The entire ocean is my fishing ground.

Chapter 87 1 minute, 1!

"Fifty million."

It made Shen Man's face burn with pain.

Who is she?

The executor of the Shen family capital in Southeast Asia is a powerful figure in the provincial capital, someone even local bigwigs like Tang Zhen have to treat with respect.

Now, this country bumpkin from Huangni Village is actually using 50 million to humiliate her assets worth 400 million.

"You...are dreaming."

Shen Man's lips, which she had bitten so hard, had turned completely bloodless.

She refuses.

This is an offer I will not accept, it's like giving alms!

She still has a trump card up her sleeve.

Forcing herself to maintain her pride, Shen Man dialed the number she knew by heart in front of everyone.

"Hello, it's me."

It sounded noisy on the other end of the phone.

"I need bridge financing, immediately."

As she spoke, she glared at Lin Chen with resentment.

"Listen, I don't care what methods you use, I want to see the money within half an hour."

"Otherwise, I'll sell all of Shao Kun's core assets at a low price to Huatai or Far East Group. What I can't have, you can't have either. Lin Chen can't have either."

Tang Zhen, the head of the Li family, and others around him subconsciously found the play becoming increasingly exciting.

However, Lin Chen's reaction sent chills down their spines.

He completely ignored Shen Man's shouts.

He simply took a cigarette from the pack Sun Heizi handed him and lit it.

A bluish-white mist drifted from his lips, blurring his expression.

"Ms. Shen, is it difficult to make a phone call? Is the signal bad?"

He spoke as if it were a trivial, everyday matter.

"How about I give you a heads-up?"

Lin Chen exhaled a smoke ring and calmly recited a series of numbers.

"You used that Swiss bank account ending in 774 to pay off Shao Kun's gambling debts in Macau, and you did it cleanly."

Shen Man's hand holding the phone suddenly trembled.

Lin Chen acted as if he hadn't seen it and continued speaking:

"And that offshore company in Panama, account ending in 509, just had a sum of money deposited into it the day before yesterday. Was that the penalty for breach of contract for that shady betting agreement you signed with Ghost Hand, after you misappropriated funds from the group's procurement?"

"Oh, right, there's one more account, the one ending in 332. That's your secret stash, used specifically for..."

"Stop talking."

Shen Man screamed, her voice shrill, and her phone fell to the ground with a "thud," the screen shattering instantly into pieces.

She was trembling all over, not from anger, but from fear.

It’s over.

It's all over.

These three accounts are her biggest secret, the cornerstone of her attempt to turn the provincial capital business into her own independent kingdom.

Even her assistant was unaware of these actions.

Lin Chen... how did he know?

He is not human, he is a devil.

Tang Zhen and the others exchanged glances, and they all saw shock in each other's eyes.

They previously thought Lin Chen was incredibly powerful and capable of getting his hands on top-quality seafood.

Now I understand that the terror of this Boss Lin lies not in how many fish he has, but in his eyes that seem to see through everything.

He can thoroughly investigate someone like Shen Man, who is adept at navigating the capital market.

This is no longer business competition; this is a devastating blow.

Just then, the phone that had fallen to the ground rang again.

Although the screen was shattered, the name displayed on the caller ID made Shen Man's heart sink.

"Headquarters...President's Office..."

Shen Man's bodyguard read it out unconsciously.

Shen Man froze, her strength gone. She slowly squatted down and picked up the broken phone.

She shakily swiped to answer the call and turned on speakerphone.

She wanted to call headquarters for help and try to explain herself.

However, instead of comfort, what came from the other end of the phone was a roar—a middle-aged man shouting angrily in English:

"Shen Man, you idiot! What have you done?"

"Did you know that a joint investigation team from Fintrac (Financial Transaction and Reporting Analysis Centre of Canada) and AUSTRAC (Australian Transaction and Reporting Analysis Centre) has already arrived in the provincial capital?"

"All those accounts you set up privately have been frozen. Headquarters is fully aware that you embezzled public funds to cover Shao Kun's debt hole."

"The board orders you to immediately liquidate all liquid assets to cover the deficit. Otherwise, you can expect to be extradited internationally and spend the rest of your life in jail."

"Beep...beep...beep..."

The phone was abruptly hung up.

Every word spoken on the phone struck Shen Man's heart like a heavy blow.

International creditors...

Criminal proceedings...

International extradition...

These words completely shattered her psychological defenses.

She slumped onto the concrete floor, her expensive custom-made suit covered in dust and smelling of fish, her eyes vacant.

The only sounds on the entire dock were the waves crashing against the rocks and the faint sound of water flowing from the constant-temperature hibernation pods on the Poseidon.

Everyone's attention was focused on Lin Chen.

This young man, who had remained calm and composed throughout, was now seen as no different from a god in their eyes.

Lin Chen stubbed out his cigarette and threw it into the trash can at his feet.

He walked up to the limp Shen Man and looked down at her.

He slowly retracted two of his five outstretched fingers.

"Now, there are only 30 million left."

"You've probably heard about my rules."

"For every minute you hesitate, the price will drop by ten million."

"You have two minutes to consider."
