These men were all subordinates whom Lin Hai had supported for many years.
Upon hearing Lin Hai's voice, they all cupped their fists and nodded with conviction.
"Mr. Lin, you can rest assured about this matter," one man stepped forward from the group. "We brothers will handle this perfectly. As long as Mr. Lin gives the order, we will spare no effort for any task."
These men had benefited greatly from the Lin family, especially from Lin Hai.
A thousand days of training for a moment of use.
Lin Hai's gaze swept over these men before him.
Finally, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
"Good, very good."
This was the kind of presence he desired.
Since that was the case, Lin Hai decided not to hold back.
"This matter is crucial to our success. Everyone, listen carefully."
"From now on, keep a close watch on the movements of Tang Sheng Tang and Zhou Ge Group. Notify me immediately of any important developments."
However, as these words were spoken, everyone looked confused.
They did not understand Lin Hai's objective.
Without an objective, how could they gather information?
At the same time, whispers spread among them.
The earlier bravado of the group vanished in an instant.
Meanwhile, the man who had stepped forward from the crowd wore a puzzled expression.
"Mr. Lin, we are all your loyal followers. Mr. Lin, you can't just string us along like this."
Upon hearing this, Lin Hai burst into laughter.
"Mr. Lin, what is this?"
The leader, seeing this, became even more perplexed.
However, Lin Hai clearly had no intention of revealing his reasoning directly.
At this moment, he simply said in a calm voice, "In short, gather any useful information you deem relevant about these two entities!"
"This?"
The leader's face showed difficulty.
Lin Hai had anticipated this expression before he even spoke.
Lin Hai, unfazed, said, "In any case, you must handle this matter properly, and absolutely do not expose your whereabouts. Understand?"
Noticing Lin Hai's absolute certainty and determination regarding this matter, the leader had no choice but to agree, even if he didn't want to.
"Understood!"
With that, the man led the group and quickly departed the courtyard, scattering like sparks.
After they were all gone, Lin Hai chuckled.
He had his reasons for this approach.
Currently, to make a move against Zhou Ge Group and Tang Sheng Tang, extreme subtlety was required.
The first objective was to make it difficult for the target to detect.
Furthermore, he wanted the target, and not just the target but also Lin Dong, to believe that this action was instigated by Lu Feng.
The motive, they would think, was to sever cooperation with Zhou Ge Group for personal gain.
Only then could his objective be achieved.
To achieve this objective, the action had to be invisible.
Lin Hai understood this principle well from his many years of experience.
The more so, the more he needed to thoroughly understand the person and his group.
If Lin Hai were to directly tell these men their direction now, it might cause them to miss important details.
This time, Lin Hai was casting a wide net.
These men had weathered storms with him and had been through years of trials.
Lin Hai had absolute confidence in their capabilities.
Within three to five days, he would obtain the information he so desperately desired.
With this arrangement settled, only Lin Mei and Lu Feng remained.
After all, the ultimate goal was to pin the blame on Lu Feng.
Therefore, he had to devise various methods.
Ideally, he would create an opportunity for Lin Dong and Lu Feng, and even Tang Sheng Tang, to encounter each other unexpectedly.
Under such circumstances, he would then fan the flames, creating conflict between Lu Feng and Tang Sheng Tang.
As Lin Hai pondered this, he sat down in a small pavilion in the courtyard.
Gazing up at the dark night sky dotted with faint white stars, he felt a surge of admiration for his own intellect.
"As expected, my woman's direction is correct."
Taking a sip of cool tea, Lin Hai couldn't help but sigh with the cool evening breeze.
Lu Feng, that fellow, was indeed quite capable.
His combat skills alone were equivalent to one or two highly trained professional fighters.
Especially in terms of intellect, he was like a seasoned veteran who had been engaged in business activities in Southeast City for at least three years.
Lin Hai was consumed by jealousy of such a person.
And dealing with such a person required patience.
It was like boiling a frog in warm water, a slow and steady process of endurance.
Even the wisest can make mistakes, and even the foolish can have a good idea.
Although Lin Hai felt he couldn't match Lu Feng in these two aspects, he was not a fool.
"What are you talking about?"
Lin Hai's words were soon overheard by the woman emerging from the house.
"Oh!" Lin Hai suddenly came back to his senses.
In a good mood, looking at his woman, Lin Hai felt she seemed even more beautiful.
"I'm just thinking of ways to deal with Lu Feng!"
"Our plan can't be delayed any longer. My brother has also started taking action recently, and we can't afford to be behind him."
These words were concise but hit the nail on the head.
Lin Feng had always been on Lin Dong's side.
For Lin Feng to take action was equivalent to Lin Dong taking action.
He had to act before Lin Dong handed over all of the Lin family's affairs, especially the important ones, to Lin Feng. Otherwise, after all these years of being suppressed by Lin Feng, unable to bring his own ideas to fruition, he would be miserable.
In the future, Lin Hai would be ten or even a hundred times more miserable.
After all, Lin Feng was not foolish.
Lin Hai had caused Lin Feng, his elder brother, no small amount of trouble over the years.
Even if they were brothers, so what?
Once Lin Feng took charge, his own fate would surely not be good.
The woman nodded with conviction upon hearing this.
Then, she looked at Lin Hai, "What? Have you thought of a plan this time?"
Lin Hai did not hide anything from his woman.
Moreover, he needed her help with something.
After all, when it came to creating opportunities, women were often more useful than men.
Lin Hai's sudden appearance before Lu Feng, just like their encounter in the restaurant during the day, would quickly make Lu Feng suspicious.
Therefore, after outlining the initial concept of the plan, Lin Hai said, "You'll need to put in extra effort for this."
The woman's lips curved into a smile, "Leave this matter to me. As for Zhou Ge Group, I'm not familiar with it and can't help much!"
