Chapter 424 The Shattering of a Beautiful Dream (1)
Three or four days later, Si Chu finally met Bai Lin.
When Si Chu saw her, his voice was full of anxiety: "Bai Lin! Where have you been? I've called you so many times but no one answered! What about the lawyer I asked you to find? Have you found him yet?"
Si Chu was going crazy waiting here. What was the situation outside? How was his mother? Did the Si family still care about him? There wasn't even anyone to pass on a message.
Bai Lin sat down and comforted him, "I haven't had time to answer your calls these past few days. I've been dealing with your mother's affairs. She divorced the governor, and the Si family has abandoned you and your son. Madam has been sent to a sanatorium abroad, and she probably won't be able to leave for the rest of her life."
"He actually dared to get a divorce!"
Si Chu suddenly raised his voice, trembling with rage, "Without my mother, could he have become the governor of the continent? What an ungrateful wretch!"
Si Chu slammed his fists hard on the table with a dull thud. The detective standing guard nearby immediately frowned and tapped the table as a warning.
"Quiet down! If you keep making a scene, the meeting will be terminated!"
Si Chu gritted her teeth and suppressed her anger, then asked about finding him a lawyer.
Bai Lin shook her head, her tone filled with helplessness: "No lawyer in Singapore dares to take your case."
As you know, this time the governor is personally investigating. If it really goes through legal procedures, you might even face the death penalty.
These words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly turning Si Chu's face deathly pale.
Bai Lin then hinted, "However, there's still a chance. If you're willing to hand over the organization's token to me, I can mobilize the organization's resources to help you find a solution."
Si Chu's face darkened, his eyes filled with resentment: "It's all Dr. X's fault! If he hadn't meddled, I wouldn't be in this state..."
The thought of the word "death penalty" filled Si Chu with dread.
After struggling for a while, Si Chu finally raised his head. "The organization's token is in my residence; it was left to me by my father."
Go get it now! Find a way to use all the organization's resources to get me out of jail! I don't want to go to jail!
Si Chu was still plotting in his mind. If he could get out this time, he wouldn't let the Si family, the governor, Dr. X, or Yan Lan's family escape.
After leaving the guardhouse, Bai Lin didn't linger and quickly obtained the token from the prison network.
In a private room on the top floor of Tongtian Pavilion, Bai Lin and Liu Jinnian's wine glasses clinked together, making a crisp sound.
Bai Lin couldn't hide her smugness, and her voice was full of joy: "From now on, I am the new leader of the Prison Network. From now on, this power will only be used by you and me."
She finally made it through the tough times and no longer had to put up with other people's attitudes.
Liu Jinnian raised his hand and took a sip of wine. The strong liquor burned his throat, but it did not diminish the ambition in his eyes.
He looked up at Bai Lin and asked in a calm tone, "What do you plan to do with Si Chu? Keeping him around is always a potential problem."
“The governor will never let him go. Si Chu will be stuck in prison for the rest of his life, until he dies there.”
Bai Lin chuckled as she spoke, her laughter filled with undisguised sarcasm.
With a gentle twist of her wrist, the red wine in the glass swirled, its scarlet liquid resembling fresh blood that had not yet congealed, gleaming coldly under the light.
"As for that governor, I had originally arranged for people to take action, but I didn't expect that just as I found out his whereabouts, I heard that his health had already collapsed and he probably wouldn't last more than a few months."
She looked up at Liu Jinnian, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes, "If we calculate it this way, we only have one last problem left: Qin Shi and Yan Lan."
When Yan Lan was mentioned, a few drops of red wine spilled from Liu Jinnian's glass, splashing onto his shirt like tiny specks of blood.
"They...don't deserve to die, do they?"
There was a hint of hesitation in Liu Jinnian's voice.
Without the support of the Qin family, Qin Shi was long gone, like a phoenix fallen to the ground.
As for Yan Lan, once the governor really can't hold on any longer, she will lose her backing in Singapore and naturally won't be able to stay there. There's no need for them to take any further action.
"What, you're suddenly thinking about family ties now?"
Bai Lin chuckled, her tone laced with sarcasm, "But the Qin family didn't give you any consideration back then."
She leaned forward, staring at Liu Jinnian, and exposed him word by word: "Do you think Song Chi suddenly found your sister back then? It was Yan Lan who gave him the information. And your father, he was just sentenced to twenty years, the Qin family must have been involved in that as well."
"Yan Lan?" Liu Jinnian's expression changed instantly, and he looked up at Bai Lin abruptly. "How could it be her?"
He always thought that Song Chi found out on his own, and never thought that Yan Lan was involved. How could she be so ruthless?
Liu Jinnian took a deep breath, his last bit of hesitation suppressed by the strong liquor. He tilted his head back and drank the liquor in the glass in one gulp. The moment the glass was empty, his tone became extremely cold and hard.
"Arrange a press conference immediately. Tomorrow, I will take full control of the Qin family in front of everyone."
The next morning, Liu Jinnian, dressed in a sharp bespoke suit, walked into the Qin's Building.
The entrance was already packed with people, with reporters from dozens of news media outlets holding up their cameras and flashing incessantly, all waiting to capture this major event.
Liu Jinnian took the microphone and glanced at the densely packed crowd below the stage: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have gathered you here today to formally announce that, effective immediately, I, Liu Jinnian, will assume the position of President of the Qin Group and take full control of all of Qin Group's businesses."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cacophony of questions and camera shutter clicks erupted, and Liu Jinnian's lips curled into a smug smile.
Just as he was about to speak again, Bai Lin, who was beside him, answered a phone call and quickly leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words.
Liu Jinnian's smile froze instantly, and his pupils contracted sharply.
His voice suddenly rose, "What did you say? Multiple companies have announced the termination of their cooperation with the Qin family?"
