Lord, give up! Madam has too many vests

Chapter 425 The Shattering of a Beautiful Dream (2)

The trending search terms on the phone screen were like red-hot branding irons, burning one after another into Liu Jinnian's eyes.

His hand holding the phone trembled slightly.

"All engineers of Qinqi resigned collectively," "ST Auto officially announced the termination of its strategic cooperation with Qinqi," "COCO brand statement: all counters under Qin's Group are being closed," and "More than ten shareholders of Qin's Group jointly issued a letter to resist the appointment of the new chairman, Liu Jinnian."

"What exactly is going on?"

Liu Jinnian's voice was extremely low, and his face was so gloomy it could drip water.

Last night, everything in the Qin family's departments was running smoothly, and even the sale of shares by the Si family went very well.

"I am not sure as well!"

Bai Lin's voice was also full of anxiety, "Just now, all these news reports suddenly appeared without any warning!"

She took a deep breath before daring to say the even worse news: "After these news reports came out, Hurricane Capital and Blackstone Capital immediately took the lead in selling Qin's shares. In just two hours, the stock price dropped by 10%."

At this rate of panic selling, it'll probably fall even further tomorrow...

At that point, the assets we have used as collateral for loans won't be enough to sustain us.

Bai Lin spoke softer and softer. Both Liu Jinnian and she knew very well that in order to get back the remaining shares of Qin's Group from the Si family, they had not only taken out loans from three banks, but had even used money from underground banks.

With the stock price plummeting, Liu Jinnian's nerves are on edge, ready to snap at any moment.

"Chairman Liu! What is your response to the news of the mass resignation of Qin Motors engineers?"

"There are reports that you conspired with former Secretary-General Si Chu to manipulate the financial market, and relevant departments have launched an investigation. Is this true?"

"There are also rumors that your fiancée Yan Xue's father has been abusing his power for personal gain to pave the way for you and help you obtain business projects at low prices. How do you explain that?"

"Qin's stock price has plummeted, and international capital is continuously shorting it. What can you do to reverse the current predicament?"

The reporters' questions came like a tidal wave, and the microphones almost poked Liu Jinnian's face.

He felt a throbbing pain in his temples, his mind a complete mess, and he couldn't recall a single word of the carefully prepared official statements.

Only when his bodyguards surrounded him, forming a human wall, did he stagger away, almost fleeing the press conference venue.

The office door slammed shut, shutting out the noise behind him. Liu Jinnian loosened his tie.

He cursed, ripped off his tie and threw it on the table, then grabbed the whiskey from the drawer, unscrewed the cap, and chugdled it down his throat.

The liquor burned his throat, making him cough twice, but the irritation and panic in his chest did not subside in the slightest.

It was all too coincidental, as if someone had set up a trap all along, just waiting for him to take the chairman's seat, and then dragging him into an abyss.

"No, I can't lose."

Liu Jinnian clenched his fists, cold sweat trickling down his temples and soaking his shirt collar; his voice trembled almost imperceptibly.

He knew all too well that once the stock price collapsed, the banks' debt collection, the ruthlessness of underground banks, and the authorities' investigation could drag him into an abyss of no return.

"Jin Nian, hold on, we definitely have another way!" A glint of light flashed in Bai Lin's eyes. "That's it! I have a plan, and I have someone who can definitely save us!"

These words were like a ray of light, instantly illuminating the gloom in Liu Jinnian's heart. He looked up sharply, hope rekindling in his eyes. "Who?"

"Dr. X".

Bai Lin lowered her voice.

"Dr. X?"

Liu Jinnian's brows furrowed instantly, and the light in his eyes dimmed again.

"He is a leading figure in the medical field and can treat difficult and complicated diseases, but Qin's stock price has plummeted, so he can't help with this."

"he can!"

Bai Lin stepped forward, her tone urgent, "Have you forgotten? Two years ago, the governor suddenly fell seriously ill and became a vegetable. It was he who revived him right in front of us."

And then there was Old Master Qin, who had been lying motionless for years, only waking up thanks to medicine from the X Research Institute!

She stared into Liu Jinnian's eyes. "Actually, I investigated this a few years ago. Dr. X's research institute has been secretly developing a new drug. That drug can regenerate dead brain cells. Just think about it, what does that mean? It's a breakthrough that could rewrite the history of human medicine!"

"If this drug can be successfully developed, its market value will be immeasurable!"

Liu Jinnian's voice was filled with excitement, "If he is willing to hand over the production rights of the new drug to the Qin family, then the Qin family... no, the future Liu family, will not only be number one in Singapore, but we can directly become a world-class super biotechnology company!"

With a "boom," these words exploded in Liu Jinnian's mind like a thunderclap.

He jumped up from his chair, all his previous panic vanished, and even his breathing became rapid.

He seemed to have grasped a lifeline, no, a golden key that could make him soar to new heights!

"But why should Dr. X help us?"

A hint of hesitation appeared in Liu Jinnian's eyes. "If I hadn't given up studying medicine back then and had actually become his student, perhaps we could have developed some kind of relationship..."

Before he could finish speaking, he chuckled to himself, full of self-mockery, realizing that saying these things now was just useless nonsense.

"I have a solution."

Bai Lin's tone held a hint of ruthlessness, "Isn't he one of his students? As long as we control him, why would he refuse?"

Liu Jinnian's eyes sharpened, and he instantly understood Bai Lin's meaning. They were already very familiar with the coercive methods used by the prison network.

"You mean Sun Nanyue?" Liu Jinnian recalled the enrollment a few years ago. Dr. X had only ever taken on one disciple in his life. Now, Sun Nanyue was the vice president of Dongfang Hospital, and her reputation was quite impressive.

"It's her."

Bai Lin nodded, "It's just Dongfang Hospital. We can find a few people to keep an eye on it and find an opportunity to 'invite' her over. I'm not worried that she won't agree."

Liu Jinnian didn't hesitate any longer: "Okay, let's do it this way. Get someone to make the move immediately. Sun Nanyue must be brought here tonight!"

Hidden in the shadows, people quietly surrounded Dongfang Hospital, waiting for Sun Nanyue to get off work, ready to make their move at any moment.

Little did they know that Sun Nanyue was not in her hospital office at that moment, and was completely unaware of what was about to happen.

Sun Nanyue was surprised to see the news headline on her phone: "Dr. X visits Singapore and successfully saves the governor."

Recently, the hospital has been dealing with a constant stream of critical cases, keeping her extremely busy. She only found out about this major event by browsing the news.

"The teacher has actually come to Singapore..."

Although she was known as "Dr. X's only student," she had only ever listened to his lectures and read his research materials through a screen over the years. She had only seen a few blurry old photos of her teacher and had never met him in person.

Just as she was worrying, she suddenly received an email from her teacher, inviting her to lunch together!
