Chapter 1743 Sheer Hostility
There was a flash of warmth in Byron's eyes as he witnessed the warm atmosphere inside.
"Byron, do you really not want to go in?" Andrius urged, seeing the change in his expression.
Byron's face darkened. "No, not until Xander is finished."
Only after Xander paid his dues, could he sit beside that little woman with peace of mind.
He might be softened and hold back because of that little woman if he went in now.
Andrius knew what his buddy was thinking, so he stopped persuading him. He glanced at his phoneand said, "The plan has already started."
Byron's eyes darkened like he was dissatisfied with the original plan. He pondered for a moment, andsaid coldly, "After this, Lawrence and Quirke will join forces to attack Lancer's stocks abroad. Then,we’ll release the news to all the other local institutions and abroad, join forces to bring down Lancer'sstock price."
Andrius nodded in agreement and immediately began to order his assistants to do it.
One o'clock after midnight.
There was another uproar on the Internet.
[Explosive! The Century-Old Lancer family falsified its operating profits and deceived shareholders!]
[Lancer's stock price is inflated! The market prospect is bleak!]
[......]
Every kind of negative news about the Lancer Corporation broke out.
Some people even started to physically attack Lancer Corporation employees.
"The Lancers are fakes. The annual free clinic is just a publicity stunt, yet this year's medicine is gettingmore and more expensive!"
"The audacity to still claim to be a century-old medical family! Their quality is mediocre at best. All theycare about is profits!"
“......”
Many of Lancer’s stockholders lost sleep as they looked at the unfolding scandal and the stock market.
In just one hour, under pressure from all parties, Lancer’s stock price plummeted by 65%!
And it kept crashing!
The stockholders wanted to sell in a hurry but to no avail. Some even had heart attacks from thefrustration!
Soon, the group of stockholders joined the public opinion and cursed the Lancers.
Overnight, Lancer's century-old legacy and stock price fell to the bottom.
Panic continued to spread.
In the middle of the night, Old Master Lancer had just fallen asleep when he was awakened by franticknocking on the door.
For the past few days, Xander first sent the old man back to North City. Then, Xander worried that theold man would treat Rosalie in person, so he sent people to take the old man back to the AncestralResidence and put him under strict surveillance.
This was equivalent to putting the old man under house arrest.
The old man has lived longer than most. When has he suffered this kind of grievance?
However, the Lancer family's executive authority was no longer in his hands. The old man just enduredit, living like the walking dead, no matter how angry he was.
When the old man heard the knock on the door, he thought that Xander had come back to brainwashhim again. He turned over and ignored it.
Immediately afterward, the bodyguard's voice sounded.
"Master, someone is looking for you downstairs."
‘Someone looking for me?’
Old Master Lancer slowly got up from the bed.
‘Xander hardly allowed me to see anyone as a precaution.
‘What's going on now?’
He staggered to the door, opened it, and was about to ask the bodyguard who was looking for him, buthe heard the commotion from downstairs.
"Where is Xander? Tell him to come out! He must give us an explanation today!"
"Come out, that Lancer brat! If you don't come out, we won't play nice anymore!"

This tone was sheer hostility.
Old Master Lancer's heart sank slightly, and he glanced at the bodyguard suspiciously.
Speechless, the bodyguard lowered his head guiltily.
