“Mr. Lin, we met at Wangxianlou last time. I’m the owner of Feilong Real Estate. I never expected to run into you here again. What a coincidence…”
“Mr. Lin, I am the owner of Wanjia Shopping Mall. Mr. Wang from Wangxianlou mentioned you to me. I didn’t expect to meet you here…”
"Mr. Lin, I am the deputy director of Bureau X. I wonder if you have any plans to invest in Xianyuan County? I can make an offer to provide you with the most preferential policies..."
At this moment, some important figures from Xianyuan County could no longer hold back and quickly caught up with Lin Yun, speaking very respectfully.
They can reap endless benefits simply by getting even a little bit involved in a mega-project worth tens of billions.
"No way? The owner of Feilong Real Estate? Rumor has it he's worth hundreds of millions, and he's actually here..."
"And the owner of Wanjia Shopping Mall, I heard he owns large shopping malls in many places and makes tens of millions in profit every year. I never expected that this important figure is also in Xianyuan County, and even at this wedding..."
"Is that the deputy director of our county's X Bureau?"
"No wonder they were sitting in such special seats; they must be such important figures..."
"I just heard that many important people from our Xianyuan County are coming to this wedding. I didn't expect so many important people to come..."
Some people were surprised.
"They're all here for this wedding? Director Li's family must be incredibly influential!"
Some people asked in surprise.
"You don't know, they came to this wedding because of that luxury car convoy outside. You don't know, that luxury car convoy outside..."
Some people who knew the inside story shook their heads.
"Each car is worth at least a million? Some cars are even worth several million? There are at least twenty or more cars?"
Many people were surprised.
"No wonder they came to this wedding..."
"No wonder they can become big shots; their sense of smell is unmatched by ordinary people..."
"So, those luxury cars outside belong to this Lin Yun?"
Some people realized this.
"Are these people really the owners of Feilong Real Estate? The owners of Wanjia Shopping Mall? The director of Bureau X...? Lin Yun said he had a project worth tens of billions, and these people actually believed him? That's ridiculous... Tens of billions... What does that even mean... How much money does the richest man in China have...? I admit Lin Yun is very capable, but what he said was clearly to avenge his friend, and these people actually believed him..."
Of course, there were also many ordinary people who didn't know about the luxury car convoy outside. They didn't know the significance of having bodyguards who could carry guns, let alone the strength Lin Yun displayed at Wangxian Tower. They didn't believe that Lin Yun had so much money that it could move these big shots, and they didn't believe that Lin Yun had investment projects worth hundreds of billions. They all shook their heads and said that.
"Are you all here for this wedding? The day after tomorrow, I'll be discussing various investment matters at Wangxianlou. If you're interested, you can come to Wangxianlou that day, and we'll discuss the details further..." At the hotel entrance, Lin Yun looked at the people who had caught up with him and said calmly.
After saying that, Lin Yun led his group away.
At this moment, some of the faster bodyguards arrived in a line of luxury cars.
Twenty cars—in terms of scale alone, this surpasses the previous wedding procession.
So many cars, all luxury cars, they have a very powerful presence.
"Those are Diling X9s! So many of them! And so many Sword Tiger A9s! Each of these cars is worth millions!"
"What are the Diling X9 and the Sword Tiger A9 compared to that? Look at that car, it should be the legendary Emperor of the Diling series, worth more than ten million..."
"I noticed these cars a while ago, but I never imagined they were theirs..."
The hotel lobby was separated from the outside by a glass wall, allowing everyone to see the convoy outside. Many people were excited.
"Those cars really are theirs..."
Director Li, standing in the lobby, looked at the convoy outside and was momentarily lost in thought, muttering to himself.
In an instant, all hope was shattered.
“He…he’s really Lin Duo’er’s brother? He…he’s actually…so powerful…” At a table, a boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old looked at Lin Yun as he walked away, trembling all over as he murmured.
