Chapter 588: Death sentence
"I can’t believe this." Xiehan shook his head when he finally figured out what was happening. "Actually, I can believe it. I just freaking can’t wrap my head around it." He slammed a file on his desk. Xingyu was on the other side, reclined on the seat and with Luna on his lap.
"What’s so unbelievable about it? Employees betray their bosses every time. It has happened more times than can be counted and this is why contracts should be as unreasonable as legally possible."
With the combined efforts of Xingyu, Luna and Xiehan, they had uncovered the culprit among the employees close enough to Xiehan’s office to know it inside and out. It turned out, his secretary had been offered a lump sum to sell the information to LX Corporation.
Xiehan was still frustrated. "That’s not the main point, okay? The main point is that my parents orchestrated this. That’s not even a day before they pulled that stunt they did at the hospital." He wanted to cut ties with them and it would never be enough to make up for the amount of distress they had caused him in just the last few days.
What did they think they could achieve by doing such a thing to their own company? Make him go back to his former house just so he would save the time difference to head to the company? Make him discuss company matters with them and by extension, have a heart to heart?
Neither of that was happening and now that he knew the truth, it was time to make an agreement with them. One that would probably hurt both sides emotionally but had to be done now before everything fell apart.
He wanted them to be out of his life completely—they would not even call him their son—and in exchange, he would make sure Feng Ji International remained at the top of its game.
He rolled his pen frantically. That would definitely solve many of his problems. But why did he keep having a nagging feeling that something was wrong?
Luna scrunched her face all of a sudden and looked like she was in pain. Then her expression calmed like nothing had happened.
"Are you okay, honey?" Xingyu was worried.
"Just the contractions. They happen all the time." She offered a smile but let alone convincing her husband, even she couldn’t convince herself of the lie she had just made up.
