Became a vicious male mother

95

But the thought that... one day in the future, an innocent person will be pushed into a fire pit by their own father.

Marry a ruthless and cunning man.

Like a viper lurking in the shadows, if you're not careful, you'll be swallowed whole and left with nothing but bones.

What happened to the girl who married Lai Hoe Thai...?

Gu Xinglan felt a splitting headache as soon as she thought about it.

He didn't even dare to delve deeper into the memories.

Because my brain was completely fogged up with blood.

My life is absolutely in danger!

Now, seeing Li Taihe beside him determined to win, he pressed the button without hesitation.

Adding it up by millions, the numbers become utterly cold, as if they weren't money, but millions of grains of quicksand in a desert.

With a crisp "clang," the sound echoed throughout the hall.

This sound indicates that the auction was successful.

Li Taihe spent over 100 million to bid for that lotus root.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your strong support of this auction!"

Bai Kairui, sitting next to him, rarely showed genuine joy.

His face was almost twisted into a pretzel with a big smile, and his light-colored eyebrows were almost raised to his hairline.

One hundred million! The auction made a net profit of ten million just from the transaction fees!

Seeing that Li Taihe was about to get up and leave, Bai Kairui quickly called out, "Mr. Li! If you continue to participate in the next auction, I'll reduce the 10% commission to 8% for you! How about it?"

The auctions held behind closed doors are different from those held openly, and the fees charged are also different.

Without saying a word, Bai Kairui took out his phone: "Brother Taihe, it's just a matter of a word from you. I can call the person who drafted the contract and have it revised right now."

But Li Taihe flicked his sleeve and shook his head: "No need, thank you for your kindness, Brother Bai."

"The next item up for auction is business data from the Northwest Territories. Aren't you interested? Most people here are here for that."

The data hard drive contains collections from Commonwealth member states, especially geographically close regions, such as southern Canada, Jamaica, and the Caribbean.

The collected user data, after being filtered for value, can almost all be converted into money.

"Aren't you moved?"

"With minimal human, material, and financial resources, we can obtain readily available market research, which includes at least two generations of consumer habits and value analysis."

After speaking, Bai Kairui stared intently at Li Taihe.

Even if you don't need it yourself, why would you let your opponent have it?

He has said those things to countless people.

Every businessman, even those with some connection to overseas business, is eager to get involved.

"Brother Bai, to be honest..."

Li Taihe seemed amused by his words, and even his tone became lighter: "The provider of this auction item is the Li family. It was a decision made by the shareholders' meeting. If you want to thank them for their selflessness, I suggest you wait until next year's company anniversary meeting."

Upon hearing this, Bai Kairui froze, his lips moving for a long time, but he couldn't say a word.

……

The hard drive provider is anonymous.

Now Li Taihe says that this was provided by his company. What does that mean?

What would it mean if the Lai family obtained this business data?

This means that Li Taihe may have already begun making arrangements for that area.

That's a brilliant plan!

Li Taihe is trying to use the hard drive to draw attention away from the ancient lotus root.

After all, this thing is very old, and it was dug up from a tomb, and the tomb owner happened to have some strange beliefs.

It is not uncommon for wealthy gentlemen who believe in gods, ghosts, and eternal life to enjoy it.

But nothing is as attractive as real money!

On the field.

The palm-sized hard drive was projected onto the screen.

It's just a black box, but the value behind it is already astronomical.

Bai Kairui chased after him, panting, and blocked Li Taihe's path, hissing, "Are you crazy? You're putting something your company had already planned in advance up for auction! What about me?!"

The exit passage, like the entire venue, was shrouded in darkness and unsavory.

Seeing that the person he was blocking was actually emanating a faint but palpable aura of hostility, Bai Kairui's expression darkened.

The reason he's been able to stay in this building for so long without being taken down by his superiors is because of his integrity.

No matter who you are or what you want to photograph, if you come here and pay enough money, he can find it for you.

Others owe him a favor, so they have to protect him.

But now, there's this guy, Li Taihe, who's breaking the rules.

Bai Kairui stood straight on the floor.

His almost grayish-purple pupils reflected a cold light in the darkness, staring back at the other person without blinking.

In the blink of an eye, the idea was extinguished the moment someone spoke—"Our company is only responsible for collecting data; as for the overall strategy, Brother Bai, you can rest assured."

Li Taihe protected the person beside him, his expression calm: "My home turf is in China, so I really can't spare much attention for business over there."

"As you said, the Li family did indeed spend a lot of manpower, resources, and money. Now we're handing it over to them, letting them get a bigger return with the least investment. Isn't that a good thing?"

"..."

That makes sense...

My mood suddenly felt like I'd taken a free rollercoaster ride.

Bai Kairui took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes, and waved his hand as if he didn't want to see the person in front of him anymore. He said, "Go away. Don't come back unless it's absolutely necessary. My little temple can't accommodate a Buddha like you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of leather shoes and women's high heels faded into the distance.

As the intense, evenly matched aura around him weakened, he touched the bead in his hand.

Cracks and tiny specks of powder appeared on the prayer beads; he crushed them when he squeezed them…

No wonder he was so nervous just now; Li Taihe is really not a great philanthropist.

He always suspected that this person wanted to wipe out all the powerful families in Wushui, including him.

……

When I came out of the venue, half of the sky outside was already red.

The rosy clouds were dyed brilliantly by the sea of ​​fire, sculpting the clock tower and skyscrapers outside the window into divine messengers draped in light.

Li Taihe stood in front of the elevator door, lightly pressing the watch on his wrist.

After arranging everything meticulously, I finally turned my attention to the small ornament beside me.

The person next to him seemed to become extremely strange from the moment he kissed this person's cheekbone.

"Gu Xinglan".

"..."

There were only the two of them here, and any breath they exhaled would turn into solidified frost and snow, losing all fluidity.

Gu Xinglan was speechless.

My mind is filled with fragmented memories.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of shared pity for the man before him, someone who would one day be exterminated along with him by Li Hetai.

"Li Taihe, if one day you were to be utterly killed by someone you've ignored but who's always around you, what would you think?"

Because he had never experienced this emotion, even as a psychologist, he found it difficult to describe it precisely.

Why ask this question?

Li Taihe's eyes remained calm and undisturbed: "Practice is worse than idle talk. Let me ask you, would you allow your enemy to breathe the same air as you without any burden?" He added slowly at the end:

"Gu Xinglan, are you still bothered by that kiss from earlier?"

"If you treat me as an enemy, no matter the situation, you will be the one to lose."

Standing nearly two meters tall, it was bathed in golden light, giving it a divine aura. It seemed to be a deity, with every inch of it radiating holy light, dazzlingly bright.

The light stung his eyes. Gu Xinglan gently wiped away his tears, turned his head away, and remained silent.
