"Bai Yunfei’s third uncle, albeit being the vice president in name, is probably just a marginal figure, set up to show outsiders.
Now that the Bai Family has touched the core interests of the local forces, this person didn’t even have time to resist before being instantly defeated."
Lin Beichen gazed at the contents of the newspaper, thinking rapidly.
Regarding this third uncle, he actually didn’t know much. He only knew that after this person left the Bai Family years ago, if he hadn’t been helped by someone in the South, he would have been finished long ago.
Now, although he is being investigated, as long as Bai Yunfei hasn’t fallen, his situation is not particularly dangerous.
"Zhang Qingxian and Zhu Zhiyong at that time just wanted to give Bai Yunfei a warning and to force him to make concessions.
Now it seems that the Bai Family’s involvement has already touched the core interest layer, creating significant pressure on the local families in the South, making them change their strategy, intending to crush Bai Yunfei in one blow."
Thinking of this, Lin Beichen couldn’t help but frown.
He didn’t care about the turmoil in the business circle nor about who wins or loses in this commercial competition.
As long as these people didn’t get involved in his plans, he would let them mess around.
But if any one of them dared to step forward, he would strike them down hard.
Among the local aristocratic families in the South, Gao Yunsheng was the most important.
Gao Yunsheng was known as the new noble of the Cultivation Realm in the South. Not only did he possess cultivation talent, but he also held important positions in various major institutions.
If it were someone else, they might really need to be careful of him, but he was facing Lin Beichen.
Lin Beichen pondered for a moment, then made a phone call.
"Lin Beichen, don’t just daze out, tell us if you have any problems. Everyone can brainstorm and maybe come up with a solution."
Liu Yunxi approached Lin Beichen, quickly comforting him.
Although Lin Beichen didn’t say anything, everyone could tell that he had a very good relationship with the Bai Family. With Bai Yunfei hurt, Lin Beichen would definitely be implicated.
In the past, Lin Beichen, although seemingly inconspicuous, was after all a close friend of Bai Yunfei. Now that Bai Yunfei had fallen from grace, his status as a friend also seemed less important.
Chen Fangzhi stood nearby without speaking, but the concern in his eyes was undeniable.
They had all been friends in the same dormitory, and over time, they had developed some feelings for each other.
And Lin Beichen’s performance during this period, though not perfect, was at least someone worth befriending.
If he could help, he also wanted to help Lin Beichen and see if he could help him through this difficult time.
Lin Beichen came to his senses, looking at the anxious faces of everyone, he couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.
But his expression, in everyone’s eyes, became one of utter despair.
Besides sympathy, Liu Yunxi showed no other expression.
Wei Jingsong was concerned, and Chen Fangzhi wanted to step forward to comfort him.
Yu Mengjie had a bit of schadenfreude, Yan Fuya was full of sympathy, while Su Manni was a bit disappointed, as if she felt that the rich match she had finally found was suddenly lost, not knowing when she would find another.
Only Yuan Yanan looked at Lin Beichen calmly, neither disappointed nor sympathetic, just a faint emotional connection from beginning to end.
Lin Beichen smiled faintly.
Actually, he had long understood the temperaments of his dorm mates.
No matter how they reacted, he didn’t really care.
Among them, Chen Fangzhi’s family background was the most special. Lin Beichen believed that as long as he spoke up, Chen Fangzhi would definitely seek help from his family.
As for the girls, whether it was Yu Mengjie, Yan Fuya, or Su Manni’s tendencies to favor the rich and disdain the poor, Lin Beichen also saw it all, but didn’t care much.
Among these girls, few could share hardships, only enjoying wealth.
However, seeking benefits and avoiding harm is human nature, and he had no doubts about it.
"I am a bit upset, I will go back home for a while."
Lin Beichen said hurriedly, walking out.
Watching Lin Beichen’s back, the dormitory was suddenly filled with sighs.
Everyone looked at each other silently, not knowing how to speak. Finally, Yuan Yanan coughed, breaking the silence.
"My boyfriend has an appointment, I have to go. If there’s anything, call me."
"I also have class today, so I won’t stay here."
"I have plans with a few friends tonight, so I don’t have time today."
Liu Yunxi sighed.
Half of the people eventually left the room, leaving only three.
These three were precisely the three brothers of the dormitory.
"Good riddance, it’s better that they all leave. They never really respected Lin Beichen, they only cared about his money and the Bai Yunfei supporting him."
Wei Jingsong’s face suddenly showed a trace of anger. He slammed the table, nearly breaking the heavy wooden table.
The scene almost startled the other two.
Wei Jingsong was usually extremely docile and seldom showed such anger.
No one expected Wei Jingsong to have such strength.
"Wei Jingsong, don’t blame them, we were never truly friends.
Now that Lin Beichen is down, it is natural for them to stay away, after all, who can help him now?"
Chen Fangzhi said lightly.
Upon hearing this, Wei Jingsong’s face grew even darker. Liu Yunxi sat silently, drinking tea, neither talking nor consoling.
Chen Fangzhi didn’t let it go, looking at the empty corridor, Chen Fangzhi suddenly said:
"Liu Yunxi, do you really plan to marry that woman? Aren’t you afraid that if you ever fall into trouble, she would just leave you quietly?"
Liu Yunxi didn’t speak, but his face clearly changed, obviously having some opinions about those girls too.
The dormitory turbulence couldn’t be transmitted outside.
But the upheaval in Huadu drew everyone’s attention.
The Zhang Family’s thunderous actions and the rapid closure of the Bai Group in the South surprised everyone.
Zhang Songqiao managed to almost bring down the entire Bai Group in the South by merely leveraging an insider.
The ruthlessness of his tactics, the swift alliances, shocked everyone.
Before this, no one expected the Bai Group in the South to develop so quickly yet collapse just as swiftly.
Although Bai Yunfei hasn’t issued a bankruptcy announcement, it was evident to everyone that without any miracle, he couldn’t turn the situation around.
Bai Yunfei’s foundation in the South relied on his third uncle in the Huadu Management Association, but now his third uncle was out of contact, obviously detained for internal investigation.
This third uncle couldn’t even protect himself, who could protect Bai Yunfei?
"Bai Yunfei may be a rich young master in the North, but in the South, he had to look at others’ faces. This lesson also counts as a teaching for him."
Meanwhile, the Bai Family matters were far from over.
Bai Yunfei didn’t plan to seek Lin Beichen’s help, so the Bai Family members were still struggling desperately.
Some people, through internal connections, obtained a lot of secret information.
Zhang Qingxian’s reporting documents were just an excuse, his evidence didn’t matter.
Whether true or false, none of it reached the core of the Bai Market Group in the South.
After all, no matter how serious tax evasion is, as long as there is a sincere attitude to admit mistakes and a willingness to pay the owed taxes and fines, the impact wouldn’t be as severe.
But Zhang Songqiao employed a series of tactics, not intending to give the Bai Family any breathing space.
That evening, the Bai Family members gathered again at Bai Yunfei’s villa.
"Big brother, I’ve found some information, it’s said that the higher-ups in the Management Association have ordered not to release third uncle."
A cousin rushed to Bai Yunfei’s side, reporting cautiously.
Upon hearing this, everyone, already desperate, felt even more overshadowed by despair.
The turmoil in the South Bai Group was becoming increasingly uncontrollable.
Their ability to act was very limited.
If the higher management of the Association intervened, they wouldn’t have any chance to turn the tables.
