Chapter 304
The moment Qin Shi appeared, the air in the room seemed to freeze.
"Father, it seems we're thinking the same thing."
Qin Shi's voice was deep and powerful, with a hint of sarcasm.
His gaze swept between Shen Yunzhong and Liu Jinnian, and he suddenly had an absurd feeling that the way the two of them stood together looked more like father and son than he did.
Shen Yunzhong's face was ashen, and his fingers unconsciously tightened around the edge of the file folder.
"Qin Dynasty!"
Shen Yunzhong slammed the file on the table, his voice trembling with anger.
"You actually dared to collaborate with Hurricane Capital without the board's knowledge?"
Qin Shi's lips curled slightly.
"You seem to have forgotten something."
His fingertip tapped on the document.
"Qinqi was originally my personal asset. My grandfather has already transferred all the shares to my name, and I have completed the privatization process. The remaining shares have nothing to do with the parent company."
Liu Jinnian's pupils suddenly contracted.
"in other words,"
Qin Shi continued, his gaze fixed on Shen Yunzhong.
"I'm open to collaborating with anyone. Since that's the case, why not find someone I know?"
He turned to Zhao Nan, and the two exchanged a knowing glance.
Zhao Nan pushed up his glasses, a hint of amusement in his eyes behind the lenses.
"Mr. Shen, I regret to inform you that Hurricane Capital has decided to support Mr. Qin and Ms. Yan."
Shen Yunzhong's face turned from pale to ashen, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
Liu Jinnian pursed his lips, his gaze behind his gold-rimmed glasses flickering uncertainly, as if he were lost in thought.
"You really want to kick me out of the board, all for that woman? You're even disregarding our father-son relationship."
Shen Yunzhong's voice was hoarse.
"Do you know that with her current shareholding and the support of Hurricane Capital, the Qin family could very well change hands with just a word!"
Qin Shi's eyes turned cold.
"Yan Lan is not you."
These five simple words felt like a slap in the face to Shen Yunzhong.
"Is such a vain woman worthy of your trust?"
Shen Yunzhong sneered.
Qin Shi did not answer immediately, but instead slowly adjusted his cuffs.
When he looked up again, the coldness in his eyes made Shen Yunzhong unconsciously take a half step back.
"I believe her."
These three words were spoken with resounding force, and Liu Jinnian's hand clenched tightly, her nails digging deeply into her palm.
He saw a kind of determination in Qin Shi's eyes. Why would a man be so determined for a woman? There was only one possibility.
He loves Yan Lan.
Qin Shi loves Yan Lan.
That's why he was willing to do anything, even go against his own father, to support Yan Lan.
Shen Yunzhong could no longer utter a word. He strode out of the office without looking back.
Liu Jinnian followed them out.
"Outrageous! That unfilial son!"
In the underground parking lot, Shen Yunzhong's roar echoed in the empty space.
He loosened his tie, crumpling the expensive silk tie into a ball.
Liu Jinnian followed silently behind.
"Father, we haven't lost yet."
He suddenly spoke, his voice low and calm, "Hasn't Hurricane Capital not yet signed a contract with Qin Motors?"
Shen Yunzhong turned around abruptly, "What do you mean?"
Liu Jinnian pushed up his glasses; the lenses reflected a cold light, concealing the calculation in his eyes.
"Before I came here, I had already sent the core technical data of Qin Motors to Diqi Motors."
"What?!" Shen Yunzhong's eyes widened in shock. "Are you crazy? That's a trade secret!"
Liu Jinnian's lips curled into a cold smile. "Emperor Auto has already agreed to give me 10% of the shares as a reward."
He took out his phone, and the screen prominently displayed a push notification for financial news—
"Emperor Motors launches its latest electric vehicle, boasting world-class performance."
The accompanying image features a concept car that is almost identical to the design drawings of Qin Auto, with only minor modifications.
"you!"
Shen Yunzhong trembled with rage, "You're going to ruin Qinqi!"
Liu Jinnian calmly put away his phone. "No, I'm going to create a business empire even more powerful than Qin Qi."
His voice carried a hint of obsession, "I want to prove that I'm stronger than Qin Shi. I need to have the ability to stand up to him."
Liu Jinnian knew very well that, after observing Qin Shi for some time, he had discovered that Qin Shi was not the good-for-nothing his father had described.
That man was like a cobra lurking in the shadows; if you weren't careful, he would bite you until you were covered in wounds.
Since he could no longer rely on his father, he had to find a new patron...
The garden of Yunhu Villa was bathed in golden afterglow. Yan Lan had just returned from a walk with Madam Qin when her phone started vibrating incessantly.
She swiped the screen, and immediately a dozen unread messages and several missed calls from Situ Qing popped up.
"What's wrong?" Madam Qin asked with concern.
Yan Lan clicked on the latest financial news link, and her breathing became heavier.
"Emperor's new car challenges Qin's model; core technology suspected to have been mastered."
The accompanying image shows that the new car released by Diqi is almost identical to the confidential design drawings of Qinqi!
Yan Lan immediately dialed Qin Shi's number.
Did you see the news?
On the other end of the phone, Qin Shi's voice was unusually calm, "I just saw it. I'm on my way to Qin Auto."
"Is it Shen Yunzhong?" Yan Lan asked sharply. Apart from him and Qinqi's core team, no one else could access such core documents.
Qin Shi's voice was filled with suppressed anger, "He's trying to ruin Qin Auto. I originally wanted to cooperate with Hurricane Capital to fight against Grandma, but the cooperation plan has been forced to terminate."
Yan Lan took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
She looked out the window; the last rays of the setting sun were being swallowed by darkness.
"I won't be going back to the villa for the next few days."
Please keep an eye on Mom's situation for now.
I need to have a meeting with Qin Motors' technical team.
"Qin Shi, I can help."
Yan Lan knew that although the technical team in the early stages was top-notch in China, it was not the same as Diqi.
The photo of Diqi was clearly taken by a master; the other party must have hired a top-notch expert from abroad.
In a short period of time, Qinqi will not be able to develop a new car that is more advanced than its competitors.
However, if Qinqi cannot develop new cars, some of the auto parts it has already produced will become unusable, which will greatly affect Qinqi's sales and could potentially lead to bankruptcy.
"Yan Lan, I'll think of a way."
Qin Shi said in a deep voice, "Yan Lan is already more than five months pregnant. She shouldn't be allowed to travel too much, and she shouldn't be allowed to stay up late with the technical team."
Before Yan Lan could object, Qin Shi hung up the phone.
Yan Lan held her phone, lost in thought.
Just then, a new email arrived.
Yan Lan opened the email; it was from the X Research Institute.
"DNA testing results..."
Upon seeing the filename, Yan Lan quickly opened it.
That was something she had specially sent to the X Research Institute; it was genetic testing data related to Shen Yunzhong and Liu Jinnian, the siblings.
