My father's inheritance is my mortal enemy.

What does Li Bo's decision to pass the equity inheritance to Zhihuai mean? It means that the Zhou family's century-old foundation has been handed over to an outsider!

This crucial vote was cast by Zhou Yanshao, the direct grandson of the Zhou family, who should have inherited the family fortune.

Now Li Bozhen has become the top leader of Zhihuai.

Absurd, ridiculous, laughable!

This is a disgrace to the Zhou family for a century! The most furious one is Zhou Qian. The old man has passed away, and now this ridiculous junior has come. The shares he holds are practically useless!

Zhou Yanshao smiled and said, "Uncle, you haven't left the manor for so many years, why did you suddenly come down the mountain today?"

Zhou Qian bit his cheek, his face cold. Before Uncle Zeng could announce the results, he leaned on his cane, his voice crisp and clear, and strode away. The door slammed shut, and the conference room fell silent.

Everyone present was surprised by Zhou Yanshao's decision.

Li Bo stole Zhou Yanshao's inheritance, but Zhou Yanshao is here to help and assist Li Bo?

This is really quite strange.

There were rumors that Li Bo and Zhou Huiyuan had an unusual relationship, but now Zhou Yanshao has inexplicably jumped out to support Li Bo. Is it because of his status as a "stepmother," or... did Zhou Yanshao inherit this "stepmother" role?

The hickeys on Li Bo's neck were very obvious and could not be hidden. Almost everyone present saw them from the moment he sat down in the office.

Now that Zhou Yanshao is openly protecting Li Bo, the way he looks at Li Bo makes the marks on Li Bo's body even more intriguing.

Li Bo was not unaware of the obvious marks on his body. He remained calm and composed, with a slight smile on his lips and gold-rimmed glasses, looking like a cunning old fox.

That old fox has a very good memory. He remembered every single person who stood up to greet Zhou Qian and every single one who voted against him.

Finally, he placed his hands on the table.

"I have a very strong sense of time, and I hope that all shareholders can attend on time in the future. Zhihuai is a large group; if the shareholders cannot set an example, how can I discipline my subordinates?"

"Li Bo is extremely grateful for everyone's cooperation." Li Bo glanced at his watch. "It's still early, there's morning tea downstairs, it's on me."

The meeting was supposed to start at 9:30, but it's 10:00 now, and they're inviting us to dim sum? This isn't dim sum; it's clearly a show of force.

Zhi Huai, this pack of wolves and tigers, would never show any fear in front of a young man like Li Bo. The morning tea downstairs is very famous. Li Bo asked Uncle Zeng to order enough tea, snacks and coffee, pack them up and send them up. Only then was today's shareholders' meeting considered to have come to an initial conclusion.

As the shareholders gradually left, Li Bo glanced at Zhou Yanshao, who was sitting with his legs crossed, and turned to Uncle Zeng, saying, "Take the young master back to his office."

Uncle Zeng looked at Zhou Yanshao, this great Buddha, with a smile.

Zhou Yanshao frowned, looked down at his injured, bandaged left hand, and remained seated in his chair, showing no intention of getting up, seemingly lost in thought.

Uncle Zeng called out softly, "Young Master Zhou."

Zhou Yanshao then slowly raised his head and looked at Li Bo.

Li Bo loosened his tie and collar, unbuttoning one button to reveal his fair skin and the reddish-purple hickeys. His tone became ambiguous as he said, "Go to my office and wait for me."

Zhou Yanshao's eyebrows relaxed slightly as he stood up. His long, slender legs were straight and long, and his posture was upright. He put his right hand into his pocket, slowly took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and walked out, as if a tail was wagging behind him.

As Uncle Xiang passed by Li Bo, Li Bo reached out to stop him.

"Uncle Xiang, please wait a moment." Li Bo said with a forced smile.

Uncle Xiang frowned as he looked at Li Bo and stopped walking.

After everyone in the meeting room had emptied out, the assistant tactfully stood guard at the door and closed it.

Uncle Xiang looked at Li Bo with disdain in his eyes.

Li Bo laughed and said, "Uncle Xiang, you have to give me an explanation for what you did today."

It has always been Uncle Xiang who has been urging Li Bo to do what he should do and not to betray Zhou Huiyuan's trust.

Now what? Uncle Xiang clearly knew that letting Li Bo take charge of Zhihuai was Zhou Huiyuan's dying wish, yet he abstained from voting at this crucial juncture. What does that mean?

Li Bo could understand the previous request for Wan Gong to return to the capital, but Xiang Shu's actions today have really affected the overall situation, and Li Bo needs an explanation.

Uncle Xiang cut to the chase: "Li Bo, I don't believe you."

"Is Uncle Xiang not satisfied with Li Cheng's explanation?"

Uncle Xiang chuckled: "I'm satisfied with Li Cheng's matter, but what about Yan Shao's injury..."

Li Bo interrupted angrily, "That was outside the plan!"

Uncle Xiang questioned, "How many more unforeseen accidents will happen in the future?"

Li Bo's temples were throbbing.

Uncle Xiang continued, "Yan Shao wasn't hurt this time, but what about next time? And the time after that? I've told you, don't let him do dangerous things with you. You and Yan Shao aren't on the same level. Don't forget your place! Li Bo, you're not even a bastard!"

Uncle Xiang angrily left.

Although Li Bo was young, he was quite skilled with words and had a sharp tongue. He was very experienced in dealing with wolves and tigers like Zhi Huai, but now he was frozen in place.

Uncle Xiang's words exploded in Li Bo's mind.

Li Bo and Yan Shao are not people of the same status; Li Bo's identity...

A heavy boulder weighing a thousand pounds crashed down on Li Bo, making it hard for him to breathe.

Li Bo had always known better than anyone that he and Zhou Yanshao were from different worlds, and he wasn't the type to cling to Zhou Yanshao relentlessly. Sometimes it wasn't that he couldn't understand Zhou Yanshao's emotions, or that he didn't want to comfort him; it was simply that he couldn't do that.

Li Bo believed he had acted coldly and decisively enough; he even went to Australia to avoid Zhou Yanshao.

But Zhou Yanshao kept chasing after him, stubbornly following him with all his heart.

Human hearts are made of flesh and blood; how could Li Bo remain unmoved?

He lacked affection more than anyone else, and cherished this relationship more than anyone else.

He had thought that the arrogant young master would break off all ties with him after being angered, but Zhou Yanshao did not do so. It seemed that no matter how much he and Zhou Yanshao argued, as long as Li Bo turned around, he could always see Zhou Yanshao with his "tail" drooping behind him, following closely behind.

Even if Zhou Yanshao is angry, he won't really ignore him. As long as Li Bo takes the initiative to find Zhou Yanshao, Zhou Yanshao can immediately "grab" the rope, hand it to him, and tell him not to lose it again.

If Li Bo gets lost, Zhou Yanshao will get angry for a while, then come to him and ask him to coax him; he can't refuse.

Li Bo really didn't know what to do with Zhou Yanshao.

He could only repeatedly talk about interests in front of Zhou Yanshao, wrapping himself up as an emotionless person, deceiving Zhou Yanshao and himself.

Li Bo is a heartless person who only cares about interests and knows how to exploit others.

This is how Li Bo brainwashed himself.

Uncle Xiang was right about one thing: this was an accident, but what about next time? And the time after that? If Zhou Yanshao stays in the capital, many unexpected things will happen.

He will get hurt, just like Wan Tongzhi...

Li Bo cannot allow Zhou Yanshao to get hurt.
