Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Gaining Something for Nothing

Old Sir Yan was undoubtedly very satisfied with Yan Sijue’s handling of the situation. This way was certainly better than directly claiming that the photos were Photoshopped, eliminating all worries.

This crisis management was beautifully executed by Yan Sijue.

The way he handled it meant he would rather let the perpetrator go than end the marriage alliance with the Mu Family, which naturally drew ridicule from Yan Yaoting and the others.

But Yan Sijue remained indifferent to this.

The attacks and mockeries came more fiercely than ever because Yan Sijue now posed a substantial threat to them.

Unfortunately, the industries Yan Sijue managed had no intersection with anyone else’s, so Yan Yaoting and the others couldn’t strike him directly in business and could only watch as Yan Sijue’s status in family meetings rose gradually.

The fearsome nature of this man was only now becoming directly apparent to them. In less than two months, he had rapidly seized control over critical areas in City S and its surrounding regions, with related businesses and partnerships advancing quickly. Everyone could foresee that before long, City S would become the domain of the Yan Family, or rather, the domain of Yan Sijue.

They felt a surge of fear, uniting in unprecedented cohesion, yet still unable to find a point of entry.

"...The share in the arms sector has already been reclaimed by more than half." Once again, in a family meeting, Yan Sijue reported the results to Old Sir Yan, "The current share is sufficient; any more might cause trouble."

Old Sir Yan nodded, clearly approving of his decision: "Sijue, you have done well."

"Is that so? I’m curious, Sijue, how did you manage to achieve this? Snatching food from the jaws of a tiger... isn’t an easy task..." Yan Yaohun suddenly challenged.

Yan Sijue raised an eyebrow, "Third Brother, the objective has been achieved, why bother investigating the process."

"We’re merely curious, as this isn’t an easy feat." Yan Yaohun tightened his lips, a hint of cruelty in his eyes, "Or did you exchange something else for these results?"

Though Yan Sijue’s actions in City S were quite covert, since Yan Yaoting and Yan Yaohun already knew he was heading there, it was impossible for them not to prepare. Now, with Old Jin and the others shifting towards the drug business, it’s no surprise that the news reached Yan Yaohun.

"What is Third Brother insinuating?" Yan Sijue smiled faintly, "I merely exchanged some useless things for something more valuable to us."

"Haha... that was Grandpa’s life’s work, and you call it useless?" Perhaps excited by finally catching Yan Sijue’s weakness, Yan Yaohun suppressed his excitement, "You really put on quite a show, a master at getting something for nothing!"

"Even if it was Grandpa’s life’s work, it was still useless." Yan Sijue said softly.

The entire meeting room suddenly fell silent.

No one expected Yan Sijue to admit it so outright. Yan Feiyu showed a look of shock in his eyes, knowing full well that the authority of Old Sir Yan in the family was unchallengeable, yet Yan Sijue dared to say right in front of Old Sir Yan that what he valued most was useless!

Has he gone mad?

Some were excitedly anticipating, while others were anxious and flustered.

"Grandfather, Sijue must be punished for behavior like this!" Yan Yaoting immediately spoke up, his face solemn.

But Old Sir Yan didn’t immediately flare up upon hearing this; instead, he gave Yan Yaoting a cold glance: "Sijue had consulted me about this."
