Chapter 547: Lan Cheng’s Stratagem

Evening.

Xu Shaochen received phone calls from both the Yun and Ye families.

Both were discussing the same matter.

Half an hour ago, Lan Cheng had gathered them for a meeting.

During the meeting, Lan Cheng revealed that he had bribed a key member of the Tan family and would be making further contact tonight at a Japanese restaurant.

Xu Shaochen frowned after hearing this, feeling that something was off.

Knowing Lan Cheng’s personality,

if he truly had bribed someone important in the Tan family, he wouldn’t have disclosed it to the alliance members.

But now he not only disclosed it but also revealed the meeting place.

Would Lan Cheng be this generous? However, just to be safe, Xu Shaochen decided to send someone to check it out.

If a key member of the Tan family had indeed been bought, that wouldn’t be good news.

What Xu Shaochen didn’t know was that he had already fallen into Lan Cheng’s trap.

………

Lan Family’s Company Conference Room.

The meeting had been over for more than half an hour.

Lan Cheng still hadn’t left as he was waiting for a phone call.

This call would confirm whether the Yun family had a traitor.

If they did, this conference room would soon be used again.

‘Ring ring…’

Time passed by second by second, and the phone on the conference table rang.

Lan Cheng grabbed the phone and answered: ‘Speak.’

‘Young Master Lan, someone went suspiciously to the Japanese restaurant and has been watching the place. Should I take action?’

‘No need. You can withdraw.’

Lan Cheng hung up the phone and gritted his teeth, ‘Yun Changsheng… Yun Changsheng… I didn’t expect it to really be your Yun family.’

This information was deliberately leaked during the meeting, and Xu Shaochen found out very quickly.

Moreover, based on what Kong Tianjing said, Yun Changsheng knows Xu Shaochen.

Who else could have informed Xu Shaochen but the Yun family? It’s clear that the Yun family must have informed Xu Shaochen about our alliance’s plans these past few days.

Lan Cheng sneered coldly, then grabbed the phone again to notify the alliance members to reconvene, leaving out the Yun family.

Over twenty minutes later, the Ye family and others walked back into the conference room.

‘Nephew Lan Cheng, what are you up to? Can’t you just say everything in one go instead of splitting it into two meetings?’

‘Yeah, Young Master Lan, everyone’s busy. Can’t you be more straightforward?’

Once everyone was present, they couldn’t help but grumble at Lan Cheng.

Lan Cheng sneered, ‘If anyone is unwilling, just leave. I won’t stop you.’

Even though he was using the alliance to draw Xu Shaochen’s attention and firepower, allowing Tan Chen to steal the samples and formulas in secret,

he still had no intention of disbanding the alliance. After all, he could utilize their strength against Xu Shaochen.

The Lan family alone couldn’t withstand the pressure from the Xu Corporation.

Hearing this, those who had just complained immediately fell silent.

Everyone knew how profitable the AIDS special medicine could be. How could they possibly agree to leave halfway?

‘Alright, everyone’s here, let me get to the point.’

Seeing the room quiet down, a hint of mockery flashed through Lan Cheng’s eyes, but it was so brief that no one noticed.

‘Nephew Lan Cheng, the Yun family isn’t here yet. Should I call them to remind them?’

Ye Tao’s father, Ye Changfei, suggested.

‘Uncle Ye, there’s no need. Today, I want to talk about the Yun family.’

Lan Cheng glanced around the room and then said, ‘Gentlemen, I just confirmed one thing. The Yun family has been secretly colluding with Xu Shaochen. They are the traitors among us!’

Boom! The moment these words fell, everyone was in an uproar.

Ye Changfei’s face slightly changed, but he quickly regained his composure. However, under the table, his hands were tightly clasped together.

‘No way, Young Master Lan, could you be mistaken?’

‘Yeah, how could the Yun family collude with Xu Shaochen?’

‘Is this for real…?’

Everyone reacted strongly, finding it hard to believe.

‘I know it’s hard to believe, but I wouldn’t say this without solid evidence. I, Lan Cheng, never make baseless claims.’

‘Uncles, do you remember what I said in the previous meeting? I mentioned that I had bribed a key member of the Tan family and even revealed the time and place of the meeting.’

‘Were you testing Yun Dahai?’ Ye Changfei blurted out.

Lan Cheng nodded, ‘Exactly. I had long suspected that Yun Dahai was colluding with Xu Shaochen. That was just a test.’

Ye Changfei’s heart skipped a beat. Thankfully, he hadn’t slipped up.

Everyone’s expressions were mixed as they looked at Lan Cheng.

They knew Lan Cheng surely hadn’t finished.

‘Now that it’s confirmed Yun Dahai is working with Xu Shaochen, we should take this opportunity to turn the tables on them and eliminate Xu Shaochen as a threat.’

Lan Cheng smiled slightly, looking as if victory was within his grasp.

‘How do we turn the tables?’ Ye Changfei asked the question everyone was wondering.

‘Clap—!’

Instead of answering, Lan Cheng clapped his hands.

Then a bodyguard walked in carrying a box.

‘Uncles, I’m not doubting anyone’s trustworthiness, but because of Yun Dahai’s example, let’s hand over our phones to my people for safekeeping to build trust among us.’

As he spoke, Lan Cheng was the first to take out his phone and toss it into the box.

Seeing this, the others didn’t have much to say. At a time like this, whoever didn’t hand in their phone would seem untrustworthy.

After everyone handed over their phones, Lan Cheng finally spoke: ‘The plan is simple. Now that we know Yun Dahai is the traitor, we…’

Lan Cheng then proceeded to explain his plan.

After hearing it, everyone gasped and hesitated.

‘Young Master Lan, your plan is to kill Xu Shaochen. The Xu Corporation isn’t to be underestimated.’

‘Yeah, Nephew Lan Cheng, we just want the AIDS special medicine, no need to take anyone’s life.’

Lan Cheng’s plan ultimately aimed to eliminate Xu Shaochen, and of course, these people were scared. After all, Xu Shaochen is the young director of the Xu Corporation.

‘Uncles, there’s no success without risk. If you want to make a fortune but can’t be ruthless or take risks, you might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes. It’s much safer.’

Lan Cheng looked at the group below, a slight smirk forming on his lips. He wanted to tie these people to the same chariot.

Once they were all involved in this plan, they would be at his mercy. ‘I’m in! Damn it, what’s the Xu Corporation? When we’re all united, we’re not to be trifled with!’

The first to speak up was Ye Changfei. He wanted to end this meeting quickly and relay the information to Xu Shaochen.

Once the first person spoke, the others echoed their support.

After all, they were well aware that there could be countless people lying in ambush outside.

Having all heard this plan, it was impossible to back out now.
