Ma Jun raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Is the Lin family that remarkable?"

Long Xiaosheng replied, "The Lin family of Yuncheng once made it into the top ten of the Forbes rich list."

"But because it was too high-profile, the Lin family was worried that it would attract jealousy and cause unnecessary trouble, so they tried to remove it from the list."

"Nobody knows exactly how much wealth the Lin family has right now. To put it simply, the Lin family's money is their biggest advantage."

"Correspondingly, a wealthy family means that businesses are everywhere and connections are naturally extensive. If you offend the Lin family, they will naturally have their own ways of retaliating."

Ma Jun gritted his teeth. "If that's the case, it's very likely that the Lin family is behind this."

Long Xiaosheng asked curiously, "How could A-Biao have a grudge against the Lin family?"

Ma Jun briefly recounted the incident: "That man surnamed Lin came to see me. We had already reached an agreement, but I didn't expect him to be so petty and even retaliate against me."

Long Xiaosheng spoke up, "I've heard the name Wen Shu from you several times. To be honest, after hearing you mention it so many times, I'm very curious about who this girl is and how she keeps offending people she shouldn't have."

Ma Jun crossed her legs, her slender high heels bobbing up and down with her swaying feet.

“She’s a great beauty,” Ma Jun said. “You know, there’s always trouble around beautiful women. Beautiful women don’t want to provoke others, but others will provoke them when they see her beauty.”

"This is probably one of the reasons why Wen Shu always gets into trouble!"

Just as Ma Jun finished speaking, before Long Xiaosheng could even respond, his phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up and frowned slightly.

"Is this Director Long? This is the East District Police Station. Your father, Long Gongzhuo, has been arrested for soliciting prostitution. Please come to the police station now!"

Long Xiaosheng closed his eyes and said, "I understand."

Seeing that his expression was off, Ma Jun quickly asked, "What happened? Who called?"

Long Xiaosheng's face was ashen, and he wished he could smash the phone in his hand.

Long Xiaosheng's father, Long Gongzhuo, had long since retired. The old man was quite old and had no other hobbies in his life, except for his inability to resist women.

Back then, Long Gongzhuo was forced to leave work early by Long Xiaosheng, because he was worried that Long Xiaosheng would make a mistake with women.

I never expected that the old man would cause such a scandal even after retiring!

"Xiaosheng?" Ma Jun looked at him anxiously. "What happened? Say something!"

Long Xiaosheng naturally didn't want Ma Jun to know about such a scandal.

He said, "It's nothing, just a small problem at work."

"You'd react like this to a small problem?" Ma Jun simply didn't believe it.

Long Xiaosheng said, "I had a feeling since yesterday that someone was targeting the two of us, and now it seems that it was true."

Ma Jun stood up abruptly, furious. "Who dares to scheme against us like this!"

Long Xiaosheng said, "The matter did not directly involve us, nor did it affect either of us. I think the other party was giving us a warning."

He glanced at Ma Jun and said, "Go back and tell A Biao to keep a low profile and stay home as much as possible to avoid getting into trouble."

Long Xiaosheng spoke with a very serious expression, which made Ma Jun immediately realize that the matter must be very serious.

Ma Jun nodded in agreement, "I understand. And what about your situation..."

Long Xiaosheng replied, "I'll handle it. Don't interfere. Don't worry about or ask anything about the event. If it's canceled, then it's canceled."

"The horse farm won't make money this time. In the whole of Beicheng, only the Ma family's horse farm meets the requirements for the competition. There will be many more competitions in the future, and it's impossible to go to other places to hold the competitions every time.

Ma Jun responded and, not wanting to disturb Long Xiaosheng's business, hurriedly left.

In the Li family office, Li Duo was on the phone.

Lin Han said on the phone that in the past year, the largest horse racing venue in Beicheng has been moved from the Ma family to a large horse farm in Yuncheng.

From a business perspective, the Ma family suffered heavy economic losses; it was like losing a duck that was almost in their hands.

Li Duo chuckled lightly, "The Ma family does need to learn a lesson. After this, Ma Jun and his sister should keep a lower profile."

“Long Xiaosheng did protect the Ma family, but he couldn’t protect them forever. If the Ma family doesn’t learn to behave themselves, they will suffer even more in the future.”

Lin Han asked, "Is that Long Xiaosheng the kind of person who would risk everything for a woman?"

Li Duo said, "Long Xiaosheng is a person who cherishes his reputation very much."

"Even if he were out of trouble, he would still prioritize the bigger picture and never allow his career to be tarnished or become a target for blackmail."

"So no matter what happens to Long Xiaosheng this time, the Ma family is bound to suffer the loss."

Lin Hanbu breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. I don't know much about the family situation in Beicheng, so I'm really grateful to you this time. However, this doesn't mean that your matter with Jing Yu is over!"

"You wasted four years of Jingyu's life."

Look at the people in the business world.

Yesterday's enemy becomes today's friend; after cooperating and exploiting each other, friends become enemies again.

It perfectly embodies the saying that there are no permanent enemies or permanent friends.

Li Duo said, "Frankly speaking, I don't need the Lin family's understanding."

"I believe I have a clear conscience regarding my relationship with Jingyu. You're saying I wasted four years? Mr. Lin, I think you've misunderstood. Lin Jingyu has been abroad for those four years!"

Lin Han sneered, "You think a girl who has spent four years abroad has an easy life?"

Li Duo said, "She has a company, an agent, and an assistant. I've secured the resources she wanted, provided the channels she needed, and taken responsibility for her personal safety."

"Mr. Lin, to be frank, Jingyu's four years abroad were much easier than those of other people in China. It's not that leaving home is necessarily hard work."

"She doesn't have to worry about three meals a day, the temperature in all four seasons, or travel funds and shopping. She has plenty of money supporting her. I don't know where the hardship lies in such a life."

"The Lin family is also involved in charity, and your mother, Madam Lin, is even more dedicated to charitable work. I think the Lin family should know better than anyone else what kind of life the truly suffering people in this world live!"

Lin Han held the phone, listening to Li Duo's voice on the other end without saying a word for a long time.

Li Duo said, "I admit that it was my mistake to break off the engagement with her on the day of our engagement, but I do not regret this decision."

"After all, the girl I admired who would blush just by holding her hand and insisted that I wait until after marriage to be intimate with her had already been in an intimate relationship with someone else four years ago."

"I thought he was a simple and cute little fool, but I never imagined I was the real fool!"
