Chapter 367: Then Give Me My Grandson

Be that as it may, Old Sheng was not at all concerned when he heard the news of Sheng Xiao’s resignation.

The kid was playing the same old trick.

He did threaten him with abandoning Huang Yao before. And was this not the same thing?

What a pity. The old man was not falling for that now.

Therefore, while news of Sheng Xiao’s resignation from Huang Yao was spreading like wildfire, Old Sheng was simply unperturbed.

That was until Second Brother brought home Sheng Xiao’s resignation and stocks concession notice.

“You are the Deputy CEO of Huang Yao. You should be holding the fort when Eighth Brother is throwing a fit, or do I have to teach you that?” The old man replied.

Sixth Brother sneered at him as well. “Second Brother, you haven’t seen Eight Brother in action before but I did. He’s doing all this to get Grandpa to yield—he would return in a few days when he gets what he wants.”

Second Brother, however, was not as optimistic as those two.

He merely handed the old man Sheng Xiao’s resignation and stocks concession notice.

The old man stumbled two steps backward after reading it. “Did… Did he give you this?”

“Eighth Brother is not showing his face at all. He got his assistant to send all these over. Whether or not he was only throwing a fit before, Grandpa, it is obvious he is not joking around this time.”

The old man’s face fell entirely.

Sixth Brother snatched the papers to read it, and was left shocked as well. “Is Eighth Brother for real?”

“Grandfather, did you really not expect Eight Brother to really get angry after blowing things out of proportions, deciding on your own to call off the engagement with the Shen family? Doesn’t the whole family know by heart how frightening he is when he is angry? Has it really never crossed your mind that Eight Brother would really leave Huang Yao?”

Even so, the old man never thought of that, because Huang Yao had bestowed the Crown Prince matchless glory and status.

That was why he never thought that Sheng Xiao could give up on the Sheng family’s power and well.

In fact, he wouldn’t believe that Sheng Xiao would leave everything even now!

“Where is Eighth Brother now?” Old Sheng asked. “We’ve only called off the engagement yesterday, but he has already sent this stuff in. With Xiao Qin leaving as well, it’s obvious that he expected and accounted for everything.”

“Probably at the Shen’s residence,” Second Brother answered.

“I’ll look for him right now.”

“The Shen family wouldn’t just let anyone in now,” Second Brother reminded the old man. “Surely you are aware that the second uncle of the Shen family has been elected mayor of Jianchuan?”

The old man took a deep breath as he did all he could to repress his rage. “Then get me Eighth Brother…”

“If he wouldn’t even go to Huang Yao, he naturally wouldn’t want to see you. What’s important now is to hold Huang Yao together, and this time you might have to come personally, grandfather.”

“That Eighth Brother… Aren’t we just separating him from Mu Qiqi? Does he have to overreact like this?” Sixth Brother chimed in then.

Second Brother promptly glared at him at those words. “You really should be grateful to Eight Brother for the good life you have now. With him gone, you’ll soon know how drastically your life would change.”

Be that as it may, Sixth Brother was unconcerned. Huang Yao had stood for years, and would it collapse just because they don’t have Sheng Xiao?

Naturally, Second Brother didn’t bother himself with Sixth Brother, and instead followed Old Sheng to Huang Yao and calm the stockholders.

At first, Old Sheng was intending to keep Sheng Xiao’s resignation and stock concessions a secret. However, Sheng Xiao had already revealed everything down to the tiniest detail to various journalists, which was why there was no way the old man could withhold information of his departure from Huang Yao.

All at once, Huang Yao was left unhinged, whereas rumors boiled over outside the company.

In the end, the cause of the entire matter was the old man deciding on his own to call off the engagement with the Shen family. That was the only reason Sheng Xiao would react so extremely.

Still, while the reaction would seem quick and fierce, Sheng Xiao himself had planned the entire thing for some time.

Otherwise, he couldn’t have struck the old man where it really hurts.

“With the looks of things, the Crown Prince is really cutting all ties with the Sheng family.”

“He couldn’t protect his woman, so he might have found being the Crown Prince has no point, and simply up and left.”

“Didn’t I tell you that the head of the Sheng family had gone senile and blurry eyes? Calling off the engagement with the Shen family in such a critical period is already the dumbest thing to do, and why would he still underestimate the Crown Prince’s influence over Huang Yao?”

Indeed, everyone else could clearly see what the whole ordeal was about.

Sheng Xiao’s action was a clear challenge against the old man.

In the emergency meeting with the Huang Yao board of directors, Old Sheng had managed to keep the stockholders for the time being, and promised he would bring Sheng Xiao back.

Afterwards, he tried to look for Sheng Xiao, only to find that the Shen family had tightened their security when he reached their residence.

Recalling how he humiliated Old Shen yesterday, Old Sheng was reluctant to come crawling on his doorstep now. historical

But he had to find Sheng Xiao.

However, although the old man was never screened whenever he visited this same residence before, he was immediately stopped by the guards outside this time.

And when they saw that it was him, they promptly told him, “Apologies, Old Mister Sheng, but Mayor Shen has ordered that visits from any member of the Sheng family would be turned down. We hope you could be understanding for us poor footmen, turn around, and go home.”

“Even me?”

“You’re on top of the list!”

“Fine. Then give me my grandson.”

“I’m sorry, Old Mister Sheng. He has the freedom to come in and out of the residence and no one would bother him. His legs are his own, and we can’t do anything if he doesn’t want to come out.”

Fuming, Old Sheng wound up his window, but all he could do was return home.

He really never imagined that Sheng Xiao could be so determined.

“Find out where Mu Qiqi is right now. I want to see her, and Eighth Brother is not going to keep her locked up.”

In fact, Mu Qiqi was at her forensic lab, but Xu Che was also shadowing her.

Old Sheng waited a long time outside the building, but when Mu Qiqi finally came out and he barked at his henchmen to catch her, all of them had their front teeth punched out by Xu Che.

He stayed ahead of Mu Qiqi, bringing her to their car and speeding off even before Mu Qiqi could see who was waiting in that other car—right in front of the old man’s face.

That was Xu Che’s strength. Groomed amongst special forces, he would not have a problem fighting five people alone.

Meanwhile, Old Sheng had no choice but to suffer in silence, and returned home once again.

Everyone in the Sheng family came to ask him if he had met Sheng Xiao.

Amongst them, Second Brother took a careful look at the old man’s face and immediately knew the answer.

His grandfather had come back empty-handed.
