Chapter 331: Chapter 331: Show Mercy Chapter 331: Chapter 331: Show Mercy HI Group, President’s Office.

He Jingyao finished reviewing the document in his hand and saw that it was not yet five o’clock.

He wondered what Su Zixi, that woman, was doing.

He curled his fingers and gently tapped on the desktop, feeling itchily impatient, but it wasn’t yet time to leave work, and this little woman probably would not be willing to come up to see him.

Since he had developed a taste for her, his desire for her had not only not diminished, but had become even more intense.

For the first time, he immensely disliked his inability to approach women; otherwise, he could have actively shown up at her office and taken her away.

He Jingyao thought deeply, his face serious, when suddenly Adam walked in, “President, Mr. Feng Qian is outside waiting for you.”

Feng Qian? It probably had something to do with Xia Xinyu.

He Jingyao gathered his thoughts and nodded lightly, “Let him come in.”

Soon, Feng Qian appeared in his office, clutching a stack of documents.

“Mr. He,” he said with a radiant face.

He Jingyao lifted the corners of his lips, “It seems you have made some gains?”

Feng Qian smiled, “Correct. Xia Xinyu provided quite a bit of information about her relationship with He Yizheng.”

As he spoke, he handed over the documents in his hand, “Her signed statement, recordings, and some photos and video materials she provided, although not many, but I think they should be sufficient to achieve your purpose.”

He Jingyao smiled slightly, “Well done.”

With this information in hand, he could provide it to the board of directors when necessary. Of course, this evidence could not convict He Yizheng, but it was enough to make the board lose confidence in him.

“Why did Xia Xinyu suddenly change her mind?” He Jingyao quickly flipped through the documents once more, placing them on the desk with a tone of interest, “Did she make any requests?”

“She begs you to spare her parents’ lives.” After Xia Xinyu decided to cooperate, Feng Qian felt more sympathetic toward her and didn’t mind speaking a few good words on her behalf, “She said she’s willing to go to jail and doesn’t dare to hope that you will spare the Xia Family, she just hopes for your mercy.”

Show mercy.

He Jingyao let out a playful smile, “Considering she’s willing to cooperate, it’s not impossible.”

With that, he dialed a number and called Adam in.

“President,” Adam approached him respectfully.

“The acquisition of the Xia Family can start now,” He Jingyao thought for a moment, “Raise the purchase price by thirty percent.”

“No problem,” Adam’s spirits lifted.

The President had already instructed him to prepare this case; now it could finally be implemented.

“Oh, and by the way,” He Jingyao smiled, “for that project on Qilles Road, push the price as low as possible, but make it up in other areas.”

Although Adam didn’t understand the reasoning, he still respectfully agreed.

After the two left, He Jingyao’s gaze once again fell on Xia Xinyu’s statement. Had he not seen this statement, he wouldn’t have realized the extent of resentment his uncle harbored against him.

Since He Yizheng had invested in this project, he shouldn’t expect to break even.

In the office, colleagues had gradually left work one after another, but Su Zixi was still buried in her work.

“Zhixi, continue tomorrow. The release is the day after tomorrow; we still have time tomorrow,” a colleague advised her.

“It’s okay, I’ll finish this up; you guys go ahead,” Su Zixi smiled and waved her hand.

The colleagues did not insist, greeted her, and then left, gradually leaving only Su Zixi alone in the large office.
