Chapter 92



The press conference is still proceeding in an orderly manner.

At this time inside the Chen Group, plainclothes policemen stood with Special Assistant Xu, and the conference room was full of suspects of the crimes that had caused these internal incidents of the Chen Group. These suspects looked at Special Assistant Xu with disbelief, as if they had never expected things to turn out the way they are now. Their plans had been proceeding in an orderly manner, and they had not even noticed anything unusual when dealing with Chen Shiming's people some time ago. How come plainclothes police officers came to Chen's all of a sudden! ?

When these people were taken away from their workstations by the police, they had never anticipated this outcome.

Chen Liyao's face was full of surprise when he was pushed into the conference room, but his expression immediately changed when he saw the people gathered in the conference room. He avoided the gazes of those people and looked at Chen Shiming's assistant, Special Assistant Xu, and asked, "Assistant Xu, what's going on? Did you misunderstand something?"

"Misunderstanding?" Special Assistant Xu answered calmly, "If you mean that you tipped off outsiders, destroyed important documents in the company's public property, and colluded with others to maliciously cause a vicious business incident, then I don't think it's a misunderstanding."

Chen Liyao was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly changed, "You can't arrest me, I want to see Brother Shi Ming..."

Special Assistant Xu ignored him, but looked at the serious-looking policemen, submitted relevant evidence materials in cooperation with the investigation, and said in a kind tone: "Comrade police, this is part of the evidence materials provided by our company. I'm sorry to bother you with this matter."

"It's okay. It's my duty." The police officer took the materials from Special Assistant Xu and said in a serious tone, "When the time comes, we will need your assistance in investigating some matters. We will contact you immediately if there is any situation."

Special Assistant Xu stood up straight: "No problem."

Chen Liyao tried to break free from the police's restraints, but was scolded and forced to squat on the ground.

This shouldn’t be the case… How could they be discovered? They even entered an important meeting room for a meeting yesterday.

Moreover, during this period of time, the Chen family didn't pay any attention to him. He acted very freely and no one stopped him from spreading the news.

A huge sense of panic crept into his heart, but at this moment his mobile phone had been confiscated and he could not contact anyone else at all. Looking at the group executives, managers, etc. who usually contacted him... at a glance, almost no one was left out. He felt a chill in his heart, knowing that they were completely finished.

At the press conference, Chen Shiming gave a detailed explanation of the project defects in Y City and even presented a favorable appraisal report issued by the local Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau of Y City. Lin Shizhong was completely unable to listen to Chen Shiming's explanation in the live broadcast, and instead asked others to immediately contact the informant who was still inside the Chen company. However, when they called, most people's phones were not connected. When he contacted the key person, he immediately heard the hesitation in the other party's words and realized something was wrong.

The assistant hung up the phone immediately, took out the SIM card and destroyed it immediately.

Lin Shizhong's face turned pale. "Tell the others to destroy all contact information immediately. Don't let the police trace back to the Lin Group. Also, immediately deal with all channels of contact with the Chen Group. They may be setting up a trap..."

This is more than just a setup. They have been planning for so long, but they were completely unaware of the news at the press conference.

Now they can't contact the informant they left inside Chen's company, and it is very likely that he has been controlled. It is only a matter of time before he is tracked down to them.

The live broadcast in the office continued. The speaker on the tablet had changed. After Chen Shiming finished explaining the situation in Y City, Chen Jianhong stood up and proposed an important cooperation in front of the reporters and the media. "Thank you all for your support for Chen Group. Today, I would like to take this opportunity to focus on the construction of Pengkang Building, which is planned to be cooperated with Gu Group in B City, in the next quarter..."

Lin Shizhong's hand holding the phone trembled slightly, and he opened his eyes wide to watch Gu Zhengxun appear at the press conference of the Chen Group. This kind of cooperation should have been planned first and then announced publicly, but Chen Jianhong directly announced the news at the press conference.

The Gu Group's bidding for the construction of Pengkang Building in City B has been out for a long time. Cooperation with Beijing Gu is a huge opportunity for the industry, and many qualified companies are competing for it. Some time ago, there was news that the construction of Gu's Pengkang Building was handed over to Gu Zhengxun, but he did not expect that this opportunity fell on Chen.