This boy was the same Xiao Tie who had told Zhang Long not to be afraid of Lin Yun at Lin Duo'er's school the day before yesterday, saying that his father was the director. Later, Zhang Long told them about Lin Yun's activities at Yinghao Martial Arts School, which made him very afraid of Lin Yun.
But at this moment, he realized that what Zhang Long had told them was only a small part of Lin Yun's identity; Lin Yun's true identity was even more frightening.
Dozens of bodyguards in black... many of them were armed...
Even the most legendary gangs in the underworld probably aren't this powerful.
There were so many luxury cars... and the multi-billion dollar projects Lin Yun mentioned... and many important figures fawning over Lin Yun...
No wonder the county bureau chief was so wary of Lin Yun.
With Lin Yun's status, let alone his father being the director, his father is probably the bureau chief. Anyone could crush him with a single finger.
He's already seventeen or eighteen years old; he's not a clueless kid anymore.
At that moment, he was even more grateful to Zhang Long.
Fortunately, Zhang Long slapped him, preventing him from completely offending Lin Yun; otherwise, he would have been doomed.
However, although he did not completely offend Lin Yun at the time, he did say some bad things. After seeing Lin Yun's strength, he felt uneasy.
At that moment, he regretted attending the wedding.
He only heard from his father that many important people were attending the wedding, and he just wanted to see what it was like...
Why did this have to happen?
At that moment, he almost cried.
"Xiao Tie, what's wrong?" Noticing his son's unusual behavior, his father asked curiously.
"Dad, I think I offended Lin Yun the day before yesterday..." Xiao Tie didn't dare to hide such a big thing, and immediately told his father about what happened at school the day before yesterday with a sob in his voice.
"What did you say? Tell him that your dad is the director...you...you...you..." Xiao Tie's father was just watching his colleague make a fool of himself. They were both directors and were competitors. He was happy to see Director Li about to be in trouble, but after hearing his son's story, he almost fell to the ground, shocked and furious.
At that moment, he really wanted to grab his son and beat him up.
Damn it, how can you be so ridiculous?
That Lin Yun is so terrifying, how could you say your father is the director in front of him?
"Explain everything to me immediately, in detail..." Xiao Tie's father said hastily without hesitation.
He needs to know the details to see if there's any way to remedy the situation.
He knew that the convoy outside had only arrived at Xianyuan Hotel last night.
In other words, before this, Lin Yun probably didn't have many people around him, but now he does... Perhaps, it's time for Lin Yun to do what he wants to do, such as dealing with the matter of someone offending him these past few days.
Under such circumstances, how could he dare to hesitate?
Leaving aside the matter of Xiao Tie and his father, on the other hand...
Lin Yun's last words stirred up many important figures.
Lin Yun's suggestion that they go to Wangxian Tower the day after tomorrow indicates that they all have a chance.
But then they began to carefully consider the words Lin Yun had left behind.
Because Lin Yun was in front, he seemed to have said something unrelated.
These people are destined for greatness, and their sensitivity to key words is naturally far beyond that of ordinary people.
Are you all here for this wedding?
The statement wasn't complicated, and they quickly realized it.
What Lin Yun meant by that was... that they were all involved with the couple at the wedding?
They came to the wedding to befriend the owner of the motorcade.
Unexpectedly, the owner of the motorcade was Lin Yun, and had such a connection to the wedding.
Lin Yun is naturally hostile towards anyone who has a relationship with the bride and groom at this wedding, since his friend's woman has been stolen from him.
Lin Yun should understand why some of them came to this wedding, so this sentence was meant to be a wake-up call for them...
Now, we'll see how they perform.
At that moment, the expressions on the faces of these important figures changed rapidly.
"Are you that person, the groom's father? Well, I've come to the wrong place this time. I'm really sorry. Please return the money I gave as a gift earlier..." Soon, the owner of Feilong Real Estate made the first decision. He walked up to Director Li and said calmly.
