From now on, they will only move around within the neighborhood, leaving the grocery shopping and meat purchases to their bodyguards.

With his parents' support, Lin Congzhi felt much more relieved.

After comforting his parents at home for several hours, he and Xiao Kai left to go back to work.

Time is money. Since we've decided to take revenge and defeat that old man Ji Zhenye, we must act quickly.

...

Meanwhile, Ji Zhenye's men returned to the Ji Group.

Upon learning of the operation's failure from his subordinates, Ji Zhenye flew into a rage, throwing his cigar at the useless men.

Luckily, he was wearing a suit, otherwise his men would have been burned.

However, being hit by a cigar the size of a thumb will still cause some pain to the body.

The boss was furious, and they didn't dare to breathe.

Everyone bowed their heads, looking dejected and their bodies trembling involuntarily.

Since things have come to this point, there's no use in hitting or scolding anymore. We should think about how to handle the aftermath.

After a few seconds of thought, Ji Zhenye ordered, "You must take full responsibility for this, or I will not let you off the hook!"

"roll!"

He didn't want to see those good-for-nothings again.

Seeing it once makes me angry; seeing it for even a second makes my blood boil.

They failed to kidnap anyone, and the hostages were not injured. They were utterly useless, the worst group of henchmen he had encountered in all these years.

The group of men who had failed in their mission trembled at the sound of that deep roar, as if they were standing on the edge of an abyss.

They didn't dare linger for a second, immediately retreated, and slunk away.

Ji Shuxin arrived just then.

Seeing her father's men leave dejectedly, she sensed that something was wrong.

As soon as she entered her father's office, she asked, "Dad, what's wrong?"

Ji Zhenye, who had been facing away from the door, looked out at the towering buildings of the world and couldn't help but sigh: "The operation has failed."

"Huh? What do we do now?"

Ji Shuxin felt a pang of heartache, because the desolate, helpless, and aged figure before her seemed powerless, no longer the invincible and confident person she once admired.

Ji Zhenye clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "Let those useless bastards take the blame."

Chi Shu-hsin worried: "Are they loyal?"

“If they are disloyal, their families can forget about living in peace.”

Having worked in the industry for decades, Ji Zhenye knew how to control his disobedient subordinates.

As long as one of his subordinates has a family, they cannot escape his grasp.

Ji Shuxin believes in her father's abilities.

While he couldn't deal with Lin Congzhi, who had powerful backers, his father was more than capable of handling the cannon fodder.

The operation was meticulously planned, so why did it fail? There's no reason why.

And even if we fail, we won't fail so quickly or so thoroughly.

She was very curious and couldn't understand it at all: "Dad, why did we fail?"

"How would I know how those incompetent people get things done?"

The more Ji Zhenye thought about it, the angrier he became.

He clearly instructed his men to kill the hostage if he couldn't escape, but the bunch of incompetents who carried out the plan were more trouble than they were worth.

Ji Shuxin frowned: "Could there be a spy on our side? Our plan has actually been leaked a long time ago."

This guess gave Ji Zhenye a wake-up call.

People's hearts are easily bought with money, and in recent years, he has not treated his subordinates well, so some of them are both afraid of and hate him.

These are the people most likely to betray him, so he has to take precautions, investigate them, and eliminate them.
