Chapter 88 Your money isn't coming.
Two minutes.
These two words pierced Shen Man's eardrums.
She suddenly raised her head, her face contorted with madness and resentment.
"You're bluffing me."
She screamed, her voice sharp and cracking.
"You're waiting for me to break down. Let me tell you, that's impossible."
She still has a trump card: bridge financing from Singapore.
That was her lifeline, the source of her confidence to challenge headquarters and threaten Lin Chen.
Once the funds arrive, she can stabilize the situation and get a chance to catch her breath.
Shen Man gripped the shattered phone tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, drawing blood, but she didn't even notice.
She forced herself to calm down, swiped the screen, and frantically refreshed the interface of the overseas bank's app.
Once, twice...
The transfer icon is still spinning.
Hurry up.
Hurry up.
She was screaming inside.
Tang Zhen, the Li family head, and others around him didn't dare to breathe loudly.
As they watched this scene, they felt a chill rise from the soles of their feet.
They had witnessed the cutthroat competition of the business world and experienced the strangulation of capital, but they had never seen such a terrifying scene.
This was not a negotiation, nor a game of strategy; it was a public execution.
Lin Chen glanced at the digital watch.
Another minute passed.
"Twenty million."
"ah--."
Shen Man broke down and let out a desperate scream.
"Lin Chen, don't push me. Shen's Capital has operations all over the world. If you treat me like this today, headquarters won't let you off the hook. You're making an enemy of a multinational corporation."
She tried to threaten her with her identity.
However, Lin Chen just looked at her quietly, his eyes filled with the disdain one would show to a child who was being unreasonable.
He couldn't be bothered to respond to her threats.
Raise your wrist again.
"Sixty seconds left."
This chilling countdown foreshadows Shen Man's fate.
Sixty seconds…
Fifty-nine seconds...
Shen Man's breathing became heavy. She stared intently at her phone screen, her eyes bloodshot. The spinning circle became the center of her world.
Tang Zhen subconsciously touched his heart and found that his heartbeat was synchronized with the invisible countdown.
too frightening.
This young man not only controlled the pricing of seafood, but also the heartbeats and breathing of everyone present.
Sun Heizi and Zhou Dazhuang stood on either side of Lin Chen behind him, without saying a word; their very presence was a source of pressure.
On the dock, the restaurant owners who had just been going crazy for live fish were now completely silent.
They looked at Shen Man, who had once been so domineering towards them, now lying on the ground struggling.
This stark contrast deepened their awe of Lin Chen.
Time passed second by second.
As the last second passed, even the wind on the dock stopped.
The screen on Shen Man's phone was still that spinning circle.
A dead silence.
The light in Shen Man's eyes began to dim.
Just then, Lin Chen spoke again.
His voice remained calm, yet carried a sense of judgment.
"I forgot to tell you."
He paused for a moment before slowly and deliberately reading out the passage.
"Singapore's financial regulator has just initiated a temporary offshore review of Southeast Asian capital, and all large outflows of funds have been delayed."
"Your money is expected to arrive in your account 23 minutes late."
"So, it can't get through."
boom.
A thunderbolt exploded in Shen Man's mind.
Singapore...offshore review...delayed by 23 minutes...
The light in her eyes went out instantly, leaving only a lifeless emptiness after her beliefs collapsed.
How could he know?
Such temporary financial controls might not even be known to Singapore in time, so how could a fisherman from Huangni Village possibly know in advance?
The devil... he is the devil.
"Clatter".
The cell phone, which she had been clinging to as her lifeline, slipped from her limp hand and fell to the concrete floor.
The already shattered screen was now completely transformed into a spiderweb-like mess.
It’s over.
It's all over.
Lin Chen walked up to her, squatted down, and looked into her empty eyes.
He extended two fingers, then withdrew one, leaving only his index finger, which he gently waved in front of her eyes.
"Ten million."
"This is the final offer."
"Sign, or I'll leave."
After saying that, he stood up and turned to leave.
"I'll sign...I'll sign."
Behind her, she heard Shen Man's voice, choked with sobs, as she squeezed out a sob from her throat.
Her pride and dignity were also crushed.
Sun Heizi expressionlessly took a printed document and a pen from his bag and threw them in front of her.
That was the transfer agreement for all the remaining assets of the Shaw Group, with an acquisition price of ten million.
Shen Man picked up the pen with trembling hands, and without even reading the contents of the document, she signed her name at the end.
The handwriting was crooked and messy.
After signing the papers, her body went limp, her vision went black, and she fainted.
The surrounding bodyguards rushed forward in a flurry of activity.
Tang Zhen and the others watched this scene, their Adam's apples bobbing, unable to utter a single word.
The asset package worth 400 million was ultimately sold for 10 million.
Tang Zhen thought to himself, this is no longer taking advantage of a bargain, this is outright robbery, but he just felt it was perfectly reasonable.
Lin Chen took the agreement from Sun Heizi, blew on the still-wet ink, folded it up casually, and put it in his pocket, as if it were just a grocery receipt.
He didn't even glance at the unconscious Shen Man, then turned to Zhou Dazhuang and Sun Heizi and gave them new instructions in a calm tone, as if he were saying, "Let's go home for dinner."
"Walk."
"Go and collect Warehouse No. 3."
