Chapter 401: Chapter 401: Waiting to Watch the Drama

Seeing the announcement, Lin Tiancheng anxiously sought out Elder Lin, "Dad, the Qiao Family is serious, it seems they really want that money back."

"They’re still playing games, saying they’ll release a bomb at seven to give us some time to make a decision," Lin Qingshi sneered. "It’s just child’s play, do they really think I’ll fall for that?"

"Dad, are you saying the Qiao Family wouldn’t dare to go all out?" Lin Tiancheng clung to a hope inside, not wanting any of this to be real.

"Yes, in my opinion, they just want to threaten us into paying, they don’t dare to take real action." Lin Qingshi frowned and said in a low voice, "That girl Qiao Liu talks tough, but it’s just child’s behavior, thinking that we’ll be scared by this."

"But dad, what if they are serious?" Lin Tiancheng asked worriedly.

"What are you afraid of?" Elder Lin said sternly: "The matters of those days have long been settled. They are bringing it up now, at most it would just look bad online, no one can do anything to you."

Lin Tiancheng was momentarily stunned, but still nodded. Either way, he had his own plans regardless of whether it was true or not.

As long as Qiao Rui is dealt with, the trouble will be resolved.

Hopefully, that’s how it is, but something still felt off in his heart.

Lin Qingshi said, "It’s a quarter past five now, let’s wait and see, I bet she’ll call."

At this time, Gai Yin had not yet left work and was still in the president’s office with Qiao Rui.

After the news was released, Gai Yin kept an eye on the online trends. "President Qiao, do we need to make a call to inform the Lin Family?"

Qiao Rui shook her head, "No need."

Gai Yin was taken aback: "Then, wouldn’t they misunderstand our intentions?"

"Sister Yin." Qiao Rui chuckled, "You know what kind of people Elder Lin and Lin Tiancheng are. How could they not understand our intentions? They’re probably thinking we wouldn’t dare to reveal their scandals at seven."

"Does President Qiao think they might not pay us?"

Qiao Rui nodded, very surely, "It looks like the Lin Family won’t repay the money."

Gai Yin was a bit shocked, "Then wouldn’t our goal be unattainable?"

Qiao Rui said thoughtfully, "Trying to get back thirty-seven billion is probably harder than reaching the sky."

Gai Yin also began to worry, "Now I’m worried they’ll act out of desperation."

"Elder Lin has already acted out," Qiao Rui laughed, "as they say, the higher the mountain, the steeper the demon. If we can’t make them back down, all the planning is meaningless."

Gai Yin nodded, "So your intention is not to call before seven?"

"Yes, you don’t need to worry about the rest. Go have a nice meal with your kid," said Qiao Rui, "It’s time, let’s call it a day."

Gai Yin was slightly stunned, but still nodded, "Yes."

After Gai Yin left, Qiao Rui didn’t rush to leave work. Li Chongming was also waiting for an update and entered to ask, "President Qiao, there’s no sign of activity from the Lin Family."

"They think I won’t actually reveal anything." Qiao Rui said, "Special Assistant Li, with your understanding of the Lin Family, it’s not easy for them to come up with thirty-seven billion, is it?"

Li Chongming nodded seriously, "Yes, President Qiao, the Lin Family has always had a policy of taking and not returning."

"Ha!" Qiao Rui giggled, "Are they like Pixiu? Only taking in, not letting out?"

Li Chongming chuckled awkwardly, "Yes, the Lin Family has always been like this. When the previous President Qiao was around, he turned a blind eye because of Madam, enabling them for many years, leading to this situation."

"This time, let’s make them suffer from diarrhea," said Qiao Rui, "Special Assistant Li, go home now, everything’s normal, no need to work overtime."

"But President Qiao, what about the matter at seven?" Li Chongming worried whether it was all well arranged and was more worried about President Qiao, a single woman, being targeted by the Lin Family. "I’d rather stay to protect President Qiao."

"No need, just keep regular hours," Qiao Rui said. "I’ve arranged everything else."

"You must be careful of the Lin Family," Li Chongming was still worried about Qiao Rui underestimating them.

Qiao Rui said, "Thank you for the reminder, Special Assistant Li, I know what to do."

Only then did Li Chongming leave for the day.

Yet he was still worried as he walked to the door, he stopped and spoke again, "President Qiao, the Lin Family is different from any other prominent family, particularly vicious and ruthless, they don’t care about consequences."

Qiao Rui understood that Li Chongming was worried about her and said again, "Special Assistant Li, I really appreciate your reminder and know you care for me, but just enjoy the show."

"President Qiao, the Qiao Family will rely on you in the future," Special Assistant Li said earnestly, "We long-serving employees rely on you too."

He sincerely hoped Qiao Rui would be alright, not get harmed by the Lin Family.

"Of course." Qiao Rui smiled again, "Nothing will happen to me. I have many plans yet to implement."

Li Chongming wanted to say more but was interrupted by Qiao Rui with a laugh, "Special Assistant Li, don’t be so nagging, hurry home to your wife."

Li Chongming hesitated but then said, "If you have any arrangements, call me immediately."

"Okay!" Qiao Rui nodded, "Go home now!"

"Yes!"

Li Chongming left, and Qiao Rui also packed up to leave work.

She had just gotten downstairs when she received a call from Pei Liyan, "I’ve sent Fang Mo and Si Ran to pick you up, they’ll take you home first, I’ll be back later."

"Don’t tell me you’re going to see the Lin Family." Qiao Rui thought his arrangement was a bit strange.

Sending Fang Mo and Si Ran showed how much he valued this matter, but since he wasn’t coming himself, he was probably heading to the Lin Family.

Pei Liyan didn’t expect Qiao Rui to be so perceptive, "That’s my plan."

"Don’t go," Qiao Rui smiled, "Doing so might disrupt my entire plan."

Pei Liyan said, "Isn’t your goal to get that money back?"

Holding the phone, Qiao Rui said, "That was the original goal, but the Lin Family seems unwilling to repay. If that’s the case, we might as well be more thorough."

"Do you want to overthrow the Lin Family?" Only then did Pei Liyan realize that Qiao Rui was serious this time.

Until now, he always thought Qiao Rui’s goal was just to get the Lin Family to repay the debt.

But now it seemed, that Qiao Rui’s goal was different, she wanted to overthrow the Lin Family.

"Does Mr. Pei think I can’t do it?" Qiao Rui smiled and asked back.

"No," Pei Liyan said solemnly, "I’m worried they will target you."

"If I back down now, will I not be targeted?" Qiao Rui asked again.

Pei Liyan had no reply.

Backing down now wouldn’t help.

"See, even you know the Lin Family’s nature." Qiao Rui laughed, "They won’t let it go, always wanting more while pretending innocence, someone’s got to stand up."

"But, selfishly speaking, I don’t want that person to be you," Pei Liyan said again.

"I’m the most suitable," Qiao Rui said, "After all, the Qiao Family and the Lin Family have business dealings."

Pei Liyan frowned, "Then I’m going to the Lin Family now."

"Don’t go," Qiao Rui said, "If you go, it’ll lose its impact."

Pei Liyan paused, "So should I come to you now?"

"Go home, see you at home," she said, "Let’s enjoy the show together tonight."
