Don't meet me in your next life.

Senior management meeting room at Lin's Group Shashi Branch.

Lin Lubai sat in the middle with a gloomy expression.

The person on the left is Xiao Zhao, and the person on the right is the company's vice president.

"Today's meeting is mainly to discuss the situation of the Lu family. We have been suppressing the Lu family for several months, and I want to close the net. What are your thoughts?"

The meeting room was completely silent; everyone was waiting for the boss to continue.

"The Lu Group is finished in the real estate sector. The 50 billion yuan project can't even start now; we've cut off their cash flow. They can't cover the debts they've secured with banks, and we won't lend them any more money. This will only make their cash shortage worse. Now, shouldn't we take over the project at the lowest possible price? Just when they think they still have a chance, we can deliver another heavy blow." Lin Lubai's voice was deep but powerful.

Everyone in the meeting room was listening attentively.

The secretary was taking notes, and occasionally the group would start a discussion.

The final result of the discussion was that everyone agreed to close the net directly and deal a heavy blow to the Lu family.

With the initial plan finalized, everyone got busy.

"Xiao Zhao, you close the net there too," Lin Lubai instructed.

Lin Lubai was initially hesitant about whether to give him a chance, as he was reluctant to do so because he had a younger brother and a grandfather.

Now that things have come to this, Lin Lubai no longer thinks about so much. Lu Chengmin killed his mother, and Lu Sichen stole his wife; he cannot forgive him.

Xiao Zhao handed over all the collected information and evidence to the Public Security Bureau, and Lu Chengmin was quickly arrested.

Lin Lubai dialed her grandfather's number: "Grandpa, I've avenged my mother."

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone: "Child, I'm sorry to have troubled you."

After hanging up the phone, looking out at the gray sky, he felt empty inside.

The Lu family was in complete chaos.

Just an hour earlier, Lu Chengmin was arrested on charges of unfair competition and illegal fundraising.

The Lu family was once again suppressed by the Lin family, which seemed to be pushing the Lu family to the brink of ruin.

The management was in complete disarray, and some suggested that Lu Sichen take over.

"Xiao Chen, this is your Uncle Zhang. Something's happened at the company, and your father has been taken away by the police. You need to come back right away."

When Lu Sichen's father's secretary, Zhang Xin, called, Lu Sichen had just finished breakfast and was planning to go fishing with Xiang Yi.

"Uncle Zhang, you must be joking. I called Grandpa a week ago and he was perfectly fine." Lu Sichen said, somewhat puzzled.

"Yes, but three days ago, for some unknown reason, the Lin family started to suppress the Lu family,"

"The Lu family's market value has plummeted, its cash flow has been suddenly cut off, the banks are refusing to lend any more money, and they're even threatening to freeze assets. They might be forced into liquidation."

"Is this related to my brother?" Lu Sichen couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yi, who was standing to the side, froze, and all her nerves tensed up.

"The current clues all point to the Lin family. I can't say for sure what the specifics are, but it's definitely related to the Lin family."

"Okay, I understand. Uncle Zhang, I'll buy the ticket and come back now."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Sichen glanced at Xiang Yiyi.

“Yi Yi, since my dad and I are both in trouble, I have to go back.”

“I’m going back too, I also want to go home.”

"Okay. Let's go back together then. I'll book the tickets now."

Lu Sichen was also worried about Xiang Yiyi staying here. At least when he went back, he would still have Xiao Qing and could see her.

There were tickets available for the same day back to Shashi, but the timing was a bit rushed, and there was only one flight per day.

Without having a choice, Lu Sichen could only book a flight back today.

The plane flew south, and neither Lu Sichen nor Xiang Yiyi spoke.

After getting off the plane, Lu Sichen asked his friend Chen Xi to pick up Yi Yi: "Remember to call me if anything happens. I need to go back and take care of things at home first."

"Aren't you coming with us?" Xiang Yi asked him.

"No, we're not going that way. I've called a car. I'll have Chen Xi take you home first."

"it is good."

Seeing his anxious expression and his concern for her, Xiang Yi didn't say anything more and followed his instructions.

"Chen Xi, please take good care of Yi Yi for me, and find someone to clean her house." After giving these instructions, Lu Sichen felt relieved and let her leave.

"Don't worry. I'll handle it." Chen Xi drove Xiang Yi home.

Lu Sichen went straight home as soon as he got off the plane.

The house was in complete chaos. Dad's secretary, Lu's mother, and the two shareholders were discussing countermeasures, while Grandpa sat to the side.

Upon seeing Lu Sichen return, Lu's mother rushed towards him as if she had found a lifeline.

"Son, your father, your father..." Mother Lu's tears fell in a steady stream.

Lu Sichen raised his hand to wipe away his mother's tears: "Okay, it's alright, I'm back."

"Xiao Chen, come and sit down," Grandpa said.

Lu Sichen pulled his mother over and sat her down on the sofa.

“Xiao Chen, we have two problems to solve now. One is your father’s case. There is solid evidence there, and it may not be easy to get it out. We can only try to get a lighter sentence.”

"Isn't there any other way? Hire a good lawyer and see if we can bail my dad out."

"It's unlikely. I've already found a lawyer. I'll meet with him later and see if I can get it done. Also, since that money hole hasn't been filled, your dad will probably get a heavier sentence."

Lu Sichen's eyes darkened. Although he had never gotten along with his father and disliked his way of doing things, at this moment, his heart felt like it had been chewed up by a dog, aching and painful.

"How much will it cost? I'll figure something out."

"About two hundred million."

"Okay. I understand. What's the second question?"

"If you can solve the money problem, then we only have one other problem left. The company has actually been on a downward trend for the past five years, and last year it was barely hanging on. I've talked to your father many times about changing projects and restructuring, but he doesn't agree. Now that things have come to this, you need to consider whether to reorganize or declare bankruptcy and liquidation."

"Has it come to this?"

Lu Sichen found it hard to believe. Had the company started failing five years ago? His father hadn't told him anything about it.

Is there any hope for rectification now?

“It’s like gambling; nobody can predict the outcome,” one of the shareholders remarked.

“If the Lin family doesn’t put pressure on us, we might have a chance,” another person said. “But the Lin family has been targeting the Lu family for years.”

Lu Sichen lowered his head and remained silent.

After a long while, he raised his head and said, "No matter what happens to the Lin family, I will give it a try. The Lu family is the result of my grandfather's and my father's hard work."

The two shareholders looked at Mr. Lu, who simply nodded slightly.

"Okay, whatever you decide, we'll support you. But you should still be prepared for tomorrow's shareholders' meeting."

"Okay. Please give me two proposals first, and we'll discuss it after the shareholders' meeting."

“Alright, let’s go back and think of a plan, see how to restructure.” Having received his answer, the two shareholders got up and left.

After they all left, Lu Sichen's grandfather said, "Xiao Chen, go talk to your brother. Don't hurt his feelings. Give him whatever he wants if you can. It's the Lu family that has wronged him."

“Okay, I understand, Grandpa,” Lu Sichen said.

Lu Sichen had heard his grandfather talk about his family affairs to some extent, and he knew that the Lu family had wronged him, but he still couldn't bear to watch the Lu family perish.
