Supreme Heir Son-in-law

At this moment, regardless of Wang Lishan’s inability to accept it, this had long become a foregone conclusion.

He lost, and he lost completely. The things he painstakingly managed for over a decade were ruined overnight by Xu Ke.

Wang Lishan looked at Xu Ke with a complex expression; he certainly didn’t expect to ultimately lose to a mere youngster.

For the proud Wang Lishan, this was quite a blow.

He couldn’t quite believe everything before him, nor could he fully accept this reality.

Watching Wang Lishan’s expression shift from previous complacency to current desolation, Xu Ke shook his head helplessly.

The fact that Wang Lishan ended up in this situation was ultimately his own doing.

Originally, the embezzled funds from his company could totally be overlooked.

But the problem was that he should never have coveted the position of CEO.

Once greed takes root, there is no turning back.

"Wang Lishan, things have reached this point, it’s ultimately your own fault. However, since you have been dedicated to the company for so many years, your shares in the company will all be confiscated. I don’t wish to do anything to you; resign voluntarily from the company and take care of yourself in the future."

Xu Ke didn’t actually dislike Wang Lishan; if he were in his position, he might have acted even more rashly.

But the world is like this, with the winner taking it all. Since he lost, he has to accept the consequences of defeat.

Everyone should consider the consequences of their actions before making each choice.

Once a choice is made, they must accept the risk of failure.

Wang Lishan’s actions cannot be said to be wrong, nor can they be deemed right.

The world is just this contradictory, and yet, it’s also fair.

If Wang Lishan had won this time, he would have laughed last, and Xu Group would ultimately have belonged to him.

And the Xu Family, too, would likely have crumbled under the weight of this loss.

Wang Lishan looked at Xu Ke incredulously; he never imagined this guy would actually let him go.

"Xu Ke, have you thought this through? You surely understand the principle of a tiger released back into the mountains," Wang Lishan said coldly, staring at Xu Ke.

Xu Ke no longer considered Wang Lishan as a competitor; from the moment he failed, it was destined that the two would no longer inhabit the same world.

"A gentleman never goes back on his word, and besides, I’m the CEO of Xu Group. I keep my word."

"You should go to the HR department and submit a resignation statement later. I will also announce to the public that you left the company due to health reasons."

Your shares, as discussed earlier, will be fully confiscated and allocated to my holdings.

Wang Lishan was heartbroken over this result, but it was also the best solution at the moment.

He held 20% of the company’s shares, and once this portion of the shares fell into Xu Ke’s hands, Xu Ke would have absolute control over Xu Group.

Initially, Wang Lishan dared to be so blatant because he had this 20% of the shares.

Old Xu’s shares alone were not sufficient to command the entire company; he couldn’t single-handedly control major operations.

But now, Wang Lishan’s 20% share conventionally belonged to Xu Ke.

At this moment, the Xu Group truly belonged to the Xu Family.

Regarding the remaining shares, Xu Ke was confident he could recover them without any effort.

Xu Ke didn’t take Zhang Qiang and Li Dong, the two clowns, seriously.

He had long since investigated their movements during this period.

These two, lacking ambition, had only taken over a few insignificant territories under Wang Lishan during this time.

Little did they know, Wang Lishan had already reclaimed most of their assets behind their backs.

But from today onwards, all the industries under Wang Lishan would belong entirely to Xu Ke.

And this was unilateral; it didn’t belong to the virtual Xu Group.

"Here’s an agreement; sign it. From now on, all the places and factories under you will belong to me."

With that, Xu Ke threw the prepared materials onto the table.

Wang Lishan had initially thought of leaving a way out for himself; those entertainment venues were his capital for a comeback.

But Xu Ke’s move effectively cut him off; even if he wished to rise again, he didn’t have the capital.

Looking at the transfer document in front of him, Wang Lishan suddenly found it ridiculously amusing.

Just minutes ago, it was he who had Xu Ke sign, but now, just minutes later, the roles had changed dramatically.

Wang Lishan shook his head in pain, recalling everything he had done over the years, and suddenly he felt a sense of disbelief.

This feeling left him deeply distressed; a decade’s preparation ruined overnight!

With trembling hands, Wang Lishan signed the transfer document. As he wrote, tears streamed down his face.

After signing, Wang Lishan left despondently.

Watching Wang Lishan’s departing figure, Xu Ke felt a surge of emotion.

Victory and defeat define kings and fails; this is the way of the world.

Despite everything, Wang Lishan is considered a hero; he managed to develop his business to this point, which is already a miracle.

Back when the Wang Family was on the verge of bankruptcy, he could single-handedly save it. This alone demonstrates his ability and vision.

Murong Hai had already realized by then that the matter with Wang Lishan was likely concluded, and he was somewhat confused about his next steps.

Xu Ke had previously tasked him with investigating company-related matters involving Wang Lishan and others, but now that the situation was resolved, Murong Hai didn’t know what else he could do.

"Xu Ke, the matter is settled. What can I do by your side now?"

Since following Xu Ke, Murong Hai gradually discovered that this young man was not as naive as he appeared.

The tactics he displayed and the determination he showed were certainly beyond what someone his age should possess.

Even Murong Hai, who had witnessed numerous grand scenes, felt that Xu Ke’s potential was limitless.

At the same time, Murong Hai began to doubt himself and his value next to Xu Ke.

Xu Ke had forgiven him and kept him by his side despite past grievances, which moved Murong Hai deeply.

He swore that as long as Xu Ke needed him, he would do anything without hesitation.

Even if it meant dying, Murong Hai wouldn’t bat an eye.

"Ah Hai, what are you talking about? I still have many tasks that need you to handle. Just because this matter is over, don’t think your job is easy. It’s about time to deal with Zhang Qiang and Li Dong, those little punks."
