Chapter 632


    How shameless can Ouyang Duo be? Despite the current circumstances, he still talks about honor.


    Perhaps the more insidious one is, the more one desires to be seen as honorable.


    “I understand, Mr. Ouyang. Since it''s Ms. Ouyang who''s behind the poisoning, the me obviously


    cannot fall upon her. I''ll pay someone off to take the fall,” He Lin said.


    “Okay, get it done by tomorrow. This person has to be unwavering when confessing to the crime. The


    police must be convinced,” Ouyang Duo said.


    “Don''t worry, Mr. Ouyang. It''ll be properly dealt with.”


    “Also, keep an eye on the Nan family and inform me if anything crops up.”


    “Yes, Mr. Ouyang.”


    “Go now. As for these two girls, I''ll deal with them shortly.”


    He Lin broke into a smile. “I admire your vigor, Mr. Ouyang.”


    At two in the morning, Ouyang Duo''s phone kept shing beside his bed. Nheless, he—with two


    youngdies in his arms—slept so soundly that he was oblivious to it.


    When he finally woke up in the morning and saw more than ten missed calls from Feng Jialing, he


    immediately returned her call.


    “What is it?”


    “Why didn''t you pick up your subordinate''s call? The stock of our overseaspany was sold short


    and plunged overnight,” Feng Jialing rted.


    “What? Sold short?”


    “Yes, the subordinate reported that the short selling began two days ago but at a low volume, hence


    not raising any rms. They only realized it after a sudden surge of fundsst night triggered the


    drastic fall.”


    “How much has it fallen?”


    “Cumtively, thirty percent over thest few days.”


    “That''s a lot! Why wasn''t I informed earlier?” Ouyang Duo was filled with anxiety.


    “The fall started slow and only picked up pace abruptlyst night.”


    “I''m about to take over Nanshi Corporation, and yet, they want to sell mypany short? Once news


    of my acquisition is announced, the stock price will skyrocket and cause them devastating losses! Don''t


    worry. This issue will be resolved very soon,” Ouyang Duo replied.


    “All right, then. I''ll wait for your news.”


    Upon ending the call, Ouyang Duo washed up, ordered room service, and left the hotel once he had


    eaten.


    Meanwhile, the efficient He Lin had already found a scapegoat—an honest-looking middle-aged man.


    The man''s demands were reasonable. All he wanted was six hundred thousand to take on the role.


    Without questioning the man in detail, Ouyang Duo delivered him to the Nan residence.


    Nan Zhengde, who was practicing Tai Chi, was surprised to see Ouyang Duo arriving so early.


    As for thetter, he, too, didn''t expect Nan Zhengde to be in the mood for Tai Chi.


    “Mr. Nan, now that I''ve brought you the man responsible, please be prepared toe to the press


    conference with me. All the reporters have been notified and it will begin at two in the afternoon,”


    Ouyang Duo said.


    “Why are you in such a hurry?”


    “I''m not. Instead, I''m feeling anxious on your behalf. You have to resolve the matter as soon as


    possible and leave before you end up bing theughingstock of Flower City.”


    “Let me see the man.”


    The scapegoat He Lin had found was brought forward with his hands bound.


    Naturally, Ouyang Duo hoped that rage would drive Nan Zhengde to have the man beaten to death.


    That way, there would be no witnesses left, and the Nan family would end up digging a deeper hole for


    themselves.


    Evidently, Nan Zhengde was anything but impulsive.


    “Was it you who poisoned my great-granddaughter?”


    “Yes,” the man answered.


    “Why did you do it?”


    Unfortunately, an answer wasn''t forting.


    “Mr. Nan, since he has admitted to the crime, there''s no need to figure out his motive. Just hand him


    over to the police, and they''ll deal with him ordingly,” Ouyang Duo said.


    “You''re right. The motive isn''t important. Anyway, I''ll keep him here and think about how I''m going to


    deal with him. You should make the necessary arrangements for the press conference. I''ll be there withN?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Nan Xing in the afternoon,” Nan Zhengde replied.


    “All right. It''s settled, then. I''ll see youter,” Ouyang Duo agreed.


    At two-thirty today, my “coronation ceremony” will herald the end of the Nan family in Flower City.


    With that thought in mind, Ouyang Duo felt the frustration of losing tens of billion from the short selling


    of his stock fade away.


    Once news of the acquisition of Nanshi Corporation is released, the share price will see a sharp


    rebound and continue climbing higher. Those short sellers will be ughtered and all my problems will


    be solved!


    Upon returning to Orchid Club, Ouyang Duo got Feng Jialing to prepare his suit for the afternoon.


    Now that the new “king” was about to be unveiled, he wanted to make the best impression.


    “Jialing, do you think the news of the acquisition will make me a trending topic tonight?” Ouyang Duo


    asked his wife.


    “You? Trending topic? Isn''t that something only young people desire?” Feng Jialing was puzzled.


    “No, no, no. The publicity I gain from bing the trending topic will be great for marketing. Don''t you


    realize all sessful entrepreneurs ride on their poprity once they be a trending topic? In fact,


    it''s simr to spending a huge fortune on marketing expenses but even more effective,” Ouyang Duo


    exined.


    “I think youngsters nowadays care more about celebrity gossip than news from the business world.


    They''re more interested to know which celebrity is getting married, cheating on their partner, or has just


    given birth. As to which corporation is being taken over, they probably can''t be bothered. I suppose it''ll


    be hard for you,” Feng Jialing said.


    “In that case, I''ll buy my way into them for three consecutive days. No, one week! I want to be the


    trending topic for the entire week and be the most popr man in the city. Everyone must know


    who I am, as I''ll be the one to rule over this kingdom called Flower City!”


    Ouyang Duo''s eyes glistened with enthusiasm.


    It was then that Ouyang Qing walked in. “Dad, you''re the trending topic on the inte!”


    Ouyang Duo burst into heartyughter. “What? The press conference hasn''t even started. Looks like I


    don''t even have to spend any money at all!”


    “However, it isn''t about ttering news. Someone took pictures of you entering a hotel with two young


    ladies and staying the night!” Ouyang Qing said, triggering a drastic change in Ouyang Duo''s


    expression.


    “Ouyang Duo, you were fooling around with two womenst night? You b*stard!” Feng Jialing


    exploded.


    “Wait, calm down and let me exin. They were He Lin''s rtives who were looking for a job at the


    company. I just had drinks with them and nothing else!”


    “You wouldn''t be trending if that were true. While I was busy helping you acquire the Nan family''s


    business, you were out fraternizing with other women. I''m going to kill you for this!” Feng Jialing


    screamed before lunging at Ouyang Duo.


    In response, Ouyang Duo shoved her aside, causing her to fall and hit her head on the corner of the


    table.


    “Dad, how could you be so violent to Mom? Mom, are you all right?” Ouyang Qing quickly helped her


    mother up.


    “Jialing, you should know better than to stir up trouble for me at this crucial juncture. Today is extremely


    important to me. Whatever you have to say, save it forter. Otherwise, get your ass back to Pearl


    City!” Ouyang Duo roared.
