"Okay! Father, I'll investigate this in the next few days!" Zhou Haiyuan quickly put away the documents.

Zhou Chuangui rolled his eyes at him, a cold glint in his eyes. "It's not an investigation, but a case of 'better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free.' I hope you won't disappoint me this time. If you continue to be so indecisive, then you can forget about being the president of Xinyuan Group."

"Yes, Father!" Zhou Haiyuan withdrew respectfully, his expression unchanged.

Zhou Haiyuan pushed open the door and walked out. Facing his subordinates, he put on a warm and welcoming smile, as if the timid and submissive man from just moments before had never existed.

It wasn't until he returned to his own room that he revealed his unpredictable expression.

The title of president of Xinyuan Group sounds impressive, but real power is actually in the hands of the old man. He is just a target in the open.

If it weren't for the eldest brother's unexpected death and the third brother's lack of experience, the old man wouldn't have pushed him up.

Zhou Haiyuan sighed inwardly. He knew his background was embarrassing, which was why he worked twice as hard. But even so, in the old man's heart, he was still no match for his good-for-nothing youngest son.

He could only earn a little bit of praise from his father by working even harder.

He flipped through the three remaining documents. Regardless of whether they were the perpetrators or not, they had to be apprehended in one fell swoop; they were just unlucky.

Wait, there she is!

Zhou Haiyuan looked at the cold and beautiful woman in the photo. Her eyebrows and eyes were exquisite, and her temperament was otherworldly. It was Ye Ning.

He recalled their meeting at the beach; she was a stunning beauty, but sadly, she was about to die.

Zhou Haiyuan casually tossed the documents onto the table, and a large X was drawn on Ye Ning's face.

Zhou Haiyuan appears to be gentle and refined on the surface, but in reality he is a decisive and efficient person.

The next day, he began his purge plan. His first target was Wu Di, who was based in an underground shopping mall in the western part of City A. Wu Di was originally just an ordinary warehouse manager. After the apocalypse, he used the supplies in the warehouse to gather a large number of people and his power grew rapidly. Moreover, he had a batch of firearms of unknown origin.

It wasn't that Zhou Haiyuan was being merciful to women; he targeted Wu Di first because he was closest to Warehouse No. 3, making him the prime suspect.

Zhou Haiyuan, along with the people from Xinyuan Group, swiftly surrounded the underground shopping mall where Wu Di was based.

This band of peasant soldiers was no match for the well-trained Xinyuan Group; they were wiped out in just 20 minutes.

"President, we haven't been able to find the shipment in Warehouse No. 3!" a handsome man in a bulletproof vest reported respectfully.

"Have you searched everywhere?" Zhou Haiyuan frowned; it wasn't there.

"We've searched everywhere! There's definitely no trace of that batch of goods."

"Arrest all the survivors and torture them severely." Zhou Haiyuan elegantly adjusted his cufflinks.

"Yes, Mr. President!"

A day later, the results of the interrogation came out.

Inside a stretched Lincoln, Zhou Haiyuan took a puff of his cigar and then casually flicked the ash onto the floor.

"President, our interrogation results are in. It was definitely not these people who did it. Their batch of weapons was stolen from a special customer on the black market, and has absolutely nothing to do with Warehouse No. 3!" An old man in a suit and tie knelt on the ground and said respectfully.

Zhou Haiyuan took another deep drag of his cigar, then exhaled a smoke ring. "In that case, let's move on to the next one!"

A day later, the same thing happened again in Shinan District.

Facing an opponent who was completely powerless to fight back, this was simply a brutal massacre.

"President, this isn't it either!" The old man wiped the cold sweat from his brow.

Zhou Haiyuan's expression was unpredictable.

"Is that so?" He pressed the burning cigar directly onto the old man's exposed skin.

A smell of burnt flesh filled the entire carriage.

"Yes! We've already interrogated him! It's true, it's true, it's not true." The old man trembled all over from the pain, but he endured it without daring to show it at all.

"Has he already been tortured?" The bright red cigar was ground against his skin again.

"Yes, Second Young Master!" he hurriedly replied.

"Alright then! Let's hurry up and move on to the next one!" Zhou Haiyuan regained his usual amiable demeanor, as if he wasn't the tyrannical person he had just been.

The old man stepped out of the stretch Lincoln, trembling all over. The guards standing by the car door quickly surrounded him and helped him up.

"Uncle Zhou, are you alright? Oh! Your hand!" The burn from the cigarette butt was the size of half an egg and was already charred black.

"I'm fine, I'm fine! It'll be taken care of in a bit!" Uncle Zhou quickly said in a low voice.

"Uncle Zhou, you should go and treat it quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome if it gets infected!" Medicine is the most scarce right now, especially anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics.

Uncle Zhou nodded, clutching his arm, and walked unsteadily toward another car.

Meanwhile, Ye Ning's sanctuary was located there.

"So, Xinyuan Group has already taken action against the forces they consider suspicious in City A?" Ye Ning asked, her hands behind her back.

Sitting next to the coffee table was Hu Tianxia, ​​the former president of the detective agency.

"That's right! They've already wiped out two companies!"

"So, do you know who they're going to target next?" Xiao Jingchen asked, frowning.

"Well! We don't know the specifics either, but Miss Ye, you'd better prepare early. My insider at Xinyuan Group told me that it seems you've also been put on Xinyuan Group's list."

Hu Tianxia took a sip of the Tieguanyin tea in his cup. The tea soup was as clear as transparent jade, and the refreshing aroma was like a gift from nature. It was truly a rare and excellent tea.

"Miss Ye, I suggest you make preparations in advance!" Hu Tianxia put down his teacup.

"Mr. Hu, do you know how many people they deployed in the first two attacks?"

"The first time, 100 people were dispatched, and the second time, 150 people were dispatched."

The number of people being mobilized is increasing each time; it seems that Xinyuan Group is getting anxious.

"Okay! I understand!" This time, Xinyuan Group stopped pretending and completely revealed its true colors.

"Mr. Hu, thanks to your information this time! I'll talk to Gao Feng later and have him prepare a reward for you." Rewarding merit has always been Ye Ning's principle.

On the other hand, Hu Tianxia was indeed skilled at intelligence gathering.

"What do you think of Jingchen's situation this time?" After Hu Tianxia left, Ye Ning looked at Xiao Jingchen.

"Xinyuan Group is probably after the weapons in Warehouse No. 3. It seems they've become aware of this! Just in case, we should prepare in advance!"

"I think so too!" Ye Ning had a premonition that they might be the next ones targeted.
