The Beautiful CEO’s Dragon Blood Bodyguard
Chapter 297 - 0297: Showdown between both parties

Chapter 297: Chapter 0297: Showdown between both parties

Lin Guohao already knew about the incident where Markus was killed by a punch from Long Fei. Markus was an undocumented immigrant, and all his identification information was fake.

Moreover, he died in a boxing match.

After some maneuvering, they couldn’t touch Long Fei even though Markus died.

He and his son had originally planned to deal with Long Fei in this way, but they never expected that it would be Markus who ended up losing.

As Long Fei suddenly walked in, one can only imagine the panic in Lin Guohao’s heart.

He certainly didn’t have a fraction of Markus’s skill. For Long Fei, beating him would be like crushing a tiny chick.

Lin Yingying sat on the sofa, hugging her arms clearly having taken quite a bit of insult.

How could Long Fei sit idly by when his own woman was bullied?

He looked at Lin Guohao with a cold brow and said, "Vice Director Lin, I didn’t come looking for you, yet you sought me out. Since we’ve run into each other, let’s talk about your son’s affairs!"

He went over and sat down next to Lin Yingying.

Leaning forward, he sat down like a towering mountain, shielding Lin Yingying upfront.

Lin Yingying, looking at his broad back, felt a surge of security, feeling as if with this man by her side, she need not fear anything anymore.

Originally, she was high above, never harboring any petty sentiments of a little woman.

She herself was puzzled, when did she become so reliant on Long Fei?

Lin Guohao’s eyelid twitched, and he took a sip of tea to mask his panic, saying, "What could be wrong with my son!"

Long Fei stared at him and said with a faint smile, "You know what the problem is. According to my investigation, your son made an overseas transfer a few days ago, depositing funds into an account at Switzerland Bank. And soon after, Director Lin was targeted by an international group of assassins. Vice Director Lin, don’t you find these two events to be very peculiar?"

Lin Guohao’s hand shook, and he nearly spilled his tea.

The reason he had come today was, firstly, over his shareholder issue, and secondly, to probe into the reality of the situation between the two of them.

He hadn’t expected Long Fei and Lin Yingying to have really looked into it this far.

Elder Master Lin had just rebuked him and even proposed to the board of directors to relieve Lin Guohao of his directorial duties.

Unconvinced in his heart, Lin Guohao made a scene here.

As Long Fei began to speak, his face flushed red, and he no longer had any confidence.

Seeing his expression, Long Fei knew that Lin Guohao was also aware of the situation.

Long Fei, with a hint of authority, continued, "Director Lin, spending money to hire foreign assassins to murder a female businesswoman—and not just any, but the vice-chairwoman of the city’s Industrial and Commercial Federation and a member of the CPPCC. The magnitude of this crime, you should be clear about it, right?"

Nevertheless, Lin Guohao stubbornly retorted, "You’re slandering me. Just because of one transfer, how can you pin this on my son?"

Long Fei had already anticipated his reaction and took out his phone to open an image. He placed it in front of him and said, "Please take a close look, Vice Director Lin. This is your son’s money transfer statement from Switzerland Bank, as well as the transaction records of cooperation between Switzerland Group and the group of assassins. I believe our wise and brave police can use this to easily convict your son, right?"

Lin Guohao’s pupils dilated as he stared dumbfounded at the screenshot of the transfer on the phone. How had Long Fei managed to get this?

Of course, Long Fei couldn’t have obtained it himself; it was Chu Feng who had helped him with the investigation.

With this said, everyone had laid their cards on the table.

Lin Guohao’s psychological defenses completely collapsed. He took a couple of strong drags from his cigarette and turned to Lin Yingying with a defeated look, "Yingying, I am your second uncle, and I watched you grow up. Jiahui’s actions would not be unjust even if he were to be shot a hundred times. You must believe me, I only found out about this later. Please, for this matter, spare Jiahui. I have only this one son, and the Lin family only has this one heir. You wouldn’t want the Lin family to lose its lineage, would you?"

Lin Yingying responded with a cold demeanor, "Is this why you sold the company’s shares and transferred all the equity to the Wuu Family?"

"This..."

Lin Guohao was even more startled and asked tremblingly, "You know about this too?"

