After he came out of the house, Jian Yubo did not leave immediately.
Instead, he went to the banyan tree and sat down. He had his back against the tree trunk.
With a light breeze blowing gently on his face, he closed his eyes. It was as though he was asleep. His expression was incredibly serene.
With his right hand, he strummed the bead bracelet that he wore on his left wrist.
The image that came to his mind was that of Jian Yiling. He had met her just then.
Gradually, his expression became more peaceful.
However suddenly, the image of He Yan tearing up his books and records for Go surfaced in his mind again.
Then, he felt the burning pain of boiling water on his back. It was as if the area on his back was still throbbing with pain after all these years.
Jian Yubo’s eyes snapped open. He got up and left the Old Jian Residence.

That evening, Grandpa Jian called Jian Shuxing and Jian Yuncheng to his study.
The three of them talked for a long time in Grandpa Jian’s study.
The business of the Jian family had run into a bit of a problem. Until now, the business had been managed by Jian Shuxing and Jian Shuhong.
As of now, it was not a big problem.
However, Jian Yubo had visited Grandpa Jian today.
Only then did Grandpa Jian realize how big the problem was.
He also understood how the problems had come about.

The problem hadn’t come about in a day. It had been done over many years. There was embezzlement on the inside and attacks from the outside.
And the culprit behind all of this was no other than Jian Yubo.
Jian Yubo had spent years doing things that were detrimental to the Jian family’s business.
Today, he had laid out all the options available to the family in front of Grandpa Jian.
Before he came, it was obvious that he had already reckoned with all the possibilities. He had already blocked all the possible paths for the Jian family.
Furthermore, every possibility that he provided was not good for the family. At the very least, it would cause the family to suffer a great deal of damage.
In the end, he asked Grandpa Jian to hand over the business to him. If Grandpa Jian did that, he would stop his plans.
Otherwise, everything that he planned would happen. All the crises that Jian Yubo had told him about would become a reality.
For the first time in his life, Grandpa Jian felt threatened. And he was being threatened by his own grandson!
Grandpa Jian was so angry that he smashed everything in front of him.
However, Jian Yubo still looked incredibly calm when this had happened. He was expressionless. It was as if he had expected such a reaction from his grandpa.
Then, he coldly told Grandpa Jian that he couldn’t change or interfere with any of his plans even if he killed him right now.
“Why would Yubo do that?” Jian Shuxing asked. He was incredibly confused. “If he wanted the Jian family’s business, he wouldn’t need to do such a thing. He could inherit at least half of the family business in the first place. Does he want everything? Is that why…”
Neither Jian Yumin and Jian Yujie wanted to inherit the Jian family’s business.
Before today, Jian Shuhong had even made plans to later hand over the part of the Jian family business that he managed to his nephew, Jian Yuncheng.
However, if Jian Yubo wanted a part of the family business, he could easily take the part that Jian Shuhong was managing right now. He didn’t need to fight for it.
Grandpa Jian shook his head and said: “If he made it this far already, that means the power that he has gathered over these years is not necessarily less than our family’s.”
Although it was hard to believe, the reality was in front of him. Grandpa Jian couldn’t help but believe what he had been told.
That meant that what Jian Yubo possessed right now could at least match the Jian family. It was even possible that he could surpass the Jian family’s business as of now. If he couldn’t, there was no point in saying the things that he had in the afternoon.
“Then, why is he doing this? What’s the reason behind his actions?” Jian Shuxing asked. Grandpa Jian’s words made him even more confused.
