You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Beijing International Financial Center, Yip's Group headquarters, top floor conference room number one.

The conference room door was pushed open, and Song Qingyun, dressed in a suit and tie, walked in with his large legal and financial team.

At this moment, Song Qingyun's face no longer showed the same grief and despair he had displayed at the press conference that morning.

He had his hair slicked back, his face was ruddy, and he walked with a powerful stride, his eyes revealing an undisguised sense of pride.

At the other end of the conference table, Ye Qingcheng, dressed in a wine-red haute couture business suit, looked like a queen, cold and domineering.

Lin Chen, dressed in a sharp black suit with a "Special Security Advisor" badge on his chest, stood expressionless behind Ye Qingcheng.

[Mastering God-Level Actuarial Skills, now unlocked!]

[Crime Radar activated!]

In Lin Chen's view, Song Qingyun's entire body was flushed red, which meant that he was burdened with extremely heavy sins.

"Mr. Ye, I've heard so much about you."

Song Qingyun stepped forward, smiling and extending his hand. "President Ye is truly young and promising. Under your leadership, the Ye Group is thriving."

Ye Qingcheng didn't even stand up; she simply nodded slightly, completely ignoring his outstretched hand.

"Mr. Song, you're too kind. Everyone's time is precious, so let's get straight to the point."

Song Qingyun's hand awkwardly froze in mid-air, but he didn't react. Instead, he withdrew his hand and pulled out a chair to sit down.

He sneered inwardly: What's with this little brat's arrogance? Once I get my hands on that top-tier biological lab under your control and purify the latest batch of "Bliss," my assets will increase tenfold! Then I'll swallow your Ye Group whole!

Song Qingyun snapped his fingers, and the lawyer behind him immediately handed him a thick contract.

"Mr. Ye, this is the acquisition agreement we have drafted. It's a one-time cash payment of 3 billion yuan to acquire the 'Bluestar Biopharmaceutical Laboratory' and all its affiliated equipment under the Ye Group."

Song Qingyun leaned back in his chair, his tone carrying a hint of condescension: "Thirty billion in cash flow should be a very much-needed deal for the Ye family right now, shouldn't it?"

Ye Qingcheng opened the contract, deliberately revealing a hint of hesitation and struggle on her beautiful face.

"Three billion...isn't that a bit low? Our equipment is the most advanced in the world."

Seeing Ye Qingcheng's reaction, Song Qingyun was overjoyed.

He knew he had made the right bet! The Ye family was expanding recently and was extremely short of cash flow.

"Mr. Ye, you have to be flexible in business," Song Qingyun advised patiently. "Thirty billion in cash—right now, looking across the entire capital, besides my Qingyun Group, who can come up with that amount in a single day?"

Ye Qingcheng bit her red lips, seemingly having made an extremely difficult decision.

"Okay, three billion, I'll sign."

She picked up her pen, quickly signed her name at the end of the contract, and then stamped it with the official seal of the Ye Group.

"happy!"

Song Qingyun slapped his thigh suddenly, his eyes bursting with wild joy.

He immediately turned to his CFO and yelled, "Notify the bank immediately to transfer three billion to the Ye family's corporate account!"

Less than three minutes.

A notification sound popped up on Ye Qingcheng's tablet computer.

"Thirty billion has been received." Ye Qingcheng picked up the coffee on the table and took an elegant sip.

"Hahaha! It's a pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Ye!"

Song Qingyun stood up, trembling with excitement. With this laboratory, he could immediately restart production, fill the funding gap, and even take things to the next level!

However, just as he was preparing to leave with the contract...

Lin Chen, who had been standing behind Ye Qingcheng like an invisible man, suddenly took a step forward.

His fingers gently tapped the Enter key on the miniature computer keyboard he carried with him.

"drop--"

A faint electronic sound rang out.

The Trojan program that Lin Chen had implanted in the underlying system of the "Blue Star Biological Laboratory" three days in advance instantly went into full swing!

At the exact same second, Song Qingyun's phone, that of the financial director, suddenly started vibrating frantically, as if it were a death knell.

The CFO answered the phone, but after only five seconds, he was completely stunned, his face turning deathly pale. He couldn't even hold his phone properly, and it fell to the ground with a thud.

"What's going on? What kind of panicked behavior is this!" Song Qingyun frowned and scolded unhappily.

"Chairman Song... Chairman Song..."

The CFO's legs went weak, and he almost cried out, "Something terrible has happened!"

"The people we just sent to take over the lab called and said...that the lab's core patents and all its imported equipment were mortgaged by the Ye Group to a Swiss bank three days ago!"

"boom!"

These words were like a nuclear bomb, exploding directly in Song Qingyun's mind!

The CFO clutched his hair in despair: "We...we spent three billion, and what we bought wasn't a top-notch laboratory at all, but an empty shell that had already been hollowed out!"

"Not only that, because we fully acquired this company, now... now that defaulted mortgage debt of up to 10 billion has automatically been transferred to our Qingyun Group!"

The entire room fell silent!

The people Song Qingyun brought were all trembling with fear, not daring to breathe.

The smugness, arrogance, and hypocrisy on Song Qingyun's face shattered into dust in that instant!

His eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his neck bulged. He suddenly turned his head and stared intently at Ye Qingcheng, like a wild beast driven to the brink of despair.

"Ye Qingcheng! You dare to play me?!"

Ye Qingcheng put down her coffee cup, a chilling sneer curving her red lips.

"Chairman Song, what do you mean by that? The business world is like a battlefield."

Ye Qingcheng exuded an aura of authority, "You use fake charity to swindle ordinary people out of their hard-earned money, and I'll use a shell laboratory with billions in debt to swindle you out of 3 billion. Isn't that fair?"

"puff--"

Song Qingyun's chest heaved violently with anger, and a mouthful of blood welled up in his throat, which he swallowed down.

Lin Chen, with his hands in his pockets, slowly walked up to Song Qingyun and looked down at him.

"Chairman Song, don't get so agitated."

Lin Chen added smugly, "Thanks for your 3 billion 'charitable donation.' Don't worry, I'll use that money to get the guys at the Beijing Police Department a new batch of state-of-the-art weaponry."

"When they arrest you, the bullets in the gun will definitely not jam."
