A symposium?
These three words piqued the curiosity of many. In the eyes of numerous individuals, this was a sign of capitulation from Yuanzhan Capital.
They had planned for so long and naturally wished to see results. This symposium, therefore, was naturally perceived as a gesture of goodwill extended by Yuanzhan Capital.
This matter also reached Ye Lin's ears.
"A symposium? It seems they're truly desperate. But this is for the best, let this event mark the beginning of the end for Yuanzhan Capital."
The Star City Business Alliance was indeed instigated by Ye Lin. The organizer of this alliance was his subordinate, more precisely, a member of a branch family of the Ye family in Nan Province.
However, no one knew that outside the Dragon Observation Bureau at this moment, a storm that would sweep through Star City was gradually taking shape, all because of one woman.
"Director Xu, please dispense justice, please dispense justice for my family. Thoroughly investigate this matter. You are the director of the Star City Dragon Observation Bureau, a person of high authority and great influence. Please, dispense justice for us. We merely offended someone from the Ye family, yet we are facing such a situation. It's unfair!"
"Ye Jian from the Ye family fancied me and wanted to force himself on me. What was wrong with me calling the police? But what happened in the end? He was released after just one day, and then my family was drenched in blood, with everyone except me dead. It must have been the Ye family. Please, dispense justice for me!"
Xu Dengkui had never imagined he would face such a situation, nor had he expected to encounter such a melodramatic incident.
"This is probably the first time in the entire Dragon Observation system, right?"
He sighed, "Get up. It's not that I'm not giving you justice, but the Nan Province Dragon Observation General Bureau has already set the tone for this matter. You betrayed Great Xia and colluded with foreign forces. A lot of evidence was found in your home. From all appearances, you are not wronged."
He had seen the woman before. She was a young woman from a minor family in Nan Province, named Fang Cunxin.
It wouldn't be entirely accurate to call it a minor family. The Fang family controlled mines and was a leading mineral producer in Nan Province. However, this family had few descendants. For reasons unknown, while the family members were healthy, they had very few offspring.
Similarly, the family was low-key.
This incident began when Fang Cunxin's father sent her to the company's business department to discuss cooperation.
The Ye Group was a large conglomerate in Nan Province, while the Fang family's mining group was only a medium-sized enterprise. Representing both sides were two young descendants.
Upon seeing Fang Cunxin, Ye Jian began to pursue her. However, after a full month with no progress, Ye Jian became enraged. He attempted to force himself upon Fang Cunxin, but before he could succeed, his attempt was discovered. In his fury, he massacred thirteen members of the Fang family.
Fang Cunxin escaped through a mine shaft and exposed the incident. However, upon investigation, it was discovered that the Fang family had colluded with foreign forces!
Fang Cunxin was released only because of insufficient evidence.
"The Nan Province Dragon Observation colluded with the Ye family to frame my Fang family, please..."
Fang Cunxin tried to say more but was repelled by an immense force. The martial energy of a scholar, emanating in golden hues, spoke with an authoritative gaze, "The Dragon Observation Bureau cannot bend the law for personal gain. There is no need to speak of such matters!"
Fang Cunxin fell to the ground. She didn't say another word, only casting a deep glance at the sign of the Dragon Observation Bureau before departing with a sense of desolation.
Xu Dengkui watched her retreating figure and let out a long sigh, "Think carefully before acting in all matters. Our ancestors taught us that darkness cannot last forever. There will always be someone willing to bear everything and bring the light."
"Fang Cunxin, I will take you to meet someone. If he is willing to dispense justice for you, the Fang family's grievances can be cleared."
...
Island Villa in the Lake.
Today was the most lively day since Ye Longlin arrived in Star City. Of course, this was from his perspective.
He was accustomed to being alone, taciturn. Even Xuan Niao and Yuan Gang were like this. They would report when there was something to discuss and either stand guard or survey the terrain when there was nothing. Over time, it had become their habit.
"Ahem, Boss, why don't you go over and chat?" Yuan Gang walked over and asked.
In the living room were Lin Tian'ai, Mu Hanqi, Diana, Xuan Niao, Yuan Gang, Wang Xiulan, and Mu Ye.
Ye Longlin merely shook his head, narrowing his eyes slightly. "Once you're done eating, pack up. We have guests coming."
Yuan Gang was taken aback, and shock immediately flickered in his eyes. He lowered his voice, "They say that once you reach a certain stage, you will have a premonition. Boss, have you taken that step? But Xuan Niao said your old injuries haven't healed?"
Looking at his boss's profound gaze, as if realizing something, he grinned, "Understood."
Ye Longlin went upstairs to make tea. The group downstairs was tidying up, while another group was playing cards on the sofa, seemingly having forgotten about the symposium scheduled in two hours.
"Dragon Observation Bureau's Xu Dengkui seeks an audience with Mr. Ye."
"Dragon Observation Bureau's Xu Dengkui seeks an audience with Mr. Ye."
"Dragon Observation Bureau's Xu Dengkui seeks an audience with Mr. Ye."
On the shore, Fang Cunxin looked at this director in shock. Even he could only address this person as "Mr." Who could he be?
He said he would take her to meet someone. If that person was willing to help, let alone clear the Fang family's name, they could even make Ye Zhuo's lineage disappear!
But how could there be such a person? Even if such a person existed, would they help a nobody like her?
For the first time, someone was willing to help, yet she found herself lost.
The next moment, an extremely imposing aura emanated from the island. That pervasive, kingly aura was unleashed, capable of astonishing anyone.
"Director Xu, please come in."
A small, simple boat stirred ripples as it appeared at their feet.
Fang Cunxin was still shocked by this power. When she stepped onto the simple boat, she discovered it moved without oars, taking them towards the island!
"Remember, you must be respectful when facing Mr. Ye."
Xu Dengkui had to admit that this young man, who was half his age, had already surpassed their generation of elders in terms of both strength and influence.
However, someone like Ye Longlin appeared only once in a century.
"Understood."
Her heart sank. It seemed she couldn't escape the fate of being toyed with. She could only hope he wasn't an old man. Never mind, as long as she could get revenge, nothing else mattered.
Soon, they stood before Ye Longlin. There was no longer any sound from downstairs.
"Xu Dengkui pays his respects to Mr. Ye."
Xu Dengkui bowed in a scholar's manner.
Ye Longlin nodded, "Sit down and taste the difference between my tea and yours."
Xu Dengkui felt awkward. He was hinting at something with his words. Last time Ye Longlin visited the Dragon Observation Bureau, he hadn't even been offered a cup of water, let alone tea.
Fang Cunxin glanced at Ye Longlin, then quickly lowered her head, remembering Yuan Gang's words, and stood to the side.
"Good bone structure." He then looked at Xu Dengkui, "Your woman?"
Xu Dengkui quickly waved his hands and said with a serious expression, "I am a mere scholar. I would never do anything that violates my conscience or morals. Mr. Ye, please do not slander my reputation carelessly."
