At six oâclock in the evening, Han Jinlei and Zhao Guoping gathered together.
âWhatâs going on with Li Zhenâs side? Theyâve prepared so much evidence, but Meiguo still hasnât decided. What the hell is going on?â Zhao Guoping said.
It had been more than 20 hours since Li Zhen was captured.
However, during this period of time, Li Zhen and Han Jinlei did not lose contact with him.
All of this was Shen Shuyiâs doing. Her goal was to get more useful evidence from Han Jinlei.
The more things she obtained, the higher her chances of winning.
âThis is within my expectations.â Han Jinlei placed the cup back on the table and said.
âIâm guessing that Lin Yi is making a final struggle. After all, heâs not someone to be underestimated. Although we have evidence in our hands, we canât kill him on the spot. We might have to wait for a while.â
âIâm just a little anxious. His company can be said to be at the forefront of the semiconductor industry. If we can seize it, we will have the final say in the future semiconductor field. No one can imagine how profitable it will be.â
âDonât be anxious. Good things come to those who wait. The person who sanctioned him is Meiguo. He canât avoid it. We just have to continue preparing evidence.â
âThis day has finally come. Weâve sacrificed too much.â
Han Jinlei nodded, âSince things have come to this, I guess it should be over in a day or two. Lin Yi is about to exit the history books.â
It was past ten in the evening. Lin Yi was still at the Lingyun Group and had not gone home.
After work, Ji Qingyan arrived, along with Qi Xianzhao and He Yuanyuan.
On the coffee table in the office was also supper that he had just finished eating and had not had time to clean up.
âBoss, the various departments are almost ready. When do you plan to make a move?â He Yuanyuan asked.
âDonât be anxious. Iâm waiting for a notice. I think itâs about time.â
The few of them did not know who Lin Yi was waiting for, but they could vaguely guess that the person who their boss was waiting for must have a high status in Huaxia.
It might even affect the direction of this matter.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Lin Yiâs phone rang. It was a message from an unknown number. There were only two words on it.
âTake action!â
Lin Yi immediately guessed that this was Shen Shuyiâs way of preventing others from noticing.
Lin Yi wanted to laugh when he saw the message on his phone.
He felt that it was a little cruel.
In the past, when they watched movies, the big shots who dealt in contraband there were all smart. Now, it seemed that they had learned it from these big shots.
Lin Yi stood up and stretched. âTell the various departments to start working!â
âOkay!â
With Lin Yiâs order, Qi Xianzhao and He Yuanyuan walked out of the office and prepared to arrange the next step.
The two of them were Lin Yiâs most trusted aides. Forget the huge risk involved, even if they were asked to die, they would do it as long as Lin Yi gave the order.
After the two of them left, only Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan were left in the office.
However, Ji Qingyan had also been busy with the matter at hand and did not want to miss anything.
She didnât try to dissuade Lin Yi. This was a huge risk, and she wanted him to be careful.
Moreover, she was already used to his behavior.
No matter what happened, she would stand with Lin Yi.
Instead of persuading him, it was better to firmly support him.
And she had long been prepared to live a normal life with Lin Yi.
Hence, she had no qualms about this.
No matter what it was, she was not afraid.
âStop reading. Youâve been reading it all night. Can your eyes really handle it?â Lin Yi said.
âItâs fine, itâs not a big problem,â said Ji Qingyan.
âI think the other party might use the fact that it is a monopoly to make an issue out of it, so we have to be more careful so that we donât get caught.â
âIt canât be helped. Itâs already developed to this point. Thereâs nothing we can do, but you donât have to worry too much, because itâs completely out of our control,â Lin Yi said.
âIf their case succeeds and leads to us being labeled a monopoly, at most, there will be some reprimands or penalties, but nothing too severe. If it doesnât succeed, whether it is considered a monopoly or not, the ultimate outcome will be the same.â
Ji Qingyan rested her cheek on her hand. âYouâre right.â
âAre you afraid that 1â11 lose?â Lin Yi asked with a smile.
