"I’ve thought it through. Since I’ve returned to your side, some things are inevitably intertwined, for we are husband and wife, after all. Even if you build a high wall between us, the day will eventually come when we will go to war. Unless you return the forty percent inheritance of Shi Lan, along with all your fortunes, and from then on leave to live abroad, they won’t stop until they’ve drained all your blood," Shi Lan said, reclining on the cushion, "In this world, besides me, who else can suppress the Shi Family members?"
"In that case, how is it different from returning to the Shi Family?"
"The difference is huge. In this life, I can play dumb and eat tigers, tricking people without owing them anything. After all, I have dirt on each of them in my hands."
Hearing this, Yan Shixiu’s expression grew much more serious as he asked Shi Lan, "Have you thought about thoroughly investigating the car accident in Thailand?"
"Troublesome," Shi Lan shook her head, appearing unconcerned, "If it really was the Shi Family’s doing, then this clean-up of the Shi Family will naturally reveal the truth."
"Yes," Shi Lan nodded nonchalantly, "When they’ve come knocking, why be polite? Uncle Yan, the Shi Family is not a place that reasons. Right now, I can still sit still because the Shi Family still has some wealth left to squander. When the time comes, any problem with the Shi Family will be your, Yan Shixiu’s, responsibility. Do you have the current data of the Shi Family? Let me have some understanding."
Yan Shixiu let Xun Yinghua in, who brought all the data about the Shi Family in front of Shi Lan.
It seemed that over the past nearly a year, President Yan had been secretly keeping an eye on the Shi Family’s situation.
"After you left, your mother took over the major authority of the Shi Family. The uncles in the Shi Family have hardly changed, but, they’ve started to place their own people into various enterprises of the Shi Family, coercing your mother both openly and secretly to transfer various powers."
"Currently, your three uncles control the enterprises of the Shi Family, and other fringe roles are filled by some distant relatives of the Shi Family. Severe infighting has already drained the vital energy of the Shi Family. Even the most profitable technology industry of the Shi Family is now being hindered by foreign enterprises, and falling apart is only a matter of time. It still looks shiny on the surface because of the foundation you laid earlier, but soon, the Shi Family will be found wanting."
"Progress," Shi Lan chuckled upon hearing this, "I thought that bunch of good-for-nothings could at most last half a year."
"They can hold on till now because of the corporate system and professional team you established earlier."
"With their abilities, still bothering you intermittently?" Shi Lan found it unbelievable.
Of course, the weaknesses in President Yan’s company were also very apparent, but Yan Shixiu had already planned for that.
"What do you plan to do?" Yan Shixiu asked Shi Lan, after all, jumping into the quagmire of the Shi Family would mean the previous storms and dangers could recur.
"Though I never cared about that woman, I did come out of her womb. Even if it’s to teach or torment, only I have that right, no one else. She comes to bother you simply because she is overwhelmed by the Shi Family and envious of your beautiful new wife. So..." Shi Lan drew a circle on Mrs. Shi’s face, "Let me see what it feels like to discipline my own mother."
President Yan was speechless and shook his head; this person’s lack of interest had begun again.
Although, President Yan was very aware that this person was probably just trying to amuse him.
However, he also knew that Shi Lan indeed had such a capacity unmatched by anyone else.
"As for you, President Yan, be ready to provide me with ten or twenty bodyguards at any time, letting me walk with a swagger, surrounded by my gang, feeling the wind as I stride."
