A master of both medicine and martial arts, he picked up a beautiful CEO as his wife.

"Meeting break."

Everyone, please sit down.

Zhao Dehai and the men from CDH Investments exchanged a knowing glance. They estimated that a half-hour break would be enough to completely erode Lin Yuqing's courage to launch a counterattack.

A young female CEO fighting alone, facing their combined attack, has now reached the end of her rope.

After that, all you need to do is add some firewood and set it on fire, and she'll obediently surrender...

Zhao Dehai had already thought about what to say. As soon as he stood up, he brought up the frozen audit case that Lin Yuqing had just ruined.

Before he could even speak, Lin Yuqing interrupted, "Before we continue voting, I have a question for the gentleman from 'CDH Capital' to answer."

"Your company is an independent investment firm, right?"

The man paused for a moment, but quickly smiled and picked up his glass: "Of course, CDH Investments is a legally established and independently operated private investment institution. Our shareholding structure is clear and undisputed. Why is Mr. Lin asking me this?"

"Independent? Uncontroversial?" Lin Yuqing scoffed. "Haha, that's great!"

With a tug, Lin Yuqing threw something out with a whoosh.

The documents were quickly sent over. It was a very professional equity penetration investigation report—starting from CDH Investments, the equity structure extended upwards like vines, bypassing layers of intermediary companies and shell companies, until finally, everything, like rivers flowing into the sea, converged in one place!

The Zhao family of Dongyang!

Gasps of shock echoed through the conference room.

"CDH Capital is not an independent investment institution at all!" Lin Yuqing's voice suddenly rose, sharp and piercing, echoing throughout the conference room: "They are the Zhao family's henchmen, used to secretly buy out, incorporate, and merge the Lin family—a black hand!!"

"And who is the Zhao family?" Lin Yuqing scanned the room, and everyone held their breath in tension. "They are our Lin Group's old rivals in the two main businesses of energy and real estate! They are our long-time adversaries who would love to smash and devour our Lin Group!"

"And now," Lin Yuqing said, emphasizing each word, "an old rival who's been trying to swallow Lin's whole has put on the guise of an independent organization and brazenly barged into our Lin's shareholders' meeting. They've even come to question my status as president, freeze the shares my mother left behind, and demand a 're-audit' of Lin's."

With a bang, Lin Yuqing slammed his hand on the table and stood up, exuding a heroic and unstoppable aura!

"Shareholders! Tell me what you're doing! Is this 'being responsible to all shareholders' or is it like inviting wolves into the house? Are we handing over the Lin family's decades-long legacy to the jaws of jackals?!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The neutral shareholders who had been wavering and whispering just moments before suddenly changed their expressions. Their gazes toward the man from CDH Investments and Zhao Dehai shifted from hesitation to undisguised vigilance and anger.

They are shareholders of the Lin Group! Their lives are intertwined with the Lin Group! They are here today for the good of the company, not to be pawns for an outside competitor, to sink their own ship, or to hand the Lin Group over to someone else!

"You...you're talking nonsense!!" The man from CDH Investments was deathly pale, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. He forced a smile, "This kind of bullshit report is of dubious origin, who can tell if it's true or false? Who knows if it's Lin Yuqing who fabricated this fake report to smear us so she could escape!"

"Is the source unclear or genuine?" Lin Yuqing remained unyielding, her coldness like ice, pushing him step by step into a dead end. "We each have our own version of events, and there's no evidence. Fine! Right now, right here, in front of all the shareholders, let's have a reputable and authoritative third-party institution verify this report and the true shareholding structure of CDH!"

"If CDH Investments were truly as clean and independent as you claim, why would you be afraid of this investigation?!"

The man's lips moved as if he wanted to say something about agreeing to the review, but he would never say it out loud. He understood perfectly well that every line and sentence in the report was true! The Zhao family had already laid out such a grand scheme, with each step interconnected. The only, and most crucial, weakness was the word "white glove." The relationship between CDH and the Zhao family must never be exposed.

Once exposed to the light of day, they transform into heroic figures standing on the moral high ground, "protecting shareholder interests," and invincible in their righteousness, instantly becoming the big bad wolves that everyone hates and who devour their opponents.

A complete loss!

He looked to Zhao Dehai for help, but Zhao Dehai was equally ashen-faced. In this situation, he himself was already on the verge of collapse, so why would he care about him? The balance of power in this battle was completely reversed in just a few words.

Ye Feng stood quietly behind her, hands in his pockets, watching her single-handedly debate with the assembled scholars, turning a seemingly hopeless battle around. His admiration for her grew even stronger. Others only saw this tough woman's domineering and spoiled nature, her stubbornness and soft heart, but it was in this chaotic situation that her true character was revealed: her composure in the face of danger, her sharp and ruthless insight, and the aura of a leader who remained unfazed even when Mount Tai collapsed before her.

This is what you'd call the president of the Lin family in Dongyang.

The CDH representative sitting at the conference table, who was usually very mature and experienced, was sweating profusely.

He had made many such acquisitions before, relying on the principle of "operating behind the scenes with a legitimate reason." He had calculated that Lin Yuqing was isolated at a young age and that the Lin family was in turmoil. There was only one thing he hadn't calculated correctly:

Behind the seemingly delicate female CEO, someone would jump out and expose all the hidden fat under the Zhao family's skin in less than half an hour. The counterattack was not bad, and the blow even hit their most fatal weakness!

"So? Let a third party come and verify the calculations on-site. Does CDH dare to do that?" Lin Yuqing approached step by step, each word resounding: "You don't dare, do you? That means you have something to hide! If you have something to hide, then please leave today's vote immediately and withdraw from our Lin Group's shareholders' meeting!"

"you……"

His lips trembled, and he no longer cared about maintaining a composed demeanor.

Isolated and helpless!

This was originally a scheme devised by the Zhao family to deal with Lin Yuqing, but unexpectedly, the tables have turned, and now it is the two of them who are isolated and put on the hot seat.

All the shareholders in the meeting room stared at the father and son, their eyes filled with anger, vigilance, and annoyance at being fooled!

"Oh dear..." It took her a while to realize, "So that's how it is! No wonder they didn't want us to audit the accounts for so long, saying there were shares with questionable audit findings!"

An old man slammed his hand on the table, his beard bristling with anger. "That must be someone sent by the Zhao family! The Zhao family is trying to use this family matter as an opportunity to plant their own people in our company and then gradually take it over! Zhao Dehai, you really are a good relative of the Zhao family's son-in-law, betraying your own side! Do you know whether the deceased Madam Zhao was proud or ashamed of you?"

"This is utterly shameless! An outsider's capital is acting like a neutral shareholder, running rampant on our company's board of directors. If he succeeds, will the Lin family have a good future?"

Enraged by the crowd, the neutrals who were still hesitating stood up one after another. At this moment, filled with righteous indignation, they all stood on Lin Yuqing's side, and could no longer remain hesitant for even a moment.

The moment people learned the truth, they sided with Lin Yuqing.

Zhao Dehai shrank back and listened to everyone cursing. He felt that those faces, which had seemed somewhat polite, had suddenly turned into deadly blades.
