company."

To think even his own mother told him to finish these documents, Xu Ke instantly felt hopeless about life.

"Cuihua, what are you here for?" Old Man Xu asked with a smile.

"Dad, I have some things to discuss with you." With that, Wang Cuixia gave Old Man Xu a knowing look.

As soon as Old Man Xu saw her look, he understood and immediately followed Wang Cuixia out of the study.

Xu Ke watched the situation, bewildered. Why couldn’t they discuss it in front of him, and chose to avoid him instead?

However, seeing the mountain of documents before him, he could only helplessly dive back into them.

"What in the world is so mysterious that it can’t be discussed in Xu Ke’s presence?"

Old Man Xu was very curious now. Anything that made Wang Cuixia so cautious was certainly no trivial matter.

"Dad, Xu Ke is at a critical moment now. We must not disturb him. If he learns about this, it will surely distract him."

With Wang Cuixia’s words, Old Man Xu immediately guessed that it was surely related to the company takeover.

"If that’s the case, go ahead and tell me."

Wang Cuixia then proceeded to recount the happenings of the day to Old Man Xu.

Upon hearing that Xiao Keyi was almost kidnapped, Old Man Xu’s demeanor suddenly became serious.

Even though he didn’t know the mastermind, their intention was clear – they wanted to use Xiao Keyi against Xu Ke.

The only reason for doing this was to prevent Xu Ke from successfully taking over the company.

"Since this incident occurred, it seems this group of old foxes can’t sit still any longer."

"Dad, do you have any thoughts on this attack?"

Wang Cuixia came precisely to inquire about Old Man Xu’s suspicions regarding potential culprits.

If they had a target, the investigation would become much simpler.

As for suspicious candidates, Old Man Xu now found everyone in the board of directors incredibly suspicious.

Judging by their attitude upon first meeting Xu Ke, Old Man Xu had predicted that this group wouldn’t remain calm.

However, although he knew it must be someone or some faction within the board who orchestrated this, he couldn’t pinpoint who.

After all, with so many people in the board, he couldn’t go around suspecting everyone.

I don’t have any leads regarding this matter for now, but you can investigate freely and boldly based on your clues.

If you need any help, just let me know. This matter concerns the future of the Xu Family, and no mistakes can be made.

Old Man Xu’s words were clear: Wang Cuixia, do whatever you must without fear; if anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.

That’s precisely what Wang Cuixia came for; without Old Man Xu’s approval, he wouldn’t have felt entirely secure.

But now that he had authority given to him, he could proceed confidently.

Though Wang Cuixia had spent a long time at the company, he wasn’t particularly familiar with everyone in the board of directors.

Therefore, he asked Old Man Xu about the specific details of the board members, and then set out to investigate.

As for Murong Hai, ever since their last failure, they had been cautious.

Meanwhile, over at Wang Lishan’s, seeing that Murong Hai hadn’t made progress, he had made more than one call to urge him.

After once again hanging up Wang Lishan’s call, Murong Hai was filled with worry.

Ever since their last failure, Xiao Keyi hadn’t been out for a long time.

Xiao Keyi was in the Xu home, and they dared not enter there. Doing so would be suicidal.

Recalling how they startled the snake last time, Murong Hai regretted his actions.

As the deadline given by Wang Lishan approached, Murong Hai grew increasingly anxious.

If they failed this assignment, they not only would have to refund the mission fee but also compensate for emotional damages.

Given their current financial state, Murong Hai definitely couldn’t bear such a burden.

After careful thought, Murong Hai decided to continue staking out near the Xu residence.

He didn’t believe Xiao Keyi would stay home forever.

Girls love to shop, and Mu Ruhai believed there’d be a day when Xiao Keyi couldn’t resist going out.

With lessons learned from last time, Murong Hai acted more cautiously this time.

Before they arrived, they had already thoroughly surveyed the area. They hadn’t found anything or detected any Xu Family sentinels.

After preparing everything, Murong Hai hid near the Xu residence.
