Lin Dong's sudden change of attitude also surprised and bewildered the young man surnamed Jiang. He couldn't understand why a high-ranking person would be so lacking in composure and self-control. In his own mind, Lin Dong should not have turned on him on the spot. This was too low-class.

After everyone from the Security Bureau boarded the bus, Chen Yi finally broke free from the young man surnamed Jiang's arms. He then looked at everyone's face with extremely venomous eyes, as if trying to etch their features into his mind. Finally, he suppressed his somewhat distorted expression and forced a faint smile before boarding the bus.

After the bus left the parking lot.

"Brother Cheng, let's just forget about what happened next."

A young man, his face pale, said to Jiang Ruicheng, who was in the lead, that the sight of the three ship girls wielding swords had really frightened him. The ship girls he usually saw on TV were all kind and gentle, and he had never seen one with such a strong murderous aura. Although everyone was usually a bit arrogant, they had to choose their targets. They were rich kids, that's true, but they weren't idiots. Seeing Lin Dong's previous actions, everyone knew that things had started to develop into an irreversible situation.

Jiang Ruicheng ignored the man's advice and lit a cigarette before pacing back and forth, deep in thought.

After a while.

"No need to cancel, I'm confident."

Jiang Ruicheng, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, struck a confident pose, as if everything was under his control.

But his response was the sound of several sports cars starting up.

"Brother Jiang, get in touch when you have time."

"Brother Jiang, don't forget about Nightclub tonight!"

"Brother Jiang, we're waiting for your good news!"

After exchanging greetings from outside the car window, the group of second-generation rich kids left the parking lot together.

"Useless."

Jiang Ruicheng threw the burnt-out cigarette on the ground and stomped on it. In his opinion, Lin Dong was indeed extremely powerful. Although Jiang Ruicheng did not know what benefits Lin Dong had received, he must also have some requests from the interest groups in Guangdong Province. Otherwise, he would not have helped Guangdong Province clean up the sea area. Jiang Ruicheng was certain that Lin Dong would not really turn against him.

Moreover, Lin Dong's sudden change of heart just now showed that his little trick had succeeded. After all, Lin Dong must have developed some animosity towards Chen Yi while disliking him. If he had put in a little more effort now, he might have succeeded. After all, the bold get rich while the timid starve. According to the agreement he signed with Chen Yi's elder brother, as long as this matter succeeds, his family can also get a share of the maritime business in Guangdong Province. At that time, his influence in the family will definitely increase significantly.

Jiang Ruicheng, believing he had everything under control, whistled as he got into the sports car and drove off in the direction the bus had gone...

Chapter 146 Journey to the Eastern Empire

On the bus.

"General Lin, I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Chen Yi lowered his head and said with a face full of shame.

"Oh, you can handle it yourself."

Lin Dong, holding Z46, casually looked out the window and answered. After arriving in Guangdong Province, his memories of his time travel slowly surfaced in his mind, and the thought of homesickness made him somewhat absent-minded.

Seeing Lin Dong's indifferent attitude towards him, Chen Yi wished he could tear Jiang Ruicheng to pieces right then and there. His father's health was deteriorating, and his elder brother was starting to make moves. If he lost Lin Dong's support now, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

Although he really wanted to explain to Lin Dong, seeing Lin Dong's unwillingness to speak, Chen Yi knew he couldn't be impatient. He could only suppress his frustration and return to his seat, lost in thought.

Guangzhou was brightly lit at night. As the provincial capital, its prosperity was no less than that of Fuzhou. However, Lin Dong had no mind to appreciate the beautiful night view. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke to Chen Yi.

"Chen Yi, have you ever been to eastern Guangdong?"

"I've been there. My family is originally from eastern Guangdong, but the older generation came to Guangzhou to develop our careers."

Upon hearing Lin Dong's question, Chen Yi hurriedly turned around and explained to Lin Dong.

"Oh? How is it there now?"

Lin Dong looked at this fellow countryman from another world with some surprise.

"Similar to Xiamen, coastal cities are not very developed, otherwise our ancestors would not have come to Guangzhou to make a living."

Before Lin Dong could ask any more questions, the bus suddenly lurched violently. It was clear that the bus had rear-ended a van that had suddenly changed lanes.

Before Lin Dong could recover from the sudden jolt, several burly men in vests got out of the van that had been rear-ended in front of the bus. After cursing and swearing at the rear of the van, the men pulled out several large machetes from the van and began smashing them against the bus door.

"I rely on!"

At this moment, Lin Dong, whose head had hit the front seat due to the sudden braking, rubbed his aching forehead and roared angrily. The repeated provocations had worn away all his patience. He didn't understand why such a clown dared to look down on him like this. Did he really think he was made of clay?

With a ferocious expression, Lin Dong first looked around the carriage to make sure everyone was alright. Then he opened the window next to his seat, pulled out his pistol, and fired wildly at the several burly men. The flying bullets even hit cars passing by in the adjacent lane, causing a series of screeching sounds.

"Click click click click click"

Losing his mind, Lin Dong kept pulling the trigger of his pistol, which had already run out of bullets. The soreness in his wrist from the continuous firing brought him back to his senses. After putting away the pistol, Lin Dong said to Kaga with a cold face.

"Kaga, take them down."

Apart from two thugs who were shot dead by Lin Dong, the remaining people scattered like birds and beasts due to the sudden gunshot, but were quickly captured by Kaga.

"General Lin...I..."

Chen Yi trembled with fear as he looked at Lin Dong, who had shot and killed someone without saying a word.

Shut up! You useless piece of trash!

Lin Dong, who also felt physically and mentally uncomfortable with the bloody scene, cursed angrily, then took out his phone from his pocket and made a call.

