She abandoned her husband first, then her children, and was ecstatic after the divorce.

Chapter 112 contains many drugs for preventing rejection.

Lin Qingran nodded slightly.

All of what Bo Ye said can be verified; all you need to do is look up the companies that cooperated with the Lin Group back then.

Moreover, even without investigation, Lin Qingran had heard about it before.

It is said that her maternal grandfather was ruthless and decisive. The small businesses that relied on him back then gradually developed, and some of them are now able to have a place in Beijing.

Those companies that didn't have a smooth negotiation at the beginning eventually disappeared for various reasons.

"and after?"

"Things got a bit complicated after that." Bo Ye's expression changed.

"Shen Pei-an spent two years overseas managing the Lin Group's branches. He was extremely busy at that time, and for two years, he didn't even come back for the Chinese New Year. However, the Lin Group's overseas branches suffered from poor management and a broken capital chain, and declared bankruptcy shortly after Shen Pei-an returned to China."

Bo Ye looked at Lin Qingran, hesitated for a moment, and then said.

"He left the country right after you faked your death."

"What did you say?" Lin Qingran sat up straight, somewhat agitated.

Logically speaking, Shen Pei-an's decision to go abroad at that time was understandable.

Because by then he had already taken over the Lin Group for many years and had secured his position as president of the Lin Group.

It's perfectly normal for him to focus all his energy on overseas branches in order to expand the business.

Moreover, at that time, Zhou Lan no longer had any possibility of suddenly appearing and seizing power, so Shen Pei'an really had no worries about the future.

However, the poor performance of the Lin Group's branch, which led to its bankruptcy, makes it seem somewhat suspicious.

Shen Pei-an is so resourceful and has put in so much effort, how could he possibly achieve such a result?

"Moreover, after Shen Pei'an returned to China, the Lin Group's development declined significantly," Bo Ye said.

"The reason for this is that Shen Pei'an has changed his plans for the Lin Group, wanting to seek stability rather than risky gains. This has led to a narrowing of the Lin Group's business scope and fewer industries it has ventured into. However, the Lin Group's business is more focused on heavy industry, which will never be outdated. Therefore, even relying on its past achievements, the Lin Group has been able to maintain its position among the top ten in Beijing for several years."

Lin Qingran fell into deep thought, and after a long while, she slowly spoke.

"So, Shen Pei'an's personality changed drastically after his trip abroad?"

“That’s right.” Bo Ye nodded.

“From the perspective of the Lin Group’s development, Shen Pei’an’s change of thinking makes sense. Many established companies have blindly transformed themselves for fear of falling behind the times, only to plummet in the end and their status is far worse than before. Although the Lin Group has been called a conservative for many years, overall, apart from Zhang Yihong’s sudden withdrawal of investment, there have been no other major upheavals.”

Susuno thought for a moment, then tentatively asked.

"Sister, would you like to hear more?"

Lin Qingran had a vague answer in her mind. She could sense that if she continued to talk, she might not be able to accept the final result.

But Lin Qingran took a deep breath and nodded.

"You go on."

"Rumor has it that Shen Pei'an was disfigured due to an injury sustained during his two years abroad. So, rather than handling the Lin Group's overseas business, he was more likely recuperating during those two years," Bo Ye said cautiously.

"Although this matter has not been confirmed, it is rumored in the industry. After all, during those years, Shen Pei'an not only did not return to China, but he also did not allow people in China to visit him, not even his family. Some people were even curious and asked Zhou Lan about it. Zhou Lan did not give a clear answer, but it was basically equivalent to admitting it. And I heard that Shen Pei'an's appearance did change after he returned to China after handling his business."

Bo Ye took out several photos from the file bag, lined them up, and placed them in front of Lin Qingran.

"The person seems to be the same, but there are definitely signs of artificial restoration in his appearance. His whole aura is different. So even though this is just a rumor so far, almost everyone in the industry who has heard about it accepts that it did happen."

Lin Qingran's hands trembled slightly, and the answer that had been swirling in her mind became clearer and clearer.

"Have you checked...?"

"I checked." Before Lin Qingran could finish speaking, Bo Ye nodded.

"Shen Pei'an was born in a village in the Northwest. When I went to investigate, I unexpectedly discovered that he and Lin Beicheng were from the same place. My people made a special trip there to inquire about some information. They learned that Lin Beicheng's parents did not only have him as a child; they had an older son in their early years. However, due to financial difficulties, the child was given away shortly after birth. Later, after they reunited with the main branch of the Lin family, their lives gradually became more affluent, and they tried to find their older son, but there was still no news."

Bo Ye looked up at Lin Qingran, "This is all the information I can gather about Shen Pei'an. But he has a confidant who has been following him for the past few years. He seems to value that person highly, you could even say he's like a brother. This subordinate has always been kept by him outside, and he won't use him unless absolutely necessary. I checked, and he buys a bottle of medicine from overseas at certain times every year. These medicines are all for preventing rejection."

"I understand." Lin Qingran suddenly stood up.

She hurriedly returned to her room and changed her clothes.

Bo Ye sat on the sofa looking at Lin Qingran. After a while, Bo Ye stood up and walked over.

"I go with you."

Lin Qingran's car was parked in front of the Lin Group building.

She raised her head and looked up at the towering buildings in front of her.

The Lin Group stands in one of the most valuable locations in Beijing, facing the Fu Group building across the moat.

The hard work and dedication of generations have been poured into these two buildings. Perhaps there are already places inside that are rotten and infested with maggots, but today's glory can still cover up the unsightly state inside.

Lin Qingran had passed by the Lin Group building many times, but had never gone inside.

Lin Qingran slowly pushed open the car door, and when her feet touched solid ground, she was somewhat dazed.

Her arrival at the Lin Group almost immediately attracted the attention of many people.

The press conference held by Sheng Hai Group not long ago is still fresh in my mind. The mysterious behind-the-scenes boss finally revealed his true colors and has now appeared at Lin's Group.

Almost everyone held their breath until the receptionist nervously stepped forward.
