Fujiwara fell silent for a moment. He naturally knew what was going on.

“Has Liuyun rarely asked about Lan Xiu’s matters recently?”

He thought about it and asked.

“Yes. After Miss Dongfang returned to the Dongfang Group, she basically didn’t ask about Master Lan Xiu’s matters anymore. The Dongfang Group’s matters have already made it difficult for her, so…” Matsuda replied softly.

“What’s the situation with the Dongfang Group now? I remember that she was never willing to touch those matters before.”

Fujiwara lowered his eyes and quietly drank his tea. However, his gaze was unusually complicated.

“Previously, President Gan had an accident in Myanmar. Fortunately, he wasn’t seriously injured, otherwise… The internal conflict within the Dongfang Group is already very intense now. As a qualified successor, Miss Dongfang should return to the company. However, Master, you also know about the Dongfang Group’s situation. Right now, on Dongfang Ren’s side, Dongfang Rou’er is in a marriage alliance with Jin Sheng, the eldest Master of the Jin family. Dongfang Ren’s strength has greatly increased. They still plan to…”

Upon hearing this, Fujiwara’s gaze darkened.

“Master, should we go and see Miss Dongfang now? She…”

Before Matsuda could finish his words, Fujiwara stopped what he was doing and raised his hand slightly to stop him—

“There’s no need. I’ll handle this matter myself. You just need to take care of what you need to do.”

After Fujiwara finished his sentence, he slowly stood up and silently turned around to leave.

Of course he wanted to see her, but he did not know what they would say to each other if he really saw her. He had imagined many scenes of them meeting, but every scene was…

Dongfang Liuyun—

Only you can stir up my emotions like this. Every time I think about it, I can’t help but feel a silent pain in my chest.

‘Thump, thump…’

His heavy footsteps echoed in the empty corridor. The long corridor seemed to have no end in an instant. The air was filled with that stifling aura.

Fujiwara felt as if he had spent a century walking through that stifling corridor. When he returned to the front hall, the butler had already prepared some morning tea for him and the magazine that he usually liked to read.

Fujiwara was a person with strong self-control. After walking through such a long corridor, he returned to his usual indifference. He silently sat down on the sofa and took the magazine. Just as he was about to flip through it, the butler beside him suddenly spoke—

“Master, are you going to the company today? Mr. Nozawa from the new company just called and asked if you wanted to go over. When is the meeting scheduled?”

Fujiwara came over this time to deal with the company’s matters. Over the past few days, he had not gone over to take a look at the company yet.

“Have them arrange for it to be Wednesday at 3 p.m.,” Fujiwara simply replied. His gaze did not shift away from the magazine in his hand.

Only then did the butler nod.

…

Things went as smoothly as he had expected. Even w.a.n.g Chun could not help but admire Qi Lei’s divine plan. He did not expect Qi Lei to be so accurate in estimating the Lin Corporation’s situation.

When Father Lin helplessly revealed that he was willing to sell off the Lin Corporation’s shares, w.a.n.g Chun already knew that Qi Lei’s method was definitely effective.

However, he was temporarily stopped by Lin Yuanyuan. They should be thinking of ways to prepare this sum of money now. Such a large sum of money was not something that could be easily gathered.

Although this might not be much to the huge Dongfang Group, it was very taxing for a company like the Lin Corporation.

Of course, at this moment, Lin Yuanyuan should be having a headache.

“Manager Lin, Manager Rou is here. She’s outside.”

Lin Yuanyuan was holding her head in frustration as she kept contacting some old friends to prepare the money. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. The door was opened and the secretary quickly opened the door and rushed in.

“Let her in,” Lin Yuanyuan replied before hanging up the phone angrily.

Dongfang Rou’er also walked in anxiously.

“Mother, how is Grandpa? Why did I hear that Uncle is being controlled by them now? Let’s call the police! Those people in the casino have always been ruthless. We don’t know what they will do to Grandpa and the others. With Grandma’s health like that, she can’t bear anymore blows!”

Dongfang Rou’er also said with some worry.

“Are you stupid? If we call the police about this, it would have a huge impact. Moreover, your uncle signed it. It’s hard to explain it to the police! You don’t know who is behind the casino. It has been safe and sound all these years. The business is so good. Don’t you think there’s something fishy about this?”

Lin Yuanyuan looked at Dongfang Rou’er coldly. “I called your father to see if he could help me transfer some, but he switched off his phone! Your brother is even more…”

“Mother, you can’t blame Father and Brother for this. Don’t you see what kind of person Uncle is? He’s just a gambler and a scoundrel. Grandpa has helped him clean up after all these years? And you’ve been troubled many times by him too! The reason Second Aunt and the others look down on us is all because of this good-for-nothing uncle! Last time, he even dared to set his sights on Second Aunt’s niece. Isn’t he courting death?”

Speaking of this uncle, Lin Yonghua, Dongfang Rou’er had a look of despise and disdain. “He’s just worthless and can’t be helped. I think he’ll bring disaster to the entire Lin family sooner or later!”

“Enough! Rou’er!”

Before Dongfang Rou’er could finish her sentence, Lin Yuanyuan had already cut her off. At this moment, Lin Yuanyuan’s eyes were filled with a stream of disapproval—

“No matter what, he’s still your uncle. You can’t say things like that, especially to your grandparents! They’ve already lost one son. They can’t lose another. Do you understand?”

When Lin Yuanyuan said these words, she actually felt a little helpless in her heart.

“But what else can we do now? It’s impossible for Father to take out this money. Mother, you have to know that the South River Project is about to start, and Second Uncle is watching Father’s movements closely. Unless you want Father to get into trouble, and Father isn’t a fool, how can he be willing to take out such a large sum of money to fill this bottomless pit?”

“Then Rou’er, can you think of a way to move some money from the Jin family?”

Lin Yuanyuan was at her wit’s end. The time given by the casino was too short, and she could not recover at all. Where could she find such a large amount of money?

Misappropriating public funds?

That was not something that she could do just because she wanted to.

She had racked her brains to come up with 100 million. If it was purely to pay off the debt, she could still help it. But the hateful thing was, she did not know why the company’s creditors had showed up at their doors to chase them for the money!
