Chapter 540: Killing with a Borrowed Knife, Killing Two Birds with One Arrow

After Lin Lang walked out of Zhou Zhongdang's ward, he received a system prompt in his mind.

Ding! The universal entry system prompts: "Song Zhe, the former assistant of the host master Zhou Zhongdang, has now transformed himself into an antique dealer in Haihai City after conspiring with Liu Rusi to borrow seeds to cheat Zhou Zhongdang for seven years."

"Song Zhe's company, Dingbaoxuan Auction Co., Ltd. in Shanghai, appears to be a legitimate auction company, but in fact it has colluded with cultural relic dealers in Guangzhou and other places to form a criminal group that steals, buys and sells cultural relics. It has also colluded with cultural relic criminals in Singapore to steal and sell national cultural relics, causing a large number of cultural relics to be destroyed and lost overseas."

"At present, the warehouse of the smuggling den of Dingbaoxuan Auction House has newly received a batch of 22 bronze artifacts unearthed from the tombs of the Zeng State nobles in Hubei. They have illegally fabricated a false origin and circulation history for these unearthed cultural relics."

"They also set up an 'auction record file' and mixed the smuggled unearthed cultural relics with the legal cultural relics, transported and declared them together, and used the cover of the legal cultural relics to smuggle the unearthed cultural relics smoothly into Singapore for illegal profit.

"Song Zhe was the main culprit of the organized crime, but once the crime of smuggling the 22 unearthed bronze artifacts was verified, the sentence was already as severe as private execution."

"Nice!" Lin Lang snapped his fingers.

"First send Song Zhe to prison and sentence him to death, then I'll deal with Liu Rusi!"

An unruly smirk spread across Lin Lang's face. He did not leave the hospital in a hurry, but moved to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine to register. He adjusted the prescription and prepared two doses of decoctions for the mother of his high school classmate Wang Dayong who was suffering from lung cancer.

While waiting to get the medicine from the Chinese medicine pharmacy, Lin Lang called his secretary Gu Ran.

"Hello~Good morning, Boss!" Gu Ran's voice was sweet every time she answered a call from her boss Lin Lang.

Lin Lang ordered: "Go to a large supermarket and buy a few boxes of Ganoderma lucidum spore powder, and then buy a few boxes of high-quality bird's nest without additives, and then come to Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University to pick me up immediately."

"It's the BOSS." Gu Ran hurriedly did as he was told.

Lin Lang asked his secretary Gu Ran to buy these high-end nutritional products, not for his master Zhou Zhongdang. The Zhou family had no shortage of high-end nutritional products.

Lin Lang wanted to bring Chinese medicine and nutritional supplements to visit Zhou Shufen, the mother of his high school classmate Wang Dayong who was suffering from cancer, and to provide information to Wang Dayong, a criminal policeman.

Lin Lang's tactic of "killing with a borrowed knife" can not only capture Song Zhe, but also give Wang Dayong the opportunity to crack a major cultural relic smuggling case. It really kills two birds with one stone!

Not long after, Gu Ran drove his Volkswagen POLO "mistress car" to the hospital to pick up his boss Lin Lang, and went to the residential area where his high school classmate Wang Dayong lived.

Walking through the workshop, Gu Ran asked tentatively: "Boss, this community you asked me to take you to, isn't it to pick up new girls and cause love debts, adding new workload to me as the 'harem housekeeper'?"

Lin Lang looked at the beautiful secretary Gu Ran who was driving and replied, "No, it's my high school classmate's mother who is not in good health. I went to visit her as a junior."

"Oh!"

"So that's how it is. Boss, your high school classmate who lives in this neighborhood, isn't she a female classmate?"

Lin Lang smiled and replied: "Male classmate, what's wrong?"

After hearing this, Gu Ran drove while squinting his eyes and smiling: "Nothing, I just think that Boss, you should stop messing with your high school female classmates."

Lin Lang shrugged and said, "Why do you say that?"

Gu Ran said with a grin, "Boss, among your high school classmates, Zhou Mengyao, Ma Yili, and Han Zaiyin, three beautiful classmates have been won over by you now. You can't take all the girls in the class, right?"

After hearing this, Lin Lang had an unruly smirk on his face. He looked at the scenery outside the car window and said irrelevantly, "Order three bouquets of roses for me this afternoon. One for Cai Yinong, one for Mu Xueman, and one for Gu Keqing."

Gu Ran half-jokingly replied, "Boss, why not give everyone a bouquet of roses, too. Send Li Moli, Marry Yang, Li Meng, and the others a bouquet of roses."

Lin Lang snapped his fingers and replied, "Your suggestion is good, let's do as you say."

Gu Ran shook his head helplessly after hearing this. While driving with his eyes fixed on the road ahead, he jokingly said, "Boss, do you want me to buy you some kidney-tonifying supplements? Can your body handle this?"

"Hey……"

"You, the little secretary, are getting more and more presumptuous. You even dare to tease your boss about kidney deficiency, right?"

Gu Ran held onto the steering wheel and stuck out his tongue, laughing, "No, no, no, I don't dare, hehe..."

Lin Lang seemed to be very fond of his sister-in-law Gu Ran from his previous life. He just smiled and asked, "I asked you to find a stock acquisition operator to acquire the tradable shares of NetEase Migu. How are your arrangements going?"

