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

The maid answered the phone again.

Lin Yi waited a moment before Sheng Aiyi's voice came from the other end.

"The matter of helping out?"

"Seventh Miss is truly a prophet."

Offering free flattery, Lin Yi then revealed that he had just killed Huang Jinyong because Huang had blackmailed him.

There was immediate silence on the other end of the phone.

After a long pause, Sheng Aiyi finally asked, "Does anyone know that you did this?"

"Currently, only my people know about it, but I think if someone investigates, it will definitely lead to me."

This is not because of Ruan Jianyu and his group.

Zhang Xiaolin was actually trying to blackmail him, so he died.

Now Huang Jinyong is blackmailing him, and he's dead.

Let alone someone like Shen An from the Special Service Department, this kind of thing is out of the question.

Anyone who knows anything about the situation would definitely guess that it was someone else who did it.

Not to mention that he never intended to cover it up this time.

The point is to let people know about my ruthless methods.

"I understand, I'll arrange it."

As Miss Qi spoke on the other end of the phone, she added, "Don't make a fuss about it."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

As expected of someone from the Sheng family, they were so decisive and efficient that they didn't even complain.

Lin Yi thought about it and his opinion of Sheng Aiyi rose even higher...

Soon, he witnessed the Seventh Miss's methods.

The news of Huang Jinyong's murder in the street had spread throughout Shanghai before noon.

This was followed by rumors about the murderer.

Every single one of Huang Jinyong's close disciples is a suspect in the murder.

Upon receiving the news, Lin Yi couldn't help but admire Miss Sheng's not only for her skillful methods but also for her sharp insight.

This sudden turn of several of Huang Jinyong's close associates into suspects was clearly an attempt to incite internal strife within Huang Jinyong's Rongshe organization.

As long as this group becomes a disorganized mess, even if someone guesses that he is the real murderer, probably no one will come looking for revenge on Huang Jinyong's behalf.

"Jingle bell bell."

The phone on the desk rang.

Lin Yi answered the phone and heard Sheng Aiyi's voice.

"You've heard the rumors, haven't you?"

"This is a list. Apart from Lu Benying, you are responsible for dealing with the rest of them."

"Lu Benying will cooperate with you, the sooner the better."

"it is good."

After a brief conversation, Sheng Aiyi on the other end of the line hung up the phone.

"When women get ruthless, men really don't stand a chance."

Lin Yi muttered something to the ringing phone in his hand, then looked up at Ah Sheng and Ruan Jianyu.

"Go find Lu Benying and get the information. Take care of everyone else who is rumored to be the murderer as quickly as possible."

This must have been the most chaotic day since Shanghai opened as a treaty port.

By evening, most of the prominent figures in the Rong Society, starting with Huang Jinyong, were dead.

This was accompanied by various infighting and fighting among the Rongshe disciples.

As news after news reached the Du residence, Du Yuesheng couldn't help but sigh.

"Sir, Yuan Kangting of Rongshe requests an audience."

The steward knocked on the door and came in.

Du Yuesheng didn't rush to speak. He narrowed his eyes and remained silent for a while before shaking his head: "Just say I'm not feeling well and won't be seeing guests today."

"Yes."

The steward left and closed the door behind him. Du Yuesheng then got up and spread out a sheet of Xuan paper on his desk.

He slowly ground the ink, then picked up his brush, dipped it in the ink, and forcefully wrote a large character on the rice paper—"Quiet!"

People from Nanjing had called him before.

He needs to step in and stabilize the current chaotic situation.

But things suddenly turned out this way, and anyone with a brain can guess that a big shot is behind it all.

People with such abilities are few and far between in the entire city of Shanghai.

Combined with the few bits of information he had, he could basically guess who it was.

What he was most curious about now was how Lin Yi had gotten in touch with the Sheng family and how they were willing to go to such lengths to help him.

Whether it's the Sheng family's background or his relationship with Lin Andao, it's all about the Sheng family's wealth and influence.

In this matter, all he could do was stand by and watch quietly.

With one hand holding the brush, he quietly stared at the ink marks on the rice paper, watching them solidify little by little.

Du Yuesheng shook his head and muttered to himself, "Young people these days are really hard to understand."

He had barely finished speaking when he faintly heard several gunshots.

A moment later, the steward hurriedly pushed open the door and came in.

"Sir, Yuan Kangting should be dead."

"Shortly after he left, he was ambushed by gunmen."

Du Yuesheng chuckled and asked, "Not killing anyone at your doorstep, isn't that giving me face?"

……

With the cooperation of Lu Benying, the lackey of Miss Sheng Qi.

Ah Sheng and Ruan Jianyu finished their business before midnight and returned to the Lin Mansion.

Lin Yi had the servants prepare a late-night snack, said a few more words, and then went back to his room to sleep.

The next morning, after getting up early and having a quick breakfast, I headed to the pier.

He boarded the ship after having his ticket checked, and then a waiter blocked his way.

"Mr. Lin, Miss Seven requests your presence."

"..."

"What, are you surprised to see me on this ship?"

The room was lavishly decorated, with large, transparent windows.

Sheng Aiyi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with a vast blue sea behind her.

Lin Yi smiled and shook his head: "Seventh Miss, you're showing a bit of distrust towards me."

"Some people are ruthless and incredibly audacious, and now they've gotten themselves into a lot of trouble."

"I'm not sure if he'll take my money and stay in the US and not come back."

Sheng Aiyi didn't hold back either, practically saying that Lin Yi might run away with the money.

Lin Yi shrugged and looked at Meng Qianyu, who was fiddling with the tea set.

He suspected that Sheng Aiyi wasn't there to spy on him.

Instead, he used this opportunity to elope with Meng Qianyu!

"Qianyu has never been to the United States, so this is a good opportunity to take her there."

"Mr. Lin won't mind, will he?"

Seeing Lin Yi's somewhat strange expression, Sheng Aiyi said something provocatively.

"of course not."

Lin Yi shook his head, then smiled at Meng Qianyu: "It will take more than half a month for this ship to reach the United States."

"I was worried about how I would get through the next two weeks, but now that Miss Meng is here, it couldn't be better."

Sheng Aiyi's pretty face immediately darkened. "What, do you want Qianyu to sing a song for you?"

"I can't accept that."

Lin Yi chuckled and looked at Meng Qianyu, who had a faint smile on her face: "But the weather is nice today, we should be able to see the stars tonight."

"Miss Meng, you don't know, lying on the deck and looking at the stars is a unique experience."

"If Miss Meng doesn't mind, I would like to invite you to the deck to enjoy the moon tonight."

Originally intended as a demonstration, they never expected to run into someone as shameless as Lin Yi.

Miss Sheng Qi finally lost her temper and gritted her teeth, saying, "Get out!"

"Miss Meng, see you tonight."

Lin Yi chuckled and turned to leave with a hint of smugness.

There was nothing wrong, but they had to go looking for trouble.

Am I the kind of parent who spoils their child?
