The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife
Chapter 347 - 347 347 Seize the Opportunity to Retake

347: Chapter 347: Seize the Opportunity to Retake 347: Chapter 347: Seize the Opportunity to Retake Wu Ke’s face was ashen, now resembling Zhu Bajie looking into a mirror—not human inside or out.

The concrete facts of his attempted murder of Wu Liang and his plot against Wu Yu had led to universal desertion and betrayal.

“Thud.” At this moment, the doors to the conference room were thrown open, and several people in police uniforms walked in, looking around.

“May I know which one of you is Wu Ke?” One of the leading police officers loudly inquired.

“That’s me.”

“Mr.

Wu Ke, we are now arresting you on the charges of attempted murder, grievous bodily harm with intent, and usurpation of inheritance rights.” A Hong Kong police officer pulled out a pair of handcuffs from his waist and cuffed Wu Ke, then uttered the most classic of phrases:

You have the right to remain silent, but anything you say may be used against you in court.

“Wu Yu, you bastard, how dare you backstab me.” At this moment, Wu Ke could not maintain his usual gentlemanly demeanor, his deep and calculating composure gone, he was hauled away by the police like a shrewish woman.

This had all been orchestrated by Ye Shikai, who had specifically informed Deputy Commissioner of Police Guan Kai, providing that incriminatory evidence consisting of pictures and solid facts; Wu Ke’s arrest was inevitable.

After Wu Yu was taken away, the entire conference room fell into a silence.

No one could be so foolish to not realize that the police would be “reading the water meter” soon, and during the arrest, not one member of the Wu Family was willing to help; on the contrary, they all avoided him like the plague.

Wu Yu had learned the hard lesson of powerlessness long ago.

“Cough cough, since everything is now clear, surely nobody objects to me taking the position of Chairman.” Wu Yu tapped his fingers against the tabletop, emitting a low, rhythmic sound that set the shareholders’ hearts pounding.

Just now they had all been willing to abandon the Wu Family in favor of supporting Wu Ke.

This was now nothing short of a slap to their faces.

“I agree.

After all, I don’t have any interest in managing the Wu Group.

Given the current circumstances, there surely isn’t anyone more suitable than Mr.

Wu Yu for the Chairman position, right?” Ye Shikai chimed in.

In truth, Ye Shikai held more shares than Wu Yu, and by law, he should have been the Chairman, but he had no interest in managing Wu Group’s affairs, and, after all, it was Wu Yu’s family business.

Reaping profits from someone else’s misfortune wasn’t his style.

Naturally, those on the left side of the room agreed unanimously, their hate for Wu Ke bone-deep; to think he would resort to such length for power.

Fortunately, everything had come to light, and Wu Yu was the popular choice.

Those on the right, however, were as somber as if they had lost a family member, their master apprehended by the police, their resistance feeble and powerless.

“Wu Yu, oh no, Family Head Wu, we were all deceived by Wu Ke’s honeyed words.

This cannot be blamed on us.” After a long while, one of the Wu Family shareholders said with a guilty conscience.

Now that their master was gone, it was time to quickly switch allegiance, as face was of no concern to them.

“Oh, now I am really curious.

What were those honeyed words, huh?

Speak up and let me hear; see if they would sway me,” Wu Yu brushed the dust off his shoulder, speaking disdainfully.

“This…” The shareholder hesitated, at a loss for words.

The honeyed words were nothing but promises of bringing down Wu Yu, offering benefits in return.

How could he say such things now?

“Why stop talking?” Wu Yu scoffed, his tone filled with mockery.

“Family Head, we were blinded by greed.

Please show mercy for the sake of family ties,” seeing the situation, another shareholder implored through tears and snot, playing the emotional card.

Ye Shikai was disgusted by this display, almost feeling nauseous.

This person was at least fifty years old, of the same generation as Wu Liang, yet still playing the pity card.

Ye Shikai wondered if they couldn’t have a little self-respect.

But then again, just moments ago, these very people were determined to leave the Wu Family; now, they wanted back in, probably realizing the absurdity of their actions and fearing Wu Yu’s disapproval without a more pitiable performance.

“Many present are Wu Yu’s seniors, and by all means, I shouldn’t be so heartless.

But now…” Wu Yu deliberately paused, looking up to gauge people’s reactions.

Predictably, the shareholders’ eyes were fixed intently on Wu Yu, much like a child eyeing a beloved toy in a shop.

“Cough, the Wu Family has strict rules.

You left so rashly just now and now wish to return.

Isn’t that rather unseemly?” Wu Yu said coolly, causing everyone’s hearts to race.

“I think, you can offer your shares to me as an apology to our ancestors, and then rejoin the Wu Family.” Wu Yu’s proposition was shocking, but Ye Shikai had anticipated this.

In the past, Wu Yu’s status hindered him from addressing these individuals, but now he had an excellent opportunity.

With these fair-weather shareholders holding fifteen percent of the stock, stability was at risk.

Today they supported you, tomorrow they could betray you.

“This…” Everyone glanced at each other, clearly reluctant.

These shares were their livelihood; of course, they wouldn’t want to give them up easily.

But not doing so would make them homeless dogs, or worse, subjected to Wu Yu’s deliberate suppression, potentially unable to make a living in Hong Kong.

“How about that?

Perhaps you should all think it over.” Wu Yu spoke indifferently, pointing at the group.

“Oh yes, I am not just taking this for nothing.

I will buy every share at its market value.

But mind you, I want the complete fifteen percent.

If even one of you disagrees, I want none at all.”

Wu Yu’s approach was simple and brutal.

As a qualified Family Head, he certainly wouldn’t allow power to be too dispersed.

He understood centralization all too well, while Ye Shikai secretly gave a thumbs up.

Wu Yu was taking advantage of the situation to reclaim the remaining shares.

“Fine, I agree.”

“I agree as well.”

“Me too.”

…

After a torturous internal struggle, everyone ultimately agreed.

Wu Yu immediately had Lawyer Wang draft the stock transfer document, severing ties early to prevent further complications.

As the shareholders signed, they deflated like burst balls, leaning listlessly back in their chairs.

Though they had lost their shares, the resulting wealth meant they could indulge for a while.

But when that ran out, what would they have left…

With this, Wu Yu was laughing all the way to the bank, not only successfully reclaiming his position as the Sect Leader of the Wu Family but also ascending to the throne of Chairman of Wu Group.

From this point forward, Wu Ke would no longer be a match for him.