Logically speaking, a boss as big as him, even if he really did something like walking into the wrong place, would never do something as tasteless as asking for the money back. However, in order to distance himself from Director Li and his family, he had no choice but to do this. He wasn't afraid of so many people seeing this and the negative impact it might have on him. The bigger the impact, the better. It would be best if it reached Lin Yun's ears!
Perhaps, because of this incident, Lin Yun will think more highly of him and give him some benefits!
The wine he usually drinks costs over ten million a bottle. Giving him some benefits could very well make him rise to the top!
Anyway, he didn't have any connection with Director Li and his family, so he didn't feel much pressure doing this!
The actions of the Feilong Real Estate boss caught the eye of many important figures; it was indeed a solution!
“Hey you? I’ve come to the wrong place too! Please give me back the money I just gave you as a gift! These days, business is getting harder and harder, and it’s not easy for us small business owners to make a living. I really can’t refuse this gift, I’m so sorry…”
The owner of Wanjia Shopping Mall also came out, looked at the groom's father, and said with a smile.
Many people were speechless after hearing what this person said.
Damn, you own more than a dozen large shopping malls and make tens of millions in profit a year, and you call this running a small business?
However, most of them knew what was going on, and seeing so many important figures speaking out, they dared not say anything.
Apart from a few people who were very angry, most people were just watching the spectacle.
Director Li and his family are really unlucky this time; they've lost a lot of face.
In a small county like Xianyuan County, being a police station chief, especially one located in the county seat, is a pretty high-ranking position.
Therefore, over the years, Director Li and his family have enjoyed great success, which has long aroused the envy of many people.
There's a saying that goes like this?
I watched him build a tall building, I watched him entertain guests, and I watched his building collapse!
Right now, many people probably feel this way!
Serves you right for being so cocky back then!
"I've also come to the wrong place. Please return the gift money I just received..."
At this moment, another important figure walked over and said.
Director Li looked grim. At that moment, he felt his blood churning, creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere. However, he had no choice but to have the people around him return the gifts they had given him.
He couldn't afford to offend so many important figures.
If he felt proud during the first half of the wedding, now he felt it was the most humiliating moment of his life.
At that moment, he deeply regretted the woman his son had married.
If he were given another chance, he would never let his son provoke the other party.
This isn't marrying a wife, it's marrying a scourge.
"By the way, inform the security guards of all the Wanjia shopping malls under our umbrella to keep a close eye out and prevent certain people from entering. Remember, this includes Wanjia shopping malls in other locations as well..."
Just then, the owner of Wanjia Shopping Mall, who had just left, turned to look at one of his subordinates and said calmly.
The voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears.
Although no names were specified, everyone present knew exactly who they were.
Upon hearing this, Director Li's face turned even uglier, and he felt his blood boiling even more violently.
"Well... for those people who want to buy houses from Feilong Real Estate, we shouldn't sell anymore..."
Upon hearing this, the owner of Feilong Real Estate thought it was a good idea, but he felt that asking for the return of the gift money would be too monotonous. Thinking this, he quickly turned to his subordinates and said.
Although Feilong Real Estate is different from Wanjia Shopping Mall, which is the largest shopping mall in Xianyuan County and almost everyone goes there to shop, it's just a matter of how many times a year they go. Director Li's family may never buy a house from Feilong Real Estate in their entire lives.
Director Li's house is quite large, so he doesn't need to buy another house.
However, this matter is all about expressing an attitude.
"When we get back, give the same instructions: don't sell our products to certain people anymore..."
Other big bosses followed suit and turned to instruct their subordinates.
Afterwards, the big bosses left one by one after completing these tasks.
Only a few official figures remained, and they didn't move much.
Businessmen are driven by profit, but these officials are unlikely to do such shameless things.
In particular, some official figures, who were with Secretary Zhu that day, knew that Lin Yun had offended Secretary Zhu. No matter how powerful Lin Yun was, he was not as powerful as Secretary Zhu. Before they came, they did not know that the owner of the motorcade was Lin Yun. Now that they knew, they naturally could not go up to curry favor with him.
Of course, there were also some people who didn't know about what happened between Lin Yun and Secretary Zhu that day.
