Under the cover of night.
Upon receiving Ye Longlin’s orders, Yuan Gang came alone, without bringing anyone else.
It wasn’t that he didn’t trust his subordinates, but rather that staying on the mountain for extended periods was tedious, and he wanted to get out and move around.
"Nine Streams Courtyard, the most high-end villa in Chang'an. Detached houses all around. They're really rich, driving a Maybach 62s, top trim priced at over ten million yuan. Damn, when will I ever be able to afford one?"
Yuan Gang looked at the information in his hand, started the car, and drove directly into the Nine Streams Courtyard villa district.
The warriors of the Dragon Pavilion were all elite, king-level figures. Dealing with a civilian security system was as easy as pie for them.
Upon arriving, he parked the car on the road outside and spoke into his earpiece, "Begin taking over the surveillance system."
"Understood, boss. Preparing to take over the surveillance system."
"Surveillance system takeover complete. Boss, you can proceed."
After getting out of the car, Yuan Gang walked straight towards the Maybach, crouched down, and directly installed a timed incendiary device on the car's undercarriage. This incendiary device was custom-made and would only cause damage to objects within half a meter.
Having completed this, Yuan Gang calmly got back into his car and left.
Only after he had driven away did Yuan Gang press the red button.
"Boom!"
Instantly, flames soared into the sky!
A luxury car worth over ten million yuan was reduced to scrap!
Naturally, this explosion drew the attention of Tang Tianhao. He quickly went up to the rooftop, looked down at his vehicle, his face dark.
The explosion also drew the attention of the property management. After quickly extinguishing the fire, they checked the surveillance footage, only to discover that the cameras had gone dark at some point. In fact, for the past two minutes, the entire property management system had been taken over, inaccessible even from their backend.
Upon learning all this, Tang Tianhao's expression grew increasingly grim. The only person he could think of was Ye Longlin, as he had been in a dispute with Ye Longlin recently.
The explosion tonight was a warning and a declaration of war!
"Well done, Ye Longlin. Such skillful execution!"
"I never expected the Xia family to have such capabilities, but it matters not. Since the Xia family dares to provoke me, they will pay the price!"
"Issue an order, let people from both the underworld and the legitimate world gather at Juyi Mountain Villa. I want to see what other tricks this Ye Longlin has up his sleeve!"
The next morning.
Lin Tian'ai called, not to Ye Longlin, but to Mu Hanqi, as their previous relationship was not good, and direct contact might lead to speculation.
"Tian'ai, what made you think of calling me? How have you been? Have you found a man yet? Heh heh, keep looking for men, and if all else fails, having a child is fine too!"
"Scram, scram, scram! I don't have a vicious best friend like you. What kind of talk is that? I'm the woman who has rung the bell at Nasdaq. I'm your rich best friend, alright?"
Lin Tian'ai chuckled, beaming with pride.
Mu Hanqi, holding her child, smiled and said, "Right, why did you call me today? Don't tell me it's to distribute money, then I'd be delighted!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Lin Tian'ai's voice from outside the door.
"Mu Hanqi! Come out and receive your great young lady!"
Mu Hanqi rolled her eyes, holding the still half-asleep Yi Yi, and walked towards the door. As expected, Lin Tian'ai stood there with her hands on her hips, a smile on her face.
"Yi Yi, quickly greet them."
The little girl struggled to open her eyes, took a glance, and casually said, "Sister Lin."
Unmarried people are called 'sister'.
"Hey."
"Why are you in Chang'an? Are you here to investigate a project?"
Mu Hanqi led her into the courtyard and asked.
Lin Tian'ai replied with a hint of annoyance, "It's not like your man called me here without explaining the situation. What else could I do? Your and your husband's shares combined exceed sixty percent. How can a worker like me not obey the boss's orders?"
Mu Hanqi looked puzzled. She didn't know about this. Ye Longlin had already returned last night when she was asleep.
The elder also walked in from outside at this moment, wearing white training clothes. Seeing Lin Tian'ai, he smiled and said, "We have a guest?"
Lin Tian'ai quickly stood up and said, "Greetings, elder."
"Grandpa, this is some tonic I bought for you."
Xia Mingzhong waved his hand, "Since she's a friend of Xiao Qi, there's no need for all this formality. It's enough that you came. Please, sit. I'll go change my clothes."
"Leave Yi Yi to me. You two chat. By the way, where is that brat?"
Mu Hanqi said helplessly, "Just like you, as soon as he woke up this morning, he went for his morning exercises. It's like this every day. You can hardly see him in the mornings."
Xia Mingzhong nodded and walked inside with Yi Yi.
"I don't know what the situation is. He didn't tell me. He'll probably be back in a while."
The two women continued to chat. Half an hour later, Ye Longlin returned from his morning exercises. After showering in his room, he changed into a suit and asked his grandfather to look after the child today, as they had something to attend to.
"Let's go, I'll take you there."
Mu Hanqi looked bewildered, "I'm going too?"
"Otherwise?"
...
Tianqiong Chinese Network is located in a high-rise office building in the Xuanwu District of Chang'an. Upon hearing that Ye Longlin was coming to discuss matters, a conference room was prepared in advance, and he was waiting in the conference room.
"Third Uncle."
Upon entering, Mu Hanqi saw Xia Qingxie and immediately called out.
Xia Qingxie nodded, "Sit, please sit."
"Let's wait a bit longer, someone else hasn't arrived yet."
After waiting for another half an hour, Mu Ye pushed the door open and walked in.
"Dad!"
This scene made Mu Hanqi and Lin Tian'ai confused. What was going on?
"Patriarch Murong."
Hearing Mu Hanqi call him Dad, Xia Qingxie also quickly stood up and extended his hand, "Hello, I'm Xia Qingxie."
Mu Ye nodded, "Just call me Mu Ye, or Beiye."
Ye Longlin stood up at this moment and said, "I've called everyone here because there are some matters that are inconvenient to handle directly, so I need to join forces with all of you to launch a commercial attack on all members of the Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce."
"With Yuan Zhan Group as the main entity, and the Murong family and Tianqiong as auxiliaries, a new company will be established. However, this investment is massive, and in the end, the total investment in this commercial war could easily exceed a trillion. Once it exceeds this figure, the nature of the situation changes!
At that time, what was originally a scene of three families splitting the spoils could very well lead to the involvement of state-owned and centrally-controlled enterprises, making it difficult to divide the spoils."
