The beautiful CEO falls in love with me

Chapter 736: Chapter 712:

"It should be coming down soon!" Little Mei quickly glanced over, and at that moment, a thunderous roar erupted from the crowd. Everyone looked in the direction of the elevator, and Lin Ziwen walked out with an expressionless face. She coldly stared at the black-clothed man opposite her and asked, "Who are you people, to think of seizing public property in broad daylight?!"

"Assistant Lin, aren’t you mistaken?" The leading black-clothed man sneered, "How am I seizing public property? I’m clearly reclaiming what’s mine!"

"How does Tianya Group become your property?" Lin Ziwen snorted coldly.

"Look carefully, isn’t this the contract you signed?" The other party decisively flashed the contract Lin Ziwen signed with President Zhou of Fushan Coal Mine. Lin Ziwen was stunned and said, "You... How did you get this contract?"

"President Zhou has already transferred this contract to me, along with some certificates and documents of the Tianya Group, for a price of 300 million yuan!" The black-clothed man chuckled with a sneer, "Now, I am the rightful owner of Tianya Group!"

"Impossible!" Lin Ziwen immediately shook her head and said, "At most I’ll just pay you back the 300 million yuan, what right do you have to take away the entire Tianya Group!"

"Sorry, I’m not interested in money, I just like Mr. Li’s Tianya Group!" The man grinned.

Lin Ziwen immediately inhaled a breath of cold air; it looked like the other party had indeed come prepared. She felt like a mouse being toyed with, as if everyone else knew this was a trap, but she alone was clueless about everything.

"You... You’re in cahoots with Yang Yupeng?!" Lin Ziwen gritted her teeth in anger.

"Ha ha, you’ve finally figured it out?" The man laughed coldly, then turned his head to a man behind him who had been looking down and wearing a hat, and said, "Yu Peng, it’s time for you to come out and see your old flame. You need to clear things up with her!"

"Yu Peng?!" Lin Ziwen’s mind was struck as if by lightning, and she stared in shock at the man wearing a hat behind Shen Haotian. That man looked very much like Yang Yupeng, but because he was wearing a hat and had kept his head down without daring to look up, Lin Ziwen was not confident that he was indeed Yang Yupeng.

Sure enough, after the man took off his hat and stood up straight, Lin Ziwen immediately recognized his face. Perhaps more haggard than a week before, much thinner, but Lin Ziwen, immersed in the anger of being deceived, couldn’t concern herself with much else. She rushed towards Yang Yupeng, tightly grasping his arm, then biting her red lips, she asked, "Yu Peng, tell me quickly, you didn’t deceive me, did you? It’s them using schemes and tricks on us, right?!"

From the beginning, Lin Ziwen couldn’t bring herself to believe that Yang Yupeng was deceiving her, even though many objective evidences had pointed towards him. Yet, she had always refused to believe it; she needed Yang Yupeng to tell her himself.

Yang Yupeng lifted his eyes to look at Lin Ziwen, then reached out to touch her cheek, wiping away her tears, and said, "Ziwen, I’m sorry, I’m nothing but a fraudster. All of this was a scheme I joined in on to deceive you, all to take over Tianya Group and get revenge on Ye Chen!"

Sss...

Everyone around couldn’t help but inhale a breath of cold air, Lin Ziwen’s complexion turned pale instantly, she took several steps back, looking at Yang Yupeng with a vacant gaze, and then collapsed onto the ground. Despite her many fantasies of the outcome, she had never thought it would end like this. She covered her face and sobbed in pain, "No, no, why, why is it like this. This isn’t the outcome I wanted..."

Facing Lin Ziwen’s hoarse and exhaustive sobbing, no one stepped forward to comfort her. Tianya Group’s employees were extremely disappointed in her. To them, she was a foolish woman who betrayed Tianya Group for love. Yang Yupeng looked at Lin Ziwen, his eyes reddened, and he put the hat back on; he didn’t want to see such a scene unfold. In fact, he did love Lin Ziwen, but to protect her and his own life, he had no choice but to comply with Shen Haotian’s orders.

But, how could Lin Ziwen possibly know Yang Yupeng’s thoughts and feelings?

Some say the IQ of a woman in love drops to zero, and that saying isn’t wrong at all. Any woman’s intelligence can drop to varying degrees when in love.

"Little Mei, we... we should still go and comfort Assistant Lin!" Milking Girl gently tugged at Little Mei and said, "She’s quite pitiable!"

"Yeah!" Little Mei nodded her head.

The two immediately went over, then pulled Assistant Lin up from the ground. Lin Ziwen seemed to find an outlet for her emotions as she hugged Milking Girl Xingxing and cried loudly. Milking Girl held a carton of milk in her hand; faced with Lin Ziwen’s sudden embrace, she was startled, and the milk was squeezed hard, spraying white milk right onto Shen Haotian’s face.

