Chapter 336: Waiting for Him to Plead

Eric was facing his biggest challenge yet, as Song Mian stole his golden diamond and kept on attacking without giving him a rest. The whole nation now knew of this.

Not only did his shareholders doubt his ability, even his competitors spent big money to make things worse for him.

Yun Xiangxiang finally understood why Song Mian insisted on doing this.

He was telling Eric that he just needed to move a finger to destroy the Cardicra Family.

“But the golden diamond will be stolen goods from now on...” Yun Xiangxiang was planning to ask Percy to embed this into an accessory.

“Who told you it’s stolen goods?” Song Mian was amused, and he pinched Yun Xiangxiang’s nose.

“Are you saying that you’re telling the public you bought it by accident after some time?” Yun Xiangxiang thought this was inappropriate.

This matter would badly impact Song Mian. Even if Eric wouldn’t pursue this when he knew Song Mian was lying, there was a big conglomerate behind him. The Cardicra Family might be the main thing in that conglomerate, but a single-family couldn’t take up such a massive entity.

Even if the Songs’ descendants commandeered the Song Family, everyone in that family had their plans.

If they could find a chance, they would try their best to wrest power without affecting the big picture.

Everyone else in the Cardicra Family would force Eric to use all his resources to find out the culprit behind this, as this was his mistake. Eric couldn’t stop them unless he could offer benefits that were tempting enough.

If he forcefully shut them up, the core members would be disgruntled, and once internal strife was brought up, the business empire could crumble to dust.

“You showed your business acumen when you negotiated the benefits with MonRoe using the black jadeite...” Song Mian didn’t know what he should say.

“I’m not a businessperson, and why should I be calculating when it didn’t even concern my benefits?” Yun Xiangxiang snorted. “You should be afraid of me if I can get to your height.”

“If you want, I can always be afraid of you.” Song Mian took her hand and kissed it.

“Do I look disgusting? What are you afraid of?” Yun Xiangxiang was nitpicking.

“Everything has their counter in this world, and I am only willing to be countered by you,” said Song Mian lovingly. “So, tell me, am I afraid of you?”

“Stop being mushy and tell me how are you going to settle this golden diamond?” Yun Xiangxiang was curious about the result, and since she couldn’t guess what Song Mian was thinking, she didn’t want to waste time doing it.

“I left a slip of paper for him last night. Even if he doesn’t know that the thing I said I would take as your compensation is the golden diamond, he will know I took it after he sees that slip of paper.”

Since Song Mian wanted to scare Eric, he would leave his name.

“He wouldn’t dare come for you once he knows you’re the culprit. You gave him so much trouble both inside and outside so easily, so if he tries to pursue this, he would probably see his life shaved off by ten years.” Yun Xiangxiang mulled it over. “Then how are you going to explain the golden diamond?”

Song Mian released the news of the diamond’s theft on purpose, so if Eric admits to it, he would be admitting that their security system was a joke.

Their competitors would use this to attack them, and the shareholders would start to worry about the other jewelry thieves targeting the Cardi security system with this precedent existing.

If they kept getting broken into, was Cardi’s future worth their money?

Trying to pull the stock prices up and consolidating their status as the industry leader would only be a pipedream.

If Eric refused to admit to the golden diamond being stolen to stop the rumors, he would have to explain where the diamond went.

And where was the diamond? It was on Song Mian’s hands.

Would Eric lie? Of course not, so he would have to beg Song Mian.

“I see!” When Yun Xiangxiang understood it, she looked at Song Mian as if she was worshipping a god.

Eric would have to beg Song Mian and ask him to attest that Eric gave him the golden diamond.

Song Mian was a qualified person to own this, given his status. With that, the golden diamond would not be stolen goods, and Song Mian could use it as he pleased.

Song Mian only took the golden diamond out of so many stones. If he could answer the golden diamond questions, he could say that the security system was attacked, as the other stones were not stolen.

He could say something like they were doing internal testing after they came into contact with a new system, since the doors and other places were untouched, nor were there any signs of struggle.

He would then get two guys to be the ‘traitors’ and tell the public that they were spies from other companies who spread the news to affect Cardi Jewelry negatively.

There would be spies in such a big company, and Eric already knew about them, but he kept them around just in case.

He could even turn the tables and say that this was a plan to weed out the traitors and spies.

Not only could they erase the negative news, but they could also raise their reputation and prove their skills to everyone.

But the key to all that was Song Mian.

A single sentence from him could send the Cardicra Family into chaos, where there would be enemies everywhere, and the same could also deliver them from chaos.

This was Song Mian’s ultimate goal: To make Eric understand clearly that their survival depended on his whim and fancy.

Even if Song Mian didn’t want to help him, he wouldn’t destroy the Cardicra Family, but the chaos they were facing would take a long time to calm down.

They would be severely injured even if they were not destroyed.

“That’s cruel of you.” Yun Xiangxiang didn’t know what else she could say.

She couldn’t imagine how much pain Eric had to go through when he had to beg Song Mian to calm the storm Song Mian made, even when Eric knew he started all of this.

The highest form of torture was never in terms of flesh but in terms of psychology and spirit.

“Anyone who dares to harm you must pay dearly.” Song Mian hugged Yun Xiangxiang.

He knew how many admirers he had, whether on the surface or behind the curtains. He seldom attended any social events, but he would meet his patients’ family members whenever he would go to their homes to treat them.

Many people wished to arrange a marriage of convenience with him, and they introduced him fervently to their relatives’ kids.

Faye was just the beginning. Not everyone was as crazy as she was, but he had to take some preventive measures.

If that were the case, he would use this chance to warn everyone who wanted to harm Yun Xiangxiang to consider if they could take the force of his revenge.

Yun Xiangxiang thought this was cruel enough, but Qi Jun knew Song Mian didn’t cause any real damage.

He only showed mercy because Yun Xiangxiang didn’t want to trouble everyone for revenge.

Compared to how he used to exact his vengeance, this was just a slap on the wrist. It was a firm slap, but a slap nonetheless.

“Has he called you?” It had been a few hours since then, and Eric should have come to him to plead long ago.

“He called me three times, but I didn’t pick up.” Song Mian grinned at Yun Xiangxiang.
