In name only: The land of Handong, I shall rule its fate.

Hongjia Private Kitchen.

Closed to the public today.

Lin Zhiyuan pushed open the door to the private room and saw a middle-aged man with a refined but depraved appearance flirting with two younger women.

"Lin Xiaoliu!"

A smile spread across the man's face, and he waved for the two girls to leave.

"Second Brother Mu, is hanging on the wall the only way you'll behave?"

Lin Zhiyuan remained silent.

"There's nothing I can do. You know I'm not very ambitious. This is all I have."

Mu Sihua spread her hands, speaking with a straight face, "Besides, to be precise, you're the one who doesn't fit in. The eldest, the third, the fourth, and the fifth are all the same. The eldest doesn't even want to manage the company."

For a complete pendulum.

It turns out that no one's opinion mattered.

"I heard things have been quite lively in Handong these past few months!"

Mu Sihua, like boneless soft tissue, leaned in with her arm around his shoulder. "We dug three feet into the ground, even the earthworms had to be split in half. Several systems were destroyed, and the military even took action against us externally."

Exciting!

Mu Sihua slapped her thigh excitedly as she spoke, "I also heard that you almost replicated the legend of Hanjiang and kicked out your full-time deputy secretary of Handong."

"Disgrace!"

Lin Zhiyuan solemnly declared, "That was done by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection."

"Was it you who repeatedly led the charge in embarrassing the Qin family's old son-in-law?"

Lin Zhiyuan glanced at it, thinking, "They've been going around in circles, waiting for me here."

"Second child, I'm under a lot of pressure!"

"Sixth Brother, I'm under a lot of pressure too!"

Lin Zhiyuan started the conversation, but Mu Lao Er interrupted him, saying, "The company's funds are pouring out like water. Your domestic energy vehicle project, Zhao's kid's factory, and TSL have all received tens of billions of yuan in one go."

"All we see is money going out, and none coming back."

"I also had to carry that bunch of demons and monsters for you, and you didn't think it was enough that you provoked one group, you wanted me to carry a second group for you."

"What's wrong?"

"Do you think I'm indestructible?"

Mu Sihua kept complaining, looking like she was pouring her heart and soul into it, but her eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses were fixed on people.

"Let's go mining!"

Lin Zhiyuan shoved Mu Lao Er away, "This thing is bad for feng shui, go do it outside."

"Around when?"

Mu Sihua's eyes lit up.

"About two years."

Mu Sihua nodded. "That's fine. What about back home?"

"Women > Children > Dogs > Men"

Lin Zhiyuan replied with an irrelevant remark.

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

Mu Sihua nodded knowingly, "I make money from both sides by taking women's money with my left hand and investing in my brothers' hobbies with my right."

"Unfortunately, things have started to decline in the last two years."

Mu Sihua sighed.

Making money is getting harder and harder these days.

"In the past, it was an era of unbridled growth. Anyone with a lot of courage, a sharp mind, and a bit of luck could make a lot of money. But now the landscape has changed. The nature of the trends, the barriers to entry, and the beneficiaries have all changed."

"Downstream, 99% of ordinary people can only rely on internet platforms."

"Moving up requires high levels of assets, technology, and qualifications."

"But if you want to continue enjoying the benefits from before, that's not impossible."

Lin Zhiyuan said.

Tell me!

Mu Sihua's eyes lit up.

"Third World, replicating existing experience patterns."

Lin Zhiyuan cautioned, "But they're a bit disorganized. Remember to protect yourself. Don't invest money, make a profit, only to find you can't get it out in the end."

"rest assured!"

Mu Sihua patted her chest and said, "I can handle this."

"You know that I've reached a cooperation agreement with Professor Shen, right?"

Lin Zhiyuan asked.

"I know, disposable drones."

Mu Sihua pouted. This could have been theirs too, but they handed it over.

"I'm planning to do some other things, but you'll need to take care of the qualifications..."

"What?"

Mu Sihua immediately became interested and raised her wine glass.

"Come on, have another one!"

Lin Huahua, her face flushed and reeking of alcohol, shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Hai, Lu Yike, and Chen Qunfang, still somewhat dazed, raised their glasses to clink again.

Wine is good; it can drown sorrows.

One cup and all the sorrows are swallowed, never to return.

Wow!

Chen Qunfang suddenly burst into tears, with large tears streaming down her face, but no one tried to stop her; they were all used to it.

Besides…

Chen Qunfang's situation is tragic, but theirs is not.

Four people together can make a pair of parents.

Chen Hai needs no further explanation.

Apart from her father, Lu Wufeng, who was discharged from the military, Lu Yike's mother, Yao Xinyi, and everyone else from her maternal grandmother's family were all imprisoned.

Aside from those still overseas, none of Lin Huahua and Chen Qunfang remained; all were accomplices supported by the family foundation.

"Don't cry!"

Lin Huahua was very annoyed and kicked him. She wanted to cry too, but her eyes were swollen like walnuts, and she would go blind if she cried any more.

"Chen Hai, Hua Hua, Fang Fang, we can't keep going down this path."

Lu Yike forced herself to stay awake, "We're in such a terrible situation, no one in my family is doing well, I'm not reconciled!"

The three people did not answer.

revenge?

What will they use to retaliate against Lin Zhiyuan, who is in charge of everything?

"It's not Lin Zhiyuan."

Lu Yike waved her hand. She wanted to do it too, but she just couldn't. "Hou Liangping!"

"Why did we get involved with Lin Zhiyuan? Wasn't it because Hou Liangping wanted to investigate Li Dakang, but he was set up, and everything was brought up by Ouyang Jing?"

"The case in Chuzhou was also one of the cases he investigated."

"He's the one who caused all the trouble, yet he's the one investigating us."

"I'm not reconciled!"

Lu Yike threw the bottle on the ground, her voice frantic and shrill, "Why are we so miserable? Our family members have been arrested, we've lost our jobs, while he's perfectly fine and has become a hero praised by the procuratorate!"

"Chen Hai, you'll help me, right?"

Lu Yike didn't look at Lin Huahua and Chen Qunfang. She knew they would definitely agree. She leaned on Chen Hai's shoulder, looking so delicate and helpless. "Uncle Chen became childhood friends because of Dafeng Factory and Cai Chenggong. What kind of good person is Hou Liangping?"

"Chen Hai, you'll help me, right?"

"help!"

Chen Hai's mind was already clouded by alcohol, and now it was even more clouded.

He also harbored a nameless anger within him.

He recalled Hou Liangping's fawning over him during college, his domineering attitude towards him after marrying into the Zhong family, Hou Liangping's swift disassociation after his own incident, and that phone call where he chatted warmly with Qi Tongwei.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get!

He didn't heed a single word of his incompetent sworn brother Sha Ruijin's advice and continued to indulge in drinking these days.

Yes! Revenge!

We must get revenge.

boom!

The door was pounded on violently.

Who is it?

Before Lin Huahua could get up, the door was forcibly broken open from the outside.

Cheng Du led the team in.

"Someone reported that you, one man and three women, stay at home all day, suspected of gathering in a crowd. You've all been taken back for investigation."

take away!