That scene immediately made many people burst into laughter; men laughed heartily, unable to hold back, even doubling over. Women blushed, watching that scene, recalling their own encounters: their men energetically moving on top of them at night, and finally ending with a facial... It seemed just like that.

Shen Haotian instantly frowned, and the little brother beside him quickly suppressed his inner rage, and then pulled out several tissues for Shen Haotian. Shen Haotian angrily said, "Assistant Lin, my lawyer will arrive soon, how do you suggest we resolve this?"

At that moment, the police hurriedly rushed to the scene as well. Captain Fang led the team, and over ten officers stormed into the hall. After receiving several calls from Tianya Group, the police immediately came. Tianya Group was now a foreign-funded enterprise, an important protection object. They absolutely couldn’t be implicated.

"What happened?!" Captain Fang immediately walked in.

"Captain Fang!" Little Mei hastily waved to Fang Qin, saying, "It’s me, I’m the one who called the police!"

Captain Fang immediately approached Little Mei, and after inquiring about the specific circumstances, she turned to Shen Haotian and asked, "Who are you? By what right are you taking over Tianya Group?"

"Heh, I do have the legal paperwork!" Shen Haotian sneered coldly, then raised the agreement in his hand, saying, "This is the agreement where Assistant Lin mortgaged Tianya Group to me. Make sure you see it clearly. I know China is a country of laws; you won’t act recklessly!"

That statement immediately floored Captain Fang. Fang Qin stared in astonishment at Lin Ziwen, hoping Lin Ziwen could explain things clearly, but seeing Lin Ziwen crying so heartbreakingly, it wasn’t going to be easy to get the truth from her. Helplessly, she could only turn her gaze to Little Mei.

Little Mei didn’t know the cause of the incident, but she did know some basic facts—it was that man named Yang Yupeng who had deceived Lin Ziwen, and it was quite a big deception, to the point that he had drawn Tianya Group into it. After hearing this, Captain Fang indicated helplessness. With things as they were, what else could be done? If everything had to go through legal procedures, Tianya Group might indeed have to be handed over to someone else.

"Alas, I’m afraid I’m powerless!" Captain Fang, being a police officer, stood on the side of the law, which represented fairness and justice. Before the law, everyone was equal; a prince committing a crime was subject to the same punishment as the common people. Captain Fang was just a junior police officer—what could she do? She could only stand by and watch the drama unfold.

Shen Haotian, however, didn’t have the luxury to watch Lin Ziwen’s weeping. He waved his hand grandly, saying, "Come on, take control of Tianya Group immediately!"

"Yes!" The men behind him surged forward, each holding a baseball bat, and rushed toward the elevators, planning to clear out everyone from within Tianya Group. Captain Fang immediately scolded, "Stop it! Don’t cause trouble, or I’ll have to enforce the law impartially!"

"Hmph, Tianya Group is mine, why can’t I remove outsiders?" Shen Haotian ground his teeth.

"I’m sorry, but legally speaking, Tianya Group is not yours yet!" Captain Fang retorted with a cold smile, "You must complete the legal procedures. Once the court issues the order, you won’t need to lift a finger—I will personally drive these people out of Tianya Group myself!"

"Fine, those are your words!" Shen Haotian laughed heartily, "I’ll be leaving then. In three days, Tianya Group will fall into my name, and we’ll see what you have to say!"

After speaking, Shen Haotian immediately left with a large group of people from Tianya Group. With such a major incident at Tianya Group, naturally no one was in the mood to work anymore. They gathered together, discussing how to get through the crisis with Tianya Group.

"We must inform President Li!" The finance department manager’s face turned pale, so much money had slipped through his fingers without his knowing—imagine how deep his hatred for Lin Ziwen was. If the money was not accounted for, he would probably be prosecuted for embezzlement and misuse of public funds.

"Yes, at this point, we must inform President Li!" The crowd nodded in agreement.

In the end, the task of delivering the news fell to Milking Girl Xingxing. Several of the company’s vice presidents had been taken by Li Ruo to the United States to strive ahead. Although most of Tianya Group’s funds and assets were now in the US, the profits generated by the Jianghuai City Tianya Group Branch each year were not to be overlooked either.

"How... how can you make me call!" Milking Girl was very reluctant.

"Who told you that you’re related to President Li!" the finance department manager said with a grin.

"Exactly, Xingxing, just make the call. It’s hard for anyone to deliver such bad news to President Li. You won’t get scolded if you do it!" Little Mei also egged her on from the side. Milking Girl Xingxing helplessly nodded, saying, "Alright, alright, I’ll call, okay?"