âIâm not afraid.â
âYou have so much confidence in me?â
âItâs not that I have confidence in you, but Iâve saved two billion yuan in the Swiss bank. Itâs enough for us to live on for the rest of our lives. Even if you want to make a comeback, itâs enough. Therefore, Iâm not afraid of any business in Zhonghai.â
âSo youâve got a backup plan. But I have a question.â
âWhat kind of problems?â
âWith Chaoyangâs size, you shouldnât be able to deposit 2 billion yuan in savings, right?â
âI only offered 300 million. The rest of the money was paid for by the Lingyun Group.â
âHuh? You took out so much money? Why didnât I know?â
âYuanyuan is amazing.â
âDonât tell me you two are in cahoots.â
âI told her my thoughts before, and she wanted to test her ability to transfer assets and embezzle public funds.â
âIt turns out that Yuanyuan is quite capable. She transferred 1.7 billion yuan without any mistakes. Do you want to consider giving her a raise?â
âDamn it, I want to kill her!â
Ji Qingyan rocked back and forth in laughter. âDonât be so agitated. We were just playing around. Didnât I tell you already? Anyway, this is our emergency fund. You can do whatever you want with Lingyun Group and Chaoyang Group, but donât even think about touching a single cent of this two billion.â
âYes, yes, yes, I wonât.â Lin Yi smiled. âWith so much money, forget the two of us, itâs enough to support a nest of children.â
âTsk, Iâm going to give birth to a big fat boy. Iâm not going to give birth to a nest.â
âWhat if the first child is a girl?â
âThen, letâs have a second child.â Ji Qingyan grinned.
âActually, Iâd rather have both a son and a daughter, but I prefer that the first child is an older brother, so he can protect the younger sister.â
âThatâs a good idea. Iâll take off my pants.â
âHooligan.â
Lin Yi gently hugged Ji Qingyan as he looked out the window at the myriad of lights outside. He felt that Ji Qingyan behind him, the future was still something to look forward to.
Creakâ¦
At this moment, He Yuanyuan pushed open the door and entered. She was holding a stack of documents in her hand and was really flipping through them with her head lowered. She did not see the two of them hugging.
âBoss, the people below have all started, both domestically and internationallyâ¦â
He Yuanyuan stopped mid-sentence.
Because she realized that Lin Yi was looking at her in a bad way.
âYou, why are you looking at me like that? Although Iâm wearing a skirt today, there are safety pants under it. You canât see anything.â
âDonât you know what youâve done?â
âAh, thisâ¦â
He Yuanyuan stuttered and looked uneasy.
âI was upset a few days ago and went to the bar to have a drink with a young man. But how did you know about this?â He Yuanyuan said.
âBut for the record, I took a cab home after drinking. I didnât do any of that nonsense. Iâm sorry about Gao.â
âWhat the f*ck, we suddenly got some unexpected gains?!â
Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan looked at each other. âThis is getting interesting.â
âHmm? What unexpected gains?â
He Yuanyuan was stunned. âF*ck, was that not what youâre talking about? Damn it, you fooled me.â
âDidnât the two of us take out 1.7 billion previously? I told Lin Yi,â Ji Qingyan said resentfully.
âSo thatâs it.â He Yuanyuan heaved a sigh of relief and patted her chest.
âHow is it, Boss? I took out 1.7 billion behind your back. Iâm not bragging, but in the entire Huaxia, even in the entire world, not many people have my skills.â
âThen why donât I give you a promotion and raise your salary?â
âThereâs no need for that. Iâm already quite satisfied with the CFO position. Thereâs no need for me to be on equal footing with Brother Qi.â He Yuanyuan coughed a few times. âHowever, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. I wonât talk to you anymore. Iâll leave first.â
âGet your *ss back here!â
Lin Yi cursed, âYou took out 1.7 billion. I want to throw you off the building now.â
âAlright, alright. The two of you can stop quarreling.â
âIâm the one who made the decision. Are you going to throw me down? Seriously.â
âHow is that possible? 1â11 only throw He Yuanyuan. Youâre so thin that youâll be blown away by the wind. Youâre not like He Yuanyuan, who can smash a hole in the ground.â
âF*ck, Iâm not that fat!â
âAlright, stop dawdling. Letâs get down to business,â Lin Yi said.
âHowâs the deployment going? The trolls should have started working.â
âItâs exploding. The effect is better than we imagined.â He Yuanyuan said.
âMany people have taken the bait. The popularity on the Internet is also gradually rising. Some people even labeled them as traitors. I didnât expect this. The complexity of the matter and the spread of the news have exceeded my imagination. The effect might be greater than we imagined.â
âAt this point, itâs useless to think about anything else. Donât worry and do it boldly. In any case, thereâs no substantial evidence. As long as we can hide it from those onlookers, itâs fine.â
âAnyway, Iâm not afraid of anything. Even if we lose, I still have our Old Gao. I can still live a good life.â
âFrom the looks of it, Old Qi is a little pitiful. Heâs still alone.â
âI think Director Tian is a pretty good person. How about introducing her to Brother Qi?â Ji Qingyan suggested.
