Didn't you just say you wanted to save face? Why did you bring weapons?

Lin Yaodong looked at the gates of Xitan Palace, his heart filled with envy; this single estate alone was worth half the market value of the Lin Group.

In other words, he had worked hard for the better part of his life just to afford one such manor.

And he would have to sell his company to afford it, which made him feel an inexplicable bitterness.

Poor, he was just too poor!

Even more unexpected was when the Bodyguard at the gate, after receiving word from inside, said to Lin Yaodong, "The Young Master won't see you. Leave at once." His tone was devoid of any emotion.

Hearing this, Lin Yaodong could hardly believe his ears.

He wouldn't see him? Wang Shaojun actually refused to see him?

Did the other party really intend to drive the Lin Family to their deaths?

Though his expression was grim, he didn't dare lose his temper here and silently turned back to his car.

Seeing this, the driver understood his boss had been turned away. Not knowing what to say, he sat in the driver's seat in silence.

The two sat quietly in the car for two minutes. After weighing his options for a long time, Lin Yaodong said with a dark face, "Back to the Group!"

He couldn't even see Wang Shaojun's face; this was enough to show that the other party didn't care about his Lin Group at all. No wonder there had been no movement for so long.

It turned out he had really forgotten about the Lin Group!

To think that he, a chairman of a group worth tens of billions, would one day be turned away at the door.

In the past, it was always others who lowered themselves to see him. Now the tables had turned, and it was his turn to humble himself to see others—and most importantly, he still couldn't see them.

Since this path was blocked, he could only place his hopes on Lin Hao. As long as they could tie themselves to the Li Family of Hong Kong Island, there was still a chance to save the Lin Group... 8:00 PM, Hong Kong Island!

Lin Hao was naturally unaware of the scene outside Xitan Palace. Upon arriving on Hong Kong Island, he immediately asked Li Yangqing out for a meeting.

At first, when Li Yangqing heard it was the Shanghai Lin Family, he didn't want to meet. However, after learning about the Lin Family's current predicament, he suddenly became interested.

Meanwhile, inside the presidential suite of the hotel where Huang Lin was staying.

A young man ran in hurriedly from outside. "Young Master Huang, good news! Li Yangqing has come out."

Inside the presidential suite, Huang Lin, who was playing cards, immediately put them down and waved his hand. "Damn, is he finally willing to come out? I thought he didn't plan on leaving the Li Family Compound at all this year."

Let's go and see our old friend. Everyone, stay sharp later. If the situation is right, beat him up as hard as you can. If things look bad, hit him and then run."

"Huh? Young Master Huang, isn't this a bit much? I just heard that Tianmen Group is being investigated. Won't we get into trouble if we do this?"

Huang Lin was immediately displeased upon hearing this. "What? If you're scared, just stay here and play Solitaire by yourself. Cowards don't deserve to be in this circle. Those who aren't afraid, follow me."

"Young Master Huang is right! In the past, we might have let it go since his Li Family is indeed powerful, but this time we're acting as the vanguard for Brother Jun. What's there to fear!"

In their view, if someone of Huang Lin's status dared to take the risk, he must have received guidance from Wang Shaojun. They were doing this to help Wang Shaojun deal with Li Yangqing; even if something happened in the end, the other party surely wouldn't leave them high and dry.

Otherwise, who would dare to get close to him in the future? Therefore, with Huang Lin there, they felt they had nothing to fear.

Of course, not everyone thought this way. Of the five people who had come to Hong Kong Island with Huang Lin, only two followed him out of the hotel.

This made Huang Lin furious. After walking out of the hotel, he couldn't help but curse, "Damn it! Those three cowards were shouting the loudest before we came, yet they dropped the ball at the critical moment."

You two, spread the word when we get back. From now on, cut off all ties with those three. My, Huang Lin's, circle doesn't need people like that."

"Young Master Huang, are we still going to find Li Yangqing then? Since they deserted us, will they secretly tip him off?"

"We're going. If they dare to tip him off, just wait until we get back to Shanghai and see how I deal with them. By the way, you said Li Yangqing left the Li Family Compound—where is he now?"

The young man who had reported the news smiled and said, "Don't worry, Young Master Huang. I have people following him. We should have news very soon."

Just as he finished speaking, his phone suddenly rang. He picked it up, gave a couple of responses, and then hung up.

"Young Master Huang, he's at the Spade Bar. But interestingly, it seems that fellow Lin Hao is there too."

Huang Lin and the other person couldn't help but glance at each other, both seeing the confusion in the other's eyes.

They didn't understand what Lin Hao was trying to do. However, that wasn't their concern. Although the Lin Group wasn't small, it was still insignificant compared to the Huang Family.

"Good! Li Yangqing humiliated me at a bar before, and now he's at a bar again. It seems even the heavens want me to get my dignity back. Let's go, to the Spade Bar!"

After saying that, he walked toward the sports cars parked in the distance. It was a row of supercars, each with a Hong Kong Island license plate.

Just as they opened their car doors and were about to get in, a motorcycle suddenly sped toward them and came to a steady stop right in front of Huang Lin.

Huang Lin looked up, and their eyes met. Seeing the other person's cold gaze, his heart tightened. Before he could do anything, the person tossed a handbag from the bike at his feet and said coldly, "Hong Kong Island hasn't been peaceful lately. This is for your protection, from the Young Master."

Without staying any longer, the person twisted the throttle and quickly rode away.

Huang Lin hadn't even had time to speak throughout the encounter because he still hadn't snapped out of it.

He had thought Li Yangqing already knew their whereabouts and had specifically hired an assassin to take them out.

The other two saw this and looked at each other in bewilderment. "Young Master Huang, what's the situation? Who was that guy?"

"What's in this bag!"

One of them fixed his gaze on the handbag at Huang Lin's feet, filled with curiosity about its contents.

Huang Lin came to his senses and picked up the bag, thinking to himself: the 'Young Master' that person mentioned—could it be Wang Shaojun?

However, when his hand touched the items inside the bag, his eyes widened like saucers. He looked left and right, then hurriedly tossed it onto the driver's seat.

The two people beside him became even more confused upon seeing this.

"Young Master Huang, what's with that expression? It couldn't be..."

Hearing this, Huang Lin didn't give them a direct answer but simply nodded slightly. "Enough talk. Get in the car. We're going to the Spade Bar."

Seeing his silent confirmation, the two were shocked to the core.

Didn't we say we were just coming to get our dignity back? Why are we carrying heat now?

This could cost someone their life! Also, who was that person just now? Why would they send this stuff to them?

At this moment, the two were full of confusion and doubt. They were rich second-generation heirs, yes, but they weren't fools. Beating someone up and killing someone were two completely different concepts.

The former could be settled with some money, but the latter was different; it would cost a lot of money, and getting away with it would be very troublesome.

But at this point, they could only try to persuade Huang Lin to stay calm.
