Nine-Colored Lotus

Chapter 24 Terrified into Mental Instability

In the darkness, the war criminal team led by Iron Fist suddenly felt a massive pressure!

Before they could react, they were all kneeling on the ground, their faces flushed red.

"Who! Who dares to ambush me!!"

Iron Fist roared furiously in the grass outside the factory.

"Snap snap snap—"

Lights then flickered on one by one. Iron Fist and dozens of others finally saw the scene before them, their eyes wide.

That person... that person was in the sky!

Yuan Gang stood imposingly and declared in a booming voice:

"According to the War Criminal Law, S-class war criminal number 798, and A-class war criminals 1319-1330, a total of 12 prisoners, have illegally escaped, causing serious consequences. They have violated Article 2, Clauses 3 to 8 of the War Criminal Law. This divine general sentences them to life imprisonment and confinement in the underwater prison!"

As his voice fell, he took another step.

"Boom!"

"Pfft—"

Iron Fist and the others spat out a mouthful of blood, their eyes filled with terror.

Meanwhile, Chi Long walked to Ye Chen's side, crouched before him, and disgustedly removed the smelly sock from his mouth.

"Young Master Ye, look. Your proud rescuer is now lying on the ground like a dead dog. Do you have any other thoughts about this?"

When one is in another's domain, one must bow their head.

Ye Chen's eyes were filled with extreme fear, especially after learning Ye Longlin's identity. He was so terrified that he felt completely dazed.

Chi Long said helplessly, "Boss, this guy is so scared that he's a bit mentally unstable."

Ye Longlin: "..."

And this is the Thirteenth Young Master of the Ye family?

"Clean up the mess."

Ye Longlin left directly. As for Gu Chenjie, who was still hanging in the air... let him hang.

After Ye Chen returned, he became completely deranged. No one knew what had happened. Under the Ye family's investigation, the Dragon Pavilion intervened.

According to their information, a divine general was involved. The Ye family did not dare to investigate further, and the matter was dropped.

However, this enmity was now forged.

"Gu Chenjie, right? I'm warning you, don't you dare say a word about what happened tonight. Otherwise, heh heh heh, your head might just get separated from your body. Understand?"

Chi Long cut the rope. Gu Chenjie fell heavily to the ground, his legs breaking immediately. Chi Long patted his face and smiled.

Gu Chenjie nodded in extreme fear, not daring to voice any objection.

...

In the Lin family.

"Haoran, quickly use your connections to find Longlin. If the Ye family really makes a move, Longlin definitely won't escape. Even if your uncle begs you, he's still your brother-in-law!"

"Haoran, I know you all dislike this brother-in-law, but your Uncle Ye helped us so much back then. We can't just watch his descendant die now. Your Uncle Ye is already dead, and we can't be so ungrateful!"

Apart from Lin Langsheng, everyone else remained silent, not a single person speaking up for Ye Longlin.

After a long while, Lin Haoran finally sighed, "Dad, it's not that I don't want to help him, but he has already left. That elder guardian of the Ye family will definitely make a move. I am just a captain, and the Ye family is of a different caliber. I can't do anything."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure walked in from outside the door.

It was Ye Longlin.

"Longlin! Are you alright? Did that person from the Ye family do anything to you?"

Seeing Ye Longlin enter, Lin Langsheng hurried forward and examined him from head to toe, full of concern.

A warmth flowed through Ye Longlin's heart. Perhaps this was why he ignored everyone else in the Lin family.

"Uncle Lin, I'm fine. The Dragon Investigation Bureau intervened. A friend of mine was assigned to the Dragon Investigation Bureau here after retiring. Because Zhao Rong had a life on his hands, he was shot and killed when he made a move on me. Then, a notice was sent to the National Capital Dragon Investigation General Bureau, and the Ye family will not deal with me anymore."

"The notice should have been sent out by now."

Ye Longlin said with a smile, explaining the situation. There would be no further problems.

Lin Langsheng laughed heartily, "Hahaha, good, very good! If you survive a great disaster, you will surely have good fortune!"

Lin Haoran glanced at him and snorted, "It's just luck."

"Lin Langsheng, come out! Was all this your setup? I'm telling you, if you don't give us an explanation for this! You think you can acquire our shares with just five hundred million? What gives you the right!"

Before they could have a moment of peace, Lin Kang, grandly leading a group of senior executives, returned.

They had already bought their plane tickets and were about to board when they received the notice from the Dragon Investigation Bureau. After reading it, they realized that Juling Group was now out of danger.

Since Juling Group was no longer in trouble, their shares were worth more than five hundred million!

According to Juling Group's market value, their combined shares of over 52% were worth about 1.8 billion. Now, they expected to dismiss them with five hundred million? How was that possible!

"Juling Group is fine now. Return our shares to us. Who cares about your damn money!"

"That's right! Exchange our shares back for us. You're taking advantage of our misfortune!"

"Lin Langsheng, we have worked alongside you to build this empire for so many years, and now you want to dismiss us with five hundred million? You're dreaming! Return our shares to us!"

Not only Lin Langsheng, but even Lin Tian'ai was stunned.

Were these people so hypocritical?

When Juling Group was targeted, they couldn't wait to take the money and leave. Now that they were out of trouble, they all went back on their word and wanted their shares?

It wasn't that simple!

"You're going too far! You willingly signed the equity transfer agreement, and you took the money. What right do you have to come back and ask for shares now? Have some shame!"

Lin Tian'ai was trembling with anger, pointing at the group, her fingertips shaking.

Lin Kang adjusted his glasses and sneered, "Lin Tian'ai, are you fit to be the president? Listening to others' slander, you bought all the company's funds in shares of Xiaotian Group, but what happened? That money is still frozen, isn't it?"

"Now you've gotten into this kind of trouble. Do you think you're qualified? If you're incapable, hurry up and step down so I can be the president. Don't just occupy the position without doing anything!"

Upon hearing Lin Kang's words, the group all echoed his sentiments, accusing Lin Tian'ai of not being qualified to be president.

Lin Haoran's expression was also very unpleasant.

He couldn't easily interfere in the family's internal affairs, and he knew the temper of these people. If he stepped forward, they would surely tear him apart.

Moreover... he didn't understand business matters and couldn't chime in!

"This is quite interesting. Is this what you call family?"
