Asked you to write a book, not to confess your criminal record!

December.

Although many parts of the Northern Hemisphere had stepped into winter, the region where the Morgan Group was located—a land interwoven with tropical and subtropical climates—still radiated residual warmth.

As the night fell, neon lights dimmed, the coconut and palm trees swayed gently in the breeze along the streets. Their shadows, elongated under the dim street lamps, stretched across the pavement and occasionally reached the walls of the buildings.

Morgan Group Asia-Pacific Branch, General Manager's office.

Yu Qin, wearing a black dress, with a melon-seed face, delicate eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and a gaze emanating an icy aloofness, clicked her high heels as she pushed open the office door, "Lucas, how is the public opinion fermenting now?"

Inside the office.

Lucas, with his neatly slicked back hair and a dark suit, held a phone and directed his subordinate, Hacker: "Do not let the public opinion lean entirely towards our side!"

"Are you stupid? If public opinion leans entirely towards our side, anyone can see that we are targeting Lin Chuan!"

"Exactly, immediately assign a group to post from Lin Chuan's perspective, stir up a heated discussion online; the more heated, the better. What we need is only public opinion, to use it to pressurize the opponent to take this matter seriously and ensure a fair trial, understand?"

...

Lucas cursed under his breath, put down his phone, and looked at Yu Qin, "These folks still need some training."

"By your tone, it seems like the trend is quite favorable?"

Yu Qin sat down, casually straightening her black dress's hem.

"Not bad, the initial plan has succeeded. Now, whether it's Lin Chuan's book review section or his forum, our people have taken over. In the international public opinion, we mostly hold sway. Many organizations and forces related to military weapons are paying attention to this absurd lawsuit," Lucas nodded.

Yu Qin agreed deeply, "Now, many peers have started taking this big news seriously. Just now, one of my clients, a Middle Eastern sheikh, was probing me about this matter."

As a strategist, Lucas felt somewhat proud.

He straightened his back slightly, his face carrying a hint of a smile, "It seems this situation, besides treating Lin Chuan harshly, could also serve as a publicity campaign for us!"

Yu Qin's lips curved upward, "Of course."

"How about the Sheikh's order?" Lucas asked.

"They have confirmed the order. They said they will sign the contract next month and also pay the deposit, specifically requesting 10 Remote Box-type Rocket Launchers," Yu Qin could not hide the smile on her lips.

The Sheikh was one of her most important clients.

Covered by a single cloth, but wealthiest in the world—this phrase was not just a shout into the void.

They had ample funds and were generous in spending.

While Haas Armed Forces hesitated over the Remote Box-type Rocket Launchers and couldn't make up their minds, the Sheikh simply grabbed 10 without bargaining.

Now only the contract signing next month remained.

"Your KPI this year will be above target!" Lucas's eyes revealed a hint of envy.

Within Morgan Group, factions were diverse, and entanglements were complex.

To balance these complicated interests, KPI was one of the most important metrics.

Put simply, the better someone's performance, the more benefits they could secure, and accordingly, the faction they belonged to would have a higher say.

Without doubt.

In military weapons business, Yu Qin held an astonishing level of influence at Morgan Headquarters.

If this time, she could leverage the heat from the lawsuit with Lin Chuan to completely establish her renown, not only in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, but possibly she could take control of the military weapons business even in regions like Northern Europe and the Americas.

Then, she would become the first global Arms Tycoon within Morgan Group!

Killing several birds with one stone!

Of course, Lin Chuan was just her stepping stone.

A web novel writer, oh no, an emerging small-time arms dealer, would be completely crushed under her foot!

"Once we win this lawsuit, I'm confident in acquiring an additional 5% of the arms market share in the Middle East, aiming to hit 30% next year!" Yu Qin was already envisioning the future.

Lucas adjusted his suit, bringing the conversation back to the lawsuit.

He said, "You've prepared everything at Sania Weapons Research Company, right?"

"Absolutely no problem, their Chief Designer, Stephen, will personally appear in court. Currently, a special team is particularly verifying Lin Chuan's military products," Yu Qin answered.

"And your good friend, Karl, he hasn't caused any problems, has he?" Lucas asked again.

"Absolutely no problems, without him, we couldn't have completed the technological infiltration of Lin Chuan's company. Now, everything is ready; we just need an opportunity," Yu Qin crossed her legs gracefully, leaned back in her chair, and held her coffee slowly savoring a sip.

Her demeanor was one of complete ease.

This plan was perfect to the point of being almost seamless!

She and Lucas had rehearsed repeatedly and couldn't foresee any possibility of Lin Chuan turning the tables! Find more chapters on empire

Except under one scenario: that the opposing party disregards public opinion and any consequences to protect Lin Chuan!

Clearly, that was impossible!

Even if they really protected Lin Chuan, that 30 billion was real hard cash, and for Lin Chuan, it would also be a fatal blow!

Enough to send him plummeting from heaven to hell!

Ring ring ring—

Yu Qin's phone started ringing.

The caller ID showed: Leo.

"Hello, my old friend, Mr. Leo, I'm always looking forward to continuing our collaboration!" Yu Qin swayed her coffee like swirling a glass of red wine, leisurely took a sip.
