"Brother-in-law, if you send me out of here today, you'll regret it later."
Li Zhiming's expression was cold. Although he didn't speak, the hint of chilling intent flashing in his eyes revealed his attitude.
At this point, he wouldn't believe anything Lin Hai said.
Since everyone knew the situation, Li Zhiming was aware of Lin Hai's purpose for coming.
And Lin Hai had long understood that his current predicament was the result of Li Zhiming's actions.
Therefore, there was no need for pleasantries.
"What nonsense are you spouting?" The two security guards became even more diligent.
In a short while, Lin Hai was dragged up from the sofa, then pushed and shoved towards the corridor outside the apartment.
"Li Zhiming, it seems you don't understand the current situation. A year ago, your Li family took ten million yuan from our Lin family through the Futian City Garden project. Two years ago, you used the Lin family's connections to acquire one-third of the shares of Jinchi International from your own father, the Li family. Three years ago..." wΑp.kanshu伍.net
As Lin Hai was led out by the two security guards, he calmly uttered the words that had been pent up in his throat.
Initially, Li Zhiming didn't pay much attention.
But as the words drilled into his ears, one by one, they felt not like sounds, but like heavy hammers striking his heart.
Li Zhiming's face suddenly turned ashen green.
How did this kid know these things?
These should have been his secrets.
Li Zhiming had initially thought the other party was merely repeating gossip. However, as time went on, Lin Hai spoke more and more, with increasing detail, things that couldn't possibly be learned through hearsay.
What was the meaning behind his words at this moment?
Li Zhiming was a sharp observer. With a moment's thought, he immediately understood.
What Lin Hai was saying was precisely related to his father and the relationships between the Lin and Li families.
This was clearly a veiled threat.
If Li Zhiming threw him out today, then in the coming days, if anything happened to the Li family or Li Zhiming himself, he shouldn't blame Lin Hai.
Li Zhiming was so enraged that his molars gnashed together with a grinding sound.
He wanted to hold out until the two security guards escorted Lin Hai out and the apartment door slammed shut.
But imagination is often beautiful, and reality is incredibly cruel.
Now, Li Zhiming, standing in place, although he hadn't moved, his back...
had already lost control. Sweat poured down like a spring.
If Lin Hai were to expose all these secrets of his...
then, not to mention the Lin family, even his own father would likely not let him off.
In business, especially for someone of his status, there were bound to be hidden scandals.
And these scandals were all concentrated together.
Like gleaming swords, they were pressed close to Li Zhiming's throat.
Li Zhiming was in an agonizing internal struggle.
Finally, just as Lin Hai was about to be escorted out the door,
although he was deeply unwilling, he shouted from the bottom of his heart,
"Wait."
The two security guards followed Li Zhiming's lead. Upon hearing this, even though they were confused and had no idea what Li Zhiming was up to,
they immediately stopped.
Li Zhiming slowly walked towards the two guards and looked up at one of the supervisors.
"Alright, you're not needed here anymore. You can go."
After the two security guards left, Lin Hai's lips curled up again.
"How about that? Brother-in-law, didn't I tell you? You're a smart person, you wouldn't let me leave."
Li Zhiming was momentarily at a loss for words.
"Fine, you win. But how did you know all this?"
At this point, Lin Hai no longer concealed anything.
"Ahem! Come in!"
He coughed a few times towards the door.
A woman slowly walked in from outside.
"Sister!?"
Seeing the woman, Li Zhiming was almost rendered speechless for a moment.
"You, how could you?"
Last time, the woman had come here alone, distressed, to find Li Zhiming.
But in the end, Li Zhiming hadn't even let her in.
Now, she was stepping into this place, thanks to Lin Hai.
Who was good and who was bad, was it even necessary to say?
Through Li Zhiming's gaze, filled with doubt and reproach, understanding his meaning,
the woman no longer endured in silence but met his gaze head-on.
"Brother, I don't blame you for what happened last time, but don't blame me this time either."
Li Zhiming was surprised by the woman's boldness.
This was completely beyond his expectations.
"Fine, you, you all."
Li Zhiming's finger, raised in mid-air, now flailed like a headless fly, unsure of where to go.
Meanwhile, Lin Hai had already grasped the situation completely.
From the beginning until now, including the current reaction of the person before him, everything was within his plan.
Seeing this, Lin Hai smiled and said.
"Alright, now we don't owe each other anything. This is good, and it means we have no other burdens between us. Brother-in-law, please, let's have a good talk about this business now."
After speaking, Lin Hai slowly raised his right hand, making a polite gesture.
Although this was Li Zhiming's place, with this demeanor, Lin Hai had already taken the initiative.
In fact, on this matter, after his confrontation with Li Zhiming, he had gradually gained the upper hand.
Knowing he had no other choice, Li Zhiming had no choice but to reluctantly return to the sofa with Lin Hai.
As they all sat down in order, this time, Lin Hai was not in the mood for idle chatter.
The prelude had been set, and he immediately presented his plan to Li Zhiming.
Not only his upcoming plans,
but also the matters concerning Lin Mei and Master Lü Feng were all recounted.
Li Zhiming's eyes blinked rapidly as he listened.
He was bewildered.
Originally, he had simply thought that Lin Hai had come to seek revenge.
Now, it seemed his thinking had been too narrow.
Realizing that Lin Hai was indeed targeting Lü Feng and attempting to regain his position within the Lin family,
Li Zhiming's inner resistance was swept away like a gust of wind. While it didn't completely disappear like flowing water in an instant, it gradually diminished.
However, even though his resistance had lessened,
mobilizing the entire Li family's funds was no small matter.
And it was a confrontation with someone currently at the peak of influence within the Lin family, the risks were imaginable.
As a result, before Lin Hai could finish, Li Zhiming immediately interrupted.
"Brother-in-law," this time, having had his weakness exposed by the person opposite him, he was much more polite than a few moments ago.
"I understand what you're saying, but this matter is too significant. I can't make decisions alone."
This was the honest truth.
