My mother-in-law is remarrying and wants my family's assets as dowry. Die!

Run away!

This was the first thought that naturally came to Fang Shu's mind.

The only way to leave this place is a narrow path, which has been blocked by fire trucks.

So escaping became a pipe dream, and Lin Jun and Fang Shu were obediently taken back to the fire station.

In the fire chief's office, the two of them received criticism and education.

Fang Shu quietly tugged at Lin Jun's sleeve and whispered, "Pretend to cry and play the victim!"

Lin Jun remained unmoved; he was a grown man who couldn't actually cry.

So Fang Shu pinched his thigh hard.

Lin Jun couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The fire chief was also amused by Fang Shu.

But they were criticized and educated for half an hour before being allowed to leave.

On her drive home, Fang Shu marveled at how the fire station knew about the fire so soon after it started. Technology is so advanced that even funerals can't be held smoothly.

Lin Jun remained silent.

Fang Shu stared at Lin Jing for a few seconds and asked, "Do you regret it now?"

Lin Jun shook his head and replied, "It's too embarrassing. I've never been to the police station before, not even once in my life."

"That's not a police station!" Fang Shu patted Lin Jun on the shoulder. "It's just a fire station!"

Lin Jun immediately perked up: "That's right, it's just a fire station!"

Fang Shu laughed and said, "Your mental state changes very quickly. I thought you were going to take your anger out on me?"

Lin Jun laughed heartily.

Fang Shu asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Lin Jun explained, "Why did you make me act cool and pitiful back then? Instead of you, you would have pinched my thigh until it was covered in bruises!"

Fang Shu explained with some guilt, "I did hit you a bit too hard back then, I'm sorry, I apologize to you here."

Just as Lin Jun was about to speak, Yan Ran called.

Lin Jun answered the call.

"President Lin, the people from Dongyuan Group have indeed contacted me!" Yan Ran reported. She dared not hide anything now, as Lin Jun had leverage over her, and she did not have the courage to gamble her freedom for the rest of her life.

Lin Jun simply replied, "Come to my office tomorrow to talk privately."

Then, Lin Jun ended the call.

Fang Shu teased, "The young lady's voice was quite pleasant just now."

Lin Jun shook his head: "What 'Miss'? She's at least six years older than you!"

Fang Shu grinned mischievously, "You're so concerned about someone's age, do you mean you've had feelings for them for a while now?"

Lin Jun glanced at Fang Shu: "She's just my secretary, but she's not very loyal. She was bribed to betray me. Now she seems very obedient, but that's only because I have dirt on her and can easily send her to prison."

Fang Shu clicked her tongue in disapproval after hearing this: "Looks like your charm isn't up to par; you can't even seduce your own secretary!"

Lin Jun was genuinely embarrassed; being betrayed by his secretary was indeed a shameful thing to say.

Fang Shu reached out and patted Lin Jun on the shoulder: "Just kidding. For example, even my own parents could abandon me, so love is even more unreliable!"

Lin Jun explained, "My relationship with my secretary is a normal working relationship; there has never been any overstepping of boundaries!"

Fang Shu laughed and said, "You don't need to be in such a hurry to explain. I can guarantee that your secretary must have once admired or even loved you!"

Lin Jun remained silent.

Fang Shu suddenly sighed, "Do you think there's any kind of feeling in this world that never changes?"

Lin Jun laughed and said, "You don't need to be so pessimistic. Just because we haven't encountered it doesn't mean it doesn't exist!"

Fang Shu burst into laughter: "I love your optimism! Chatting with you has really lifted my spirits!"

Back home, Fang Shu chose to stay in the guest room.

Early the next morning.

Fang Shu and Lin Jun went to the hospital for IV infusions first, and then Lin Jun went to the company office.

Yan Ran was already waiting for Lin Jun.

Upon entering the office, Yan Ran closed the door and began her report.

People from Dongyuan Group contacted her last night, also wanting to buy information from her, and the promised price was far higher than Ding Yuxin's.

Yan Ran asked for instructions on what to do.

Lin Jun calmly instructed, "You can make as much money as you want from Dongyuan Group, no matter how much you earn, it's all yours!"

Yan Ran's eyes lit up with undisguised joy upon hearing this.

Lin Jun tapped the desk surface lightly with his finger: "You can even ask for an exorbitant price!"

Yan Ran replied, "I will follow General Manager Lin's orders in everything."

Lin Jun instructed: "The first message you send to Dongyuan Group is that I am extremely angry with Yu Qingqiu and Li Dong. I've determined that Li Dong has set up a scam targeting Yu Qingqiu. Once he gets my shares, Li Dong will disappear! Therefore, I will do everything in my power to prevent the shares from being transferred to Yu Qingqiu and Li Dong, unless they get married, go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate, and hold a grand wedding!"

Yan Ran was completely confused: "President Lin, why are you so concerned about their marriage?"

Lin Jun laughed, "This is my revenge. I want to make sure Li Dong and Yu Qingqiu are forever locked together! Only in this way can I feel the anger in my heart. They stole my family property, and I will ruin their lives. I don't believe they can truly love each other, so I will make them torment each other for the rest of their lives!"

Yan Ran asked, "Should we also tell the people at Dongyuan Group about this?"

Lin Jun nodded: "Tell me everything!"

Yan Ran nodded: "Is there anything else you need, Mr. Lin?"

Lin Jun waved for Yan Ran to leave, judging that Zhu Dongyuan would definitely ask Li Dong and Yu Qingqiu to get married as soon as possible.

Since he wasn't marrying Zhu Dongyuan, he had no concerns whatsoever.

Yan Ran returned to her office and quickly relayed the message: the asking price was 800,000, and the other party transferred the money without hesitation.

Yu Qingqiu was sitting in front of the dressing table, carefully getting ready. She and Li Dong had been up almost all night, so she looked a little tired.

She couldn't help but sigh inwardly that she was getting older and couldn't take any more risks.

Li Dong was preparing a loving breakfast for Yu Qingqiu in the kitchen when he actually received a call from Zhu Dongyuan.

Zhu Dongyuan urged Li Dong and Yu Qingqiu to get married as soon as possible, get their marriage certificate first, and then hold a grand wedding.

Li Dong, of course, refused. He tried every possible excuse to delay Yu Qingqiu's request to register their marriage.

Otherwise, how will I be able to get out of this situation smoothly in the future?

Zhu Dongyuan gave him a final ultimatum: "Li Dong, according to my latest intelligence, Lin Jun already knows you're deceiving Yu Qingqiu. He wants revenge. He'll only transfer the shares smoothly if you and Yu Qingqiu get married. Otherwise, you won't get that 30% stake, meaning you'll never get that 100 million! So, whether you want to get married to Yu Qingqiu and have a grand wedding is up to you! Of course, if you refuse, our cooperation will end immediately, and I'll find another way to get that 30% stake!"
