Seeing that he had been seen through, there was no longer any need to hide.
Lin Mei nodded vigorously.
"Tomorrow or the day after, the Lin family and Zhouge Group will hold a business meeting in Southeast City!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lü Feng instantly understood Lin Dong's intentions.
Lin Dong had done this because he was worried that Lü Feng would disrupt the meeting, causing him public embarrassment and making the otherwise smooth business deal exceptionally difficult.
But if this business went smoothly, wouldn't it just be waiting to die?
After Lü Feng had Lin Feng investigate further, his mind, which had been somewhat muddled, was now clear about what this data represented.
Since the data could change, and it changed in a short period, it was enough to prove that the data provided by Liu He was in its most normal state.
If the data continued to evolve in this manner, the result would be that the moment the business was signed the day after tomorrow, this changed data would revert to its initial state.
At that time, the Lin family would have been completely tricked and trapped.
When that critical moment arrived, no matter how great Lü Feng's abilities were, it would be a done deal, and he would be powerless to turn the tide.
"We absolutely cannot let things develop to that point."
Lü Feng couldn't help but murmur to himself.
"But what can we do now? You've seen my dad; he doesn't believe us at all. Even if we provide more data, it's useless."
Lin Mei's words were not wrong.
However, her words instantly reminded him.
After a brief pause, Lü Feng said, "Since this path doesn't work, let's switch to another one."
"But do we have any other methods now?" Lin Mei looked at Lü Feng with trepidation.
Now, there were at most two days left until the final decision. Where could they find other methods in two days?
Lin Mei couldn't think of any.
However, after a moment of thought, Lü Feng's stiff smile vanished, replaced by a faint, subtle smile.
His words carried a hint of smugness.
"Since Tang Shengtang is going to play this trick on us, why can't we do the opposite?"
To act in reverse, this was easy to say, but incredibly difficult to do.
The situation was not optimistic.
Tang Shengtang held the overall advantage, controlling the situation. What was even more despairing was that even Lin Dong, their own person, had absolute faith in what this person said and did.
How could they possibly win?
If their own people didn't believe what they said, what credibility did they have?
However, at this moment, Lü Feng was incredibly calm.
Lin Mei's jumbled words seemed to swirl around him, but ultimately, they were blocked by an invisible force.
"If this person dares to do this, why shouldn't we?"
With that, Lü Feng pulled Lin Mei to a relatively secluded spot and then whispered something into her ear.
Lin Mei listened quietly, but the more she listened, the more uneasy and terrified she became.
"Lü Feng, what you're doing is like licking blood off a blade!" Lin Mei's beautiful face was clouded with worry. This was no joke; if things went according to Lü Feng's plan, they could be utterly destroyed.
They would definitely not be able to stay in the Lin family, and whether they could even leave Southeast City alive was a question.
Lü Feng looked back at Lin Mei's anxious gaze and took a deep breath.
He had made up his mind and was determined. This was the only effective method he could think of at the moment.
"We can't worry about that much anymore."
It was like giving a critically ill patient strong medicine. Was it meaningful to worry about the patient's life before the medicine took effect?
Lin Mei was speechless at this point, as Lü Feng's words were quite reasonable. She couldn't think of any better method.
As a result, Lin Mei quietly said,
"If that's the case, I'll cooperate. But you must be extremely careful."
"Alright, I'll go then. You stay with your father."
Lü Feng quickly walked out of the villa. Lin Mei stood in place, watching Lü Feng's receding figure, a few sparkling tears welling up in her eyes, blurring her vision.
At the same time, she silently prayed, "Please don't let anything happen."
A quarter of an hour later, after receiving his guests, Lin Dong finally had some free time.
The butler served Lin Dong some afternoon dessert to replenish his energy and quietly asked a few questions.
"I think Mr. Lü and Miss Lin's concerns are not entirely unreasonable."
Before the butler could finish, Lin Dong immediately interrupted him with a shake of his head.
"What? What do you think is reasonable?"
"I think this Zhouge Group does indeed carry some risk."
However, upon hearing this, Lin Dong laughed even more heartily.
"Of course, I know there's risk."
Hearing this, the butler's eyes widened. "If you know there's risk, then Master, you!"
This was like knowing there was a tiger in the mountains but heading straight for it.
This could lead to losses.
He naturally didn't understand Lin Dong's thoughts.
Lin Dong had his own calculations. This matter did indeed carry risk.
However, at present, after his calculations, the risk was less than the reward.
There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If you wanted to gain rewards, you had to bear the corresponding risks.
This was the essence of doing business.
The Lin family urgently needed to expand its strength externally, and this Zhouge Group was a direction he favored and considered quite promising.
If this deal was successful, the Lin family's strength would double, and their ability to withstand risks would also increase.
In this business environment, it was either advance or retreat!
These were all conclusions drawn from Lin Dong's years of experience in this field.
Lin Dong didn't want to explain to the butler, nor could he.
He merely took a bite of dessert, drank some coffee, and said with a smile,
"You've been by my side for a long time. Don't you trust my judgment?"
Hearing this, the butler's expression changed.
After all, he was a subordinate. Although Lin Dong hadn't said it directly, he was essentially reminding him not to get too involved in business matters.
Having followed Lin Dong for so many years, the butler was not someone who lacked tact.
The butler forced a smile.
"Yes, Master. I was just curious, that's all."
After speaking, the butler immediately fell silent.
Meanwhile, at Zhouge Villa, the assistant saw that the time was drawing near. However, Tang Shengtang, contrary to his previous urgency, had become rather lax, which puzzled the assistant.
The assistant couldn't help but ask.
"Director Tang, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
As soon as he said this, Tang Shengtang chuckled.
"Me? I'm feeling great!"
Hearing this, the assistant was momentarily speechless. If he was fine, then why wasn't he paying attention to business matters?
However, the assistant certainly wouldn't say this to Tang Shengtang's face.
He was, after all, just an assistant. It wouldn't do to be like a eunuch anxious for the emperor, only to be in vain.
