Monster Escape Room Re-Employment Chapter 29
byI am who I am (2)
Jiang Lingyi stood up and was about to go downstairs when Lou Xian suddenly said: “Wait a minute.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Can you take me to the highest place in this mansion first? I want to spread out the formation so that it can cover every corner.”
…It’s getting more and more serious.
“When enough energy is accumulated, it will be recovered automatically. Don’t worry, most people won’t be able to see it.” Lou Xian added specifically to avoid worrying him.
“…Okay.”
The mansion has four floors, and there is a small rooftop in the shady direction, which is usually used to dry large laundry items such as bed sheets and curtains. After all, these are not washed every day and there are usually no people there.You can choose where to place it.
Jiang Lingyi continued to walk up the stairs and gently opened the door to the rooftop. At a glance, he saw a middle-aged woman in a dark red silk suit by the guardrail in the far corner talking on her mobile phone.
Although they hadn’t seen each other for seven years, Jiang Lingyi still recognized Lu Bing at a glance.
Although she couldn’t see her face clearly, her posture had not changed since she remembered it. She always stood so elegant and upright, full of a sense of oppression.
She didn’t seem to notice anyone coming up and continued talking on the phone.Jiang Lingyi didn’t want to turn around and leave, as if he was afraid of her.
Lou Xian suddenly said word by word: “‘Doctor Sun, I know the situation is very serious this time, but before I deal with the trouble, please save his life, but don’t let him regain consciousness yet…'”
Jiang Lingyi raised his eyebrows, leaned against the wall next to the door, and listened openly.
She really made a request to make things difficult for the doctor. She had heard that people would definitely be saved, and she had also heard of people being killed without showing a trace, but she had never heard of people being left half dead.
Of course Lu Bing was not so bored that he took pleasure in torturing Jiang Jiujie, but he still had the value of living.
Only when you are alive can you be someone else’s target. Once you die, the risks belonging to the chairman of the group will be passed on to her and Jiang Xinyue.Lu Bing must take advantage of this period to prepare sufficient means to ensure that the turbulence of the new generation will be resolved safely.
Of course Lou Xian didn’t understand the twists and turns, but he was a little confused: “Aren’t they husband and wife? Why do they want each other to stay in this world without being human or ghost?”
Jiang Lingyi said: “…the husband and wife are in a legal marriage relationship, which does not mean there is love between them.”
“That’s a harsh answer.”
Lu Bing only gave a brief commanding sentence before hanging up the phone. He turned around and saw Jiang Lingyi’s figure. His movements stopped for a moment, but he quickly realized that he could “hear” nothing at this distance, so he walked straight past him, opened the door and went downstairs, as if he hadn’t seen him at all.
Jiang Lingyi walked to the middle of the rooftop: “Is it okay here?”
“Yeah, no problem. Just a moment.”
Jiang Lingyi felt the temperature of the string on his arm rising slowly. He was still wearing glasses, so he couldn’t see the formation.
“Lou Xian… taking this opportunity, I want to ask you something.”
“What?”
“What… do you think of my relationship with the Jiang family? Do you think what I did… is right?” He looked at the sky, with a rare trace of confusion in his voice.
Lou Xian thought silently for a moment.
“…No, I don’t have any opinion.”
“You have to come up with the answer on your own. Whether you plan to insulate, forgive, or escape… I won’t judge.”
“The only thing I can do is to accompany you to the end of this forked road as you make one choice after another.”
His tenderness is so cold, and his indifference is so gentle.
Jiang Lingyi once again felt that she really fell in love with an inhuman alien monster.
“The deployment of the symbiotic formation is complete.” Lou Xian breathed out softly, “Now, nothing that happens here can be hidden from me.”
…
Jiang Lingyi pushed open the door of the reception room. As Lou Xian said, there were already more than ten people gathered inside. They were basically strangers, and Jiang Lingyi was not interested in remembering the faces of those people.
A tight, deliberately low-volume buzz filled the air.When Jiang Lingyi appeared, everyone’s eyes focused on him.
Jiang Xinyue was standing next to the sofa, talking in a low voice with a middle-aged man who looked like a lawyer.Seeing Jiang Lingyi come down, she raised her eyes and nodded to him.
Lu Bing was sitting on the single sofa on the other side. Looking closely, she was older than Jiang Lingyi remembered.
“Everyone is here, let’s get started.” Her voice was low, but she suppressed all the noise clearly, “This is my father’s personal lawyer, Mr. Chen.”
Lawyer Chen cleared his throat, opened the briefcase he carried with him, and took out a document.
“Everyone, the chairman made a detailed will when he was conscious. There is a special additional clause regarding the inheritance of the group’s shares and part of the real estate. The clause is clear: all direct blood relatives with legal inheritance rights, including legitimate and illegitimate children, must be present and sign a confirmation letter before the inheritance distribution plan can officially take effect. If someone is absent or refuses to sign, the relevant part of the estate will be transferred to a family trust and managed by a designated trustee until the terms are met or the trust term expires.”
