Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 740: Chapter 740: National Demon Sprite (31)

Zhongli Luo lost a lot of blood, but fortunately, his life was not in danger.

Zhuang Ji stood guard by Zhongli Luo’s hospital bed, looking like he had lost weight.

Early in the morning, several shareholders from the company crowded into the hospital room.

These people were not there to visit Zhongli Luo.

But Zhuang Ji couldn’t stop them.

”It’s good to hear the young master isn’t in serious trouble, hearing about the young master’s hospitalization really gave us a shock,” they said.

”Young master, considering how you are now, you probably can’t look after the company’s affairs. Why not leave it to us? We will take good care of the company.”

Zhuang Ji’s face was ashen, ”The young master still needs to rest, please, shareholders, come back another day.”

”Ah, we can wait, but the company cannot,” came the blatant threat.

Zhuang Ji clenched his fists, ”Must you press the young master like this?”

”Are we pressuring him?”

”Hahaha, kid, we’re doing all this for the young master’s sake.” A group of shameless faces was displayed right in front of Zhongli Luo.

Zhongli Luo sat on the hospital bed, his face pale.

The people surging around him seemed like a group of demons ready to strike.

”Young master, you wouldn’t want your father’s hard work to be ruined, would you?”

”Young master...”

The mobile phones of everyone in the room began to ring one after another.

They picked up the calls and before uttering two words, the shareholders’ faces changed.

”What?”

”Hold on, we’ll be right back!”

The shareholders glanced at Zhongli Luo and left in a hurry, faces grim.

”Brother Ji...”

Zhuang Ji hugged Zhongli Luo’s shoulders, ”It’s okay.”

It wasn’t until an hour later that Zhuang Ji learned there had been a crisis at the company.

Someone had taken control of the company using the young master’s authorization documents. Within half a day, the chaos at the company had been settled and everything was back to normal.

-

The next day.

Miss Zheng placed the documents in front of Zhongli Luo, her message succinct, ”Monster Tower for the exchange.”

Zhuang Ji looked at her in amazement.

The company’s affairs...

”...When did the young master authorize you?” He spent all day with the young master and knew better than anyone what he’d done.

”Forged,” Miss Zheng said calmly, adding, ”It wasn’t difficult.”

”...”

The Monster Tower was already empty, keeping it was pointless.

Zhongli Luo could be liberated.

[...] What use would anyone have for an empty Monster Tower!!

The King’s Account was very tired.

Zhongli Luo handed the Monster Tower to Miss Zheng.

Miss Zheng then took out several more documents, ”A gift.”

Zhuang Ji opened the so-called ’gifts’ only after Miss Zheng had left with the Monster Tower. Moments later, he closed the documents.

”Brother Ji?”

Zhuang Ji took a deep breath and opened the documents again.

The words ”Stock Transfer Deed” jumped out at him.

The shares of several company shareholders had all been transferred to Zhongli Luo.

This was a gift?

Zhuang Ji couldn’t quite comprehend Miss Zheng, and even less the word ’gift’.

-

The Second Miss of the Li Family suddenly went missing, and the Li Family searched frantically for her, even offering a high reward, but there was no news.

Only Li Xiaoyu was happy.

”Li Xiaoyu, what are you laughing at?!” Mother Li entered and saw Li Xiaoyu’s smiling face, her anger erupting.

Mother Li pointed at Li Xiaoyu and questioned, ”Did you do something to your sister?”

Li Xiaoyu tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and scornfully curved her red lips, ”Mother, what could I possibly do to her?”

”You’ve always been jealous of your sister; if not you, then who? Where did you take her?!”

Li Xiaoyu: ”Where your precious daughter has gone, how should I know? I am not her lackey. Mother, I need to prepare for the vice-chairman election, so I won’t talk to you anymore.”

”Your sister has disappeared, and you still have the mood to run for vice-chairman!”

”Li Xiaoyu, halt!”

”Li Xiaoyu!!”

Li Xiaoyu, of course, was in the mood to participate in the election, not only was she in the mood, but she also had quite a few supporters.

When Li Xiaoyu caused such a scandal back then, everyone was curious about how she managed to pull in that many votes.

The vice-chair election had two rounds of voting.

The first round was open for all the demon hunters in the Alliance to vote.

The top five candidates with the most votes would enter the second round.

This time, the voting was among the core members of the Alliance.

Li Xiaoyu was now going to participate in the second round of voting.

”Where’s Li Yan?” Li Xiaoyu asked as she got into the car and noticed that the driver wasn’t Li Yan, frowning slightly.

”Miss, Li Yan has already gone ahead.” the driver replied.

Li Xiaoyu nodded, ”Then let’s go.”

After they had driven some distance, Li Xiaoyu felt increasingly uneasy, ”How come I’ve never seen you before?”

”Miss, I was previously with the company.” the driver replied with neither obsequiousness nor arrogance.

”...”

Li Xiaoyu pulled out her mobile phone to call Li Yan.

However, the phone unexpectedly had no signal.

To have no signal in the middle of the city center, if there weren’t any ghosts involved, Li Xiaoyu thought she must’ve been living all this time for nothing.

”Stop the car!”

”Miss, we are not there yet. And we can’t stop here.” the driver seemed not to notice Li Xiaoyu’s agitation.

”I told you to stop the car!”

The driver didn’t respond and continued to drive.

”Did you hear me, stop the car!!” Li Xiaoyu became frantic, leaning forward to try and stop the driver.

But before her hand could reach over, her fingertips stung sharply—there was an invisible barrier in front of her.

She was trapped inside this narrow car compartment.

-

The Alliance’s election congress was about to start, and Li Xiaoyu still hadn’t shown up. Li Yan called her phone anxiously, but it just wouldn’t go through.

If a candidate is late to the election congress, it’s deemed an automatic forfeiture.

Li Yan tried everything to stall for time, but in the end, the election congress began, and Li Xiaoyu automatically forfeited her chance.

The one who ended up elected was a demon hunter they had always underestimated.

After accepting congratulations, that demon hunter walked over to Li Yan, ”Go to the suburban area 306 to find your Family Head.”

Li Yan’s eyes sharpened, ”You’ve taken our Second Miss.”

The newly appointed vice-chair chuckled, ”You think too highly of me. Does your Second Miss not know who she has offended?”

The vice-chair was called away by someone.

Li Yan clenched his fists and hurried to find Li Xiaoyu.

Meanwhile, the vice-chair got away from everyone after exchanging pleasantries and headed to the back room.

In the resting room.

A blonde girl sat on the sofa, her long legs on the coffee table, her posture both domineering and stylish.

”Miss Chuzheng, I did everything you told me to,” the vice-chair approached with some trepidation, afraid of Chuzheng but also afraid that the people from the Alliance would discover a demon here.

Chuzheng nodded and pointed with her chin at the envelope bag on the table.

The vice-chair hesitated, stepped forward, and carefully picked it up, tearing open the envelope bag.

The envelope contained a great many things; the vice-chair began sweating profusely with fear. What... what are these?

The reason Li Xiaoyu had so many votes.

It was because she had dirt on quite a few people.

Under threat, those people had no choice but to vote for her.

The vice-chair trembled, ”What... what should I do?”

”Return things to their rightful owner.” The girl’s crisp voice echoed in the room, ”Li Xiaoyu threatened those people. What do you think they will do to Li Xiaoyu now that she has not been elected vice-chair and has also lost her hold over them?”

The vice-chair: ”...”

They would tear Li Xiaoyu apart.

Demons are truly frightening.

Coming up with such a vicious scheme.

But looking at the dirt on these people, the vice-chair felt... that humans were quite terrifying as well.
