382: Chapter 382 Inside Story

In the end, Wang Lin still did not stay.

However, Lin Heng didn't feel it was a pity for things to turn out this way.

The negotiation broke down, so it broke down.

There was nothing more to say.

If those people were unwilling to trust their own capabilities, what could he do?

...

The night passed without incident.

...

Early the next morning.

Lin Heng and Lin Xiaoxiao soon arrived at the bus stop carrying large and small bags.

The New Year was just a few days away.

They were planning to go back home to visit.

Lin Heng was from the countryside, and his parents had both passed away when he was young; the brother and sister had depended on each other for survival.

However, no matter how their own lives were going, every time this season arrived, they would return to their hometown to visit their parents one last time.

Even if all they faced were two grave mounds.

"Brother..."

Under the bus shelter, Lin Xiaoxiao held Lin Heng's hand, turned to look at him, and there seemed to be some lingering dissatisfaction in her eyes.

She pouted, crossed her arms, and said, "I say, yesterday was such a great opportunity, why did you just give it up like that?"

"We could have taken all of the Wang family's shares!"

At the level of Wanheng Real Estate, ordinary money no longer held much meaning for them.

The significance of holding shares was immense.

As for whether they could control Wanheng Real Estate, that depended on how many shares one held!

Lin Xiaoxiao snorted.

Her small face was full of resentment!

At this moment, Lin Xiaoxiao glared fiercely at Lin Heng, seemingly waiting for an explanation from him.

However, Lin Heng appeared far too calm.

Seeing this, he just smiled faintly.

"Judging by Wang Lin's attitude, Wanheng Real Estate doesn't seem too anxious, and you don't know... matters related to land are being watched by both the higher-ups and the lower-downs; the water in this situation is too deep..."

"Besides, do you really think someone like Wang Lin would willingly hand over all his shares? To work for us?"

Lin Heng spoke with a hint of disdain.

"But..."

Lin Xiaoxiao quickly knitted her brows in thought.

She gritted her teeth, "Someone like Wang Lin, who poured his heart and soul into Wanheng Real Estate, perhaps there's a possibility?"

"As long as Wanheng Real Estate is fine, it's like watching his own child remain safe and sound. What's wrong with that?"

Both logically and emotionally, Wang Lin's proposal to hand over all his shares in exchange for Wanheng Real Estate was reasonable.

However, Lin Heng just patted Lin Xiaoxiao's head and gave a wry smile.

"Xiaoxiao... do you really think a person like Wang Lin is that kind-hearted, willing to hand over his shares for sale?"

At these words, Lin Xiaoxiao froze.

She seemed to have thought of something.

It was just that Lin Xiaoxiao wasn't entirely certain yet.

As for her own guess, it was too terrifying!

It even hinted at the phrase 'man-eating'!

At this moment, Lin Heng's expression turned slightly serious. He slowly spoke, "What you don't know is that perhaps Wang Lin wants to use his shares to bring in someone who can continuously pump lifeblood into them?"

At this statement, Lin Xiaoxiao instantly froze in place.

Her body trembled slightly.

She even got goosebumps!

Good heavens!

It turned out Lin Heng had seen through it long ago!

Indeed!

Currently, Wanheng Real Estate could no longer be described as merely covering old debts with new ones!

Being stretched thin still implied there was clothing left!

Theirs was purely equivalent to running naked!

If it weren't for the authorities intentionally suppressing the news, perhaps panic would have already broken out!

And naturally, Wang Lin's shadow was involved in this; this guy probably ran around a lot.

Moreover, the higher-ups were temporarily unwilling to let such a massive risk explode, so they naturally agreed.

Lin Xiaoxiao initially thought she had almost missed out on hundreds of trillions, but she never expected Lin Heng to have already keenly discovered this point!

Good heavens!

It was a good thing she hadn't agreed yesterday. Otherwise, deploying such a massive sum of capital, if it couldn't be recovered, the consequences would certainly be beyond her capacity to bear.

It would even affect Lin Heng and Lin Xiaoxiao's international investments.

The siblings had finally reached this stage; naturally, they couldn't be preparing the wedding dress for someone else.

And at this moment...

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Lin Heng again, feeling that her brother was taller than ever before.

Pressing her red lips together, Lin Xiaoxiao asked, "Then... big brother, why did you say you could invest back then?"

"And even plan to use that two hundred billion from outside to make a move?"

This was also something Lin Xiaoxiao didn't quite understand.

After all...

Lin Heng clearly didn't want to use capital that might trap them, yet at the very beginning, and even close to the end, he insisted on trading with Wang Lin?

Wasn't that self-contradictory?

However, upon hearing this, Lin Heng just smiled faintly.

"Hahaha... That's simple..."

"It's purely that I didn't want to spend that money. Also... if that guy Wang Lin wanted to trap us at that time, we could just sell off. Even if we couldn't recoup much blood, at least it wouldn't be our own blood."

"Anyway, when we were communicating, didn't Wang Lin say it? He had no intention of taking this money back at all!"

"If we really took this money back for him, at most, it would only be the hard work fee for a few small targets, which is nothing compared to drawing blood—it’s like a mosquito's leg."

When Lin Heng spoke of this matter, the corner of his mouth curved slightly, revealing a cunning smile.

Heh... Hehe...

Upon hearing this, the corner of Lin Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched.

Good heavens!

It was indeed the big brother she knew!

She had thought Lin Heng was merely trying to make things difficult for the other party, or perhaps just issuing an impossible warning to him.

But she never expected...

This guy had thought that deeply from the very beginning!

So that's why nothing Lin Heng invested in ever resulted in a loss...

Because Lin Heng was fundamentally incapable of suffering a loss!

As for those who tried to trap Lin Heng, without exception, they were all fleeced by him!

Watching Lin Heng secretly enjoying himself alone, Lin Xiaoxiao pressed her red lips together, the corner of her mouth twitching slightly.

It really is big brother!

And at this moment...

A bus soon appeared ahead and stopped in front of the two of them.

Lin Heng quickly took Lin Xiaoxiao's hand and smiled faintly.

"Let's go, it's time for us to head back..."

Lin Xiaoxiao pouted.

She glanced at the person before her, who was even more cunning than herself, and snorted lightly.

Mm!

He was her brother, and that felt right!

Just as the two of them boarded, the people remaining behind looked at the backs of the two with complex expressions.

What big boss worth hundreds of billions, taking the bus??
