Chapter 559 Selecting a Successor

Ever since Shen Dongshan was stripped of all authority and expelled from the company, he harbored an intense hatred towards Wang Chao and Shen Bing. He dreamt of tearing Wang Chao to pieces.

While nursing his injuries, he racked his brain to think of ways to kill Wang Chao.

Now, seeing Shen Tianhuan so angry, he knew his opportunity had come. He immediately operated his electric wheelchair and approached Shen Tianhuan, ready to offer advice.

"What method?" Shen Tianhuan asked.

Shen Dongshan's eyes were sinister and cold as he spoke deliberately, "Using someone else's blade."

"Whose blade?"

"Sikong Yun!"

"Do you even know what you're saying?" Shen Tianhuan's face darkened.

Sikong Yun, the Great King who was about to ascend the Enthronement Platform and become the king of the Dragon Kingdom, commanding the three southern provinces—a divine figure high up in the clouds! They couldn't possibly get someone like him involved.

"Dad, you've been busy with company affairs and wasting time on Old Master Yan, so you're not aware of recent events," Shen Dongshan said calmly and confidently. "But I've been in leisure, and I'm well-informed about everything happening in Canton City."

"From what I know, Wang Chao had a conflict with Sikong Yun yesterday."

"Sikong Yun must hate Wang Chao as well. If we scheme carefully, we might be able to make Sikong Yun and Wang Chao fight to the death!"

"Wang Chao had a conflict with Sikong Yun? What happened?" Shen Tianhuan's expression turned grim.

"Dad, you don't know? Yesterday evening, before Wang Chao came to have dinner with you, he confronted Sikong Yun at the Silver Corps military base and caused a huge disturbance!" Shen Dongshan explained.

He then recounted everything that had happened the previous day.

It turned out that after being removed from his position, Shen Dongshan had harbored deep resentment and spent a considerable sum of money to organize a detective team to investigate and gather information on Wang Chao. As a result, he immediately received news about Wang Chao's activities at the War Department the previous afternoon.

Though the information wasn't detailed or comprehensive, consisting of vague photos and scenes, it was enough.

After listening, Shen Tianhuan sat on the sofa, his face dark and solemn.

"Dad, that scum Wang Chao stood up against Sikong Yun. Although I don't know how he managed to come back alive, this is our opportunity, an extremely rare chance!" Shen Dongshan hurriedly activated the electronic switch on his wheelchair and approached Shen Tianhuan. He said in a low voice, "Dad, seize the moment, opportunities like this won't come again."

When he learned about Wang Chao's confrontation with Sikong Yun, he was overjoyed and immediately started planning how to use this opportunity to harm Wang Chao. He had spent the entire day and night thinking of various plots, but he hadn't taken action without Old Master's consent, fearing his reproach.

Shen Tianhuan brewed a pot of tea for himself, his gaze as sharp as a knife, as he spoke in a cold voice, "Shen Dongshan, have you ever considered one thing? Why was Wang Chao able to leave the War Department after confronting Sikong Yun?"

"That's just luck. I heard that a prominent figure from the Dragon Team intervened and resolved the situation. Otherwise, how could Wang Chao, on his own, escape the suppression of Sikong Yun and the Kirin Army?" Shen Dongshan replied.

Sikong Yun, a Great King, and the Kirin Army— even if Wang Chao was incredibly powerful, he would never be able to escape their encirclement.

Shen Dongshan believed that even if the prominent figure intervened, Sikong Yun and the Kirin Army would still hold a grudge against Wang Chao. As long as they added fuel to the fire, they could ensure Sikong Yun and the Kirin Army would encircle and kill Wang Chao, completely avenging themselves.

In this way, he could exact revenge and satisfy his hatred.

"Have you lost your mind from thinking about revenge all day? How did you come up with such a self-defeating plan?" Shen Tianhuan scolded Shen Dongshan, his anger evident in his gaze. "Do you not realize the consequences of this flawed strategy, sacrificing a thousand to kill one enemy and losing eight hundred in the process?"

Shen Tianhuan was already furious, and hearing Shen Dongshan's words only fueled his anger. He wondered why his son was so useless, unable to even defeat Shen Bing.

His son's intelligence was nothing short of rubbish!

"Dad, listen to me. We just need to spread rumors about Wang Chao..." Shen Dongshan persisted.

He had been treated poorly by Wang Chao, and now, apart from wanting to kill him, he couldn't think of anything else.

"Shut up!" Shen Tianhuan stood up, glared at Shen Dongshan, and snapped, "Shen Dongshan, from today on, no, from this moment on, you are not allowed to mention this matter again!"

"Dad..."

"Shut up!"

Shen Tianhuan became furious and continued, "I know what scheme you're talking about. Yes, your scheme might kill Wang Chao, but do you know how damaging it will be? At this critical moment, when everyone is looking forward to watching Sikong Yun ascend as king, attracting global attention, your actions would drag down the entire Shen family!"

"Do you know how severe the consequences will be?"

"You, a worthless person filled with nothing but hatred, can you be reliable for once?"

"With your behavior, how can I entrust the vast family business of the Danfeng Group to you in the future?"

"Dad, wait, Dad, what did you just say?"

