Chapter 222: Chapter 222
Before the market opens.
Feng Wanshan returned to the company early, and a rumor about Lin Fan’s background, spread by his manipulation, instantly caused a huge sensation.
"According to reliable sources, Lin Fan is not a scion of the Kyoto Lin Family but comes from a rural background and originally was a deliveryman. Lin Fan inherited his uncle Lin Beixuan’s multi-billion fortune. Lin Beixuan was a hidden tycoon who, due to having cancer and no heir, left his estate to Lin Fan."
"After inheriting the billion-dollar fortune, Lin Fan spent lavishly, and has now used up all his wealth!"
As soon as the news came out, all sectors were filled with lively discussions.
"Damn, I thought he was a prince of the Kyoto Lin Family!"
"Turns out he’s not, just a sudden rich upstart!"
"So he’s a poor man suddenly rich, no wonder he’d spend money crazily and even squander it all away!"
"No way, he’s not a prince of the Kyoto Lin Family, what a disappointment."
"I said it a long time ago, how can a prince of the Kyoto Lin Family possibly come to Yun City."
Everyone started to mock, and the internet was flooded with voices ridiculing Lin Fan.
Seeing these comments, Feng Wanshan was overjoyed.
It could be expected that as soon as the market opened, the market value of Mortal Group would definitely plummet.
However, Feng Wanshan wasn’t happy for long before Mortal Group came out to debunk the rumors.
The statement from Mortal Group declared that Lin Beixuan is indeed the mysterious tycoon Mr. Lin who has been making waves in Yun City lately!
Lin Beixuan does not have cancer and is not short of money, and he is about to bring billions in cash to Yun City to develop Chiba Island!
Lin Fan is Lin Beixuan’s representative, and the recent furious acquisition spree was at Lin Beixuan’s direction, with the aim of building a trillion-dollar group.
This statement shocked Yun City once again.
The identity of the mysterious tycoon Mr. Lin was publicly revealed for the first time!
It turns out Mortal Group actually belongs to Mr. Lin!
"The identity of the mysterious tycoon Mr. Lin has finally been unveiled!"
"Oh my, is he the Mr. Lin who bought Yunding Manor and Chiba Island!"
"Mr. Lin is amazing, buying so many assets, just how rich is he!"
"I’m really looking forward to Mr. Lin coming to Yun City!"
"Even if Lin Fan isn’t from the Kyoto Lin Family, Mr. Lin, with his wealth, what exactly is his identity?"
For a while, Mr. Lin became the hot topic among the crowd, with the market optimistic and anticipating that Mr. Lin would invest billions to develop the golden zone of Daya Bay Chiba Island, with limitless prospects.
At 9:30 in the morning, the market opened.
The stock price of Celestial Aviation soared again, climbing all the way up, surging nearly 200 million from a market value of 700 million, approaching 900 million!
In Shengshi Group, sitting in the office and watching the stock market trends, Feng Wanshan let out a tragic cry, almost spitting blood.
It was only then he realized he had been played by Lin Fan!
Last night, Anna pressed Lin Fan about information on Lin Beixuan, and the news Anna finally brought back was that Lin Beixuan had cancer and left his estate to the poor boy Lin Fan at the end of his life.
Feng Wanshan was extremely happy and immediately instructed to spread the news, as long as the outside world knows that Lin Fan is not a prince of the Kyoto Lin Family, it would undoubtedly cause the market to be pessimistic, and the stock price of Celestial Aviation would certainly plummet!
The tables turned, and Mortal Group quickly debunked the rumor, as if they had already prepared for it from the start.
It was completely prepared.
This tactic of spreading rumors first and quickly debunking them was simply perfect hype!
Lin Fan deliberately told Anna false information!
Feng Wanshan thus inadvertently assisted Lin Fan in creating hype!
Realizing this, Feng Wanshan was almost so angry he could cough up blood.
Anna’s call came in right after.
"You still have the face to call me, your so-called good news!" Feng Wanshan scolded as soon as he picked up.