Lin Yingying snorted, "If you don’t want people to know, don’t do it yourself. Second uncle, you’re unworthy of being a member of the Lin Family. Not only did you sell the shares, but you also disclosed the entire logistics park project to the Wuu Family. Do you realize that the company’s billion-dollar preliminary investment in the logistics park could potentially be wasted because of this?"

Sweat beads formed on Lin Guohao’s forehead, and he no longer had the spine he did when arguing with Lin Yingying.

He had thought his deeds were flawless, yet they knew everything.

His voice quivered, "Yingying, your second uncle is also in an unavoidable predicament. You must believe me, my original intention wasn’t like this at all!"

Lin Yingying spoke calmly, "I know what you really hoped for was to ally with the Wuu Family and work together to short-sell Lin’s Group’s stocks and then return to seize control of the company, right? But did you ever consider that the Wuu Family might not actually want to play along with you?"

Lin Guohao’s hands trembled, Lin Yingying had hit him where it hurt, as if he were sitting here without any clothes on.

He had originally sold his fifteen percent share to the Wuu Family, planning to join them in dumping Lin’s Group’s stocks.

Wait for market fluctuations and for individual investors to sell off, and then take the opportunity to buy back in.

That way, he could not only make a nice profit but also gain control of Lin’s Group.

But now, with the Wuu Family in possession of his stocks, they hadn’t followed through with the initial plan at all.

Now Lin Guohao was sitting on a pile of cash that he had no way to utilize, forced to watch helplessly as it diminished in value in the bank.

His heart was filled with regret to the extreme, caught between a rock and a hard place.

His son’s murder had been exposed, his stock manipulation had been exposed, and now he was indeed facing both financial ruin and total disgrace.

"Yingying, let me speak frankly. Your uncle has always treated you and Shanshan as his own daughters! Whenever I visited your house as a child, when did I not bring gifts aplenty? Whatever you and Shanshan desired, I would buy for you. I’ve just been muddle-headed recently. Give your uncle a chance, spare Jiahui and spare your uncle, will you?"

With a face full of pleading, he looked at Lin Yingying, devoid of any will to continue the fight.

Elder Master Lin had handed over the company to his brother, and now, at last, he had accepted it.

He wasn’t cut out for business, and if Lin’s Group really had been handed to him, it would probably have closed down by now.

Lin Yingying was usually reserved and serious, looking every bit the cold and distant CEO.

In reality, however, her heart was actually quite soft, and she had already planned to report this matter at the board meeting.

That way, Lin Guohao would have no chance for redemption.

The clans within Lin’s Group would surely abandon him, and merely firing him would be letting him off lightly.

Yet now, with just a few words from Lin Guohao, she found herself unsure how to proceed with severity.

She glanced at Long Fei, seeking his opinion subconsciously.

Long Fei turned to Lin Guohao and said, "Deputy Director Lin, at this point, saying these things is useless. Think of a remedy, and we can still sit down and talk."

When Lin Guohao heard there was room for mitigation, he quickly responded, "Okay, whatever you need me to do, I agree to it all."

Long Fei said, "Bring your son here, and then, in front of us, call off the assassination order on Yingying. From now on, he must stay abroad and, without our permission, never return."

Lin Guohao had actually been preparing to send his son overseas and all the arrangements were in place.

Long Fei’s words were right in line with his wishes, and without a second thought, he agreed, "Okay, I promise you that!"

He hesitated before asking, "Then what should I do about my situation?"

Lin Yingying exhaled a stifled breath and said, "Let’s just leave your matter be. I won’t report it to the board, and I won’t remove you from your director position. Your five percent of the shares will remain yours."

"Good, good, that’s the best!"

Joy spread across Lin Guohao’s face, the outcome far better than he could have anticipated.

Originally, he had been ready to give away all five percent of his shares to Lin Yingying should the situation turn dire.

Now, to his relief, he was able to keep them.

Long Fei and Lin Yingying exchanged a look, signifying an agreement reached with Lin Guohao.

But he wasn’t as generously inclined as Lin Yingying; he had his own considerations.

Dealing with Lin Jiahui in the country was problematic; unlike Markus, he was someone with a proper identity documented on a national ID card.

The Secular World has its own laws, and Long Fei was not yet so influential as to act with impunity beyond the Secular World.

To dispose of Lin Jiahui, it would indeed be more convenient abroad.

However, he now seemed harmless, as if genuinely forgiving Lin Jiahui.
