Wei Shaoting glanced at Lin Yan, seemingly unwilling to let Lin Yan know the content of the phone call. He stood up and prepared to walk a few steps away. However, before he could go far, the middle-aged bodyguard guarding nearby quickly walked towards him. In just two steps, the bodyguard reached Wei Shaoting's side. He cast a deep glance at Lin Yan, who was still sitting calmly, and whispered into Wei Shaoting's ear.
"Young Master, hurry up. The Lin family's bodyguards just received a call. I suspect the Lin family is coming."
"What? So soon? How far are our people?"
Wei Shaoting's expression changed, and a hint of panic appeared in his triangular eyes. He didn't even lower his voice, and Lin Yan, sitting at the table nearby, heard it clearly.
Without time to think, Wei Shaoting returned to the table.
"Lin Yan, I will discuss this matter with my elders at home. I will contact you if there is any news. Remember your promise."
After speaking, Wei Shaoting stared intently at Lin Yan, waiting to see his reaction.
Lin Yan smiled at him slightly, and then Wei Shaoting fled in a hurry.
After drinking the lemon water, Lin Yan got up, ordered a few more things, and then paid the bill. This guy wasn't completely stupid; he knew to run.
..............................................................
"Well done."
Sitting in the car, Lin Yan patted Li Wei on the shoulder. With the item in hand, the opportunity to pit the Wei family had arrived.
Looking at the USB drive in his hand, Lin Yan asked Su Mojin to send it to Lin Guoxiong. As for how to operate it, it was up to his cheap father, as he had the connections.
He had expected the hastily arranged plan to be a bit bumpy, but it turned out to be perfect. Wei Shaoting, as usual, was easily fooled.
At the same time.
"Young Master, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should." The words spoken by the other party just now... seemed to have some loopholes."
Here, Wei Shaoting and his group had already gotten into the car. Seeing Wei Shaoting's excited demeanor, the middle-aged bodyguard frowned. After a moment of silence, he said hesitantly.
"Don't worry, Uncle Six. In my opinion, there's no problem. As long as the Lin family stops, we can deal with that old guy Song Yi first. Then, once we unify everything, it won't be impossible to go up against the Lin family."
Wei Shaoting paid no attention to the middle-aged bodyguard's words and had already begun to imagine being praised by his second uncle when he returned. Speaking of which, he hadn't answered the phone earlier; should he call back now?
Seeing Wei Shaoting about to take out his phone, the bodyguard, referred to as Uncle Six, grabbed Wei Shaoting's phone. Although he didn't understand it very well, he knew that this matter was definitely fake. If the second young master made this call, he would definitely be scolded.
After a moment of internal struggle, Uncle Six looked up at Wei Shaoting and said earnestly.
"Young Master, have you ever considered one thing: what benefit would this bring to the Lin family? What are they after?"
His words struck a chord with Wei Shaoting, making him pause.
"Perhaps there's pressure from above?"
Seeing Wei Shaoting's reaction, the middle-aged bodyguard sighed inwardly in disappointment. If there was pressure from above, the patriarch wouldn't even know, so how could you, Young Master!
He didn't interject when they were talking, partly due to his status and partly because he had to keep an eye on Li Wei. This master was someone no one else could keep track of except him.
Wei Shaoting fell into thought.
In fact, the middle-aged bodyguard had another unspoken thought: if the Lin family truly wanted to negotiate, they wouldn't have let these juniors convey the message. The only possibility was that the other party was worried about being taken away and releasing a signal flare. However, judging by the Lin family's young master's expression just now, this reason was unlikely. They probably had other intentions.
"Don't worry, Young Master. Before I left, I checked the surroundings. I even personally deleted the surveillance footage from inside the store. There shouldn't be any major issues. I guess the Lin family kid deliberately said that because he was afraid their people would be late."
Uncle Six tried to comfort him, but in his heart, he was still uncertain. The Lin family's young master had been too impressive recently. He didn't believe the other party would do something so pointless.
After the middle-aged bodyguard's simple analysis, even the dullest person would have noticed something was wrong.
Faced with a great temptation, people can easily become muddle-headed, especially someone like Wei Shaoting who felt he had nothing to lose.
That's right, Wei Shaoting had exactly that mindset at the time. Lin Yan's conditions didn't involve any loss for him. Betting would bring profit, and losing would incur no loss. That was Wei Shaoting's thought process at the time.
This Lin Yan actually dared to deceive him. Realizing this, a cold glint shot from Wei Shaoting's eyes, his gaze incredibly sharp.
The middle-aged bodyguard beside him saw Wei Shaoting's expression and his own changed. He finally understood why the patriarch had supported Wei Hua against all opposition. The second young master was truly an irredeemable disappointment.
"Young Master, the urgent matter is, shouldn't we think about what the other party's purpose is so we can prepare in advance..."
The middle-aged bodyguard reminded him.
"Get lost! I don't need you to butt in when I'm doing things! Lin Yan, I will tear you to shreds!"
At this moment, Wei Shaoting was completely enraged by Lin Yan. He punched the seat in front of him. The pain from his fist twisted his face. His hope of regaining his position as heir had been dashed. Coupled with the previous hatred, Wei Shaoting now hated Lin Yan to the bone.
Seeing Wei Shaoting gnashing his teeth, the middle-aged bodyguard remained silent, sitting beside him without a word. He knew the young master had gone mad.
"Boss, this is bad! The Lin family's convoy is already approaching us from the front."
Suddenly, the bodyguard driving in the front shouted back nervously.
This shop was located at the end of the commercial street, and they had exited from the end. This direction led towards their Wei family. However, they hadn't expected to be intercepted so soon after leaving the restaurant.
Upon hearing this, Wei Shaoting's face paled, and his gaze involuntarily shifted towards the middle-aged bodyguard.
The middle-aged bodyguard was called Uncle Six. He was one of the old guards who followed the third master of the Wei family, a veteran fighter of the Wei family. These bodyguards were the elites he led.
Uncle Six was already cautiously looking out the window. As expected, they were surrounded. They had been blocked by the Lin family before they could even drive out of the street.
This street was neither very wide nor very narrow, and it wouldn't be easy for them to break through.
The middle-aged bodyguard had already leaned his upper body forward from the center console, his vision clear, as he tried to find an escape route.
"That's not right, Boss. They don't seem to intend to block us."
The car didn't slow down and continued to move forward. After driving for a while, the bodyguard driving suddenly realized something was wrong. The commercial vans in front were parked one after another on both sides of the street, and they didn't seem to intend to block the middle.
"Boss, are we going or not?"
"Let's go. What are you waiting for? Maybe they haven't realized it's our car yet."
Before the middle-aged bodyguard could speak, Wei Shaoting became impatient and quickly urged the bodyguard to keep driving. He had just mustered the courage to take a gamble for the sake of his heir status, but now that he had gained nothing, he absolutely couldn't stay here.
"Drive out."
Uncle Six glanced around and subtly nodded at the driver. This road led directly towards their Wei family. No matter why the other party was doing this, it would be safer to reach the main road than to stay within the commercial street.
A commercial street, where there were almost no cars, was suddenly filled with a large number of black luxury commercial vehicles. A group of tall, well-built bodyguards in black suits alighted from the cars.
"Dong Ge, are we just going to watch him leave?"
After moving aside a few spherical stone piers, more than a dozen commercial vehicles drove into the commercial street. Two bodyguards stood on both sides of the street, watching a luxurious sedan drive away in the distance.
"Young Master ordered us to let him go."
