People in the Republic of China era began to rise from industry.

Uncle Nan didn't return until evening.

"I met Cui Sihai, and he admitted that Lin Fang is currently at Jixiang Casino. However, according to Cui Sihai, Lin Fang has been detained."

As he spoke, Uncle Nan handed a piece of paper to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi took it and saw that it was an IOU.

The IOU was very simple.

The debtor Lin Fang's name was preceded by the qualifier "Assistant Manager of Ando Company".

The amount is one million.

The reason is clear: gambling debts.

The most crucial part is the end.

It not only bears Lin Fang's signature and personal seal.

There is also a seal from Ando Company.

So, this is a case of a failed covert attempt to seize something, followed by a planned outright robbery?

"The company's seal should be genuine. I had someone go to the company to ask. A few days ago, Lin Fang said he wanted to sign a contract and take it away."

Hearing Uncle Nan's words, Lin Yi didn't find anything unbelievable.

Lin Fang was in charge of purchasing and sales, so it was normal for him to sign contracts and obtain the company seal.

Moreover, the few contract manufacturers that Jing Zhizhong talked to a few days ago were the ones he instructed Lin Fang to finalize the contracts with in a timely manner.

Maybe that's when it was taken away.

In that era, many businessmen valued keeping their promises and did not place much importance on things like contracts and official seals.

The management is not so strict as to be outrageous.

However, this guy is now using the company seal on this, so if we really try to argue about it, Andao Company will most likely be the one to suffer.

Uncle Nan was aware of this as well.

Seeing Lin Yi's furrowed brows, he said, "This matter is indeed a bit tricky right now."

"With this IOU, we're really stuck with them."

Lin Yi frowned, pondering whether he should personally oversee the management of the company seal in the future.

It's not that I'm worried about this, as Uncle Nan thought.

He didn't feel any of the trouble that Uncle Nan mentioned.

Lin Fang dared to use such blatant robbery only because he was relying on Zhang Xiaolin's powerful connections, which Andao Company couldn't afford to offend.

However, once Zhang Xiaolin dies, this problem will no longer exist.

However, since Uncle Nan said so, Lin Yi followed up by asking, "Can this be discussed?"

He didn't plan to tell Uncle Nan about killing Zhang Xiaolin.

Older people, they inevitably tend to seek stability in their actions.

Unlike young people like him, who are quick to attack the enemy's heart at the slightest provocation.

Uncle Nan didn't rush to speak, and after considering for a moment, he said, "I'm afraid it will take some effort."

“Cui Sihai is nothing to fear, but this guy keeps talking about the rules of the underworld: debts must be repaid.”

"I suspect he's planning to use Zhang Xiaolin's name to intimidate people."

"Even regarding what happened today, he only admitted that he sent people to stop you in order to collect this debt, and he even falsely accused us of attacking first without distinguishing right from wrong."

Hearing Uncle Nan's words, Lin Yi was amused.

Sure enough, as long as a person has no shame, they can say anything with a straight face.

"Uncle Nan, I think we should try to talk this over as much as possible and show our sincerity first."

Lin Yi shared his opinion.

They planned to have Uncle Nan cover for Zhang Xiaolin's killing.

Having already humbled themselves to beg for peace, who would have thought they would turn against Zhang Xiaolin?

"You could even take out some money."

"However, Lin Fang must be handed over."

He was going to go all the way, and from any perspective, he had no reason to let Lin Fang off the hook.

Lin Yi spoke very strongly when he mentioned Lin Fang.

Uncle Nan understood that Lin Yi still believed that Lin Andao's matter was related to Lin Fang.

A hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he nodded and said, "I understand. I will handle this matter."

Fang Chang returned in the middle of the night or early morning.

When he arrived at the study and found Lin Yi was not there, he turned around and went to Lin Yi's bedroom.

"Old Fang, next time you call me in the middle of the night, could you please knock first?"

Lin Yi sat on the bed, clutching his chest and complaining.

He stood at the head of the bed like a ghost in the middle of the night, wearing a white Zhongshan suit.

If I hadn't been brave since I was a child, I might have had a heart attack by now.

Fang Chang smiled and ignored it.

He said, "I've found out everything. Recently, Zhang Xiaolin has taken a liking to an actor and often goes to the Meilin Theater to watch and support him."

"And there's a performance by this actor tomorrow night... no, tonight, and Zhang Xiaolin will definitely be there."

"He will definitely go backstage after the show, and I will wait for him there."

"Kill him at close range?"

"Yes, break his neck."

When the topic of murder methods came up, Fang Chang laughed in a madman-like manner.

"Old Fang, do you kill people by twisting their necks?"

"White clothes are unstained by blood."

...You've got to show off like that.

Lin Yi muttered to himself, then shook his head and said, "If that's the case, then it won't work; the features are too obvious."

"Killing him at close range is no problem, but this time you'll have to use a gun."

"Firstly, it's safer than twisting someone's neck, and secondly, it won't easily arouse suspicion."

Lin Yi knew that Fang Chang could use a gun, and that his marksmanship was definitely not bad.

The last time he dismantled a Browning machine in front of everyone, Lin Yi was witnessed by Qingyan, and it was turned into a pile of parts in the blink of an eye.

"...Okay, it's up to you."

Fang Chang reluctantly agreed, then laughed and said, "I'll change into a costume and paint my face later, and I guarantee no one will be able to see what I look like."

"good idea."

"How is Guan Yu?"

"Wouldn't that be inappropriate? How about Dou Erdun?"

"……also."

……

The report did not disappoint the insider information provided by Lin Yi.

The next day, Lin Yi, who woke up late, saw the news about the Feng Hua bicycle store being vandalized on the second page while having breakfast.

People in the press are indeed stubborn, even though they didn't mention Zhang Xiaolin's name.

But it explicitly states that it was Renlu who did this.

But who in Shanghai doesn't know that Renlu represents Zhang Xiaolin?

So Lin Yi was in a good mood all morning.

Especially since he made it to the second page today, once Zhang Xiaolin is taken down tonight, he'll definitely be on the front page tomorrow!

However, around noon, when Uncle Nan, who had left early in the morning, returned, Lin Yi was caught off guard by some bad news.

"I went to visit Zhang Xiaolin, but I was unable to meet him."

"So I went to see Mr. Du again. Mr. Du also called Zhang Xiaolin, but Zhang Xiaolin was not very accommodating. He only said to stick to the facts and follow the rules."

"Du Yuesheng?"

"Yes, you and Du Yuesheng were quite close back then, you could say you knew each other when you were both still in humble circumstances."

"That's it."

Lin Yi frowned and nodded, not particularly interested in these old stories.

It's normal for people in the martial arts world to have some connections.

What bothered him was that Uncle Nan handled this matter far too quickly.

He originally thought that it would take at least a few days for Uncle Nan to run around and quell the matter.

Unexpectedly, he went directly to Du Yuesheng.

Du Yuesheng, being so considerate, made the phone call directly, only to be humiliated in return.

Even he couldn't help much now.

So, seeking help from others afterward would theoretically have no effect.

In this way, the matter appears to outsiders as a dead end.

In that case, if Zhang Xiaolin dies, some people might suspect that he took the risk!
