Chapter 137: Collusion Between Internal And External Parties

Although the Si Family’s members were filled with anger, most of them did not dare to vent it directly to Si Huan. They were unwilling to give up their original plans, so they regrouped and continued to put on the so-called airs of elders to reason with Si Huan.

“Si Huan, we’re family after all. Your uncles won’t harm you. You’re still young, and the new energy project does indeed have prospects, However, no one has ever pioneered this area before. We’ll just be advancing cautiously, taking one step at a time. The Si Corporation’s energy and shipping company are our family’s pillars. If anything happens to them, our entire Si Family will be implicated by this project. When that happens, how are you going to explain to your grandfather and father in the netherworld?”

“That’s right, your grandfather and father handed the family business to a child like you who hadn’t graduated from high school, instead of trusting us, their family. You can’t bet their entire life’s work on a project that doesn’t have a clear future.”

“Si Huan, don’t be so willful and don’t be too selfish. The Si Family isn’t just your personal toy…”

Perhaps because they saw that Si Huan was obstinate from the start to the end, the Si Family’s members decided to be shameless and started to surround him to persuade him. Their reasons were dignified, but no matter how pleasant their words were, the hidden meaning behind their words only revealed the word “interest”.

Si Huan was unmoved and kept looking at them indifferently with a mocking gaze.

With Si Huan not responding, those people could no longer continue with their one-man show. After a moment, they stopped talking non-stop and wore expressions with a hint of fury.

After calming down again, Si Huan said slowly, “Are you done?”

He swept his gaze across the Si Family’s members and said, “I’ve always known that sooner or later, I’d fall out with you insatiably greedy people, but I didn’t expect this day to come so quickly.”

Everyone’s expressions turned grim. Some hot-tempered people, such as Si Lian, were so angry that their eyebrows were all raised. They glared at Si Huan as if they had a strong urge to kill him.

Si Huan’s expression was still indifferent, and his body posture was very relaxed. He leaned back on the chair and rested his chin on one hand as if the group of Si Family’s members who were making things difficult for him was just a group of annoying bugs that couldn’t cause any substantial harm.

“I understand the personalities you guys have. You are used to leaning against a towering tree and sucking other people’s blood, so you won’t have the boldness to push me away to swallow up the new energy project for yourself.”

He looked at these clown-like Si Family’s members scornfully. “So, someone must have mentioned this plan first. Who is this person? Third Granduncle, was it you?”

Si Li leaned on his walking stick and raised his head proudly. He felt that he deserved the evaluation of boldness. He nodded and said, “That’s right, it…”

However, Si Huan didn’t give Si Li a chance to finish his sentence. He didn’t have any intention of respecting the old man either. “It wasn’t you. You’re too old. Although you think you’re not inferior to my grandfather in terms of capabilities, that’s just because you think highly of yourself. I know you very well. You have ambitions but you’re indecisive. Even if you have your eyes on the new energy project, someone has to give you a push before you would be willing to take a step forward.”

Si Li’s fury was stuck in his chest and his face turned red. He coughed a few times before recovering.

Even though Si Huan had driven an old man to almost pass out from anger, he didn’t feel guilty at all. Instead, he smiled mockingly as if to say, ‘Look, you’ve indeed aged. You’re an old man on the verge of death.’

Si Lian patted his father’s back repeatedly. Although he was not a filial son, he could not tolerate Si Huan embarrassing his father time and time again.

He clenched his fists tightly and wanted to smash them on Si Huan’s mocking face. However, he had just taken a small step when he realized that Huo Tian’s gaze was locked on him.

Si Lian’s body stiffened. He recalled the scene of him being restrained by Huo Tian with one hand and unable to move. His anger instantly cooled down as if he had been poured with a bucket of ice water. He gritted his teeth and retreated to Si Li’s side.

Si Huan didn’t seem to notice the short exchange of glances between Huo Tian and Si Lian. He continued unhurriedly, “Uncles and old fogies granduncles, I know that none of you have this capability, so stop wasting my time. While I still have a little patience, tell me about the person who is backing you up. If I were to investigate this matter myself, I’m afraid you won’t be able to keep what little you have…”

His tone was calm, but no one dared to ignore the threat.

Finally, someone couldn’t take the pressure anymore. He said with a pale face, “Si Huan, no, CEO Si, I’m sorry. I didn’t want to go against you at all, but they forced me to… I’m sorry, I’ll tell you everything I know now…”

This was a slightly plump middle-aged man. Si Huan vaguely remembered that this was someone who didn’t like to stand out among the Si Family. Although he hadn’t done anything proper, he hadn’t taken any initiative to look for trouble.

The person’s head was covered in sweat. He wiped it off as he said, “It was CEO He from the Hein Corporation. He’s colluding with Third Granduncle…”
