Upon hearing Lin Yaās out-of-the-box question, Xiaobei rubbed his nose, "Thatās not it. Although this trash has some health issues, he wonāt die anytime soon."
"Then why did you say he canāt continue being the Family Head?"
Seeing her somewhat disappointed expression, Xiaobei explained directly, "The reason I said that is because he spent sixty million this time! Do you think their family will easily let this slide?"
Originally confused, Lin Ya pondered upon Xiaobeiās question and her eyes lit up!
Quickly, she excitedly followed Xiaobeiās train of thought, "Indeed! For their family, sixty million is definitely not a small number, so surely when he returns, heāll have to face questioning. If he doesnāt handle it well, he really might lose his chance to continue being Family Head."
...
Before, when Lin Ya helped Cao Meng with a task, she deliberately investigated his familyās information for future reference.
His family is just a small one, although they have some businesses, their profits arenāt great, just earning several million annually.
So taking out sixty million at once really is enough to hurt the family deeply.
Seeing Lin Ya fully understood his point, Xiaobei chuckled softly and continued, "Exactly, whether he can continue being Family Head is already a problem, so naturally thereās no need to worry about any future retaliation from him."
"Then I really donāt need to worry now!"
Thinking it over carefully, she smiled gently, and soon she picked a cucumber and took a light bite.
"The taste is really good!"
After eating, she excitedly praised...
...
"Already ran away, huh!"
After Cao Meng swam to the shore, he saw the small boat they had left aside.
He knew those two people must have escaped by now.
"Run then! But even if you run to the ends of the earth, Iāll find a way to track you down and make you pay."
After saying this, he vigorously shook the water off his body.
Now not looking so bedraggled, he took out his phone, glanced at it, and instinctively pressed the power button.
"It can still turn on, what a pleasant surprise!"
Originally, it was just an instinctive action on his part.
But he quickly realized it worked...
"Since heaven hasnāt abandoned me, then itās my turn now. Everyone who has wronged me, Iāll take revenge!"
With that, he prepared to call his family to have them pick him up.
As he was searching for the number, the phone suddenly rang.
"Talk about being thirsty and someone offers you water!"
Seeing the call was from his family, he smiled broadly and squinted his eyes.
"Hello, itās me! Iām going to report my location now, hurry and come get me, I..."
Full of arrogance, he hadnāt even finished before he was cut off by a torrent of abuse coming from the receiver.
"Shut up! You need to tell me where the sixty million from our accounts went!"
"Third Elder?"
"You do realize Iām an elder right? Spending sixty million at once without informing me? I thought you believed I was dead!"
Hearing the sarcasm and criticism once more, Cao Mengās expression grew dark.
Quickly, he screamed directly, "What? Itās not even sixty billion, and yet an issue over spending such a small amount?"
"You want to spend sixty billion? How much do you think our family makes annually! Stop stalling and explain the purpose. If you have valid reasons, fine, but if not, then I need to have a talk with you."
The Third Elder was truly livid...
Earlier, he was drafting a new budget when suddenly he discovered a large sum was transferred out.
Initially, he thought he was seeing things, but after careful checks, he realized the money was indeed transferred, and it was done by the newly appointed Family Head, Cao Meng.
Upon realizing, he called directly.
Honestly, if it were sixty thousand or six hundred thousand, he wouldnāt have called, but sixty million is truly not a small figure, so he had to inquire.
"I have perfectly valid reasons, stop wasting time here and send a car to pick me up! Also, the two people who came with me earlier have betrayed the family, find them for me, I want them kneeling in front of me as soon as possible."
Impatiently finished speaking, he quietly awaited a response.
But there was none, it was as if the person on the other end had vanished.
"What? Where are you? Didnāt you hear what I said?"
Unable to get any response, Cao Meng quickly shouted in frustration...
"We will send a car, but itās to bring you back to explain everything! Iāll say it again, if you spent the money properly, I wonāt pursue it, but if not, then I definitely need to find out!"
"I..."
He wanted to say more, but then he heard the busy tone ābeep beepā.
He realized the person on the other end had hung up now...
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!"
He screamed wildly, he truly didnāt expect a mere elder to dare speak to him like this.
"No way, once I get through this, I need to properly discipline them, let them know Iām the real Family Head!"
After saying this, he turned to look at the Lake Heart Island still shrouded in white mist.
"Xiaobei, Lin Ya, you better wait for me, sooner or later Iāll teach you how to behave!"
He wanted to find people to deal with them now, but he knew he couldnāt do that, as he was facing a crisis himself.
He had to find a way to overcome this crisis, otherwise it would be really troublesome.
Cao Meng knew he is the kind of person who easily offends others.
Since becoming Family Head, he took this trait to the extreme.
Because now heās still Family Head, those people donāt dare speak out, but once he steps down, it will be really troublesome.
While thinking this, he heard the roar of an engine, turning his head, he saw a black SUV appearing.
"So quick!"
Confirming itās the people sent by the Third Elder, he quickly muttered.
After muttering, he walked towards the dark SUV with a grim expression.
"Family Head!"
Upon approaching, Cao Meng heard a gentle voice, turning his head, he saw Xiaobei had opened the window and was greeting him with the driver, a young man who leisurely wore sunglasses.
Seeing him just roll down the window without taking off his sunglasses, Cao Meng exploded, "How dare you have the audacity to sit and greet me? Get out, get off the car immediately!"