âIf you want to find a partner for Brother Qi, itâs better not to do so at the main company,â He Yuanyuan said.
âNow, throughout Lingyun Group, from 40-year-old married women to recent masterâs graduates in their 20s, anyone you bring forward in front of the boss act infatuated, like young girls experiencing their first love. Other men no longer catch their attention. So, when it comes to this matter, we need to target people outside the company.â
Ji Qingyan looked at Lin Yi suspiciously. âYouâre quite popular in the company.â
âNaturally. If one day the boss cheats, I can guarantee that no woman will be spared.â
Ji Qingyanâs pretty face turned cold.
Lin Yi, ââ¦â
F*ck!
âDonât look at me. I donât even come to the company a few times a month. This has nothing to do with me.â
âTsk.â
Yanjing, Ministry Courtyard.
By midnight, most of the people had already fallen asleep.
Zhao Guoping was the same.
Ring ring ring!
A Huawei phone on the bedside table rang. It was extremely abrupt in the silent night.
However, no one picked up after it rang a few times until the call ended.
In less than a second, the phone rang again, but Zhao Guoping was still sleeping soundly.
Only the third time, Zhao Guoping suddenly sat up from the bed. His expression was ugly, and cold sweat had already seeped out of his forehead.
He had two phones. The one he usually used would turn on flight mode around 11 p.m. to prevent others from disturbing his rest. However, the other phone was always switched off. Only the people closest to him knew about it.
Only under extremely special circumstances would someone call this phone number and contact him.
Therefore, every time this phone rang, Zhao Guoping would be terrified and anxious.
Under normal circumstances, if something good happened, they would not reach him through this line. No one would be in such a hurry to contact him unless something bad happened.
Zhao Guoping hurriedly picked up his phone and realized that the person who called was his assistant. He calmed down before picking up the call.
âDirector Zhao is in trouble. Meiguo didnât punish Lin Yi. He has already returned to the country and is targeting us.â
The assistantâs voice was deafening, as if he might not be able to finish speaking if he didnât hurry.
Zhao Guoping was stunned. It took him a long time to react.
âThatâs impossible. We were so well-prepared. Besides, heâs committed such a huge crime. Meiguo wouldnât let him off!â
âI donât know what happened either, but he did come back. The news on the Internet is overwhelming. The Wang family and the Han family are also implicated. It has reached an uncontrollable level.â
âSend it to me. Hurry up.â
âOkay.â
The assistant hung up the phone and sent all the news online to Zhao Guoping.
Seeing the overwhelming surge of news, Zhao Guoping was dumbfounded.
It was early in the morning, but the traffic in Yanjing was still heavy.
A rich young master who was having fun every night brought his female companion to the hotel.
There were also people who left the nightclub and were going for their second round of partying.
The working class, who were still entitled to the â996â work schedule, were exhaustedly driving back home.
Of course, there were also high-ranking officials and nobles who had just finished their social gathering and were on their way home. Han Jinlei and Fu Yahui were two of them.
The two of them had just finished eating with the Wang family and discussed Lin Yiâs situation together, preparing to carve up all the businesses under him.
âHowâs the situation in Meiguo? Is there no verdict yet?â Fu Yahui looked at her watch. âIt should be around one oâclock in Meiguo now.â
âLi Zhen said that everything went smoothly, but Lin Yi hasnât given up yet. If it wasnât for the Liang family supporting him, he would be finished now.â
âThe Liang family is really in the way. Canât they see the current situation? Shen Shuyi isnât such a stupid person to go against our three families for Lin Yiâs sake.â
âWell, she and Qin Yingyue were old friends back then. Lin Yi is her son, so sheâll definitely do his best to help,â Han Jinlei said.
âBut itâs useless. They have no chance of winning.â
âThatâs true, but we canât underestimate Lin Yi or Shen Shuyi.â
âDonât worry, Iâve already contacted Li Zhen just now. He told me that Lin Yi is still struggling on the verge of death, but Meiguo is well prepared. Regardless of whether thereâs a sufficient reason or evidence, theyâll arrest him. His Lingyun Group is finished. We ll just prepare to take over..â
