Zhang Changhuai was still suspicious in his heart, but he didn’t expect his father to suddenly cry out.
"Where did you get this information?"
Zhang Songqiao exclaimed, his voice unusually loud.
"Father, what’s wrong with this information?"
Zhang Changhuai was slightly stunned and hurriedly said:
"This person is a friend of Meixiang. They’ve been very close recently, so I felt something was off and asked someone to investigate."
At this point, he hesitated slightly and asked with some doubt:
"Could it be that he is the one manipulating everything from behind the scenes? Did he orchestrate the Mingzhu Port incident to warn us and force me to stay away from Meixiang?"
"But is he capable of that on his own? He’s just an ordinary person. Even if he has some connection with Bai Yunfei, it’s unlikely the Bai Family would support him wholeheartedly unless the Zhou Family was involved..."
"Don’t say anything yet; let me think carefully."
Zhang Songqiao picked up the document, his face full of frustration.
He stared intensely at the photo of Lin Beichen in the document, his face alternately darkening and brightening.
"There’s something wrong with this information. It stops short whenever it comes to the real secrets. What could your underling find out?"
"Who exactly is this Lin Beichen?"
Zhang Changhuai was astonished.
This matter was becoming more and more beyond his expectations, increasingly perplexing him.
Zhang Songqiao didn’t speak. Instead, he took out his phone and made a call. Less than a minute later, he received a message.
Silently reading the message, Zhang Songqiao’s face suddenly froze, and he let out a long sigh:
"So he is that Mr. Lin."
"Mr. Lin? Father, who exactly are you talking about?"
"Who else besides him could be represented by Mr. Lin?"
Zhang Songqiao looked at Zhang Changhuai meaningfully.
Zhang Changhuai was slightly taken aback, as if he had suddenly thought of something. His face changed dramatically.
Although he had some cunning at this moment, he was still far from being as calm as his father. He was merely a fledgling student, not yet able to face earth-shattering events without flinching.
This suddenly appearing Mr. Lin was extremely unusual!
A background so deep it was despairing, wisdom that left people in awe, business acumen so sharp it was unimaginable, and various patented technologies beyond belief.
In the past year, whether in technology, business, or any other field, a single name had taken over everything.
For most people, they only knew this person was referred to as Mr. Lin.
They knew nothing else but that whenever this person appeared, he would bring about massive upheaval in the industry.
Ordinary technological research, no matter how groundbreaking or sensational, often took years to bear fruit, even so-called disruptive technologies.
But Mr. Lin was different. Every achievement he unveiled was immediately embraced by the nation as soon as it was released.
Initially, outsiders speculated that Mr. Lin was just a codename for a virtual release platform compiled by numerous state-run research labs, as there was no other way to explain such feats.
Zhang Changhuai first heard of Mr. Lin three months ago.
Three months ago, a drilling platform accident injured over 60 people simultaneously, with grave injuries threatening to turn the incident into a disaster. At that critical moment, a doctor approached Zhang Changhuai and introduced a medication.
Having no other options, Zhang Changhuai desperately gambled on the medicine, and to his astonishment, the injuries of over 60 workers were stabilized.
According to later medical reports, those 60-plus people were on the brink of death, and the medical team could only save four people at most without the medicine.
The medication the doctor provided delayed the critical injuries, buying precious time for everyone.
Afterwards, Zhang Changhuai received official commendations.
Workplace accidents can happen anytime, but the ability to conduct effective rescue operations and ensure no casualties after an accident is rare.
This incident became well-known not only in the medical community but also in the business world, lauded as a miracle.
Outsiders praised Zhang Changhuai’s composure and leadership, but he knew without that doctor’s elixir, no matter how many deities he prayed to, it wouldn’t have mattered.
Later, he treated the doctor to a meal and learned the name "Mr. Lin" from him.
This was the first time outside of business reports that Zhang Changhuai realized what the name "Mr. Lin" represented.
"Father, are you saying...this Mr. Lin is Lin Beichen?"
Zhang Changhuai’s whole body trembled, his eyes filled with fear.
Among the new generation of heirs in the South, he was already outstanding.
But he deeply understood that he was no match for Lin Beichen.
Lin Beichen could be considered his father’s peer, even slightly outshining him.
"Correct."
Zhang Songqiao, though internally shocked, remained calm on the surface.
"Now everything makes sense. The Bai Family wouldn’t oppose us for no reason, but Mr. Lin is different!
Young and passionate, making an impulsive move for a beautiful woman is understandable."
Zhang Songqiao knew his son’s circumstances but didn’t interfere. Instead, he enjoyed the development.
Luo Meixiang and Zhang Changhuai were well-matched in social status. If they could connect, it would not only allow his son to gain love but also enable him to extend his influence through Luo Meixiang’s family to the North.
Bridging the North and South is every powerful family’s dream.
