Lin Tian Ai?
If he remembered correctly, Lin Tian Ai had indeed said she wanted to open her company in the capital, but had she really managed it in such a short time?
"I've looked at the financial reports of Tian Ai's previous companies, and Tian Ai is truly remarkable. I never expected Tian Ai to achieve in a few months what some people can't achieve in a lifetime."
Ye Longlin just smiled and said nothing.
Meanwhile, in the Dragon Pavilion.
Mo Xuanwu had finally returned from overseas. After the Ye family's news was released, Xuan Niao immediately informed Mo Xuanwu. After settling matters overseas, Mo Xuanwu set off for the capital. Within half an hour of arriving in the capital, he went directly to the Dragon Pavilion.
"Sister."
Mo Xuanwu greeted Xuan Niao affectionately.
Xuan Niao nodded and asked, "What do you think of this matter?"
Mo Xuanwu gritted his teeth, his eyes lowered, and he remained silent.
Xuan Niao patted his shoulder and said, "I know about you and Ye Wanqing. But the Ye family is too powerful. Even if four or five Ten Great Families joined forces, they might not be able to deal with the Ye family. The Ye family has a long lineage.
Wanqing waited for you for so many years without any news. Now, she's being betrothed to the Li family by the Ye family. What can you do? Even if you are devoted to each other, even if grandfather mobilizes all of the Mo family's connections, we can't stop this. I just want to tell you, give up."
Xuanwu bit his lip, "But I'm not reconciled, Sister. Can you let me see Wanqing? Wanqing isn't even from the main family. Why must Wanqing marry into their family? Can't they find someone else?"
Ye Wanqing was not from the main branch of the capital but from a collateral branch.
People from the collateral branches had been ostracized by the main branch over the years, simply because they had supported Ye Guohui.
The Mo family and this collateral branch of the Ye family were located very close to each other, and the two families had always been on good terms. Xuan Niao, Xuanwu, and Wanqing were childhood friends, growing up together. Xuanwu had always loved Wanqing, and Wanqing felt the same way. They had promised to marry at twenty-five.
However, they were both twenty-six this year. Xuanwu couldn't even clearly express his feelings to Wanqing, nor could he talk about his work. He could only say that he had joined the army, and that was all.
Once he went overseas, he basically cut off all contact. It had been hard on Wanqing all these years.
Now that Ye Wanqing was betrothed to the Li family by the Ye family, this further strengthened the relationship between the two families. It was clear to everyone that the Ye family was using a collateral branch member who was not highly valued to gain benefits for the main branch, essentially seeking allies. The Li family was the target of this alliance.
Ye Wanqing, naturally, was the sacrifice.
"I refuse! I want to find the Boss!"
Xuanwu said with his neck stiffened. He was unaware of the changes in the Dragon Pavilion or that the Boss had already stepped down. The current master of the Dragon Pavilion was Yuan Gang.
Xuan Niao frowned, "That's enough. Ye Wanqing... If it really doesn't work out, just give up. I know you're very unwilling, but there's nothing we can do."
Xuanwu wanted to leave, but Xuan Niao stopped him.
"Sister! Why are you stopping me? I want to find the Boss, let me go!"
Xuanwu roared angrily, his eyes turning red.
"The Boss has stepped down. Yuan Gang is now the Dragon Master of the Dragon Pavilion!"
After a long time, Xuanwu finally accepted this double blow, but it didn't last long before Yuan Gang walked over from around the corner.
"Xuanwu, do you really want to marry her?"
Xuanwu nodded with red eyes, but Xuan Niao consistently disagreed.
In short, on this day, the commotion from the top floor of the Dragon Pavilion echoed throughout the entire pavilion, lasting for half the day. Yuan Gang left the Dragon Pavilion and headed for the Hall of Glory.
Meanwhile, the military department in the Hall of Glory also held a very long meeting that day.
A document was submitted upwards, and no one knew what it contained.
However, it was rumored that considerable arguments also erupted in the Hall of Glory that day.
...
On the way home from Mu Hanqi's workplace, they passed the Petition Bureau.
The Petition Bureau was similar to appealing to the emperor in ancient times. If someone in power was corrupt or abused their authority, they could submit their grievances through the Petition Bureau.
However, this involved many complex networks, making it difficult for the complaints to reach the intended recipients.
The Petition Bureau in the capital was the largest in Great Xia. People from any place or region could come directly here. After being reviewed by specialized personnel, the cases would be forwarded to the highest department, which would then dispatch an inspection team to verify them. Once verified, an investigation could be initiated immediately.
"My daughter, you must return my daughter's life!"
"If you don't handle this, then send someone who can speak up!"
"Corrupt officials, you are all corrupt officials, trampling on people's lives. Money gives you the right to do whatever you want?"
In the hall of the Petition Bureau, a middle-aged woman was kneeling in the center. Beside her was a large red coffin, and outside the door, there was a drum and gong troupe.
As this incident unfolded, the crowd grew larger, with everyone holding up their phones to record.
"Auntie, haven't I told you before? All matters require evidence. You can't just write a letter and expect the law enforcement department to investigate. If everyone were like you, our law enforcement departments would be overwhelmed."
"Exactly. You've been causing trouble here every day, and now you've even brought your daughter's coffin. How dare you say you love your daughter? You're not even letting your daughter rest in peace after death. I think she just feels the compensation is too little."
Seeing the crowd blocking the road, Ye Longlin could only honk his horn, but it was of no use.
He could only park his car in a parking lot about ten meters away.
"Ye Longlin, something seems to be happening here. Shall we go take a look?"
Mu Hanqi's face was filled with excitement. After all, who didn't like to watch a spectacle? It was something ingrained in their very being.
Upon seeing something interesting, her DNA seemed to be activated.
Ye Longlin was helpless. He scratched her nose and said, "I really don't know what to do with you. Let's go. Since it's only a short walk home, we can just leave the car here."
Mu Hanqi chuckled and said, "Mua~ I love you to death."
"My daughter died of a cold in the hospital. I didn't say anything. The hospital gave me a bunch of explanations I couldn't understand. During the embalming process, the embalmer saw suturing marks on my daughter's chest and told me that my daughter's heart was missing. You tell me, isn't this the hospital's fault?
You are all corrupt officials, corrupt officials who take money and do nothing. Is this how you protect the common people? My poor daughter!"
As Ye Longlin squeezed his way in, he immediately frowned.
Mu Hanqi then asked a nearby security guard, "Brother security guard, what's going on here?"
