C66 Su Qingyin's Domineering Aura!

"Is this the secret the old man was hiding?"

Lin Chen's body, seated in the driver's seat, shook uncontrollably.

Through his magical third eye, he distinctly saw a sphere of white light deep beneath Ann's Group, encasing a bronze coffin about a dozen meters underground.

The coffin hovered in midair, radiating an aura of dazzling, colorful light.

He was desperate to see who lay within the coffin, but the mere attempt sent a sharp pain through his eyes.

"Lin Chen, have you discovered something?"

Ann Lan, seated in the backseat, recalled how Lin Chen had maintained his composure throughout their time at the Sun family.

What had he found that could shake him so profoundly?

Lin Chen massaged his stinging eyes.

He was about to explain to Ann Lan but then hesitated, shaking his head instead.

If the coffin could fool even his magical third eye, the entity inside must be unimaginably formidable.

Clearly, the old man had his reasons for keeping this secret closely guarded, likely out of concern for their safety.

"Let's discuss it once I've got it all figured out."

"For now, we should focus on sorting out the mess at Ann's Group."

With a sigh, Lin Chen opened the car door and, alongside Ann Lan, made his way to the company.

Ann Lan's expression grew complex at the mention of Ann's Group.

Despite Lin Chen's recent earnings of several hundred million yuan, it was merely a drop in the ocean of their needs.

Her grandfather had said Lin Chen could handle things, but without sufficient funds, there was little to be done.

"Director Ann, now that you've returned, let's not beat around the bush."

"We need to address the bankruptcy of Ann's Group."

Stepping into the conference room, Chairman Lee greeted Ann Lan with a smile.

"With Chairman Qian's car accident, it seems Ann's Group's investments are on the brink of collapse."

"Director Ann, my advice is to convert all of Ann's Group's assets—factories and products—into shares for us."

"That way, you can secure 100% ownership of Ann's Group, and we won't walk away empty-handed."

Another chairman agreed, joining the conversation.

Under Chairman Lee's directive, they were intent on seizing all the assets, effectively usurping control of Ann's Group.

When that happened, Ann Lan would be left clutching a pile of worthless shares.

Meanwhile, they could simply rebrand and carry on with the business.

"I'm willing to concede other properties to you," she offered.

"But this Ann's Group building—I must keep it."

Ann Lan resumed her typical icy CEO demeanor, addressing the room with an impassive face.

She had made up her mind before even setting foot in the company.

If she could retain the building and all shares of Ann's Group,

she could still make a comeback with the two products Lin Chen had developed.

The only challenge would be the initial struggle without the company's infrastructure and distribution networks.

"Director Ann, we're all intelligent here," one of them said.

"You're fully aware of our intentions in acquiring all the businesses under Ann's Group."

"Do you really think we'd leave you the building?"

Chairman Lee's laughter was light but loaded.

He didn't let Ann Lan get a word in, instead laying out her options: "You have two choices, Director Ann.

One, declare bankruptcy and let everyone suffer.

Or two, compensate us with the assets and preserve what's left of Ann's Group's honor."

Chairman Lee's words left Ann Lan visibly rattled.

She hadn't anticipated such voracious greed—not even a single building would be spared.

"The directors here are openly threatening Director Ann," Lin Chen interjected with a sardonic tone.

"Have you grown too bold, or do you think I've lost my edge?"

The other directors, recalling how Lin Chen had previously roughed them up with Qian Duoduo and others, instinctively turned to Chairman Lee for cues.

"Do you know who these gentlemen are, Lin Chen?" Chairman Lee asked, gesturing to the two lawyers beside him.

"They're here at my request, and this room is under constant surveillance.

Make a scene, and I assure you, these lawyers and the cameras will have you behind bars for years."

Chairman Lee's voice was calm, his demeanor unflustered.

"Lin Chen, don't be reckless," Ann Lan warned, her brows knitting together as she urged caution, sensing the gravity of the situation.

As Ann Lan's voice faded, Chairman Lee noticed Lin Chen remained motionless, just as expected.

He breathed a sigh of relief, yet couldn't shake off a twinge of disappointment.

Had Lin Chen lashed out, there might have been a chance to throw this scoundrel behind bars.

"Director Ann, you're out of options."

"Make your decision quickly!"

Chairman Lee then casually produced a contract for the transfer of Ann's Group assets and handed it over.

At his words, Ann Lan shuddered slightly.

Indeed, without sufficient funds, she was cornered, just as Chairman Lee had stated.

But her grandfather had just implored her to safeguard Ann's Group at all costs.

As anxiety crept over Ann Lan, the conference room door burst open.

"Who says Director Ann is out of options?"

Following the ethereal voice, Su Qingyin and Chung Yu entered the room with measured steps.

"Allow me to introduce them."

"This is Miss Su Qingyin of the Su family from the capital!"

"And I am Chung Yu, the young master of the Chung family, also from the capital."

Chung Yu stood tall, introducing himself with a confident air to the assembled chairmen.

The young lady and young master from the capital?

Chairman Lee's face paled, recognizing the weight of the names. While the other directors might not know the Su and Chung families, he was all too aware.

These dynasties were titans in the capital, their influence immense.

He could never have imagined that these prominent heirs would appear at Ann's Group.

"Director Ann, you have the option to collaborate with the Su and Chung families."

"May I ask for a few days' grace for Qingyin to make the necessary preparations?" inquired Su Qingyin, her serene face betraying no emotion.

Her soft-spoken request carried a firm resolve that brooked no argument.

"Little sister, do you honestly think business is child's play?"

"You expect us to just grant you a few days?"

"And what about your Su family? Are you really that influential?"

One of the directors scoffed with disdain.

Without a second thought, Chairman Lee delivered a resounding slap to the man's face.

Inwardly, he berated the fool's ancestors for good measure.

To offend the young mistresses of the Su and Chung families was akin to courting disaster.

"Director Ann, you truly have a knack for this!"

"The Su family and the Chung family are both involved!"

"We'll concede today, but if we don't have a definitive response from Director Ann in three days, expect us to take action."

"And when that time comes, don't fault us for showing no mercy!"

Chairman Lee, his hand still stinging from the slap, spoke to Ann Lan with a hint of resentment.

"Did you just threaten Sister Ann Lan?"

"Chung Yu, slap him!"

With an icy demeanor, Su Qingyin commanded Chung Yu at her side.
