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

"Rui'an isn't a bad kid at heart, he just goes through a long rebellious phase. Executive Director Lin, you can guide him and he'll be fine."

Seeing that Lin Zhiyuan had relented, Fang Denggao quickly chimed in.

"Do I need you to say it?"

Lin Zhiyuan glanced at him coldly. He was less than ten years older than Fang Denggao, yet he kept calling him a child and talking about someone in their thirties going through a rebellious phase. How could he be so shameless?

Fang Denggao shut up sullenly and secretly gave Liu Ruian a helpless look.

"Director Lin, I was stupid and got set up. As long as it doesn't implicate my father, you can send me to jail!"

Liu Ruian clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth.

"He has some sense of responsibility."

Lin Zhiyuan's expression softened slightly. He really didn't want to deal with this kind of troublesome kid, but he had no choice because Liu Changsheng's support for him taking over the provincial government was too strong.

If you won't even help such a kind and benevolent elder, how can others trust you?

"Explain everything clearly, from beginning to end, without missing a single word. If you miss even the smallest detail, I'll break your legs, send you to the police station for investigation, and drag you through the entire legal process, for as long as you can stay in there."

Lin Zhiyuan said.

"well!"

Liu Ruian's body trembled slightly.

He was afraid of two people in his life: his mother, Shudao Mountain, and Brother Fang, who would take his place. But now, facing his "older brother" who was five or six years older than him, just sitting face to face, he felt that the danger level directly exceeded that of the former two.

"Director Lin, because my father wouldn't allow me to join the system, I harbored resentment, so I usually don't work in Handong, but rather in Gangcheng."

"The salary is average."

"With my mom feeling sorry for me and occasionally helping me out, I can barely make ends meet."

"Until last year."

"The company promoted me to director, and my salary and bonuses increased dozens of times, which immediately relieved our financial burden."

"Once I have money, and no one in the port city can control me, my previously suppressed desires have become unrestrained."

"I frequently visit high-end luxury venues."

"Later, I met a reporter at the Four Seasons Hotel named... Mr. Liu. He was very eloquent, and we shared the same surname, Liu. We became friends after a while, and he inadvertently revealed some information about my family."

"He said I could go back to Handong, and that with my identity, I could earn dozens or even hundreds of times more money in Handong than in Gangcheng."

"I know he meant for me to use my influence to get things done, but my dad's refusal to let me into the system is to cut off that possibility."

"So I refused on the spot."

"But then he told me that I could do business honestly. He provided me with the latest international development trends and suggested that I could choose a more remote city so as not to affect my father."

"He also showed me several success stories, and Zhao Ruilong from Handong was also one of his VIPs."

"I was used to living a lavish lifestyle at that time, and I was tempted."

"He immediately set me up and found Jiangdong, which is located in northern Han and far from the provincial capital. If we can boost the economy of Jiangdong, it will have a positive impact on my father."

"so."

"I went to Jiangdong at the end of last year, but I didn't meet the person Liu Sheng introduced me to. That person arranged for the company's vice president to receive me, and after the tour, he took me to the Dark Night Club."

"Si Tianyu knew the vice president and took the initiative to come up to him and curry favor."

"But unexpectedly, Secretary Sha and his team were investigating Jiangdong."

idiot!

Fang Denggao flew into a rage and kicked the man away again. "It's one thing to be fooled before we even got there, but how dare you do this at a place like the Dark Night Club!"

"No, Brother Fang...Standing Committee Member Fang."

Liu Ruian clutched his chest as he got up, feeling a sharp pain and wondering if his ribs were broken. He repeatedly protested, "I just slept at the Dark Night Club at night. I didn't refuse the girls they arranged for me, including the one who scratched me. I didn't force her!"

"and…"

"During the day, they took me to visit legitimate high-tech industries, the proper and advanced kind. To this day, I still don't know they have any problems."

do not know?

A sinister smile crept across Fang Denggao's face as he kicked him several times. "You quit your job in Hong Kong, instead of staying in Jiangdong and running a company with them, what are you doing hiding in Shanghai?"

"It's not that Sister Lan was worried and called you; she could have monitored your phone signal, but I still couldn't find you."

Speaking of things that make you angry.

Fang Denggao kicked the big buttocks hard, the sound was loud and the pain made the big buttocks curl up like a shrimp.

"I was wrong."

Liu Ruian was writhing on the ground. If he kept being beaten like this, he wouldn't just have to go inside, he'd have to go to the ICU.

"Sit still!"

Lin Zhiyuan felt tired of talking.

Seeing that Liu Ruian couldn't get up on his own, Fang Denggao grabbed him by the collar and pushed him back onto the sofa, completely ignoring the other's face contorted in pain.

"Ryan, I have a few questions for you."

Lin Zhiyuan asked, "What's the name of the company you work for in Hong Kong? When did you and Mr. Liu first get to know each other? What industries did the vice president take you to visit? Why did you go to Shanghai?"

"Explain each problem in detail."

"I can't explain it..."

"Heh, I'm next."

Lin Zhiyuan held up the porcelain cup filled with tea in front of the other person, exerted force with his five fingers, and the porcelain cup made a piercing sound. He released it with one hand, and the porcelain cup shattered into pieces as it fell, and the broken pieces mixed with tea drenched Liu Ruian.

Liu Ruian turned pale.

Is this guy even human? He crushed a ceramic teacup with one hand; his fighting skills are even more terrifying than that of the bodyguard Fang Ge.

No, is that right?

In the entire Handong Military Region, perhaps only Shen Shanhe, that human-shaped brown bear, has a chance of achieving this? It's really a case of winning and becoming a civil official, losing and becoming a military officer.

"explain!"

Lin Zhiyuan shouted.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Liu Ruian nodded repeatedly. "The company I previously worked for was called Xunyang Technology, which mainly engaged in financial investment. I met Mr. Liu in the middle of last year."

"The vice president took me to visit a pharmaceutical and biotechnology company, as well as companies in finance, international logistics, and scientific research and development. He also took me to visit the charitable foundation, orphanage, and nursing home sponsored by their company."

"At that time, I really didn't feel there was any problem at all."

"Later I went to Shanghai instead of staying in Handong because I felt that the things their pharmaceutical company was researching were a bit weird, as they were involved in anti-aging and the raw materials were umbilical cord blood."

"The more I think about it, the more something seems off."

"So, under the guise of an inspection tour, I've been staying in Shanghai."

Liu Ruian's voice grew softer and softer as he spoke.

"Something feels off, yet you still agree to cooperate?"

Fang Denggao felt his feet itching again.

"Before my visit, I only saw ordinary drug research and development projects. It was only after I signed the contract and became a shareholder that I came into contact with the core research and development projects."

Liu Ruian explained.

shareholder?

Fang Denggao's eyes revealed murderous intent. What gave him the right to become a shareholder of a well-established pharmaceutical company?

Those are all money trees!

"etc!"

Lin Zhiyuan stopped the hot-tempered Xiao Fang.
