Tazi Village.
Within the luxurious courtyard of the eldest son, Lin Yaodong.
A resounding clang was heard.
A precious blue and white porcelain vase was directly smashed against the wall by Lin Yaodong.
The vase shattered, fragments scattering across the floor.
“Useless! A bunch of useless fools!”
Lin Yaodong was unusually furious.
Those present knew.
Lin Yaodong usually maintained a gentle and refined demeanor, always calm and composed in his interactions.
But once he became angry, the consequences would be severe!
At that moment, Lin Yaodong had removed his glasses, his face contorted in rage, veins bulging on his forehead, as if he were about to devour someone alive!
Lin Yaohua and Lin Zonghui sat beside him, lips sealed, silent.
Lin Can stood trembling in a corner, his whole body shaking, cold sweat dripping down his forehead, unable to utter a word.
He knew he had made a grave error this time.
He had botched the job. The assassins he sent not only failed to complete their mission but were also apprehended.
More importantly, he was the one who had initially coordinated with Chen Guangrong to transfer Tang Xiaohu.
Chen Guangrong then delegated the task to Cai Jun.
Unbeknownst to them, both Kun Ge and Cai Jun had disappeared!
At that time, they suspected that the two men had been arrested.
Before he could devise a plan to locate Kun Ge’s wife, and simultaneously distance himself from Kun Ge, Chen Guangrong was also arrested!
When news of Chen Guangrong’s arrest reached Tazi, Lin Yaodong erupted in the most furious rage of his life!
He pointed at Lin Can, his voice laced with fury, “I told you to find someone to kill Tang Xiaohu, but you failed! Not only did you not kill him, but you also got our Chief Chen arrested!”
“You’ve gotten quite bold! Are you going to get me arrested next to make you happy? Huh?”
Lin Can fell to his knees with a thud, “Uncle Dong, I didn’t know things would turn out like this!”
“I’ve always done things this way before, and nothing like this ever happened...”
“Besides, who could have predicted that an investigative team would suddenly emerge, and even Chen Guangrong couldn’t handle it, and he got arrested?”
Lin Zonghui watched coldly as Lin Can pleaded, remaining silent.
His own son-in-law, Cai Jun, was also implicated by Lin Can, and his whereabouts were currently unknown.
It was highly likely that he had also been arrested by the investigative team.
His daughter, Lin Lan, would come to him crying every few days, begging him to save Cai Jun.
But his branch of the family was merely a figurehead in Tazi, with no real power.
The control over finances was firmly in the hands of the eldest and second branches.
How could he possibly save anyone?
Moreover, he held a personal grudge against Lin Can.
His son, Lin Erbao, had been crippled by Lin Can, and the score between them hadn’t been settled.
With Lin Can in trouble, Lin Zonghui was delighted, and he wouldn’t intervene on his behalf.
Lin Yaohua, however, couldn’t sit still. No matter how incompetent Lin Can was, he was his own son, and he had to protect him.
After some thought, he said to Lin Yaodong, “Brother, Lin Can isn’t entirely wrong.”
“We’ve been operating in Dongshan for so long, and our affairs in various departments have always been handled smoothly. When has there ever been such a major blunder?”
“In my opinion, the root of all problems lies with that investigative team! As long as we eliminate this pestilence, and with some pressure from Mayor Chen, Chen Guangrong should be able to come back...”
By now, Lin Yaodong had calmed down. In his view, losing one’s temper was a sign of weakness. He had simply been overcome by anger earlier.
If it were someone else, he wouldn’t have spared them.
But Lin Can was his own nephew, and he had to give some face to his brother.
He also had to consider Lin Yaohua’s feelings...
Now that he had calmed down, Lin Yaodong said coldly, “Eliminate the investigative team? Yaohua, have you gone mad?”
“Who is Li Weimin? He’s someone who can report directly to the higher-ups, a special envoy with absolute authority!”
“You dare touch him?”
“Should I just hand over my position as the head of the eldest branch to you?”
Lin Yaohua quickly waved his hands, “Brother, that’s not what I meant. We can’t eliminate Li Weimin, but we can slander him!”
“We can deposit some money into his or his wife and daughter’s accounts, or dig up some dirt from his past...”
“In any case, as long as we create some fabricated reasons, we can simply get him transferred out of Dongshan!”
Lin Yaodong pondered for a moment, thinking that this approach was indeed feasible.
He nodded, “You handle this, Yaohua.”
“I want Li Weimin to know who’s in charge in Dongshan!”
He glanced at Lin Can and emphasized, “You personally handle this! Don’t let that useless fool get involved!”
“Yes, yes, I’ll handle it myself!”
Lin Yaohua readily agreed.
He then interceded for Lin Can, “A Can was simply unlucky to run into that old fox Li Weimin. Perhaps we should give him another chance, let him atone for his sins...”
Lin Yaodong waved his hand, “Don’t speak for him. I know what I’m doing!”
He looked at Lin Can, “A Can, you may have already been exposed. From now on, you’re to cease all your work and stay at home under house arrest!”
“You are not allowed to go anywhere without my permission! Do you understand?”
Lin Can readily agreed, “Yes, I understand, Uncle Dong!”
