Chapter 41: Quickly Wearing and Falling in Love with the Dark CEO (Twenty-three)
The biting cold went straight up from my feet to my heart. I grabbed Lin Yehan's hand, my nails almost digging into his flesh. "What did you say? What do you mean by missing? What happened?!"
Lin Yehan held my hand in his, trying to give me strength. "Calm down first. Things may still turn around." He paused and looked at the uninvited guest with complicated eyes. "Who is this..."
"My name is Lin Shuang," the man said with a faint smile on his face, but he didn't seem to have any warmth in his smile. "I'm here to help you."
I stared at him like he was a monster. "Help us? What do you know? Why should I trust you?"
Lin Shuang walked to the window slowly and pulled open the heavy curtains. The sunlight instantly filled the entire room. "I know that Feng Chenyang and Shen Yichen are still alive, and I can help you save them."
I stood up suddenly, and because of the big movement, my vision went dark and I almost fell down. Lin Yehan supported me in time and stared at Lu Ziang sharply, "Who are you? Why are you helping us?"
Lin Shuang turned around, his eyes deep, "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that we have a common enemy." He walked to the bedside table, picked up a file bag, and threw it in front of me, "This contains everything you want to know, and it is also the key to your next action."
I opened the document bag with shaking hands, and inside were some photos and documents. The photos showed a huge underground casino, full of people, smoke and miasma. The documents detailed the operation model of this casino, the source of funds, and the controller behind it - a transnational criminal organization called "Obsidian".
"'Obsidian'?!" I exclaimed in surprise. I was familiar with this name. I had heard of it before when I was investigating the rivals of the Lin Group, but I never thought that they would be involved in my brother's missing case.
Lin Shuang nodded, "Yes, 'Obsidian' is much larger and more complicated than you think. They are involved in many fields, including arms smuggling, drug trafficking, human trafficking, etc. Kidnapping Feng Chenyang and Shen Yichen is only a small part of their plan."
My heart sank to the bottom, and a feeling of powerlessness swept over my body. Lin Yehan held my shoulders and said firmly, "Don't worry, we will definitely rescue Chen Yang and Shen Yichen, and we will also make 'Obsidian' pay the price!"
Lin Shuang's words were like a bomb, exploding between us, and the air seemed to freeze. The Lin Group, my family, actually had a thousand connections with a transnational criminal organization, how could this be possible? !
"I don't believe it!" I raised my head and looked directly into Lu Ziang's eyes. "What evidence do you have for everything you said? What is your purpose?"
Lin Shuang didn't say anything, but walked to the desk, turned on the computer, and pulled out a document. I recognized it at a glance. It was a list of Lin's Group's investment projects in recent years, which clearly recorded the flow of every sum of funds.
"Look for yourself," Lin Shuang pointed at a string of codes on the screen, "These seemingly normal investment projects are actually money laundering channels for Obsidian. And your father was probably killed by them because he discovered this secret."
I was shaking all over, I couldn't believe my eyes. My father's death has always been the biggest mystery in my heart. Could it be that all this was true?
"No, it's impossible..." I fell weakly on the sofa, my mind in a mess.
At this moment, Lin Yehan's cell phone suddenly rang. He answered the call and his face instantly turned livid.
"What did you say?!" He stood up suddenly, his tone stern, "Activate the emergency plan immediately, stabilize the situation at all costs!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yehan grabbed my hand and said hurriedly, "Yuwei...she called a board meeting ahead of time. Now the company is in chaos. We must go back immediately!"
My heart sank suddenly. Lin Yuwei, the woman whom I had always regarded as my sister, actually took action against the Lin Group!
Without time to think, Lin Yehan and I immediately rushed back to the company. As soon as we arrived at the company building, we saw a group of employees gathered at the door, talking, with anxiety and uneasiness on their faces.
"I heard that President Lin has been sidelined, and now Lin Yuwei is the acting president of the company!"
