Chapter 167: Chapter 167 Big Crocodile Eats Small Crocodile (8)

Opposite to her, Kang Baojun dropped a major bombshell, asking her, "Is your younger sister by your side?"

"What’s up?" Xiao Shulan asked, perplexed. She thought her husband and Xiao Shuju rarely spoke, so why suddenly ask about Xiao Shuju?

Kang Baojun coldly laughed, "Your younger sister’s husband is quite the actor, really impressive. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. He’s using us as the pawns in front, while he waits to reap the benefits."

"What are you talking about?" Xiao Shulan exclaimed in surprise.

"What am I talking about? Your wonderful brother-in-law is waiting for your father to sell Mingyue, so he can buy it at a low price. He knew we were up to no good behind Mingyue. I must ask you, did you leak this information to your sister?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shulan finally understood. She turned around, her eyes fiercely fixing upon Xiao Shuju.

Xiao Shuju, stunned by her sudden intense gaze, asked innocently, "Elder sister, what’s wrong? Are you ill?"

Hmph! Xiao Shulan coldly looked at her, "I’m not ill. As for who might be ill, you’d better ask your husband quickly."

"What are you talking about, elder sister?" Xiao Shuju asked, clueless.

But it wasn’t long before, indeed, a sudden phone call came through.

After Xiao Shuju answered the phone, her eyes suddenly fixed on Xiao Shulan and said, "Elder sister, did you know my husband is ill?"

"Yes, I just found out. You should hurry and see your husband," Xiao Shulan said with a smile.

Xiao Shuju sighed, "How unfortunate, my husband is sick, and so is my brother-in-law."

A flicker crossed Xiao Shulan’s eyes.

Since her husband suddenly fell ill, Xiao Shuju had no choice but to rush back home.

Xiao Shulan looked up, then glanced upstairs. The butler came over and told her that Xiao Yebai had moved his bed and had already left.

He left quite promptly, did he know, or did he not know about this?

Xiao Shulan was momentarily unsure whether her wildly eccentric brother was genuinely foolish or just pretending.

Sitting in the Porsche leaving the Xiao Family’s home, Xiao Yebai instructed Zang Xiaolian driving, "Go to the hypermarket, we need to celebrate for your sister-in-law tonight, buy an old hen."

Zang Xiaolian was confused, why celebrate with an old hen? And what’s with Gu Nuan suddenly celebrating?

The news, subtly, had already spread among certain groups within Changda.

Tang Qingzhong could feel the change in how that group looked at Gu Nuan, making him rather nervous, so he called Gu Nuan to the pantry to ask what exactly was going on.

"Do you know what’s up with them?" Tang Qingzhong still found the coffee that day a bit odd.

What exactly did that group want to do?

At this stage, Gu Nuan was very aware that certain things had already been set in motion, otherwise, those people wouldn’t look at her that way. She thus revealed to Tang Qingzhong, "The chairman must have decided to weed them out completely."

"Weeded out what?"

"That group, whatever their motives, causing trouble behind Mingyue or coveting Mingyue as a juicy opportunity, all pulled out together."

Tang Qingzhong was startled by her words, "Isn’t the chairman planning to sell Mingyue?"

"How could that be possible?" Gu Nuan replied matter-of-factly, "From the planning stage, Mingyue has always been a profitable project. The only defect was the gangsters involved. However, gangsters are uneducated, meaning they are manipulated. Once the people orchestrating from behind are eliminated, the leaderless gangsters will have to comply."
