At the Pinnacle of Power: My Insider Report Alarms Bigwigs in Beijing's Elite Circle

Zhao Tianming was speechless for a moment.

He stared wide-eyed at Lin Yi with disbelief, as if asking: "Why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror to see what kind of person you are, daring to talk to me like that?"

In an instant.

Zhao Tianming's expression darkened, and he frowned as he asked Xiao Yuan, "Xiao Yuan, is there something wrong with your brother's head? I asked him about Gao Hu, and he started talking about the Gao brothers. What's the meaning of that?"

"literal meaning."

It was Lin Yi who spoke again.

Since Zhao Tianming and the Zhao family were determined to protect the Gao brothers, and Xiao Yuan firmly supported him, he chose to confront Zhao Tianming head-on!

"Young man, don't think that just because I'm giving you face as a leader, you can be so disrespectful and have no sense of rules! Haven't you heard the saying 'loose lips sink ships'?"

Zhao Tianming stared coldly at Lin Yi and said in a chilling voice:

"Furthermore, I heard that you said in public that Gao Hu pointed a gun at your head. Who can prove that? Everything needs evidence, you can't just make things up!"

"Who says there's no evidence?"

As he spoke, Lin Yi pulled out his phone from his pocket and started a recording: "You son of a bitch, do you think I wouldn't dare kill you?"

"Shoot now, aim here. Pull the trigger, and I'm dead. Hmm, don't miss, because I'm afraid of pain!"

This is an excerpt from the recording of Lin Yi meeting Gao Hu.

It was only two short sentences, but it was enough to prove that Gao Hu pointed a gun at Lin Yi's head!

Lin Yi, however, remained calm in the face of danger and took the initiative to let Gao Hu fire the shot!

This recording left Xiao Yuan in awe!

He only heard Fu Ming say that Lin Yi single-handedly ventured into the tiger's den, using his wit and courage to resolve the crisis for his parents and then commanded the armed police to successfully capture Gao Hu. He never imagined that the specific process would be so thrilling!

Zhao Tianming's head was buzzing, and he was so angry that he cursed inwardly: They actually let him record it? Is Gao Long's brother an idiot?

"Mr. Zhao, is this evidence sufficient?"

The response to Zhao Long was Lin Yi's deep voice.

"—"

Zhao Long was speechless, trembling with anger.

He lit a cigarette, took a few deep drags, and then said to Xiao Yuan, "Xiao Yuan, we grew up in the same compound. Give me some face, let's leave it at that."

"My brother said that the Gao brothers must die to appease public anger. Didn't you hear him?"

Xiao Yuan retorted, clearly showing he wasn't giving him any face.

Zhao Long's expression changed. He stubbed out his cigarette and said, word by word, "Xiao Yuan, my father knows about this too, and he specifically asked me to come and talk to you. If you do this, it will be difficult for me to explain myself when I go back!"

"Then I'll have Elder Xu, Elder Zhong, Elder Wang, and Elder Chen go and have a talk with your father?"

Xiao Yuan replied coldly.

For him, it didn't matter whether Zhao Tianming wanted to get involved personally or whether Zhao Tianming came on behalf of the Zhao family.

He was determined to stand up for Lin Yi!

If the Zhao family patriarch wants to intervene, then he can only ask a few elders to go to the Zhao family patriarch and ask what the Zhao family's intentions are!

"you……"

Zhao Tianming's expression changed drastically.

Because he could sense the determination in Xiao Yuan's tone!

The elderly people Xiao Yuan mentioned were in no way inferior to the Zhao family patriarch in terms of status, position, and power!

If all four families' elders were to come at the same time, Old Master Zhao would only have one choice: to back down!

Moreover, the old master of the Zhao family did not express any intention to interfere in the affairs of Dongjiang. He simply asked Zhao Tianming to come and have a chat to see what was going on!

"Xiao Yuan, tell me the truth, why did you do this?"

After the initial shock, Zhao Tianming stared intently at Xiao Yuan.

He knew very well that the Xiao family itself did not have much power, but the four major families that Xiao Yuan mentioned owed the Xiao family a huge favor and almost regarded Xiao Yuan as their own son!

