Supreme Heir Son-in-law

After returning home, Xu Ke went straight to the room of the elderly Xu.

However, the elderly Xu was not in the room at that time, so Xu Ke went to the study.

In the study, only Wang Cuixia was there, and it seemed she was handling some matters in the finance department.

"Mom, where did Grandpa go?"

After hearing Xu Ke’s voice, Wang Cuixia finally reacted.

"Son, when did you come back? Your grandpa was looking for you earlier, he should be playing chess with your dad in the backyard now."

Glancing at the things in Wang Cuixia’s hands, Xu Ke suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. He seemed to have seen these things somewhere, but he couldn’t recall immediately.

"Mom, where did you get these things? They look so familiar to me."

"You child, how can your memory be so bad? Aren’t these the evidences we found at the company the other day when some shareholders were embezzling? The court has already sent me messages; they have pleaded guilty, and most of the embezzled money has been transferred back to the company’s accounts. But after all, it is a huge sum, and I’m verifying it bit by bit now."

Upon hearing Wang Cuixia’s words, Xu Ke finally remembered.

No wonder he felt it looked familiar; these documents were the ones he had found in Zhang Qiang and Li Dong’s offices before.

But he didn’t expect the court to act so quickly, and even these old guys confessed so soon.

Xu Ke had planned to continue investigating if there were any traces of crimes they left behind, but now it seems completely unnecessary.

"Mom, how much money have they embezzled over the years?"

Xu Ke felt, judging from Wang Cuixia’s expression, the money must be significant. Otherwise, Wang Cuixia wouldn’t be working so hard calculating, staying late and working overtime.

"I haven’t calculated it yet, but conservatively it should be at least around 3 billion. There are still some parts the court needs to review, and roughly in two days, it will be settled."

Even though he had a rough idea, Xu Ke was still shocked upon hearing this astronomical figure of 3 billion.

These old foxes are a bit too greedy, aren’t they? 3 billion, they couldn’t spend it all even over several lifetimes.

Perhaps the elderly Xu was fed up as well, which is why he let himself act.

Otherwise, the elderly Xu wouldn’t want such a big commotion; after all, they had contributed greatly to the Xu Group.

This kind of behavior of turning against those who had shown dedication seems unreasonable to outsiders, and it also has a somewhat negative social impact.

Xu Ke’s judgment is correct; such a large entity like the Xu Group, changes in their shareholder level undoubtedly draw attention from all sides.

After Zhang Qiang, Li Dong, and Wang Lishan collapsed one after another, everyone discussed the elderly Xu’s move as turning against those who had shown dedication.

For a while, the social discussion about the Xu Group was enormous; some even began directly protesting.

But as soon as the news of Zhang Qiang’s embezzlement was released, those protestors immediately fell silent.

The court has already put various accounts of their initial embezzlement of 3 billion on the official website.

When everyone saw these startling figures, they simply couldn’t believe it.

Because it was beyond their imagination, it exceeded their expectations.

What kind of people can embezzle 3 billion? If they were given this amount to spend, they probably couldn’t finish it in ten lifetimes.

Now those people also understand why the Xu Group took such actions; embezzling so much, sending them to the court is considered light.

Xu Ke doesn’t pay much attention to those affairs online; their company has a specific team of lawyers responsible for this aspect.

Moreover, he heard that the lawyer team has won several lawsuits over the past few days, almost undefeated.

Those who originally tried to slander them online are now about to disappear from sight.

Anyway, Xu Ke has realized one thing by now: people can be ambitious, but they must exercise restraint; otherwise, they end up like Zhang Qiang and the others, falling into an abyss.

Once a person’s greed is triggered, it becomes endless, until they sink themselves into a deep, irreversible chasm.

Xu Ke once faced many such choices, and he was glad he chose the right path back then.

Otherwise, his outcome might be worse than Wang Lishan’s, and he might not have lived peacefully till now.

"Mom, you go ahead and investigate here. I’ll go find Grandpa to discuss the gathering; you don’t know these days I’ve been so busy I can hardly keep track of things."

This matter has already spread in the Xu family.

Regarding the decision made by the elderly Xu, they can only comply.

After all, the elder’s decision is for the good of the Xu family, which enhances their influence.

The Xu family was already at the peak, and now it could soar straight to the skies, towering high.

Wang Cuixia can already imagine that after this incident, the Xu family will be completely different from before.

"Son, you must seize this opportunity. The future of the Xu family is in your hands."

Wang Cuixia has great expectations for Xu Ke; she is extremely satisfied with this son.

One could say Xu Ke is her pride, Xu Ke is her pillar now.

After hearing Wang Cuixia’s words, Xu Ke felt quite helpless.

Though he knew the future of Xu’s was on him, Wang Cuixia’s words suddenly made him feel a lot of pressure.

Initially, taking over the Xu Group was a helpless move, now with all hopes on him, Xu Ke even found it a bit hard to breathe.

He was secretly thinking whether he should take a break, have some rest.

Otherwise, being so tired all the time, he’s going to end up causing trouble sooner or later.

In the backyard, he indeed saw the elderly Xu and Xu Hua playing chess.

Since Xu Hua joined the shareholder board, he visited the company a few times. But these days everyone is busy at the company, various matters cannot be helped by Xu Hua, so he simply didn’t go these days.

"Grandpa, it’s your turn!"

Upon entering, Xu Ke heard Xu Hua talking.

"Why are you rushing, kid? Haven’t I taught you? Never be hasty when playing chess."

Saying this, the elderly Xu continued pondering slowly.

"Grandpa, it’s been ten minutes already. If you keep doing this, next time I won’t play chess with you; you go find solace in playing alone."

As the son of the elderly Xu, Xu Hua was completely speechless towards his father.

Every time he pulled him to play chess, they procrastinated for half a day. And every time, he would receive a lesson in return.

At this moment, the elderly Xu finally made his move.
