Chapter 162: Dirty Things

"Yan Feng, tell me more about the Ling family!" Wen Shuzhou went straight to the point as soon as he entered the private room.

"President, do you think there is something wrong with the Ling family?" Yan Feng said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Know yourself and your enemy, so you won't be in a panic when the time comes!" Wen Shuzhou said with deep eyes.

The last time we investigated the matter of the gangsters provoking, we found out that it was a distant relative who was the gatekeeper of the Ling family. It was said that the distant relative had a grudge with a waiter of Yunjian Visitors, and heard that the waiter found a good job, so he deliberately came to pick a fight! Yan Feng also asked the waiter privately, and the two families did have a conflict because of the dispute over the foundation for building a house, and even fought. Someone in the family even lived there because of this. Logically speaking, this matter is not a small matter. Since the distant relative hired a gangster to make trouble, he should start with the waiter who is related to him, instead of directly slandering their dishes as having problems. It is a very strange entry point.

Yan Feng didn't believe it, and Wen Shuzhou didn't believe it even more. On the surface, this matter had nothing to do with the Ling family, but Wen Shuzhou always felt that this matter was not simple. In addition, with today's bidding, it was a miracle for a fifth-rate family like the Ling family to win a government project. It's not that Wen Shuzhou looked down on such a small family, but the fact that the Ling family's bid documents that were highly consistent with the project and the extremely similar quotations made the Ling family stand out from a group of bidders that were stronger than them was too suspicious. Moreover, could the Ling family have so much capital flow? If they did, they were hiding their strength. If not? Then who would be supporting them behind the scenes?

Yan Feng and Wen Shuzhou had talked about the Ling family before, but now that he thought about it carefully, he still underestimated the enemy.

"President, Assistant Yan, the wine and snacks are here!" There was a sudden knock on the door. It was the manager.

"Come in!" Yan Feng glanced at the door and said.

"Okay." The manager grinned, put down the tray and poured wine for both of them.

"...If there is nothing else, don't bother me again!" Yan Feng reminded the manager before leaving.

"yes……"

"Sit down and talk!" Wen Shuzhou said as he picked up the glass and took a sip of wine.

"Okay. In the 1960s, the Ling family lived in Shanglilang Village, Buji Commune, Bao'an County. At that time, Shenzhou had not yet been developed and was a poor land. Ling Guoqiang's grandfather sold his family property because of opium smoking. By the time of his father's generation, the family was penniless and burdened with heavy debts. Ling Guoqiang knew the hardships of life since he was a child. He got up early and worked late to help his parents work in the fields to reduce the burden on the family. He suffered a lot since he was a child.

In 1985, after graduating from high school, Ling Guoqiang joined the Buji Police Station as an auxiliary police officer. Although his basic salary was meager, he saved money to support his younger brother's education and help his parents repay their debts. In 1996, after serving as village chief for seven years, Ling Guoqiang decided to resign and start a business. The following year, he managed the Lily Villa project and achieved great success, and since then he has made a name for himself in the real estate industry.

Ling Guoqiang has a strong strategic vision. He bought a lot of land in the early stage of real estate development, and these lands have now become his accumulated wealth. He also promoted the establishment of many commercial complexes such as Tianhong and Xinyijia, and founded the first three-star hotel in Longgang District, Lily Hotel, in 2006. Real estate has become the cornerstone of Ling Guoqiang's "getting rich". He has joined forces with others to participate in many real estate projects, such as Lily Villa and Lily Shengshi.

In addition, the Ling family has always attached great importance to education, and Ling Guoqiang was also deeply influenced. Although he was unable to complete higher education due to health reasons, he knew the importance of education. He founded the famous private school in Shenzhou, Lily Foreign Language School, and ranked first in the Shenzhou City Middle School Entrance Examination for seven consecutive years. Ling Guoqiang adhered to the principles of education, prohibited schools from opening canteens, and restricted students from using mobile phones, providing students with a safe study environment.

Although Ling Guoqiang did not receive much education, he learned a lot from the society and formed a system of thought with distinctive personal characteristics. In 2020, his thoughts were compiled into a book "Xin Ming", which was published at his own expense. In addition, Ling Guoqiang also actively engaged in charity. By October 2023, he had donated nearly 400 million yuan nationwide. "Yan Feng recounted the situation of the Ling family.

"It sounds like there's nothing wrong with it." Wen Shuzhou's eyes were half-closed behind his gold-rimmed glasses, revealing emotions that no one could fathom.

In this information, Wen Shuzhou only heard the story of how the Ling family rose from poverty and finally achieved brilliant success through proper management and unremitting efforts. Moreover, Ling Guoqiang, as the representative of the Ling family, not only achieved great success in business, but also actively devoted himself to education and charity, making important contributions to society.

"The less problems there are, the more problems there become!" Yan Feng suddenly said.

