Chapter 116 Why are you taking revenge on me?
It was also through Fu Xiuheng that Lin Qingran was forced to admit that she was the behind-the-scenes boss of Shenghai Group.
Only then did they have the opportunity to take action against the factory in Nancheng, allowing Lin Qingran to discover that the factory, and even the Shenghai Group, had moles planted by Shen Pei'an.
Only in this way will Shenghai Group continue to fight with Lin's Group.
With Zhang Yihong withdrawing his investment, the Lin Group will suffer another heavy blow.
The ongoing struggle between Shenghai Group and Lin's Group, along with the internal turmoil within Lin's Group, was enough to dispel the idea of foreign companies that had previously cooperated with Shen Pei'an continuing to target Nancheng.
"This is probably the best way he could think of to preserve your hard work in Nancheng," Su Mian said.
This was indeed a grand scheme, and in the end, everyone was caught up in it, including Lin Qingran.
If Lin Qingran hadn't learned the truth along the way, then in the end, she would have only felt that some misfortunes had inexplicably occurred and were resolved just as inexplicably.
"So, what about the next paternity test?" Lin Qingran asked.
"It was also arranged by him."
Zhou Lan and Shen Pei'an had a bad relationship and disagreed on many points. Unless they didn't meet, they would argue after only a few sentences.
However, these two people have one thing in common: when faced with enormous profits, no matter how risky or how much they have to pay, even if it means losing their lives, they will never back down.
“After Shen Pei’an died, Lin Beichen only had access to the information that Shen Pei’an had, but the other part was in Zhou Lan’s hands, and Zhou Lan even played a crucial role in it. So, he had to let Zhou Lan know that you are still alive,” Su Mian said.
“Zhou Lan didn’t know your background at the time, but she knew you were the real boss of Shenghai Group. She knew you were someone who wouldn’t easily compromise with Zhou Lan, and your appearance would definitely pose a threat to her. Zhou Lan was living too comfortably. If she didn’t have a sense of crisis and didn’t take action, Lin Beichen would never know what Zhou Lan was hiding. So that’s one of the reasons he dragged you into this. Only by forcing Zhou Lan to take action could he find out what she really wanted to do.”
Lin Qingran nodded solemnly.
"Zhou Lan... what she's done goes beyond just being depraved. Has she found out anything yet?"
"We've only just gotten a lead," Su Mian said.
“I don’t know the specifics either. It’s a very private matter, and he didn’t tell me. He only told me to take good care of you. After all, I’m someone you trust. If I’m there to assist you, I can introduce you to people or projects, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and you won’t suspect anything.”
Su Mian lowered her head guiltily, "But believe me, the me you know is still the same me who started this business with you and accompanied you all the way. He didn't want to harm you, he just didn't know how else he could help you."
Lin Qingran sighed, "I understand."
Bo Ye listened for a long time, his face also filled with solemnity.
For someone like Lin Beichen, who crawled out of a den of dead people, any means are acceptable to protect those he cares about.
Even if it hurts Lin Qingran, as long as Lin Qingran survives in the end, then this part in the middle doesn't matter.
"What do we plan to do next?" Susukino asked, looking up.
“Given the current situation, there’s nothing Zhou Lan can do for the time being,” Lin Qingran said.
"Make arrangements to bring Rongrong and her family to Yuncheng as well, and we'll return as soon as possible."
But before that, Lin Qingran had an important person to meet.
It was evening, inside a secluded private room at a club.
The woman carefully pushed open the door. The private room was dimly lit, and because of her advanced age and presbyopia, it took her a long time to adjust before she could see the scene inside.
Lin Qingran sat on the sofa, leaning back quietly.
Hearing the door open, Lin Qingran didn't even look up, but simply said...
"You came?"
The woman stepped forward and stood quietly in front of Lin Qingran without responding.
Only when Lin Qingran looked up at her did the woman's body tremble slightly, and she nervously clutched her sleeve.
Lin Qingran scoffed, "Aunt Liu used to be incredibly arrogant towards me. In the Lin family, I didn't feel like a young lady; I was more like a poor relative coming to freeload. My status in the family was probably even lower than that of you servants. Otherwise, you probably wouldn't have treated me so badly back then, right?"
Lin Qingran raised her eyebrows slightly, and Aunt Liu couldn't help but take two steps back.
She tried her best to keep her voice steady so that Lin Qingran wouldn't notice the tremor in her tone.
"Back then, I treated Miss that way simply because I was Madam's person. Having served her for so many years, it's natural that I had to side with her. Whatever Madam thought, I had to think the same way."
Lin Qingran couldn't help but laugh. "If I remember correctly, the feudal era has been over for who knows how many years, right? How come Aunt Liu, as an independent person, doesn't treat being a servant as a job, but instead puts herself in the position of an ancient slave?"
Aunt Liu looked displeased and said in a cold voice.
"In the eyes of the rich, people like us are indeed just slaves to be manipulated. There is no absolute fairness in this world. As long as they have power and influence, they can still be the high and mighty gentry of feudal times."
"It seems you also have a lot of opinions about her," Lin Qingran said.
“I’ve heard about some of the tragic things that happened to you when you were young, and I can roughly understand why you might want to take revenge on her. But I don’t understand why you didn’t choose to take revenge on her personally, but instead chose to kill me.”
Aunt Liu gave a bitter laugh, "Fight her? Do you think I can beat her?"
She looked at Lin Qingran, her eyes suddenly turning extremely fierce.
"But in a sense, you are not innocent."
Lin Qingran looked at Aunt Liu with curiosity.
She really wanted to know what evil she had done to make Aunt Liu hate her so much, to make Aunt Liu tie her and Zhou Lan together, and to deliberately lure Lin Qingran there even though she knew Lin Qingran was pregnant and couldn't withstand any stimulation, just to make her and her unborn child die.
"I imagine you've done a lot of research these past few days," Aunt Liu said with a wry smile.
"But I guess what you know best is Zhao Quanying's story. Perhaps you are curious about, or even feel sorry for, Zhao Quanying, and don't understand why he married Zhou Lan's best friend, had his own child, but ended up having to give the child away to someone else."
