The next day, the A-share stock index continued to fall, and the share price of Dongsheng Group was blocked at the limit price by the selling of more than 10 million shares within eight minutes of the opening. The continuous decline has led to heavy losses for retail investors, who are either deeply trapped and watching the sharp shrinkage of their book funds, or taking advantage of leverage to trigger liquidation and lose their capital.

The abnormal fluctuation of stock prices has long attracted the attention of the securities regulatory agencies. Although Dongsheng once announced that "under the influence of the macroeconomic recession and the stock market crash, some controlling shareholders reduced their holdings of shares and caused the stock price to fall", but such reasons are becoming more and more untenable. At noon, there was breaking news that the securities regulatory agency would intervene in the investigation.

Lin Wei had already packed her bags when she saw the breaking news, and it was 14 o'clock, which corresponds to 8 o'clock in the morning in Frankfurt. And tomorrow at 14 o'clock will be the time when she will fly to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

She walked around the living room with her arms crossed, tried to dial Xiao Huai's phone several times but gave up, finally took a deep breath and made up her mind to leave the house and go to Dongsheng.

Now that is different from the past, many angry shareholders gathered in the company park and put up banners in protest, and Lin Pi asked the taxi driver to detour and stop at the back door.

She explained her intention to the reception staff at the front desk, but the other party said that the chairman would not be a guest. She had no choice but to dial Ji Yunchong's mobile phone: "Are you convenient now?" I want to meet you. ”

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a minute or two, and then the words rang out without emotion: "If you just want to see how my old flame was defeated by your current boyfriend, you still don't have to." ”

"I'm going to Vietnam tomorrow, and I'm here to say goodbye to you. If we don't see each other today, we may not see each other again in the future. ”

There was silence again, and after a while a voice came, "Come up." ”

Lin Li took the elevator directly to Ji Yunchong's office. In the highly confidential office area, there is a row of Chinese-style bookshelves against the wall, on which are several photos, which are Ji Yunchong and his parents, which were taken 12 years ago and 12 years later, as well as the "family portrait" of the two families at the engagement banquet.

Lin Li retracted his gaze and looked at Ji Yunchong.

He sat in a leather chair with his face to her, staring quietly out the window at the tall buildings.

She followed his gaze to the outside world. The city is surrounded by steel and concrete, and the open view is divided by similar buildings, which makes people feel a little lost and doubtful in this prosperous era.

"Gu Wei is an ant, but he seeks his own nest." Ji Yunchong spoke in a low voice, with a cold texture in his voice, "When I was a child, my Chinese teacher asked us to memorize Du Fu's poems, and I always felt that these two sentences were written very sourly. The cunning rabbit needs three holes, not to mention the ants need one hole? Why look down on those ant-like villains and laugh at them for having to go to the bottom of their ropes in order to make a comfortable living? ”

Lin Li thought for a while: "No wonder you often answer the ancient poetry analysis questions incorrectly, it turns out that you drilled the horns of the bull when you were a child." ”

Ji Yunchong seemed to hook the corners of his mouth, and turned his face to look at Lin Fei: "Sit." ”

Lin Li pulled out a chair and sat across from him across the desk.

He looked at her, and his tone was as light as water: "I heard that you had a car accident?" ”

"Hmm."

"Will the removal of the spleen affect my daily life?"

"Immunity will decrease and metabolism will slow down, but it's good to pay attention to rest."

"Vietnam is not as bad as here, the conditions are harsh, how can you rest well?"

Lin Li smiled lightly: "The place where I am helping the doctor is a county under the jurisdiction of Ho Chi Minh City, with a total population of less than one million, and the number of patients is much less than here, so I shouldn't be too tired." ”

Ji Yunchong looked at her smile and was distracted for a moment.

