Chapter 280 Who said there is no one in charge?
A lot of things happened in Jiumen during the year Wuxie went to the desert.
The place he went to was Gutongjing, a place that was strictly prohibited by the Nine Gates.
Now that he has broken it, the remaining few of the Nine Gates have all started to have evil intentions.
On the one hand, they were extremely curious about the place and tried to find out more about it. On the other hand, they pretended that Wuxie was the first to break the rules and wanted to join forces to bring him back.
After all, everyone heard that Li Yuchen was surrounded and killed on the train.
This seemed to be an opportunity for people with different thoughts to gather together.
At the funeral, everyone came not to express sincere condolences but to watch the show.
There is also a large group of people who have ideas about the company under Jie Yuchen.
No one believed that Jie Yuchen was really dead, but that didn't stop them from wanting to gain benefits from it.
There are only a few people in charge of the Nine Gates, and they are divided into two factions who are fighting for the top spot.
Among them, the Qi family and the Li family were the loudest.
The Huo family seems to be trying to mediate, but in fact they are sandwiched in the middle and their purpose is also to fight for power.
It is worth mentioning that when Wuxie came up with this plan, Huo Xiuxiu took the initiative to give up the fight for power in the Huo family, giving others the illusion that she had withdrawn from the Nine Gates and went abroad.
So now the one who has the final say in the Huo family is Huo Youxue, not her.
They were chatting behind people's backs, but when the memorial service began, even Zhang Rishan and Mr. He showed up, but the so-called Teacher Jie Yuchen, Qin Yuchen, never showed up.
The bosses couldn't help but sigh, but it also made it easier for them to rob things openly.
The first person to speak was Boss Qi. He called Mr. He and began to make his plans.
The Chen family naturally would not give up, and they refuted what Boss Qi said with just a few words.
Huo Youxue was still trying to persuade them to reconcile, but the implication of his words was very clear. Since they had the same goal, he would definitely not let the whole family eat.
Mr. He was caught in the middle of an argument between several people.
He didn't think what these people said was wrong. On the contrary, he would nod whenever someone said something, sometimes saying that this one made sense, and sometimes thinking that another one was also right.
After arguing for a while, when Wu Erbai wanted to interrupt, Huo Youxue directly shut him up by using what Wuxie had done.
This seemed to be a breakthrough. With just a few words, Huo Youxue put Wuxie in an unforgivable position and threatened that after the matter of Jie Yuchen was resolved, he would set out another day to capture Wuxie.
They also said that if he changed his ways and reformed his ways, they wouldn't make any excessive demands.
Mr. He seized this opportunity to ask:
"You mean, as long as it's a business that involves your family, you're willing to let Wu Xie go?"
Boss Chen smiled and nodded. Although he agreed, he still needed to see how Mr. He would allocate it.
Mr. He understood, but seemed a little hesitant.
Boss Chen gave his assurance again, saying that as long as the distribution was done properly, they would definitely not do anything to Wuxie.
"Okay!" Old He sighed. After asking Yin Nanfeng for his opinion, he finally showed some intention of giving in.
He cleared his throat and began to announce the results of the discussion:
"In that case, then as everyone has agreed, the Huo and Chen families will temporarily take charge..."
"Who said there's no one in charge?"
Before Mr. He could finish his words, a voice from the door interrupted him forcefully.
The expressions of the several bosses all changed, and they all turned around to look at the person who came.
Huo Xiuxiu stood at the door, looking at everyone with a smile on her face.
There were two people standing next to her, one was Fatty Wang, known to everyone, and the other was a man with a crew cut and wearing a blue robe.
Huo Xiuxiu walked to Jie Yuchen's tablet in the face of everyone's gaze, lit three incense sticks and inserted them into the incense basin.
When Mr. He saw the person coming, he smiled at Zhang Rishan and Wu Erbai, and left the seat to Huo Xiuxiu.
Huo Youxue was the first to react, gritting her teeth and asking, "Huo Xiuxiu, didn't you quit the Nine Gates Association a long time ago? Why are you joining in the fun now?"
Huo Xiuxiu bowed to the tablet, turned back to look at Huo Youxue, and said with a smile:
"Although I'm no longer in the Huo family, I'm still not a member of the Nine Gates Association. I don't think you have the qualifications to question me."
"You!" Huo Youxue was stunned.
Huo Xiuxiu raised her eyebrows, and without further ado, she lifted up the pendant hanging around her neck and turned it around in front of all of them.
She called out to everyone present who could name them and asked them, "Everyone, do you recognize this?"
Their eyes all fell on the USB drive, and finally it was the Xie family’s housekeeper who recognized it: “This is Boss Xie’s personal USB drive.”
"What do you mean?"
"Where did she come from?"
"..."
"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense, it's meaningless." The fat man laughed, interrupting the conversation.
"As evidence, Huo Xiuxiu will take over the Jie family's assets!"
"Good! Everyone applaud."
The fat man took the lead in clapping, and some people, led by Jie Yuchen Wuxie, also clapped sporadically.
"Damn it." Boss Chen spat and shouted, "Stop clapping! Put it down! Who gave you permission to clap?!"
"Now, if you want to divide up the family business, you must first ask me if I agree." Huo Xiuxiu looked at Boss Chen as if she were looking at a clown. She faced everyone's gazes and spoke gently and firmly.
Huo Youxue sneered: "Why, do you mean that Jie Yuchen is really dead?"
Huo Xiuxiu glanced at Huo Youxue and nodded.
"Oh, whatever you say is what it is? Then let me ask you, where did you get this USB drive from?" Boss Chen immediately understood what Huo Youxue meant.
"Do you think we'll admit it if you make a fake one?"
"If it's not fake, then this is Jie Yuchen's personal USB drive. Could it be..." Huo Youxue paused for a moment, and the smile on his face widened.
"Did you kill him?"
"That's right, otherwise, why don't you tell me where this thing came from?"
Huo Xiuxiu raised her eyebrows: "It is well known that Brother Xiaohua was killed by the Wang family, so please don't throw such dirty water on me."
She turned around and asked the Xie family if they were willing to obey her orders. After receiving a positive answer, she continued:
"Instead of meddling in our affairs, why don't you think about how you're going to deal with the Wang family who have infiltrated the Nine Gates Association?"
As soon as these words came out, they caused quite a bit of panic.
Even Mr. He and his companions, who had been looking at the show, became serious now.
Huo Youxue and Boss Chen were taken aback for a moment. Huo Youxue immediately adjusted his mindset and mercilessly pointed out: "Huo Xiuxiu, stop confusing people. Do you think that if you use this excuse to confuse people, you can naturally become the agent?"
"That's right. What you said is all based on your own words. Do you think it's true just because you say it's true? Where's the evidence? Why don't you show me some evidence?"
"Are they trying to cover up the truth about Jie Yuchen's death? Or are they saying that the USB drive is fake and they're afraid it'll be discovered, so they're using this excuse to fool us?"
"We brothers and sisters all know our own business, and we can't let you say whatever you want!"
Boss Chen and Boss Qi immediately agreed.
