After leaving the Ye family, Song Qingquan launched an investigation.
The Wu family indeed had powerful backing; otherwise, with their strength, they wouldn't dare to continue causing trouble.
"Beep beep!"
Song Qingquan dialed his eldest brother's number.
Song Shize's voice came from the other end of the line: "Third brother, Dad was just talking about you. You called just in time. Come back and visit more often when you have time."
Song Qingquan: "Big brother, I have something I need your help with."
"What's with the 'need your help'? Just say it."
Song Qingquan: "Big brother, do you know the Wu family? The Wu family whose patriarch is Wu Yangcheng."
Song Shize paused.
"The Wu family's assets should be around six or seven billion. They're a well-known family. Of course, I know the Wu family. What's wrong?"
Song Qingquan said, "Big brother, with our Song family's strength, can we target the Wu family? I want to target the Wu family."
Song Shize: "..."
"Why?"
"Someone can help Wan'er. They have a grudge against the Wu family—"
Song Qingquan explained the situation in detail.
Including the fact that the Wu family has powerful forces supporting them.
"Third brother, you're in the Magic City, right?"
"I'm going to the Magic City anyway. Let's meet and talk."
Song Shize said after a moment of silence.
"Okay, big brother."
Several hours passed, and Song Shize arrived at Song Qingquan's location.
"Big brother, I need your help."
"If it's just targeting the Wu family, perhaps I can handle it myself, but the Wu family has a powerful force behind them."
The two went to the study, and Song Qingquan pleaded.
Song Shize gave Song Qingquan a cigarette, lit one for himself, and took a puff. "Third brother, the powerful force behind the Wu family is our Song family!"
"Ah?"
Song Qingquan was dumbfounded.
Good heavens, the mastermind was actually his own family.
This was truly stimulating!
"Big brother, why are we helping the Wu family?"
Song Shize said, "The reasons are a bit complicated. You've always ignored these messy things, so don't ask."
"Can you put pressure on them to let Lin Chen help Wan'er?"
Song Qingquan quickly said, "Absolutely not. Although our Song family's strength is very strong, Lin Chen's abilities are extremely powerful. His future connections will be terrifying."
"This kind of person is only suitable to be a friend. If he becomes an enemy, we will definitely have big trouble in the future."
Song Shize pondered.
After a long while, he said, "Third brother, helping the Wu family is actually your second brother's doing. Someone from your second sister-in-law's family wants to advance faster."
"Your second sister-in-law has a rather strong personality."
"Are you sure Lin Chen, a young man, is that powerful?"
Song Qingquan: "Lin Chen's cooking skills are too strong. I don't think even the God of Cookery is enough to describe his cooking."
"His cooking is like that Master Lin's calligraphy online—"
At this point, Song Qingquan froze.
Song Shize said in surprise, "Could it be the same person?"
Song Qingquan took out his phone: "Let me ask. Big brother, don't make a sound. I'll call Lin Chen."
Soon, he dialed Lin Chen's phone number.
"Master Lin, you've been hiding it from me so well. Your calligraphy is actually so amazing. Can you sell me a piece of calligraphy? I'll offer thirty million to get one for my dad."
Song Qingquan said.
Lin Chen said on the other end of the phone, "Boss Song, you found out from President Chen, right? My calligraphy is not for sale."
Song Qingquan and Song Shize exchanged glances.
They were shocked.
It was indeed the same person!
"Master Lin, how about fifty million for a piece? My dad likes calligraphy. He's turning eighty soon, and I'm begging for a piece of calligraphy to give him as a birthday gift."
"Boss Song, I understand your eagerness to save your daughter, but my calligraphy is not for sale. I won't sell it no matter how much money you offer."
"Boss Song, please keep it a secret that I'm Lin Yu."
Soon, Lin Chen hung up the phone.
Song Qingquan looked at his eldest brother and said, "Big brother, you know about Master Lin Yu's calligraphy. Dad likes it very much, and the higher-ups will definitely like it too."
Song Shize nodded.
Lin Chen possessed superb cooking skills and calligraphy, and his fairy tales were popular all over the world. He was no ordinary person.
The Song family had no feud with Lin Chen.
There was no need to oppose Lin Chen because of the Wu family.
"Third brother, do you think I should meet Lin Chen?"
Song Shize asked.
Song Qingquan: "Big brother, let's take action first. You might get rejected if you go now. It will be much better to find him after we take action."
"Okay."
Song Shize nodded slightly.
"I'll take action after I communicate with your second brother. It concerns the interests of the entire family, and your second brother will make a decision."
"Big brother, thank you."
Song Shize waved his hand: "We're family. You're being too polite saying that. Moreover, making an enemy of Lin Chen is not good for the family. There's no need for us to go down that road."
Soon, Song Shize called Song Shizekang.
He told Song Shizekang about the situation.
However, he didn't reveal that Lin Chen was Lin Yu. Lin Chen asked him to keep it a secret, and it wouldn't be good for him to say it now.
"Brother, I have no objections."
"This is good for the family and good for Little Wan."
Song Shizekang said on the other end of the phone.
Song Shize: "Okay... then I'll have people start taking action. You also have some people change their action plans."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Song Shize made several more calls.
"The Song family has turned against the Wu family?"
The people who received the calls were puzzled.
But they readily agreed to Song Shize's request.
Although the Wu family also had some strength, they were no match for the Song family. Of course, they would help the Song family.
...
At the Wu family, Wu Yangcheng's phone rang.
"Brother Wu, what's the good news?"
Wu Yangcheng answered the phone with a smile. The person on the other end of the line was a major client of the Wu family.
Two-tenths of the Wu family's profits came from this major client.
"President Wu, I treat you like a brother, but you're screwing me over. Many of your goods have quality problems."
"I'll have all the goods with quality problems returned. In addition, because you have seriously violated the contract, our cooperation is terminated."
"For the sake of our many years of friendship, I won't pursue the past."
With that, President Wu hung up the phone.
Wu Yangcheng's face changed drastically.
The termination of the largest and most stable partner would definitely be a huge blow to their entire Wu family's business.
"How could this happen?"
Wu Yangcheng's face was extremely ugly.
He knew that there were some quality problems with their company's goods, and President Wu should have known about them too. Why was it suddenly not okay?
"Beep beep!"
Before long, Wu Yangcheng's phone rang again.
Wu Yangcheng quickly took out his phone.
The caller ID showed "Bank Manager Chi."
Wu Yangcheng had a faint ominous premonition: "Bank Manager Chi, it's been a while since we last met. When do you have time? I'll be the host, and we'll have a good get-together."
Bank Manager Chi said on the other end of the phone, "President Wu, the five hundred million you borrowed from our Wu family before, you need to return to our bank within a week."
Wu Yangcheng's face changed.
The largest customer ended cooperation, and now the bank was withdrawing its loan. Wu Yangcheng knew that the Wu family would soon have big trouble.
"Bank Manager Chi, the loan hasn't expired yet."
Bank Manager Chi said, "President Wu, according to the agreement, if there are major problems with the operation of your Wu family, our bank has the right to recall the loan in advance."
"Hurry up and pay back the money."