"Boss, I have already hired an external investment bank to assist us in acquiring NetEase as you instructed."

"This morning, I, Mr. Zhang from the Legal Department, the M&A manager and the equity acquisition agent, made a series of plans for the strategic acquisition of NetEase."

"At present, our project planning for the acquisition of NetEase has been fully launched. We have even arranged a 'white knight' to conduct anti-takeover operations in the event that NetEase faces a hostile takeover by us, and have made plans for NetEase to launch a 'poison pill plan' and a 'scorched earth tactic'."

Note 1: A white knight refers to a person who is arranged by the company boss to block the acquisition of stock when the company is facing the threat of a hostile takeover. In other words, a person or organization who saves the company from an unfavorable takeover.

Note 2: A poison pill plan means that when the acquirer's shareholding ratio reaches a certain level, the existing shareholders of the target company will have the right to purchase the company's newly issued shares at a lower price, thereby diluting the acquirer's equity.

Note 3: The scorched earth tactic refers to the target company selling its own high-quality assets to make the acquirer lose interest.

After hearing this, Lin Lang snapped his fingers, a look of determination appeared on his face, and he said arrogantly: "I have decided to acquire NetEase. Even Jesus can't save NetEase's shares."

Gu Ran glanced at the boss Lin Lang and asked with admiration, "Boss, how do you succeed in love, business, and fighting?"

Lin Lang raised his chin with a curled mouth, and said with a smile: "Who told you, Boss, that I am the chosen one? The goddess of luck can give me a second child in three years."

"Ah~ My damn charm is unstoppable even if you try."

"If this were in ancient times, I, your boss, would have recruited soldiers, commanded the three armies, declared myself king, and unified the world!"

After hearing this, Gu Ran said sadly, "No, no, no, Boss. If you really become the emperor, with three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines, I, the harem housekeeper, will be so busy!"

Lin Lang raised his eyebrows, pretending to be thinking seriously, and then said jokingly: "Then you have to prepare well."

"Who knows, maybe one day the gate of time and space will open, and I will take you all, my beloved girls, back to ancient times and become the emperor. By then, you, as the housekeeper of the harem, will be very busy."

"However, I have many beauties in my harem, so you have to help me manage them and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Gu Ran curled his lips and said jokingly, "Boss, please don't joke about this. If our group really travels to ancient times, you have to give me a raise, otherwise I will quit as the harem housekeeper."

"I will be the emperor now, and you will definitely get some benefits when the time comes."

Gu Ran held the steering wheel and couldn't help laughing as he said, "Boss, if we were to travel back to ancient times and Miss Chu became the queen, I guarantee that one of your concubines and royal concubines would die inexplicably every three days in the palace fights."

"And the naive Imperial Concubine Zhou Mengyao will definitely be the first to go offline and die."

"Uh……"

Lin Lang said sadly: "No way? Is Chu Yiren so scary after becoming the queen?"

Gu Ran drove while grinning, "How is it? Boss, are you scared? Do you still want to go back to ancient times to be the emperor and take us to ancient times together?"

Lin Lang smiled bitterly and said, "Then when I take you all to ancient times, I won't bring Chu Yiren with me!"

"But Boss, are you willing to leave Chu Yiren alone and travel to ancient times with these beautiful girls, so that you will never see Chu Yiren again for the rest of your life?"

Lin Lang was immediately in a dilemma after hearing this. He frowned and said, "No, then I'd better not travel back to ancient times to become an emperor. Chu Yiren can't live without me. She will go crazy if she loses me."

Gu Ran was shocked after hearing this. Although she and Lin Lang were just teasing and joking with each other, she could tell from Lin Lang's words that he cared a lot about Chu Yiren.

So, Gu Ran jokingly said, "Boss, for Chu Yiren, you don't even want to be the emperor anymore?"

Lin Lang laughed at himself and replied: "You should know me. Although I love the country, I love beauty even more!"

"Boss, you said this because the Imperial Seal was not in front of you. After seeing the eight characters 'Received the Mandate from Heaven, May You Live Long and Prosper', I'm afraid you would banish Chu Yiren to the cold palace and become an emperor in ancient times without waiting."

As he was talking, Gu Ran had already driven the car into Wang Dayong's residential area.

As a time traveler, Lin Lang knew that time travel was real, so he said with a hint of worry: "Gu Ran, please don't let your words come true. I live a comfortable life in modern society. I don't want to take you guys back to ancient times to be an emperor."

"In ancient times, there was no electricity and no air conditioning, so the summer was so hot!"

Gu Ran smiled and joked, "Boss, you don't have to worry about the hot summer in ancient times. There are palace maids who will give you a cool breeze with a cattail leaf fan! If all else fails, you can also invent a generator and an electric fan."

"Haha, Gu Ran, you are such a naughty boy. Let's stop talking about this topic now."

"Building 28 in front is my classmate's home. Please park your car and wait for me downstairs. I'll go upstairs to visit Aunt Shufen and sit and chat for a while before coming down."

"Okay BOSS."

Gu Ran smiled sweetly, parked the car and hurriedly got out, took out the gift box of nutritional supplements she had bought from the trunk and handed it to Lin Lang.

After getting off the car, Lin Lang carried two gift boxes of Chinese medicine and nutritional supplements and slowly walked into the apartment building of his high school classmate Wang Dayong.
