Chapter 35 Spring Day 35

Xu Ning took two steps back suddenly, and Lin Pianpian's appearance flashed through his mind quickly.

His eyes suddenly turned red, and tears sparkled in his black pupils.

Lin Jianye's face became ferocious, and when he saw Xu Ning's painful expression, a smug smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Will you suffer too?"

"I always thought you were a heartless woman. When you lost Pianpian, you didn't shed a single tear."

Lin Jianye thought of Xu Ning's surprisingly calm state on the day of the funeral.

It only took her two days to get everything done, as if she didn't want this matter to delay her own work.

In her world, it seems that there are only money and power.

Everything else is just her appendage.

It was also at that moment that he completely understood that Xu Ning had never loved him, otherwise he would not have failed to love their child.

That was their only child.

But at the age of sixteen, she left them forever.

Tears streamed down Xu Ning's face, and her throat felt like there was a huge object blocking it, making it impossible for her to make a sound.

How can it not hurt?

That was the flesh that fell off her body.

From the day she lost Lin Pianpian, she went crazy and became paranoid and crazy.

She has always taken revenge in a stubborn way. She hates Lin Jianye and hates Lin Xu even more.

But she still wanted to hold on to what belonged to her.

"Now that I see you like this, I feel really refreshed."

"You've been deceiving me from the very beginning. You deserve what you've gotten yourself into today!"

Xu Ning was grabbed by two people. She wanted to move forward, but she had no chance to get close to Lin Jianye.

Lin Jianye was in a good mood and turned around to enter the Lin Group.

Lin Xu had made a deal with him a month ago. He only wanted Lin's Enterprise. As for who would own Xushi Venture Capital, he didn't care at all. But he just didn't want Xu Ning to be proud.

Lin Pianpian's death was a great blow to him. He had endured humiliation over the years just to give Xu Ning a heavy blow.

Xu Ning has been in charge of Lin's Enterprise for many years. She has many confidants in the company, and it is difficult to eliminate them one by one.

If he wants to convince the board of directors, he must find help.

Lin Xu was best at handling such relationships. In just half a month, he made most of the board members defect, which became the key to Xu Ning's downfall.

Xu Ning screamed and groaned at the door, her legs went weak and she fell to her knees, grabbing the ground with her hands. She was surrounded by reporters.

The camera light fell on her, and the sound of shutter clicks and the reporters' barrage of questions echoed in her ears.

She had never been so embarrassed.

Xu Ning covered his face with his hands, afraid of the flash lights in front of him.

"Ms. Xu, are the rumors online that you hired someone to kill your son true?"

"I heard that you have a daughter who was insulted, tortured, and killed. Did this incident become the fuse that broke up your relationship with Chairman Lin?"

"Ms. Xu, there are rumors that you have a mental illness. Is this true..."

Countless questions were thrown at her, like ice spikes piercing her fiercely, torturing her body and mind.

After a while, the sound of urgent sirens was heard in the distance.

The police car quickly drove to the entrance of Lin's Enterprise Building, and several policemen got out of the car to evacuate the crowd.

"Ms. Xu Ning, you are suspected of multiple commercial crimes and intentional homicide. Please come with us..."

Xu Ning was taken into the police car and his tears had dried up by the time he left.

Sequential Venture Capital.

Top floor conference room.

Outside the door, Lin Xu was slowly adjusting the buttons of his suit, while the assistant next to him was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

"Mr. Lin, aren't you nervous? There was a lot of negative news this morning, and the board of directors is waiting for you to hold them accountable."

As soon as the news came out in the morning, the stock price of Precision Venture Capital began to plummet.

Lin Xu's face was calm, and his tone was very light: "When will the board of directors not want to hold someone accountable?"

"I'm the founder of the company, and I really should give them an explanation for this matter. Go in."

Lin Xu pushed open the door and walked straight in. The room was full of people. The shareholders were chatting with each other and discussing countermeasures.

Lin Xu sat in the chairman's seat and glanced at everyone, his eyes sharp and majestic.

There are several veterans in the company who are older shareholders, but they still feel scared when they see Lin Xu's eyes.

A director cleared his throat and said in a heavy tone, "Boss Lin, shouldn't you explain to us what's going on with all those things online?"

Lin Xu didn't sit down, but rested his hands on the table, saying calmly, "Everything on the Internet is true."

"I am indeed the adopted son of the Lin family, and I have a legitimate relationship with my sister Fu Yin. Lin Pianpian is my sister, who died thirteen years ago and has a certain relationship with me."

"But these things will not affect the company's future development. I will announce the subsequent handling of my mother Xu Ning online. The most important thing now is to stop the public opinion and not let this matter continue to ferment."

"Now netizens are saying that a company run by a murderer can't be a good company. How can you expect us to protect it under such enormous pressure?"