He looked at the wall clock on the wall, flipped through the papers on the desk, took a pen and lowered his head to write: "I still have some work to deal with, you can go." ”

Lin Li didn't get up, there was a hint of hesitation on his face, and when he spoke again, his tone was relatively low: "Dongsheng's stock price has fallen very much, what are you going to do?" ”

He didn't raise his head, and coldly threw four words to her: "It has nothing to do with you." ”

"But you did something illegal, in case you are found out by the securities regulatory agency-"

"You don't have to bother. When Xiao Huai, along with the big investment banks and hedge funds, made a series of retaliatory moves against Dongsheng, you never expressed concern. Now that I'm going to lose, you've come to me to show hypocritical mercy? ”

Lin Li looked at Ji Yunchong, and his tone was very complicated: "Whether I am a hypocrite or not is not important at this juncture, the important thing is that you should restrain yourself from the precipice and not make mistakes again and again." ”

Ji Yunchong was silent for a second or two, then put down the pen in his hand: "In your opinion, I am to blame for all mistakes?" ”

"That's not what I meant......"

"What happened two years ago was more complicated than you know. The bastards who killed my father and kidnapped my mother were so shameless that they demanded that I not only hand over the audio evidence, but also that I prepare a huge sum of money to ransom me. At that time, I was still going through the judicial process, and I had not substantially inherited my father's equity, so how could I raise a huge amount of money? ”

Faced with the late truth, Lin Li was stunned.

"I was cornered, and in desperation, I decided to use the only shares in my hand to apply for equity pledge financing from the bank. Do you know how ruthless the bankers who dealt with my father all the time, Lin Li, have become? They used the excuse that Dongsheng's restructuring failed, and the stock price fell, depressed the pledge rate, and raised the interest rate. I borrowed only one-fifth of the market value of cash with a market value of tens of millions of shares, but I had to pay extremely high interest to redeem the shares. ”

When Ji Yunchong said this, he leaned over slightly, and looked at her at eye level: "When I finally rescued my mother, my mother was crazy, and I was also exhausted." On the one hand, I lost my original shares, and on the other hand, I was unable to inherit my father's shares, and when I was about to be kicked out of Dongsheng, someone asked me if I would like to cooperate deeply with him to bring Dongsheng back to life. ”

Lin Li understood everything, his whole heart suddenly became uncomfortable, his throat was also blocked by bitter emotions, and he finally squeezed out a sentence: "Why don't you refuse?" ”

"You think I don't want to? If there is a better choice, why don't I be an upright person, but I want to play a business situation and speculate? Ji Yunchong smiled bitterly, and his deep voice revealed an indescribable sadness, "I need funds, I need huge funds." Only in this way can my father's hard work continue, that I can live, and that my mother, who is recuperating in an insane asylum, can live with dignity. Lin Li, money is not everything, but without money, everything is impossible. ”

Lin Li was speechless, biting his lip lightly, and suffocating the sourness in his eyes with difficulty.

There are still some things that Ji Yunchong didn't say, and he didn't plan to say them anymore - he didn't want to leave her at that time, but no, he was doing something illegal. In case of speculation, she will definitely be implicated.

Lin Li didn't know what he was thinking, sniffed, and slowed down his tone: "I understand that you have a last resort. The past can't be traced, and it's too late for you to stop now. ”

Ji Yunchong didn't hesitate: "Impossible." My father's revenge has not yet been avenged, and if I admit to the outside world everything I have done at this time, my two years of hard work will be in vain. Lin Li, do you want me to be locked up in prison and watch those bastards get away with it? ”

"What can you do if you don't stop? Xiao Huai told me that your fate would be bleak, but I didn't want you to fall into a miserable situation. ”

Ji Yunchong was silent for a moment.

His gaze wandered on Lin Li's face, and at the end, he looked at the clock on the wall, and a disapproving smile curled into the corner of his lips: "Xiao Huai is scaring you." Who I am, I naturally have a way to get out of it. ”

Lin Li was stunned.

His expression returned to his initial calm: "Okay, you have delayed my work for more than half an hour, you can go." ”

Lin Li opened his mouth slightly, and Ji Yunchong frowned impatiently: "I used to want you to stay, but you refused to stay." Now I want you to go, but you won't go. Is it that Xiao Huai is not around, you feel lonely, and you want to have something to do with me? ”

Lin Li was very uncomfortable with his sarcasm, got up and walked out.

