No one knew that Gu Qinghan brought people here entirely because of the text message from Ye Shishi.
Ye Shishi and Gu Qinghan’s parents were both professors at Nanling University and lived in the same dormitory building.
From the time Ye Shishi was nine years old, she became friends with Gu Qinghan, and they played together.
However, although both Ye Shishi and Gu Qinghan were gifted individuals, their interests were diametrically opposed.
Ye Shishi’s superior intelligence was entirely dedicated to commercial competition, with the sole aim of establishing a vast commercial banking empire and dominating the world.
Gu Qinghan, on the other hand, applied her high intelligence to criminal investigation, driven by the desire to eradicate all criminals and bring peace and order to the world.
The reason Ye Shishi and Gu Qinghan could become best friends, besides growing up together, was that they were both the same kind of person: aloof and dismissive of others, never taking anyone seriously.
Gu Qinghan once joked with Ye Shishi that since there were no men they found worthy, they might as well remain single together until old age.
And now, Ye Shishi discovered that Gu Qinghan was not only chatting and laughing with Shen Lang but also hiding an undisguised admiration for him in her eyes.
Ye Shishi had known Gu Qinghan for a long time and had never seen her behave this way towards any man.
With just one glance, Ye Shishi confirmed that Gu Qinghan had developed feelings for Shen Lang.
Love is the most complex thing in the world. Some people you have known for over a decade or even decades, who flatter you in every way and would even sacrifice their lives for you, yet you just cannot fall for them.
But some people, with just one look, you are forever smitten, willing to throw yourself into the fire for them, even if it leads to your own demise, and find it sweet.
Seeing that Gu Qinghan actually had feelings for Shen Lang, that bastard, Ye Shishi felt both pity for Gu Qinghan’s misfortune and anger at her lack of resolve, while also growing increasingly dissatisfied with Shen Lang.
What was so special about this bastard that even Gu Qinghan had feelings for him?
Was it just that he was taller, more handsome, had better medical skills, or possessed abnormal combat strength? Besides these, what else did the bastard have?
Lin Zhengyi’s reaction was entirely different from Ye Shishi’s. Seeing Gu Qinghan chatting and laughing with Shen Lang, without any thought of holding Shen Lang accountable for the death of Lin Nianfo, Lin Zhengyi immediately sensed something was wrong and nervously asked, “Director Gu, what do you mean by this?”
“Lin Zhengyi, still pretending to be confused when you’re not? Don’t you know what I mean?”
Hearing Lin Zhengyi’s words, the smile on Gu Qinghan’s face vanished instantly. She became completely devoid of gentleness, her voice chillingly terrifying. “More than ten years ago, two thousand orphans in Nanling inexplicably disappeared. Do you think no one has suspected this over the years?”
“Let me tell you, I have been investigating this matter for three years. A month ago, I confirmed that it was your Lin family who turned those children into golden boys and jade girls to make illicit profits. We just lacked conclusive evidence, so we allowed you to run wild until now.”
“I didn’t expect that I couldn’t find conclusive evidence, but Lin Nianfo himself revealed it, and it was recorded. Heaven truly has eyes.”
Gu Qinghan’s gaze was sharp and chilling as she spoke to Lin Zhengyi. “Your Lin family’s anti-human crime, Lin Nianfo was involved, and I believe that the rest of your Lin family members are also involved.”
“Lin Nianfo is dead. Do you people really think you can get away with it?”
What?
Upon hearing Gu Qinghan’s words, Lin Zhengyi, Lin Tianxiong, and all the Lin family members present turned pale with fright and became uneasy.
Gu Qinghan’s pretty face turned cold, and with a wave of her hand, she ordered the more than thirty armed guards, “Arrest all the Lin family members present and take them away. If there is any resistance, they can be shot on the spot.”
“As for these deceased individuals, I recognize a few of them as high-priority fugitives on the Red List. I presume the others are not good people either. Contact the technical department to come and identify them.”
“Yes—"
As soon as Gu Qinghan finished speaking, the more than thirty armed guards rushed forward, shouting at the Lin family, “Everyone put your hands on your heads and squat down, quickly! Don’t resist, or you’ll be shot on the spot!”
“What?”
Lin Zhengyi, Lin Tianxiong, and all the Lin family members present had never witnessed such a scene. They were immediately scared pale and finally obediently put their hands on their heads and squatted down.
After they squatted down, they were immediately handcuffed and shackled by the guards.
“From this day forth, there is no more Lin family in Nanling…”
Seeing this, Yang Ce sighed and said.
If someone had told Yang Ce before today that a single person could destroy a family, Yang Ce would never have believed it.
Now, Yang Ce believed it.
Shen Lang’s power alone was terrifying.
He could not find a way to kill Shen Lang now, so he could only place his hopes on the Kong family in Longdu.
“Shen Lang, give me your address. If you need any help later, I will contact you.”
In less than five minutes, all twenty-odd members of the Lin family were handcuffed, shackled, and loaded into vehicles.
Before leaving, Gu Qinghan walked up to Shen Lang, her face regaining its bright smile, and said.
Gu Qinghan had originally wanted Shen Lang’s phone number and WeChat. However, realizing that Shen Lang’s phone was in her possession, she immediately changed her mind and asked for his address.
“I live in Villa No. 29, Emperor Villa Garden.”
Shen Lang had a very good impression of Gu Qinghan, so he was very polite and readily gave her his address.
“Good, I’ll come find you there if anything comes up.”
Gu Qinghan smiled, then left with the twenty-odd guards, escorting the Lin family members. Ten guards remained to set up a cordon and secure the scene.
Seeing this, the guests present gasped, and fearing they might be contaminated by the ill fortune, they quickly stood up and left the scene.
After everyone else had left, Ye Shishi walked up to Shen Lang and said, “Gu Qinghan is my best friend. Since I helped you tonight, you must cure me as soon as possible.”
Hearing this, Shen Lang finally understood why Gu Qinghan had come and knew everything; it turned out Ye Shishi had tipped her off.
However, Gu Qinghan’s appearance had indeed saved Shen Lang a lot of trouble.
He looked at Ye Shishi and smiled, “Don’t worry, Shishi, I will do my best as soon as possible.”
“Hmph—”
Hearing Shen Lang’s words, Ye Shishi was inwardly satisfied, but outwardly, she maintained a cold expression. With a hmph, she left the scene.
After Ye Shishi left, Wang Yunchuan walked over with the white-clothed girl.
“Haha, Little Shen, congratulations! After tonight, no one in Nanling will be unfamiliar with you. You have become famous overnight.”
“Elder Wang?”
Shen Lang had not paid attention to the guests present earlier and only now noticed Wang Yunchuan. He was first surprised and then his face turned angry. “Elder Wang, has Wang Yuyan returned? When can the engagement be broken off?”
“Let me tell you, I have waited three days and have no patience to wait a week. Since we meet here today, the engagement must be broken off today.”