"Exactly. The stock price has dropped so much. I want to sell my shares. I'm afraid the company is going to be ruined. I should leave now while I can still make money."

"I want one too..."

Several shareholders shouted that they wanted to sell their shares and cash out, and some people who supported Lin Xu's idea stood up to argue, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

"Listen to me!"

"I promise you that in just three days, I will secure new projects for the company and bring the stock price back to where it was."

Lin Xu frowned, not wanting things to go on like this, so he stepped forward to stop it.

The scene suddenly fell silent, and after a moment they began to discuss in low voices, some of them not daring to believe what Lin Xu said.

But seeing Lin Xu's determined eyes, some people are still willing to give him a chance.

"Five years is neither too long nor too short. You've all followed me and witnessed the growth of Prediction Ventures from a small studio to where it is today. I believe none of you are treacherous."

"The company is facing difficulties now, and I hope everyone can stay and help the company overcome the difficulties."

After the meeting, several elders patted Lin Xu on the shoulder before leaving and said earnestly: "Ah Xu, we have always been optimistic about you, but people are selfish."

"But we are willing to give you three days, and we hope that the company will get better and better."

rental house.

Fu Yin has been sorting out his things at home these past two days and found a lot of things from his youth, all of which are now in the bottom of the box.

There was a box that was specifically used to store things left over from high school, and when I opened it, there was still a layer of dust on it.

If she hadn't been planning to move, she probably wouldn't have found it.

The things inside carry the memories of her entire high school days.

In fact, Xu Ning originally planned to send her to the nearby city to attend high school, but Lin Xu negotiated with her several times before he finally got her to stay.

But staying here also comes at a price. You must be in the top ten in your grade. If your grades drop, you will be sent away immediately.

It was painful to say the least. She was under tremendous pressure during that period and was tense every day, which made her very sensitive.

It just so happened that Lin Xu was a sophomore at that time, and had the most schoolwork, but she asked him to call her every night.

Lin Xu really did it, but he always came back from studying at 10:30, sometimes even at 11:00, leaving them with little time.

But he never fell behind, which made her feel very happy.

It was also from that time that she discovered her dependence on Lin Xu, and her inner feelings gradually began to change.

Like all teenage girls, she also quietly developed secrets.

It was also the first time that she had words she couldn't say to Lin Xu.

Fu Yin took out an album from inside, which contained photos of her in high school.

Most of the photos were taken by Lin Xu, including those of her doing homework in the classroom, sharing her learning experience at the parent-teacher meeting, and running exhaustedly on the playground.

Lin Xu was involved in her entire high school life.

He really was like an older brother, accompanying her through her most difficult three years of high school.

But she didn't feel tired or hard at all, because with Lin Xu, she could always recover her energy quickly.

When he saw those yellowed photos, Fu Yin's eyes instantly turned red and his nose felt a little sore.

She touched the photo lightly with her fingers, and some of the paper had faded.

Fu Yin couldn't help but smile. Lin Xu was very good at finding the angle, and every photo he took of her looked beautiful.

Fu Yin squatted on the carpet. There was a diary inside, which was locked with a combination lock. She didn't know where she lost the key.

Such notebooks were popular at that time, and her deskmate insisted on dragging her to buy one. She thought it was tacky at first, but then she filled the whole notebook with writing.

The content inside is all about Lin Xu.

Lin Xu in her eyes.

Fu Yin held the diary in his hand, and felt an urge to pry it open to see what was written there.

In fact, she almost forgot, but she remembered only one sentence clearly: Lin Xu is not my brother, he is the person I like.

There were several knocks on the door. Fu Yin, who was originally in a daze, reacted instantly, shuddered, and then looked towards the door.

I looked up at the time on the clock and thought that Lin Xu must have returned at this time.

Fu Yin curled his lips and immediately stood up and walked to the door.

Without thinking too much, she turned the doorknob and opened the door.

The moment she opened the door, a black sack was instantly put over her head.

"ah--"

Fu Yin screamed, but before she could call for help, she was knocked unconscious by the drug inside.

"Wake her up."

While she was fuzzy, she heard a familiar deep voice.

The next second, a basin of cold water poured down directly on my head.

The water with ice cubes poured down and poured into her nasal cavity, choking her so that she couldn't breathe at all.

She was breathing heavily, and then someone took the sack off her head and slapped her face hard.

"It's time to wake up."

Fu Yin closed her eyes, her face covered with water droplets. After being choked by the water, she lowered her head and spat out several mouthfuls of water, then started coughing violently.

She frowned, and before she could figure out what was going on, someone grabbed her chin.

The man was so strong that he almost dislocated her jaw, and the pain made her scalp numb.

"Are you awake now?"

Fu Yin opened his eyes dazedly, and the moment he saw the person in front of him, his eyes widened in horror.
