Many people have gathered here.
These people are all war criminals, every single one of them!
"Heh, the people I killed deserved to die, not a single one was innocent," No. 5 scoffed, a cold glint appearing in his eyes, clearly showing his disdain for those people.
No. 1 merely glanced at him coldly, remaining silent.
"Ye Longlin has captured many people already, only a few of us are left. The A-class war criminals nationwide are either dead or have become lingering spirits. What we need to do is unite, to join forces and deal with Ye Longlin. This is the most important thing."
Indeed, all they could do now was unite, leveraging their respective networks and finding ways to eliminate Ye Longlin. Only by dealing with him could they find peace.
"Damn it, Ye Longlin is one of the Great Xia Consuls, but he doesn't act like one at all. As a military consul, he even personally takes action! Who would have thought of this?!" No. 2 cursed angrily, full of indignation.
It was true, no matter which country it was, high-ranking officials generally stayed in the capital, and would absolutely not go out unless necessary. But Ye Longlin was different. As a consul, not only did he not preside over the capital, but he even went to the battlefield personally to direct combat. No one expected this.
After No. 2 spoke, silence fell over the gathering. No one uttered a word, because everything he said was true!
"Alright, let's leave this matter here. Everyone, think carefully about what to do. Most importantly, how to kill Ye Longlin!"
Silence fell again.
Because they truly didn't know, or rather, they didn't know how they could kill Ye Longlin!
This was a problem.
"Since Ye Longlin is a Great Xia Consul, we should threaten him using Great Xia citizens, forcing him to commit suicide. A soldier's mission is to protect the lives of the people. If we hold the citizens of Star City hostage, it will definitely attract his attention. Then we can let him choose: whether he dies or these ordinary people die."
Meanwhile, at the Lin family villa.
"Tian Ai, don't be too sad. These things are unavoidable. In life, no one knows what will happen in the next second. My father once said that perhaps the next second you step out, you'll be hit by a car. No one can predict it," Mu Hanqi said, holding her hand and trying to console her.
Lin Tian Ai forced a smile, "I'm fine. I just didn't expect my father to leave so suddenly."
Mu Hanqi fell silent. She had asked Ye Longlin about this. Lin Langsheng did not die suddenly; he was poisoned, and not by ordinary poison. It was a chemical agent, especially lethal to people with cancer! A glint flashed in her eyes, and after smiling, she said nothing more.
"Ye Longlin also told me not to bother with my father's funeral. What do you think? Can I not bother? That's my father! He telling me not to bother is just ridiculous. But the sad part is, I didn't even get to see my father's body. Mu Mu, do you think I'm a very incompetent daughter?" As Lin Tian Ai spoke, tears welled up uncontrollably, dripping from her eyes and tracing paths down her face.
Mu Hanqi remained silent. She truly didn't know how to handle these matters, as she had never experienced anything like it herself, so she naturally didn't know what to do.
"It's okay, it's okay."
The two women hugged each other. Just then, with a bang, the main door of the Lin family villa was kicked open, and figures swarmed in. Leading them was a middle-aged man in a black suit, and behind him were fierce-looking men with dragon and tiger tattoos, clearly not upstanding citizens.
"Miss Lin, forgive our intrusion. But I'd like to know why you haven't attended the industry convention. The Ministry of Commerce has just reissued a decree, and as the industry benchmark, it's rather inappropriate for Giant Spirit Group not to participate in the industry meeting?" The man squinted, looking at Lin Tian Ai with contempt.
"Li Jihao, don't push your luck too far!" Lin Tian Ai said, enraged, standing up from the sofa instantly. Li Jihao was the CEO of Meili Daren Cosmetics Company, the second-largest giant in the cosmetics industry. For years, he had been trying to catch up to Giant Spirit Group. However, Giant Spirit Group controlled industry capital and customer reputation, making it difficult to capture market share.
"Lin Tian Ai, if your father were still alive, I might be a bit more timid, as we are figures from the same era. But now that your father is dead, do you think you can handle such a large undertaking? Or do you think you can carry the Giant Spirit Group? You, one of the Four Flowers of Star City, do you really think you have any capability? If it weren't for our generation laying down the foundation, would you even have the right to live here? Your father is dead, and I have no more reservations. Hand over your cosmetics company, and our grievances will be settled. Otherwise... you can try to feel the power of people like us." Li Jihao, a contemporary of Lin Langsheng, only he himself knew how dirty his methods were.
"Miss Mu, I believe you don't want to get involved in this, do you? After all, if you get entangled, Mu's Group will also be implicated. And now, Mu's Group is undergoing large-scale open development. I believe your father must have told you not to cause trouble during this period, right?" Li Jihao squinted, a smile curving his lips as he spoke. Mu Hanqi's heart sank. He was absolutely right!
"Impossible! What do you think you are? Just by opening and closing your lips, you want to take a company worth at least a billion. What gives you the right?" Lin Tian Ai flatly refused, absolutely unwilling to agree! Just by opening and closing her lips, he wanted her company. How could that be possible!
Li Jihao sneered, "Do you think I'm here to discuss with you? I'm here to inform you. After all, you're blocking someone's path to wealth, and moreover, blocking a great figure's path to wealth! So, that great figure sent me to tell you: either hand over the company, or... hand over the person!"
Lin Tian Ai was stunned. Mu Hanqi narrowed her eyes and took out her phone, sending a text message.
"Hand over the person? Who?"
Seeing her bewildered look, Li Jihao scoffed, "Lin Tian Ai, you're the president of Giant Spirit Group, don't you understand what 'hand over the person' means? After all, you are someone the higher-ups have approved of. So, we ants wouldn't dare to touch you!"
Lin Tian Ai's face turned pale upon hearing this. She wasn't stupid; she understood his meaning!
"So, Ye Longlin was right. My father didn't die naturally, but was killed by you?"
