The gigolo kept by the matriarch turned out to be the heir to a wealthy family.

Chapter 187: Each one more insidious than the last.

"Su Yuchen, something terrible has happened!" Mo Peichen rushed into the ward.

The person in the hospital bed is reading a book, and the sunlight shines in, bathing him in a soft glow.

Su Yuchen slowly turned a page and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Panting heavily, Mo Peichen pulled up a chair and sat down on the edge of the bed, looking anxious.

"There are no fewer than fifty companies that have been acquired so far, and the chairmen and managers are all making a scene at the gates of Yonsei International and W International, crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide!"

"If I'm not mistaken, this was all your husband's doing!" Mo Peichen pounded the bed in anger.

Su Yuchen glanced at him, then silently looked away.

"In nature, there is natural selection, and in business, it's the same: survival of the fittest. Yun Yao was able to acquire them, that's her skill. They were inferior in ability, and their complaints were just humiliating." Su Yuchen said calmly.

Mo Peichen: "..."

"Brother, don't you understand the current situation?"

"If we follow that aunt's acquisition model, hundreds of companies in the capital will be acquired by W International. Wouldn't that monopolize the capital's financial sector? We know that W International was founded by Yun Yao, but others don't. They all think that W International is a subsidiary of Yanshi International, and all the blame is being directed at you!"

“If the situation worsens, there’s no guarantee the government won’t intervene!” Mo Peichen explained to Su Yuchen.

Su Yuchen naturally understood these principles, but he still did not intend to stop it.

"She followed the proper procedures, and no one can find any fault with her."

Mo Peichen was almost kneeling down before Su Yuchen. Seeing Su Yuchen's completely unconcerned expression, Mo Peichen took a deep breath and reassured himself that he must stay calm!

"That's true, but even ants can shake elephants. There are already dozens of companies involved. If they fall into the wrong hands, not only W International, but even the Su family will be greatly implicated!"

Su Yuchen turned a page of the book without even looking up, and said nonchalantly, "So what if I have to fight against the whole world? If she's willing, she can take my life."

Mo Peichen: "..."

"Mads! You are all crazy!"

Just as she was about to leave in a huff, she heard Su Yuchen's voice behind her.

"Hello, I need to call the police. Someone is causing trouble downstairs at W International and Yonsei International."

Mo Peichen, with his back to Su Yuchen, twitched at the corner of his mouth.

I shouldn't have come! What was the point of coming?

He pinched himself, forcing himself to calm down, and slowly turned around.

"Su Yuchen, once we call the police, we'll be trapped and unable to extricate ourselves!"

"Ok, I know."

"You know you should pay retribution?"

"Ah."

Mo Peichen nearly choked on his breath, pinched his philtrum and slammed the door shut.

First, Yun Yao cut off all the companies' escape routes, and then Su Yuchen wiped them all out in one fell swoop. It has to be said that the couple is more cunning than the other.

……

W International.

"We have no grudge against each other, why must you drive us to extermination? Give us justice!"

"They wear the skin of W International, but in reality they are the lackeys of Yonsei International!"

"Come out! Come out and give us an explanation!"

"Are all the people from W International dead? Come out! Come out!"

The people downstairs were making a huge fuss, but the people upstairs didn't take them seriously at all, treating them like clowns.

"Are they out of their minds? We used legitimate means. They were the ones who sold the company, and now they're the ones saying we've driven them to the brink! What exactly are they trying to do?" A female employee slammed her pen on the table and said indignantly.

Bai Li looked at the situation downstairs and couldn't help but snort.

"A bunch of scum, do you think they can fight against my ancestor? Right, Brother Du!" Bai Li retorted to Ni Du beside her, her chest heaving.

Ni Du shifted his gaze from her face to hers, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes. He then took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders.

"Winter in China is very cold, so make sure you wear more clothes!"

Bai Li pouted, but her heart was still warm. She said coquettishly, "I know!"

Fu Cheng, who was not far from them, got goosebumps all over and couldn't help but shiver.

"Stop disgusting me, you two. Let's go, time to get to work!" Fu Cheng tossed the binoculars in his hand into Ni Du's arms.

The three of them went downstairs and had just reached the lobby when they heard a series of urgent police sirens, which were getting closer and closer.

"Wait, things have changed. Let's see what happens first." The three of them hid behind a large pillar in the hall, peeking out cautiously.

"Big brother, we're acting like cowards by just sitting here. Why don't we go out?" Bai Li said, flicking his blond hair with some dissatisfaction.

Ni Du was ready to leave, but Fu Cheng stopped them.

"Stop! Look, the police aren't coming for us, they're coming for those guys!"

Following Fu Cheng's gaze, they indeed saw the police handcuffing the people making a ruckus at the entrance and pushing them into a car.

"Someone actually moved faster than us." Fu Cheng clicked his tongue lightly.

Yun Yao also saw the arrival of several police cars, her eyes flashing.

He took out his phone from his pocket and typed a message.

"It was you who called the police." Yun Yao was certain.

The other end replied quickly, and Yun Yao almost burst out laughing after just glancing at it.

Su Yuchen actually used a pink rabbit emoji, which was making "mmm" sounds while also winking at people.

[Has your account been hacked?]

Suddenly there was silence on the other end. Yun Yao shook her head and chuckled. Just as she was about to put her phone away, the phone rang loudly throughout the room.

Upon seeing the note, a hint of helplessness flashed across Yun Yao's eyes.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

The person on the other end paused for a moment, and then a deep, magnetic voice rang out.

"My account wasn't hacked."

Yun Yao: "..." Did you call just to explain this?

"I know, I was just kidding."

Su Yuchen paused for a moment.

Yun Yao could already imagine what Su Yuchen must be feeling right now—awkward and helpless.

"Su Yuchen, the rabbit is very cute."

Yun Yao indeed heard a soft exhalation coming from the other side.

"Yun Yao, when can I be discharged from the hospital?" Su Yuchen asked.

Yun Yao thought Su Yuchen would say that she was cute too, but she didn't expect him to ask this.

Indeed, it's already quite rare to get the detached CEO Su to use emojis, so we can't expect too much.

As for the question he asked...

"Not for now. My plan can only continue if you are in the hospital."

Su Yuchen didn't ask Yun Yao what her plan was, he just said "oh", his disappointment was very obvious.

Noticing his unusual mood, Yun Yao asked, "The hospital is a bit boring. If you really don't want to stay, we can make new plans."

"No, I just missed you."

After Su Yuchen finished speaking, both sides fell silent.

Yun Yao tightened her grip on her phone, her sharp and serious eyes softening with tenderness.

I'll go over tonight.

"Ok, I will wait for you."

After hanging up the phone, Su Yuchen leaned against the headboard, his aura softening.

He frowned as he heard the chattering at the door.

As soon as the door was opened, two nurses pushed a sweet-looking woman forward.

The woman looked shy, her eyes darting away from Su Yuchen, while her hands, resting on her lower abdomen, kept fidgeting.

"Mr. Su, the director asked me to ask if you feel unwell today?"

Su Yuchen looked at the woman in front of him, his eyes darkening slightly.
