My brother is reborn and his engagement is changed; my ex-sister-in-law is pregnant again and again.

Life in prison is hardly pleasant, especially for someone like Qin's father. On one hand, he is quite old, and on the other hand, he was a wealthy man outside, living a high quality of life that was among the top 1% in the country. But now he's in prison, a fall from heaven to hell.

When Qin Mei saw her father's appearance, she was somewhat surprised. This was the first time the father and daughter had met since her father was arrested. At this time, her father had a lot more white hair and countless wrinkles on his face. Compared with her father before, the change was really too great.

At first glance, Qin Mei doubted whether the person in front of her was her father, but after looking at him, she was certain.

"Meimei, how's the situation outside?"

What Qin's father cares about most right now is the Qin Group, which is the result of generations of hard work. In fact, Qin's father doesn't really have much ability. More than ten years ago, when he took over the Qin family, the Qin Group was really powerful. At that time, it was considered one of the top 20 groups. However, because the world has undergone earth-shattering changes in the following ten years, and the group failed to seize any opportunities, it gradually fell behind.

That's not all. If they had focused on their original field, the Qin family would still be doing well, even if they weren't as successful as they used to be. At the very least, they would have survived and made a considerable profit. However, Qin's father made reckless investments back then, losing money on everything, which led to the Qin family's current state.

Hearing this, Qin Mei looked at her father. She didn't know how to answer the question, and she sighed.

"Dad, the situation is more serious than we initially thought."

"More serious? How could this be?"

Qin's father frowned deeply.

"We've received information that the amount of tax evasion, including late fees and fines, has exceeded 50 billion yuan. Our company simply doesn't have that much money."

I have no money.

This is the most crucial issue.

"So... do you know how the higher-ups will handle this?"

Qin's father had a bad feeling, mainly because he had been imprisoned and knew nothing about what was happening. Hearing this, Qin Mei sighed.

"The higher-ups mean to take over the entire Qin Group, then sell off all its assets for whatever price they can get..."

Doing so would be tantamount to making the Qin Group disappear completely.

There will never be another Qin Group again.

After all, the Qin Group's building and factories are still very valuable, and many groups are interested in them. The reason why these groups did not contact Qin Mei for a while was mainly because they wanted to acquire them at a lower price. So, under these circumstances, they were definitely waiting for the relevant departments to take over, and then they would use their connections to acquire them at an even lower price.

Of course, these companies may have already established connections; that's the dirty work in the business world.

Qin's father's eyes widened upon hearing this.

"How could this happen...?"

Qin's father stood up abruptly, his face filled with anger.

What is this?

It completely destroyed the Qin family.

Even at this moment, Qin's father was thinking about how he would face his parents and grandparents in the afterlife after he died. They entrusted the company to him, but he never expected that it would turn out like this. Thinking about this, Qin's father felt that he would rather be dead.

"Dad, I've also inquired about it, and this decision has already been made and there's no way it can be changed... So I estimate that soon, the relevant personnel will gradually start taking over our company, and we... are most likely finished."

Although Qin Mei didn't want to say it, it was actually true. Moreover, Qin Mei hadn't told her father about her situation yet. Qin Mei felt that if her father knew about this, he might be so angry that he would be hospitalized.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Qin Mei ultimately decided not to say it.

"Then what will you do?"

At this moment, Qin's father thought of this problem. Currently, the family villa and many other properties are registered under the Qin Group. If things were to proceed as Qin Mei suggested, these assets would definitely be taken back. What would happen to his daughter's life then?

"Dad, you don't need to worry about me anymore. I've already divorced the Lin family. They gave me some money to get me to agree to the divorce. I don't own any shares in the Qin Group, and I'm just the temporary chairman right now, so they won't investigate me during the asset audit. I still have some money of my own, and with the money the Lin family gave me, I can live quite well."

Qin Mei selectively mentioned some things, but didn't say anything else.

Qin's father understood that the business world was always a pragmatic place. With such a big thing happening to his family, the Lin family would definitely try to cut ties as soon as possible. If it were him, he would probably make the same choice. But when he heard that this was really the case, Qin's father also felt a sense of shared sorrow.

It's true what they say, once someone leaves, they're forgotten.

Ha ha.

Thinking of this, Qin's father's face was full of bitterness.

"How much money did they give you?"

"One hundred million..."

"That's not a loss."

Qin's father understood that this outcome was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. At least they still had some money. If all that money were gone, given his daughter's extravagant spending habits, the money in her bank account would probably be gone in a few years. But now, with this 100 million, barring any unforeseen circumstances, they could likely live a comfortable life for the rest of their lives.

"Well... in any case, it's a blessing in disguise."

"Dad... what's your sentence here...?"

"life imprisonment."

Although I really don't want to say this, I have to, after all, I need to give the other person some time to prepare.

"Life imprisonment? That's better than I thought. I expected a suspended death sentence. What about your other uncles?"

"The longest sentence was 21 years in prison, and the shortest was 13 years in prison."

In fact, after such a long investigation, the relevant departments had already determined internally what the crime was and how many years the sentence would be. It is relatively easy to investigate such matters.

"Sigh, this time our family is truly finished."

"Meimei, no matter what, the Qin Group is on the verge of collapse and there's no way to save it. So don't worry about the company anymore. Do your best to protect yourself and leave as much money as possible for yourself and your mother. As for the rest, just let nature take its course."

"After this is over, go abroad. Don't stay in the country. Staying here is torture. It's better to go abroad and live in anonymity somewhere no one knows you."

A sense of sorrow welled up in Qin's father's heart. He didn't know if he would ever have another chance to leave. If he did, the number of times he would see his daughter was likely already very limited; in fact, it could be said that the countdown had already begun. Hearing this, Qin Mei's eyes reddened.

