"I need a halftime break."
Lin Chen flipped the number plate over, and he lowered his head while talking to his secretary. Not long after, the third round of the auction began.
Before he could speak, Song Qianyi directly raised the bidding price for the franchise rights to the maximum.
"1.2 billion."
Lin Chen raised his number to follow, but his secretary reminded him, "Mr. Lin, this has already exceeded the amount of funds we have prepared. If we continue like this, it will be detrimental to our plan."
His right hand gripped the number plate tightly, his fingers tightening, and his eyes revealed resentment.
The official host on stage looked around and said, "Is there anyone else who wants to raise the price at 1.2 billion? First bid, second bid... third bid."
As the hammer fell, the Ji Group officially won the production rights. Lin Chen was furious. He watched with a gloomy face as Ji Jingshen went on stage to sign the contract with the officials.
Ji Jingshen stood on the stage and glanced at him below. Lin Chen was so angry at his actions that he took it as a provocation for his failure in the auction.
After obtaining the production license, Ji Jingshen and Song Qianyi left the venue. When they reached the main entrance, Lin Chen suddenly appeared from the side and blocked their way.
He looked at Ji Jingshen and Song Qianyi meaningfully: "Don't think that winning the bid and obtaining the production license means you've truly secured the project. Nobody can predict what will happen next; there might be some unexpected events along the way."
"Is that so? Then there's no need for President Lin to trouble himself. After all, our Ji Group won the bid for this production license, and we will naturally take care of the rest. This matter has nothing to do with President Lin. Since President Lin lost the bid, he should take care of himself first."
Song Qianyi retorted sarcastically, saying that she wouldn't tolerate anyone coming to provoke her like this, since they were the ones who started it.
She turned to look at Ji Jingshen: "Let's go."
As Song Qianyi left the hotel, she felt uneasy: "Did Lin Chen mean to do something to us just now?"
"Lin Chen is unpredictable and has long harbored considerable hostility towards us. I'll have my bodyguards strengthen security around my home."
He took out his phone and called the head of the bodyguards at home: "Starting today, have your men patrol around the villa more often, as someone may resort to illegal means."
Ji Jingshen and Song Qianyi were worried that Lin Chen would send someone to harm Sui Sui, since Sui Sui was their Achilles' heel, and everyone knew that.
Now, because of their dealings with the Lin Group, the two of them often have to go out to work overtime, leaving Sui Sui alone at home. Who knows what she might do if she falls into the eyes of someone with ulterior motives.
When Lin Chen returned to the Lin Group, he acted like a madman, kicking a chair and smashing everything on the desk to the ground, venting all his anger. His chest heaved, and the once tidy office was instantly turned into a mess.
"Go, by any means necessary, get the toxin from the biotechnology company and put it into the water source near Ji Jingshen and Song Qianyi."
He looked at the secretary with a mad glint in his eye. The secretary hesitated for a moment, then looked at him with a look of doubt. He didn't respond to Lin Chen for a long time. In the past, if Lin Chen asked him to do something at the company, he would have done it without hesitation.
But now it has become a way to remove toxins. The toxins in biotechnology companies are only used for experimental research. Now that they are being released into the water source, it is tantamount to killing people. He will not be able to escape responsibility in the end.
"What? You don't want to?"
Lin Chen could see the secretary's reluctance, so he walked up to her and said, "If you still want to stay here and earn money for your family, then do as I say. Otherwise, I don't mind bringing your family over so I can meet them properly."
Lin Chen pressured his secretary, who had no choice but to compromise. The secretary retrieved the toxin from the biotechnology company, returned to Lin Chen's office, handed him the toxin, and pressed it against her own thigh.
"President Lin, this is a toxin from a biotechnology company. Are you sure you want to put it into the water source near Ji Jingshen and Song Qianyi's house? We have other ways to deal with the franchise rights issue. If we really put it into the water, something bad will definitely happen."
Sitting in the chair, Lin Chen looked up and said, "If you don't put this thing into the water source near their house today, then you can expect it to appear in your house."
The secretary quickly stepped forward, took the toxin, and turned to walk outside.
The toxin silently entered the water source in Ji Jingshen and Song Qianyi's home. Just as they were wondering what methods Lin Chen would use to deal with them, bad news came from their home.
"What?! Sui Sui is vomiting non-stop and has a fever! I'm going back right now."
Song Qianyi received a call from Liang Yu at home and rushed to the hospital. Sui Sui was lying weakly on the hospital bed receiving an IV drip. Her little face was flushed, and she weakly raised her little hand when she saw Song Qianyi.
"Mom, I feel unwell."
Her eyes were glistening with tears, and her voice had become hoarse.
Song Qianyi comforted Sui Sui with heartache: "Sui Sui, be good, the doctors will heal you. Sui Sui, rest here for a while, and you'll get better soon."
She had never seen Sui Sui so sick since she gave birth to her. Sui Sui was very weak on the hospital bed. She didn't want to talk anymore after she finished speaking, and her body started to hurt.
Song Qianyi was extremely anxious and applied for a caregiver position, spending all her time in the hospital taking care of Sui Sui. Soon, Song Qianyi also developed the same symptoms, but because she was an adult and in good physical condition, her symptoms were not as severe as Sui Sui's, and she was still able to walk.
Upon seeing that Song Qianyi and Sui Sui exhibited the same symptoms, Ji Jingshen immediately realized that something was amiss. He quickly dispatched people to investigate and discovered that some family members and those in the surrounding area had also developed symptoms of illness.
Ji Jingshen couldn't help but start to have doubts. He called Liang Yu over and said, "Go to each ward and collect statistics on their symptoms and the time of onset. I suspect this is not an accident."
Following his instructions, Liang Yu quickly went to the patients' wards to collect their symptoms and onset times. When she presented the information to Ji Jingshen for careful verification, she discovered that their symptoms were exactly the same as those of Song Qianyi and Sui Sui, only differing in severity.
“Their symptoms are exactly the same as Qianyi and Suisui’s. How could this be?”
Ji Jingshen frowned as he looked at the report: "This means the problem lies in the home. Sui Sui and Qian Yi's medical reports have come out, and they have different levels of toxins in their bodies. Someone must have poisoned the house to cause these symptoms."
