After hearing Zhao Wen's words, Kang Liang frowned and replied:

"Okay, I'll report to Young Master Qi now. You can find a place nearby to wait for a while."

Kang Liang hung up the phone and rushed to Yan Qi's office.

Yan Qi leaned against the back of the leather sofa, his long legs crossed, his fingertips lightly tapping the leather armrests. The rhythm was slow, yet it exuded an undeniable sense of oppression.

Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating him and making his profile appear exceptionally hard and cold. His entire aura seemed to be like ice that had been immersed in a frigid pool, chilling and icy.

After listening to Kang Liang's report, the office fell into a deathly silence.

After a long while, Yan Qi ran his fingertips along the surface of the leather armrest and slowly looked up at Kang Liang.

His dark eyes seemed shrouded in a perpetual mist, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, yet they inexplicably sent shivers down one's spine.

His voice was low and hoarse when he spoke:

"What is Fang Ze doing right now?"

His tone was nonchalant, yet it concealed a barely perceptible sinister undertone.

Kang Liang replied respectfully:

"A high-level meeting is in progress; it should be a seminar for a new project."

After listening, Yan Qi slowly withdrew his gaze and returned it to his crossed knees.

The collar of his black shirt gleamed faintly in the light. His eyes were slightly lowered, and his long eyelashes cast a soft shadow beneath his eyelids, obscuring his expression.

When he spoke again, his deep voice carried a sinister and ruthless undertone:

"You represent me and go to the Fang Group to tell Fang Ze who is now in charge of the Fang Group."

Kang Liang said "okay" and immediately turned and left the office.

Inside the main conference room of the Fang Group.

Fang Ze sat in the main seat with a serious expression. His white shirt, made of an expensive material, was well-tailored, and his words and actions exuded the gentle composure of a person in a superior position.

Sitting in front of him were several of the company's core executives, each with a copy of the latest data on nursing robots in front of them.

After several years of research and development and debugging, the nursing robot has reached the stage where it can be delivered and used. Now, as long as the pilot operation is successful, it can be launched on the market.

There was a sudden knock on the office door, and Dong Xiao strode in, a complex expression on his face.

He walked over to Fang Ze, bent down, and whispered a few words.

Fang Ze's face instantly darkened, and he frowned as he asked:

"What's he doing here?"

The atmosphere in the conference room instantly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Fang Ze.

Dong Xiao bent down and whispered a few more words in Fang Ze's ear, making Fang Ze's face even more gloomy.

Fang Ze then addressed all the senior executives in the conference room:

"That concludes today's meeting. You may adjourn."

After Fang Ze finished speaking, he got up and left the conference room.

At the entrance to the CEO's office.

Kang Liang stood tall and straight, dressed in a dark suit, exuding a cold and austere aura.

He saw Fang Ze approaching from afar, stepped forward to greet him, and without any unnecessary pleasantries, went straight to the point:

"President Fang, I am Kang Liang, President Yan's assistant. We met at the hospital before."

"I've come to see you today because there's a very important matter concerning the controlling stake in the Fang Group that I need to discuss with you privately."

After a few seconds of silence, Fang Ze walked towards the office door.

He pushed open the office door, stepped inside, and said in a deep voice:

"Come in and let's talk."

Kang Liang nodded, quickly followed him into the office, and closed the door behind him.

Fang Ze sat behind his desk, loosened his tie, and looked at Kang Liang coldly, saying:

"Speak, what is it?"

Kang Liang took a file folder from his briefcase, placed it on the desk, gently pushed it in front of Fang Ze, and said, word by word:

"Mr. Fang, you can take a look at the documents here. These are the proof that Mr. Yan holds 51% of the shares in Fang's Group."

"I'm here to tell you that now, President Yan is the actual controlling shareholder of the Fang Group."

Fang Ze glanced at the file folder on the table, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart, and said calmly:

"Assistant Kang, I am the founder of Fang's Group, and I have always held the largest shareholding. How could Yan Qi possibly hold 51% of the shares?"

"Moreover, if there were a large-scale share transfer within the Fang Group, I couldn't possibly be unaware of it."

Kang Liang calmly explained:

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Yan is the owner of Haicheng Private Equity, which holds 30% of the shares in Fang's Group. You know that, right?"

"Some time ago, President Yan established a new fund company, which has already acquired 15 percent of the shares of Fang's Group."

"The remaining 6% of the shares were transferred to President Yan by your good partner, President Chen, in three installments."

"Since each transfer involves no more than three percent of the shares, there's no need to report it, so you naturally wouldn't know."

