Lin Ruohan swept everything on the table to the ground, but she still couldn't calm down her anger. It shouldn't have been like this.

Anger and helplessness surged through Lin Ruohan's heart, distorting his originally handsome face.

So it was all an act? She always was an act!

She fell into their trap and pretended to like Mu Yuanchen!

Is she a sack? She can hold so much!

She swindled him out of his life, leaving him with nothing!

Just then, Lin Ruohan's phone rang.

He answered the phone, and an anxious voice came from the other end: "Lin Ruohan, have you given all of Xingyu's shares to the Bai family?"

Lin Ruohan's face darkened instantly. Of course, he knew what the other party meant by calling.

"You must return the money you borrowed from me!" the man said urgently. "It's all money borrowed from the bank; if I don't pay it back, I'll go to jail!"

Lin Ruohan could only whisper, "You know Anping's situation, where would I get the money to transfer to you?"

"I know the old man protected you! Give me back the money the old man used to acquire Anping!" He knew Lin Mingjing and Lin Ruohan were bankrupt. If he didn't take the money now, would he be able to get it back later?

Lin Ruohan said, "I have no money."

"Aren't you afraid I'll tell the old man what you did?" The other person threatened Lin Ruohan with their incriminating evidence. "You know what kind of person the old man is. If he finds out you betrayed the family and transferred the Bai family's funds, guess what he'll do?"

“Not good.” Lin Ruohan said, “No matter how much the old man hates me, I am his grandson. If you betray me, I will definitely be fine, but you will definitely go to jail.”

After a moment of silence, the other party could only grit their teeth and say, "Then what do you suggest we do now? If I really explode, you won't be any better off!"

Seeing that he had relented, Lin Ruohan breathed a sigh of relief: "What are you afraid of? I'm still in the Bai family. I'm the only grandson of the old man, and I'll inherit the Bai family business eventually. For now, you just need to figure out how to cover things. We can continue to transfer the remaining funds. Aren't the Bai family's assets enough to pay off your debts?"

"Okay." With no other option, the other party could only hang up the phone.

Lin Ruohan tossed her phone onto the table beside her.

After a while, he laughed coldly again: "What use are you? In the end, the Bai family will still belong to me."

Ultimately, he's still part of the Bai family, and he's the old man's grandson, so he hasn't lost yet.

...

After the cooperation in Anping was launched, Bai Yan casually changed the name of Anping Film and Television to Starlight. What does an entertainment company need Ping?

Of course, it should be a bright and dazzling career.

For the first few days, Xingguang was extremely busy, and even Baiyan was overwhelmed, working a regular 996 schedule every day.

Lin Ruohan wasn't stupid this time. He wasn't in a hurry to seize power from Bai Yan. Instead, he took advantage of the few days that Old Master Bai was recuperating at home to accompany him for tea and bring him medicine every day. If outsiders didn't know, they would really think he was a filial grandson.

"Little Yan..." It was late at night and Bai Yan still hadn't returned. Old Master Bai couldn't help but look out the window and mutter to himself.

Lin Ruohan brought over hot water and placed the old man's blood pressure medication on the table. "Grandpa, remember to take your medicine."

Then, seemingly casually, she said, "I heard from the company's receptionist that Xiao Yan left in a military vehicle around 8 o'clock. It must have been her boyfriend, right?"

As he poured hot water into the old man's cup, he jokingly said, "Girls are so outgoing. Even before marriage, they don't want to go home every day. After marriage, they probably won't even know the way home."

He had to remind the old man that Bai Yan was a woman, and that she would get married sooner or later!

Leaving the Bai family to her would mean giving away billions of assets to outsiders.

Grandpa Bai frowned slightly upon hearing this. He simply took out his smartphone from the drawer, put on his glasses, and operated it for a while before finally getting through to his granddaughter: "Hello, have you finished with your work at the company? Lin Ruohan just said you got into a military vehicle. Did you go to find Fang Siyan?"

Lin Ruohan, standing behind him, turned pale: he hadn't expected the old man to sell it to him on the spot.

Bai Yan chuckled lightly: "Aren't we going to co-produce a military documentary with the military? It's a work-related matter."

"Grandpa, let's go somewhere where no one is around and talk. This is confidential, and outsiders can't hear it."

"Oh, oh, okay." Old Master Bai took his phone and walked out.

Lin Ruohan, who was being treated like an outsider, had a grim expression. What kind of spell had Bai Yan cast on the old man? Even if he had done something wrong, wasn't he still his own grandson...?

He reluctantly put down his water glass, but as his gaze fell, he saw the documents sealed in a bag on his desk.

Lin Ruohan glanced outside the door and opened the file bag.

Upon seeing the contents, Lin Ruohan's pupils dilated, and her out-of-control hand nearly crushed the thin paper.

The old man was from that era and wasn't used to the internet or computers. This was a handwritten property division agreement; he divided everything the Bai family owned in two, leaving one part to Bai Yan and donating the other to the country.

He really wants to give everything to Bai Yan, and would rather donate the rest than keep it for himself?

Lin Ruohan's brow twitched. Once the agreement took effect, it would be audited, and his misappropriation of funds would be exposed.

He tried to calm himself down, put the agreement back into the file folder, and quickly left the old man's study.

In the other room, Old Master Bai said, "Xiao Yan, as you said, he has already seen it."

Bai Yan gave the old man a few words of advice and then quickly hung up the phone.
