A hint of displeasure flickered across Lin Feng’s face, quite evident.
This was a crucial moment. He was counting on Lu Feng to reveal something, anything, that would help him handle this mess.
Now, of all times, someone had disrupted the atmosphere. How could Lin Feng not be annoyed?
Without a moment’s delay, he strode to the door, then with a click, opened it a crack. Before the person outside could utter a word, he boomed,
“Hurry up, can’t you see I’m busy? Get lost!”
Normally, a subordinate of Lin Feng’s wouldn’t dare disobey. But this person was gripping the door crack tightly with one hand, showing no intention of letting go.
Lin Feng found this peculiar and quickly looked up.
At that very instant, Lin Feng saw an overwhelming despair in the person’s eyes.
Along with that expression, a few pleas escaped from the depths of his throat.
The man was loyal, otherwise, he wouldn’t have come here at such a time, asking for trouble.
“It’s not that I lack foresight, sir, it’s just that this matter is too significant, too urgent. I couldn’t help it. I’m afraid we can’t delay.”
Lin Feng did not appreciate these words.
What could possibly be more pressing than the survival of the Lin family?
Lin Feng had already gone all-in.
At this juncture, any major event had to take a backseat.
With this thought, Lin Feng acted immediately.
However, just as he was about to forcefully close the door, Lu Feng spoke, preempting him.
“Let him in!”
“This!” Lin Feng felt as if he’d been struck by lightning. Though stunned, since Lu Feng had said so, he had no choice but to release his grip and make way.
But he was deeply puzzled. What was Lu Feng up to? Just moments ago, he had gone to great lengths to create a relatively peaceful environment.
He had even instructed Zhang Yun to act mysteriously. What was happening now? Why was he actively inviting trouble?
Lin Feng’s mind raced. After a moment, his eyes lit up. Could it be that Lu Feng had already found a solution?
Without time to ask and resolve his confusion, the person from outside had already reached them.
And Lu Feng had already spoken.
“Speak, what is it?”
The man, having rushed here, had been holding back his words for a long time. Hearing this, the words poured out like a flood from a broken dam, gushing forth incessantly.
“Mr. Lin, we have a batch of goods that needs to be shipped out urgently today. However, the logistics company responsible has also refused to cooperate with us. These are fresh goods, and the client is out of town, expecting delivery the day after tomorrow. You should know the quantity of these goods, Mr. Lin, it’s quite substantial!”
After speaking, the man turned to look at Lin Feng.
He certainly knew about that batch of goods.
Last week, he had personally handled the procurement. Not only was the demand urgent and the quantity large, but the client was also extremely picky about the quality of the preparation.
This was the first time this person was doing business with the Lin family. The client’s side also had a very large and financially robust group behind them.
In Lin Feng’s view, this was an opportunity to boost the Lin family’s reputation.
Once the Lin family successfully completed this deal, their name would spread in other provinces.
Not only would they be able to continue the client’s business, but they could also expand their business scale.
It was a win-win situation. Yet, he never expected that the goods he handled would end up without any means of transportation.
The client was not close to Dongnan City. Where could he find a logistics company in such a short time?
If the goods couldn’t be delivered, not only would the Lin family’s reputation outside the province plummet, but it would also be a severe blow to the Lin family.
If this matter were to be exposed.
No, it wasn’t a 'if,' it was a 'when.'
Even Lin Feng could see that someone was deliberately causing this situation.
These people, having finally found an opening, would naturally try their best to add insult to injury.
The Lin family had at least a dozen listed companies. These listed companies formed the financial lifeline of the Lin family.
Once such news was disclosed, it would have a devastating impact on the stocks of these listed companies.
The Lin family’s extensive business operations and long-standing presence in Dongnan City and surrounding areas relied entirely on one word: reputation.
Upon hearing this drastic turn of events,
The stock prices would likely plummet. In the short term, at least for the next year or two, it would be extremely difficult for the stock prices to recover.
This would mean that countless funds would evaporate rapidly during this period.
The immense losses could very well cause the Lin family’s cash flow to break.
This was likely the effect those hiding in the shadows intended to achieve.
Their objective was crystal clear, their methods were ruthless and their intentions obvious.
However, there was one point Lin Feng found utterly perplexing. Logically, not only had he personally handled this shipment, but the person he found for transportation was also an acquaintance.
If he remembered correctly, that person was an old friend he had known for five or six years.
He found it hard to believe that such a person would do such a thing.
Lin Feng still remembered that the person had given him his word when he approached him.
As a result, Lin Feng’s face was filled with astonishment. He then questioned,
“Are you sure you’re mistaken?”
After all, in such circumstances, it was not impossible for those hiding in the shadows to deliberately fan the flames and add fuel to the fire.
But upon hearing this, the person before him shook his head resolutely.
This person was Lin Feng’s confidant, and he was clear about all the details of this business deal.
Furthermore, given his relationship with Lin Feng, how could he dare to speak so confidently without first clarifying the matter?
Noticing the man’s firm conviction, Lin Feng was almost angered to the point of spitting blood and fainting.
Immediately, Lin Feng was about to turn to Lu Feng and leave to settle the score with that person himself.
But this time, before he could utter a word, Lu Feng interrupted him again.
“Brother Lin, I don’t think it’s necessary to go.”
This!
Lu Feng meant…?
Lin Feng was already struggling to understand Lu Feng’s actions. Now, he was completely bewildered.
