The thug was shocked; he hadn't expected his lie to be exposed so quickly. He hurriedly explained, "Boss, I'm not lying to you. Scarface is just a minor thug in the Guangfu area. He doesn't have any status or background, so it's normal that we can't find out."
Lin Youcai glanced at his subordinate, who nodded in agreement. Indeed, Guangzhou was a large city, and petty thugs like this appeared every day; it was impossible to investigate them all. However, Lin Youcai had lost his patience. He coldly demanded of the thug, "Stop lounging around here, or go find your mother right now!"
The thug's heart raced with fear, and he quickly said, "No, boss, I'll tell you. Scarface is running an internet cafe now, the exact location is at the XXX intersection, and the internet cafe is called 'Top-Notch Internet Cafe'."
Lin Youcai's eyes lit up. Opening an internet cafe these days wasn't a small investment. How could someone with so much money running an internet cafe be just an ordinary hoodlum? Lin Youcai himself was a little surprised; there was such a huge loophole. This was practically a major breakthrough!
Lin Youcai sneered and said to his men, "You guys go to that internet cafe right now and find a chance to bring that guy back. I have some questions for him."
Several subordinates nodded hurriedly and left the factory building.
Lin Youcai stared at the thug, a cold smile creeping onto his lips: "Kid, you'd better pray that Scarface is still at that internet cafe. Otherwise, I really will go 'visit' your mother."
The thug's face turned ashen, his heart pounding with anxiety. He now regretted bragging so much in the tavern; if he hadn't blurted it out, his mother wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess.
The thug's mind raced, trying to find a way to escape. If Scarface were caught, his own and his family's safety would be at risk. In the end, he had no choice but to agree: "Boss, Scarface usually hangs out in internet cafes. You'll definitely be able to catch him if you go. You didn't really hurt me last time, so please let me and my mom go, okay?"
Lin Youcai snorted coldly: "That depends on how your Scarface boss behaves. You'd better stay put for now!"
After saying that, Lin Youcai signaled his men to take the thug away. The thug was pale as he was dragged out, filled with regret and anxiety.
Lin Youcai remained seated, pondering who this scarred man might be. The fact that an internet cafe owner had sent a group of thugs to beat up his son, Lin Xiangfu, seemed rather strange.
Perhaps there's more to this than meets the eye, something he just hasn't figured out yet. Lin Youcai clenched his fists tightly; this time, he was determined to find the real culprit and settle the old scores with the Lin family!
Just then, his subordinate rushed in, panting, and said to Lin Youcai, "Boss! We went to that 'Top-Tier Internet Cafe,' but the person we're looking for isn't there. The cafe owner said that Scarface rarely comes here; he's basically in charge. We also checked the security footage, and we definitely didn't see Scarface!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Youcai slammed his fist on the table, leaving a deep dent! Lin Youcai's face was grim, burning with rage.
This kid was deliberately misleading me with false information!
I want to see how he manages to break free from my grasp!
Lin Youcai coldly ordered, "Bring that kid back to me right now! If he dares to mess with me again, I'll go and bring his mother over right now!"
The men were taken aback, then quickly nodded and went to grab the thug back. They knew that Boss Lin was truly enraged this time and intended to hurt someone.
Without news of Scarface, the small-time thugs became the only remaining point of contact.
The thug was still catching his breath in a corner of the factory when he was grabbed and dragged back by several of his men.
When the thug saw Lin Youcai's gloomy face, he completely panicked.
He was truly at his wit's end, watching as he and his mother were about to be drawn into this battle, their fates uncertain!
As his thugs dragged him toward Lin Youcai, his mind was a complete mess, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Boss, what I said before was true. If you can't find me at the internet cafe, then there's nothing I can do..."
Lin Youcai sneered and said to his men, "Go and bring his mother here. Let's see how long he can keep up this act in front of me!"
Upon hearing this, the thug almost lost his balance. He hurriedly shouted, "No! Boss, I'm serious! There won't be any more fake news, I promise! Please give me one last chance, don't let my mom get involved again!"
Lin Youcai looked coldly at the thug, his eyes devoid of any pity: "I'll give you thirty minutes. If you don't explain everything clearly by now, you can prepare to welcome your mother!"
After saying that, Lin Youcai waved his hand, signaling his men to release the thugs, and then left with a cold snort.
The thug fell heavily to the ground, his face ashen, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
This has truly become a desperate situation. If they can't produce any useful information within half an hour, Lin Youcai will definitely take drastic measures against him and his mother, and then they will be left watching helplessly as they teeter on the brink of life and death.
Countless images flashed through the thug's mind; the line between life and death was about to be crossed.
What should he do to escape this terrible disaster?!
Lin Youcai summoned the subordinate who had investigated the internet cafe and asked, "Which internet cafe did you go to and not find Scarface? Have you investigated who the real owner is?"
The subordinate quickly replied, "Boss, we interrogated the person in charge of that internet cafe, and he said that Scarface was just a temporary worker. The real owner of the internet cafe is someone else. We checked, and he seems to be a young man. We are still investigating his background."
"However, boss, we've spoken with the smugglers in that area. They used to collect protection money from internet cafes, but they were eventually turned away. They said the internet cafe owner seems to know the head of the Liqun District Police Station, so no one dares to cause trouble for the internet cafe anymore."
Upon hearing this, Lin Youcai's doubts deepened.
The head of the Liqu Police Station? How come I've never heard of such a high-level relationship?
The boss behind the scenes must be no ordinary person. How could he be so low-key that he didn't even let anyone know?
Lin Youcai pondered for a moment. Although he hadn't found out all the information about the internet cafe owner, the connection with the director of the Liqu Police Station was already a crucial breakthrough.
Lin Youcai frowned and immediately instructed his subordinate: "Go find the local smuggler and ask him what he thinks of the head of the Liqu Police Station. If he really has connections, he will definitely be interested in the internet cafe owner as well. We should be able to find out this little bit of information."
Lin Youcai continued, telling his men, "Investigate that internet cafe owner thoroughly. Find him no matter what! Maybe he's connected to those people who've been targeting us lately!"
His subordinates readily agreed and intensified their investigation into the internet cafe's owner.