But Xiao Yuan never used the four major families to do anything!

But today, Xiao Yuan is going to make an exception!

This left Zhao Tianming completely baffled!

"First, my brother said that the Gao brothers have committed numerous evils and oppressed the people over the years, and their deaths are not enough to appease public anger."

Secondly, from the moment Gao Hu pointed a gun at my brother's head, his fate was sealed!

Xiao Yuan gave his answer in a cold voice, which contained both a sense of righteousness and personal grudges.

"You actually risked angering our old man for the sake of a so-called younger brother?!"

Zhao Tianming was dumbfounded again.

Because Xiao Yuan mentioned Lin Yi repeatedly, and with the emotions revealed in his tone, Zhao Tianming suddenly realized that Xiao Yuan did not treat Lin Yi as a sharp knife, but truly treated him like a younger brother!

This time.

Before Xiao Yuan could answer, the door to the private room was pushed open.

Xu Shimeng, Wang Xiang, Zhong Xiaole, and Chen Zhan walked in.

Today, Xu Shimeng had long, flowing hair that was casually draped over her shoulders. She wore a white dress and black leather shoes, looking like a princess straight out of a fairy tale, breathtakingly beautiful.

"Shimeng, what brings you here?"

Zhao Tianming stood up in surprise when he saw Xu Shimeng.

Xu Shimeng was hailed as the most beautiful woman in Beijing, but this was actually a saying among the sons of the powerful and wealthy.

Ordinary people were unaware of Xu Shimeng's existence.

In the hearts of these powerful and wealthy young men, including Zhao Tianming, Princess Xu was not only a beauty, but also the most perfect marriage partner!

This is also why the elders of many wealthy families hope that Xu Shimeng can become their granddaughter-in-law!

Although Zhao Tianming is nearly forty years old, he is still unmarried and is one of Xu Shimeng's suitors. He launched two rounds of romantic advances, but neither succeeded.

But Zhao Tianming did not give up, and always cherished the desire to marry Xu Shimeng.

however--

Xu Shimeng did not respond to Zhao Tianming.

She didn't even look at Zhao Tianming, but went straight to Lin Yi and Xiao Yuan.

This scene left Zhao Tianming extremely embarrassed.

"Lin Yi, we made a promise that I would treat you to a meal when you came to Beijing, but you didn't even say hello?"

Xu Shimeng stopped in front of Lin Yi, her big, dark eyes staring straight at him like an angry little princess.

what's the situation?

Does Shimeng know that scoundrel?

She's going to treat that little punk to dinner?!

The embarrassment on Zhao Tianming's face instantly turned into shock!

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would rather believe that the woman who spread her legs for him every day was doing it out of love than believe that the usually aloof Xu family princess would say such things to a lowly nobody!

"Um, Miss Xu, Brother Xiao told me he wanted to invite you all to get together tonight, so I didn't call you..."

Lin Yi stood up and explained somewhat embarrassedly.

He thought that Xu Shimeng's invitation that day was just a polite formality, but he didn't expect that Xu Shimeng was serious!

"What, you've become distant after just a few days? You call me Brother Xiao Yuan, but when it comes to me, you call me Miss Xu?"

Xu Shimeng would have been better off not listening; the explanation only made her angrier.

At this moment, she was completely unrelated to the word "virtuous"; she was like a madman, her little tiger teeth showing in anger.

"Ha ha……"

Behind Xu Shimeng, Wang Xiang, Zhong Xiaole, and Chen Zhan, unaware that Zhao Tianming had just clashed with Lin Yi and Xiao Yuan, couldn't help but laugh when they saw the little princess of the Xu family lose her temper.

"Brother Lin Yi, welcome to the capital!"

After laughing, the three of them shook hands with Lin Yi one after another.

What the hell is going on?!

Seeing this, Zhao Tianming was completely dumbfounded!

Wang Xiang, Zhong Xiaole, and Chen Zhan are all well-known sons of powerful and influential families in Beijing. In terms of political connections, they are in no way inferior to him. Yet, they all call Lin Yi their brother?!
