Chen Rushi fell silent when questioned. He knew that Lu Zhiyuan had a dual personality, but he couldn’t find any evidence, and he didn’t dare to gamble his fortune against Lu Zhiyuan’s words.

“Do you have an authoritative psychiatric report?” Lu Zhiyuan asked, “If 1 indeed have a dual personality, where are the medical records? Where is the diagnosis report? Chen Rushi, do you think… I would allow you to walk out of this door?”

Bronn stepped in to mediate, “Third Master is still recovering from a serious injury and shouldn’t get agitated. This is a misunderstanding, and Mr. Chen acted in the best interests of the Black Hawk.”

“Third Master, you insist that you don’t have a dual personality, and 1 indeed couldn’t produce an assessment report. But you’ve been in collusion with Pei Qiuying for nearly six years. You helped her rise to power within the Black Hawk, and the internal resources of the Black Hawk were mobilized along with Pei Qiuying. How do you explain that?” Chen Rushi presented an investigative report and tossed it onto Lu Zhiyuan’s hospital bed.

The Black Hawk and Jidao were arch-enemies, and their conflict had escalated over time. Colluding with each other was a grave offense.

When the Pei family lost their power, Pei Qiuying was still young and suffered for years in a foreign country. She encountered Lu Zhiyuan, whom she knew from her youth, and was protected by him. Together, they regained control of Jidao. The records of their clandestine dealings were crystal clear, and it was evident that Pei Qiuying had provided this information.

As the report circulated and reached Rong Li’s hands, he glanced at it briefly and then put it down. There wasn’t much to see; most of it was under his purview. It was a genuine investigative report.

Women could be ruthless when driven by love.

“Third Master, it’s shocking how many people you’ve sacrificed and how much wealth you’ve spent to help Pei Qiuying rise to power. The Black Hawk has never cooperated with Jidao; that’s our rule!”

“Yes, the successor. Anyone who breaks this rule must step down!”

“Third Master, you’ve committed a grave offense!”

“The last time the Country M bank lost that gold, it ultimately ended up in Pei Qiuying’s hands. She’s in charge of delivering it to the Country M bank, and all the benefits go to Jidao. In our financial battle, the Black Hawk suffered losses of over sixty billion. Ji Chi, wasn’t it you and Jiang Junlin who fought that financial battle?”

Lu Zhiyuan said coldly, “Li Jiang, bring me all the transaction records between me and Pei Qiuying!”

“Yes!” Li Jiang had a copy of the transaction records on his computer.

Chen Rushi and the others carefully reviewed the records. This data was even more authentic, and since they were insiders of the Black Hawk, they could verify it easily. Rong Li added, “Third Master’s cooperation with Pei Qiuying included initial investments in resources and finances to help her seize power. However, since Pei Qiuying took office, these three financial transactions have been long-term contracts spanning ten years. We not only recouped our initial investments, but over the course of a decade, we’ve made substantial profits. There’s nothing to criticize.”

“The issue is that he collaborated with Pei Qiuying, who is associated with Jidao!” Chen Rushi said firmly.

The bald man and several CEOs huddled together to examine the report. They understood strategic reports like this one very well. They nodded in satisfaction. In the world of business, profit was the only thing that mattered, even if it meant ignoring old grudges and rules. Only a constant stream of profit could keep an organization alive!

Refusing to abandon old grudges and rules because the profits aren’t large enough!

The bald man said, “Third Master’s investments in recent years haven’t been in vain. Even if he breaks ties with Pei Qiuying now, he’s still made a profit!” “Bruce!” Chen Rushi asked sharply, “Have you forgotten the Black Hawk’s rules?”

“Third Master isn’t betraying the Black Hawk and becoming a stepping stone for Jidao. What’s wrong with that?”

Rong Li whistled and gave a thumbs-up. “Bruce, you’ve got vision!”

“Don’t say it like that. The Black Hawk has its rules since it has thrived for so many years. As successors, we should abide by those rules. Interests can be sacrificed, but rules shouldn’t be forgotten,” a senior man said sternly. “Mr. Chen is right; you’ve indeed broken the rules.”

Another man added, “As the one in charge of the Black Hawk, you’ve been indulging in the racing scene for years, hiding it and not reporting it. You’re worth a fortune but you’re not acting responsibly. Your reckless behavior isn’t enough to manage the Black Hawk.”

Lu Zhiyuan calmly asked, “So, what do you want to do?”

“According to the tradition of the Black Hawk, if a leader dies unexpectedly or makes a serious mistake, the nine CEOs can choose a new successor. I nominate Mr. Chen,” the man said casually. “If it weren’t for Third Master’s sudden arrival back then, Mr. Chen should have been the leader.”

Of the nine people, three supported choosing Chen Rushi, including Chen Rushi himself.

Chen Rushi said, “Third Master can’t prove his dual personality. Although we believe in ‘innocent until proven guilty,’ we must be cautious in every step we take to reach where we are today. If there’s doubt, he shouldn’t continue to lead. The Chen family has served the Black Hawk diligently for three generations, and 1 have the capability to take over.”

Bronn and Bruce exchanged glances but remained silent. The remaining six people, including Li Jiang, were likely aligned with Third Master. Third Master had three votes, and the key was Bronn and Bruce.

Rong Li’s phone buzzed, and he glanced at it, chuckling, “Mr. Chen, if you want to succeed, do it openly and honestly. Accusing Third Master of having a dual personality is a bit childish. You’re an adult; don’t do such immature things.”

“This is a fact!” Chen Rushi retorted.

Lu Zhiyuan sneered, “You want to challenge me? Chen Rushi, you’re overestimating yourself.”

The tension in the room was palpable, and outside, Lu Zhiyuan’s security team stood in opposition to Chen Rushi’s. Chen Rushi said, “If I don’t walk out of this hospital today, the Chen family and you will be in a never-ending feud.” “You’re just a member of the Chen family, I don’t care about you!” Lu Zhiyuan said with simmering anger. “In the Black Hawk, those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me perish. If you don’t submit, there’s no need for you to stay!”

The people in the room felt their hearts pound. Finally, Third Master had revealed his true intentions.

“Lu Zhiyuan, you!” Chen Rushi was furious and stood up, looking at Lu Zhiyuan. “Let’s see who dares!”

Ji Chi swiftly drew a gun, aimed at Chen Rushi’s knee, and fired a shot with remarkable precision. The silenced pistol made only a faint sound. Chen Rushi let out a painful cry, falling to one knee, submitting in front of everyone.

Ji Chi, with an arrogant and cold expression, tilted his head and innocently blew away the smoke from the gun’s muzzle. “I dared!”

Except for Rong Li, everyone was taken aback. No one had expected Ji Chi, who had remained silent, to suddenly fire a shot. Moreover, Lu Zhiyuan hadn’t said a word; he simply gave the order to shoot.

“Ji Chi, you!” Everyone stood up, their eyes filled with anger. Outside, the security teams of both Chen Rushi and Lu Zhiyuan were on the verge of a standoff.

“Mr. Chen, don’t glare at me. You asked for it, so don’t blame anyone else,” Ji Chi’s elegant face had a touch of awkwardness. “I even dare to fire another shot. Do you want to try?”

Bruce and Bronn were stiff with shock. Their wariness of Lu Zhiyuan had deepened.

“Lu Zhiyuan, are you determined to sever ties with my Chen family?” Chen Rushi asked angrily. He dared to bring people to the hospital because he was certain that Lu Zhiyuan wouldn’t harm the Chen family.

“What if I am?”

“Are you insane?” Chen Rushi’s voice quivered with pain..
