The middle-aged man's name was Lin Qiang, and he was Lin Shan's half-brother.

He arrived at Qihang Technology's impressive building with trepidation, his heart pounding.

This building is much more impressive and modern than his older brother Lin Shan's company.

The security guards at the entrance all exuded a sense of competence.

"Hello, I'm looking for Lin Fan, Mr. Lin." Lin Qiang walked to the front desk, trying his best to appear calm.

The receptionist politely asked, "Do you have an appointment?"

"An appointment? No... I'm his uncle, his biological uncle!" Lin Qiang emphasized the words "biological uncle," hoping for some special treatment.

The receptionist maintained her professional smile: "I'm sorry, I can't let you in without an appointment. You can call Mr. Lin first, or wait here for a moment while I contact Mr. Lin's secretary for you."

Lin Qiang became anxious. "This... I really have something urgent! It's a matter of life and death! Please help me contact someone quickly!"

Seeing his anxiety, the receptionist dialed the secretary's office.

"Hello... There's a gentleman who claims to be Mr. Lin's uncle, saying he has urgent business to discuss with Mr. Lin... Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, the receptionist apologized to Lin Qiang, saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin is very busy right now and doesn't have time to see you. If you need anything, please leave your contact information, and I will pass it on to him when he has time."

"Busy? No time?" Lin Qiang immediately snapped.

"No matter how busy he is, is it more important than his own uncle's affairs? His older brother is dying! How can he still have the mind to work?"

The receptionist was taken aback by his outburst, but she patiently explained, "Sir, please calm down. Mr. Lin is really busy. If you don't believe me, you can call him yourself."

Lin Qiang took out his phone and dialed Lin Fan's number. It rang several times, but no one answered.

"He's not answering? He's not answering my calls!"

Lin Qiang's face turned ashen with rage. "Fine, fine, fine! Lin Fan, you've got some nerve! You're really something! You won't even answer your own uncle's call! You just wait! You'll regret this!"

He stomped his foot angrily, turned around and left, cursing all the while.

"Ungrateful wretch! What an ungrateful wretch! We should never have adopted him in the first place! Now that he's all grown up, he doesn't even recognize his family anymore! Bah!"

The atmosphere in Qihang Technology's conference room remained tense.

Fine beads of sweat had already formed on Manager Zhang's forehead.

"President Lin, I've done my best..." Manager Zhang's voice was a little hoarse, "The Song family has too much influence in the media. Almost all mainstream media have remained silent, and we can't make a sound at all..."

Lin Fan frowned. He knew that the media campaign was key to this business war. If they couldn't let the public know about the Song family's dealings with Alpha, they would remain on the defensive.

"Isn't there a single media outlet willing to report on this?" Lin Fan pressed.

Manager Zhang took a deep breath and nodded: "There are... there are a few small media outlets that... they are willing to report on it, but their influence is limited..."

"Small media outlets?" A glint of light flashed in Lin Fan's eyes.

"It's better than nothing! Contact them immediately, send them the preliminary evidence we have, and ask them to release it as soon as possible!"

"Yes, Mr. Lin!" Manager Zhang, as if grasping at a lifeline, immediately took out his phone and began contacting those small media outlets.

"The headline must be eye-catching! The content must be true! The wording must be sharp! We must make sure the public notices this!" Lin Fan added from the side.

While on the phone, Manager Zhang quickly jotted down Lin Fan's requirements in his notebook.

"Yes, yes... The title will be 'A Shocking Conspiracy! The Song Family Colludes with Alpha, What Are Their Intentions?'... As for the content, we will provide detailed evidence... Yes, we will provide exclusive scoops... Thank you, thank you for your courage and sense of justice..."

After hanging up the phone, Manager Zhang breathed a sigh of relief: "President Lin, it's all settled! They promised to release it first thing tomorrow morning!"

"Okay!" Lin Fan nodded. "This is just the first step. Next, we need to continue to expand our influence in public opinion!"

On the other hand, Marketing Manager Wang also made a breakthrough.

"President Lin, I've found out!" Manager Wang's voice was tinged with excitement. "Alpha Corporation, they're up to something with their technology!"

"Oh?" Lin Fan immediately perked up. "What's going on?"

"Some of their core technologies are suspected of infringing on the patents of other companies! Moreover, the holders of these patents are not large companies, but small companies, or even individuals!"

"These small companies and individuals simply don't have the ability to compete with giants like Alpha, so they've been angry but dared not speak out!"

"Great!" Lin Fan slammed his hand on the table. "Excellent! This is our breakthrough!"

He immediately instructed Manager Wang: "Manager Wang, go and collect this evidence immediately, the more detailed the better! Then, contact those small companies and individuals whose rights have been infringed, and tell them that Qihang Technology is willing to provide them with legal assistance to help them seek justice from Alpha Company!"

"President Lin, I understand!" Manager Wang also became excited. "This is definitely Alfa's Achilles' heel! As long as we seize this opportunity, we can make their lives a nightmare!"

Meanwhile, Ye Yuyan's contact with Song Qingfeng also made crucial progress.

"Miss Ye, are you telling the truth?"

Song Qingfeng's voice carried a hint of doubt, "Can you really represent Qihang Technology? Can you really convince Lin Fan to cooperate with me?"

Ye Yuyan sat in the luxurious tea room, her posture elegant.

“Mr. Song, my presence here represents my sincerity. I represent not only Qihang Technology, but also Lin Fan. As for cooperation, we can begin at any time, as long as you are willing.”

Song Qingfeng was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I have always opposed my elder brother's cooperation with Alpha. I believe it is like drinking poison to quench thirst, and it will destroy the foundation of the Song family. However, I am of little influence and cannot change my elder brother's decision at all."

"Therefore, you need a powerful ally."

Ye Yuyan continued, "And Qihang Technology is your best choice."

Song Qingfeng raised his head, looked at Ye Yuyan, and hesitated in his eyes: "Why should I believe you? Your Qihang Technology is struggling to survive, how can you possibly help me?"

Ye Yuyan smiled slightly: "Mr. Song, you should know that even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Although Qihang Technology is facing difficulties, our strength should not be underestimated. Moreover, we have a common enemy, namely Song Qingming and Alpha. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, isn't that right?"

A hint of hesitation appeared on Song Qingfeng's face.

“Alright, Miss Ye,” Song Qingfeng finally spoke.

“I can consider cooperating with Qihang Technology. However, I have one condition.”

"What are the conditions?" Ye Yuyan asked.

"I want to see Lin Fan," Song Qingfeng said. "I want to talk to him in person."

“No problem.” Ye Yuyan agreed without hesitation. “I will arrange for you to meet as soon as possible.”

"Alright!" Song Qingfeng nodded. "It's a deal!"

"It's a deal!" Ye Yuyan extended her hand and gently shook hands with Song Qingfeng.
