She abandoned her husband first, then her children, and was ecstatic after the divorce.

The man then revealed that he also owned an underground casino.

He would cheat at games with a few familiar people on weekdays, earning a little money as pocket money.

However, things have been tense lately, and several acquaintances are afraid to help, so the man wants to ask them to set up a trap for him.

He handled everything from behind the scenes, so the workers didn't need to put in much effort; they just had to do what he said.

Not only will it help them settle their gambling debts, but it will also allow them to receive a generous reward.

Overnight, several workers each lost tens of thousands of yuan.

So, you can scrape together this money by borrowing from various sources, but it's not exactly something to be proud of.

Moreover, since they are all from rural families, tens of thousands of yuan is enough to cripple them.

Then the man offered them a generous reward, and faced with such a great temptation, they ultimately couldn't resist.

It's just a favor; it will not only solve the immediate problem but also earn me some extra money, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

So they all nodded in agreement.

The man truly lived up to their expectations. That very night, each of them received over 100,000 yuan in payment. Moreover, the man even took the initiative to personally go to the karaoke bar and help them pay off their gambling debts.

“We thought that was the end of it,” the boy said with a mournful face.

"But a few days later, Li Xian came to us and said he had heard some inside information that someone might come to the factory to cause trouble. We were terrified. Our whole family depends on the wages from the factory. If something happens to the factory, how will we eat?"

They originally thought that Li Xian came to them to ask them to stop this farce.

Unexpectedly, Li Xian instructed them to cooperate with the opposing side to tamper with the factory equipment beforehand, so that the equipment could be rendered unusable in the shortest possible time when they attacked.

Li Xian said it was just a little tampering behind people's backs, nothing would happen, and he had already checked the blind spots of the surveillance cameras, so no one would find out.

Once they've finished, all they need to do is wait for the troublemakers to arrive.

They'll put on a show of obstruction, and once the matter is over, they won't be held accountable.

“We originally disagreed,” the boy recalled, trembling slightly.

“Although we all come from rural areas and aren’t very educated, we still know how much a machine in a factory is worth. If they really find us, we couldn’t afford to pay for it even if we risked our lives! But that Li Xian…”

The boy couldn't hold back his tears as he spoke.

He was young and inexperienced, and when Lin Qingran pressed him for answers, he told her everything.

“Li Xian said that we had already received the payment from them, so we had to do it. Otherwise, he would call the police and send us all to jail!”

It was only then that the workers realized they had been caught up in the game since that inexplicable gambling incident.

The money given to them wasn't a reward for helping them cheat; it was clearly a bargaining chip to blackmail them into doing things for them.

"Li Xian said that at worst, we'd fight to the death. He reported us for cheating and setting up a scheme, and nobody can escape."

They only had two choices at the time: either fight Li Xian to the end and end up being sent to prison.

They could either go along with Li Xian's wishes and help him complete this last scheme, since no one would suspect them, the ordinary workers.

After everything was over, everyone was happy.

"I had no choice!" the boy said, tears streaming down his face.

"My younger sister is still in school, my grandmother is in poor health, and my parents passed away early. I was just out of my mind to do such a thing. I never expected so many things to happen afterward. Mr. Jiang, I'm so sorry!"

As the boy spoke, he was about to kneel down before Lin Qingran.

Xiao Zhou reacted quickly, grabbing Lin Qingran and saying sternly.

"If you were truly bewitched for a moment, you could have simply cut ties with Li Xian after this was over. Why did you continue to gamble with him? You've clearly tasted the sweetness of it and are now insatiably greedy!"

Lin Qingran gave another cold laugh, staring intently at the boy's somewhat guilty expression.

"You regret it now not because you feel guilty or sorry for me, but because you regret that you weren't careful enough and that I found out."

The boy slumped to the ground, muttering to himself.

"I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, Mr. Jiang, please forgive me..."

Lin Qingran ignored her and looked at Xiao Zhou instead.

"The evidence has all been recorded?"

"It's already been recorded," Xiao Zhou said.

"I just called the police and sent someone to the farmhouse and karaoke bar he mentioned."

The boy stared at Lin Qingran in shock.

She acted so quickly; before she could even finish explaining, Lin Qingran had already called the police.

Now, none of them can escape.

Lin Qingran calmly stood up and left without looking back.

The workers conspired to sabotage factory equipment, which is a major case, and the police are working overtime to interrogate and investigate.

Following the clues, they uncovered Team Leader Li, who was hiding behind the scenes.

According to Team Leader Li's confession, Li Xian was deliberately recruited by him and taken to Qinghebao to gamble.

The reason was that a mysterious man found him and gave him a generous reward.

At the time, nothing else was said, except that he was asked to take Li Xian to gamble.

At that time, Team Leader Li was also unaware that because Li Xian's family was really poor, he could not earn much money from him at all.

But faced with the prospect of earning enough money for him to do in several years, Team Leader Li agreed.

Later, when Li Xian realized something was wrong, he argued with Team Leader Li, but at that time Li Xian was also deeply involved and burdened by huge gambling debts, so he could only let it go.

According to Li Xian's confession, a mysterious wealthy businessman also had his eye on the factory land. Unable to compete openly with Shenghai Group, he tried to sabotage it behind the scenes.

However, the original plan was not to proceed so quickly. The reason why this matter was put on the agenda is related to Lin Qingran's public revelation of her identity.

This result surprised Lin Qingran. She really didn't know that Shen Pei'an had already set his sights on this land long before her identity was exposed.

This is tantamount to telling Lin Qingran that the Lin Group is also currently undergoing a transformation.

But the Lin family is such a large group that it has already established a firm foothold in the capital. Why would it need to compete with these emerging companies for territory?

Perhaps the Lin Group is now facing an insurmountable crisis?

Unfortunately, although Team Leader Li and Li Xian were used by others, Shen Pei'an remained very cautious.
