Just when Bai Mei's heart was filled with confusion, she heard the sound of a ringtone.
Seeing the call notification on her phone, Bai Mei smiled softly, a smile that conveyed the feeling of being wrapped in a gentle spring breeze.
"Chief Li, have you finally decided to call me?"
On the other end of the line, Li Yun, who had been lying on the sofa watching an interesting video of Luo Fan, was surprised to hear Bai Mei's voice and quickly sat up.
Has Bai Mei lost her mind? Is she daring to flirt with me?
If she wants to play, I'll play along until the end.
"What's the matter? Are you feeling lonely and empty, and want me to keep you company?" Li Yun said in a playful tone.
This time, Bai Mei was the one who was taken aback. The richest man in Jinling, the head of one of the four great families in the city, was really saying something like this? It was completely unbelievable.
"Yes, I do feel lonely and empty, but unfortunately, someone is already in the arms of a beauty and couldn't care less if I live or die," Bai Mei replied, somewhat embarrassed, with a hint of jealousy in her voice.
"Oh, you feel lonely and empty? I don't know how cold you must be, do you need me to come and cheer you up a bit?" Li Yun said with a teasing touch.
Hearing Li Yun's direct words, even Bai Mei, usually so confident, felt a little embarrassed.
"Chief Li, you're a wicked man!"
Bai Mei held back for a moment before managing to say this.
This made Li Yun laugh. He hadn't expected Bai Mei, the strong woman, to have such a tender side. It was truly surprising.
The two of them chatted and laughed for a while until Li Yun changed the subject and finally began to talk business.
"I called you because there's something I need you to help me resolve."
Upon hearing that Li Yun was talking about something serious, Bai Mei also became serious. Setting aside her playful tone, she sat up straight and said seriously, "Director Li, tell me what you need."
"It's something related to a plot of land on the outskirts of northern Jinling. Do you know if that area is in the process of expropriation?"
Li Yun then mentioned the location of Luo Fan's house.
Bai Mei was puzzled when she heard this. Why, being the richest man in Jinling, would Li Yun be interested in such a trivial matter?
"Director Li, wait a moment, I'll look up the information for you."
Without hesitation, Bai Mei began to investigate.
In Bai Mei's business empire, besides bars and KTVs, she also had a major business: demolition equipment.
Since her business operated in a gray area, many companies worked with them for demolitions, especially when there were residents who opposed the work, as people in their "business" could solve such problems.
After taking control of the underground forces of Jinling, Bai Mei controlled most of the demolition equipment in the city.
Therefore, she was fully aware of all the areas slated for demolition.
After doing a little research, Bai Mei quickly found the relevant information.
"Director Li, I researched it and, indeed, they are in the process of demolition. Most of the residents have already reached an agreement, there are just a few who haven't moved out yet."
"Perfect. Then, get some people who are not connected to you, outsiders, and have them go there and take a look..."
Li Yun then explained his plan.
Upon hearing this, Bai Mei was even more confused. She didn't understand why Li Yun, so busy, was concerned about something so trivial. Why did he want her to handle it?
Such matters were too insignificant for someone like him to bother with, let alone go through the trouble of calling her.
Bai Mei wanted to ask what he was trying to do, but she held herself back.
Although she appeared to be the queen of the underground world in Jinling, she was, in reality, just an employee of Li Yun. If he was unhappy with her, he could easily get rid of her.
Now wasn't the best time to ask uncomfortable questions.
"Director Li, should we intimidate them or just do a little to scare them?"
Although it wasn't appropriate to ask about Li Yun's reasons, Bai Mei still needed to know how to proceed.
"No need, just do it normally, no special instructions are required."
"Understood."
When she heard this, Bai Mei understood what she needed to do.
While they were talking, suddenly someone knocked on her room door.
"Sister, this isn't good! The police have surrounded the place!"
Outside the door, a young woman, about 20 years old, spoke in a hurry.
"What?"
"The police are here?"
Bai Mei was startled when she heard this. It wasn't that she feared the police, but they had Li Yun's protection. Normally, no police would dare to bother them.
"Xiao Hong, what's going on?"
Bai Mei opened the door and let Xiao Hong in to ask her.
"I don't know the details, but they're heavily armed, watching all the exits. They say you're involved in a murder case and they're taking you in for questioning," Xiao Hong said, somewhat nervous.
"A murder case?"
"What's going on?"
Hearing Xiao Hong's description, Bai Mei felt that things were getting serious.
If they've come heavily armed, they clearly aren't here for peace.
Moreover, after absorbing the powers of Wu and Long San, no one dared to bother them. This problem was clearly bigger than it seemed.
"What's going on?"
On the other end of the line, Li Yun also seemed confused. It looked like someone was causing trouble for Bai Mei.
"Wait, don't get into a conflict with them, I'm on my way now," Li Yun said seriously as he stood up.
After all, Bai Mei was a woman he had chosen, and if someone was looking for trouble with her, he definitely wouldn't allow it.
"AXiang, prepare the car. Let's go to Dongjiang immediately!"
After giving the order to prepare the car, Li Yun didn't hesitate and started his journey.
On the way, Li Yun communicated with leaders of various city departments to try to figure out who was behind all this.
"Director Yang, are you sure these aren't police from your station? My men are telling me they are from the station and are heavily armed. If there's any resistance, they'll shoot," Li Yun said, visibly annoyed.
Director Yang, on the other end of the line, was sweating cold. At Li Yun's question, he had no idea what was going on.
Now, Li Yun was not the same as before.
After the deaths of Chen Feiyu and others, Li Yun had absorbed the power of the Chen family, and the Yang and Gu families had also been significantly weakened. Now, the Li family was the true powerhouse of Jinling, and a mere police station chief wouldn't dare challenge him.
