Chapter 98: Angkor, You Dog Thief! I Will Never Share the Sky with You!

"Brother Ye, something big happened while you were away!"

Lin Beifan sighed, looking deeply troubled. "Some foreign companies attempted to steal our internal investment information, so they bribed our employees—16 people in total, from regular staff to middle management! I always treated them well, but they still betrayed me and stabbed me in the back! Do you know how heartbroken I was?"

Ye Xingchen's eyes lit up with anticipation. The best outcome would be Lin Beifan losing three billion… No, even ten billion! That would make my time lying here worthwhile!

"And then?" he asked eagerly.

"Then..." Lin Beifan patted Angkor's shoulder with admiration. "It was our Brother Wu who first discovered the issue while he was cleaning! Not only is he smart, but he's also righteous and decisive. He exposed them immediately, helping us recover a significant portion of our profits while preventing further losses!"

Lin Beifan shook his head, still in disbelief. "If it weren't for him, I can't even imagine how much damage the company would have suffered! Although Brother Wu doesn't have much education, he's incredibly loyal to our company! So, I promoted him on the spot! Brother Ye, do you think I did the right thing?"

"Yes… Yes, of course!" Ye Xingchen gritted his teeth, barely containing his fury. If people want to steal, let them steal! If they want to ruin the company, let them! What business do you have interfering, you damn grave robber?! If you're so bored, go pursue Liu Ma! No one will stop you! But why must you ruin everything?

"And that's not all!" Lin Beifan beamed. "Our Brother Wu also has exceptional treasure-appraising skills!"

He continued excitedly, "Just two days ago, he took me to an antique market to look for treasures. Thanks to his incredible skill, we found two priceless relics—one was a calligraphy scroll by Emperor Huizong of Song, and the other was a peerless artifact by Wang Xizhi! Their combined value exceeds three billion!"

Ye Xingchen's face darkened.

Angkor, you bastard… You're helping Lin Beifan make money?! Are you trying to level him up even faster?!

At that moment, Angkor clutched his chest.

"Brother Ye, guess how much I paid for these two treasures?"

"Their combined value is over three billion… You must have spent at least a few hundred million, right?"

"Wrong!" Lin Beifan shook his head proudly and held up two fingers. "I only spent 20 million! Haha!"

Ye Xingchen's expression turned even uglier.

A hundredfold profit?!

Even when I was at my peak, making billions through gold and crude oil trading, I had to use massive capital to achieve that! And you got the same results with just 20 million?!

He glared at Angkor.

You damn dog thief… I will never share the sky with you!

Meanwhile, Angkor was still nursing the pain in his chest.

Lin Beifan, oblivious to the tension, smiled brightly. "Now, Brother Wu is officially learning investment from me. He's incredibly talented in this field—no less than you, Brother Ye! With both of you by my side, our company's future is limitless!"

Ye Xingchen and Angkor forced stiff smiles.

"Haha… Of course…"

I just want to stab you right now!

Lin Beifan then took Ye Xingchen's hand warmly. "Brother Ye, without you, I wouldn't have been able to earn money so quickly! Recover well—I look forward to your triumphant return!"

"Mr. Lin, don't worry! I'll be back soon!" Ye Xingchen's sense of urgency spiked.

With Angkor helping Lin Beifan, he'll only grow stronger! I have to recover as soon as possible and stop him!

"You focus on getting better—I'll visit you again soon!" Lin Beifan said cheerfully before leaving with Angkor.

As they stepped outside, Angkor asked, "Mr. Lin, are we heading back to the company?"

"No, we're visiting another friend! He's not part of our company, but he's very important to me!"

Lin Beifan then brought Angkor to another hospital ward—Xiao Chen's.

After introducing them to each other, Lin Beifan started his usual act again.

Angkor was dumbfounded.

After being reborn, the genius doctor Xiao Chen actually became Lin Beifan's close friend and brother?

This guy stole your fiancée, and you still call him 'brother'?!

Xiao Chen was equally stunned.

After being reborn, Angkor, a damn tomb robber, actually became Lin Beifan's right-hand man?!

And you even helped him earn billions through antiques?!

Both men looked at each other and had the same thought:

Dog thief!

A sense of urgency welled up in Xiao Chen's heart.

With Ye Xingchen and Angkor helping him, Lin Beifan's rise will be unstoppable! I have to recover and take action soon! Otherwise, I might just lie here until the finale!

After finishing their visit, Lin Beifan left with a satisfied smile.

Meanwhile, in another city, the Dragon King Zhao Tian received an update:

"Angkor has successfully infiltrated Lin Beifan's circle, gained his trust, and is now about to learn investment from him."

In other words… Their plan had worked!

The Dragon King burst into laughter. "As expected of Angkor! He succeeded so quickly! I knew I wasn't wrong about him!"

"Congratulations, Dragon King!" his subordinates cheered.

"Give him 10 million! Tell him I'm very pleased—this is his reward!" Dragon King Zhao Tian said, feeling exhilarated.

This was the first major victory he had achieved against Lin Beifan!

In two lifetimes, no less!

If it weren't for the presence of his subordinates, he would have jumped up in excitement.

"Yes, Dragon King!" one of the men in black replied.

"Dragon King, now that Angkor has infiltrated Lin Beifan's side, should we proceed with the next step? We could have him leak critical secrets, allowing us to launch a precise attack!"

"Exactly! It's time to close the net—I can't wait to see Lin Beifan fail!" Zhao Tian's eyes gleamed with anticipation. "Contact Angkor immediately!"

"Yes, Dragon King!"

---

Meanwhile, Angkor received a message from the organization.

[Proceed with the next step. Leak any useful information.]

Angkor smirked.

No need to remind me—I was already planning to!

I've been wanting to take down Lin Beifan for a long time now.

[Starting tomorrow, I'll begin learning investment from him. Expect regular updates.]

[Understood.]