In order to support Chen Jianhong, Gu Zhengxun even went to the scene in person.

Chen Jianhong actually reached such a cooperation with Gu Zhengxun, but there was no news about such cooperation before... He originally planned to use public opinion pressure to suppress Chen and bring as much pressure as possible to Chen, but when the news of the cooperation with Pengkang Building came out, let alone suppressing Chen, the large amount of funds brought by the cooperation with Pengkang was enough for Chen to relieve the pressure during this period, and it might even lead to an increase in stock prices.

This cooperation is enough to directly defeat all his efforts during this period.

Lin Shizhong didn't understand why there was no news about such important news as Pengkang Building. There was no news inside the Chen family, and Gu Shen didn't tell him that Gu Zhengxun gave such an important project as Pengkang to Chen Jianhong... This was completely beyond his expectations. If he had known that Chen Jianhong had such a big trick in his hand, he would never agree to take action against the Chen family during this period.

Lin Shizhong called Gu Shen, but no one answered the call. Seeing this, Lin Shizhong's heart sank. He was used to being cautious and had a strong intuition about danger. He immediately said, "Contact the airport immediately. We have to leave S City immediately."

The assistant planned to contact the airport, but before he could, new news broke out on the Internet. Someone from Lin's public relations department called tremblingly. The assistant's face turned pale after hearing this. He said with trembling hands: "Boss Lin, something big has happened."

When Chen's press conference was about to end, a flood of press releases appeared on the Internet, with some pictures attached, directly pointing out the criminal facts that S City Lin's Medical was suspected of producing and selling illegal contraband. There was also a photo of Lin Shizhong attached, and it seemed that there was capital push behind it. When the news broke, it immediately caused a huge publicity wave on the Internet.

As one of the leading pharmaceutical companies in China, Lin's Medical produces many drugs on the market and is well-known among the public. When netizens who were familiar with Lin’s medical products saw the news, all kinds of panic-stricken remarks immediately spread online, and the word "explosive" directly became popular on the Internet.

[I’m going?] ! Lin's Medical! ? 】

[No way... What is illegal contraband? I get scared when I see this. 】

[Lin’s medicine?] ! I was still taking their antibiotics yesterday, here I go! 】

[Is there any official who can say something? This is too scary! 】

This kind of news could not be suppressed at all. Even though the Lin Group suppressed public opinion as soon as it received the news, there were people pushing it behind the scenes, escalating the incident and pushing it to a climax of public opinion.

Lin Shizhong was able to remain calm at first, but when he saw the news, he knew it was all over. The cooperation with the Gu family has been going on for several years. They have been keeping this matter secret. Even the Sun family, who is responsible for their transportation, only knows a little about it. However, judging from the various accusations and capital pressure that appeared in the online press release, the other party obviously has evidence to back them up, so they dare to so arrogantly trigger public opinion on the Internet.

If it was a simple product issue, they could have remained calm and dealt with it. At most, the public opinion would have caused Lin to be depressed for a quarter or two. But he knew what he was doing. It involved a criminal case, and this matter could not be handled simply by suppressing public opinion... The state organs would not let them go.

Besides, the Gu family would probably just push him out...

"Boss, someone seems to be coming downstairs!" said the assistant.

Lin Shizhong didn't care about anything else, "Have you contacted the airport?"

"We've made the contact." The assistant's face turned pale as he continued, "We can go through the underground garage."

Lin Shizhong didn't have time to pack other things and hurriedly walked from the internal elevator to the underground garage.

But when he just arrived at the underground garage, he saw a person standing next to his car from afar. Lin Shizhong slowed down and saw clearly that the person standing next to his car was the young master of the Sun family who was sent abroad.

He frowned slightly, not expecting this person to be here, "Go drive another car, we can't leave in this car."

The assistant immediately went to drive his own car. Lin Shizhong didn't want to get involved with other people as he didn't have much time. Just when the assistant was reversing the car, Young Master Sun, who was standing next to Lin Shizhong's car, noticed the movement here. With a fierce look on his face, he rushed towards Lin Shizhong and pulled out a knife.

Before Lin Shizhong could react, Young Master Sun stabbed him with the knife.

