At this mont, Elder Lin was at a loss for words.
He stared blankly at the butler, leaned back in his chair, and his voice was no longer as loud as before.
The butler said, "This news was reported by the first lady, who called crying, asking you to get Young Master Tinglei out no matter what."
Lin Qingshi asked back, "How to bail him out? Get a lawyer, have you found a lawyer?"
"Dad, no lawyer is willing to take on our case now." Lin Shiyue pulled at his lips, looking troubled. "Lin Family is now a fallen wall with everyone pushing it."
Lin Qingshi collapsed, stunned, and didn’t speak for a long ti.
After several minutes of silence, he finally reprimanded in a deep voice, "Offer a high price to hire soone!"
"The company’s assets are currently frozen, and it’s unclear when they will be unfrozen. It’s also unclear if big brother can co out, or how many assets will be confiscated. No one dares to take on our case. I had people run through all the major legal circles in Qingcheng, but for so reason, this ti no one is willing to take it."
"Qiao Rui!" Lin Qingshi shouted angrily, "It must be Qiao Rui."
Lin Shiyue nodded.
No need to say more, soone must have instructed this.
"All the famous lawyers refuse to take the case, as do the newly erging ones, and even those unknown lawyers don’t take our Lin Family’s case."
Lin Qingshi looked at Lin Shiyue incredulously, his elderly face filled with shock and disbelief.
"Is it really a dead-end?" Lin Qingshi murmured to himself.
Lin Shiyue replied, "Yes, it truly is a dead-end."
"You still haven’t said, why did you go to the Qiao Family?" Lin Qingshi was extrely frustrated, intuitively sensing that Lin Shiyue’s actions went against his wishes.
Lin Shiyue hesitated for a mont and said, "Dad, I went to seek peace with Qiao Rui, hoping she would show rcy and spare you!"
"She won’t." Lin Qingshi shook his head. "You’re wasting your effort and ti, that girl wants dead."
"Dad, she knows you want her dead." Lin Shiyue said, "Actually, it didn’t have to be this way, but now the arrow is on the bowstring, we have no choice but to shoot."
"Get out!" Lin Qingshi suddenly pointed at the door and shouted, "Get out!"
Lin Shiyue froze, then left after a mont of hesitation without saying another word.
As he walked out the door, he saw his daughter Lin Ci standing there.
He was taken aback, and asked quietly, "Did you hear everything just now?"
Lin Ci nodded, a flicker of understanding in her bright eyes as she looked at her father and said softly, "Dad, don’t go against the Qiao Family, you’re not a match!"
Lin Shiyue said, "I have also deeply realized Qiao Rui’s power, such a young girl, with so much influence."
Lin Ci looked off into the distance, saying, "Dad, don’t do anything illegal, protect yourself."
Lin Shiyue was taken aback, feeling that his daughter might know sothing.
Just as he wanted to ask, Lin Ci had already walked away.
Lin Shiyue decided not to speak further.
Back in the car, Lin Shiyue imdiately called Qiao Rui. "President Qiao, I have settled everything with Huo Family’s Huo Sinan, seven hundred million will be deposited in your finance departnt before four in the afternoon."
"Mr. Lin indeed has great resolve." Qiao Rui replied with a smile, "Thank you."
Lin Shiyue went on to say, "President Qiao, my nephew Lin Tinglei, is that your doing too?"
"No!" Qiao Rui replied with a smile, "Your nephew brought this upon himself. I can’t intervene with police matters. You overestimate ; I don’t have such power."
"President Qiao is modest." Lin Shiyue had long believed that this matter was greatly related to Qiao Rui.
Qiao Rui only smiled faintly, "Mr. Lin raised a good daughter, she will bring blessings in the future."
With that, she hung up without prolonging the conversation.
Lin Shiyue was extrely puzzled and imdiately called Lin Ci.
At that ti, Lin Ci was already driving away.
When she received her father’s call, she heard Lin Shiyue ask, "Lin Ci, Qiao Rui complinted you today again, Dad really wants to know why."
"Dad, I don’t know why." Lin Ci replied, "Maybe she was just being polite."
"I always feel that it’s not that simple. Do you have any relationship with her?" Lin Shiyue inquired again.
Lin Ci smiled. "Dad, in this situation, any relationship doesn’t matter, the important thing is to do what you should do."
"You’re right." Lin Shiyue said in a low voice, "Dad won’t ask anymore, don’t feel pressured."
Lin Ci smiled, "I am not pressured; it’s you, Dad, who is too pressured. Please take care of your health."
"Lin Ci." Lin Shiyue spoke with guilt, "You are very understanding, and Dad feels guilty for bringing you into a family like the Lin Family, potentially making you face disputes in the future."
With the Lin Family’s current reputation, with the situation involving brother and Tinglei, they may end up in prison, implicating even Lin Ci.
When relatives are imprisoned, many professions are off-limits, which is unfair to Lin Ci.
"Dad, so things can’t be chosen, and since they can’t be chosen, accept them calmly." Lin Ci reassured Lin Shiyue. "I’m okay, I won’t be affected by them."
"That’s good." Lin Shiyue smiled, "Let’s leave it at that."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Ci held her phone and made another call. "Sister Ying, Lin Tinglei has been taken away. I’ve followed all the instructions."
"Very good," said the voice on the other end. "Lin Ci, you did well."
"Anything else?" Lin Ci asked.
"Not for now. I’ll arrange for you if there’s anything," said the voice.
"Alright," Lin Ci replied, "I am ready at any ti, but Sister Ying, when can I et you?"
"You will et when it’s ant to be," the voice said.
"I understand," Lin Ci said, not pursuing the matter further.
Two o’clock.
Huo Sinan called Qiao Rui. "President Qiao, my father agreed to the collaboration, we will sign the contract at ten tomorrow."
"Mr. Huo and your esteed father are decisive people, so it’s settled."
"Good, also, the seven hundred million will be wired to Qiao Family’s account by 3:30 this afternoon, and the tax will be handled together, borne by the Lin Family."
"Thank you," Qiao Rui expressed her gratitude.
Huo Sinan said, "No need to thank , I should thank President Qiao for making it convenient for ."
Qiao Rui only smiled slightly.
At four in the afternoon.
Financial Director Chen Mingfei ca to report: "President Qiao, the seven hundred million funds have been received."
Qiao Rui nodded slightly. "Understood."
Chen Mingfei looked at Qiao Rui with surprise, she showed no surprise at all, as if everything was expected.
This was seven hundred million; Qiao Family hadn’t seen these many funds for a long ti.
Qiao Rui looked at Chen Mingfei, smiling faintly, "Director Chen, anything else?"
Chen Mingfei felt awkward, imdiately regaining composure and smiling, "President Qiao, did you already know about this seven hundred million return?"
"Yes," Qiao Rui nodded, "Don’t touch the funds in the account, handle everything according to financial regulations."
Chen Mingfei was taken aback, imdiately nodding, "Yes, but if Vice President Qiao cos to go through so financial procedures, what should we do then?"
"Don’t my words count?" Qiao Rui countered coldly.
