Volume 1: The Strongest Returns Chapter 39: Trouble's Source!

  In the morning, he went to the police station and by noon, Lin Yu had already returned to Yang Mu Xue's villa.

  "Huh, you didn't go to the company?" When Lin Yu returned home, he was somewhat surprised to find that Yang Mu Xue was actually staying at home.

  When Lin Yu came back, Yang Mu Xue's face showed a smile, a bit forced and a bit strange. Lin Yu felt a little weird and casually sat down on the sofa next to Yang Mu Xue, asking: "What's wrong? You look like something is off, did you encounter some problem with your work?"

  Yang Muxue's gaze fell on Lin Yu's face, and then slowly opened his mouth: "Lin Yu, Zhou Haitao is dead!"

  "Dead?" Lin Yu looked at Yang Mu Xue: "If he's dead, then so be it. Why are you so tense? This kind of scum should have died long ago!"

  "Lin Yu, was it you?!" Yang Muxue suddenly spoke up: "Was it you who killed Zhou Haitao last night? What were you doing going out last night?"

  Although there is no direct evidence, Yang Muxue has a kind of instinctive intuition that this thing was done by Lin Yu.

  "It wasn't me!" Lin Yu smiled and said: "You're thinking too much, by the way haven't you seen the news?"

  "What news?" Yang Muxue was somewhat surprised.

  Lin Yu smiled and said, "This matter has been settled. It's a vendetta between underworld organizations. Zhang Lingjing, Zhou Haitao, and several others collaborated with the gang because of a dispute over interests, and were eventually taken care of by the gang!"

  Really?

  Yang Muxue was half-believing and half-doubting.

  Lin Yu smiled and said: "Don't believe me? Just take a look at the news, I reckon this will be today's headline. By the way, have you prepared lunch? I'm starving!"

  "Die of gluttony, Big Eater!" Yang Muxue rolled her eyes at Lin Yu.

  Lin Yu couldn't help but smile slightly: "You look really cute like this!"

  Yang Muxue also paused for a moment, but in her heart, subtle changes had emerged. Unbeknownst to herself, she had already accepted this man. She glanced at Lin Yu again and stood up, trying to make herself colder: "Lan's mother is preparing lunch, we can eat soon, I'll go to my room for now!"

  Yang Muxue quickly returned to her own room and opened her computer to browse today's news.

  With Zhang Ling's downfall, the officialdom of Donghai also boiled for a while.

  Zhang Lingjing's relationship network originally saw Zhang Lingjing take all the blame on himself, and just as he was about to let out a sigh of relief, Huang Yong'er also ruthlessly swung her butcher knife.

  Soon, Zhang Lingjing's network of relationships, some problematic officials fell one by one. His network didn't necessarily consist entirely of greedy people, but rather those who wanted to climb up the ranks with all their might. In this imperial court, as long as you had enough power in your hands, you would never lack money. After purging a portion of the corrupt elements, another portion was severely warned, and it can be imagined that these warned individuals also had bleak futures ahead of them.

  However, Lin Yu was too lazy to care about all this, as long as he was living well, let them go to hell.

  To Lin Yu, all of this was unimportant, but to some people, it was no less than a thunderclap on a clear day.

  Apart from Zhang Ling's network, the first to be affected would be the Black Tiger Gang.

  Although there is no clear explanation that Zhang Lingjing cooperated with the Black Tiger Gang, the police are not fools. At the first time, they investigated the identities of Hong Zhenli and Du Leng, and then found the Black Tiger Gang by following the clues.

  Immediately after Hei Hu Bang, they suffered from the police's key care.

  And Cao Xiong, the big brother of the Black Tiger Gang, was also invited into the yamen for interrogation.

  However, the result of the interrogation was not very ideal. Cao Xiong had long since washed his identity clean and had no criminal record. In name, he was only the chairman of the Hu Yue Group, and there was no direct evidence. Cao Xiong was finally released unharmed.

  Although Cao Xiong was released, the Black Tiger Gang suffered a blow from the police.

  Some entertainment venues and underground casinos were shut down by the police, and some of the core members of the Black Tiger Gang were also arrested. Cao Xiong was able to clear his own name, but it was impossible for him to clear everyone's name.

  This time, the Black Tiger Gang suffered a severe blow, which can be said to have been seriously injured.

  Black Tiger Club!

  Cao Xiong listened to Gu Hongsha's report with a gloomy face.

  "Brother Hung, this time we lost the hall masters of six gangs. Apart from that, Donglin Society took advantage of us and we lost more than 60 brothers. More importantly, the police shut down our casino and underground boxing arena. I roughly estimated that our losses are approximately 480 million!"

  Money!

  Cao Xiong narrowed his eyes and slowly opened his mouth: "Use our connections, throw money around, and quickly settle this matter for me. Our casino and underground boxing arena must be opened as soon as possible!"

  Yes!

  Gu Hongsha nodded, her mind was very clear. The profits from the underground casinos and boxing matches in Donghai were enormous. After deducting the cost of maintaining official relationships and various expenses for the Black Tiger Gang brothers, the losses would be huge if they stopped operating for just one day. The Black Tiger Gang had not completely gone legitimate, and their illicit businesses still accounted for a large proportion of their income. Without black income for an extended period, the Black Tiger Gang would also collapse.

  "Damn it, didn't expect that!" Cao Xiong lit a cigar and squinted his eyes as he smoked: "This time I actually fell into the hands of a young whippersnapper, those two guys Hong Zhenli and Du Leng are really useless!"

  "Brother Cao, don't take it to heart!" Gu Hongsha smiled and came to Cao Xiong's side, gently massaging his shoulders: "This is only temporary, wanting to destroy our Black Tiger Gang isn't that easy!"

  "Hah!" Cao Xiong pinched Gu Hongsha's chest with force, a lewd smile spreading across his face. Then, his voice turned ruthless: "But that little bastard really gets my blood boiling! I just can't swallow this insult!"

  When he spoke, Cao Xiong's eyes flashed with a cold light: "Let the subordinates investigate Lin Yu and see what kind of background he has. Can we afford to provoke him? If it's ordinary, I will make him wish he were dead!"

  "I understand!" Gu Hongsha nodded and continued: "Xiong Ge, don't be angry anymore. What about the families of Hong Zhenli and Du Leng?"

  Cao Xiong sneered and said calmly, "Hong Sha, you've been following me for a long time, do I need to teach you how to handle things? I gave them money, status, and let them live like humans, but these two traitors betrayed the Black Tiger Gang. If I don't take action, how can I convince the others?"

  Gu Hongsha could only remain silent, he understood Cao Xiong's temperament, which would not tolerate betrayal. Once betrayed, the consequences would be extremely tragic, not just for you, but also for your family members, who would suffer the most ruthless revenge.

  That's Cao Xiong's trick.
