Chapter 2109: The Consequences of Threatening Lin Yi
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Ji Qingyan mentioned his sister, Lee Yongjin, Lee Yongchul’s expression darkened.
Those who knew him well were aware that the name Lee Yongjin was a taboo for him.
This was because Lee Yongjin was almost flawless.
Especially in recent years when she had single-handedly revived Samsung’s business in the Terra-Pakcik region.
Even Lee Yongchul knew this all too well.
The only reason he was first in line for inheritance was because he didn’t appear completely incompetent and, of course, benefited from the advantage of being male.
If Lee Yongjin had been born a man, there wouldn’t have been any place for him.
“President Ji, you shouldn’t speak so harshly. When I offer you an opportunity, you should take it. If I’m in a good mood, you might still have a slim chance.” Lee Yongchul’s face grew darker as he spoke.
“But if I don’t want to give you that chance, Lingyun Group will go bankrupt by next year!”
“Hmph!”
Ji Qingyan let out a cold snort, completely unfazed by Lee Yongchul. “We’ll see about that.”
“You b*tch, are you threatening me? Do you really think I won’t make sure you never return to Huaxia?”
“What are you doing! Let go of me! Smack!”
Ji Qingyan’s expression changed, and without hesitation, she slapped Lee Yongchul across the face!
Lee Yongchul was completely stunned by the slap.
He hadn’t expected Ji Qingyan to be so aggressive, daring to lay a hand on him.
But that slap also infuriated Lee Yongchul completely!
“You wretched woman, don’t think I won’t deal with you! I’m telling you, you won’t leave London tonight!”
Lee Yongchul raised his hand, about to strike back, but just as he was about to, a low, cold voice rang out from the doorway.
“You’ve got some nerve to threaten my woman.”
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Ji Qingyan’s nerves immediately jolted.
It was a voice she would never forget!
“Lin Yi!”
When she turned toward the door, she saw Lin Yi standing there.
For a moment, it felt like a dream. Her eyes welled up with tears, almost impossible to hold back.
She had never expected Lin Yi to show up in a place like this.
When a person feels wronged, these emotions naturally surface.
For Ji Qingyan, Lin Yi had always been her last line of defense.
“Lin Yi!”
Without a second thought, Ji Qingyan ran over to Lin Yi and threw herself into his arms, holding him tightly.
Lin Yi embraced her just as tightly. The familiar feeling, one he hadn’t experienced in so long, washed over him.
“You’ve worked hard, holding up Lingyun Group all this time.”
Such a simple statement pierced right through Ji Qingyan’s emotional defenses.
Although she was exceptional in business, she had never faced a situation like this before.
After all, Chaoyang Group was just a mid-tier company in Zhonghai.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
It was only after she took over Lingyun Group that she had the opportunity to attend global meetings like this and stand face-to-face with the world’s top capitalists.
In reality, she had been forcing herself to stay strong.
“I didn’t do that well.”
“You did just fine.” Lin Yi patted her on the shoulder. “Let me take care of things here. You can step aside now.”
After they separated, Lin Yi glanced over at Shen Tianzhuo.
The situation in front of him was even worse than he had imagined.
“I didn’t expect that the banquet would be almost over, and the president himself would show up so late. Seems a bit tardy, don’t you think?” Lee Yongchul sneered.
“Not late at all.” Lin Yi shrugged and said.
“I didn’t come here for this ridiculous meeting. You clowns can scheme however you like. It has nothing to do with me.”
“You sure are arrogant. Do you really think just because you’ve achieved a little success, you can say whatever you want here?”
“We have a complete product chain. Whatever we want to produce, we can. Though our reputation isn’t as big as yours, as long as we’re willing to invest, none of that matters. Capital always votes with its feet. Your so-called new protocol and architecture for high-performance carbon-based chips don’t mean a thing.”
“Capital?”
Lee Yongchul laughed out loud.
“I know a bit about Lingyun Group. In Huaxia, sure, you have some influence. But do you really think you can compete with us in terms of wealth?”
“In terms of wealth, we probably can’t compete. But don’t forget, Lingyun Group has a unique significance and positioning in Huaxia. We’ll have an endless stream of funding. That’s something you don’t have, isn’t it?”
Lee Yongchul squinted, his gaze becoming sharp and menacing as he looked at Lin Yi.
“You’re nothing but a coward who didn’t even dare to attend the meeting and instead sent a woman. I don’t think you have the guts to back up your words.”
Lee Yongchul sneered at Lin Yi. “But you did arrive in time. If you hadn’t, your girlfriend might not have been able to leave tonight.”
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow and looked at Lee Yongchul, his gaze icy cold.
“You’re the first person who’s dared to say something like that to my face.”
“Oh? Are you threatening me now?” Lee Yongchul said arrogantly.
“I’m letting this go today because I’m in a good mood. Otherwise, your girlfriend still wouldn’t be walking out of here.”
Lin Yi casually reached to his waist, pulling out his defensive master dagger, and started to toy with it in his hand.
“I’m giving you one more chance to repeat what you just said.”
Seeing the gleaming dagger, the people around them instinctively stepped back.
No one had expected this man to take such a bold action.
Even those on stage, including Wendevi, frowned slightly. They weren’t afraid of Lin Yi, but his behavior was certainly surprising.
Lee Yongchul’s expression didn’t change; he even spread his arms out wide.
“You’re going to stand up for your girlfriend? I’ll give you the chance. Let’s see if you have the guts. Don’t disappoint me.”
Lee Yongchul’s arrogance was at its peak.
“Earlier, I didn’t necessarily plan to take your girlfriend with me. But seeing your current attitude, I’ve changed my mind. You can come at me if you like. Otherwise, tonight, your girlfriend will end up in my bed. Come on, show me how brave you Huaxia people really are.”
The people around them watched coldly, their lips curled in mocking smiles.
Lee Yongchul was the first in line to inherit the Samsung empire.
Even though this man from Huaxia was the chairman of Lingyun Group, compared to Samsung, he was no match. Not even the devil himself would dare to challenge that kind of power.
And here was this man from Huaxia. How could he possibly have the courage to do anything?
As everyone sneered at Lin Yi, he calmly walked toward Lee Yongchul, holding the dagger, moving with deliberate slowness.
Then he stopped directly in front of him, less than half a meter away.
“You’re so cocky because you’re sure I won’t dare lay a hand on you, aren’t you?”
“I didn’t say that,” Lee Yongchul laughed exaggeratedly.
“But it’s clear you Huaxia people don’t have much courage, so I—”
Before he could finish his sentence, his words abruptly stopped.
Lin Yi’s dagger had pierced into his lower abdomen.
