Chapter 237, Side Story 1: The End
Extra Dungeon
A ray of morning light shone into the room.
Xu Zaixing slightly opened his eyes, and what came into view was Meng Youcheng's handsome face. Looking at the other party's sleeping appearance, Xu Zaixing couldn't help but smile slightly, raised a hand, and gently touched his face.
Today marks their second year together.
Xu Zaixing couldn't bear to disturb his sleep, after all, they had made love for a long time last night, and he must be very tired.
Xu Zaixing carefully sat up, picked up his phone, and turned off Do Not Disturb mode.
[Assistant: Master Xing, something terrible has happened!]
[Assistant: There's a board meeting at 9 AM this morning, Mr. Xing, hurry up and come!]
Xu Zaixing stared at his phone screen, stunned for a second, clearly not reacting. After a moment's thought, he was about to type a message, but then deleted it all. He carefully got out of bed...
I glanced back at Meng Youcheng, who was fast asleep...
He left a note and then hurriedly departed.
……
"What exactly happened?"
Xu Zaixing drove the car, asking questions calmly.
The person on the other end of the phone replied, "President... Lin Zhe... he swindled all of your sister's shares and collected many other shares. Now he's the largest shareholder, and he says he's going to oust you and make you the new chairman of the Xu Group!"
Lin Zhe...?
Oh...his sister's husband?
"What should we do, Master Xing? You've been so good to him, giving him so much power, and yet he treats you like this. I wonder how Miss is doing; she must have been bewitched by him!"
Xu Zaixing's face remained expressionless as he stepped on the gas and sped off, hanging up the phone.
……
"Sorry I'm late..."
Xu Zaixing calmly walked into the boardroom, which was full of people, arranged in two rows. Lin Zhe stood, his face beaming with that long-prepared smile...
Lin Zhe stepped forward and stopped him, "Master Xing..."
Xu Zaixing bypassed him and sat in the chairman's seat. "Just say what you need to say, no need to beat around the bush..."
Lin Zhe turned to look at him, his smile unrestrained. "I suppose you already know, right?"
Where's my sister?
Xu Zaixing asked the question very calmly.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to Xiaoya..."
Xu Zaixing crossed his legs and said, "Our Xu family has treated you so well, how can you do this to me?"
Lin Zhe's smile froze. "Good?! What's good about it?! You forced me to marry into your family, is this your idea of being good to me? Let me tell you, Xu Zaixing... you brought all this on yourself. If it weren't for you, things wouldn't have escalated to this point!"
Xu Zaixing looked at him calmly, "You clearly planned this all along, so why drag me down with you? Let me think, it must have been from the moment you joined this company that you were eyeing my position, right?"
"Yes, so what?"
Lin Zhe laughed and said, "I just want your position!"
Xu Zaixing smiled but didn't say anything.
Lin Zhe couldn't help but feel a little scared. "What are you laughing at?"
Xu Zaixing looked at him quietly. "It's nothing. Where's the share transfer agreement? Let me see it. If I remember correctly, my sister has 20% of the shares, I have 30%, and you have 2%, which adds up to 22%. Still less than me?"
"I won't trouble you with that..."
Lin Zhe smiled and produced the share transfer agreement. "I've collected some scattered shares, and... Chairman Lin transferred 7% of his shares to me! My current shareholding is 33%!"
Xu Zaixing remained unfazed, smiling as he accepted the contract. After glancing at it, his smile became even more unrestrained.
Lin Zhe's smug expression froze instantly. "What are you laughing at?"
"Do you know why my sister has so many shares? Because a long time ago, she was the vice chairman..."
Lin Zhe was stunned. "What do you mean?"
Xu Zaixing took out his phone. "Sis... you're a shareholder of the company, how can you not come to a company meeting?"
"Who said I didn't come?"
Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, the door suddenly opened, and Xu Zaiya walked in casually, carrying a designer handbag. "I just went to pick out an outfit..."
