The three bodyguards and two secret sentries were actually a psychological tactic. Their purpose was to make Shi Zirui and the Wang family believe that all this was a trap set by the Lin family and was a premeditated arrangement.

It was indeed an arrangement, but it was not arranged by the Lin family. Initially, there were five bodyguards following Lin Xueyan, but as time went on, in this stable and war-free country where even possessing weapons is illegal, people always have to return to the normal rhythm of life. She didn't want to be a turtle indulging in the pain of the past, so after discussing with her family, the number of bodyguards was reduced to one.

A professional secret sentry, always by her side, responsible for security work, next to Lin Xueyan who is often accompanied by Secretary Yu, this is definitely enough, but this matter reveals a weird taste everywhere.

Secretary Yu happened to be away at the time of the incident. Almost at the same time, the mysterious secret sentry had his identity exposed and was restrained so tightly that he didn't even give an alarm signal.

If Chen Tinghan had not received the news early and reported the situation in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Too many coincidences prove that this is a setup, but the scary thing is that the person who set up this setup could be anyone, Wang Kai, Li Ze, Ai Chunxiao, Wang Jinling, or even...Mrs. Lin.

......

Looking at his two sisters lying in the back seat, already fast asleep, Chen Tinghan couldn't bear to wake them. Although they had already arrived at the compound, he decided to let them sleep first, and then he would come back after they had enough sleep in the car. He then carefully opened the car door and got out, a distance away from the compound and the car. Then, he stared in the direction of the compound, as if there was an abyss there that would devour anyone. He said to Secretary Yu beside him:

"I've always been reluctant to assume something sinister about 'my own people,' but today, Mrs. Lin's tactics and style of doing things really terrified me."

Secretary Yu was no longer laughing and joking as usual. Instead, he said calmly and seriously, "Mrs. Lin would never sell out her own blood relatives in exchange for any benefits."

"But the reality is, she's already betrayed us." Chen Tinghan shook his head and said, "I informed you of the situation immediately, but your final response was to wait. Wait, wait for what? Wait until the police take action, until the violence is confirmed, until the Wang family has the evidence in your hands."

"Why weren't you there at the time? How was the identity of that sentry identified? You must give me a reasonable explanation." Chen Tinghan said coldly: "After listening to your explanation, I still have to listen to others."

Secretary Yu sighed and lowered his voice, "I can't give you an explanation, because this matter is not something I can decide. I can only tell you that the young lady grew up under my care, and I absolutely would not want to harm her, let alone the lady, who is her biological daughter.

Think about it, there's definitely someone behind this. If we want to find the person who orchestrated this, and confront them on the spot, they'll have a thousand excuses to justify it, and we'll definitely be unable to control ourselves. Is there any point in standing on the street and staring them down?

"Is it more important to catch them, or is their safety?" Chen Tinghan said, "Don't forget, that group came prepared! The girl knows their faces, and there are surveillance cameras everywhere. Even if the monk can escape, the temple cannot. The reckoning will be the same, and there's no risk."

"They're all important." Secretary Yu emphasized, "That's why I want to thank you for reporting the important information in a timely manner. It gave us time to prepare and control the entire situation. We even managed to control that Wei man. If we can pry open his mouth, the Wang family will have to bow to Madam. This is of great significance. Do you understand?"

"I know. It's profitable, long-term, and preventative." Chen Tinghan said sarcastically, "Then do you know what my attitude is? My attitude is that I don't want them to be exposed to even the slightest risk. If they get bumped or lose a hair, I'll be furious!"

"You've even pried open Wei's mouth. I'm just fucking asking you, do you even know who you're targeting? Are they the bosses of Wanghai Friendship? Are they your Lin family's business competitors?"

Chen Tinghan became increasingly agitated as he spoke, his voice rising. "Those people are all desperate criminals. They've worked for the Wang family for so many years, so why would they trust them? Because they have countless handles on them, like strings on a puppet, pulling them from one end to the other. Anyone who dares to utter a single word will instantly vanish from the face of the earth, along with their entire clan!"

"Listen carefully, the rules they follow are not something you good citizens living in a law-abiding society can fully understand!"

These words suppressed Secretary Yu's hesitation several times. Until the last word fell, as if with a clanging sound, Secretary Yu shook his head and said, "You really are..."

He swallowed the word "stubborn donkey" back home without saying it out loud. After a while, Secretary Yu sorted out his thoughts and opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by the ringing of his cell phone.

Secretary Yu breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the caller, and finally picked up the phone.

It seemed that it was his subordinates who were reporting on their work. The voices were faint, but the meaning was conveyed accurately to Secretary Yu, making his expression even more gloomy. After a short while, he hung up the phone.

Secretary Yu then revealed a complicated expression and said to Chen Tinghan, "You are right, and Mrs. Lin is also right."

"What do you mean?" Chen Tinghan asked angrily, his anger still not dissipated.

"You're right. Desperadoes like these can't be pried open by ordinary means. That's why Madam didn't plan to pry him open so quickly from the beginning." Secretary Yu said, "We thought he might be murdered to silence him, so we instructed the police early on to keep a close eye on him."

"Many police officers were on guard against possible accidents. From the road to the hospital, there were guards. But despite all the precautions, he couldn't prevent it. He actually wanted to commit suicide."

Chen Tinghan closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Dead?"

"The police searched him, but he somehow managed to get a dagger and slit his own throat." Secretary Yu sighed, "They're currently trying to save him... The waters here are really deep."

Chen Tinghan immediately calmed down, opened his eyes, and asked, "Did he come into contact with anyone on the way to the hospital?"

"I guess something went wrong along the way," Secretary Yu said. "The transfer driver said he saw a suspicious man in black nearby. He wandered around for a moment and then left without much delay. We're still investigating the details."

"......" Chen Tinghan was silent, and a guess popped into his mind.
