Lin Li didn't dare say he understood Su Qian very well, but her unusual emotions meant there must be something else besides the misunderstanding last night.

Moreover, Su Qian's reaction was clearly excessive when he mentioned Wei Xiang in the car earlier.

Lin Li arrived at the top floor in no time. He didn't go straight into the office, but stood at the door.

With his keen hearing, he could hear what was happening inside, even through a thick solid wood door.

"Waaaaah..."

Suppressed sobs came from the office; it was Su Qian's voice.

Lin Li's heart tightened, and he disregarded the fact that he had just been kicked out, pushing the door open and walking in.

The office was a mess, with documents scattered all over the floor.

Hearing the door open, Su Qian suddenly looked up, her face streaked with tears and her eyes red and swollen.

Upon seeing that it was Lin Li, she was taken aback for a moment, then grabbed a folder from the table and suddenly threw it at him.

"Why did you come back?! Didn't I tell you to get out?! Get out!"

Lin Li dodged the folder to the side, strode over, grabbed Su Qian's wrist, and pressed her into a chair.

"Have you made enough of a scene?!"

He shouted sternly.

"No! I'm just being dramatic! I'm a complete failure! I can't do anything right!"

Su Qian cried and struggled, even kicking Lin Li a few times, "Are you satisfied now? Are you happy to see me make a fool of myself?!"

"What exactly happened?"

Lin Li didn't take Su Qian's small amount of strength seriously. He stared into her eyes and asked, word by word, "Tell me."

Su Qian took a few deep breaths, looked at Lin Li's serious face, and suddenly couldn't hold back anymore.

"Gone...all gone..."

Tears streamed down her face, and she stammered, "Just this morning... the HR department came to report, Wei Xiang..."

"Wei Xiang, along with two core technical staff members from the R&D department and the company's latest technical solutions, jumped ship!"

"They went to Mingwei Group! Chujian Culture's arch-rival!"

When Su Qian saw the message in the morning, her hands and feet instantly turned ice-cold, and she almost couldn't help but cry in front of Lin Yuehua and the other two.

"The reason Haiyan Group terminated the contract is because Mingwei Group offered the exact same proposal as us, but at a lower price!"

"Now that Wei Xiang and his team are gone, we've been confirmed as guilty of technological backwardness and even plagiarism!"

"The company is finished... Chujian Culture is finished... This is my father's life's work..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Li's face instantly turned extremely gloomy and terrifying.

It really was Wei Xiang!

Yesterday in the office, he saw through that old fox's act, but Su Qian let him go in order to keep people calm.

Looking at the woman in front of him crying so hard that she had no composure whatsoever, Lin Li felt both distressed and angry.

"Cry? What's the use of crying?"

He suddenly released his grip, looking coldly at Su Qian, his tone laced with mockery: "Su Qian, is this all you've got?"

"Does she just hide in her office and cry when she encounters a little setback? Does she only take her anger out on the people around her?"

Su Qian was stunned, looking at Lin Li with teary eyes, unable to believe that this man would say such a thing at this time.

"Don't you know in your heart that Wei Xiang is untrustworthy?"

Lin Li showed no mercy, continuing his attack: "Now that things have gone wrong, instead of trying to salvage the situation or fight back, you're just giving up on yourself?"

"How can you do this to your father? How can you face the employees who are still working at the company?"

"I……"

Su Qian opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.

I misjudged you.

Lin Li looked at her expressionlessly and said with disappointment, "I thought you were a capable and strong woman, but I didn't expect you to be just a useless rich girl who only knows how to act spoiled and unreasonable."

"Since you want to admit defeat, then shut down the company. You can't hold on to it anyway."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

"stop!"

A sharp shout came from behind, "Lin Li! What right do you have to talk to me like that?!"

She jumped up, hastily wiping away her tears, and glared fiercely at Lin Li's retreating figure: "I won't give up! I won't!"

"If you think they can defeat me with those underhanded tactics, then you're blind!"

Lin Li actually thought she was the kind of useless person who only knew how to throw tantrums. If she really was useless, the company should have belonged to the Gan family the moment her father collapsed!

The reason she couldn't withstand the pressure from the Gan family father and son later was simply because she hadn't been with the company long enough!

Lin Li smiled silently with his back to Su Qian, then turned around and deliberately looked Su Qian up and down: "Now that's more like a chairman."

He walked up to Su Qian and put the leash in her hand.

"Black Tail and Old Nine will stay here. If you have to leave the company, you must take them with you."

"Hmm? Where are you going?"

Upon hearing this, Su Qian instinctively asked a follow-up question. Although the grievance in her heart was still there, the sense of despair had been diluted considerably by anger.

"Something's up."

Lin Li glanced at the documents scattered all over the floor and reminded him, "I think what you should be concerned about right now isn't where I'm going, but whether you can even organize these documents?"

……

After leaving Chujian Culture, Lin Li dialed a number.

"Feed? Master Li?!"

A surprised female voice came from the other end of the phone, "You finally remembered to call me?"

"Hongqiong, I'm on my way to Black Dragon Prison. I have something to take care of."

"Okay! I'll arrange it right away! I'll wait for you in my office!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Li stepped on the gas and sped off towards the outskirts of the city.

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the gate of Black Dragon Prison.

The heavy iron gate slowly opened, and two rows of prison guards were already lined up and waiting.

A young woman in a business suit, sitting in a wheelchair, was at the front of the line.

She is Bao Hongqiong, the only daughter of Bao Lei, the warden of Black Dragon Prison.

"Master Li!"

Upon seeing Lin Li, her eyes lit up, and she slid her wheelchair over to him.

"Don't get agitated."

Lin Li walked over and placed his hand on Bao Hongqiong's shoulder, then checked her pulse. "How's your Qi cultivation going lately? Are you still experiencing phantom limb pain?"

Bao Hongqiong lost her right leg in a serious car accident and suffered from phantom limb pain after the surgery. She even became depressed and contemplated suicide.

Lin Li used his medical skills and internal energy to relieve her pain and also taught her a special breathing technique.

"Much better! Ever since I started practicing the qigong you taught me, I can sleep soundly every night."

Bao Hongqiong looked at Lin Li with admiration and gratitude: "And I've already ordered the prosthetic leg, and I'm about to try it on."

"That's good."

Lin Li nodded and handed her a slip of paper: "This is a prescription that will help your meridians recover. After you put on the prosthesis, with this medicine, you should be able to walk like a normal person."
