Chapter 526 - 527: Once a King, Once a Minister
"For now, let’s keep your resignation low-key, so as not to cause unnecessary panic." Chu You said, maintaining his usual smile. He then stretched lazily before continuing.
"You’ve really caused me some trouble. Those people you bribed, let me tell you a secret, are in great danger." A mysterious smile appeared on his face.
Chu Wenting stared at Chu You, not understanding the meaning behind his words.
"The officials you’ve been bribing are mainly from the Eastern Wan Gang. Your actions have politically tagged my Tianchu Group!" Midway through his sentence, Chu You closed his eyes, as if he couldn’t bear to look at Chu Wenting any longer. After a brief pause, he continued.
"Do you know what the Eastern Wan Gang members are up to? You might know, but you failed to grasp the complex situation. I’ll tell you, they’re walking into a trap and won’t stand a chance against the opposing faction. The ones who involve themselves in this struggle for power will be uprooted!"
"How do you know so much? And ... how are you so certain?" Chu Wenting asked hoarsely. His eyes now radiated a certain energy, showing signs of disbelief.
"Could it be, could it be, I understand, I fully understand now." Chu Wenting stopped looking at Chu You, muttering to himself as if he had finally grasped why Chu You had so much evidence against him. In his eyes, Chu You must have been backed by another powerful force.
Chu You didn’t bother to correct him. It was best if Chu Wenting kept scaring himself with his assumptions.
"Enough talking here, Xiang Xing will assist you with your tasks. So, when do you plan to start?" Chu You checked his watch. It was almost four in the afternoon.
"I will start right away, right away." As soon as the topic turned to this, Chu Wenting fell back into his disoriented state.
Watching Chu Wenting and Xiang Xing leave, Chu You returned to his desk, picked up the receiver of his direct line, and asked the operator to get Wang Meimei to return his call. He didn’t have her mobile number.