Lin Zhe looked at her, and couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Xu Zaiya ignored him, walked straight to Xu Zaixing's side, picked up the contract on the table, and said with a smile, "You lied to me, saying that as long as I signed this contract, you would love me for life. Did you really think I would believe your lies? I also lied to you, saying I would sign it. Actually, I switched the contract. You were too excited, so you didn't look at it carefully. This contract is not some kind of equity transfer agreement!"
Lin Zhe stared at her incredulously, "You...?!"
Xu Zaiya continued, "The money you used to buy individual shares was all embezzled public funds. I've found all the evidence. Don't expect me to share the burden for you. I also have evidence of your extramarital affair. You'll have to leave with nothing. I've already called the police, and they should be here soon..."
"Also, thank you so much for helping us acquire those shares!"
Lin Zhe stared at her in disbelief. "You...?!"
Xu Zaiya looked at him calmly, "At first, I just wanted to calmly experience love and enjoy the feeling, without getting involved in business disputes. If you had lived a good life with me, I would have been fine, but you wouldn't have listened. I'm not some stupid, love-struck fool, and I won't let you manipulate me. Since you're heartless, then don't blame me for being ruthless. I like to go all the way when I do things!"
Lin Zhe excitedly stepped forward, but the door suddenly opened, and the police rushed in...
……
Xu Zaixing slowly walked downstairs. His car had broken down, so he had to walk home.
After walking for more than half an hour, I passed by an adult products store.
I had already passed by, but I secretly went back, looked around to make sure no one had noticed, and then quietly went inside.
He looked around inside, picked up a few toys, glanced at them, and then put them back down...
[Xu Zaixing: Husband, which one do you like? I'll buy it and take it home, how about it? Do you want to play this game? We haven't done cosplay before, let's try it tonight.]
As I was leaving the store, my phone suddenly rang.
He answered the phone.
"Xu Zaixing... I've kidnapped Meng Youcheng. If you don't want me to kill him, you'd better come tonight at the location I sent you, alone. If I find out you've called the police, I'll kill him immediately!"
Xu Zaixing was about to speak when the other party hung up the phone!
Xu Zaixing stared at the black screen of his phone, paused for a second, thought for a moment, and then his lips involuntarily curled up slightly. Just as he was about to speak, the phone suddenly rang again.
He patiently opened the screen and took a look...
[Meng Youcheng: A certain hotel...]
Xu Zaixing's smile deepened.
……
He went up to the third floor of the hotel and gently knocked on the door...
Xu Zaixing hesitated before saying, "I'm here."
"Come in, the door isn't locked."
Xu Zaixing pushed open the door and entered. What came into view was a man dressed in black, wearing an indistinct mask, holding a toy gun, and sitting on a stool in front of him was an adorable teddy bear.
Xu Zaixing was about to speak when the man interrupted him, "Close the door, or I'll shoot him! You don't want to see Meng Youcheng die here, do you?"
Xu Zaixing turned around and closed the door immediately without hesitation.
"Hands up above your head, or I'll shoot him right now!"
Without a second thought, Xu Zaixing immediately raised his hands above his head and said timidly, "Lord robber, please don't kill him! My husband, I love him so much! How can I live if he dies?"
Seeing this, the man smiled. "It's simple, hand over 100 million, and I'll release him immediately!"
"But I didn't bring any money..."
Xu Zaixing awkwardly emptied all his pockets. "Look at me... my pockets are empty. I didn't bring anything with me. What should I do?"
"No, that won't work..."
Xu Zaixing shook his head, feeling wronged, and said, "This is something you can only do with your lover. I already have my husband, so I can't do this with you anymore. Besides, he's here. I really love him, and he'll be angry if he sees this!"
The man sneered, "You call yourself devoted? But I want you to do this, and I want you to do it with me in front of your married brother!"
Xu Zaixing shook his head frantically in fear, "No...!"
"If you don't agree, I'll shoot your married man right now!"
