"Are you going back with me?" Liu Qiyue looked at Jiang Che with a strange expression, unable to decipher his intentions. She knew that he definitely had no good plans in mind.
"Yes, I will go back with you," Jiang Che replied, nodding with an evil smile. He had his own motives for returning to the Lin family with Liu Qiyue—his plan involved killing.
"Then wait for me to deal with these people first." Liu Qiyue glanced at Jiang Che, suspecting that he intended to provoke Lin Tiannan upon their return. However, she didn't object; in fact, she felt a thrill of excitement! With the evidence Jiang Che provided, it was time for her showdown with Lin Tiannan. After years of planning, she finally had her opportunity.
"No problem," Jiang Che agreed. He knew that Lin Fan was returning to Jiangbei City the next day. Liu Qiyue intended to clean up the Lin Group, and he planned to follow her back to the Lin family to ensure Lin Tiannan could not see his son one last time. Thinking about this gave Jiang Che a morbid sense of pleasure and anticipation.
Liu Qiyue took her phone and the documents, then left the office directly. Jiang Che, feeling bored, took out his phone to play with it.
After exiting the CEO's office, Liu Qiyue first found Lin Hao, who was leisurely drinking tea in his own office. Her sudden arrival surprised him.
"Sister-in-law, what brings you here?" Lin Hao stood up from his chair, a smile on his face. Although Liu Qiyue was the president of Lin's Group, he called her "sister-in-law" in private.
"It seems you're quite relaxed," Liu Qiyue sneered, fixing Lin Hao with a cold stare.
"Ha ha..." Lin Hao continued to smile, confused by her abrupt demeanor. Although he did not have much respect for Liu Qiyue, he had never openly offended her either.
In reality, Liu Qiyue was an outsider, and most of the top management of Lin's Group were family members. Only a few supported her, making her position fragile.
"Look at this!" Without wasting any time, Liu Qiyue tossed the documents Jiang Che had given her onto Lin Hao's desk.
Lin Hao picked up the document with a puzzled expression and began reading. Suddenly, his pupils dilated in shock as he absorbed the information. The document revealed that he had embezzled 1 billion from Lin's funds five times over the past few years.
While astonished, Lin Hao also felt bewildered. He believed he had covered his tracks well; how had Liu Qiyue uncovered this? Now he understood her visit's purpose—she was here to confront him!
"Sister-in-law... I..." Lin Hao opened his mouth, preparing to explain, but Liu Qiyue cut him off before he could finish.
"Don't call me sister-in-law; call me president!" Liu Qiyue said firmly, her brow furrowed. She was impatient with the title.
"President, please let me explain."
"You don't need to explain; the evidence is right in front of you. What else is there to say?" Liu Qiyue's tone was cold. "I will report this to the police, and you'll find yourself in a difficult situation."
"Even if it reaches the Lin family, those elders won't defend you," she added sternly. Over the years, Lin's family business had flourished because its members worked hard. No one would embezzle or misuse the company's funds. The dividends at the end of the year were sufficient for them, negating the need for theft.
When Liu Qiyue learned of Lin Hao's actions, her initial reaction was shock.
"T..." Lin Hao stammered. "President, please give me a chance. I won't do it again. I will return the money I took." He begged, desperation clear in his voice.
He knew that if this matter went public, he would not only be expelled from the Lin family but might also end up in prison. After all, embezzling a billion was no small offense.
"Return?" Liu Qiyue scoffed. "Just stay put. Once your position is vacant, I can arrange for someone of my choosing to take your place."
She laughed mockingly, belittling Lin Hao's stupidity. She had wanted to replace him for some time but had lacked the opportunity due to his family ties. However, with his current actions, he had handed her the leverage she needed.
"No problem! I promise to listen to the president. Whatever you ask me to do, I will comply," Lin Hao replied eagerly.
"If you are sensible, then get up," Liu Qiyue ordered. Lin Hao stood, an ingratiating smile plastered across his face.
"First thing's first," Liu Qiyue continued. "Lin Fan is returning to Jiangbei City tomorrow. If he attempts to enter the company for development, you must oppose him."
"Lin Fan is coming back?" Lin Hao was momentarily stunned, confusion washing over his features. The family had believed Lin Fan was dead for eight years. Now, he was returning?
Lin Hao understood Liu Qiyue's motive; she wanted him to prevent Lin Fan from inheriting the Lin family legacy. He recognized that if Lin Fan returned, Lin Tiannan would likely name him the heir, sidelining Liu Qiyue.
"Why? You don't want to?" Liu Qiyue pressed, noticing Lin Hao's hesitation.
"No, I'm willing." Lin Hao took a deep breath, resolving to set aside his feelings for Lin Fan. In the end, he could not afford to take a stand for his cousin.
"You're reasonable," Liu Qiyue said, giving him a cold look before departing.
After her departure, Lin Hao sighed, sensing the winds of change approaching the Lin family.
Once Liu Qiyue left Lin Hao's office, she found other executives with evidence on her phone. The method she used to confront Lin Hao would work on the other members of the board as well.
