Chapter 424 - 424 410 Acquisition (1)_1

Chapter 424: 410, Acquisition (1)_1 Chapter 424: 410, Acquisition (1)_1 Zeng Hang smirked, turning his gaze to Lu Ming, “Mr. Lu, what do you think?”

Lu Ming looked at Pan Yan and snapped in a low voice, “Shut up and stay put.”

At his words, Pan Yan’s face turned slightly unhappy, but noticing the menace in his eyes, she immediately fell silent.

At once, Yi Kai felt a soothing quietness.

“Zeng Hang, my wife bought radioactive jewellery from your company’s jewelry store. It’s an incontrovertible fact. What do you mean by what you’ve just said?” Lu Ming, keeping a straight face, asked assertively.

Zeng Hang chuckled, “Mr. Lu, let’s talk openly. I have something here that I think you will be very interested to see.”

As he finished speaking, Yi Kai brought over a file.

He walked up to Lu Ming and shoved the file onto his chest, “Mr. Lu, make sure to take a good look at this document.”

As the CEO of a company, being disrespected like this, Lu Ming almost exploded with pent-up anger.

With fire in his eyes, he glared at Yi Kai before picking up the file.

Noticing this, Pan Yan leaned in curiously.

As Lu Ming opened the file, his heart pounded harder with every page.

A flash of panic crossed his eyes, and a chill ran down his spine.

How is this possible? He thought he had been very discreet. How could they have found out?

Could someone have betrayed him?

Being the one closest to him, even the simple-minded Pan Yan noticed that something was wrong with her husband.

She usually spent her time shopping or playing cards and knew very little about the company’s matters. She could not make any sense of the documents.

“Honey, what’s wrong?”

She asked timidly, but received no answer from Lu Ming.

Suddenly realizing the seriousness of the situation, Lu Ming abruptly closed the file and glared at Yi Kai and his group, “You are trying to shift the blame onto me. I get it, you are afraid that your company’s reputation will decline, so you fabricated this document to bite back.”

Yi Kai dug into his ear, speaking in a mocking tone,”Is that all you have to say? Now it’s my turn.”

“You…”

Seeing Yi Kai and the others remain nonchalant, Lu Ming felt powerless, as if his words were falling on deaf ears.

Yi Kai stepped forward and suddenly grabbed his collar.

“Hey, what’s your problem? Why are you acting violently?”

Seeing her husband being manhandled, Pan Yan immediately became frantic.

Off to the side, Hen Lian quickly intervened, “Yi Kai, let’s talk this out.”

Yi Kai gave him a sidelong glance, “Relax, I won’t get my hands dirty.”

The arrogant tone and words made Lu Ming’s face turn green with anger.

Lu Ming, who was significantly shorter than Yi Kai, was lifted off his feet.

“Let go of me, is this how everyone at JK International behaves? If you don’t let go, I’m going to sue you.”

Yi Kai scoffed, freeing a hand to pat his face, “Suing us, that’s a bold claim, Lu Ming. The truth about that document should be pretty clear to you. Do you really take everyone for a fool like you?”

The words hit Lu Ming like a bolt, making him stiffen and forget to struggle.

“You…”

Yi Kai leaned closer to his ear, whispering, “Lu Ming, do you really think that you can do as you please just because you have Chu Yihen on your side? Let me tell you, even if Chu Yihen were to step in today, your Lu Group is doomed because you’ve upset my Boss. You won’t be able to bear the consequences.”

His voice was so low that neither Hen Lian nor Pan Yan could hear clearly.

The next second, Lu Ming’s face turned ghostly pale.

Yi Kai released his grip and disdainfully tossed him aside.

“Honey!”

Pan Yan supports him, her gaze full of anger as she glares at Yi Kai.

“Lu Ming, at this point, do you have anything else to say?” Zeng Hang, picking up the file that fell on the floor, raised his eyebrows and asked, looking at Lu Ming.

Lu Ming’s fists clenched and his previously confident expression vanished.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his eyes darting around aimlessly.

Usually eloquent, he was speechless now.

Finally, Shen Hao, who had been silent all this time, spoke up.

“Zeng Hang, don’t forget to send a lawyer’s letter to Mr. Lu, lest he thinks JK International is pushover.”

“I understand.” Zeng Hang responded.

The mention of a lawyer’s letter sent a chill down Lu Ming’s spine.

Before he had a chance to speak, a cold voice exploded in the air.

“Shen Hao, I want to hear the news of Lu Group being acquired within a week.”

The icy voice was heralding the downfall of the Lu Group.

“No, you can’t do this.”

Finally losing his composure, Lu Ming growled.

The Lu Group was his life’s work and he wouldn’t give it up without a fight.

Everything he did was to secure funding to save the Lu Group. If JK International were to acquire the Lu Group, it would mean his end.

He ran toward the man, locking eyes with him and said passionately.

“Boss Jingwu, you can’t do this. The Lu Group is my life’s work. I beg you to spare me this once. I was misguided. You are a generous person, please let me off. I will drop the lawsuit right away. Please, don’t take over my company.”

With these words, he knelt down with a thud.

Seeing this, there was nothing left for Hen Lian to be confused about.

Everything was a scheme orchestrated by Lu Ming himself. He just didn’t expect Quan Jingwu’s people to unmask it so quickly.

Pan Yan was shocked to see her husband kneel.

“Hmph!”

Quan Jingwu looked down at him, a stifled cold laughter emanating from his lips.

“Shen Hao!”

Shen Hao knew his Boss had lost his patience. He walked over to Hen Lian and whispered something into his ear.

Whatever he said, Hen Lian looked surprised before his gaze flitted back to Lu Ming and Pan Yan, complicated emotions flickering in his eyes.

“Officer Hen Lian, please take them to the police station for a thorough investigation.” Shen Hao patted his shoulder, smiling as he spoke.

Hen Lian nodded, “I understand.”

“Boss Jingwu, I beg you, let me off this once.” Lu Ming was begging pitifully, even his well-ironed suit was disheveled by now.

Footsteps approached, followed by Hen Lian’s voice.

“Chairman Lu, I would like you to accompany me to the police station.”

Hen Lian’s placed his hand on Lu Ming’s shoulder and removed a pair of handcuffs from his waist.

Lu Ming looked up to see the handcuffs gleaming coldly and his pupils dilated.

“No, I don’t want to.”

Lu Ming collapsed on the ground, retreating backward.

This time, however, Hen Lian wasn’t having any of it.

He grabbed Lu Ming’s arm with one hand and deftly cuffed him with the other.

With a click, the handcuffs locked in place.

Lu Ming’s face turned gloomy, his eyes staring blankly at the handcuffs on his wrist.