"Godfather, that was indeed what Lin Fan told me last night, you must believe me, we’ve all been deceived by him! Should I go find him to settle the score now?" Anna’s voice carried anger and apprehension.
Feng Wanshan sneered: "You want to settle the score with him, are you even his match?"
Anna said: "But he tricked me, I can’t swallow this anger!"
Feng Wanshan said: "Calm down, I’ll deal with him myself!"
Feng Wanshan hung up the phone.
On the other end of the call, Anna let out a cold laugh; calling this was naturally to dispel Feng Wanshan’s suspicions.
Then, Anna called Lin Fan: "Your plan succeeded, Feng Wanshan is going mad seeing Mortal Group’s stock price soar."
Lin Fan said lightly: "That’s enough to drive him crazy? The real show is yet to come."
Lin Fan went along with the ploy, using Feng Wanshan to promote Mortal Group, and created the Mr. Lin sensation, causing the stock price of Mortal Group to surge again.
But that wasn’t the main act.
Feng Wanshan actually dared to use underhanded means, bribing his flight attendant to try to create a scandal for him.
Lin Fan couldn’t just let it go without giving him a return gift!
A scandal about Shengshi Group suddenly broke out.
It was an old story, a year ago in one of Shengshi Group’s real estate developments, a young woman ended her life by jumping.
At the time, Shengshi Group handled it discreetly without much fuss.
However, today it suddenly emerged that this woman who took her own life was actually Feng Wanshan’s mistress, who, after being abandoned by him, committed suicide at Shengshi Group’s property, trying to retaliate against Feng Wanshan.
The scandal broke out and instantly shocked the internet.
"No way, isn’t Feng Wanshan the head of Shengshi Group!"
"Turns out she was a mistress!"
"Truly a scandal from the wealthy!"
"Isn’t that Feng guy even human?"
"Scumbag, despicable man!"
The internet was filled with curses.
In Shengshi Group, in Feng Wanshan’s office, while he was still troubled by the Mortal Group matter, he suddenly saw this news and was taken aback.
The first thought that crossed Feng Wanshan’s mind was that someone had set him up.
"PR department, issue a clarification immediately!" Feng Wanshan ordered in anger and haste.
Following that, Shengshi Group issued a denial statement, refuting the rumors and threatening outsiders not to spread them further, or face warnings from their lawyers!
However, after Shengshi Group’s denial statement, a series of photos surfaced, showing Feng Wanshan in intimate situations with the woman who committed suicide!
These photos confirmed the close relationship between Feng Wanshan and the woman who committed suicide!
The internet exploded.
"The denial from Shengshi Group is a real slap in the face!"
"Is this what they call asking for concrete evidence?"
"Threatening us not to spread rumors, this isn’t even a rumor!"
"Who’s spreading rumors, isn’t this the truth!"
"This is killing me, solid evidence!"
Seeing the photos circulating on the internet, Feng Wanshan’s face turned pale, and he slumped into his chair.
"Who did this, who is targeting me?"
"It must be Lin Fan!"
Feng Wanshan roared; besides Lin Fan, he couldn’t think of anyone else, it was clear Lin Fan was retaliating against him!
"Lin Fan, you wait, I will never let you go!" Feng Wanshan was deeply hateful towards Lin Fan.
He was planning to find a way to take revenge on Lin Fan.
Two police officers walked into his office.
"Mr. Feng, regarding the jumping incident from a year ago, we would like to ask you to come with us to assist with the investigation!" the police said directly.
At the entrance of Shengshi Group.
Journalists gathered, flashbulbs consistently popping, and under the gaze of the public, Feng Wanshan was taken away in a police car.
Soon after, news spread of Feng Wanshan being taken away by police for investigation.
The stock price of Shengshi Group plummeted, losing 300 million in market value in just one day, nearly breaking the 1 billion mark.
Just after finishing his police statement, Feng Wanshan, sitting in his car, screamed when he heard the news, and fainted on the spot.
