Chapter 414: Chapter 414: Frozen Assets

"You wretched thing, are you lecturing me?" Lin Qingshi cursed angrily.

"I wouldn’t dare." Qiao Xiang spoke, "Grandfather, I’m merely reminding you, if there’s no action taken soon, the Lin Family will truly be finished. At that point, it may be beyond salvation."

Lin Qingshi took a deep breath, wanting to yell but suppressed it, feeling irritated. "What dirt does Qiao Rui still have on us?"

"I don’t know." Qiao Xiang replied, "But every time I’ve gone up against her, I’ve never won."

"That’s because you’re stupid!"

"Neither you nor Uncle have won against her, have you?" Qiao Xiang didn’t hold back.

"Shut up!" Lin Qingshi shouted angrily.

Qiao Xiang continued, "Based on my analysis, once Uncle is taken away, they’ll expose him for murder next, followed by illegal activities. He’ll face multiple charges and won’t come out for life."

"You’re cursing our Lin Family." Lin Qingshi reprimanded. "Qiao Xiang, you’re truly wicked."

"Grandfather, I’m merely analyzing the situation for you. You’re still not waking up to reality." Qiao Xiang said firmly, "Without Uncle, you think everything will be fine, but what if the second uncle is also caught?"

"There’s still me!"

"What if you are caught too?" Qiao Xiang retorted, "Search your heart, can you truly say there’s no dirt on you over the years?"

Lin Qingshi was momentarily stunned.

Qiao Xiang spoke again, "I fear you can’t confidently claim innocence, considering what you’ve done, you know well in your heart."

"You wretched thing, how dare you speak to me like this?" Lin Qingshi was furious.

"Grandfather, don’t be overconfident." Qiao Xiang said, "I still show you respect because you’re my grandfather, but if you continue to be rude, don’t blame me for sharing these thoughts with Qiao Rui."

"You have the heart of a wolf." Lin Qingshi cursed, "You’re hitting us when we’re down."

"It’s you who are hitting us when we’re down!" Qiao Xiang said, "My parents are on the brink of disaster, and you stand by coldly, refusing to return our assets, repaying kindness with enmity. Don’t forget it was my mother who helped move money into the Lin Family. Your Lin Family’s fortune started with the Qiao Family’s money, so who’s really the one with a wolf-like heart?"

Lin Qingshi’s blood pressure suddenly spiked, "You’re teaming up with Qiao Rui against me!"

"Grandfather, I’m also part of the Qiao Family." Qiao Xiang said firmly, "Without the Qiao Family, it’s no good for me either."

"So you’re finally admitting it."

"But losing the Lin Family is also not beneficial to me; thirty-seven billion isn’t a big issue for you. Take it out now; otherwise, there might not be a chance to spend it later." Qiao Xiang said firmly.

Lin Qingshi suddenly hung up the phone.

No chance to spend it.

He refused to believe it, first wanting to get rid of Qiao Rui and then see what the situation really was.

"Someone, go and bring Lin Shiyue to me!"

"Yes!"

Soon, Lin’s second son, vice president of Lin Family, Lin Shiyue, arrived.

"Dad, I’m handling matters at the back; you called for me?" Lin Shiyue respectfully asked upon entering.

"Shiyue, I’m telling you, if the day comes when both you and I are caught, have you thought about who will take over the Lin Family?"

Lin Shiyue was immediately stunned. "Dad, are we going to be caught too?"

"It’s not impossible." Lin Qingshi was now somewhat clear-headed.

Lin Shiyue felt it wasn’t initially so serious, but it now seemed things were moving toward an irreversible direction.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Dad, how about we take the money out? Money can be earned again."

"Do I need you to say that!" Lin Qingshi said firmly, "I can’t swallow this bitterness."

"Dad, let’s not act out of anger." Lin Shiyue said, "I think we can return the money and then deal with the Qiao Family."

"Let me ask you, if I am caught, will you immediately return the money?" Lin Qingshi asked sternly.

Lin Shiyue looked at his father, a hint of guilt in his eyes.

This reaction caused a wave of displeasure in the old man’s heart. "I knew you would be so useless."

Lin Shiyue didn’t argue, just lowered his head.

He believed as long as there’s life, there’s hope, but both father and elder brother were very aggressive, and he wasn’t the one in charge, his words carried no weight.

"Shiyue, I’m telling you, we won’t return the Qiao Family’s money." Lin Qingshi said firmly.

"Yes, Dad!" Lin Shiyue nodded. "I understand, but if you are implicated, won’t we still have to return it?"

"Even if I’m caught, you can come see me; it’s not like I’ll be unreachable."

"Dad, I’m afraid once caught there’ll be no way to meet due to fear of collusion." Lin Shiyue said again.

Lin Qingshi was stunned, swore, "Can’t you think of a way? You’re so useless."

"Dad, even at that point we won’t return?"

"Even if I die, it’s not getting returned." Lin Qingshi said.

Lin Shiyue smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, there’s still the younger generation in the Lin Family, you have grandchildren."

Lin Qingshi’s pupils burned with anger, and he said in a deep voice, "Seeing you like this, I haven’t even been caught, and you’re already thinking of returning it, truly useless."

"Dad, our funds are now frozen." Lin Shiyue said, "Since elder brother was taken away, all of Lin’s assets were frozen."

Lin Qingshi was shocked. "Why?"

"The Qiao Family requested asset preservation for our Lin Family, probably to prevent us from transferring funds."

"On what grounds?" Lin Qingshi was straightforward, always acting on emotion.

"Based on financial transactions, and transfer records from Hai Lan, some notes marked as loans."

Lin Qingshi was stunned again.

"Dad, actually, even if we deny some transactions, when the other side requests legal enforcement, we’ll lose; ultimately, it will be forcibly transferred, not requiring our consent, directly from the account." Lin Shiyue spoke again.

Lin Qingshi squinted his eyes. "So, Qiao girl intends to go this route?"

"Fully going this route won’t get all thirty-seven billion, so it’s a double-headed approach." Lin Shiyue said, "Qiao Rui handles things ruthlessly, shrewdly, seeing far ahead from all angles, making us unable to react."

"If she’s that clever, then we can’t let her stay." Lin Qingshi half-squinted his eyes, a dangerous look in his gaze.

Lin Shiyue pursed his lips. "Now, even if something happens to Qiao Rui, some of our assets are still frozen, and some would have to be returned."

"Given that, what do you mean by repayment earlier?"

"I meant we could settle seven billion from the Huo Family first and give it to the Qiao Family. Yesterday Huo Sinan also spoke for the Qiao Family, putting pressure on us."

Lin Qingshi gritted his teeth, unwilling, but still said, "Wait a bit more on this matter."

"Yes!" Lin Shiyue nodded. "I’ll go back to my tasks now."

"Go on." Lin Qingshi looked fatigued. "Have those reporters outside left yet?"

"No!" Lin Shiyue said, "Dad, give out some red envelopes; it might disperse them."

"Don’t give; let them stay at the door and waste their time." Lin Qingshi said firmly.

Lin Shiyue slightly frowned but said nothing, turning to leave.

Lin Qingshi rubbed his forehead, a look of gloom on his face.
