Chapter 596: Chapter 386 Pretending to be a Snake

"Did you see the news?" Xu Bonian asked coldly.

"I did."

Xu Jingsong’s face was also quite ugly.

He hadn’t expected that under Gao Yuan’s leadership, Changqing Biological would cause such a stir.

To add insult to injury, Changqing Biological was originally a part of his Xu Group.

Oh! So it was languishing under him, Xu Jingsong, but thriving with Gao Yuan?

Mr. Xu, are you incompetent?

Without thinking, he could guess how he was being mocked within social circles at this very moment.

"We know the R&D department of Changqing Biological best... Have you found out how their technology came about?"

"That... Not yet, as you know, I have been too preoccupied with company matters recently..." Xu Jingsong said sheepishly.

Upon hearing this, Xu Bonian’s face turned even uglier, as he thumped his cane heavily.

"Harbouring a tiger invites calamity!"

He looked at Xu Jingsong with a face full of anger for not being competitive.

"Jingsong, I have always been satisfied with your abilities, but you have truly disappointed me lately!"

"I’m sorry, Dad, I will get rid of Gao Yuan and that problem as quickly as possible!"

"Get rid of her? What are you planning to do, hire an assassin like before?"

Xu Bonian, hearing this, was so angry that he slammed his cane again.

"Have you not considered that when she was alone and vulnerable, you couldn’t do anything to her, and now that her reputation has risen, she is always surrounded by bodyguards and has powerful support behind her.

Are you still thinking about these disgraceful schemes, believing that the whole world is so naive that no one will find out who is behind the assassin?

Even if you managed to succeed, did you ever consider the huge price the Xu family would have to pay to clean up this mess?

Did you ever think about what if the power behind her retaliates in the same way?

Last time I ended up in the hospital, am I expected to take a tour of the crematorium next?"

Xu Jingsong was drenched in a tirade of scolding, but he dared not talk back, only nodded in agreement, though his heart was filled with extreme frustration.

Xu Jingsong’s achievements and status today were due to his motto of achieving goals by any means necessary.

However, for some reason, this once unfailing strategy had recently hit wall after wall.

Trying to make trouble for an ordinary lawyer, only to have some random Joe mess it up.

Trying to ensnare Gao Yuan, only for the police to suddenly interfere.

Attempting to sabotage Changqing Biological, which instead turned the tables to their advantage.

When identifying the mastermind and preparing to be ruthless and unrecognizable, even the damn top professional assassins could mess up...

It’s not my, Xu Jingsong’s, zodiac year, so why am I so unlucky!

Seeing Xu Jingsong’s grudging acceptance, Xu Bonian was even more incensed.

"What? Do you think my disappointment is simply because you let Gao Yuan grow too powerful?

I am disappointed because to this point you still haven’t figured out whom you’ve actually lost to!"

"Um... Are you talking about Uncle?" Xu Jingsong pondered for a moment.

"Then you are indeed giving him too much credit! Do you still believe that Xu Bolin is the person behind Gao Yuan?"

"That..." Xu Jingsong opened his mouth, hesitating.

Yes, even if you consider Chang Chun Biological and the Qinling Mountains project, but to say that Xu Bolin had boosted Gao Yuan to global fame... It seemed too fantastical.

If he had that technology, Xu Bolin would definitely keep it within his inner circle and choose to have his only son take the glory!

It can’t possibly be that Gao Yuan is his illegitimate daughter, right?

"Hmph! You don’t even realize you’ve been used as a pawn!

Just a few rumors, and you’ve lost your composure, causing the current state of alienation from both friends and foes, internal worries and external threats!

If you don’t come to your senses, I truly will have to reconsider whether you are suitable to be the Xu family’s successor!"

Xu Jingsong, frightened, immediately admitted his fault.

"Yes! Father’s teachings are correct! Uncle certainly doesn’t have the power to pull something like this off. Gao Yuan’s continual luck implies there must be an expert behind her!"

"Who do you think it could be?"

"Well... Although Gao Yuan’s father has passed away, he had many disciples and former officials, perhaps it’s the network he left behind..."

"Hmm! Indeed, that’s a possibility. So you know what you should do now, right?"

"I’ll have someone investigate immediately and will surely find the person behind Gao Yuan as quickly as possible!

Don’t worry, I won’t make any rash moves before figuring out the opponent’s background!"

Xu Bonian looked at him and spoke pensively.

"Since the opponent can do such things, they are not ordinary. They might be a formidable enemy for the Xu family. Haven’t you thought about apologizing to Gao Yuan and putting the past behind you?"

Xu Jingsong stiffened.

What? Me, apologize to Gao Yuan?

Not to mention that I have already deeply offended Gao Yuan, even if I were willing to swallow my pride and beg for forgiveness, how would others see me?

"Wife foolishly discarded, seeks revenge after the divorce, and the ex-husband begs for forgiveness with tears and sobs..."

This kind of melodramatic soap opera plot... And I am the villain who gets his comeuppance?

This is an utter humiliation!

How would others judge Xu Jingsong?

A man forced to kneel and sing "Conquest" by a woman?

How could I ever hold my head high again!

"Sigh!"

Seeing Xu Jingsong’s expression, Xu Bonian guessed his thoughts and couldn’t help but sigh disconsolately.

Seeing this, Xu Jingsong quickly said,

"Dad! If others dare to disrespect us like this, and we constantly concede, how will others view the Xu family?