With that, the man grabbed a toy gun and shoved the teddy bear on the stool hard. "I'm asking you one more time, do you agree or not? Otherwise, I'm really going to kill him!"
Xu Zaixing stared at the man in front of him, swallowed hard, and finally began to take off his shirt. "Then...you have to promise me, if I really...do that with you, you absolutely have to let my married man go!"
……
"Does it hurt?"
Looking at the wound on Xu Zaixing's chest, Meng Youcheng said, "I'm sorry, I used too much force just now, and I lost my balance, so I hurt you again..."
Xu Zaixing smiled and shook his head. "It's okay, I know you didn't mean it..."
Meng Youcheng opened the first-aid kit and showed him the bandaged wound. "Why hasn't this scar healed?"
Just two years ago, Meng Youcheng was indeed kidnapped. His kidnapper was Xu Zaixing's cousin.
His cousin kidnapped Meng Youcheng in order to get more money. Xu Zaixing rushed over from the company in a panic. It was the first time Meng Youcheng had ever seen him so nervous...
To save Meng Youcheng, Xu Zaixing was stabbed in the chest and remained unconscious for two months.
It was because of this incident that Meng Youcheng fell completely in love with him.
Xu Zaixing's lips curled slightly as he gently touched Meng Youcheng's hand. "If we hadn't gone through this, I might never have won your heart. I should thank my cousin; without him, I would only be able to enjoy your body, but not feel your soul."
Meng Youcheng looked up at him. "Are you an idiot?"
"hey-hey……"
Xu Zaixing smiled. "If you think so, then it is, right?"
Meng Youcheng put down his medical kit, lay down on the sofa, looked up at the ceiling, and sighed in relief, "Sigh... In the blink of an eye, two years have passed..."
"yes……"
Xu Zaixing moved closer and gently touched his face. "Two years have passed in the blink of an eye. We haven't had a proper outing yet. Do you want to go out with me?"
Meng Youcheng glanced at him. "You're such a busy man, how could you possibly have time for me?"
Xu Zaixing smiled and touched his face. "I can go out next month. After the company wins this project, I can finally take a good rest. Let's go out together. Haven't we had a proper trip yet?"
"real?"
Xu Zaixing laughed and said, "When have I ever lied to you?"
……
At the appointed time, Xu Zaixing had already packed his luggage and was waiting for Meng Youcheng downstairs.
After waiting for a minute or two, Meng Youcheng finally came down.
Upon seeing him, Xu Zaixing immediately broke into a long-lost smile. "Husband, are you ready? Let's set sail together!"
Meng Youcheng thought for a moment, then said with difficulty, "I'm afraid this time... the two of us can't spend it alone together."
Xu Zaixing was stunned. "Huh?"
"Mo Chengyu... saw my post on WeChat Moments yesterday, and he said he and Gu Jingyun also want to go. You shouldn't mind, right?"
Xu Zaixing's smile froze, followed by a bitter laugh. "How could this be?"
"Really? You really don't mind?"
"Of course! Do you think I'm that kind of stingy person?!"
……
"Master Xing, you don't seem too happy?"
Gu Jingyun looked at Xu Zaixing sitting next to him...
Xu Zaixing was originally sitting with Meng Youcheng, but they suddenly switched seats, and now he is sitting with Gu Jingyun.
Xu Zaixing glanced at him impatiently. "How could I be happy? This is the first time my husband and I have come out today. Are you guys... are you out of your minds? Don't you have anywhere else to go? Do you have to come with us? Are you doing this on purpose?"
Gu Jingyun was stunned. "Didn't you just say you didn't mind?"
"I acted it!"
……
As soon as they got off the plane, they went to the hotel, put their luggage away, and then went to the beach.
It was already evening, the sun was about to set, and the sky was very beautiful. Meng Youcheng held Xu Zaixing's hand and strolled here.
Xu Zaixing glanced at him secretly. "We...will be together forever, right?"
Meng Youcheng smiled and said, "Of course."
