Ye Mengxin returned to her residence after leaving. Of course, she wouldn't choose to live with Ye Lin. Given her foul temper, it wasn't just him, even Ye Xingchen couldn't stand it sometimes.
As soon as she opened the door, her eyes narrowed slightly. She didn't turn on the light.
"It's rather presumptuous for Your Excellency to be in my home. Without a valid reason, I can't guarantee you'll leave here standing."
Ye Mengxin casually sat on the sofa, her legs crossed on the coffee table, looking quite languid.
"Miss Ye, are you willing to live under Ye Lin? We can help you. If you wish, we will do everything in our power to put you above Ye Lin."
In the darkness, a hoarse voice slowly emerged.
Ye Mengxin sneered, "Boring. If that's all there is to it, please leave."
"Doesn't Miss Ye wish to be superior to others? With our help, you could even enter the core of the Ye family's main lineage. Ambition is natural; as long as you say the word, we can surely make it happen."
Ye Mengxin stretched languidly, saying nothing.
"The harm Ye Lin caused you, although it can be repaired through cosmetic surgery, the psychological trauma cannot. As long as you are willing to join us, I guarantee that Ye Lin will be dead, gone from this world, within a day."
"Of course, if you wish to exact revenge personally, you may. However, if it's discovered it was you, we have considerable influence."
As the words fell, Ye Mengxin suddenly vanished from the sofa. When she reappeared, the lights were bright, and Ye Mengxin was tapping the neck of the black-robed figure with one hand, her eyes flashing with cold light.
"This is not your concern. If the Dark Hall's intelligence protection is not strict enough, I will consider wiping out its branch!"
Ye Mengxin at this moment was completely different from her earlier demeanor.
The decisive, ruthless individual and the languid beauty simply shouldn't coexist in the same person.
"What do you mean?"
The black-robed figure in Ye Mengxin's hand suddenly disappeared. The figure reappeared beside her, the hoarse voice speaking again.
Ye Mengxin let out a cold snort and said indifferently, "My rank is higher than yours."
After she spoke, silence fell over the living room.
Ye Mengxin spoke again, "Is your mission to destroy the Plum Blossom Group?"
...
After the events of last night, many companies began approaching Yuanzhan Capital for cooperation.
The primary reason was Ye Longlin's terrifying methods. Moreover, they were already aware that Ye Longlin was the legendary mysterious boss, so the thought of resistance simply wouldn't arise.
However, on their way to Yuanzhan Capital, the Plum Blossom Group suddenly issued a statement – announcing a financing conference to be held this evening at Qingfeng Resort, officially declaring war on Juling Group and Yuanzhan Capital. They also stated that as of ten o'clock this morning, Plum Blossom Group had already raised fifty billion!
This news was undeniably fierce.
In Xingcheng, no company's market value exceeded fifty billion. Only Zhang Xiao's Zhang Group had a market value of thirty billion.
With fifty billion in funds entering the fray, this was poised to be the biggest corporate battle in Xingcheng's history!
To earn money for the research department, Ye Longlin's plan to visit the southern province had been postponed. Heroes not only find it hard to resist beauties but also hard to resist money.
"This fifty billion should be legitimate. With the support of the Ye family's main lineage and backing from numerous groups in the southern province, there shouldn't be any issues."
Ye Longlin didn't understand corporate warfare, so he could only entrust it to Mu Ye and Wang Xiulan.
"Fifty billion in liquid funds is difficult even for us to gather unless the main lineage supports us. We..."
Ye Longlin waved his hand, "You don't need to contribute money. I will handle the financial matters."
The two said no more, nodded, and left.
Mu Hanqi spoke from the side, "Someone from Plum Blossom Group just delivered an invitation. They clearly want us to attend. After all, a declaration of war by only one side lacks excitement; it would just be a banquet. But with an opposing party, it's entirely different."
"Furthermore, Plum Blossom Group is declaring war on both Juling Group and us simultaneously. That's rather interesting. I wonder if their strength can withstand the combined force of our two entities."
Ye Lin was unaware that Diana's arrival brought five hundred billion in funds. If he knew, he certainly wouldn't have declared war on both fronts simultaneously.
However, the funds needed now would definitely not be squeezed from Diana.
This fifty billion was the result of their team's efforts over many years. If they lost, this money would have to be returned to her. But if they won, they would only take out twenty percent, as previously agreed.
"Raising funds tonight is, in the end, just a way to probe the opponent's cards. While Ye Lin's intentions are deep, she's not as troublesome as one might imagine; she likes to show off."
Ye Longlin tapped the table and smiled, understanding Ye Lin very well.
Mu Hanqi worried, "But where can we raise such a large sum of money? Even if we pooled all the liquid funds in Xingcheng's business circles, it might not be enough. This corporate battle will require at least a hundred billion, perhaps even rising to two hundred billion. We don't have that much money."
"I know the financial situation of Mu Group; many projects have been initiated, and currently, they can only come up with a little over a billion. Wang Group is likely in a similar situation, so there's a significant shortfall. If we truly fight, we will definitely lose."
Ye Longlin smiled mysteriously, "That's not necessarily true."
Mu Hanqi blinked, then smiled charmingly, "Then I understand."
Lin Tian'ai, also at Juling Group, received the news and went to the finance department.
"The Plum Blossom Group is ready to make its move. If I don't have controlling interest soon, it will be very troublesome. Moreover, Ye Lin will use the controlling interest to cause trouble for Ye Longlin. You don't want Ye Longlin to have problems, do you?"
For the time being, Lin Tian'ai, Diana, and Mu Hanqi were on the same side.
Diana pushed her glasses up and her hands flew across the keyboard, typing rapidly. Without turning her head, she said, "Miss Diana, as the greatest trader in history, she will not allow such a situation to occur. By noon today at the latest, you will gain controlling interest. You should trust the great Diana."
Lin Tian'ai, having received the answer, breathed a sigh of relief. "That would be for the best. Oh, and Ye Longlin asked me to tell you to attend the fundraising banquet together tonight."
"A great knight never fears a dragon, no matter how powerful the dragon is. He has never disappointed me. Miss Lin, divorcing him was the worst decision of your life. I hope you don't regret it."
Mentioning this, Lin Tian'ai's expression turned cold. "Mind your own business. Ye Longlin is Chinese and a soldier. Do you really think you have a chance with him?"