After all, the officials present felt extremely embarrassed about what happened that day and were too ashamed to spread the news.
For example, the deputy director of Bureau X, and some other lower-level officials, are mostly people who are not qualified to follow Secretary Zhu around.
"Director Li, your banquet today is quite extravagant. I never imagined you'd have saved up so much money over the years..." The deputy director stepped forward, patted Director Li on the shoulder, and said meaningfully.
After saying that, he turned and left.
"Director Li, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now..." An official walked over and said with a smile.
"Old Li..."
Some more officials have left.
“Ahem, Director Li, I’m here today because I have something to take care of. Your son is involved in a case. I haven’t told you about it because of his wedding today, but after the wedding, he’ll probably have to come with us…” Just then, Xiao Tie’s father walked over, coughed, and said.
Because of his special status, Director Li's son occasionally gets into trouble. However, many of the police stations give him face, and most of the incidents are not too serious, so they all suppress them. Xiao Tie's father can easily use any incident to take the other party away.
However, he didn't go too far, letting her get married before leaving.
After all, we're all in the same system, and no one's affairs are completely clean.
He was afraid of going too far and provoking a counterattack, which would be bad.
If his son hadn't offended Lin Yun, he really wouldn't have wanted to directly offend him like this. After all, his status wasn't higher than Lin Yun's, and if the two of them got into a fight, they could both end up hurting each other.
However, since his son had offended Lin Yun, he was afraid that Lin Yun might cause trouble for his family someday if he didn't make a statement like this.
He did this to find a talisman for himself.
In case Lin Yun causes trouble for his family someday, he hopes that Lin Yun will let his family off the hook for the sake of this matter.
When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down.
Some officials left directly, while others left after finding fault with the officials.
In the blink of an eye, the once full hall was nearly half empty, and almost everyone of any standing had left.
They were afraid that they would be implicated.
Some people aren't afraid of Lin Yun, but rather of the high-ranking figures who have left.
Those high-ranking figures have all left. If they don't leave quickly, what if those high-ranking figures hold a grudge against them?
The current officials are more powerful than those in charge; many of their interests are connected to those high-ranking figures.
What was supposed to be a grand wedding suddenly turned into a very desolate affair.
"This wedding..." the emcee said, forcing a smile.
At this point, he didn't know whether he should continue hosting the wedding.
The lobby, on the other side.
If anyone present regretted it the most, it would undoubtedly be the woman on this side.
"That Zhao Gang actually knows such a powerful person..."
"That young man is going to hand over a project worth tens of billions to Zhao Gang! Tens of billions! My God..."
"So many luxury cars... all belong to that young man? Those cars are worth over fifty million?"
Some of the women's friends were shocked.
Many of them knew Zhao Gang, and when they learned that Zhang Hui had found such a boyfriend, they strongly opposed it.
At this moment, they were all filled with regret.
If Zhang Hui had married Zhao Gang, wouldn't they have all become rich too?
With projects worth tens of billions, they could become rich simply by receiving some benefits from Zhang Hui's family, given their connections with the Zhang family.
As for Zhang Hui's parents, they were filled with regret.
If they had known that Zhang Hui's ex-boyfriend had such a powerful friend, why would they have objected in the first place?
Zhang Hui's ex-boyfriend used to be very respectful to them, unlike her current boyfriend, who, while polite, wasn't as respectful. They couldn't really ask anything of each other. If Zhang Hui had married Zhao Gang, things would have been different.
For the rest of their lives, all they need to do is enjoy life.
Compared to wealth, power doesn't actually have much effect on ordinary people like them.
Most importantly...
They noticed that, because of Zhao Gang's friend, many high-ranking officials seemed to be targeting the Li family.
It's very likely that the Li family's glory won't last much longer.
In fact, the Li family may face serious problems in the future.
By doing so, they are practically pushing their daughter into a fire pit.
Moreover, it's like pushing someone from a golden nest into a fire pit.
How could they not regret it?
