Gao Shan took out his phone and called the number he had contacted a month ago.

“I agreed to your request.”

However, the person on the other end of the line didn’t take him up on it. “Mr. Gao, you’re too greedy and arrogant. At that time, you were too confident in yourself and rejected my invitation. Now, you have to suffer the consequences of your own actions. Not everyone is qualified to let me give him a second chance.”

Gao Shan panicked. He gripped the phone tightly and couldn’t help but raise his voice, but he tried his best to suppress it. “Then what do you want? As long as you can help me ruin Li Ci’s reputation, I’ll do anything!”

The person on the other end of the line sneered. “Heh, Mr. Gao, if I’m not wrong, you’ll probably have ti announce bankruptcy at this time tomorrow. What do you think you can possibly help me with?”

However, the person didn’t hang up. It was obvious that he was waiting for Gao Shan to figure it out.

Gao Shan thought about it and understood. Then, he suddenly said, “Yes… yes… yes, I can help you deal with Yuan Shu!”

“Oh really?” The person on the other end of the phone was starting to get interested and signaled for Gao Shan to continue.

“The person making the decisions for the s.h.i.+ family now is Yuan Shu! I still have a way to control s.h.i.+ Lu! As long as s.h.i.+ Lu is controlled, Yuan Shu will definitely submit to me! At that time, it will be much easier for you to lay hands on Yuan An!”

“Hehehe…” That person chuckled disdainfully. “Yuan Shu is just a woman? She’s much harder to deal with than you. But I’ll take this as your pledge of allegiance. If you succeed, I’ll naturally help you.”

“Alright, alright…” Gao Shan knew that the other party couldn’t see him, but he still nodded and bowed.

Beep… The call ended. Gao Shan’s expression became vicious as he muttered, “Yuan Shu…”

He was right. That person was targeting Yuan An.

A few months ago, this person suddenly found Gao Shan and said that he wanted to negotiate a deal with him. Gao Shan originally thought that this person was a fraud and didn’t take him to heart. Unexpectedly, the person said, “Mr. Gao, I know you’ve always wanted to divorce Li Ran, but there’s no suitable reason, so why don’t I help you?”

Gao Shan became vigilant and asked, “What do you want?”

The person said, “As long as you get Chu Mei to claim the child in her stomach is s.h.i.+ Xiao’s, Li Ran definitely won’t find out about the child for the time being, so your child will be safe. As for the rest, I’ll handle it. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely ensure that the company will be fine after your divorce.”

Later on, things went according to Gao Shan’s expectations. After the divorce, but Li Ran didn’t pursue the matter, nor did she take away more of his a.s.sets. Therefore, Gao Shan didn’t take the Li family seriously at all.

Later on, this person called him again. “Mr. Gao, you’re underestimating Li Ci. I’m the only one who can help you now. As long as you’re willing to let Chu Mei say that the child belongs to s.h.i.+ Lu before ‘Gunshot’ wraps up and make s.h.i.+ Lu the center of public attention, I can help you deal with Li Ci.”

At that time, Gao Shan didn’t take his words seriously at all. After all, the child in Chu Mei’s stomach was his first child. Why should he claim his child was someone else’s before the child was even born?

Moreover, the company had been operating smoothly so far, and Li Ci had not caused trouble for him at all, so it seemed that Li Ci was at the end of his rope. Without Gao Shan, Li Ci’s hands were tied. What was there to be afraid of when Li Ci was empty-handed?

Therefore, Gao Shan rejected this person directly. “I think our cooperation can end here. You don’t have to worry about the rest. We won’t meet again.”

However, ‘Gunshot’ had already finished filming, so Chu Mei couldn’t be used anymore. The previous conditions were no longer valid.

Only at this moment did Gao Shan realize that he was just a chess piece in the hands of the upper-cla.s.s people like them. He was nothing but a dispensable p.a.w.n!

Gao Shan was indignant! The company he had worked so hard to build for so many years, even if he relied on Li Ci to develop it, belonged to him! He would never allow Li Ci to s.n.a.t.c.h it away!
