Was Chapter 487 satisfying?
Although the news of Han Xi being taken away by the police was quickly suppressed by Han's public relations team, the heat had already spread, and it couldn't be resolved simply by suppressing it.
Those who are paying attention to this matter have already seen it, and it's inevitable that they'll overthink it.
Therefore, even before the shareholders' meeting ended, Han's stock had already begun to decline subtly.
However, after the shareholders' meeting of Han's Group concluded, news broke that Tang Chen, the general manager of X Group, had unexpectedly intervened within Han's Group and successfully secured the position of executive director. At that moment, Han's Group's stock miraculously began to rebound.
Gradually, there were even signs of an upward trend.
"Now that things are done, when do you plan to leave here?"
Police station.
The number of people in the reception room increased from two to three.
As soon as Tang Chen entered the room, he threw the voting ballots and equity transfer agreement to Han Xi and bent down to sit in the chair opposite him.
Jian Yunqi reached out and handed him an apple that Han Xi had peeled earlier, asking, "How does it feel to trample those fence-sitters and parasites of the Han family underfoot? Is it satisfying?"
Tang Chen glanced at him, took the apple, took a bite, and said with his left cheek puffed out, "This kind of thing only happens once. Next time, if you want to put on a big show, you're the one to go."
"What's wrong? I'm asking you to show off, and you don't want to?"
"You are whoever you are."
Hey, I...
Jian Yunqi gritted his teeth: "What's wrong with me!"
Tang Chen rolled his eyes at him and looked at Han Xi opposite him, saying, "Today we only managed to control the situation by catching them off guard. If you don't resolve this on your end, there's no guarantee that your father and your two uncles won't try anything funny again in a few days."
"I know."
"So what are your plans next?"
Han Xi frowned slightly, his eyelids drooping slightly, and said, "There's only a little over a month left until the wedding. We must resolve everything before the New Year. Keep an eye on the Han family business for now."
Meeting Han Xi's gaze, Tang Chen paused for a moment and then nodded: "Okay."
"So, you're planning to stay here indefinitely?!" Jian Yunqi asked.
Han Xi packed the documents, turned to look at him, and said, "Otherwise, if Chairman Han and my two uncles knew I wasn't here, would they still show their faces?"
"..."
Jian Yunqi raised an eyebrow, "So you're planning to..."

After leaving Hotel H, Fang Li first went back to Xing Li.
After explaining Han Xi's situation to Wen Yang, I held two large meetings with Zhou Yufan and Sun Jin, and was busy until after 7 p.m. before leaving the company.
After leaving the company, she did not return to the villa on the hillside.
Han Xi wasn't there, and Yang Miao had also returned to the old house; she didn't want to go back.
She returned to Guanlanting.
Guanlanting.
As soon as Fang Li went upstairs and unlocked the keypad, she was pulled inside by a hand reaching out from behind the door, instantly falling into a warm, firm chest that smelled of pine resin.
"you.....!"
"it's me."
A deep, husky voice entered my ear, and warm breath sprayed against my neck—familiar yet ambiguous.
Fang Li's long eyelashes trembled slightly. "I know."
The room was dark, and the darkness in the entryway was like a wet velvet cloth, enveloping the two of them completely.
The two stood behind the door, the light from the living room window not reaching them, and the surroundings were so dark that only a human silhouette could be barely made out.
Fang Li's back pressed against the cold door panel, her shock still lingering. The familiar scent of cedar filled her nostrils, the aftershave Han Xi usually used, now mixed with a faint smell of gunpowder, weaving an invisible net in the darkness.
"I wanted to ask, how did you end up here?"
Her voice was very low, and her fingertips unconsciously gripped the hem of his suit jacket.
Han Xi did not answer immediately.
His hand was still on her wrist, the warmth of his fingertips soothing her skin through her thin shirt, but the pressure wasn't as authoritative as usual; instead, it was slightly tense.
In the darkness, she could hear his deliberately soft breathing, slightly faster than usual, as if he had just finished a long run.
"The police station did something."
He finally spoke, his voice as deep as if it had been submerged in ice water, each word carrying a metallic coldness, "Fourth Uncle has been watching me for a long time. I need a situation where he's certain I can't escape."
Fang Li's heart sank.
This was the first time Fang Li had met Han Shuo, but it wasn't the first time she had heard of him.
I had heard long ago that he was the most ambitious person in the Han family.
These years, he has been entrenched in Mamba. He may seem to be just a person sent by the Han family to manage the mining industry, but in reality, it is no exaggeration to say that he is a local tyrant who owns three major mining areas.
In places like Mamba, the strong are respected.
The various armed forces are either fighting for territory or for wealth.
Han Shuo's ability to maintain such a large number of mines in a place like Mamba shows that his ambition and strength should not be underestimated.
Over the years, he has undoubtedly cultivated considerable influence in Mamba.
In addition, Han Xi had a falling out with Han Yi in Singapore some time ago, and Han Xi swallowed up a large sum of private property. One can imagine the resentment in Han Yi's heart.
These two have been in cahoots for years. Han Yi had just been defeated by Han Xi when Han Shuo returned to China.
He said he was going home for the New Year to spend time with his grandfather, but who knew that Han Shuo had only returned a handful of times since going to Mamba?
There must be a reason for my return this time!
At today's shareholders' meeting, Han Shuo spoke up for Han Ming several times and openly and secretly joined forces with several directors to make trouble for Fang Li, revealing his intention to force Han Xi to step down while Han Xi was away.
Fang Li initially thought Han Xi being trapped in the police station was just an accident, but she never expected it to be part of his scheme.
"You foresaw this day, so you secretly arranged for Tang Chen to acquire Han's scattered shares?"
Han Xi gave a low "hmm" and slightly turned his wrist, pulling her into the shadows.
The red glow streaming in through the window was completely blocked by his tall figure; the two were almost touching, and she could clearly feel the slight rise and fall of his chest.
"Your relationship with Tang Chen seems to be quite unusual."
Fang Li composed herself and began to sort through the information. "I heard that when you returned to China to take over the Han Group, it was because you brought in investment from the X Group for the Han Group. Tang Chen's X Group is located on the financial street of the United States. He also seems to be a student of Wharton. You two have known each other for a long time?"
"Yes."
"Shall I guess again?"
Han Xi's gaze was dark and unfathomable, locking the woman in his arms in the darkness.
Fang Li could feel his gaze. Her breath hitched slightly as she tentatively asked, "The person in charge of X Group seems to be Tang Chen, but the real master behind him is actually you, right?"
"..."
The man remained silent for a moment, followed by a low laugh tinged with a sigh.
"Nothing can be hidden from Ali."
Fang Li was surprised, "So, X Group is actually yours?"