"I know that the information is too perfect. This is just the excuse made by the Ling family to others. Yan Feng, go and dig deeper." Wen Shuzhou drank the wine in the glass and looked at Yan Feng.

"You drink too!"

"We have been digging deep before, but we didn't find anything. However, I didn't stop. I believe we will gain something in two days!" Yan Feng opened his mouth and drank the wine, and poured another glass for his president.

"Well done." Wen Shuzhou gave Yan Feng an appreciative look.

"Of course, I'm close to the president and I've learned a lot from him over the years." Yan Feng patted his president on the back and flattered him.

...Ling family.

The night was as dark as ink, and the moonlight was thin, with only a few rays occasionally penetrating the clouds and sprinkling on the bluestone slabs, adding a bit of strange tranquility to this deep courtyard. A night breeze blew, bringing with it the coolness of early autumn and also rolling up some unknown secrets.

The back garden of the Ling family is usually a place for rest and viewing, but now it has become a secret place for handling the dirty affairs of the family. The high walls around it seem to isolate all the noise from the outside world, leaving only this small world here, which seems particularly depressing. The surface of the pond in the garden is calm, but it seems to be surging undercurrents, just like the atmosphere of the Ling family at this moment.

A dim lamp was hung under the old locust tree next to the rockery. The weak light barely illuminated the surroundings. Two members of the Ling family, dressed in dark clothes, sat around a stone table. Their faces looked serious and gloomy in the interweaving of light and shadow. One of them was Ling Guoqiang, who smiled amiably when facing the camera in the daytime. On the table in front of them were yellowed volumes of family records and some seemingly ordinary but actually mysterious objects, silently telling the unspeakable secrets of the Ling family.

"This matter must be handled cleanly and neatly, without leaving any clues." Ling Guoqiang said in a low voice. His voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, revealing an unquestionable determination.

"But, isn't it too risky to do this? After all..." Another man who looked 80% like Ling Guoqiang but was younger than him had a worried look on his face and hesitated to speak, obviously worried about the decision he was about to make.

Ling Guoqiang's eyes dimmed and he interrupted the other person.

"Tongqing, there is no but. The reputation and honor of the Ling family cannot be tarnished. It is not easy for our Ling family to have the current status. If these dirty things are not resolved as soon as possible, once exposed, they will only become a greater hidden danger in the future."

"Brother...are we really going to keep making the same mistakes?"

"Guoqing, do this again, no one will notice."

…

The conversation between the two brothers filled the air with a tense and decisive atmosphere.

Finally, after intense discussions, a plan was slowly finalized, and every detail was repeatedly scrutinized to ensure that it was foolproof. When Ling Guoqing agreed, the lantern seemed to tremble slightly.

As the night deepens, the Ling family's back garden returns to peace again, leaving only the lonely lamp swaying gently in the wind, as if foreshadowing the future end of the Ling family. And the Ling family, this family, will reveal their true colors after this dirty trick.

...Three days later, Wen Shuzhou's office.

Yan Feng was standing opposite Wen Shuzhou at this moment, holding a file bag in his hand, which contained information about the Ling family's involvement in black business.

"Did you find it?" Wen Shuzhou's lips curled up silently.

"President, I discovered this accidentally during the investigation." Yan Feng's voice was low and powerful as he handed over the file bag.

"Yes." Wen Shuzhou took the file bag, opened it, and read it word by word. As he read deeper into the content, Wen Shuzhou's brows became more and more wrinkled, and his face became more and more ugly.

"I never thought that the Ling family's business would start like this!"

"Yes, it's unbelievable!" When Yan Feng found out, he was as shocked as his president.

"Yan Feng, can you confirm the authenticity of this file? Have you made any alarm?" Wen Shuzhou asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, President, I didn't make any alarm!" Yan Feng said firmly.

"I have verified it myself, and every detail is correct. And it's not just the Ling family, there are several other families involved as well."

"Oh, which others? Tell me about them." Wen Shuzhou became interested and couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Once this information is exposed, the Ling family will face an unprecedented crisis, and stepping on a sewing machine will be a piece of cake.

"The Li family, the Zhang family, the Liu family..." Yan Feng named five or six family names in one breath.

"Yan Feng, keep digging into the Ling family's affairs. Maybe the Ling family has other things going on." Wen Shuzhou's eyes revealed an imperceptible coldness.

If anyone dares to extend his hand to the Wen family, he will chop off the hand of the Ling family.

"Okay." Yan Feng promised.

"Well, let those people dig hard and thoroughly find out the specific role and extent of the Ling family in this black business. Don't expose it." Wen Shuzhou stirred the coffee at hand and spoke slowly.

"Don't worry, President. They are very smart!" Yan Feng said solemnly.

"Well, Yan Feng has worked hard, go and have a rest!" Wen Shuzhou nodded and waved his hand.

"Go ahead."

"yes."
