Chapter 241: Digging a Pit for the Starlight Group
“What kind of smell is that?”
“Is there?” Lin Chang feigned innocence, “Maybe you’re just imagining things.”
Lin Chang sat down on the office chair.
“Alright, Wan’er, what do you want with me?”
Lin Qingwan frowned. Was it really her imagination?
“Dad, I’ve found out that Xiao Xuan’s company is developing a game,” Lin Qingwan said.
“Lin Xuan actually dared to enter the gaming industry!” Lin Chang erupted in fury.
“Of course! The Sky Canopy Group founded by Lin Xuan was meant to ruin our company!”
Lin Chang gritted his teeth, “Does Lin Xuan really think he can stand up to the Starlight Group? How laughable!”
“Dad, how should we respond now?” Lin Qingwan asked.
Lin Chang ordered, “You continue gathering information on what game they’re making, the more detailed, the better.”
“Yes, I’ll arrange it right away,” Lin Qingwan nodded.
At the Sky Canopy Group.
“Boss, did you come today for any particular reason?” Lei Hui inquired.
“Not really, I’m just casually taking a look around,” Lin Xuan coughed lightly.
He couldn’t possibly say he was hiding from Hua Bao, could he?
Worried his health wouldn’t hold up, he used work as an excuse to flee.
And why not use school as an excuse? Because Hua Bao could call the principal and get him excused anytime.
“Boss,” Lei Hui grinned mischievously at Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan patted his arm, “Uncle Lei, wh-what’s wrong?”
The way he looked at him was like a wolf spotting meat—kinda scary.
“Since you’re here, boss, take a look at these documents,” Lei Hui chuckled, placing a huge stack of papers in front of Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan: “…”
Resigning himself to fate, Lin Xuan sat before Lei Hui’s desk and started flipping through the files, pen in hand, occasionally jotting something down.
Lei Hui watched with a satisfied grin.
Finally caught the boss. Wanting to completely delegate everything? What a waste of such talent!
A secretary knocked and entered the office, “Mr. Lei, someone is secretly investigating the game our company is developing; it’s probably someone from the Starlight Group.”
The secretary noticed Lin Xuan and immediately added respectfully, “Boss.”
“They’ve finally made their move,” Lin Xuan smirked coldly.
Lei Hui was surprised, “Boss, you anticipated this?”
“Hmm,” Lin Xuan nodded, “Lin Chang definitely doesn’t want me to have it easy, so naturally he’d try to snoop on our game to prepare a countermeasure.”
These countermeasures were dirty, though.
Lei Hui asked, “So what should we do now? Should we keep everything under wraps?”
“No, since they want to know so badly, let them know,” Lin Xuan smirked coldly.
“Boss, you mean…” Lei Hui’s face lit up with curiosity.
“Turn their plan against them,” Lin Xuan said simply.
Lei Hui’s eyes sparkled.
Looks like the boss was setting a trap for the Starlight Group.
“It’s been prepared already.”
Lin Xuan pulled out a USB drive, “Secretary Wang, print out the contents of this.”
“Yes, Boss.”
The secretary quickly returned with the printed documents and placed them on the desk.
“Uncle Lei, find a way to make sure they know about the content here,” Lin Xuan picked up his coffee cup and sipped leisurely.
Lei Hui picked up the document, astonished, “Isn’t this the game we’re developing? Boss, are you really giving it to them?”
“Uncle Lei, don’t worry, I have a plan,” Lin Xuan’s eyes flashed with a cold gleam, “I’ll make Lin Chang taste his own medicine.”
That’s right.
Lei Hui nodded.
What was there to worry about? Their boss wasn’t the type to lose easily. The one who should be worried was Lin Chang.
Lei Hui’s eyes gleamed with interest.
The boss was digging a pit for the Starlight Group to jump into.
But what exactly was the pit?
Lin Li had been tirelessly caring for Jiang Shuqin in the hospital for several days. Once she was discharged, he couldn’t help but log onto the dark web.
[When will you act against Lin Xuan?]
The reply came: [Soon, I still have a few things to handle, but rest assured, Mr., we always succeed.]
They were brimming with confidence.
Dealing with a weak pretty boy like Lin Xuan was no challenge.
[I’ll cut off that part of him as you requested, torture him, and take nude photos of him.]
The person couldn’t help but marvel.
This was brutal—turning a normal man into a eunuch, wanting him to suffer worse than death.
[Good, hurry up.]
Lin Li urged.
He couldn’t wait to see Lin Xuan’s downfall.
He just turned off the computer when pain shot through him again. Drenched in sweat, Lin Li knelt on one knee, veins bulging on his hand.
“Lin Xuan, I’ll make you suffer the same pain as me!” Lin Li gritted his teeth, speaking word by word.
“You just wait!”
“Aaaah—”
Lin Li clutched his injured area, rolling on the floor in agony.
—
At the Starlight Group.
Lin Qingwan hesitated outside the chairman’s office door, unsure whether or not to tell Lin Chang about the matter.
Wang Yajun walked out of the office.
She curiously asked, “Young Miss, why are you standing here and not going in?”
“Wang Secretary,” Lin Qingwan pursed her lips, “I have something, but I’m not sure if I should tell Dad.”
“What is it?” Wang Yajun asked curiously.
Lin Qingwan recounted everything.
Wang Yajun curiously replied, “Young Miss, why shouldn’t you tell the chairman this?”
“But Dad has always been upset that Xiao Xuan hasn’t returned to the Lin family. If I tell him, he might target Xiao Xuan’s company. I don’t want to see them fight to the death in business,” Lin Qingwan bit her lip.
“Miss, this is only temporary pain. Most of Master Lin’s company operations overlap with the Starlight Group. They are destined to compete. The best outcome would be merging the Sky Canopy Group into the Starlight Group.”
“Once it grows, then it’ll truly be a fight to the death.”
Wang Yajun analyzed to Lin Qingwan.
A shadow of malice flickered in her eyes.
She absolutely couldn’t let Lin Xuan grow!
Lin Qingwan nodded.
Wang Secretary was right; forcing Xiao Xuan back now was the best choice.
That woman was a threat.
If Xiao Xuan returned home and got engaged to Shen Qianqian, it would drive that woman away from Xiao Xuan.
If they waited any longer, influenced and brainwashed by that woman, Xiao Xuan might completely sever ties with the Lin family, which was something she didn’t want to see.
“Thank you, Wang Secretary,” Lin Qingwan felt especially good about Wang Yajun.
“Miss, it’s my duty,” Wang Yajun smiled.
“I’ll go busy myself now.”
Wang Yajun left with some documents.
Lin Qingwan took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
“Wan’er.”
Lin Chang was straightening his suit, asking, “What is it?”
Lin Qingwan curiously asked, “Dad, why does your break room smell so sweet?”
