Chapter 958 Replacing the Existing One

Although Qiao Shianxing's car had been modified with thickened steel plates, increasing the overall weight of the vehicle to two and a half tons—equivalent to an armored vehicle—it was still no match for a dump truck that weighed twenty times more! In this position, the guardrails on the highway had already been destroyed. A loud crash echoed as the two vehicles collided forcefully.
The Mercedes-Benz driver's emergency swerve avoided a head-on collision but exposed the side of the vehicle to the front of the dump truck instead.
Under the powerful and fierce impact, the Mercedes-Benz was pushed out beyond the destroyed guardrails. The following dump truck couldn't stop in time and rolled down the slope along with it!
Qiao Shianxing, who had been sleeping soundly, woke up abruptly from the loud crash, followed by a violent roll of the vehicle that caused his head to collide violently with the window before he passed out.
The next day, Shangguan Shishi continued her aggressive negotiations. This time around, Qiao Shianxing didn't show up himself; furthermore, no one knew where the eldest grandson of the Qiao family was.
Since the representative who replaced Qiao Shianxing lacked decision-making power, he fell completely at a disadvantage under Shangguan Shishi's relentless pressure, with nowhere to turn and no sense of initiative whatsoever.
At the same time, other members of the Qiao family were in a state of chaos, like ants on a hot pot!
Qiao Chengying suddenly left for overseas at the last minute without explanation. The person in charge, Qiao Shianxing, was also nowhere to be found and couldn't be contacted, while Third Uncle Qiao Chenglin was bedridden with his legs completely paralyzed—there was no hope for him either! Were they going to have to ask Old Master Qiao to step out of retirement
Moreover, the next day was Old Master's one hundred first birthday!
"Jo Jing really is a disaster! She just came back to Hong Kong two days ago, and already everything in the whole Jo family has been turned upside down!" Qiao Xuebing was pacing around the room with her arms folded, her face gloomy. The entire Jo household lacked leadership; if Qiao Shangxing were to go missing for a few more days, it seemed that the Jo mansion would be in jeopardy!
"But what can we do We can't even get in touch with Big Brother now!" Qiao Hanbing was also looking dejected. With Jo Jing's arrival already causing panic among the Jo family members, the strange disappearance of Qiao Shangxing, who is currently in charge, added a tinge of fear to the situation.
"The immediate priority is to find Big Brother; only he can stabilize things." Fourth brother Qiao Shanzen said from the side.
"It's rumored that Big Brother went missing midway after leaving Uncle Three's hospital. We've already arranged for police to search along the route, and we should receive news soon."
"There are cameras on the roads, can't we just check the surveillance footage" Qiao Shanzen asked doubtfully. He couldn’t understand why, under modern technological conditions, the police were so inefficient; they were merely looking for a car in Hong Kong, and it was taking so long
"There was a large-scale power outage last night in the northern district. The roads were pitch black with no traffic lights working, making surveillance cameras useless." Qiao Hanbing’s words sparked concern in Qiao Shanzen.
“Could this be deliberate Causing Jo Shangxing to go missing, thereby...” Upon considering the possibility of this situation, Qiao Shanzen couldn't help but start trembling!
If Jo Shangxing were to disappear at such a critical moment, who would benefit most from this event
Of course, it was Jo Jing! Only she had the power for something like this! This terrifying woman always managed to evoke deep-seated fear in people.
"It's got to be Jo Jing; there’s no doubt about it!" Qiao Shanzen clenched his fists tightly. If not for that woman, he really couldn't think of anyone else capable of such a thing!
“If something happens to Big Brother, then Jo Jing will become the prime suspect.” Qiao Hanbing also agreed; all they could do now was wait for news about Qiao Shangxing.
"This damned woman!"
However, they hoped that the news from the police would not be bad.
"Second Brother, come over here. I have something to say to you alone," Qiao Xuebing glanced at Qiao Hanbing and then said to Qiao Shanercun.
Qiao Hanbing was immediately displeased but didn't say anything; she just gave a cold snort before walking out.
"Why do you have to make it so mysterious What kind of timing is this" Qiao Shanercun's brows slightly furrowed. He had no idea what his sister was up to.
"Second Brother, haven't you noticed anything" Qiao Xuebing looked around suspiciously before whispering.
"Notice what"
"An opportunity has arisen."
"What kind of opportunity" Qiao Shanercun was even more confused about his sister's words.
"Of course, it's your opportunity," said Qiao Xuebing with a glance at her second brother.
"My opportunity What do you mean by that" Suddenly, Qiao Shanercun felt that the Qiao Xuebing in front of him seemed unfamiliar. He couldn't explain where this feeling came from.
"It's quite simple." Due to Qiao Shanchun's lack of initiative, Qiao Xuebing was a bit anxious: "Think about it. Qiao Shanxing has gone missing and is completely unreachable. At this moment, who should be in charge of the Qiao family"
Qiao Shanchun still frowned: "What do you mean by that..."
"Seize the opportunity to take his place!" A trace of ruthlessness appeared on Qiao Xuebing's face! Such a ruthless expression was completely out of place for her delicate features!
"Take over from Qiao Shanxing" Hearing her sister's words, Qiao Shanchun trembled all over and wore an incredulous expression.
"Yes. Do you think you can't do it" Looking at her indecisive second brother, a faint sneer appeared on Qiao Xuebing's face. With such a huge opportunity in front of them, if they couldn’t seize it now, they would be almost as good as fools.
"It’s not that I can't do it; rather, I don't want to…"
"You don't want to Then have you ever wanted to before You've always been at odds with Qiao Shanxing. Wasn’t the whole point to get this chance to replace him But now that the opportunity is right in front of us, and you still won't act on it—this is a total waste!" Qiao Xuebing said angrily; she really couldn’t understand why her brother wouldn’t take action when there was such an obvious opportunity.
"Currently, the Qiao family has reached its most critical moment. I can't cause internal strife at this time. We must cooperate closely to defeat Qiao Jing." After a brief hesitation, Qiao Shanchun shook his head: "If I step forward now, people will despise me, and I wouldn’t be able to justify it in my own conscience."
"How can you say that your conscience won't allow you This is completely fair and aboveboard!" Qiao Xuebing was really worried. Her second brother had many good qualities, but he was too indecisive!
“Qiao Shanxing has gone missing now, and the vast Qiao family doesn’t even have a leader to make decisions. If you don't step up, who will This is completely reasonable!”
"Just like back then when Qiao Jing went missing; didn't Qiao Shanxing quickly step forward at that time and directly solidify his position as the successor Second brother, why won’t you think about it"done such an action. Could it be that spending too much time around so many beauties has weakened his resistanceWang Zheng firmly believed in his willpower, thus there could only be one reason for thi...
