Xu Dengui arrived and was startled by the scene before him.
Dozens of men in black lay strewn across the hallway, each bearing wounds marked by blood.
Trickles of crimson flowed from their bodies, staining the floor a deep red. The pungent scent of blood filled the nostrils of every Dragon Guard.
As they approached the ward, only Gu Qingyuan and Gu Chenjie, whose heart monitor displayed a flat line, remained.
In Gu Qingyuan's hand was a piece of paper, filled with the sins, or rather, the deeds of Gu Qingyuan's life.
"Damn it! All this time, he acted like my brother, only to turn out to be a devil! Damn it!"
Xu Dengui, clutching the paper, couldn't help but slap Gu Qingyuan across the face.
Stung by the blow, Gu Qingyuan shuddered, his expression one of terror as he grabbed Xu Dengui, "I killed people, I killed people! Arrest me, please, send me to prison, send me in..."
Xu Dengui indifferently pulled out handcuffs, shackled him, and took him away.
Downstairs, Lin Tian'ai breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Ye Longlin and Mu Hanqi descend safely. She rushed forward, looking at them with concern and asked, "Mu Mu, are you okay?"
Mu Hanqi, feigning fear, clutched Lin Tian'ai tightly. "Thanks to your husband, otherwise I might not have seen you today. *Sob sob*."
Ye Longlin's lips twitched. He thought, *Aren't all women actresses? She was enjoying herself upstairs, even clapping, and now she's whimpering.*
Lin Tian'ai couldn't help but glance at Ye Longlin. After a moment of silence, she said, "Thank you."
Following this, the newlywed couple headed to Juling Group.
The matter of Juling Group's equity change needed to be put on the agenda. Since they had already handed over their shares, many people within the group should be dealt with.
However, upon their return to the group, they were met with sudden bad news!
"What? I've been removed as CEO?"
Lin Tian'ai was bewildered, completely unaware of what was happening.
"That's right, you've been removed as CEO. I am now the new CEO of Juling Group."
Lin Kang sat in Lin Tian'ai's seat, speaking with arrogance, his gaze and tone carrying a subtle mockery.
*Little thing, still want to fight me.*
Lin Tian'ai glared at him and roared in disbelief, "On what grounds!"
"With all the shares in our hands now, how can you be the new CEO of Juling Group?"
"Naturally, on my grounds."
A aged voice sounded as an old man walked in from the doorway.
Lin Tian'ai froze, staring at the scene before her in disbelief.
Grandpa Lin had retired long ago and had been living in seclusion in the suburbs. She hadn't expected Lin Kang to bring the old man out!
"Grandpa..."
Grandpa Lin waved his hand to interrupt her, saying imperiously, "Tian'ai, the group doesn't need a woman at the helm. The shares are in your hands now, but Grandpa hopes you will give them to your second uncle."
"Although I value your father highly, he is now in the late stages of cancer, and I don't have much time left. The only person in this family capable of taking on this responsibility is your second uncle.
While your father is still here, he can assist Kang'er, at least ensuring my Juling Group doesn't falter."
"On the other hand, you used liquid funds to purchase shares in Xiaotian Group, plunging the company into financial crisis."
"You offended the Ye family of the capital and the Gu family of Xingchen, nearly bringing the company to the brink of disaster."
"One by one, incident after incident, you are not suitable to be at the helm. So, it's best to hand over the shares. At most... your second uncle will acquire them for ten billion, which should ensure your lifelong comfort."
Lin Tian'ai's eyes welled up with tears. The tide had turned, and her grandfather was now siding with them.
However, apart from purchasing Xiaotian Group's shares, she was the victim in all the other matters!
*Victim blaming?*
"Grandpa, the matters with the Ye and Gu families have all been resolved. Gu Qingyuan has also been imprisoned for harboring a war criminal, facing a life sentence. Moreover, I secured a ten-billion loan for the group, and I negotiated the commercial property in Kaiyang District. Where do you see that I am unsuitable for this position?"
Lin Tian'ai bit her lip, stubbornly stating her case. She didn't want to lose her position. Besides, no matter what, Juling Group was founded by Lin Langsheng, what did Lin Kang have to do with it!
Grandpa Lin struck his cane heavily, roaring in anger, "Silence! You are now married to that man named Ye, and ultimately, you will be giving away our family's assets for free. I will absolutely not allow you to do this!"
"As long as I am alive, I will never allow you to sit in the CEO's position."
The old man firmly believed that Ye Longlin was after their family's fortune and naturally wouldn't allow their family's assets to fall into Ye Longlin's hands.
Lin Tian'ai vehemently retorted, "Grandpa! This is blatant sexism!"
Grandpa Lin snorted, "What's wrong with sexism? Isn't it the truth? Lin Kang is my son, your second uncle, he's family. But Ye Longlin, he's an outsider!"
Ye Longlin, sitting to the side, couldn't stand it any longer. He shook his head and said, "Old man, if you say it like that, it becomes rather interesting. The Gu Group is now falling apart, and many people have their eyes on this prize. If the CEO of Juling Group changes, then the Gu Group will have nothing to do with you."
"Furthermore, there might be other unexpected developments regarding the land for the commercial district in Kaiyang District. All of this results in financial losses. Do you have a problem with money, Old man?"
As he spoke, the old man became even more enraged, "Nonsense! If it weren't for your father repaying a favor years ago and making a marriage arrangement, thus marrying Tian'ai to you, and now you still covet my family's assets, what are your intentions?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Longlin shook his head, "Since that's the case, we shall take our leave. We wish the company continued prosperity."
After speaking, he pulled Lin Tian'ai and left immediately, giving them no time to react.
The old man let out a cold snort, watching their retreating backs. "I'll give you one day. Come tomorrow to sign the equity change agreement, or I'll kick you out!"
At the same time, a motorcade arrived in Xingcheng.
The leading Feng Yueying waved her hand grandly and booked an entire five-star hotel.
"Everyone, rest well this afternoon. There's no rush to destroy the Lin family. I'll go check on my son and husband and gather some information first."
"You all go and find out who the CEO of Juling Group is. We'll carry out a complete annihilation tonight. After all, whoever controls Juling Group is the true lineal descendant of the Lin family."
The rest nodded in agreement, "Understood."