After successfully taking control of the other executives, she returned to her office and located Jiang Che.
It was seven o'clock in the evening, and darkness had begun to envelop the sky.
"Did everything go smoothly?" Jiang Che asked, yawning and putting his phone away. He had been watching short videos all afternoon, and boredom was setting in.
"It's over; everything went well." Liu Qiyue replied, a smile of satisfaction spreading across her face. "Those guys didn't resist at all once I caught them."
She felt a long-lost happiness, something she hadn't experienced in years. She knew that she owed her success to Jiang Che, and her feelings toward him were complex—admiration mixed with gratitude.
"You should smile more; you look charming when you do," Jiang Che said, teasingly.
"Flattery will get you nowhere," Liu Qiyue replied, rolling her eyes at him.
"Alright, let's go."
"Don't you want to see Lin Tiannan? That guy is deeply poisoned now; he sleeps early every day. If you don't go now, he'll probably be asleep."
As Liu Qiyue observed Lin Tiannan's condition, she noticed he had become more lethargic. With each passing day, he needed more and more medicine to maintain his composure.
"Don't worry. Just have the documents ready for me."
"When the time comes, have Lin Tiannan pass on all the shares and the chairman position to you."
Liu Qiyue nodded, taking out her phone to make a call and giving some instructions. Although she had long considered this move, she never had the right opportunity.
The Lin family was efficient, and soon a secretary delivered two contracts to Liu Qiyue.
After receiving the contracts, Liu Qiyue wasted no time, taking Jiang Che and leaving Lin's Group. The driver took them straight to the Lin family manor.
While in the car, Jiang Che didn't feel secure and raised the soundproof glass between the front and back seats of the Bentley. The glass had excellent sound insulation, allowing for privacy in their conversation.
"What are you doing?" Liu Qiyue's face flushed slightly, and she shot Jiang Che an annoyed glance. For half an hour they talked about life in the car...
Once they arrived at the Lin family manor, Jiang Che and Liu Qiyue exited the vehicle.
"What a ghost!" Liu Qiyue exclaimed, twisting Jiang Che's waist in annoyance. She had not anticipated that he would be so bold!
In just half an hour, this guy actually made her drink milk!
Jiang Che observed her without flinching; he found her attempts to intimidate him amusing.
Afraid of being seen by others, Liu Qiyue did not go too far.
Just twisting his waist, she withdrew her hand, wiped the corner of her mouth, and led Jiang Che directly towards the manor.
After entering the manor, they were greeted by the household staff.
"Madam..." "Hello, Madam..."
As they walked through, the servants greeted Liu Qiyue, but she was too focused on her thoughts to respond.
"Lin Tiannan is in this room. Tell me, what do you want to do?" She asked Jiang Che, leading him to Lin Tiannan's room. After sending away all the servants, Liu Qiyue looked at Jiang Che with some doubts and curiosity, unsure of his intentions.
The corner of Jiang Che's mouth curled up into an evil smile, he directly put his arms around Liu Qiyue's waist, opened the door and walked in.
In the room, Lin Tiannan was sitting on a chair looking out of the window in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
After noticing the sound of someone opening the door, Lin Tiannan turned his head directly.
When he saw Lin Qiyue, his face brightened and he was about to speak, but his eyes turned and he saw Jiang Che who was holding her waist...
Lin Tiannan was directly stunned, stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, and looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.
He never thought that Liu Qiyue would directly bring a wild man directly at his house!
And it seems that the two have a very close relationship, so they must have been together for a long time now!
"Qiyue, what do you mean by bringing a man here?"
Lin Tiannan forcibly held back the anger in his heart, and looked at Lin Qiyue with a gloomy expression.
Although he had doubts about Lin Qiyue for a long time in his heart, there was no evidence, and Lin Tiannan didn't think much about it.
Unexpectedly, today Lin Qiyue brought another man home directly. Isn't this slapping him directly in the face.
"What do you think?" Liu Qiyue replied mockingly, her tone dripping with disdain. She stepped closer to Jiang Che and even kissed him, deliberately showing off their closeness. "I brought him here to show you exactly how little respect I have for you."
She had wanted to take revenge on Lin Tiannan for a long time, but she never had the right opportunity.
Seeing Lin Tiannan's ashen expression, Liu Qiyue felt very happy in her heart!
Lin Tiannan's eyes were bloodshot red, staring at Lin Qiyue fiercely, his whole body was trembling due to anger.
How could Lin Tiannan remain indifferent to this kind of humiliation of being cheated on?
"You, Come here!"
Lin Tiannan used all his strength and started yelling, trying to attract the attention of the servants outside.
"You don't have to shout, those servants have already been sent away by me."
Lin Qiyue glanced at Lin Tiannan, and said calmly.
Before bringing Jiang Che in, she had anticipated all this, so she let the servants leave the villa in advance.
"Why?"
Lin Tiannan eyes were as red as they could be, staring at Lin Qiyue firmly.
The shame and humiliation of being betrayed made him very angry.
