Lin Tian'ai looked at him in disbelief, her eyes filled with shock.
She hadn't believed Lin Langsheng was murdered before, but now, hearing it from Li Jihao, there was no room for doubt!
"Murdered? Niece, you shouldn't speak so harshly. What do you mean murdered? Would I, a dignified CEO, murder someone? Didn't Old Lin die a natural death?"
Li Jihao said with a vacant look, as if he truly knew nothing about the matter. However, the playful smile on his lips betrayed him.
Hearing this, Lin Tian'ai clenched her fists, her eyes glaring at him with anger.
She had already guessed the truth, so whether he spoke or not was no longer important.
"Out of respect for my friend, I've come today to ask when Old Lin's funeral will be. After all, as a friend, I should pay my respects."
He continued, narrowing his eyes, his words carrying a double meaning, clearly indicating that he intended to cause trouble during the funeral!
"No need," Lin Tian'ai replied coldly.
Li Jihao approached Lin Tian'ai step by step, his gaze playful. "How can there be no need? I am your father's friend. Is there some misunderstanding between us? Am I not even allowed to pay my respects?"
His eyes held a hint of teasing.
Lin Tian'ai's aura was no less imposing as she straightened her chest. "Don't say it's you, even I don't know where my father's funeral will be held. Ye Longlin is in charge of this matter!"
Upon mentioning Ye Longlin, Li Jihao instinctively took a step back, glancing at Lin Tian'ai with apprehension.
He knew very well who Ye Longlin was, and the people behind him had repeatedly warned him not to provoke Ye Longlin!
Although, he wasn't sure why.
"There will be news soon. I'd like to see where Ye Longlin holds the funeral."
With that, he snorted coldly and turned to leave.
If she hadn't mentioned Ye Longlin today, he would never have let Lin Tian'ai go!
After Li Jihao left, Lin Tian'ai sat on the sofa, her eyes vacant, and suddenly buried her face in her hands and burst into tears.
"Tian'ai... perhaps you truly misunderstood Ye Longlin... at least Li Jihao was very wary when he heard Ye Longlin's name..."
Meanwhile, on the other side, Ye Longlin was sitting in the reception hall of Mei Hua Group.
Yuan Gang stood behind him, his expression indifferent.
"Last five minutes. If your president doesn't appear, I'll go to the office and fetch her myself!"
Behind Mei Hua Group stood the Ye family!
And the instigator of all this was Ye Lin, from the Ye family!
Ye Lin, the daughter of the Great Elder of the Ye family.
Her ruthlessness was no less than that of any man!
"Sirs, our President Ye is truly not here. She's out for a meeting today."
The chief assistant was on the verge of tears. They had been sitting here since the two entered, waiting for Ye Lin to return.
But an hour had passed.
Ye Longlin snorted, "I'm running out of patience."
Yuan Gang understood and turned to leave the conference room.
Seeing this, the chief assistant quickly tried to stop him, "What are you doing? What do you intend to do? I warn you, this is within the group. If you try to force your way in, don't blame me for calling security!"
Yuan Gang turned back, a cold smile on his face. "If you don't want to pay additional medical fees, you can call security!"
The chief assistant was stunned, clearly not expecting such arrogance. Her expression darkened, and her tone became hostile. "I warn you, Mei Hua Group is backed by the Ye family of the capital. You'd better think carefully if the Ye family is someone you can afford to provoke!"
No one paid her any mind. Yuan Gang continued to walk away.
In the president's office, Ye Lin sat in her office chair with her legs crossed, a mocking smile appearing on her face. "Are they still waiting in the conference room?"
The second assistant nodded. "Yes, President."
Ye Lin sneered, "He was a loser back then, and he's still a loser now!"
"Since they're willing to wait, let them wait. I have nothing else to do today anyway."
The second assistant nodded, but just as she finished speaking, the door to the president's office was violently kicked open. Yuan Gang surveyed the room and silently walked in.
"Who are you? What are you doing?"
The second assistant reacted quickly, blocking Ye Lin and asking coldly.
"None of your business. Scram!"
Yuan Gang glanced at her coldly, then slapped her onto the sofa. His gaze fell upon Ye Lin, and he spoke indifferently, "You are Ye Lin?"
Ye Lin sneered, "What? Someone from Ye Longlin? You want to make a move?"
Make a move?
Yuan Gang's eyes held amusement. It had been a long time since anyone had spoken to him like that. It was quite interesting.
He moved swiftly, his hand clamping around her neck. Gripping her throat, he chuckled coldly, "I've already shown you respect. But if you don't show respect to the boss, then there's no need for me to show you respect!"
A cold glint flashed in Ye Lin's eyes. "You're seeking death!"
She unleashed a swift side kick, the whistling sound of her leg cutting through the air as it aimed for his head.
Yuan Gang was surprised. "Yo, you're a martial artist."
Ye Lin disdained, "Go back and tell Ye Longlin that the reason the Ye family hasn't made a move yet is because he's not qualified to make the Ye family move!"
Yuan Gang chuckled. He reversed his grip, catching her ankle and flicking it upwards. She flipped a full three hundred and sixty degrees in the air, her leg smashing down again from above!
The target was still his head!
"If this is all you've got, then I apologize!"
Yuan Gang didn't want to play anymore. The boss was already impatient.
He brought his palm down, striking her chest.
Instantly, Ye Lin felt as if she had been hit by a pendulum. She spat out a mouthful of blood, her spirit wilting.
He then grabbed Ye Lin by her hair and, without looking back, dragged her out of the office.
The second assistant's eyes widened, and she gasped.
Was this still the mighty President Ye? Now defeated and being dragged out?
If anyone saw this, where would President Ye's dignity go?!
In the reception hall, the chief assistant sat opposite Ye Longlin, her expression sullen and killing intent flickering in her eyes.
"Mr. Ye, although I don't know your background, you shouldn't be causing trouble at Mei Hua Group like this. You must have heard of the Ye family of the capital, so I advise you to leave obediently. Otherwise, when President Ye arrives, you won't even have the right to kneel."
"President Ye is a martial arts expert. If you fall into her hands, your fate will not be pleasant. So, I advise you to think carefully."
The chief assistant spoke with a pretense of concern.
However, at that moment, the door to the conference room was pushed open.
Yuan Gang dragged Ye Lin in and casually threw her down. "Boss, this woman just won't listen."
Chief assistant: "......"
