Chapter 125: Chapter 125: Counter-Command an Army

On the way home, Gong Shaoyu sat in the back seat of the car, with a laptop on his lap, holding a document in his hand and reviewing it.

A piece of news popped up at the bottom right corner of the computer. Gong Shaoyu frowned slightly, instinctively wanting to close it. But his peripheral vision caught the news headline, and his hand paused with the mouse, opening the webpage almost subconsciously.

The news about Beichen Rui holding a press conference appeared before Gong Shaoyu’s eyes. The news conference was held at ten in the morning.

Calculating according to Z City’s time, it should now be around three in the afternoon, meaning it’s been about five or six hours.

He skimmed through the report swiftly, his brows furrowing deeper.

Perhaps everyone thought Beichen Rui abruptly decided to hold a press conference, but Gong Shaoyu saw through the ruse.

In his view, Beichen Rui’s press conference wasn’t a sudden inspiration.

Beichen Rui, as the president of the Beichen Group, couldn’t possibly be unaware that prematurely announcing this matter would bring a lot of unfavorable developments to the group.

Considering Beichen Rui’s enormous power in Z City, if it were said that Jingxi came after his marriage, no one would bat an eye.

However, since Jingxi suddenly appeared in the public eye, the Beichen Family’s enemies are numerous, and once Jingxi’s identity is exposed, it will undoubtedly cause unnecessary trouble.

The Beichen Family’s enemies will also target Jingxi, putting Jingxi in danger as a result.

And this is exactly what Beichen Rui did.

Gong Shaoyu also believed that Beichen Rui had the capability to protect Jingxi well.

If Gong Shaoyu guessed correctly, his motive for doing this was to draw out the child’s mother.

Beichen Rui was certain that Jingxi’s mother would stop at nothing to take the child once she knew the child was with the Beichen Family. He intended to turn the tables.

That was one of the reasons he held the press conference.

As long as Jingxi’s identity is revealed, he could very well be the future heir.

If Xinluo took Jingxi away, Beichen Rui could openly press charges; after all, taking away the Beichen Family’s Young Master is a significant matter, but Xinluo might very well find herself in a precarious position.

In other words, if Xinluo doesn’t take Jingxi, Beichen Rui, as the biological father, could still sue Ye Xinluo to reclaim custody of the child.

If Beichen Group gets involved by that time, Xinluo would surely suffer.

Gong Shaoyu turned his head to look out the car window, his gaze deep and thoughtful.

At first, he thought Beichen Rui wouldn’t act so quickly, yet as soon as he left, Beichen Rui had revealed Jingxi’s identity.

The situation was becoming increasingly tricky. Beichen Rui was indeed a cunning old fox in the business arena, playing his cards well. No matter the outcome, the only one benefiting would be him.

It truly was a miscalculation.

Gong Shaoyu thought to himself silently.

He didn’t seem to expect that his opponent would be such a shrewd old fox, having underestimated him this time.

What worried him most now was that Xinluo might impulsively rush to Beichen Rui, which would play right into his hands.

Now there were matters at the company, and he couldn’t leave.

Feeling frustrated, he tossed the laptop aside, reached into his pocket for his phone, opened the contact list, slid his fingers over the screen a few times, found Ye Xinluo’s number, and dialed.

The phone rang twice, then it was answered. Just as Gong Shaoyu prepared to speak, Lan Shan’s voice came from the other end.

"Brother Gong, Xinluo is asleep. Is there something you need to tell her?" Afraid of disturbing Ye Xinluo’s rest, Lan Shan took the phone out to the balcony.

"Shanshan."
