This appearance suggested he was truly frightened by yesterday's interrogation. It was understandable, as a pampered young master who had always lived in luxury would never have experienced the pain of having a finger severed.
Wei Shaoting wasn't entirely foolish. After noticing Lin Yan's expression return to normal, he had guessed that Lin Yan might have been testing him.
But what if he had guessed? He didn't dare say anything more, only watching Lin Yan warily.
After circling for a bit and seeing that his intimidation had achieved its purpose, Lin Yan didn't linger. He turned and left the room.
"Young Master, Wei Ge is looking for you."
As soon as he exited the building, Lin Yan ran into a bodyguard who had come to report. Not long after, Li Wei arrived.
"Young Master, Ah Dong's operation went very smoothly. Last night, we eliminated many of the Wei family's strongholds and captured most of their important figures."
Ah Dong had been busy all night. The Wei family had too many businesses in Kimchi Country. It seemed they had established a fallback plan there a long time ago, otherwise, they wouldn't have invested so much effort in establishing such a large territory.
"Most of their important figures?"
Lin Yan understood the implication of those words – it meant some people had not been caught.
"However, Wei Lao San and Wei Shaoting's second uncle were not apprehended and are still being pursued."
Although Wei Shaoting knew about most of the Wei family's arrangements in Kimchi Country, he might not have known everything. Lin Yan had understood this beforehand and was prepared.
"Have you done what I instructed you to do?"
"It's all arranged, Young Master."
To prevent the Wei family from escaping again, Lin Yan had made thorough preparations before the operation. Although the method was crude, it was very effective.
Preemptively sealing off airports and waterways was something Lin Yan had arranged beforehand, but this method wasn't very effective.
This method could intercept private jets, but not commercial flights. The Lin family's manpower couldn't monitor commercial flights too closely, which was why the Wei family had managed to slip away from Huaxia before.
Relying on people to watch was far from enough. As long as the Wei family's connections could find a way to bypass Lin Yan's subordinates and get people onto planes, the screening would be useless.
To prevent them from escaping again, Lin Yan had arranged for many people this time, not to watch the airports, but to board the planes. Yes, to board the planes.
Lin Yan had arranged for trusted members of the Lin family to be on all flights departing to other regions for the next few days. There were his people on every flight. They would maintain contact throughout the journey. While it might be possible to evade surveillance during boarding, it was impossible to hide on the plane the entire time. They would eventually reveal themselves.
As long as the plainclothes Lin family members spotted them or lost contact midway, it would be a good way to track them down.
Lin Yan had even intensified the efforts. Anyone suspicious was not allowed to pass; they had to be reported. This was to ensure their complete eradication.
"Young Master, you are..."
"Go interrogate Wei Shaoting..."
Despite the thorough arrangements, Lin Yan still felt that this Wei Shaoting might have held something back.
...
Kimchi Country, a very remote airport.
This airport was located next to a village outside the city, surrounded by wheat fields and rice paddies. Although it was conspicuous and open, it was extremely remote.
Under the scorching sun, a small sedan worth about eighty to ninety thousand yuan slowly drove into the airport through the main entrance and then turned into a corner.
Under the cover of airport staff, Wei Lao San and Wei Shaoting's second uncle alighted from the car. It was difficult for these two, with a combined age close to a hundred, to endure such a journey.
Only these two, along with two accompanying bodyguards, had escaped the Wei family's turmoil this time.
"Third Brother, the plane has been arranged for you. Come with me quickly, the plane is about to take off."
In a private room in the departure lounge, a middle-aged man in uniform had been waiting for a long time. Seeing them arrive, he immediately approached.
"Old Zhang, I didn't expect that after so many years, I would still have to trouble you."
Wei Lao San breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the middle-aged man. Although the Wei family had suffered heavy losses this time, at least they, the older generation, could still leave.
As for how the news had been leaked, they hadn't had time to investigate. The immediate priority was to escape.
"Third Brother, what are you saying? My life was saved by the Wei family years ago. Let's go, or we'll be too late."
Glancing outside through the door, the middle-aged man appeared very nervous. Wei Lao San and the others didn't hesitate. After exchanging a few pleasantries, they immediately followed the middle-aged man towards the back of the airport.
In the takeoff area behind the airport, several large passenger planes were parked. Wei Lao San and the others had now changed into airport staff uniforms and were slowly heading towards a large passenger plane in an airport service vehicle.
"Third Brother, there are people watching the airport, so private jets couldn't be arranged. We can only arrange a commercial flight for you."