"After Lin Yuwei came to power, she carried out drastic reforms, and many old employees were fired!"
"Everyone in the company is in a panic now. What can we do if this continues?"
Listening to the employees' words, my heart sank. Lin Yuwei, what on earth do you want to do? !
Lin Yehan and I rushed into the company and saw a chaotic scene. Employees gathered in groups of three or five, talking anxiously and in low voices, and everyone's face was full of anxiety. I had never seen such a chaotic scene in the company, and a chill ran from my feet to my heart.
Lin Yehan's face turned pale, and he walked straight to the CEO's office, but was stopped by the secretary. "CEO Lin, Vice CEO Lin said that no one is allowed to enter without her permission."
"How dare you!" Lin Yehan was furious. "I'm the president of the Lin Group. I have the final say here!"
The secretary looked embarrassed and said hesitantly: "But, Vice President Lin..."
"Enough!" I couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so I pushed the secretary away and grabbed Lin Yehan's wrist, "Let's go to the conference room!"
In the conference room, Lin Yuwei was sitting in the main seat, flipping through documents with a smug look on her face. When she saw us come in, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Hey, aren't these my brother and sister-in-law? How come you have time to come to the company today?"
"Lin Yuwei, what on earth do you want to do?!" I glared at the woman in front of me. The sisterhood we once had was long gone.
"What do I want to do? I just want to take back what belongs to me." Lin Yuwei put down the documents and said slowly, "Brother, you should know that Dad has always favored you and handed over the power of the company to you. What about me? I can only follow behind you like a shadow. Why?!"
"Just because you are so cruel and ruthless, and you will do anything to get what you want?!" Lin Yehan was furious. "You colluded with a criminal organization, framed me, and now you want to swallow up the entire Lin Group. You are simply insane!"
"The victors win and the losers lose. History is written by the victors." Lin Yuwei sneered and said, "Brother, you lost, so just accept your fate!"
I held Lin Yehan's hand tightly. His hand was icy cold. I knew he must be desperate. But I couldn't give up. We couldn't just watch the Lin Group be destroyed!
"Lin Yuwei, you won't succeed!" I raised my head, my eyes determined, "We will definitely expose your true face and let everyone know your crimes!"
Lin Yuwei's words were like a sharp knife, piercing my heart. Despair rushed over me like a tide, and I could hardly breathe. Could it be that we really have to watch the Lin Group fall into the hands of this serpentine woman?
At this moment, my cell phone suddenly rang. It was Shen Yichen calling! I seemed to have grasped the last straw and answered the call tremblingly.
"Hey, Yi Chen, how's Chen Yang? Are you guys okay?" My voice was filled with anxiety and uneasiness.
"Zi'ang, calm down and listen to me," Shen Yichen's voice sounded a little tired, but still calm. "We are safe now, you don't have to worry. We met a mysterious man who saved us and told me some very important information."
My heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Could there be a turn for the better? I suppressed my excitement and asked, "What information?"
"This criminal organization is far more complex than we thought, and their target is not just the Lim Group,"
Shen Yichen paused, his tone becoming serious, "It seems that there is a bigger international conspiracy behind them, and the Lin Group is just a part of their plan."
International conspiracy? A terrifying thought suddenly emerged in my mind. Is there any shocking secret hidden behind this?
"Who is it? Who is behind all this?" I asked anxiously.
However, there was a sudden busy tone on the other end of the phone, and Shen Yichen's voice stopped abruptly.
"Hello? Hello? Yi Chen, can you hear me?" I shouted loudly into the phone, but the only response I got was a cold busy tone.
My heart instantly sank to the bottom, and a foreboding feeling came over me. What on earth had happened? Why did Shen Yichen suddenly stop talking in the middle of his speech? Could it be that they were in danger again?
Just when I was extremely anxious, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open roughly from the outside, and several men in black walked in with expressionless faces. Behind them stood a person I had never expected...