Lin Shizhong fell to the ground, and Master Sun's eyes were red: "It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, my dad wouldn't have gone in, and my family wouldn't be like this!"

The assistant was completely stunned when he saw this situation and didn't dare to get out of the car.

At the entrance of the underground garage at the rear, the police who followed closely discovered the crime scene. Without saying a word, they rushed up and clamped the man with the knife. The others helped the fallen Lin Shizhong up. They had originally followed because they found Lin Shizhong running away, but they didn't expect that there were people lying in ambush in the underground garage, and they directly stabbed Lin Shizhong.

"Contact an ambulance quickly and control the scene!"

The Lin Group was in chaos. The online comments could not be suppressed. Chairman Lin Shizhong was stabbed in the underground garage... This series of events threw the entire Lin Group into panic.

When Flowered Shirt arrived at the scene, he saw chaos downstairs in the building. Police cars and ambulances were there, and many people involved in the case were taken away. He was shocked to see the scene and relayed it to his boss on the other end of the phone in real time: "That's about it. I heard he wanted to escape, but he was stabbed by someone he hated, and was taken away in an ambulance."

"Okay." Chen Qizhao hung up the phone.

The rain seemed to be getting heavier. Downstairs of a high-end hotel, only a few people were walking around.

Chen Qizhao walked to the hotel entrance, folded his umbrella and stood, looking towards the interior of the hotel.

At the Chen Group press conference, Chen Shiming retreated to the rest office and listened to Special Assistant Xu's report on the situation in the group on the other end of the phone. This finalization was a plan he and his father Chen Jianhong had prepared long ago. They had already reported the case to the police before holding the press conference, and were preparing to finish off the work and arrest all those who were reckless and causing chaos within the Chen Group.

After hanging up the phone, an assistant came running over in a hurry, looking anxious: "Mr. Chen, something went wrong online, take a look."

Chen Shiming paused for a moment, and his expression suddenly changed when he saw the relevant public opinion. He frowned and said, "Where is Chen Qizhao? Did he come to the company today?"

"The Second Young Master didn't come here. He just came here once a few days ago." The assistant replied, "It seems that he went to get something from Assistant Xu at that time, and then he didn't come to the company again. Do we need to notify the Second Young Master to come over?"

Chen Shiming looked at the public opinion on the Internet about Lin's illegal and criminal activities. According to the plan, as the matter progressed, they could naturally release the evidence of Lin Shizhong's illegal and criminal activities and finally bring Lin Shizhong to justice. Gu Zhengsong is involved with too many people, so for the sake of safety it is best not to alert the enemy first and then make preparations before attacking Gu Zhengsong.

Instead of doing what he is doing now, it is too dangerous for Chen Qizhao to do this. With Gu Zhengsong's ability, he would have probably already started to investigate the source of the news when the news about Lin's family spread...

Chen Shiming immediately called Chen Qizhao, but no one answered his old call. He became nervous and called Zhang Yazhi.

Zhang Yazhi was watching the news at home. When she saw Chen Shiming's call, she answered it immediately, "Shiming, what's wrong?"

"Mom, is Qizhao home?" Chen Shiming's voice was a little flustered. "Did he not go out today?"

"He was at home in the morning, so he should not have gone out." Zhang Yazhi knew something was wrong when she heard Chen Shiming's voice. She hurriedly asked the housekeeper to go upstairs to check, but she heard the housekeeper say.

"The Second Young Master left three hours ago."

The housekeeper said, "You were still in the kitchen at the time. He said he had something to do and would be back later."

Zhang Yazhi was stunned, but Chen Qizhao had clearly said that he would go back to his room to rest during breakfast, so she hurriedly asked, "Isn't Xiaozhao with you?"

"Not here." Chen Shiming felt an inexplicable panic in his heart. Too many things had happened in the Chen Group during this period. He didn't want Chen Qizhao to encounter too many dangers, so he took on a lot of work. He also noticed that Chen Qizhao was acting strange, but every time he wanted to talk to Chen Qizhao about these things in detail, the other party cleverly avoided the topic.

He also informed Chen Qizhao about the press conference. At that time, Chen Qizhao's attitude was casual and he tacitly agreed that the matter should be handled by him and his father. According to their plan, this shouldn't be the case. He thought about the Lin family being investigated a while ago, and then thought about today's situation...

