Li Kaiping's expression gradually turned grim, but he didn't say much. After all, he was just leading the team for now. Even if he was unhappy, it was the deputy director's business.
And in fact, after Li Kaiping relayed the matter to Deputy Director Lin, Deputy Director Lin's expression also turned unpleasant.
With a cold snort, he slowly said, "I need to know this person's background. How dare he disregard our Longcha Bureau and even bypass headquarters to interfere directly? Does he really think everyone will give him face?"
Li Kaiping nodded in agreement, "Yes, does he really think he can turn the world upside down? What a nobody!"
Li Kaiping had interacted with Ye Longlin three times, and each time Ye Longlin gave him a new impression.
The first time, at the airport, headquarters had called them to assist a major figure in apprehending a war criminal. They went, but before they could act, the target had already been dealt with, solving the problem that had been troubling them. Their role was merely to put on handcuffs.
The second time, at the Zhu family's residence, he single-handedly suppressed the family. No one dared to speak, and he even forced Zhu Lie, a veteran of many battles, to commit suicide on the spot. The entire Zhu family was effectively annihilated as a result.
During this third encounter, Ye Longlin again gave him the illusion of immense power, and he wondered if this illusion was real.
Meanwhile, on the school sports field.
Wang Dahai sat on the steps, lighting a cigarette for himself. Through the smoke, Yuan Gang noticed a look of desolation on his face.
"I was a star entrepreneur in Nan Province, rising from humble beginnings through my own efforts to establish a listed company. My Tianning Dairy became a household name. At its peak, Tianning Dairy was valued at ten billion yuan and became a listed company.
I once thought Lady Luck favored me, but I never expected to fall victim to a gambler's mentality. If it were just that, I would accept it, and today's events wouldn't have happened.
But it wasn't as simple as I imagined. Zexin Group was always the mastermind behind the scenes. From the moment I decided to gamble, Zexin Group's influence had already enveloped me, dooming me to a complete downfall."
As he spoke, they gradually came to understand everything that had transpired.
He had built his business empire, but sometimes, once you reach a certain position, the path forward is no longer under your own control. Someone else will push you along.
The involvement of the three major investment banks was a prelude to Zexin Group's intended takeover.
Wang Dahai hadn't expected a large group with no prior connection to him to target him, and to completely ruin him within a year.
Furthermore, he himself had spent half a year in the detention center. During this period, Zexin Group used all its connections to attack Tianning. Even the Nan Province authorities had approached Zexin many times, but they were still unable to stop it.
And now, not only did the CEO of Zexin want to completely eliminate him, but he also intended to frame Lin Tian'ai for everything.
Lin Tian'ai was merely a scapegoat put forward by the CEO of Zexin. It could only be said that Lin Tian'ai's appearance was far too coincidental.
"So, this is why you took the child hostage?"
Ye Longlin asked with a frown. Regardless of anything else, the little girl was innocent.
Wang Dahai shook his head and gave a bitter laugh, feeling like a fallen hero. In that instant, he truly seemed to have aged.
"If it were just this, I would accept it. After all, I'm just a nobody, unable to compare with these influential family scions. Their connections are beyond my comprehension.
But today, that beast actually took my daughter away and threatened me with her. He told me that if I didn't die, then my daughter would die first, and then I would follow!
Tell me, if your daughter were threatened like that, what would you do?"
The once spirited man was now in such a miserable state. It would be difficult for anyone to recover.
But Wang Dahai was not that kind of person. However, the other party had clearly grasped his Achilles' heel, leaving him no room to resist!
Ye Longlin pondered for a moment, "I would kill his entire family."
Upon hearing this answer, Wang Dahai was stunned. After reacting, he threw his head back and laughed heartily, "Hahahaha, good, very good! Kill his entire family!"
His laughter stopped abruptly, and his gaze fell on Ye Longlin with a hint of madness in his eyes.
"You said you would help me get justice, right?"
"If I want to kill his entire family now, will you stop me or not?"
"Since I can't live, then no one else should live."
Ye Longlin didn't reply, only grinned and reached out. Yuan Gang handed him a pack of cigarettes, took one out, and tossed it to Wang Dahai. "This is what a real man smokes."
Yuan Gang had already understood Ye Longlin's intentions. As his confidant, he had long since figured out Ye Longlin's temperament.
Things... seemed to be getting interesting.
Lin Tian'ai tugged at Ye Longlin's sleeve and quietly advised, "Ye Longlin, Nan Province is not Xingcheng. What if this causes too much trouble?"
It was clear that Lin Tian'ai had also guessed what Ye Longlin intended to do, but she hadn't expected him to be so ruthless as to truly shatter Zexin Group!
Ye Longlin glanced at her and replied normally, "Since they've done such things, they aren't afraid of retaliation. Besides, don't you want to cooperate with Zexin Group? This is a good opportunity, just change the name of Zexin Group's legal representative. It's very simple."
Lin Tian'ai's mouth twitched. 'Very simple'? Was this simple?
"Zexin Group's CEO is Liu Yidao, a direct descendant of the Liu family. While he's a member of an influential family, many people in Nan Province are unwilling to provoke him. Liu Yidao has no bottom line; he'll do any despicable thing. Many people in Nan Province even say Liu Yidao is the leader of thugs."
Having chosen to cooperate with Zexin Group, they had certainly investigated its background thoroughly.
This Liu Yidao was troublesome. Not only did he lack the demeanor of a scion of an influential family, but his behavior was more like a hooligan. However, it couldn't be denied that he was an absolute genius in the business world!
Wang Dahai burst into laughter, "Well said!"
"Since Heaven is not benevolent, what does it matter if I become a straw dog? The Liu family, by indulging him like this, should pay the price for their actions!"
Ye Longlin pursed his lips. He admired people like this—spirited and responsible!
If he were in the military, he might have been a good soldier!
"Let's go, it's time to watch the show."
