"It'll be over soon," Lin Wanzhen casually comforted her.

Ah Fen, however, firmly believed it: "That's good, that's good. Although it's because some people are greedy that we've come to this point, there's nothing wrong with wanting to make money."

Afen thought that if she were still working in the factory, she might have been swept up in this storm along with one of her coworkers. After all, the prospect of making money was too tempting, and it would be hard for someone who had been struggling financially to resist the temptation.

"Sister-in-law, try to stay home as much as possible these days; it's a bit chaotic outside."

"I know, this place is big enough, and I don't need to go out to walk the baby, so I won't go out. The staff can take care of the shop." Afen was really scared and didn't want to go out at all.

Mingzai is already married, and his wife is pregnant. He bought a house on Yilan Street, which is relatively safe, or rather, the Jiaolong Gang's territory is relatively safe.

During this period, Da Ya and A Fa, who had already moved out, both moved back to Yilan Street.

......

Lin Wanzhen was too lazy to see anyone from the Lin family, and the company's receptionist and secretarial department knew this, so they blocked her without any regard for the consequences.

However, someone reached out through several connections, wanting to see her.

"Brother, you're back in China?"

The visitor was Lin Liqing, the eldest son of the Lin family. He had been abroad for more than ten years, supposedly for further studies, but the Lin family knew that this was just a whitewash. Lin Liqing had no business acumen whatsoever and was weak-willed. Lin Fusheng had given up on him and wanted to groom his second son or grandson.

"With such a big thing happening at home, how could I not come back?" Lin Liqing frowned. He didn't really know how to handle these things. He was a university teacher abroad, with no ambition, and his life had always been very simple.

"Have your sister-in-law and the child returned?"

"No, they don't even speak Chinese, so there's no use for them coming back. I don't have time to take care of them either."

"Big brother, is there something you need?" Lin Wanzhen was polite to everyone, and even Lin Fusheng did not make her too emotional.

It's not that they have a good temper, but rather that they look down on others based on their own strength. People who look down on others don't get angry at those they look down on.

"Wanzhen, do you know how to handle things at home? You know I'm not good at dealing with these things."

Lin Wanzhen glanced at him unexpectedly. The original owner had feelings for this older brother and genuinely regarded him as her older brother. When they were young, Mrs. Lin disliked her and even influenced her two sons directly with her words. Lin Liqiang was young and listened to his mother, ignoring little Wanzhen.

However, Lin Liqing was older and had his own ideas. He treated the younger sister quite well. When Lin Baozhen returned to the Lin family, Lin Liqing, who had been living abroad for many years, came back once. He was very gentle with Lin Baozhen and even closer to Lin Wanzhen.

He could tell that Lin Wanzhen had been wronged, but there was nothing he could do. His father wouldn't listen to him, and his mother had suffered so much for so many years, so he couldn't bear to be harsh with her. He could only comfort Lin Wanzhen: "If you're not happy at home, come find me abroad."

Lin Wanzhen was very moved at that time, but she also knew that she couldn't leave.

Lin Wanzhen has no intention of leaving now.

"Brother, there are several other people in the family. Their opinions are more important, aren't they? I've already published a notice in the newspaper severing ties, so it's not appropriate for me to interfere."

Lin Liqing sighed heavily: "The second son is like a madman, trying to make a comeback. Mom is completely lost, Baozhen doesn't understand what happened, and Dad is sick, he had a stroke."

In the original owner's life, at this time, she had already committed suicide. Lin Fusheng was not stimulated and did not have any secret thoughts of wanting to surpass his daughter. Although he was involved, he was relatively rational. The Lin family suffered a heavy blow, but its foundation was still intact.

"So fragile?"

"Wanzhen, he is still her father." Lin Liqing frowned in disapproval.

"Since Lin Liqiang wants to make a comeback, can you stop him?" Lin Wanzhen asked calmly. In recent years, Lin Liqiang had been taken under Lin Fusheng's wing and held real power in the company.

"There's no point in trying to stop him. The family has no cash left. Even if they sell the real estate, jewelry, and raw materials, it might not be enough to cover the debts. Whatever he thinks is just wishful thinking."

Lin Wanzhen shook her head: "You don't understand the mentality of gamblers. The first thing they want to do after they cash out is to go into the stock market to try and make a comeback."

"What should I do?" Lin Liqing felt his head was getting more and more painful.

"Don't liquidate the assets; use them all as collateral. The debt comes from banks and loans. Contact the banks proactively to have them assess and price the assets, and then contact the other borrowers to discuss the final repayment amount. Don't let the interest snowball."

"Is this okay?"

"This is a targeted financial storm that has affected the entire Hong Kong Island. The storm will subside, but the damage will take time to heal. So deal with it as soon as possible. Real estate and similar assets will not be worth much for a long time."

"I mean, talk to those who borrow money about repayment amounts and stop accruing interest."

Lin Wanzhen looked at the nearly forty-year-old man speechlessly: "Brother, focus on being a good university professor, save as much money as possible, and increase your resources to cope with risks."

Lin Liqing felt somewhat embarrassed. This little sister, whom he remembered as well-behaved, was now speaking to him in a teaching tone, earnest and insightful, displaying a kind of far-sighted wisdom.

"it is good."

"In the current situation, the borrowers are more panicked than the debtors. Stay calm and talk to them directly about repaying only the principal. If they disagree, argue with them for a bit, and then offer to settle the debt with goods, saying that Lin Liqiang wants to cash out and recoup his losses. They will agree." Lin Wanzhen gave a few simple instructions.

"Okay, do you want the old house in the family? I'll deal with it eventually. If it can pay off the debts, then the old house is yours," Lin Liqing said sincerely.

Lin Wanzhen hesitated for a moment. It was a three-story villa where the original owner spent her childhood and was sealed there after her death, like a complete cycle of reincarnation. The old house witnessed her genuine joy and extreme pain.

"Fine, I'll buy it. The house should be registered under Lin Fusheng's name. Once you get his seal, you can transfer the ownership. Then come find me, and I'll offer you a price higher than the market value."

"No, no, that's not what I meant. I really wanted to give it to you," Lin Liqing immediately explained.

"Brother, you might not be able to keep it. I might as well buy it first, and then I'll avoid having to appraise one more house," Lin Wanzhen said frankly.

"Okay!" Lin Liqing nodded dejectedly.

If Mom and Baozhen hadn't targeted Wanzhen, would the family have ended up like this?

Even at this point, could Wanzhen still resolve the situation perfectly with ease?

Lin Liqiang went crazy, feeling that the whole world was plotting against the Lin family, and that Wanzhen was also implicated. He said that Lin Wanzhen withdrew from the stock market last year, which must have meant she knew something in advance, but she didn't tell her family a word, which was intentional!

Lin Liqing tried to say something, saying that this was a storm affecting the entire Hong Kong island and had nothing to do with Wanzhen.

Lin Liqiang wasn't actually unaware of the situation; he was just making excuses to make his failure seem less foolish.
