Ye Longlin stood at the very top, gazing upon the southern province’s scenery, truly feeling the sense of "standing on the peak, all mountains are dwarfed."
However, the construction of this peak was meant to remind people of the hard-won peace of today, and also to remind them that the peace of Great Xia was achieved through their struggles!
“This incident has united the entire southern province. Perhaps it’s a good thing. Of course, it might also lead to a rebound for the southern province. It’s hard to say if this is good or bad.”
Returning to the villa from the memorial monument, Ye Longlin sat on the third-floor balcony, sipping tea and contemplating the day’s events.
In the pinned large group chat on his phone, many people were inquiring about the matter. This group primarily consisted of influential figures from the capital.
After all, in this technological era, it wasn’t strange for them to have a large group chat.
“What exactly is the situation with the memorial monument? This matter has been brought up at the highest levels. Although today’s incident wasn’t major, its nature is extremely serious, and such things must be prevented!”
“Also, since you are in the southern province and hold significant power there, you must bear this responsibility. Furthermore, you need to resolve your own issues. I don’t want to see such incidents occur after you return to the capital, understand?”
The group administrator suddenly spoke, causing the group to fall silent.
Ye Longlin simply replied with two words: Understood.
Then, putting down his phone, Ye Longlin turned to Yuan Gang and asked, “The Zheng family hasn’t made any moves?”
Yuan Gang shook his head helplessly, “The Zheng family has indeed made no moves. By the time we returned from the memorial monument, the Zheng family had already evacuated the southern province. Perhaps they left as soon as they received the news.
If you ask me, the Zheng family is very clever. They left when they realized this matter was unavoidable. That is the approach of intelligent people.”
Xuan Niao let out a sneer, “The Zheng family has far greater connections than the Tian family. Or rather, the Tian family’s influence and control over various regions are not as extensive as the Zheng family’s. The Zheng family’s strategy of forming alliances has placed their people in many think tanks across Great Xia.
This is the most troublesome aspect. Many of these think tanks have Zheng family members. In terms of personal connections, apart from a few families in the capital, very few families can rival their network.
Moreover, for them, this matter is about knowing when to act and when not to, especially since there are no Zheng family members on the roster.”
The Zheng family was smart enough not to get involved in such matters or do anything detrimental to them. Participating in such affairs would undoubtedly cost the Zheng family a considerable price.
“Is that Tian Yifei dead?”
Mu Hanqi skipped downstairs from the upper floor. She sniffed lightly and immediately detected a strong scent of blood.
With her intelligence, she could infer many things based on Ye Longlin’s past methods. Smelling the blood on him, she immediately guessed.
“He’s not dead, but he’s in a state worse than death. He’s currently suppressed at the memorial monument by the boss.”
Mu Hanqi shrugged her shoulders and asked curiously, “Then why didn’t you kill him?”
“Some people find living more painful than dying. Alright, you’re not even attending to the business department anymore. What are you doing at home all day?”
Ye Longlin rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache. This girl was always pestering him. If you asked if she was annoying, she wasn’t really.
This girl.
“Lin Tian Ai is there. The business department has already been merged, so I don’t need to go anymore. Besides, I’m now a shareholder of the new company. The business department was incorporated two days ago.
So, I’m currently a capital shareholder and don’t need to go for now. Besides, even if my investment fails, there’s still you. You can support me.”
After speaking, Mu Hanqi suddenly reacted, propping her chin with her hands, a playful smile appearing on her lips as if she had remembered something.
“Hey, woodblock.”
“You don’t want to support me, do you? Let me tell you, I’m so good-looking and beautiful, there are many people who want to support me. I’m giving you an opportunity here.”
Mu Hanqi tilted her small head, her eyes wide open, as if saying, this is me giving you face.
Ye Longlin chuckled, rubbed Mu Hanqi’s small head, and said helplessly, “Fine, I’ll support you, alright?”
Mu Hanqi then patted Ye Longlin’s shoulder triumphantly, her face beaming with joy.
“Your answer satisfies me. By the way, Little Ye, what am I having for dinner?”
Ye Longlin rolled his eyes and said grumpily, “You.”
Mu Hanqi immediately beamed with joy, “Great, great! Come on then, I’ll go take a nice bath and wait for you, okay?”
Ye Longlin: “……”
Mu Hanqi was even more eager, even with a hint of excitement, “Hey, woodblock, what’s the verdict? Want some? I thought you were a saint, staying away from women all the time. I didn’t expect you to joke around too.”
It was truly rare for the woodblock-like Ye Longlin to make a joke.
Ye Longlin ignored her. Xuan Niao was busy in the kitchen, and Yuan Gang was outside clearing weeds in the yard. Ye Longlin sat on the sofa, watching the real-time news reported by Hanshan today.
Several great national generals were actually doing trivial matters here.
“Hey, I’m talking to you, are you listening?”
Mu Hanqi was chattering beside him, distracting Ye Longlin from his reading.
“Alright, do you know you’re like a kitten waiting for its owner to come back, meowing incessantly as soon as they arrive.”
Mu Hanqi blinked her eyes, a light shining from her innocent gaze. She chuckled, “If I’m this little cat waiting for you at home, would you be willing?”
Ye Longlin was defeated by her innocence and felt speechless for a moment. He pushed her leaning head back.
“If you’re willing, I can be your little cat forever. There are also those kinds of little cats… hehehe, oh.”
……
At the same time.
Shi Hao and Shi Yi sat in the living room, both with gloomy expressions.
“The Tian family has intervened. Can’t they do anything about him? Or is Ye Longlin’s identity truly someone we cannot afford to offend?”
The current situation was somewhat troublesome. As of now, the situation in the southern province was not optimistic because the situation was quite clear.
“The Zheng family has already withdrawn from the southern province, and the Tian family is almost wiped out here. However, Tian Yifei is currently suppressed at the memorial monument. The Tian family will definitely not let this matter rest, and the more exciting part is yet to come.”
“Indeed. The Tian family, as the uncrowned kings, will certainly not give up so easily. And now, the most difficult part is that the Zheng family has confirmed they will not get involved, which is the most troublesome.”