Chen Qizhao is taking a risk. Is he crazy? The people on the other side are all desperadoes, how could he dare to take such a risk.

Chen Shiming called Assistant Xu and learned from him about Chen Qizhao's visit to the company a few days ago. "Did you give him all the information?"

Special Assistant Xu paused for a moment, but still said truthfully: "Yes, didn't you say that before? There is no need to hide it from the Second Young Master."

"Yes." Chen Shiming's eyes darkened a little, but the premise of not hiding it was that the other party would not take risks in private.

At this time, the assistant who had gone out to inquire about the situation came back: "Mr. Chen, I just asked, the second young master came once this morning, but he has already left."

Chen Shiming: "When did you leave?"

"About an hour ago." The assistant replied: "Some staff members outside said that the second young master left by car at that time, and they didn't know where he went."

Inside a slightly dark room in a high-end hotel in the city center, an Internet TV was broadcasting a live broadcast. Gu Zhengxun and Chen Jianhong were talking and laughing so much that Gu Shen smashed two cups. The middle-aged man next to him said nothing and continued to report the situation at Lin's. "We are completely disconnected from the people inside Chen's. Chen Liyao can't be contacted... I just sent someone to check on Chen Jianting's house and found that there were people around their house. They may have been controlled."

In other words, the public pressure that the Chen family has been under during this period is all a conspiracy of the Chen family, and it is all staged by them. Not only all the people they arranged, but also the Lin Group, the Chen family has already controlled some evidence, and deliberately waited for them to start the plan, in order to use this time to deploy troops and then catch everyone in one fell swoop.

The police went in and out of the Chen and Lin families. The other side was well prepared. Chen Jianting's family was completely ruined. And with the news on the Internet, Lin Shizhong could no longer be used as a chess piece.

"Have someone cut off all contact with the Lin Group immediately, destroy all evidence, and don't answer any calls from Lin Shizhong." Gu Shen's face turned gloomy and scary. "From now on, we have nothing to do with the Lin Group. Do you understand?"

The middle-aged man immediately said: "We have already arranged this matter. It's about Mr. Gu. We need..."

Ever since the incident of the illegitimate child broke out last time, Gu Zhengsong has had a lot of trouble. In addition, a lot of people from the Gu family are watching him, so the interactions between Gu Shen and Gu Zhengsong can only be reduced. Besides, Gu Zhengsong had handed over the cooperation between the suburbs of Beijing and the Lin Group to him several years ago... Gu family is a place where the strong prey on the weak, and there are those traditional concepts that are laughable. Gu Shen knew from a very young age that he had to fight for what he wanted. If he wanted to catch Gu Zhengsong's eye, he had to be outstanding.

And now he is indeed favored by Gu Zhengsong, but this favor is accompanied by too many interests.

Gu Shen looked at the two people in the live broadcast, and his resentment towards Gu Zhengxun and the Chen family grew deeper and deeper. Sure enough, from the very beginning, he should not have allowed Lin Shizhong to be indecisive and leave this threat until now...Gu Zhengsong was already dissatisfied with him about the jade necklace. Now the channel of cooperation with Lin's was completely broken, and they had to find a way to finish it off and clean up all the relations with Lin's.

Thinking about the fact that Chen's company had not been completely dealt with and the mess Lin Shizhong had on his hands, Gu Shen found it extremely difficult. He had been confident of winning from the beginning, so how did things develop to this point today! ?

"Let's not talk about Mr. Gu for now. If he contacts us, just say we can handle this matter."

There is no way that this matter could be told to Gu Zhengsong. There have been a lot of troubles in the capital because of Gu Zhengxun. If the Lin family's affairs are not handled properly at this stage, it will only bring trouble to the Gu family. Gu Shen looked at the discussion online and asked sinisterly, "It's normal for Lin Shizhong to be arrested because of Chen's affairs, but why were his channels exposed? "

For such a long time, Gu Shen thought he had done everything carefully, and his business with Lin's Medical had not encountered any problems for so many years. How could it be exposed by such a coincidence... and once it was exposed, there was no time left for them to react.

