Chapter 2758: Chapter 2759: Add Fuel to the Fire

Yanjing, Zhongzhuang Reservoir.

About 30 kilometers from the city center, many people enjoy coming here for wild fishing on their days off.

At this time, an Audi A6 parked by the reservoir.

Wang Ming opened the car door and stepped down leisurely toward the edge of the reservoir.

From his casual attire, it was clear he wasn’t here for fishing.

After walking for a few minutes, Wang Ming arrived at the embankment and squatted next to a middle-aged man.

“Uncle Sun.”

“Don’t squat, sit on my toolbox.”

The man speaking, named Sun Guangming, was dressed very simply in a white polo shirt and black shorts, with black sandals on his feet, looking much like an ordinary person.

However, he had another identity, Lin Yi’s chief interrogator.

“No thanks, if I break it, I can’t afford to pay.” Wang Ming said with a smile.

Sun Guangming also smiled, “Coming all the way out here to find me must be about Lin Yi.”

Wang Ming nodded, they got straight to the point without any unnecessary words.

“It’s been three or four days, you’ve gone through the materials, do you have any results now?”

“What result do you want?”

“Death penalty.”

“Life sentence is possible, but the death penalty is a bit of a stretch,” Sun Guangming put away his fishing rod, squeezed more bait onto it, and threw it back into the reservoir, saying:

“You’ve just returned to the country, and you’re unfamiliar with Lin Yi’s affairs. The title of Merit Team Leader isn’t for nothing.”

Sun Guangming stretched, lit a cigarette, and said:

“To be honest, with his status and influence, unless he blows up the Oriental Pearl or demolishes the Great Wall, no one can touch him. He’s that significant.”

Wang Ming looked grim and after a moment of silence, said:

“He trespassed into the Central Guards Brigade’s data room and injured public officials. Isn’t this a major crime?”

“True, but the person injured doesn’t want to admit it, so your statement doesn’t hold,” Sun Guangming said:

“As for the property damage you mentioned, that doesn’t stand either, because the statue was retrieved, and they claim it was part of the plan. From this angle, they’re not only innocent, they’ve done a good deed.”

“What about his connections with foreign forces?”

“That’s solid, he can’t escape from it,” Sun Guangming said with a subtle smile, “If we’re lucky, we might even be able to drag Liang Xianghe down with him.”

“Dragging Liang Xianghe down might be difficult. At this stage, as long as he gets destroyed, I’ll be satisfied.”

“The death penalty is difficult, but life imprisonment is certain.”

Wang Ming’s lips curled into a faint smile, “Then I’ll fan the flames a little more. It’s already burning this much; let’s make it hotter.”

…

It’s been four days since Lin Yi’s incident.

Ji Qingyan has poured all her energy into the Lingyun Group.

This massive financial machine, under Ji Qingyan’s command, was running at full speed, so much so that the entire building was lit up at night.

“Sister-in-law, eat something first.”

The next morning, Qin Han and Liang Jinming brought breakfast over for them.

“How are things at your home? Cut off what needs to be cut off, and we’ll talk once the storm has passed,” Ji Qingyan said.

“My dad said to let things take their course,” Qin Han said:

“Given our current scale, even if they wanted to take us down, it wouldn’t be easy.”

“Over the years, Lin Bro has helped us a lot. It’s not right to back off now that there’s trouble,” Liang Jinming said.

Ji Qingyan’s heart was a mix of emotions.

The situation had come to this, but with these people supporting her, all the fatigue seemed to dissipate.

“President Ji, the company’s affairs have come to a close. You’ve been busy for days, you and Tao Yuan should both take a rest. I’ll handle things today,” Qi Xianzhao said.

Ji Qingyan nodded, wanting not only to rest but also to go back to see her child.

“You watch over the company first, I’ll be back this afternoon.”

“No rush.”

After a brief meal, Ji Qingyan left with He Yuanyuan.

But Qin Han and the other two stayed to help with other matters.

“Old Qi, is there any issue left unresolved at the company?” Qin Han lit a cigarette and asked.

“The only issue remaining is with Didi,” Qi Xianzhao said:

“It has already touched on the monopoly red line. If this problem isn’t handled thoroughly, combined with previous negative news, it could very well become a breakthrough point.”

The three fell silent; dealing with the monopoly wasn’t easy.

Aside from personal planning, user choice is also a crucial factor.

If people think you’re good, affordable, they’ll ultimately choose you and abandon other platforms.

Over time, it leads to a trend of monopoly.

The only way to get rid of such a predicament is to give up market share.

But this doesn’t align with corporate interests.

“We’re not suited to tackle such complex issues,” Liang Jinming said:

“Does President Ji have any good plans?”

“It’s a fact, she too has no way of handling it,” Qi Xianzhao sighed, saying:

“Generally speaking, such matters are industry norms; everyone turns a blind eye and according to the rules just pay some fines, but it’s always a flaw, hard to manage.”

“Nothing can be done, after all, no one is clean, and if people want to find fault, you’re powerless.”

“Maybe I’m worrying too much; it’s ultimately a minor issue, and even if someone does nitpick, it might not get noticed.”

Qi Xianzhao looked at the clock, “I have other matters to attend to, let’s talk later.”

“Hmm.”

Qi Xianzhao left Lin Yi’s office, and Liang Jinming half-lay on the couch, putting his feet up on the coffee table.

“Do you think, in the next few days, we could set up a new company, or acquire a small one with related business, transfer the data, and it wouldn’t constitute a monopoly?”

“There’s no time,” Gao Zongyuan said:

“If the opponent actually gives you that much time, none of these issues would exist now.”

Liang Jinming thought for a moment, and Gao Zongyuan made sense.

“Brother Qin, why are you not talking, give us some feedback.”

“The issues you’re discussing aren’t the real problem,” Qin Han said:

“The main issue now is that Old Lin is captured!”

Qin Han, with a cigarette in his mouth, continued:

“Think about it, what kind of person is Old Lin? Would it be possible to capture him over something trivial? I’m seriously worried, it’s a question if Old Lin can come out.”

The two listened and fell silent.

Qin Han was right; the core of the issue wasn’t how to protect the Lingyun Group but how to get Lin Yi out.

I was a bit too optimistic and lost direction.
