Chapter 923 895: You Want Me to Kick Him When He's Down? Impossible

It seems that a peculiar murder mystery progressed from beginning to end with a low-key and non-shocking series of events, a process that did not fall within their jurisdiction, while for the relatives of those involved, it's a harsh and unpalatable reality, resulting in difficulty to calm sentiments, with a feeling of anger constrained, unable to be expressed openly.

"Third Uncle, is everything you're saying true? Why did Uncle end up like this? He's the one who got murdered, how could he be accused of hiring a hitman?" Wang Shijian was furious, but in front of Wang Zhanting, he tried his best to restrain himself. After all, as the current leader of the Wang Family, he couldn't be too impudent. Before Wang Zhanting, he always felt inferior, as it was Zhanting who had pulled him up from the mud to stand out among the intricate branches within the Wang Family, protecting them from the disdain of their relatives. Thus, he felt both gratitude and resentment, emotions hard to articulate.

"Now, someone wants our Wang Family destroyed! Your uncle's actions indeed make people worry, so the most urgent thing now is finding him a competent lawyer, hoping to win this lawsuit." Wang Zhanting sat in the Wang Group office; Wang Shijian was chosen by him, much easier to deal with than Fatty Wang previously. Sigh, choosing people requires picking those who can be controlled; those who get arrogant with minimal success eventually fall.

"Naturally, but..." Wang Shijian stole a glance at Wang Zhanting, noticing that after a few days, Third Uncle's temples had greyed significantly. "Third Uncle, you don't need to worry about these matters; I will do my utmost to support Uncle, there will still be those who show us respect."

"Hmph, stop with the high-sounding words, young man; do you think I don't know what you're calculating? You're wishing for your uncle to die soon, aren't you?" Wang Zhanting suddenly admonished sternly, leaving others nearby speechless, not knowing how to respond. "Now that you're the Wang Family's helmsman, despite whatever grievances you have with your uncle's family, you must set them aside and unite against external threats, understand?"

"Since Third Uncle knows, I won't bother pretending anymore. Yes, I, Wang Shijian, hate Uncle and his wicked son. How did they treat our family, my parents, and sisters back then? Those scenes linger in my mind to this day. You ask me to unite against outsiders; I find it difficult to comply." Wang Shijian's gritted teeth left Wang Zhanting a bit confused. It was precisely Shijian's hatred for Wang Zhantian's family that Zhanting fostered for years as a bulwark, hoping someday Shijian would become a pawn in his hand. In fact, he achieved this; the Wang Family, although not as prestigious as during Fatty Wang's time, now steadily progresses. However, it seems not everything is as it appears.

"Is that so?" Wang Zhanting crossed one leg over the other, hands resting on the leather chair and sofa, authoritatively scrutinizing the person standing before him. "Am I nurturing a tiger to bring trouble? If you can be this way toward your uncle, are you planning to kick me out of the Wang Family one day too?"

"Third Uncle, your words leave me without a defense."

"Do you still need a defense? What you're doing now is a lesson I must heed."

"Ah!" Wang Shijian sighed heavily, moving around the coffee table to sit beside Wang Zhanting. "Third Uncle, listen to my suggestion before you get angry; it's for your benefit, for the Wang Family's benefit."

Wang Zhanting silently glared as Wang Shijian continued. "Hasn't Third Uncle noticed yet?"

"What?" Wang Zhanting observed Wang Shijian's mysterious expression, though lacking much curiosity, as this person always liked to feign intrigue, just a hollow show in his eyes, almost a clown.

"I know Third Uncle always looks down on me, not having Fatty Wang's capabilities. However, I understand respecting elders better than he did, which is why I'm still steady in position." Wang Shijian indeed looked different than before, showing a darker side that surpassed Fatty Wang's responsibility many times over. "Recently, Third Uncle has been absorbed with Uncle's affairs, neglecting the Wang Family's real business. In fact, others have begun to act against us; the Wang Family's stock market has consistently fallen due to Uncle's troubles, many partners are starting to withdraw, and to continue support requires more capital injection. I know I'm not a good leader, lacking qualifications, but I don't want the Wang Family's enterprise ruined in my hands."

"You've said so much; what exactly are you trying to prove?"

"Has Third Uncle considered that Uncle has no successor, and if Uncle passes away, you, as his heir, wouldn't..."

With a crisp slap, Wang Shijian rubbed his struck face, smiling instead of anger. "Third Uncle strikes well!"

"What treasonous talk! Your Third Uncle doesn't deserve to die; don't let me hear such words again."

"Does Third Uncle really want to pay for Uncle's crimes? I know a few people in the city council, and I'm aware of your current situation. Hua Muyun isn't someone easy to provoke; he has the Xiao Family backing him. If Uncle goes in this time, he shouldn't expect to come out. Can you assure he won't drag you down? Fatty Wang's death has been his continued resentment; he bears a grudge over your then lack of aid. Aren't you going to uproot this poisonous thorn, only acting after being bitten?"

Wang Shijian's words were straightforward, causing Wang Zhanting a moment of refuge sentiment. Doing such would attract much criticism, though. "Let me ponder this matter, don't act rashly; watching over the family estate is your duty. If problems arise, you won't be able to carry them. I'll find a way regarding finances."

"Shijian understands." Understanding the lesson of restraint, Wang Shijian knew changing Wang Zhanting wasn't an overnight task; this person wouldn't give in till the last moment without solid action. "I hope Third Uncle won't mind my offense earlier; I speak frankly for the Wang Family's future."

"Do you know who's manipulating the stock market now? How much capital is needed to buy back shares sold outside?"

"Approximately thirty percent is held by a trading company called 'Dingrong,' and the remaining fifteen percent is owned by retail investors. When the market opens tomorrow, I expect another bottom fall. Without a decision on Uncle's case, if Third Uncle doesn't take charge, this impact may continue without quick recovery," Wang Shijian opened the recent week's stock index growth chart, showing Wang Zhanting a field of green indicating crisis.
