However, what Lin Jinglong and Xia Donghe were both curious about was what exactly these forces behind the scenes were looking for.

The fact that dozens of members of the Lin family were killed for a single item shows just how important that item was to them.

“Mr. Lin, perhaps you could ask your grandmother; she might know something,” Xia Donghe suggested.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jinglong nodded slightly. Indeed, if that were the case, then his grandmother must know something.

At least they know more than I do!

"Hmm! I'll ask around when I get back. Your investigation is very good, keep it up!"

"Report any leads immediately!" Lin Jinglong said coldly.

"Understood, Mr. Lin!"

Xia Donghe is very meticulous in his work, which is one of the reasons why Lin Jinglong looks at him with new respect.

In the past two days, he has sent out dozens of groups of men to keep a close watch on the entire Ma family, and also to arrange manpower around Chen Muqing and the Lin family.

Xia Donghe receives news of any disturbances or dangerous situations immediately.

Although Lin Jinlong possesses extraordinary personal strength, he cannot protect others at all times.

Lin Jinglong remembered all the things Xia Donghe had done, and he would certainly not treat Xia Donghe unfairly in the future.

At this moment, Xia Wanying tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled at Lin Jinglong, saying, "Mr. Lin, the Lin Group is having a cooperation signing ceremony tomorrow, and we need your personal attendance!"

"Also, after this collaboration concludes, I'd like to invite you to dinner. I wonder if you have time?"

Xia Wanying's eyes were captivating, and every smile and frown revealed endless allure.

Moreover, her outfit today was very sophisticated: a sheer mini skirt, high heels, and long, wavy black hair, making one's heart flutter.

However, Lin Jinglong was not a lecherous person!

While such an outfit is very attractive, it's not enough to make him fall for it.

"Alright! Mr. Lin, I'll get back to work now. Daughter, you stay with Mr. Lin for a while!"

Xia Donghe made up an excuse, got into his Rolls-Royce, and drove off!

Before leaving, he winked at Xia Wanying.

Lin Jinglong smiled inwardly, thinking to himself that Xia Donghe was an old fox who was creating space for him and Xia Wanying to be alone.

How could such a small trick escape Lin Jinglong's eyes?

"Eating is no problem. How about this, I'll bring my wife along!"

"Otherwise, he'll get jealous!" Lin Jinglong smiled slightly.

Xia Wanying was overjoyed when she saw that he had agreed: "Really? Okay, Mr. Lin, I'll book the place right now!"

At that moment, Xia Donghe made a phone call to Xia Wanying.

"Daughter, no matter what, you must win over Mr. Lin!"

"Let me tell you, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"In the entire Great Xia Kingdom, there is no young man who can compare with Mr. Lin!"

"The future of our Xia family depends entirely on you!"

Xia Donghe was in such a hurry because in recent years, the younger generation of the Xia family has been of mixed quality, and there are very few talented people who can be employed.

Moreover, his own daughter was ostracized in the Xia family, yet he is still alive and well.

It can also protect his daughter and allow her to succeed as the next head of the Xia family.

Although they might face criticism, the restless members of the Xia family only dared to talk about it behind their backs and dared not have any other thoughts.

However, if we wait until after his death, there will inevitably be power struggles within the Xia family, leading to the disintegration of the Xia family and even its complete decline.

The only thing they can do now is to quickly find a son-in-law for their daughter.

Xia Donghe had seen countless people, including many young rich kids, but only Lin Jinglong caught his eye.

If Xia Wanying were to marry Lin Jinglong, it would be an incredible blessing, a stroke of good fortune for her!

Upon hearing his words, Xia Wanying's pretty face immediately turned red: "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"I just want to get to know Mr. Lin as a friend and have a simple meal together!"

"The Xia family is not yet at peace, and my mind is focused on my career. I don't have time for romance!"

Xia Wanying really just wanted to invite Lin Jinglong to dinner, ever since Xia Donghe recounted Lin Jinglong's strength yesterday.

She became intensely curious about this young man.

Of course, she thought Lin Jinglong was very handsome and had a great presence, and she did have a slight liking for him, but it hadn't reached the point of liking him.

She wanted to befriend Lin Jinglong so that she could have a powerful backer who could help her stabilize her position in the future.

"Oh dear! Daughter, you're so foolish!"

"You must listen to me. Your father has seen countless people. In the entire capital, which young man can compare to Mr. Lin!"

"They are all low-class people, only Mr. Lin is unique!"

Xia Wanying was also shocked by her father's words!

From childhood to adulthood, she had never seen Xia Donghe speak so highly of a young person.

"Okay, okay, I know!"

"Alright, you can go back now!"

Xia Wanying dismissed it and hung up the phone immediately.

"Miss Xia, what's wrong?" Lin Jinglong asked immediately when he noticed that Xia Wanying's expression was a little off.

"Huh? No, nothing?"

"Mr. Lin, I've prepared last month's financial report and need your signature!" Xia Wanying called to her secretary.

The secretary in uniform took a stack of documents out of her briefcase.

Just then, suddenly, seven or eight police cars with sirens blaring sped toward them from the road in the distance.
