After Mad Dragon was released from prison, I shocked the world!

"Lin Li, you're too confident."

Su Lin stood up, smoothed her hair, and said, "Luo Dingqing was just as confident as you were back then, thinking he could go anywhere in the world. But what happened?"

She looked at Lin Li, her eyes becoming very serious: "He founded 'Azure Lotus'."

"Green Leaf Lotus?!"

Upon hearing these three words, Lin Li's expression finally changed.

The Blue Leaf Lotus is a notorious organization in the underworld, which can even be described as a cult.

They traffic drugs, smuggle people, and trade organs; they commit all sorts of evil deeds.

Many of the serious offenders in Black Dragon Prison are members of the Green Leaf Lotus.

"You mean Luo Dingqing, the founder of Qingye Lian?"

Lin Li frowned and asked.

"That's right."

Su Lin stared into his eyes. "Now do you know why I'm so wary of you? I don't want you to follow in his footsteps."

"Oh."

Lin Li suddenly laughed, somewhat sarcastically, "Director Su, your intelligence is outdated. The leader of the Green Leaf Lotus is indeed in Black Dragon Prison, but... I've already killed him."

In his second year in Black Dragon Prison, one of the leaders of Green Leaf Lotus was arrested and tried to establish himself by relying on his superior numbers.

However, Lin Li single-handedly defeated the leader, who was then crippled by Lin Li's own hands and died in solitary confinement.

"What was the name of the person you killed?"

"Nickname: 'Blood Lotus,' I don't remember her real name."

Lin Li recalled.

"That was just the later leader of Qingyelian, not the founder."

Su Lin shook her head. "Luo Dingqing disappeared a few years after founding Qingye Lotus. Some say he died, others say he went into seclusion."

"But the organization he left behind has become a cancer on society."

As she spoke, she suddenly took out a yellowed old photograph from her pocket and handed it to Lin Li: "This is a photo of Luo Dingqing when he was young."

Lin Li took the photo.

The photo is black and white and somewhat blurry.

The background appears to be a training ground, where a young man in an old-fashioned training uniform has a cigarette in his hand and a cynical smile on his face.

Lin Li's pupils contracted sharply, and he blurted out instinctively, "Old man!"

As soon as those three words left his mouth, he immediately realized he had misspoke.

"What did you say?"

Su Lin frowned at Lin Li, her eyes sharpening. "You know him? What did you just call him?"

Lin Li did not answer, but instead took the photo and looked at it carefully again.

The person in the photo does resemble the old man by about 70-80%, but upon closer inspection, there are still some subtle differences in facial features.

The old man's nose was more prominent, and he had a faint scar at the corner of his eye, which the person in the photo did not have.

Moreover, although the old man looks frivolous, his eyes are upright, while the young man in the photo has more hostility and ambition in his eyes.

Could this person be the old man's son?

Lin Li wondered to himself, "Is this what the old man looked like when he was young?"

Although he learned some amazing skills from the old man, he didn't know much about the man's past.

Green Leaf Lotus...

Lin Li silently repeated the name in his heart.

If the old man really is the founder of Qingye Lian, then this joke has gone too far.

But the old man had told him before that their school of thought valued doing things as one pleased and based on mutual affection, and that coercion was not allowed.

Qingye Lianqian's shady dealings, such as trafficking women and forcing women into prostitution, completely crossed the old man's bottom line.

If you really created the Green Leaf Lotus... old man, then don't blame your disciple for cleaning up your house!

Lin Li tossed the photo to Su Lin and said, "I don't recognize him, but I think he looks a bit like a homeless man I've seen before."

"tramp?"

Su Lin clearly didn't believe him, looking at Lin Li suspiciously, "Are you sure?"

Believe it or not.

Lin Li shrugged. "The person in the photo looks to be in his early twenties. If he was your mother's instructor, he'd be at least eighty or ninety years old now, right?"

"How old am I? How could I possibly know him?"

Su Lin frowned; Lin Li's words made sense.

Luo Dingqing has been missing for decades, and Lin Li is only in his early twenties. It is indeed unlikely that they would have any contact, unless... he is Luo Dingqing's successor.

But judging from Lin Li's lifeless state, it's unlikely that any further questioning will yield any results.

"Alright, whether you know me or not, I hope you remember what I said."

Su Lin put away the photos and said seriously, "It's good that you're capable, but don't use your abilities for evil purposes. Otherwise, even if I protect you today, I'll arrest you myself tomorrow."

"Arrest me?"

Lin Li chuckled lightly, "That depends on whether you have the ability."

Su Lin was taken aback. Thinking of Lin Li's skill and terrifying martial arts just now, she felt powerless.

"Are you really not going to consider the driver's job?"

She straightened her clothes, picked up her briefcase, and prepared to leave. "This is a legitimate government job; countless people would kill for it."

"Not interested."

Lin Li refused decisively.

"You..."

Su Lin sighed, somewhat exasperated. "Fine, everyone has their own ambitions. But since you cured my mother and my back, I, Su Lin, will remember this kindness."

The two walked out of the villa one after the other.

"From now on... don't call me Director Su in private."

Su Lin suddenly stopped and, with her back to Lin Li, said, "Since my mother treats you as a junior, you can call me Aunt Lin."

"As for my mother, just call her Grandma, just like Renmei does in private."

Lin Li paused for a moment, watching Su Lin's retreating figure, his expression turning somewhat amused.

This woman was all business a moment ago, and now she's started chatting like a family? Is she planning to use a conciliatory approach?

"Okay, Aunt Lin."

Lin Li didn't stand on ceremony and just called out to him casually.

Su Lin paused for a moment, seemingly a little unaccustomed to it, but she did not refute, only saying lightly, "Also, although Renmei has a sharp tongue, she's not a bad person at heart."

"Don't stoop to her level, and don't bully her."

"As long as she doesn't bother me, I can't be bothered with her."

Lin Li said.

At the fork in the road, Su Lin was going to a meeting in the office area, while Lin Li was leaving the compound.

"Be careful on your way back."

Before leaving, Su Lin reminded her, "I'll contact you again if anything comes up."

"OK,"

Lin Li didn't refuse, waved his hand, and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

……

At the entrance of the municipal party committee compound.

There were more than a dozen people gathered at the gate, which should have only been guarded by two sentries.

The leader was a middle-aged man with triangular eyes. He was wearing a uniform and had a sinister and violent look on his face.

This man is Xiao Changshu, the director of the security department of the municipal party committee compound.

Behind him, besides several armed police sentries, there were seven or eight security guards with riot batons, all staring into the compound.
