Ye Longlin glared at her, saying ungrudgingly, "Hurry to the hospital for a check-up!"
Then he turned to Yuan Gang, "Investigate this Global Group."
Yuan Gang nodded. After sending Mu Hanqi to the hospital, Yuan Gang also received the news.
"Boss, the legal representative of Global Group is Qi Mingdao, who now resides in Villa No. 10, Administrative Tango Palace. According to the intelligence from Xuan Niao and Fang Cunxin, this Qi Mingdao should be the mastermind behind the attacks on the Dragon Investigation Bureau and Lin Tian'ai. His itinerary has been traced; he went to Global Group an hour ago.
As for Lin Gong Group, they went to the construction site also an hour ago. These two events should be related. The specific timing was after Qi Mingdao arrived at Global Group, and Lin Gong Group appeared at the construction site twenty minutes later."
Ye Longlin nodded, "Head directly to Global Group and have a word with this Qi Mingdao."
Global Group is located in the west of the city, near the mountains. After years of development, it has become a special economic zone. In this area, there are many companies, and office buildings stand tall, like a steel jungle.
Global Group is situated in the very center.
Ye Longlin went straight to the front desk of Global Group and said, "I'm looking for Qi Mingdao."
The receptionist quickly asked, "May I ask who you are?"
"Ye Longlin from Yuanzhan Capital."
The receptionist picked up the phone and dialed. Soon, she received a reply, "Mr. Ye, this way please. Director Qi is waiting for you in his office."
Outside the office on the thirtieth floor, men in black suits, wearing sunglasses, and with stern expressions stood guard.
As Ye Longlin entered the office, a hint of disdain flickered across their lips.
Upon entering the office, Ye Longlin's first impression was its vastness. In the center stood a sculpture of a fine horse, maximizing the natural light.
The finest Wujin stone tea set and Zisha teaware, all exuded high class and expense.
"Mr. Ye, please have some of this premium Da Hong Pao that was just delivered."
Qi Mingdao was a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, around fifty years old. He had a thin face and a beard, giving him an air of scholarly refinement.
"No need for tea. I heard Lin Gong Group is backed by Global Group, so I came to see this behemoth in Xingcheng. To have people cause trouble at my construction site and force my secretary to sign for changing suppliers, Director Qi, this is not a good move."
After Ye Longlin sat down, a smile played on his lips. He took out a pack of cigarettes, black and white Panda, and threw one to him.
Qi Mingdao looked at the black filter and white cigarette, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, "Special reserve Panda cigarettes. Even with my status, I've only smoked them once, given to me by Young Master Wang."
From the moment Ye Longlin entered, the battle of wits between the two had begun.
Ye Longlin struck first, using the construction site as an entry point, and then bringing out the special reserve cigarette to highlight his background. Qi Mingdao retaliated by invoking Young Master Wang of the Wang family as his background.
"If you want some, I can send you a case," Ye Longlin said with a chuckle.
Qi Mingdao's eyelids twitched. To be able to say this proved that the other party's background was no less than that of Young Master Wang.
"Is Mr. Ye's intention that your subordinates were ignorant and caused trouble for Mr. Ye? To be honest, I'm not aware of this matter. Everyone in the Xingcheng business circles knows that I, Qi Mingdao, have withdrawn from company operations, and everything is handled by Vice Director Zhang.
How about this, I'll have Vice Director Zhang come over to explain to Mr. Ye. I only come to the company once every ten days to half a month, so I truly don't know about such things. If it caused Mr. Ye any trouble, I'll host a dinner at the Sky Restaurant tonight and personally apologize to Mr. Ye."
Qi Mingdao picked up his teacup, his other hand supporting the bottom, his intention quite clear – to apologize to Ye Longlin.
No one in such a position was foolish, nor would they offend someone without reason.
"No need for apologies. I came because I was afraid it might damage the harmony between our two families. But what I want to know is, what is the relationship between Lin Gong Group and Global Group?"
Ye Longlin said slowly, with his legs crossed, exhaling a puff of smoke.
Qi Mingdao pondered for a moment, "Just a cooperative relationship."
Just as Ye Longlin was about to speak, his phone rang. He got up to take the call.
"Mr. Ye, something else has happened at the construction site. All the construction vehicles under Lin Gong Group have surrounded our site entrance, at least three hundred vehicles."
Mu Hanqi's voice was anxious. He was still in the hospital, but he received a call from the construction site.
Ye Longlin asked, "Where are you?"
Mu Hanqi was stunned, "I'm in the hospital. Don't worry about me, hurry and find a solution! They said they'll block it if we don't agree to change the supplier. Anyway, it's us who will bear the losses."
"I understand. You don't need to worry about this matter. Focus on your recovery."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Longlin returned to the office and proactively said, "All of Lin Gong Group's construction vehicles have surrounded our construction site in the east of the city. This matter shouldn't have anything to do with you, Director Qi, right?"
Qi Mingdao shrugged, feigning innocence, "Mr. Ye, I haven't left your sight. My phone is on the desk. This has nothing to do with me."
Ye Longlin laughed heartily, "Director Qi, do you dare to come with me to watch a good show?"
Qi Mingdao pretended to be serious, "Mr. Ye won't eat me, will he?"
"Hahahaha."
Meanwhile, in the command office of the Xingcheng Garrison Command.
"Hello, I am Zhou Wuwei, Commander of the Xingcheng Garrison Command," Zhou Wuwei said casually into the phone.
"I am Yuan Gang from the Dragon Pavilion. I am now conveying an order: Dispatch the armored regiment to the east of the city for military exercises, equipped with live ammunition. All construction vehicles outside the site are to be destroyed."
Upon hearing the words "Dragon Pavilion," Zhou Wuwei immediately stood up and replied, "Yes, I guarantee the mission will be completed!"
After hanging up the phone, he immediately dialed to issue the order and personally went to oversee it.
On the other side, Ye Longlin and Qi Mingdao had already driven to the rooftop of a building, from where they could clearly see nearly half of the construction site in the east of the city.
Qi Mingdao asked with confusion, "Mr. Ye asked me to watch a good show, and it's just standing on the rooftop in the wind?"
Ye Longlin chuckled, glanced at his watch, "No rush, it'll be soon."
Qi Mingdao's expression faltered; it was a tactical watch.
For some reason, a strong sense of unease crept into his heart, yet he couldn't pinpoint its origin.
Perhaps it was Ye Longlin's composure that made him feel something was amiss?
As they were talking, colossal steel beasts suddenly appeared below, or rather, they could be called steel beasts because they were extremely massive and violent machines!
Tanks!!
Ye Longlin said with a smile, "Director Qi, you probably haven't seen a tank fire a cannon, have you? Today, I'll let Director Qi witness the power of a tank.
This is a rare sight. On television, it's all fake; the power cannot compare to the real thing. Director Qi, take a good look, this is a scene many people dream of."