"All the information regarding the share transfer is in this document bag. You can take a good look at it to confirm whether what I said is true."

Fang Ze merely glanced at the file folder on the table, without reaching out to open it.

He rested his hands on the table, his fingertips interlaced, maintaining a composed posture.

Fang Ze lowered his eyelashes and fell silent.

He was trying his best to suppress the shock and disbelief surging in his heart.

This disbelief clung to his heart like a poisonous vine, filling him with a near-suffocating panic, yet his face remained calm and composed.

He knew perfectly well that Yan Qi wanted to take everything away from him.

When did Yan Qi set his sights on his Fang Group?

He was completely unaware of this.

Just as he knew nothing about the wife beside him.

He was completely unaware that Yan Qi had stolen his hard work over the years.

My disbelief was mixed with a sense of frustration.

Fang Ze felt as if a cold stone was pressing on his heart, heavy and sluggish, making even his breathing feel cold and labored.

His fingertips were icy cold, but his face remained calm and composed.

Fang Ze's lips curled into a slight smirk, his voice calm and unwavering:

"Tell me, what exactly is your purpose today?"

Kang Liang felt a certain admiration for Fang Ze's composure and calmness, and he replied with a slight smile:

"Mr. Fang, I'm here today not for anything important, just to give you a heads-up as usual."

"Now that President Yan has become the actual controlling shareholder of the Fang Group, all decisions of the Fang Group from now on must be approved by President Yan."

"Of course, President Yan also understands that President Fang has worked hard from dawn to dusk for so many years. Perhaps President Yan will replace the CEO when the next shareholders' meeting of Fang Group is held."

"President Fang, you have worked hard for so many years. Now that the Fang Group is on the right track and developing steadily, it is time for you to step back and take a good rest."

"You can delegate those hard jobs that require getting up early and working late, and making every second count. As the second largest shareholder of Fang's Group, you can just wait at home and collect your dividends."

Kang Liang's words were very eloquent.

What about retiring behind the scenes, what about taking good care of your health, what about just waiting for dividends at home?

That's all bullshit.

Yan Qi simply wanted to remove Fang Ze from all his positions in the Fang Group and ultimately kick him out of the game.

To put it bluntly, Yan Qi has his eye on the core business of the Fang Group, wants to take it over for himself, and then sell it at a high price.

Yan Qi is an investor who only understands finance and not data or code. He would never take charge of a technology company to do product development and promotion.

However, the fact that Yan Qi was able to so directly state his purpose to Fang Ze clearly indicates that he was negotiating terms with Fang Ze.

Kang Liang said, "Perhaps President Yan will replace him with a new CEO."

What Kang Liang didn't say was, "Perhaps President Yan won't replace a CEO."

Under what circumstances should the CEO not be replaced?

Of course, if Fang Ze is obedient, Yan Qi won't change the president.

Yan Qi is using the future of the Fang Group to negotiate with Fang Ze.

Fang Ze gave a soft, mocking laugh and said:

"Yan Qi sent you here just to tell me this?"

Kang Liang knew that Fang Ze had understood the meaning behind his words, so he smiled and continued:

"Of course not."

"Today, Zhao Wen, assistant of Haicheng Private Equity, went to visit Ms. Liang on behalf of the company. For some reason, Zhao Wen was stopped by the bodyguards outside the villa. Please ask Mr. Fang to have the bodyguards let her through."

"Actually, Zhao Wen, the assistant, was only visiting on behalf of Haicheng Private Equity, since Ms. Liang fell into the sea from Haicheng Private Equity's yacht last time."

"Haicheng Private Equity should be responsible for Ms. Liang's health."

Kang Liang's words were a veiled threat to Fang Ze.

Why bring up Haicheng Private Equity's yacht out of the blue? And why bring up Liang Yu's fall into the sea again?

It's all because the surveillance video of Shi Yue pushing Liang Yu into the sea is still in Yan Qi's hands.

Fang Ze gritted his teeth angrily.

Yan Qi is truly despicable.

First they threatened him with the Fang Group, and now they're threatening him with Shi Yue.

He didn't believe that the treacherous and cunning Yan Qi could be sincere towards Liang Yu.

Fang Ze slowly leaned back in his chair, his eyelashes lowered, and remained silent.

On one side is Liang Yu, and on the other side are the Fang Group and Shi Yue.

After much deliberation and weighing of the pros and cons, Fang Ze finally raised his eyelashes, looked calmly at Kang Liang, and said in a deep voice:

"Okay, I'll have the bodyguards let you through."
