On the other side, in a villa in the Provincial City, a middle-aged man wearing a traditional Chinese outfit had just woken from his sleep.

As soon as he got up, a servant beside him brought over a cup of hot tea.

The middle-aged man took a sip of the hot tea, a look of contentment appearing on his face.

At that moment, the butler rushed over.

"Mr. Yang, there's someone outside looking for you."

Upon hearing that someone was looking for him, the middle-aged man did not rush but got up to wash under the servant's guidance.

It took about half an hour before he slowly came downstairs.

Sitting downstairs at this time was a well-mannered gentleman.

The man was quite delicate-looking. If he wore a wig, he would definitely resemble a young lady.

Upon seeing the man, the middle-aged man's eyebrows raised slightly.

"He Tao? Why are you here?"

"The boss came to see Mr. Yang."

With that, He Tao pointed to some supplements placed aside.

Seeing these supplements, the middle-aged man laughed heartily.

"Ah, Brother Lin is really thoughtful, still remembers his little brother."

Then the middle-aged man sat down on a chair, and a servant brought over a cup of tea.

"Come on, tell me, besides coming to see me, what else brings you here today."

Smart people could tell that He Tao's visit was not just about catching up.

Having been seen through by Yang Zhiming, He Tao didn't become impatient but smiled slightly.

"Mr. Yang is indeed impressive. Since it's so, I won't hide anything."

At this point, He Tao paused and looked towards Yang Zhiming.

"My boss wants to protect Su Ming!"

As soon as He Tao said this, Yang Zhiming's wrist trembled slightly.

Immediately, he raised his head and looked at He Tao.

"What did you say?"

"My boss wants to protect Su Ming."

The name Su Ming had been repeatedly mentioned around Yang Zhiming recently.

But he never expected that Su Ming could be connected to Lin Zhenbei.

"What is Brother Lin's relationship with Su Ming?"

He raised his head and looked at He Tao.

"The specifics of their relationship I won't detail much, but I can tell you, Mr. Yang, Su Ming's wife also has the surname Lin."

Words were enough, speaking further was useless.

Yang Zhiming's face turned completely gloomy at this moment.

Back when he had just started his political career, it was thanks to Lin Zhenbei that he had reached where he was today.

It can be said, Lin Zhenbei was his benefactor.

And the reason he accumulated so much wealth over the years was all because of Lao Qiweng.

At this moment, Yang Zhiming couldn't help but find himself in a predicament.

"Is Brother Lin really going to come to me because of such a young brat like Su Ming?"

Connections are a limited resource.

Yang Zhiming still found it hard to believe Lin Zhenbei would seek him out over Su Ming.

But looking at He Tao's certain expression, Yang Zhiming was also assured.

After thinking long and hard, he stood up and looked at He Tao.

"Go back and tell Brother Lin, this matter, I agree."

Upon hearing Yang Zhiming's response, He Tao smiled and stood up.

"That's good, then I'll go back and reply."

After He Tao left, Yang Zhiming's face remained sullen.

After a while, Yang Zhiming took out his phone and dialed a number.

Wendong Group

As a prominent presence in the Provincial City, Wendong Group is undoubtedly a force many look up to.

In the chairman's office,

Listening to the report from his subordinate, Lao Qiweng's face grew increasingly harsh.

"Yu Hua, that useless waste. Sent to Longcheng, yet still crippled by someone. Have you found out who did it?"

Facing Lao Qiweng's question, the subordinate swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly.

"No, no, Director Yu refuses to mention who did it."

Upon hearing this, Lao Qiweng squinted his eyes.

"That old fox."

Anyone in this position isn't foolish.

Lao Qiweng naturally knew that Yu Hua was hiding something from him.

But he didn't care, after all, regardless of how Yu Hua tussled, he was still under his command.

Even if it turned the world upside down, he could still press him to the ground.

Just then, Lao Qiweng's phone rang. Picking it up, his eyebrows furrowed.

But eventually, he answered the call.

"Sir, what is it? Took the time to call me?"

Yang Zhiming over there was silent for a long while before speaking: "Regarding Su Ming, it ends here, and he needs to be exonerated."

Initially, Lao Qiweng thought he had misheard.

But when Yang Zhiming repeated it, Lao Qiweng's mouth twitched slightly, his voice beginning to tremble.

"Ends here? Why should it just end like this? That guy killed my younger brother, how could I just let it go?"

Now that things have reached this point, capturing Su Ming would solve all problems.

In front of the goal, should it just end like this?

Lao Qiweng was unwilling and could not let it go.

Yang Zhiming didn't care about Lao Qiweng's rage, his voice remained quite calm.

"I said, it ends here."

"Impossible!"

Lao Qiweng clenched his teeth and growled decisively.

Facing Lao Qiweng's defiance, Yang Zhiming merely sneered.

"Ha, Lao Qiweng, your wings are strong now, you're not even listening to me?"

"I made you the chairman of Wendong Group, achieved Wendong Group's current glory under your command, and I can also strip it all away."

Upon hearing these words, cold sweat drenched Lao Qiweng's back instantly.

He softened his tone, speaking quietly.

"He killed my younger brother, that was my own brother. I promised my parents I would take care of him. How do I face my parents now?"

Yang Zhiming understood Lao Qiweng's sentiment, explaining: "The power behind Su Ming is strong; you cannot afford to offend."

"His backing? Ha, isn't it just Lin Yanan? What do I have to fear?"

Lao Qiweng laughed coldly, utterly refusing to believe Yang Zhiming's words.

With such a vast force now, being the chairman of Wendong Group, even if Lin Yanan was powerful, she couldn't swallow him whole.

Faced with Lao Qiweng's madness, Yang Zhiming showed no patience for further entanglement, directly stating: "It is precisely because of Lin Yanan, do you know who Lin Yanan's father is? It's Lin Zhenbei. Whether you've heard of Lin Zhenbei or not, I don't care, but I can tell you, even I dare not offend Lin Zhenbei."

"You have money, yes, but so what? Money will never outweigh power! I can make you as successful, but with one word, Lin Zhenbei can render you penniless."

"Today you're the chairman of Wendong Group, an esteemed guest, but tomorrow, you might be dragged down, becoming a prisoner. I hope, when that time comes, you don't regret your decision today!"

With those words, Yang Zhiming ended the call abruptly without further ado.