"dad."

"It's okay, since we've already done it, let's just accept it. Otherwise, people will think we can't handle losing."

Hearing this, Qin Mei nodded heavily.

"How's the Lin Group doing now?"

"I don't know about that. Anyway, I heard that the other party was also in financial trouble, but I don't know where they got the money from, which helped the company get through the crisis."

Qin Mei wasn't particularly clear about the Lin family anymore; she hadn't had much time to pay attention to the Lin Group lately.

"Okay, I got it."

At this moment, Qin Mei looked at Liang Hongyan.

"Mom, why don't you say a few words to Dad?"

"Um."

Qin's mother was also filled with mixed feelings. She sat down in the seat that Liang Hongyan had just occupied.

"From now on, listen to Meimei and make sure you protect this money. It's your last line of defense. If nothing unexpected happens, other relatives will definitely come to borrow money. When that happens, you should go abroad and find somewhere else to live. In short, don't give this money to anyone, understand?"

It is said that a dying man's words are good. Qin's father probably knew that he would most likely not make it out alive, so he had already begun to make arrangements for his funeral.

After all, there's really nothing I can do right now; all I can do is nag a bit more.

"Yeah, I know... Don't say that anymore, it's not like we can't get out."

"Sigh, I'm already this old, and I'm serving a life sentence. Although it can be reduced, it'll still be at least ten years. I don't think I'll live that long. Anyway, take good care of yourselves and your daughter while you're out there... as for the rest, you'll have to rely on yourselves."

The atmosphere in the room was rather somber. It was obvious that the family of three was not in high spirits. Although it wasn't exactly a matter of life and death, it was close enough.

"I know, I know... Take good care of yourself in there."

"Yes, I know."

Two hours passed quickly and it was over before they knew it. Although they were a little reluctant to leave, they had no choice but to go.

In the car, Qin Mei frowned deeply.

"Mom, I'll consider getting plastic surgery after I finish dealing with things at the company."

As she spoke, Qin Mei looked at her mother. After all, too many people knew her because of her face. If she wanted to have a relatively peaceful life, plastic surgery was a must. Fortunately, medical technology has been advancing. Otherwise, if this had happened in ancient times, Qin Mei would probably have had to hide in the deep mountains and forests if she didn't want to be pointed at.

"Sigh, go ahead, it should be soon. The relevant departments will probably take over the Qin Group soon too. Sigh."

In fact, Qin Mei had already realized this by then. She guessed that no one came to take over their company and assets at that time because they had already made preparations in their hearts, which was to wait for the relevant departments to take over and then operate through their connections.

However, there's not much point in saying all this now, since everything has already been decided, and the Qin family and the group will have nothing to do with me anymore.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuze had also arrived at the company. He had originally driven there, but since he was already there, he figured he might as well go inside and take a look.

"Chairman, you've arrived."

Upon seeing Lin Yuze arrive, the staff members greeted him warmly.

"Hmm, how's it going? What are the data like now?"

Lin Yuze looked at the operations director and asked curiously.

"Chairman, the number of purchases has reached 896 million. This only accounts for the revenue from the animation itself. After sharing with the platform, we can get 7823 million. Then there's the merchandise. Our merchandise is also extremely popular. We've already sold 38 copies, and the profit has reached 1.9 million."

Hearing this, Lin Yuze nodded.

This is indeed a good result.

"Okay, good results. Everyone worked hard this time."

"Chairman, what are you saying? This is something we should be doing."

Lin Yuze smiled and then sat down in a chair.

"Alright, I'll sit here for a while. You can go back to work now."

"Yes, Chairman."

After watching the other person leave, Lin Yuze sat down in his chair and began to consider his next plan.

First Thunder is definitely not a team we can afford to lose.

After all, I've really found a treasure trove, and if I don't make good use of it, even God will be angry.

For example, the second anime, or the anime reaction.

What Lin Yuze wants to do next is... create anime/manga games.

In fact, with the development of smartphones, mobile games have become the most popular genre in gaming. While not everyone owns a laptop, most people certainly own a smartphone. Under these circumstances, anime-style mobile games are definitely Lin Yuze's target.

He bought the copyrights to several of these games specifically for mobile game development, and these games are sure to become terrifying money-making machines in the future.

However, these are all relatively expensive areas, and Lin Yuze needs to make a detailed plan, otherwise problems may easily arise.

Now that he has a good start, Lin Yuze must be extremely cautious. If he gets too arrogant, he could easily ruin himself. Having lived two lives, Lin Yuze understands this principle.

Meanwhile, Lin Yurui sat in his bedroom, surrounded by empty bottles. He looked utterly dejected, and many people would mistake him for a homeless man if he went out in public.

Just then, the door opened and Liang Hongyan entered.

"Son, did you drink this all by yourself?"

Hearing this, Lin Yurui turned her head and looked at Liang Hongyan.

"Mom, tell me, where exactly am I inferior to Lin Yuze?"

Lin Yurui's face was filled with resentment as she thought about what had happened after her rebirth.

From that time until now...

Lin Yuze succeeds at everything he does, while Lin Yurui fails at everything he tries. The Lin Group is now facing financial problems, while Lin Yuze is still so rich. How can he be so generous? No, Lin Yurui cannot accept this.

"Son, what's wrong? Don't scare your mother."

Seeing that her son was not behaving properly, Liang Hongyan quickly asked him what was wrong.

"Mom, I'm fine, nothing's wrong with me. What could possibly be wrong with me?"

Just as she was saying this, Lin Yurui suddenly felt her vision go black, and the next second, she fell to the ground.

This is the second time recently that Lin Yurui has been taken away by an ambulance.

Frankly, someone who drinks himself into the hospital is not worthy of being Lin Yuze's competitor.

Because it's so rubbish.
