C67 If She Didn't Have Money She Would Ask the Sun Family for It!!

"Smack! Smack!"

Chung Yu strode up to Chairman Lee and delivered two sharp slaps to his face.

In a flash, Chairman Lee's face ballooned, resembling a pig's head.

"To assault someone in broad daylight!"

"Just wait. Once we've copied the surveillance footage, you'll be facing a lawsuit!"

The two lawyers, witnessing Chung Yu's brazen actions, stood up and admonished him with gravity.

Chung Yu shot them a look and, without further ado, pulled out his phone and dialed the family's ace lawyer.

Once the call connected, he hit the speakerphone button.

"Cousin, I've slapped a chairman here in A City, and now his lawyers want to sue me," Chung Yu succinctly briefed him on the situation.

The voice on the phone responded with deference, "Xiao Yu, give me their names."

"I'll have all the lawyers at Chung Hong Studio file a counter-suit."

"I may not be able to assist with other matters, but I can assure you, getting them a few years behind bars is well within my means."

He paused briefly before adding, "And if that doesn't satisfy you,"

"Once the chairman and his lawyer are locked up, I can arrange for someone on the inside to take care of them permanently."

Chairman Lee was still in shock, but the two lawyers beside him were visibly shaken, their complexions turning ghostly pale.

A wave of terror filled their eyes.

They might not have known Chung Yu or the Chung family from the capital, but Chung Hong's law office was a name known to every lawyer, resonating with formidable repute.

Rumors had it that the lawyers at Chung Hong Studio were among the nation's elite.

There was a notorious case where an intern from Chung Hong's office managed to get the opposing lawyer incarcerated during a trial.

This incident alone spoke volumes of the studio's fearsome clout.

There was even a saying among lawyers: better to deal with a dog than with Chung Hong Studio.

A dog might bite, but Chung Hong Studio could send you to prison at any moment, lawyer or not!

And now, this very top-tier legal team was at the beck and call of the plump young man before them, a testament to his extraordinary status.

With this realization, the two lawyers' breaths quickened, and their eyes locked onto Chairman Lee with newfound urgency.

They exclaimed in outrage, "Chairman Lee, how could you stoop to insulting someone in broad daylight?"

"Legally speaking, this is unwarranted defamation and verbal assault. We've decided to take immediate legal action against you—no, we are taking action right now!"

Upon hearing this, Chairman Lee finally snapped out of his daze.

He nearly choked on his own rage.

These two ingrates were lawyers he had personally hired, yet here they were, siding with Ann Lan to sue him. What in the world was going on?

If it weren't for Chung Yu's formidable background, he would've been tempted to give these two scoundrels a piece of his mind.

"Rest assured, Young Master Cheng."

"Not only will we sue Chairman Lee for his baseless slander, but we will also delve into his past misconduct and aim to have him behind bars in one fell swoop."

"So, in light of your magnanimity, might you overlook our minor transgressions and let us off the hook?"

The two lawyers asked Chung Yu, their voices quivering with apprehension.

"What good does it do to ask me?"

"This matter is for my big brother to decide!"

Chung Yu gave the lawyers a disdainful glance and said irritably.

Big... Brother?

Following Chung Yu's gaze, when they caught sight of Lin Chen, they wished they could dismantle Chairman Lee limb from limb.

So Chairman Lee had brought them here just to target Chung Yu's big brother?

This fool was courting death and trying to drag them down with him!

"Chairman Lee, to hell with you!"

"Mark my words, the moment we uncover proof of your infractions, we'll sue you into oblivion!"

The two lawyers vented their fury at Chairman Lee.

Having been berated by his own attorneys, Chairman Lee's face soured.

Yet, he didn't dare utter a word, fearful that any displeasure from Lin Chen might provoke Chung Yu to take action against him.

"If you two can actually get Chairman Lee convicted, not only will I spare you any trouble,"

"I'll also reward you with a million yuan."

