Nine-Colored Lotus

Chapter 174 Targeted

The butler's face looked grim as he watched him, "You released all these catalysts, wanting to find out who is behind Fang Tianci. Now that I'm here, you can investigate. Mr. Ye has impressive methods, but has Mr. Ye ever considered what would happen if you couldn't handle it?"

He too had figured out Ye Longlin's reasons for doing all this.

"Since you've guessed it, you also know that you definitely can't protect anyone today."

Ye Longlin spoke slowly, as steady as Mount Tai.

The butler stared at him coldly, as if trying to imprint his appearance into his memory.

"Let's go!"

Knowing that it was impossible but doing it anyway was foolish.

The butler left without hesitation. The situation had escalated to this point, and there was no need for him to linger here any longer.

He also had to report back to his master to see how this matter should be handled.

Ye Longlin watched the butler's retreating back, his eyes narrowed slightly. He asked casually, "Have you seen him?"

Xu Dengui shook his head, "No, I haven't, but strangely, I feel like I've seen him somewhere, yet I can't recall. He looks familiar."

"Detain him for now. Find a breakthrough from Fu Mi. Within 24 hours, Fang Tianci must be convicted. Even if a conviction isn't possible, we must find a chain of evidence."

Xu Dengui nodded solemnly, "I understand."

After arranging matters here, Ye Longlin left and returned to Yuanzhan Capital to handle internal company affairs.

Earlier, he had asked the demolition project team from Yuan Gang's company to come over, but not a single person appeared. It was clear that someone was colluding.

It made sense, after all, with such immense profits at stake, who could ignore it?

"Just letting him go so easily, isn't that too much?"

Yuan Gang started the car and asked.

This butler's background was certainly not simple, and he himself had said that he was backed by a vast interest group.

Fang Tianci was propped up by them, solely to facilitate their projects. Of course, it wouldn't be that simple. If it were just that, it would be better to offer gifts.

After all, it was too difficult to prop someone up.

"What if there's more than one Fang Tianci?"

Yuan Gang was silent for a moment, understanding Ye Longlin's meaning. He turned the car back towards the company.

Upon returning to the company, Ye Longlin immediately had the current head of the demolition team fired. As for who would become the new project leader, it had nothing to do with Ye Longlin. Mu Hanqi could make the arrangements as she saw fit.

Yuan Gang went to investigate the butler's background. The butler's background was still unclear and needed thorough investigation.

Meanwhile, at Administrative Palace Villa No. 10.

The butler returned and quietly walked to the study door, knocking softly.

"Sir, Ye Longlin is refusing to release him, and we can't protect him. It seems they are truly determined to dig up the dirt behind this."

"If Fang Tianci can't hold out and speaks, it will be detrimental to us, so what do you think..."

Qi Mingdao looked at the butler in front of him, his expression unchanged, as if he had long expected this. In front of him were all the things Ye Longlin had done recently. By inferring Ye Longlin's personality and methods from these actions, it wasn't difficult to guess.

Qi Mingdao pondered, looking at the sunlight outside, and slowly said, "Only the dead can keep secrets."

The butler respectfully replied, "I understand. I will have Ghost Blade take action."

Qi Mingdao waved his hand, as if remembering something, "Right, go to Plum Blossom Group. Since Yuanzhan Capital doesn't want to cooperate, there's no need to keep it."

"Yes, sir."

Qi Mingdao's pen fell onto Ye Longlin's file, with a hint of confusion, "On the surface, he's just a member of the Green Army Council, but just a council member wouldn't warrant such treatment from Xu Dengui. After all, he's from the Xu family."

No matter what, people from the Xu family wouldn't bow so subserviently. Their so-called scholarly pride would absolutely prevent them from bowing to anyone.

Yet Xu Dengui had bowed. This was something he couldn't understand.

"It seems Ye Longlin's identity is by no means simple. We must attack from both sides, or it will be difficult to resolve."

Ghost Blade, an S-class war criminal.

No one knew what he had done, only that he had escaped from Prison No. 1 in the capital. He had killed many people during his escape.

Only after the construction of Mobei Prison was completed was he transferred to Mobei Prison.

At this moment, Ghost Blade, dressed in a gray suit, stood on the rooftop of a skyscraper. The wind howled past, and his long hair fell to his chin, covering one eye. He looked somewhat wicked.

"It's been too long, sunlight."

"Let's add some color to this boring life."

Saying that, he jumped backward from the rooftop, picked up his backpack, and quickly assembled a sniper rifle, setting it up on the rooftop. He looked at the opposite Juling Group and lit a cigarette.

"Let me guess, after this shot, will you be able to escape the Juling Group?"

He said, and pulled the trigger.

Inside Juling Group, Lin Tianai was in the finance department, looking at the fluctuating lines representing Juling Group with an unhappy expression.

Plum Blossom Group had already started targeting Juling Group, and Diana was also targeting Plum Blossom Group.

The stock market fluctuations of the two companies directly affected the local stock market of Xingcheng. Countless stock investors cried out in agony, but some investors thought of something and quickly bought stocks at the lowest possible price, then sold them when they rose.

However, most investors would not do this because they lacked the courage. If they lost, they would be ruined.

"Now both sides want to short the other's stock. These petty tricks have been played countless times."

Diana's lips curved into a playful smile as her hands flew across the keyboard.

"Can we trap them for a hundred billion before closing?" Lin Tianai asked, slightly relieved by the current situation.

Diana glanced at her, "Miss Lin, are you looking down on me?"

"Bang!"

Suddenly, the computer screen went black. A bullet spun rapidly, piercing the screen, landing on the mouse, penetrating the desk, and hitting the floor.

"Attack, attack, there's a sniper!"

Someone in her team suddenly stood up and shouted. Just as he was about to run, a bullet pierced his heart, killing him instantly.

Diana's pupils contracted. She turned and grabbed Lin Tianai, rushing outside.

"Contact Mr. Ye and get out of here!"

Diana had experienced such scenes before, and these were considered minor incidents. The scenes she had experienced before involved flying bombs, where she could lose her life at any moment.

So, these minor incidents did not cause her to panic.

Upon hearing Diana's words, Lin Tianai dazedly nodded, then took out her phone and dialed Ye Longlin's number.

"Ye Longlin, we're being targeted. Diana said the other side has a sniper!"
