“There’s no need to check,” Sun Manlou said.
“Don’t show your faces for the time being. Find a place to hide. 1’11 arrange for you to leave Huaxia soon.”
Sun Manlou’s words made both of them nervous.
“Boss Sun, are you dissatisfied with us because we didn’t kill him?” the man said.
“No, you’re overthinking it. 1 know Lin Yi’s level. I’m already pleased that you could do this much,” Sun Manlou said.
“His identity is extraordinary. It’s possible he has already started investigating this matter. I’m afraid that your tracks will be exposed. It will be dangerous if you go to the hospital after this. For your safety, you can’t show your faces again.”
With that, Sun Manlou took out two bank cards from under the coffee table and pushed them towards the duo.
“There’s a million yuan in each card. This is your reward for this mission. I’ll help you arrange the rest now. Just wait for my news.”
“Thank you, Boss!” The two of them were overjoyed and left with their bank cards.
After a few minutes, Sun Manlou heard the sound of the engine gradually fading away.
“Old Zheng, have someone keep an eye on them. If those two do anything they shouldn’t, find an opportunity to take care of them.”
“I understand. I’ll have someone watch them,” Zheng Kunpeng replied. “But what about Lin Yi?”
“First, gather information on his situation, then find a few new faces to go over and take care of him. We can’t make any mistakes.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Zheng Kunpeng nodded and turned around to leave to arrange the follow-up matters.
Only the Sun brothers were left in the entire villa.
“Brother, aren’t we going too far with this?”
“Brother, do you know why you haven’t made a name for yourself after so many years?” Sun Manlou said in a low voice.
“Because I’m not ruthless enough.”
“You, hehe…”
Sun Manlou laughed. “What decade is it? Comparing ruthlessness is an outdated practice. I couldn’t have reached my position today if 1 stuck to that.”
Sun Manjia did not say anything and waited for his brother to continue.
“In today’s society, brains are what matters,” Sun Manlou said.
It’s like if you want to make cars, but you’re a tofu seller. Does that mean you can’t do it? Of course not. You just need to use your brain and hire people who know how to make cars.”
“That’s the situation right now,” Sun Manlou said.
“If it were up to me, I probably wouldn’t bother Lin Yi anymore. But the Wang family has already expressed their disapproval of my actions. I have no choice,” Sun Manlou explained.
“I understand that,” Sun Manjia replied.
“What 1 mean is, do you really have to go to such extremes? Regardless, Lin Yi is a well-known businessman, and if you do this, it could have a very negative social impact. I’m afraid it might backfire.”
“I have no choice. I only have one path ahead of me, and I must do it this way,” Sun Manlou said.
“This is an opportunity for me to establish a firm foothold and continue climbing. If someday in the future, I can enter the core circle of the Wang family, that’s when our Sun family can truly turn the tables.”
“Brother, are you planning to…”
“That’s right, I want to gain power!” Sun Manlou narrowed his eyes.
“No matter how powerful we are here, no matter how big our business is, it’s still not presentable. Just like Lin Yi. So what if he’s rich? Young Master Wang still doesn’t know him. He can kill him with a casual word, but when you have real power, things are different.”
After saying this, Sun Manlou sighed.
“If one Sun Manlou falls, countless other Sun Manlous will rise. If one richest person loses their title, there will be even stronger newcomers taking their place. Because our wealth and fame are bestowed by the times, but the times themselves are created by those in the center of power. So, this opportunity is more like a test from the Wang family, and 1 must seize it,” Sun Manlou explained.
“Brother, are you saying that the Wang family values the process rather than the outcome?” Sun Manjia asked.
“Do you really think those in the center of power are fools? They are all incredibly capable, and the blood on their hands is enough to stain the Songhua River red. Compared to them, I’m just a small fry,” Sun Manlou said.
“That’s why they won’t accept me unless I impress them. That’s why 1 want Lin Yi dead.”
“Furthermore, he humiliated me in front of so many people. If I don’t get him back, not only will I be embarrassed in front of the Wang family, but 1’11 also be seen as an incompetent boss in the eyes of the people below. Due to all this, Lin Yi has to die. To me, this is killing two birds with one stone.”
“Okay, I get it.”
Sun Manlou patted his brother’s shoulder. “After this is done, I might have to leave. I’ll leave everything at home to you. At that time, the new King of the Norheast will be yourself.”
“Haha, Brother, if you say that, I won’t stand on ceremony with you.”
Early the next morning, Lin Yi was still lying in the hospital bed. He then intentionally found an excuse to send Aiming out to buy breakfast and called Liang Ruoxu.
“Did you find out the information?” Lin Yi asked.
“It’s just as you suspected,” Liang Ruoxu replied.
“That person named Sun Manlou is indeed backed by the Wang family. Moreover, according to the information from the Central Guards Brigade, he has reached C-class, which makes him a formidable expert. He can be considered one of the secret forces the Wang family was secretly cultivating.” “What about the rest? Have you found out about the Wang family’s recent movements?”
“The other members of the Wang family are behaving normal, but Wang Mian went to Bingcheng three nights ago to transfer to Ruxia to discuss a deal on imported lumber.”
“Three days ago?”
Lin Yi muttered and cursed in his heart.
“He fought with Sun Manlou two nights ago. In other words, Wang Mian arrived in Bingcheng the day before and met Sun Manlou. Then, a day later, there was a conflict between both sides.”
Lin Yi’s mind was spinning as he tried to figure this out.
Based on Wang Mian’s knowledge of himself, if he had known that there was a conflict between the two sides, he probably wouldn’t have let Sun Manlou and himself engage directly.
Even if he wanted to seek revenge, he would have made preparations behind the scenes.
However, the subsequent meeting proceeded as planned. After defeating Sun Manlou, Lin Yi left without any issues.
This suggests that prior to that, Wang Mian was not aware of the conflict between Lin Yi and Sun Manlou.
He only found out about this after the conflict.
But there was something else that Lin Yi didn’t understand.
Wang Mian understood his own situation very well, and it was unlikely that he would have Sun Manlou take action again.
With this thought in mind, Lin Yi’s eyes shifted.
In that case, did it mean Wang Mian wanted Sun Manlou to confront him and trigger something explosive?