Lin Chen assured the two lawyers earnestly.

Regardless of the outcome, he stood to gain.

"Rest easy, Mr. Lin. We'll fulfill our duty without fail!"

The two lawyers breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Lin Chen's confident affirmation.

"Chairman Lee, let's discuss the numbers now."

"How much will it take to acquire the shares you hold?"

Once the two lawyers had departed, Lin Chen inquired with a nonchalant demeanor.

"To preserve the Ann's Group, relying solely on those two lawyers clearly won't cut it."

"Our shares are valued at around five billion yuan on the market!"

"If Director Ann is truly interested in purchasing, a price of four and a half billion will suffice," Chairman Lee said, his head bowed, a note of distress in his voice.

Had it not been for Su Qingyin and Chung Yu's involvement, he wouldn't have considered lowering the price; in fact, he would have aimed much higher.

"The price is too steep."

"Three and a half billion. If you're willing to sell now, we can sign the contract immediately."

"Should you refuse, Ann's Group will file for bankruptcy and then seek new partnerships with the Su and Chung families."

"Then, you'll not only lose out on any money, but you'll also have to contend with my retaliation. Weigh your options," Lin Chen said, his tone even.

"We... We accept!"

Chairman Lee was loath to let go of the ten billion yuan, but the Su and Chung families were forces he couldn't afford to cross.

And as Lin Chen had pointed out, once Ann's Group went bankrupt, they wouldn't see a dime of that three and a half billion.

Nobody turns their back on money, including Chairman Lee and his associates.

"We'll sign the contract, but we need the funds within three days," Chairman Lee said, his voice tinged with resignation.

A short while later, the contract was signed, and Chairman Lee and his party departed from Ann's Group.

"Miss Su, Mr. Chung, your assistance to Ann's Group is deeply appreciated," Ann Lan said, turning to Su Qingyin and Chung Yu with heartfelt thanks.

Su Qingyin's face flushed with a touch of embarrassment upon hearing this.

Chung Yu appeared somewhat panicked.

Lin Chen had messaged Su Qingyin about a collaborative project to make some money, but neither Su Qingyin nor Chung Yu had anticipated the scale of the disaster they were stepping into.

"Sister Ann Lan, you're giving us too much credit."

"I... I only have seventy million in total," Su Qingyin admitted, her cheeks reddening with a mix of embarrassment and guilt.

"Boss, I've got just three million," Chung Yu chimed in, rubbing the back of his head.

At their admission, Ann Lan's face drained of color, realizing that Lin Chen's initiative wasn't backed by the financial might of the Su and Chung families as she had assumed.

But now...

"Lili, we need to prepare for Ann's Group to go bankrupt."

"Once we make some money down the line, we can buy the building back."

Ann Lan shook her head, her voice tinged with bitterness as she spoke to Sun Lili.

She didn't hold Lin Chen responsible for taking matters into his own hands; she understood that he had already given it his all.

"Babe, it's just a few billion yuan, right?"

"It's not that big of a deal!"

Lin Chen chuckled at Ann Lan's gloominess, trying to lighten the mood.

He had messaged Su Qingyin with the intention of leveraging his Master Kunlun title and the two new products to persuade the Su and Chung families to collaborate.

But now, he had an even better solution up his sleeve!

"Just a few billion yuan?"

"Lin Chen, aren't you worried your big talk might come back to bite you?"

Sun Lili voiced her discontent with Lin Chen, her concern evident.

She was acutely aware of just how crucial Ann's Group was to Ann Lan.

If Lin Chen truly had a solution, that would be one thing, but empty words would do nothing to ease Lanlan's worries.

"Secretary Sun, how about a little wager?"

"If I can drum up the cash within a day, you'll come work as my secretary. Deal?"

Lin Chen gave a mischievous grin, casting a somewhat roguish glance at Sun Lili.

Zhang Xiaoyu hadn't been in the office for the past couple of days, and Lin Chen was concerned about being left without support.
