"It's me, haha... Scared yet, huh?"

Mo Jingcheng's sinister voice came through the phone.

Lin Dong's handsome face instantly turned icy: "Mo Jingcheng, you're asking for death!"

"You're wrong, you're wrong, Lin Dong! It's not me who's courting death, it's you!"

Mo Jingcheng's signature sinister laugh was particularly grating.

"Hehe...Aren't you surprised? How did I get your phone number?"

"And another thing, how did that bomb just happen to be on your flight?"

"I said the airline is useless too, they couldn't even detect a single bomb, haha..."

Lin Dong took a deep breath, suppressing the rising anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "It's not surprising, because you are the omnipotent second young master of the Mo family."

"That's right. Because my surname is Mo, there are very few things that my Mo family can't do in China."

"Your Mo family has quite the arrogance!"

"Of course, now that we're in the capital, I'm the one who calls the shots, hehe..."

"Young Master Mo, don't speak too confidently, or you might choke on your own words."

"Hahaha... Lin Dong, just you wait! Welcome to Beijing! Have a wonderful stay at the East China Grand Hotel! Hahaha..."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Dong, who had already entered the hotel lobby, slowly regained his composure.

However, the call just now couldn't escape the notice of the clever Ling Xiaoxiao: "Was it Mo Jingcheng who called?"

"yes."

"Ignore him, this guy is a madman, notorious for his eccentricity in Beijing's social circles, known as: Mo Erdian."

"Miss Ling, I'd like to ask you a question."

"you say."

"If a madman tries to bite you, do you stay far away or kick him away?"

Ling Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment: "Of course, kick it away."

At this moment, Ling Feifan, along with Fengzi and Lao Niu, went to the front desk to register their check-in information.

Lin Dong put down his luggage and found a comfortable seat in the lobby lounge area.

"Lin Dong, what would you do if it were you?" Ling Xiaoxiao sat down next to Lin Dong and asked curiously.

“It’s simple, just break his neck,” Lin Dong said calmly.

Ling Xiaoxiao was taken aback, as if she was shocked by Lin Dong's blunt and crude idea: "Murder is illegal, especially killing people with powerful backgrounds."

“Killing madmen doesn’t count,” Lin Dong said calmly.

"Lin Dong, don't be impulsive. The little madman is easy to deal with, but you can't afford to mess with the big madman."

While trying to comfort her, Ling Xiaoxiao frowned with worry.

"I will host a banquet for you tonight to welcome you back. Have a good rest, and I will introduce you to my father tomorrow."

Lin Dong nodded: "Okay."

..............................................

Nothing was said that night.

The next day, Lin Dong urged Lao Niu and Feng Zi to get up early.

The three of them went to a breakfast shop near the hotel and ordered three servings of fried liver, three bowls of braised pork offal, and bean flour cake, which they ate to their hearts' content with some bean juice.

Three grown men with military backgrounds, not bothered with such formalities, devoured the food in no time...

After breakfast, seeing that there were still three hours before the visit to the Ling family, Lin Dong called over Ma Baorong, who had already arrived in Beijing.

Ma Xiaopang, who has become the general manager of Wanqi Electric Appliances, has a completely different image and temperament than before.

Today, Ma Baorong possesses a formidable aura.

In Wanqi, he was one of the people who admired Lin Dong the most.

Therefore, he likes to imitate Lin Dong's clothes and behavior whenever he has nothing to do.

Unfortunately, this guy is a bit chubby, and he's not as handsome as Boss Lin.

The obstruction of Wanqi Electric's expansion in Beijing was due to deliberate suppression by the Mo family, not to Ma Baorong's incompetence.

Therefore, Lin Dong didn't blame him too much, but simply told Ma Baorong to take good care of his subordinates in Beijing and to be careful when going out.

......

At 10 a.m., Ling Xiaoxiao drove to the hotel.

The group rode in a Land Rover through the Second Ring Road and finally drove into a very large garden-style building.

This is the residence of the Ling family, one of the four most prominent families in the capital.

Only after entering the Ling family home did Lin Dong truly understand.

Even the wealthiest and most extravagant families in the general public are not on the same level as the powerful and influential families in Beijing.

The aristocratic air that emanates from the Ling family as soon as you enter is not something that can be bought with a lot of money.

Therefore, heritage and tradition are what truly distinguish top-tier families from ordinary wealthy households.

Upon reaching the entrance of the main hall, Lin Dong finally met Ling Hongfei, the current head of the Ling family.

Ling Hongfei was about 50 years old, with a handsome appearance, and was wearing a light blue Tang suit.

Beside him stood a tall, elderly man, nearly 60 years old, yet still with a full head of black hair.

Judging from his appearance, he does bear a resemblance to Ling Feifan. This person should be Ling Beiyue, Ling Feifan's father and Ling Hongfei's elder brother.

Behind the two stood an elderly man with gray hair, none other than Nie Yongchun, the Ling family's retainer of the hand knife.

Before the master could introduce himself, Lin Dong had already activated the Black Gold Eye:

Target scanning in progress...

[Ding, Ling Hongfei, male, 51 years old, head of the Ling family, chairman of the Ling Group.]

The case involves 587 incidents related to smuggling, oil trafficking, buying and selling official positions, and hiring hitmen, with a total value of illicit funds amounting to 27.853 billion.
