Chapter 38: Quickly Wearing and Falling in Love with the Dark CEO (Twenty)
"Zi'ang, I'll give you a chance to explain, but there are more urgent things to deal with now." Lin Yehan's voice was as cold as an ice cone, piercing my heart. I froze in place, looking at him with tears in my eyes, but he had already turned and walked towards the study, his back was resolute and cold.
I know that the photo incident was a big blow to him, but now is obviously not the time to explain. The Lin Group is facing an unprecedented crisis. The headlines of major media are dominated by negative news about the Lin Group, and the stock price has plummeted.
"The funding chain of the Lin Group has broken and it is suspected to be facing a bankruptcy crisis!"
"Lin Group's products have been exposed for quality issues and may be boycotted by consumers!"
"The internal management of the Lin Group is in disarray, and the top management is constantly fighting among themselves. The group may be heading for decline!"
…
The eye-catching news headlines were like sharp blades, pushing the Lin Group to the forefront. I took a deep breath, tried to suppress the panic in my heart, and walked quickly into the study.
"Yehan, how are you doing now?" I tried my best to sound calm, but my clenched fists betrayed my nervousness.
Lin Yehan was sitting in front of the computer, browsing the news on the web with a gloomy face. When he heard my voice, he raised his head and a complex emotion flashed in his deep eyes.
"Someone is manipulating all of this behind the scenes, with the goal of completely destroying the Lin family." His voice was low and hoarse, with undisguised fatigue.
"Who is it? Why do they do this?" I exclaimed in shock. Countless possibilities flashed through my mind, but they were all denied one by one.
"It's not clear now, but I will find out." A sharp light flashed in Lin Yehan's eyes, "Zi'ang, this crisis is very serious. We need to fight side by side. Are you afraid?"
I took a deep breath, met his deep gaze, and shook my head firmly, "Don't be afraid! I will face it with you!"
The air in the study seemed to freeze, and I felt Lin Yehan's gaze falling on me, with scrutiny and inquiry.
I know that this sudden crisis has shaken his trust in me again. But I cannot back down. I want to prove myself and protect the Lin family together with him.
"Brother, Brother Yehan, are you okay?" The voice of his younger brother Chenyang broke the silence. He rushed in with an anxious look on his face, followed by Shen Yichen with a serious expression.
"We're fine, Chenyang, why are you here?" I asked, pretending to be calm.
"I guessed something happened when I saw the news. Don't worry, I have already contacted the public relations team and will do our best to control public opinion." Chen Yang said, turning his gaze to Lin Yehan, "Brother Yehan, I have already made arrangements with the technical department, and we will find out the source of this cyber attack as soon as possible."
Shen Yichen also stepped forward and handed a document to Lin Yehan, "This is the market data analysis I collected. Judging from the current situation, someone has maliciously manipulated market sentiment and deliberately spread news that is unfavorable to the Lin Group."
Lin Yehan took the document, frowned, and read it quickly. I stood beside him and could feel the strong aura emanating from him, the calmness and determination that was unique to facing a crisis.
"It seems that our opponent this time is not simple." Lin Yehan closed the file and said in a cold tone, "Zi'ang, you continue to follow up on public opinion control and make sure to minimize the negative impact. Yi Chen, please help me check which companies or individuals have been buying a large number of Lin's stocks recently."
"Okay, I'll do it right away." Chen Yang and Shen Yichen answered in unison, and then got busy.
Lin Yehan and I were the only ones left in the study. He stood by the window, his tall figure made particularly slender by the setting sun, yet revealing a trace of indescribable loneliness. I knew that this crisis was not only a business challenge for him, but also a test of humanity.
I walked over to him and gently held his hand: "Don't worry, Yehan, we can definitely get through this."
He turned his head, hugged my head and kissed my forehead. My figure was reflected in his deep eyes, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Zi'ang, thank you for always being with me."
"We are lovers who support each other, and we should advance and retreat together." I met his gaze and said firmly, "No matter what happens, I will not leave you."
He held my hand tightly with his backhand, and the warmth of his palm gave me strength. Suddenly, his cell phone rang, and an unfamiliar number appeared on the screen.
"Hello?" He answered the phone with a cold tone and a hint of vigilance.
A gloomy voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of joking: "Mr. Lin, long time no see, how have you been recently?"
My heart sank suddenly. This voice... was the mysterious person who threatened me on the phone that day!
Lin Yehan's face also darkened instantly. The joints of his fingers holding the phone turned pale as he spoke word by word: "It's you! What on earth do you want to do?!"
"What do I want to do? Haha, of course I want to see you defeated and ruined!" The other party laughed arrogantly, "Lin Yehan, you took away everything that originally belonged to me, I will make you pay the price! And the man next to you, I will make him live a life worse than death!"
"You dare!" Lin Yehan roared, his eyes burning with rage.
"Whether I dare or not, you will know soon!" The other party said and hung up the phone.
Lin Yehan threw his phone to the ground, breaking it into pieces. I had never seen him so out of control before, and I felt a pang of pain in my heart.
"Yehan, calm down!" I hugged him and tried to comfort him, "We can't let him succeed!"
He hugged me tightly, his body trembling slightly: "Zi'ang, I won't let him hurt you, I will definitely protect you!"
"I believe you." I raised my head, my eyes determined. "We can't just sit there and wait for death. We must take the initiative to find out who is behind this and protect everything we cherish!"
He took a deep breath, his eyes gradually regained their calmness, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You are right, it is time to fight back! I will make him pay a painful price for what he has done!"
"This number comes from abroad, and the technical department cannot track it." Shen Yichen put down the computer, frowning.
"It seems that the other party is well prepared. We have to find another way." Lin Yehan's face was solemn.
"I have an idea." I opened my notebook and pulled out a document. "Do you remember the overseas shell company I found when I was investigating the changes in the Lin Group's equity? I think it is very likely related to the mysterious man."
"You mean, we follow the clues and find the manipulator behind this company?" Lin Yehan's eyes flashed with admiration.
"Yes, I have contacted my friends at Interpol, and they provided some clues that this company is related to an international criminal organization called 'Obsidian'."
"Obsidian?" Lin Yehan's tone suddenly cooled. "I have heard of this organization. They are ruthless and have tentacles all over the world. They have only one goal, which is to control everything."
"That's right. Their goal is not just the Lin Group. They want to control the entire industry by controlling the Lin Group." My tone became serious. "We must stop them."
A war without gunpowder quietly started, and Lin Yehan and I led the team to fight against "Obsidian" in a battle of wits and courage. We conducted in-depth investigations, collected evidence, raced against time, and fought against the dark forces.
Finally, on a dark and windy night, we located a secret base of "Obsidian" in the suburbs of this city. Lin Yehan and I dressed up and sneaked in.
In the warehouse, several men in black were moving sealed boxes. I quietly opened one of the boxes, and it was full of weapons and ammunition!
"It seems that we guessed right. The ambition of 'Obsidian' is far greater than we imagined." Lin Ye lowered his voice, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
I immediately took out my micro camera and took photos of everything in the warehouse. At this moment, the door of the warehouse suddenly opened and a familiar figure appeared at the door. It was... Su Ran! It turned out that she escaped this time in collusion with foreign forces.
"Who are you?!" Su Ran obviously didn't expect to see us here. A trace of panic flashed across his eyes, but he quickly calmed down and sneered, "Since you're here, don't leave!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the warehouse suddenly went out, and the surroundings fell into darkness...