She turned her back to him, and with each step forward, scenes from the past came to mind.

When she was eight years old, he secretly stuffed a box of crystal clear candy into her school bag, causing her to write a full year of penance.

At the age of fifteen, she stood at the bulletin window on the middle school campus to check the placement roster, and when she turned her head, she saw him standing next to her. At that time, when she was young, the flowers were laughing, the birds were chirping, and his innocent face was printed on the glass window, and she was stunned for a moment. Unaware of it, his eyes wandered over the roster, and when he saw his name and hers listed together, he raised his eyebrows and smiled at her with pleasure, and she turned her face away, and the roots of her ears reddened slightly.

When he was older, he became her tablemate, bringing breakfast every day, sending her home rain or shine, and confessing to her in the wind.

Time flies, and he is about to study in Germany. When saying goodbye at the airport, he actually shed tears before her, and swore that he would marry her when he returned from school. At that time, she complained with red eyes: "Your mother doesn't like me, how can I marry you?" ”

He kissed her teary eyes and said, "My dad likes you very much, don't worry, you will definitely become his daughter-in-law." ”

The long eight years don't seem to have wiped out love, but it seems to have wiped out anything other than love.

Lin Li stopped and glanced back at Ji Yunchong.

He is still the one in memory, handsome and good-looking. However, he is not the person in her memory, and her clear facial features have a lingering alienation and coldness, which makes her feel extremely strange.

The time gap that can't be crossed has made the two drift apart, and they can never go back to the beginning.

Lin Li's eyes were red, and there were faint tears flashing: "I don't know why, I always felt that you were in so much trouble at that time but refused to reveal anything and pushed me away, as if subconsciously decided that we can only share joy and not weal and woe." ”

Ji Yunchong's hand trembled, and he slowly raised his head, and there was emotion surging in his dark eyes, and then he calmed down.

"If you can really get out of it this time, I sincerely hope that you will not use illegal means to take revenge again. Although you have lost your father, you still have your mother. For her sake, you should value yourself. ”

Ji Yunchong didn't say a word, but his face was a little pale.

She bowed her head and spat out her final words: "Goodbye." ”

As the words fell, she turned and walked out of the office, tears streaming out of her eyes at the same time.

The elevator door opened and closed, and she pressed down on the first floor, closing her eyes and leaning against the wall wearily. When she got out of Dongsheng's office building, she reached out for a taxi and found that her handbag was left in the office and she didn't take it, so she had to turn it back.

There was no Ji Yunchong in the office. Lin Li picked up the small bag he carried from the leather chair, looked up, and looked at the documents on the desk, which also contained the pen used by Ji Yunchong.

Lin Li hesitated, but still opened it.

What caught his eye was Ji Yunchong's handwriting, densely packed, and the more Lin Li looked at it, the more frightened he became. When she saw the last paragraph, her face changed drastically, and she put down the file and went straight to the top floor.

Ji Yunchong stood on the rooftop of the top floor, looking up at the sky, looking unfazed, and half a meter past his feet was high in the sky.

Hearing the sound of high heels hitting the ground, he was stunned and slowly turned his face sideways.

"Ji Yunchong! Is this what you call a total retreat? Lin Li hurriedly called him, his voice was unusually tight, "Expose the cause of your father's death and the pain you have suffered to the outside world, and then jump down from here, and use death to frame the top management of the Chinese and Western pharmaceutical industry, hoping that the Securities Regulatory Commission will find that the market value of the Chinese and Western pharmaceutical industry is also fraudulent?" ”

She was very angry, and she was red from her face to her neck, but she knew that he was really here this time, so she didn't dare to move forward rashly, and persuaded her on the spot: "You have many ways to live, why choose a dead end?" ”

Ji Yunchong looked at her for a while, turned his face away and exhaled lightly, and his voice gradually deepened: "Lin Li, you better go." 166 Reading Network
