Chapter 534 Illegal Imprisonment
Twenty minutes later, Xu Fangye returned with breakfast, and everyone ate a simple meal.
Fang Li also drank some porridge under Cheng Xian's care, and her complexion improved a lot.
Fang Yun and Cheng Xian stayed in the ward with Fang Li, while the others went to Grandpa Xu's ward.
"This matter must not be left like this!"
Sitting on the hospital bed, though still weak, Old Master Xu's eyes remained sharp. "Song Yuchen and the Sheng family must pay the price!"
"Dad, don't worry, we know what we're doing."
Xu Tingfeng said in a deep voice, "Those who dare to touch our Xu family will not be let off so easily."
Han Xi sat to the side, his face calm, but his eyes were as cold as ice: "I've already made arrangements with Song Yuchen. He will no longer appear before Ali. As for the Sheng family..."
He paused, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
At that moment, Han Xi's phone rang. He glanced at it, swiped to answer, and after a few words from the other end, the call ended.
Han Xi didn't say a word from beginning to end. After hanging up the phone, he got up and turned on the financial news channel in the ward before sitting back down.
The television was broadcasting the latest financial news, which was about Shengshi Group.
According to the latest news from this station, Shengshi Group is insolvent, with its three major projects suffering serious losses and its cash flow chain broken. It has been forcibly acquired by X Group.
One sentence was enough to shock Xu Tingfeng and the others.
Shengshi Group is a well-established group in China. During the heyday of the real estate industry, Shengshi Group was very popular in China and even had a small reputation internationally.
Although I had heard that their assets had been shrinking over the years, even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse. How could such a big company just disappear like that?
Xu Tingfeng looked at the silent Han Xi, as if only now did he realize the methods of his son-in-law.
The TV presenter was still broadcasting: "It is reported that X Group will completely revamp the existing divisions of Shengshi Group. From now on, there will be no more Shengshi Group. The original Shengshi Group will be officially renamed the Greater China Division of X Group..."
The news anchor's voice came through clearly, and the screen showed footage of the exterior of the Shengshi Group building, where workers were dismantling the "Shengshi Group" sign.
This news was like a bombshell, shocking not only the domestic financial district but also the people in the ward, who were somewhat surprised but then felt it made sense.
Unexpectedly, it was X Group that ended up giving Shengshi Group a quick and decisive victory.
That investment group that thrived in overseas financial districts, whose assets made it onto the Forbes list, yet whose true strength remains a mystery.
Xu Tingfeng and Xu Qingrang were both impressed by X Group's business acumen and shrewdness.
Only Xu Fangye, who knew the truth, looked at Han Xi and knew perfectly well who the real person in charge of X Group was.
I just didn't expect that even with such an urgent situation last night, he would still be able to concentrate on arranging all of this.
Xu Fangye sighed softly and fell silent.
Meanwhile, in another ward downstairs, Sheng Qianrui was being "watched" by two bodyguards, who were forcing her to watch the news.
A night of anxiety had robbed her of her usual radiance; her hair was disheveled, her makeup was smudged, and her eyes were bloodshot.
When she saw the news on TV, she suddenly knelt down and stared intently at the screen, as if her soul had been ripped away.
Her eyes widened, her pupils contracted, and she made a whimpering sound, but she couldn't cry, as if something was blocking her throat.
His eyes were brimming with endless regret and resentment, as if he were about to weep blood.
"It's all because of me...it's all because of me..."
She muttered to herself over and over again, her nails digging deep into her palms, oblivious to the blood seeping out.
If she hadn't been jealous of Xu Fangli, and if she hadn't acted rashly and conspired with Song Yuchen, the Sheng family wouldn't be in this state today.
But now it's too late to say anything.
Shengshi Group is finished, and the Sheng family is finished too!
Father, Father must hate her to death right now.
In an instant, Sheng Qianrui felt as if all her strength had been drained away. She collapsed in the ward, let out a couple of suppressed sobs, and then fainted.
With the Sheng family's affairs settled, only Song Yuchen remained.
Song Yuchen was originally detained at the Haicheng Police Station. He felt that he would definitely not escape this time, and neither the Xu family nor Han Xi would let him go.
He was prepared to go to jail, but somehow someone managed to get him released on bail.
As he walked out of the police station, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Sheng Qianrui or Qu Fan had saved him.
But when he saw the stranger waiting at the door, his heart skipped a beat.
The man looked at him expressionlessly, his eyes cold.
Song Yuchen felt a strange sense of familiarity, but couldn't quite place where he had seen it before.
It wasn't until the other party gestured for him to get into the car, and he was "invited" into the car by two tall bodyguards on either side, that he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen this man with Han Xi or Fang Li before!
These are Han Xi's men!
Song Yuchen was instantly terrified and struggled to get out of the car: "Who are you? Let me go! Where are you taking me?"
He was met with silence, and two bodyguards held him down, preventing him from moving.
The car drove smoothly, but Song Yuchen's heart sank little by little as a strong sense of fear enveloped him.
After driving for more than an hour, the car finally entered a deserted, abandoned factory.
The surrounding area was desolate and dilapidated, with only a few old factory buildings standing there, exuding a gloomy and eerie atmosphere.
The bodyguards dragged Song Yuchen out of the car and threw her into a low-ceilinged house without windows.
The room was empty, with only a few old tables and chairs, and the floor was covered in dust.
Song Yuchen fell to the ground, looking utterly disheveled.
He struggled to his feet, but the bodyguard immediately went out and locked the door to the room.
Looking at the tightly closed door, Song Yuchen's fear deepened.
He didn't know what Han Xi was going to do to him, but he knew it wouldn't be anything good.
"You can't do this! Let me out! I want to go back to the police station. This is illegal imprisonment. Open the door!"
However, no matter how much he knocked on the door or shouted, he was only met with endless silence.
The long wait began. Song Yuchen kept calling and banging on the door until he was so tired that he couldn't lift his hands anymore. Then he slid down to the ground against the door.
Every minute and every second after that felt like torture.
He had considered finding a way to escape, but the factory was completely enclosed, leaving him with no options.
After an unknown amount of time, faint voices could finally be heard from outside.
Song Yuchen quickly got up from the ground and was about to knock on the door when the factory door was pushed open from the outside with two knocks, and a tall figure walked in against the light.