"I was attacked by criminals in Guangzhou. I now suspect that someone is trying to kill me. I demand that you investigate this matter immediately!"

Lin Dong coldly said to the former head of the Security Bureau's oversight group on the phone that the oversight group had been serving as a bridge between Donghuang and the Security Bureau since it withdrew from the Security Bureau.

Lin Dong decided to escalate the situation. If they wanted to play around, they might as well go all out. Lin Dong had suspected that the family of the previously deceased unknown young master might be retaliating against him, but he immediately dismissed the idea. He reasoned that someone of that status wouldn't resort to such disgusting tricks; that would be far too low-class. The only people capable of such childish behavior were the group he had encountered at the train station.

"It's over..."

Jiang Ruicheng, who was sitting in a sports car observing from a distance not far from the scene, muttered blankly. He knew he had committed a terrible crime, and he couldn't understand why Lin Dong dared to kill someone so brazenly in the street. This was a society governed by law! He had already told the burly men that they were just putting on a show, and their main purpose was to embarrass Chen Yi. Was this guy crazy?

It's not that Jiang Ruicheng was too stupid, because he had been living in this so-called unspoken rules environment for a long time. Everyone he had met and experienced strictly followed these unspoken rules. Not to mention that people in officialdom should pay more attention to keeping a low profile. However, he didn't know Lin Dong's background. If he knew more, he would never have acted so recklessly and unilaterally.

He was pale-faced, his trembling hands gripping the steering wheel. With a somewhat dazed expression, he pressed the accelerator and drove away from the scene...

Chapter 147 Journey to the Eastern Empire, Part 11

After handing over the car accident to the criminal police who arrived at the scene, Lin Dong and his group took a separately arranged bus to the hotel. Since a series of unpleasant things had happened since they got off the train, Lin Dong was very disappointed. After checking into the hotel, he declined Chen Yi's invitation to go sightseeing in Guangzhou and instead took the settled ship girls to the hotel restaurant for a meal.

Inside the hotel restaurant.

Lin Dong was sitting at the dining table with Eldridge in his arms, facing Radiance, when suddenly a waiter came to Lin Dong's table and said respectfully.

"General Lin, there is a Mr. Jiang outside the restaurant who claims to be your friend. He wants to come in. May I ask your permission?"

Before the waiter could finish speaking, another somewhat deep voice interrupted.

"General Lin."

Lin Dong looked at the somewhat overweight middle-aged man with some doubt, but when he saw the young man behind him, he understood. Lin Dong put a piece of cut steak into Ju Gaogao's mouth and said calmly.

Do I know you?

"General Lin, my son is young and ignorant and has offended you in many ways. Please forgive him. I, Jiang Dao, apologize to you here."

Jiang Dao, who claimed to be Jiang Ruicheng's father, greeted Lin Dong with a smile and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect.

"Oh, I've left this entirely to the criminal police; I have no right to interfere."

Lin Dong didn't even glance at Jiang Dao, took a bite of rice, and then spoke again without waiting for Jiang Dao's reply.

"Also, this area has been temporarily designated as the ship girls' living area. I won't make a fuss about it this time, so you should leave now."

"Then... I'm sorry to have bothered you, General Lin."

Jiang Dao, his face somewhat pale, said that making threats at this point would only make him look ridiculous and make things more irreversible. After he finished speaking, he quickly left the restaurant with Jiang Ruicheng, who was about to speak. Time was of the essence; he needed to suppress the matter before the criminal police came knocking.

Unfortunately, the father and son had only just reached the restaurant entrance when they were surrounded by a large group of plainclothes officers. Jiang Dao's eyes darkened, knowing that the situation was beyond repair, and he could only watch helplessly as Jiang Ruicheng was handcuffed by the plainclothes officers.

"Dad! Dad! Save me! I'm definitely going to die if I go in! Dad! Please!"

Jiang Ruicheng struggled and shouted frantically while being held down by plainclothes officers, but Jiang Dao simply kept his eyes closed and let his son be taken away from the hotel.

"Lin Dong".

Jiang Dao glanced at the hotel restaurant with resentment and then left.

...

The following day, at the Guangzhou Wildlife Park.

"Spence, grab its tail!"

Ford, who was shouting, was stretching out his forearm while the tiger was tearing at his mouth.

"Uh..."

Spence hesitated for a moment as he looked at the enormous, spotted tiger in front of him.

"Hurry up! Tigers have fur too!!"

Ford shouted impatiently, enduring the tiger's foul-smelling maw.

"hair!"

Upon hearing her sister's words, Spence's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and she completely forgot her fear. She took a step and came behind the tiger, then grabbed the tiger's tail tightly with both hands.

"Olive!"

"Here we go!"

Ollie, who had been waiting nearby, hopped over to the tiger and then grabbed its fur tightly, climbing up and quickly mounting its back. Seeing Ollie successfully on the vehicle, Ford, having removed his arm from the tiger's jaws, punched the tiger's head. While the tiger was dazed by the punch, Ford grabbed Ollie's outstretched hand and also climbed onto its head.

At this moment, Ollie, who was on the tiger's back, turned her head to look at Spence, who was still holding on to the tiger's tail. She rolled her little eyes and pulled out a large clump of tiger hair from the tiger's back, shouting at Spence.

"Get on here quickly, Mao!"

"hair!"

Spence put down the tiger's tail and leaped onto the tiger's back.

"This big cat smells awful."

Sitting in the middle, Olek pinched his nose and said with disdain.

"Hmm, let's get it into the pool for a bath."

After wiping the remaining tiger saliva from his arm onto the tiger's head, Ford approved.

Meanwhile, Spence, sitting at the back, was making a fortune in silence, tugging at the tiger's fur all by himself.

"How do you get the tiger to run?"

"I'm annoyed," Olek asked.
