"The young master is inside, please come in," Zheng Guang led Su Jinyuan in.

Su Jinyuan followed behind, while Zhao Jiangchen and the others, holding gifts, were quite polite to Zheng Guang. They had heard a bit about Zheng Guang, being an innate expert! Someone who was once unreachable was now standing in front of them; how could they not be polite?

Zheng Guang arrived at the entrance of the villa and then pressed the doorbell a few times.

Inside, Lin Ruyu and the two women heard the doorbell and looked towards the door.

Seeing her father, Su Qing was so excited that she ran over barefoot.

Su Qing's mischievous and adorable appearance made Lin Ruyu shake her head with a smile, but she also followed Su Qing to open the door.

After opening the door, Su Qing quickly bypassed Zheng Guang and wrapped her arms around Su Jinyuan's neck, sweetly saying, "Dad! You're here."

"Haha, girl, why are you so happy?" Su Jinyuan's face was filled with smiles as he asked with a laugh after seeing Su Qing.

"Dad, you're here, so I'm happy!" Su Qing pulled Su Jinyuan's hand and walked into the villa. Lin Ruyu also greeted obediently after seeing Su Jinyuan, "Hello, Uncle Su."

"Hello, Uncle Zhao and Uncle Chen," Lin Ruyu, unlike Su Qing, was a woman who understood social interactions and did not overlook Chen Lingyun and Zhao Jiangchen despite Su Jinyuan being the highest official.

After all, she was the hostess of this villa, and even though Ye Hao was the man of the house, since Ye Hao wasn't here, she had to take on the responsibility of hosting, otherwise it would leave a rude impression of this villa.

"Haha, good, good, good," Chen Lingyun and Zhao Jiangchen nodded and greeted Lin Ruyu.

After entering the hall, Chen Lingyun placed premium Maotai on the wine cabinet, and Zhao Jiangchen handed fresh fruits to Lin Ruyu.

Lin Ruyu accepted them with a smile and jokingly said, "Uncle Zhao, Uncle Chen, you shouldn't have, coming over is enough, why bring so much fruit? We also have plenty at home."

"Haha, home has its own supply, but what we brought is fresh," Chen Lingyun laughed.

At this moment, Su Jinyuan asked, "Where did that boy go?"

"Dad! Ye is inside cooking," Su Qing answered while peeling an apple for Su Jinyuan.

Lin Ruyu, however, smiled and walked into the kitchen; it was the men's time after all, and Lin Ruyu didn't involve herself much.

After entering the kitchen, Lin Ruyu smiled and said, "Hao, Uncle Su is here."

Ye Hao nodded but did not stop his actions. He was making Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, a famous Han Chinese dish! A pot of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall contains precious ingredients like sea cucumbers, abalone, shark fin, fish lips, and dried scallops.

If the cooking time isn't grasped well, the dish will be ruined immediately.

Ye Hao tinkered for another two minutes, then turned down the heat, and finally turned back with a smile, "Help me watch the heat, don't let the coal fire grow too big."

"Okay, you go ahead!" Lin Ruyu smilingly took over the apron from Ye Hao, then watched the heat for him.

After leaving the kitchen, Ye Hao quickly approached Su Jinyuan and shouted, "Dad."

Su Jinyuan nodded, and Ye Hao looked towards Chen Lingyun and Zhao Jiangchen, saying, "Uncle Chen, Uncle Zhao."

"Haha, Nephew Ye, come sit," Chen Lingyun moved aside, making room for Ye Hao to sit.

Chen Lingyun's behavior made Su Jinyuan secretly wonder just what benefits Ye Hao had given Chen Lingyun to make a deputy minister-level big shot yield his seat to Ye Hao?

"You're too kind, Uncle Chen," Ye Hao politely said, then sat down.

After some small talk, Su Jinyuan asked, "Kid, why did you call us over?"

"To show you some documents," Ye Hao smiled, took a backpack from below the desk, and found some documents to give to the three.

The three of them looked at the file covers in confusion, which had dates and general matters written on them.

Su Jinyuan opened a file but furrowed his brow after seeing the content. These transactions seemed to be illicit!

Chen Lingyun and Zhao Jiangchen were looking at documents about the actions of the Mao Zhan gang. Chen Lingyun, after less than a minute, slammed the documents on the desk and shouted angrily, "Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous, are these things done by humans?"

Zhao Jiangchen also angrily looked at the documents in his hand but did not explosively slam them on the desk like Chen Lingyun did.

Su Jinyuan looked at Chen Lingyun in bewilderment; how angry must he be to lose his composure like this?

"What's wrong, Old Chen?" Su Jinyuan put down the transaction records in his hand and asked.

"Secretary, take a look at this, see if these are acts done by humans; it's outrageous and utterly unscrupulous. How on earth is Zhan City being managed by its people? These people deserve to be executed," Chen Lingyun angrily took the documents he had reviewed and handed them to Su Jinyuan.

Su Jinyuan took the documents with a puzzled expression and began to read them.

With a quick overview, when he read about the Mao Zhan gang brutally killing more than ten lives for profit and even discarding bodies in the wilderness, he stood up in anger.

"Where did these documents come from," Su Jinyuan asked Ye Hao with an undisguised look of rage, though obviously, his anger was directed at Mao Zhan and not at Ye Hao.

Su Qing was a bit scared and shrank into the corner of the sofa.

Ye Hao did not rush to answer Su Jinyuan but first escorted Su Qing to the kitchen before returning to answer Su Jinyuan, "The documents were obtained from the third in command of the Mao Zhan gang, Yan Zhong."

"How reliable is it?"

"That depends on how thoroughly you investigate; I just handed over a document," Ye Hao replied.

"Lingyun, the entire matter will be handled by you. You must root out these pests. If we don't remove these pests, Huaxia's stability will eventually be threatened by them," Su Jinyuan's face glowed with anger and fury at the actions of the local municipal party committee.

"Secretary, rest assured, as long as I, Chen Lingyun, remain upright, I will dedicate all my efforts to eliminating these pests," Chen Lingyun's eyes were filled with determination.

"Get back to taking care of it immediately!" Su Jinyuan did not want Mao Zhan's outlaws to remain at large for even a moment longer, so he directly ordered Chen Lingyun to return to the provincial party committee to lead the crackdown.

"Yes, Secretary," Chen Lingyun replied and left alone.

He didn't even say goodbye to Ye Hao before leaving, which showed just how angry he was at the actions of the Mao Zhan group.

In fact, this phenomenon was not unique to the Mao Zhan group; other places had similar issues; it was just that other groups acted more covertly and went unnoticed.

Zhao Jiangchen picked up another set of documents, and his face grew more severe as he read.

Su Jinyuan also continued examining those documents.

When they had both reviewed most of the documents, Su Jinyuan could no longer contain his anger and forcefully stuffed the documents back into the backpack.

"Kid, today by providing these documents, you've made a huge contribution to Zhan City. Once Zhan City is roughly cleaned up, come invest there," Su Jinyuan said and left with Zhao Jiangchen.
