Chapter 134 Whose gun is faster?
Lu Tianming took a step back.
The two large mahogany doors of the investment promotion hall were kicked open from the outside. The doors slammed against the wall, and plaster fell off the wall in a flurry, raising a cloud of dust.
All eyes in the room were drawn to it.
Several figures appeared at the door and then walked in, led by the Huo family's head butler.
He was followed by more than twenty men in black suits and white gloves, walking in perfect unison.
This is the Huo family's law enforcement team.
Behind the enforcement team were more than a dozen uniformed police officers carrying guns, from the Provincial Department of Public Security's Economic Crime Investigation Division; the guns gleamed under the lights.
This doesn't look like they're here for a meeting; it looks more like they're here to arrest someone.
Huo Jingyun, standing on the platform, saw the head butler arrive.
He scrambled to his feet and charged at the head steward like a madman, pointing at Lin Chen and shouting:
"Head Butler! You've come at the perfect time! It's this country bumpkin! He somehow managed to hack our accounts! Forty billion! Get the enforcement team to take action and cripple him!"
He thought the Huo family was there to support him, and that he was still the young master of the Huo family.
The head butler walked up to him and stopped.
He glanced at Huo Jingyun but didn't say anything.
The head butler raised his hand and delivered a powerful backhand thrust.
Huo Jingyun was spun halfway by the slap and landed hard on his buttocks, a bloody tooth flying out of his mouth.
The audience was silent.
Huo Jingyun covered his face, looked at the head butler, and asked, "Why...why..."
The head steward didn't look at him, but took out a handwritten order from his pocket, which was stamped with the Huo family's seal.
He unfolded the edict and read aloud: "Huo Jingyun, a collateral descendant of the Huo family! Colluding with the overseas illegal organization 'Eye of the Deep Sea,' misappropriating family funds, and selling core trade secrets, his crimes are unforgivable! By order of the patriarch, effective immediately, he is stripped of his surname 'Huo' and expelled from the family! From this day forward, he is responsible for his own life and death, and has no further connection with the Huo family!"
To strip someone of their surname.
They were expelled from the house.
He's completely finished.
Huo Jingyun collapsed to the ground, like a lump of mud.
The captain of the Economic Crime Investigation Division stepped forward, took out an arrest warrant from his pocket, and waved it in front of Huo Jingyun.
"Jingyun, you have been formally arrested on suspicion of multiple transnational financial crimes and commercial espionage."
A pair of handcuffs snapped onto his wrists.
The eldest son of the Huo family is now a prisoner.
Lu Tianming, who was not far away, watched the situation unfold.
Huo Jingyun has fallen; his biggest backer was eliminated by his own family.
Lu Tianming's eyes darted around, and seeing that everyone's attention was on Huo Jingyun, he gave a wink to the two bodyguards behind him and crouched down, trying to slip away through the side door.
As soon as he reached the door, a tall and burly figure blocked his way.
It's Zhou Dazhuang.
Zhou Dazhuang crossed his arms, grinned, and revealed a set of white teeth.
"Mr. Lu, why are you in such a hurry to leave? The banquet isn't over yet."
Lu Tianming's heart sank to the bottom.
He's like a turtle trapped in a stove pit, never to come out.
At this moment, Lin Chen walked up to the podium and took out a document from his pocket.
That was a printed copy of the "Tianhai Group Asset Appraisal and Liability Details".
He picked up the microphone and blew on it.
"Feed".
The sound traveled through the speakers to everyone's ears, and all eyes turned to him.
Lin Chen looked at the people below the stage and spoke:
"Tianhai Group claims to have total assets of 12 billion yuan and no bad debts. But what I found is that Tianhai Group's actual debt ratio is as high as 87.6%."
"All of his ports and fleets had already been pledged to a venture capital fund in Panama through a complex offshore trust three months ago, in exchange for four billion in working capital."
"In other words, Mr. Lu Tianming, the multi-billionaire tycoon in front of you, and his proud Tianhai Group, are nothing but an empty shell."
Upon hearing this, the financial reporters at the scene were stunned for a moment, and then frantically pressed the shutter.
The flashbulbs kept going off, illuminating Lu Tianming's deathly pale face.
Falsifying financial statements, malicious short selling, and suspected massive money laundering.
Any one of these factors could cause a listed company to go bankrupt.
Within seconds, the news made headlines on major financial media outlets through live broadcasts and reporters' mobile phones.
Tianhai Group is finished.
Among the crowd, the three cooperative owners who had just announced their betrayal of Longji Fresh turned pale.
As they listened to the data Lin Chen read out and looked at Lu Tianming on the stage, they were filled with deep regret.
They abandoned the dragon and jumped onto a wrecked ship.
The three of them looked at each other, their faces filled with despair and regret.
The next second, they moved.
The three people rushed to the front of the stage, knelt down, and shuffled their knees to Lin Chen's feet.
"President Lin! We were wrong! We were blinded by greed!"
"We've been scammed by that swindler Lu Tianming! Please give us another chance!"
"President Lin! You're so magnanimous, please just ignore us and let us go!"
They slapped themselves in the face, crying and begging at the same time.
Lin Chen didn't even lift his eyelids.
He ignored them and just waved to Sun Heizi in the audience.
Sun Heizi smiled.
He waved and walked over with several security guards.
"President Lin doesn't want to see you, get out!"
Several security guards rushed forward, one on each, grabbing the three bosses by the collar and dragging them out of the investment promotion hall.
Sun Heizi's voice came from outside: "From today onwards, Longji Fresh, along with all its partners, will permanently blacklist these three farms!"
Seeing this scene, all the bosses present felt a chill run down their spines.
The way they looked at Lin Chen changed.
It was no longer contempt, but fear.
This young man is resourceful and ruthless.
On the platform, Lu Tianming, filled with despair, looked at the people around him and the police officers approaching step by step, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes.
He thought that even if he died, he would take someone down with him.
He suddenly pulled something out of the inside pocket of his suit jacket.
It was a silver revolver.
Amidst screams, Lu Tianming raised his arm, pointing the gun at Lin Chen's forehead.
"Don't move!"
He roared.
"Lin Chen! You think you're so good at calculations? Did you even calculate this?! Die!"
