Gu Family Villa.
Gu Qingyuan's face was somber, and the atmosphere in the villa was exceptionally oppressive.
"Father, this matter was due to our poor investigation. We didn't know the Mu family was involved. According to the reports from the scene, Mu Hanqi and Ye Longlin met privately, which led to the failure of this operation."
Gu Chenjie's expression was also unpleasant. After a moment of silence, he sighed.
Xingcheng was the capital of Nan Province, a first-tier city, and the economic center of Nan Province, with an annual GDP exceeding 150 billion. Various forces were intertwined.
Although the Gu family was a top conglomerate in Xingcheng, in reality, they were insignificant in front of truly powerful individuals.
The Mu family was one of them.
The real big shots always kept a low profile.
"This matter cannot involve the Mu family, nor can it be linked to them. Let Xu Xiong's mistake stand. After all, they were just two useless people. We'll temporarily ignore Ye Longlin for now.
The Capital families will be arriving in Xingcheng tomorrow, and a banquet will be held tomorrow night. At that time, you will represent the Gu Group. As long as we can establish a cooperative relationship with the Capital families, this small territory will be under my, Gu Qingyuan's, control!"
Business circles rumored that Zhang Xiao and Gu Qingyuan divided Xingcheng in half, but who knew that this statement was deliberately released by hidden big shots to boost them?
"Understood, I will arrange it now."
Meanwhile, in the Lin family villa.
Lin Langsheng called Ye Longlin back for dinner and to discuss some matters. He had no choice but to come.
"Hahaha! Longlin, this girl has this kind of personality. I've spoiled her too much. You shouldn't take it too much to heart. I've already scolded her."
"I called you here today because there's something to discuss, mainly because the Capital families are heading south."
Upon hearing this, Ye Longlin's eyelids twitched.
Lin Langsheng's voice also deepened at this moment: "I know that matters in the Capital are a scar for you. I've already made arrangements. Tomorrow, you and Tian Ai will leave Xingcheng. I will sell Juling Group within three days, and all the money will be transferred to your account. It will be enough for you to live the rest of your lives..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Longlin interrupted him: "Uncle Lin, what has happened has happened. I have never said that I would avoid it. Since they have appeared before me, they can only surrender at my feet!"
"In the past, the Ye family could suppress everything. Today, I, Ye Longlin, alone am enough!"
The Ye family was one of the nine great clans in the Capital.
Ye Wushuang, a top martial arts expert, suppressed everything and was renowned.
Ye Dong, a top business magnate, headed international enterprises and controlled a commercial empire.
Ye Wenhan, one of the top three figures in the political alliance, a judicial magnate, impartial and incorruptible.
...
The Ye clan had stood for a hundred years in the Great Xia Empire, and their glory, if written into books, would take days and nights to finish reading.
By Ye Guohui's generation, it could be said that they had reached a new height.
However, Ye Guohui refused the family's arranged marriage and instead had a child with a commoner woman. This made the Ye family very angry, believing that Ye Guohui had disgraced the Ye family. After family discussions, Ye Guohui was expelled from the Ye family.
That night, Ye Longlin's mother was poisoned and died with unseeing eyes.
Ye Guohui raised him alone and didn't explain many things, but what could an organization like the Dragon Pavilion not investigate?
He already knew all these things on the day he was awarded the rank of Five-Star General.
"Don't worry, not a single person from the Ye family will escape."
For the first time, hatred and killing intent appeared in Ye Longlin's eyes. Lin Langsheng could only sigh helplessly.
"Anyway, I won't be able to see it. At most, I have two months left. I just want to see you and Tian Ai living well. That's enough."
He and Lin Tian Ai living well?
Under the current circumstances, if Lin Langsheng died, they would have to divorce!
Ye Longlin also fell silent.
Soon, Chu Xiulan and Lin Tian Ai came out of their rooms and started eating at the dining table.
"Tian Ai, you will go to the banquet tomorrow with Longlin. Although we can't secure the cooperation with the Ye family, it's not bad to get to know them."
Although Lin Tian Ai didn't want to bring him, her father's orders were paramount, so she had no choice but to agree: "Okay."
After dinner, Lin Langsheng asked them to go out for a walk. Both of them were helpless.
"Ye Longlin, I don't know how you managed to fool my dad, but I'm telling you clearly, I, Lin Tian Ai, will never marry a mere prison guard. You..."
Before Lin Tian Ai could finish speaking, Ye Longlin interrupted her.
He sneered, "You think too highly of yourself. Do you really think a bit of beauty allows you to do whatever you want? To put it bluntly, if you didn't have the Lin family's identity, what would you be?"
"And you look down on prison guards? If you didn't have the Lin family's identity, with your looks, you would only be a plaything for the upper class. What qualifications do you have to look down on people?"
"Uncle Lin is in the late stages of cancer. Although he's unwilling to admit it, Uncle Lin has less than two months left. And I will only stay in Xingcheng for at most two months. When I prepare to leave Xingcheng, we will divorce then. It won't delay you from finding a rich master."
After saying that, Ye Longlin quickly left.
Lin Tian Ai stood there, completely stunned, her eyes red, and she yelled in the direction Ye Longlin had left: "Ye Longlin, you scoundrel!"
Ye Longlin had ruthlessly exposed her scar, presenting the brutal truth to her.
What would she be like if she didn't have the Lin family's identity?
What angered her the most was the last sentence, "It won't delay you from finding a rich master."
Was she, Lin Tian Ai, that kind of woman?
At the entrance of the residential area, in a Maybach.
Yuan Gang asked with some confusion, "Boss, since you and sister-in-law have no feelings for each other, why are you still helping her solve so many troubles? Moreover, this woman doesn't even know, and she still thinks others solved it. It feels a bit... ungrateful!"
Ye Longlin said expressionlessly, "I'm not helping her, I'm helping Uncle Lin, helping with that life-saving grace."
"Alright, let's go back. I'll give you half an hour. I want to know which members of the Ye family will be arriving in Xingcheng tomorrow night."