Initially, Shen Dongshan wanted to argue, but upon hearing Shen Tianhuan's last sentence, his eyes lit up with excitement as he eagerly looked at Shen Tianhuan.

Shen Tianhuan glared at Shen Dongshan, his anger unyielding, and said coldly, "You heard correctly. The Danfeng Group will belong to both of you. Currently, Shen Bing is merely working for us."

"She is a woman who will eventually marry. Until she gets married, you and your son must focus on recovering your health and bide your time!"

"However, don't celebrate too soon. If you remain the same useless person, neither you nor your son will ever take control of the Danfeng Group."

"Go back and focus on your studies!"

His voice was icy and filled with disdain, bearing a sense of unwavering determination.

"Alright, alright, I'll go back and focus on my studies now, bide my time, and make preparations," Shen Dongshan hastily replied.

Shen Dongshan, upon learning of Old Master's true thoughts, had a look of ecstatic joy. He quickly operated his electric wheelchair and left, his heart brimming with delight.

Shen Tianhuan stared at Shen Dongshan's retreating figure, shook his head, sighed deeply, and felt a profound sense of helplessness and despair. He worried about the fate of the Shen family if Shen Dongshan, with his temperament and abilities, were to take control of the company when Shen Bing eventually married.

Shen Tianhuan's expression grew solemn as he thought, "Shen Dongshan is unreliable. I need to choose another successor!"

With his rich experience, Shen Tianhuan understood the importance of leaving a backup plan and not placing all his eggs in one basket.

Over the years, while publicly standing by Shen Bing's side, he had also supported Shen Dongshan, helping him gain significant shares and power. He had been pleased to see Shen Dongshan's growing influence.

Even when Shen Dongshan attempted to force him out, Shen Tianhuan felt a sense of pride. He believed that Shen Dongshan, with his resolute and decisive actions, had developed the character of a great leader, someone who disregarded trivial matters and used any means necessary to achieve his goals.

Because of this, Shen Tianhuan had put in a great deal of effort to support Shen Dongshan, hoping that he would endure and rise again.

However, Shen Dongshan's recent behavior had disappointed him.

Shen Dongshan was nothing more than a waste!

"It would have been so good if it were you, but alas!" Shen Tianhuan gazed out the window with a nostalgic and melancholic expression, shaking his head.

Having witnessed the incompetence of Shen Dongshan and his son, he began to reminisce about Shen Bing's father. If Shen Bing's father were in charge of the company, he wouldn't have to worry at all.

Sighing, he checked the time and his face grew incredibly serious.

Yan Guoqiang had given him three days. Could he really find a solution within that time?

"I need to come up with a solution," Shen Tianhuan tapped the table, his gaze dark and lost in thought.

The next morning, Wang Chao woke up early, exercised, and then bought breakfast and groceries for his family.

By the time he returned with the groceries and breakfast, Li Han had already awakened.

Seeing Wang Chao return with the groceries, Li Han looked surprised and said, "You are up so early?"

"Just idle, helping you out. I can not always make you do the grocery shopping, right?" Wang Chao smiled.

"You are thoughtful. Put the things down; I'll handle it. It's Sunday now, so you do not have to go to work, right?" Li Han chuckled.

"No, I don't."

Wang Chao nodded with a smile, placed the bought breakfast on the dining table, and stored the groceries in the kitchen, preparing to leave.

"Wait a minute, since you are not going to work, after we finish breakfast, can you take Baoqi to school?" Li Han suddenly suggested.

"Sure," Wang Chao nodded.

"And bear in mind to slice the wild ginseng we have at home and give it to her to steep in water. The entrance exam is approaching, and she's under a lot of study pressure. She needs to strengthen her nutrition," Li Han instructed.

"No problem," Wang Chao continued to nod.

Only twenty-five days remained until Wang Baoqi's entrance exam. She had been living at school, studying diligently—her daily routine revolved around the dormitory, cafeteria, and classroom.

Li Han felt sorry for her daughter and had specifically asked Wang Anguo to bring Wang Baoqi back home the previous day. She prepared a delicious meal and supplements to replenish her daughter's health.

However, she also worried that it might affect Wang Baoqi's study progress, which led to her decision to send Wang Baoqi back to school the following day.

Wang Chao picked up a steamed bun, stuffed it into his mouth, went upstairs, and knocked on Wang Baoqi's bedroom door. "Baoqi, wake up and have breakfast."

Before he could finish speaking, the sound of studying abruptly stopped in the bedroom. Wang Baoqi's sweet voice came from inside, "Alright, coming."

Soon, Wang Baoqi opened the door, smiled at Wang Chao, and said, "Brother, you are up so early."

"It's not that I'm early. Your younger siblings are still sleeping, but you are already studying. I never had such diligence and dedication when I was in high school. I used to wake up at exactly 6:50 a.m. and jog to school," Wang Chao said.

It was only 6:30 a.m., and Wang Baoqi had already finished washing up and started studying.

Moreover, Wang Chao could tell from the pronunciation that she was studying English, and her pronunciation was quite accurate.

"I've gotten used to waking up early," Wang Baoqi replied.

"If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask me. Although I did not take the college entrance exam, high school questions won't stump me," Wang Chao said.

"Okay," Wang Baoqi sweetly smiled.
