Chapter 63: The Ultimate Goal

"Haha, what are you pretending to be this time? As if you could know Chairman Zhou of Liran Group." Wang Kuan couldn't help but burst into laughter, looking at Lin Feng with contempt and sneering, "Our Wang family has collaborated with Chairman Zhou for five years. Our relationship is extraordinary."

"You think making a fake phone call will make Chairman Zhou stop cooperating with us?"

"Just wait and see," Lin Feng replied with a mysterious smile and a nonchalant shrug.

Su Qingxue stood nearby, watching the spectacle unfold, covering her mouth as she laughed quietly. In her heart, she mused: who would have thought Lin Feng could be so ruthless, cutting off someone's livelihood so directly.

Wang Kuan, face twisted with anger, was about to continue mocking Lin Feng when suddenly his phone rang—it was his father, Wang Jiancheng.

"Hello, Dad? What's up? I just got off the plane and am having dinner with some friends—"

"To hell with your dinner! You idiot, get home right now! Who did you provoke out there? Liran Group just called and announced they're terminating all cooperation with us!"

The voice on the other end thundered so fiercely that Wang Kuan's ear hurt.

"What did you say?" Wang Kuan froze in place, utterly incredulous.

He thought his father must be joking, so he asked again for confirmation, only to find the news was real.

The Wang Group had just lost its biggest support. If Liran Group ceased cooperation, a chain of industries would collapse overnight.

What awaited the Wang family now was a mountain of debt—one that might never be overcome in their lifetime.

"Dad, I—"

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Wang Kuan collapsed onto the floor.

When the call ended and he came to his senses, he remembered Lin Feng's earlier phone call.

Staring in shock at Lin Feng, he asked with wide eyes, "Was it you just now—"

"That's right. Chairman Zhou is a close friend of mine. A single word from me and he will stop cooperating with you," Lin Feng replied calmly, his smile unwavering.

Su Qingxue watched her hypocritical old classmate from the side, wondering just how embarrassing a scene he could make in front of Lin Feng.

When she first saw Wang Kuan, she thought he was helping out of old friendship. But after learning his true intentions, her attitude changed immediately.

"Big brother, it's all my fault. Please, call Chairman Zhou again and ask him to continue working with us. I shouldn't have spoken ill of you—I was blind and foolish."

"From now on, whenever I see you, I'll treat you with respect. I won't dare show any disrespect again. Please, give me another chance."

"Sorry, it's too late," Lin Feng replied disdainfully. From the moment Wang Kuan started showing off, he should have guessed what his fate would be.

Anyone who offended Lin Feng would never have a good ending.

Even as Wang Kuan cried and begged for forgiveness, kneeling and knocking his head repeatedly on the floor, Lin Feng remained unmoved.

Lin Feng looked at him coldly and said, "From now on, don't let me see you again. Otherwise, I won't let you off. Get out."

Boom!

Wang Kuan was so frightened by Lin Feng's words that he sat up in shock once more.

He saw the flames of anger flickering in Lin Feng's eyes, as if he could kill someone. If he angered this big shot again, who knows what worse consequences might follow.

Without another word, Wang Kuan scrambled out of the office as fast as he could.

After he left, Su Qingxue glared angrily at the door and said, "Serves him right. That's what he gets for having wicked thoughts about me. It's karma."

"Qingxue, I'm sorry I was late and made you suffer," Lin Feng walked to her side, looking at her tenderly.

Her cheeks flushed instantly. She quickly shook her head shyly and said, "No, you came at just the right time. Thank you so much."

"By the way, about Grandma—"

"Don't worry, leave everything to me," Lin Feng replied, knowing she was still worried about the project loan. But this time, Lin Feng did not intend to help Su Qingxue directly with money.

He wanted Old Lady Su to pay a terrible price.

"Lin Feng, do you really have a way to help me? My bank has no money now. Even if you know Chairman Zhou, it might be hard to explain the project funds," Su Qingxue continued to worry, pouting as she asked Lin Feng.

"The money was stolen by Old Lady Su, not spent willingly by you. All we need to do is wait for the right moment. Once she makes her move, I can force her to cough up the money," Lin Feng said gently, brushing a strand of hair from her face.

"Huh? Is Grandma planning something else?" Su Qingxue was even more confused.

"Just wait and see. That old schemer came up with such a ruthless plan to deal with you—she definitely has a bigger goal."

After hearing Su Qingxue's story, Lin Feng had already guessed Old Lady Su's intention.

She had schemed to cheat both Su Bank and Liran Group out of their money—not just for her grandson, but more importantly, to seize Su Bank and drive Su Qingxue out of the Su family.

"Haha, Grandma, you're amazing! Lin Feng could never have guessed I'd return to the Su family. Living on that little island all this time was driving me crazy," said Su Shifeng at Old Lady Su's house, having been brought home by Liu Farong.

Though his legs were crippled, the rest of his injuries had healed, and he was lively once more.

Compared to his legs, he cared far more about seizing Su Bank and the family's assets.

He always knew Grandma would find a way to bring him back.

"Alright, your return this time is thanks to Su Qingxue's carelessness. Your name is already on the contract with Liran Group, and the project loan is now in your hands."

"This afternoon, take the money to Liran Group and tell them Su Qingxue misappropriated the funds without regard for the bigger picture—her conduct is unacceptable. Then, win over Chairman Zhou. I believe with this opportunity, Chairman Zhou will be deeply disappointed in Su Qingxue."

"Once she loses Chairman Zhou's trust, we can take the chance to cooperate with Liran Group, laying the groundwork for taking Su Bank in the future," Old Lady Su said earnestly.

"Brilliant! Grandma, your plan is genius. I admire you greatly!"

Su Shifeng's face lit up with joy. He sneered, then added, "Don't worry, Grandma. This time, I'll win over Liran Group in one stroke and won't let you down again."

"I'm heading out now to find Chairman Zhou and show my sincerity. I'll make sure Su Qingxue, that little wretch, is crushed beneath my feet."