A few eyes glanced at Jiang Lingyi vaguely, as if they were observing the prey’s flaws.
Originally, with Jiang Jiujie’s selfish personality, he would never make a will or hand over his belongings to others unless absolutely necessary. Forget it if it was given to Lu Bing and Jiang Xinyue. He looked down upon those wolf-like relatives at all and could not give them a penny.
The old man probably also expected that Jiang Lingyi would give up his share, so the relatives had to fight for the piece of meat he had lost.
Jiang Lingyi doesn’t care, they love to fight.
After signing the abandonment column, you can leave.
The twenty-five-year tragedy at the expense of Jiang Xin can finally come to an end.
He picked up the pen expressionlessly, and just as the tip of the pen was about to touch the paper——
“Wait a minute.” Jiang Xinyue said.
Lu Bing frowned, seeming a little displeased with her daughter’s extramarital affairs, but did not say anything to stop her.
She continued: “Before signing the confirmation letter, as the current agent of the family and the direct heir of the consortium, I think it is necessary to explain to you the specific content of Mr. Jiang Lingyi’s share in the will to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and subsequent disputes.”
Several relatives exchanged glances with each other.
Jiang Xinyue picked up another document from Lawyer Chen and read clearly and steadily: “According to the will of his father, Mr. Jiang Jiujie, Mr. Jiang Lingyi can obtain the non-group equity chattels in his name——”
She paused deliberately to whet everyone’s appetite, “…500,000 yuan in cash, and an apartment of about 60 square meters in Xicheng District. Other than that, she does not have any inheritance rights to any shares, options, or other real estate in the group.”
“Half a million?!”
“Just the same old shabby kid?”
“This…this is sending beggars away!”
Whispers of exclamation and dissatisfaction exploded instantly.It’s not that they sympathized with Jiang Lingyi so much that they suddenly complained about him.
Jiang Lingyi smiled knowingly, knowing that the old man would use him to suppress others.
A fat middle-aged man immediately jumped out and said indignantly: “Niece Xinyue, Lawyer Chen, this… I’m afraid this is inappropriate? After all, Ling Yi is also the biological flesh and blood of Brother Ninth! Just because of this, if word gets out, outsiders won’t say that our Jiang family is mean and unkind and bullies motherless children? This will damage the reputation of the group!”
“Yes!” A woman also spoke up, “Is the old man out of his mind because of his illness… I’m afraid this distribution cannot be justified legally. Ling Yi is a pitiful child. We, as elders, cannot let him suffer like this.”
Even Jiang Xinyue said with a smile: “Yes, Mom, how about we wait until father wakes up and then ask him?”
Lu Bing’s face darkened slightly. He didn’t know what her intention was. He subconsciously looked at Jiang Lingyi, wondering if he had said something to her. When he met Jiang Lingyi’s equally confused gaze, he spread his hands to show that he was completely unaware.
“Thank you for your consideration, but I don’t need it.” Jiang Lingyi said bluntly, preparing to sign again.
Then, Jiang Xinyue dropped a real bomb——
“As far as I know, Mr. Jiang Lingyi is currently the legal guardian of a minor, which is also the adoptive father in the legal sense.”
“Besides, you are now working at a subsidiary of the iF Group, right? You seem to be a middle-level manager. I heard that you have become very close to the Lian family recently.”
“For the sake of your children’s future, do you really not consider accepting these inheritances?”
This time, people could no longer suppress the discussion, and small exclamations echoed in the reception room.
Jiang Lingyi stared at Jiang Xinyue in disbelief. He really couldn’t figure out how someone could do such a thing to cause trouble for him.According to common sense, wouldn’t the fewer opponents who want to share the inheritance, the better??
However, this news has a different meaning in the hearts of Lu Bing and his relatives.
They didn’t know the specific situation. When they heard Jiang Xinyue’s description with such a spring and autumn style, they would naturally think, “An illegitimate child has an illegitimate adopted son and has joined a business rival. Maybe he will do something detrimental to Jiujiang Group.”
Among the numerous and complicated discussions and gossips were interspersed with Lou Xian’s complaints: “There are only a few of the bigger companies in the city. Wherever you go to find a job, they are owned by competitors, right?”
After the relatives digested the news, they immediately launched a second round of offensive.
“If the old man keeps this little, isn’t this pushing the child to a dead end?”
“Oh, this is not a matter of money. Didn’t you hear? He has a relationship with iF… What if he is like that vixen like his mother, and hooks up with the Lian family, and in turn punishes us…”
“Oh, let me tell you, it turns out that this is the reason why you want to sever ties with our family…”
“Jiang Lingyi!” Lu Bing finally couldn’t help it, his voice filled with uncontrollable anger, “What do you want!”
“Ask me, I still want to ask her!” Jiang Lingyi also glared at Jiang Xinyue, questioning silently with his vicious eyes.
Why don’t you let me go?
Why don’t you let me go?
Why do you have to take a share of the pie every time I get a precious treasure?
Obviously… you already have everything, right?!
