Xi Empire flipped Bao Hwa's stocks for five times, that did surprise Lin Jing. She thought triple was already the maximum, but they increased the price again following her counter-attack. This went to show Xi Empire's desire to fight to the death with her.
Earlier, Lin Jing had confidence to take down Xi Empire, but now, her confidence was slightly shaken. After all, Bao Hwa's capital was indeed far lower than Xi Empire's.
If she continued to increase the purchase price, the other shareholders would definitely step in. Even though, she had a few that definitely stood on her side and she held the most stock, but she couldn't just ignore the shareholders' opinions.
However, if she didn't increase the price, Bao Hwa would be stuck in an awkward situation. If she had stopped the first time around, things wouldn't have been so difficult. She didn't expect Xi Empire to respond so quickly to her retaliation!