The middle-aged man said, "It is very likely that the Chen family and the Shen family have joined forces. The Shen family has been very quiet recently, and I thought they had given up. I didn't expect that they found out more than we did... Police officers had already gone to the Lin family before the incident was exposed online, and we dealt with the problem immediately."

The Shen family, the Chen family...

Gu Shen lost his patience. He was provoked and defeated by that person one after another. "Where is that person? I gave you so much time, and he did so many things, but you still haven't found him?"

He fought with the man behind the Chen family twice. The first time, he asked Lin Shizhong to target the Chen family, but the man used Lin Shizhong's opponents to target the Lin family. The second time, he used public opinion to put pressure on Chen, who in turn exposed all of Lin's activities and allowed the Chen Group to make a comeback at a press conference, not only clarifying everything but also publicly announcing its cooperation with Gu Zhengxun's Pengkang Building.

"We suspected that the person who had been helping the Chen family was most likely a member of the Chen family." The middle-aged man lowered his head and said, "Before the incident, I received some information saying that the person who reported Lin Shizhong was from the Chen family. If we check it based on the clues we got before, we can basically identify two targets."

"Deal with Lin Shizhong's matter immediately, so that he won't bite us. There are a lot of things going on recently, so we should put this matter aside first, and deal with the rest after the storm is over." Gu Shen suppressed his anger, wiped the water stains on the table with a tissue, and spoke calmly about the next arrangements: "Two targets? Then deal with both of them."

The Chen family and the Shen family... Gu Shen's eyes were dark.

Once these things are dealt with, no one can escape. If these people dared to ruin his plan at this time, don't blame him for being too ruthless. After all, those who should be warned have been warned. It's just that they insisted on going to hell themselves, so he could only send them on their way.

The middle-aged man was about to go out when he suddenly received a call.

After answering the call, he immediately switched to the web page. Seeing the latest news on the Internet, he looked at Gu Shen tremblingly.

"Sir, this is bad."

Inside the Shen Group's meeting room.

Father Shen and Shen Xuelan were also paying attention to the press conference. When the news about the Lin family broke out, they both looked a little doubtful and surprised. This was completely different from what they had told the Chen family in advance. Before there was direct evidence against Gu Zhengsong, it was too risky to directly detonate the Lin family's matter.

"Lin Shizhong can't run away." Father Shen didn't quite understand. The Chen family should have resolved the crisis by now, and they shouldn't have directly exposed the fact that Lin Shizhong was involved in the illegal transportation of controlled substances.

Shen Xuelan: "Chen Shiming is not such an adventurous person. I'll call and ask."

Shen Yuhuai's eyes have been fixed on the video of the press conference. From the beginning of the live broadcast to now, he has not seen Chen Qizhao. Even when the camera was focused on the left area where the staff were, there was no Chen Qizhao. Judging from the level of attention Chen Qizhao has paid to Chen's affairs during this period, Chen Qizhao should be present at such an important press conference...

He lowered his eyes slightly, watching the increasingly heated discussions online, and his heart seemed to be blocked by something.

"I'm going out for a while." Shen Yuhuai said.

Father Shen hesitated and asked, “Where are you going at this time?”

At this time, Shen Xuelan suddenly frowned, her face changed drastically, and she said directly: "Look at the official media in City B."

Shen Yuhuai paused for a moment, his eyes stayed on Shen Xuelan's phone for two seconds, and then he walked out without saying a word.

After the on-site press conference ended, Chen Jianhong and Gu Zhengxun entered the inner lounge.

Chen Jianhong said: "Thanks to your help this time."

"You're welcome. In fact, your Chen family helped us more." Gu Zhengxun looked at Chen Jianhong meaningfully, "It's also a good thing for me to come out of the capital this time."

Chen Jianhong looked at him, somewhat puzzled by his words.

Gu Zhengxun patted Chen Jianhong on the shoulder. Since cooperating with the Chen family, the progress made was beyond his imagination. First, it was the jade necklace, and then the phone call a few days ago. "Jianhong, your two sons are very outstanding. Speaking of this, I still owe your family a favor."

Chen Jianhong paused for a moment, waiting for others to come over and report to him about the situation online.

His usually serious expression changed, and he understood what Gu Zhengxun meant.

#Official report: A company in City B is suspected of smuggling and distributing illegal drugs#
