Chapter 901: Chapter 656: Involvement in Kidnapping, Framing, and Attempted Murder (Revised)
The gift box was passed over, but Rong Jing hesitated for a long time without taking it. Rong Si squinted his eyes,
"Ah Jing, take it."
Rong Jing looked rebellious, and just as he was about to reach out to take it, Yin Shixiu’s hand conveniently let go, and the gift box fell to the ground with a "thud".
"Sorry, my hand slipped."
The exquisite gift box hit the ground, the sound making everyone present gasp.
Rong Jing’s outstretched hand froze in mid-air.
He glared at Yin Shixiu, eyes nearly dripping with blood.
Yet, the perpetrator offered such a half-hearted excuse.
Hand slipped?
Yin Shixiu’s face showed no emotion, except for that trademark composure that Rong Jing found extremely disgusting.
He was intentionally humiliating Rong Jing.
No matter what the others were thinking, Rong Jing and Rong Si felt the same in their hearts!
This man never appeared without causing a sensation, making his presence overwhelmingly known!
To pick it up, or not to pick it up?
With so many people and pairs of eyes watching, if he bent down to pick it up, wouldn’t Rong Jing become everyone’s laughingstock in the future?
Privately, he could already imagine how people might gossip, even without hearing it himself.
No matter how large the Rong Group was, no matter how high the status of the young master of the Rong Family, no matter how respected Old Sir Rong was...
In front of Yin Shixiu, they would be overshadowed.
But if he didn’t pick it up...
"This gift from President Yin is..."
The gift box fell to the ground, and its contents spilled out. Rong Jing was still contemplating whether to endure the humiliation and bend down, while others focused their curiosity on the "thin gift."
"It’s a letter..."
Ma Qijun suddenly emerged from the back. He seemed to have noticed the embarrassment of Young Master Rong.
Without waiting for Rong Jing to decide whether to bend down and pick up this deliberately humiliating "thin gift," Ma Qijun had already reached out and picked up the gift box along with the letter.
Upon hearing the mention of a letter by those around him, Rong Jing immediately snapped back to his senses. Seeing Ma Qijun had picked it up, he quickly took the letter in his hands.
Thin gift...
Birthday wishes...
Only a fool would believe that Yin Shixiu came sincerely to wish Old Sir Rong a happy birthday. Would a resurrected Yin Shixiu kindly bring a gift?
Vengeful, that’s this man’s nature, something Yin Shixiu would do.
He wouldn’t give any real birthday gift, but probably a dagger.
Holding the letter, Rong Jing felt his fingers burning.
"What is this?"
Rong Si already felt a sense of unease in his heart. A letter... who wrote it? What was written inside?
It was delivered by Yin Shixiu...
This alone meant that the letter couldn’t be simple.
"Wu Rong."
Before Rong Jing could ask, Yin Shixiu, as if he could see through Rong Jing’s confusion,
gave a simple two-word answer to solve Rong Jing’s doubts, and then explained leisurely,
"He asked me to bring it to you and your father. I suppose I’m offering flowers to Buddha. Otherwise, I genuinely wouldn’t know what to give Uncle Rong as a birthday gift... can’t possibly bring the Rong Group’s shares ownership..."
"..."
Yin Shixiu’s seemingly joking words carried a huge amount of information.
Most of those present were highly sensitive to group shares and equity. What Yin Shixiu said was almost as if telling everyone he held the Rong Group’s shares.
But... were his words deeply meaningful jokes, or jokes with hidden meanings?
Rong Jing’s heart sank following Yin Shixiu’s words...
He said he stumbled upon his father’s birthday party by chance... he came fully prepared!
While they carefully designed their plans, Yin Shixiu wasn’t sitting idle either!
Not only was he in Beijing, but he also met Wu Rong without their knowledge, and even Wu Rong’s lawyer couldn’t see Wu Rong...
"Wu Rong...? Wasn’t he already... arrested by Director Bai?"
The guests couldn’t help but become puzzled.
"Why... would Wu Rong write a letter to Mr. Rong?"
"...It seems Mr. Rong and Wu Rong had quite a good relationship..."
Whispering voices spread quickly, sounding very ominous to Rong Jing and Rong Si.
Rong Si had already clenched his fists.
Yin Shixiu’s goal had been achieved; he was leading Wu Rong’s trouble to burn the Rong family father and son.
Rong Si knew Wu Rong fairly well.
He hadn’t been without attempts to save Wu Rong, but they hadn’t figured out the exact charges Wu Rong was arrested for, with various attempts over the days not yielding a good lead.
