C10 Forgery!

"That's right, 500 million! And it's not a loan; it's an investment with zero interest. "

Mu Chen slowly withdrew his hand. He had made his point.

Gulp!

At that moment, the room fell so silent you could hear a pin drop—interrupted only by collective gasps and swallows.

"Five hundred million?"

She could now invest in real estate that will last for centuries!

" Let me see that!"

The Matriarch snatched up the contract, her eyes racing over each page.

Her complexion reddened with each passing word.

Especially when she saw that Global Investment had already signed on the dotted line. It was as if her heart was ready to leap out of her chest.

"This can't be!"

"How could Global Investment give you money? This must be a fraudulent contract!"

Lin Loong seized the contract as if possessed, his face turning a shade of red so dark it verged on purple.

A few tension-filled minutes later.

"Hahahaha! Lin Yuyan, oh, Lin Yuyan, you're audacious! Forging a contract is illegal! You're going to jail!"

He slammed the contract onto the table, bellowing.

"I didn't forge anything. This was personally handed to me by Global Investment's General Manager, Wang Xue."

Lin Yuyan replied, rallying her courage.

"You still dare to deny it? Didn't you research before concocting this farce? The legal representative of Global Investment isn't surnamed Mu, but Zhou! And their General Manager is Loong Wentian, not Wang Xue!"

"I can't believe you would stoop so low to fake this, all for the chance at succession! You're a disgrace to the Lin family! Grandmother, I propose we call the police before Global Investment takes legal action against us!"

Lin Loong said to his grandmother, grinning from ear to ear.

He couldn't believe Lin Yuyan, always so calculated and cunning, would make such a rookie mistake.

This was a golden opportunity handed to him on a silver platter.

Yuyan, you better have a good explanation."

The Matriarch warned, her face darkening.

She quickly verified Lin Loong's points and realized they were all valid.

I... I didn't lie. This contract... It's genuine!"

Lin Yuyan's fists clenched, her eyes welling up with tears.

How could she explain this?

She had no idea why the key personnel at Global Investment had suddenly changed.

"Grandmother, Loong Wentian, Young Master Li's uncle, is in my office now. He can come and confront Lin Yuyan, and everything will be clear as day. "

Lin Loong suggested, smirking triumphantly.

"Fine!"

The Matriarch agreed, her tone icy. She had previously thought Lin Yuyan was just ineffective, but now it seemed she was downright deceptive.

This needed addressing!

"Honey, I'm stepping out for a smoke," Mu Chen whispered to Lin Yuyan.

Then he left the room without another word.

"Ha! Did you see that, Yuyan? Your worthless husband is too scared even to stick around. Looks like he's planning to abandon you."

"You've wasted three years of your life on that loser. You're an embarrassment to the Lin Family!"

Lin Loong jeered, seizing the opportunity to kick Lin Yuyan while she was down.

I thought you had changed, but it turns out you're still the same old unreliable person,"

Lin Yuyan watched Mu Chen walk out the door, her eyes brimming with tears. A bitter feeling settled in her heart.

She had never expected him to leave her in her darkest hour.

A moment later.

"Global Investment investing 500 million for Lin Yuyan? What a laugh!"

Young Master Li swaggered into the office, laughing uproariously.

He eyed Lin Yuyan's teary face greedily and added, "Everyone in Chuyang City knows my uncle, Loong Wentian, is the general manager of Global Investment. This Wang Xue you're talking about? Never heard of her! Just some random cat or dog."

"Who dares to say that I, Wang Xue, am just some random cat or dog?"

Bang!

The door swung open, and in walked a poised, elegant woman.

It was none other than Wang Xue, who had hurried over.

And trailing behind her was Mu Chen.

"I stepped out to smoke," Mu Chen grinned, "but I called Wang Xue to come to straighten things out."

"Mu Chen, you worthless creature! How dare you bring someone to barge into this office! Security, toss these two out!"

Lin Loong yelled.

"Who dares lay a finger on me? I'm the general manager of Global Investment."

Wang Xue retorted, an air of authority emanating from her.

Mu Chen gave her a discreet nod of approval.

This Wang Xue was no pushover; he'd made the right call.

"Bullcrap!"

"Where did you dig up this impostor? You dare impersonate my uncle? Kneel down and apologize now, or else you'll feel the wrath of my uncle, Loong Wentian!"

Young Master Li was livid, infuriated at the audacity of someone impersonating the general manager of Global Investment.

"Oh, Li Feiyang? So you're from Qingcheng International? I've looked into your accounts. Loong Wentian and your family have been involved in some pretty sketchy transactions."

Wang Xue replied, her voice icy.

As they delved deeper into Loong Wentian's affairs, more and more questionable transactions surfaced.

"You're lying!"

Young Master Li blurted out, his face flushed with panic.

"Hmm, am I? Qingcheng International just declared bankruptcy. Why not call your dad and check for yourself?"

Wang Xue sneered. She turned toward the Matriarch.

"You can also confirm Lin Yuyan's partnership with Global Investment on our official website. So why the theatrics?"

As she finished her statement, murmurs spread through the room like wildfire.

"I found it!" someone shouted from the crowd.
