Chapter 146

Inside the meeting room.

Miao Zijang looked at his blood-soaked brother, then glanced at Zhang Taotao, who had placed her gun on the table. After a full three or four seconds of silence, he said expressionlessly, "Get him to the hospital!"

On the floor, Miao Ziwei's forehead veins bulged as he endured the pain and shouted at his older brother, "She...she's lying. She's the one who brought Su Tiannan to the island! Give me five days, and I'll bring you Su Tiannan's confession!"

No one could interrupt the brothers' conversation, including Director He of the shareholders' meeting, who stood calmly to the side, without showing any attitude.

"Are you deaf?! I told you to get him to the hospital!" Miao Zijang roared at the security personnel.

As soon as he spoke, several people stepped forward to help Miao Ziwei up.

"Big brother, she...!" Miao Ziwei was about to say something, but he was directly supported and led away by the security personnel.

Miao Zijang turned to look at Zhang Taotao and the others, and said succinctly, "The company will form an investigation team. You will hand over all the evidence you have to them. The final result will be judged by the higher-level military intelligence unit. What's real can't be fake, and what's fake can't be real. That's it, dismissed!"

After speaking, Miao Zijang didn't exchange any words with Zhang Taotao, and strode away.

"You guys do your job," Zhang Taotao instructed the people from the appraisal company, and also strode out of the conference room.

All day long, the appraisal company Zhang Taotao hired was conducting asset valuations at the Baolong Group headquarters, putting on a posture that they would thoroughly settle the accounts for Director Zhang.

...

The day passed without incident.

Around seven o'clock in the evening, inside a hospital, Miao Zijang walked towards a special care ward with his hands behind his back. A man following behind him whispered, "The injuries are serious. He might be permanently disabled."

"...Lame?" Miao Zijang turned his head and asked.

The man paused, not daring to respond directly, and just nodded.

Zhang Taotao didn't hold back at all when she shot Miao Ziwei. The bullet hit his kneecap, shattering the bone.

Miao Zijang didn't say anything, he just quickened his pace, pushed open the door and entered the special care ward. The others stood at the door, closed it, and didn't follow him in.

Inside the ward, the strong smell of alcohol assaulted his senses. Miao Ziwei lay on the bed, his face pale. When he saw his older brother enter, he immediately turned his head towards the window, not saying a word.

Miao Zijang came to the bedside, slowly pulled up a chair and sat down. "Are you feeling better?"

Miao Ziwei still didn't respond, his eyes gazing melancholically at the window, tears welling up.

Miao Zijang frowned. "I'm talking to you."

Miao Ziwei was like a mute with his mouth sealed, his expression aggrieved, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.

"...!" Miao Zijang looked at his pathetic state, and anger surged in his heart, but considering that he had been shot and would be left with a disability, he suppressed his negative emotions. "Sigh, consider this shot as you taking it for me."

Hearing this, Miao Ziwei's mouth twitched. "I...I don't understand why you're not dealing with her. She's lying!"

"Did you want to kill her?" Miao Zijang immediately asked directly when he heard him speak.

"...!" Miao Ziwei's mouth was sealed again, not daring to answer the question directly.

"You went too far with this." Miao Zijang said in a low voice, "Do you think...you were only suppressing Zhang Taotao alone? Do you know...!"

"Big brother, who was I doing this for?" Miao Ziwei suddenly turned his head. "Wasn't I trying to take down Zhang Taotao, kick her out, and slowly disintegrate those people in the shareholders' meeting?"

Miao Zijang inwardly despised this claim, because he knew that the latter wasn't trying to disintegrate any shareholders' meeting, nor was he thinking about the family; he was purely trying to grab power and wealth for himself, and get rid of his competitors along the way.

However, Miao Zijang certainly couldn't show these inner thoughts. He's already like this? What are you arguing with him about? You have to give him a way out, right?

"The idea was good, but you used the wrong method," Miao Zijang said, looking at him. "You should have consulted me first!"

"...I thought that my attack wouldn't necessarily mean it was your intention," Miao Ziwei also had a set of excuses. "This would allow you to advance or retreat in an orderly manner, and you wouldn't have to be at the mercy of the shareholders' meeting, but I didn't expect...Zhang Taotao and Wang Zhen's men...!"

Miao Zijang cursed inwardly, advance or retreat in an orderly manner, my ass! You've left me with such a mess! I'm now in a dilemma!

"I underestimated her, but this isn't over. I've already spoken with Price, and I'm planning to hand Su Tiannan over to him...!" Da Feng Novel

"Stop it, okay?!" Miao Zijang looked at him with some impatience. "What are you handing over? You can't touch Zhang Taotao now, do you understand? What time is it, and you're still thinking about the shares in her hand? Do you know that Zhang Taotao is already doing an asset liquidation? Many people in the shareholders' meeting have stated that if Zhang Taotao withdraws from Baolong, they will also look for an opportunity to withdraw their shares!!"

"But...!"

"But what?" Miao Zijang said with a cold face. "End it here, understand?"

Miao Ziwei clenched his fists tightly. "Then what about this leg of mine?"

"Consider it mine. I owe you a leg!" Miao Zijang stood up, looked at him and said, "Calm down! You and I share the same surname. If the people in the group are dissatisfied with you, then they are dissatisfied with me!"

After speaking, Miao Zijang turned to walk outside. "...Your big brother isn't omnipotent. I feel sorry for you, but I can't keep indulging you."

...

An hour and a half later.

Miao Zijang sat in a tea room, reaching out to pour a cup of tea for Zhang Taotao. "You can't leave, the group can't do without you."

Zhang Taotao didn't say anything.

"The mining industry will be handed over to you, and you will be in charge of the subsequent negotiations," Miao Zijang said as if talking to himself. "As for the problems on the island, just like those dead people, bury them completely."

"The gunman was less than ten centimeters away from me, and the bullet grazed my scalp," Zhang Taotao looked at Miao Zijang. "President, if it were you...could you move on?"

Miao Zijang looked up at Zhang Taotao. "Taotao, about this matter...consider it Uncle begging you!"

After speaking, Miao Zijang pushed the teacup over, his face haggard. "You and Xiaowen grew up with me since childhood. In the end, the shareholders' meeting isn't your family!"

Zhang Taotao looked at him. "Okay, I won't leave!"

Miao Zijang didn't ask whether Zhang Taotao had brought Su Tiannan to the island, because it was no longer important.

Why did Zhang Taotao dare to shoot Miao Ziwei? Was it just because of anger and revenge? It wasn't that simple!

Because Zhang Taotao knew very well that the people in the shareholders' meeting also wanted to fire this shot, to warn the unbridled Miao Ziwei!

After the two talked for half an hour, they left separately. Zhang Taotao completely took over all matters of the mining company and presided over the subsequent negotiations with Li Mingsheng's team!

At the same time, because of the feud between Zhang Taotao and Miao Ziwei, her position in the group completely changed, and a crack that could not be touched, could not be seen, but was real, appeared in the relationship with the Miao family.

...

A day later.

Zhang Taotao arrived in Dragon City, and said to Su Tianyu, "Miao Ziwei revealed your big brother's matter at the meeting. He can't get out for the time being, but I can guarantee his safety. After the negotiations are over, I'll slowly work on his release!"
