Chapter 1082 - 1080: Scoundrel
"Are you all okay?" Li Qiang looked at the group and shouted.
Everyone shook their heads, indicating they were fine, and a dozen pairs of eyes were fixed on Li Qiang, showing some bewilderment and fear.
Li Qiang surveyed the room, which had been beaten into chaos, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Damn it, we're all heading back home. It seems we can't stay here any longer."
Soon, Li Qiang informed Zhou Rui of the news of another attack.
As the soul of the entire Sichuan University Group, Zhou Rui agreed with Li Qiang's decision to have everyone withdraw for their safety and called Lin Chuan.
When she learned Lin Chuan was in Jiangbei City, a sudden anger sparked inside her, and she fiercely scolded Lin Chuan over the phone.
At that time, Lin Chuan was planning to go to the provincial capital with Song Xiaojia to meet Song Jianguo.
The reason for Zhou Rui's anger was actually quite simple; Lin Chuan returned to Jiangbei City without even letting her know, suggesting she had no place in his heart.
Upon receiving Zhou Rui's call and being scolded violently, Lin Chuan realized it was his fault. He hurriedly apologized to Zhou Rui, saying he would head to Sichuan University Group immediately.
Song Xiaojia was delighted to prepare to return home and meet her father with Lin Chuan. Who knew that just before departing, Lin Chuan mentioned he had urgent business at Sichuan University Group, which naturally made her very unhappy, and Lin Chuan had to put in a lot of effort to coax her into accepting.
It had been a long time since Lin Chuan returned to his self-founded company. Standing in front of the Sichuan University Group office building, he suddenly felt a sensation he couldn't quite describe.
Sichuan University Group was the headquarters of Jvyi Gang, and most of the employees were members of Jvyi Gang. Seeing Lin Chuan return, they cheered enthusiastically, making Lin Chuan feel a sense of homecoming.
Entering Zhou Rui's office, Lin Chuan intended to joke, but upon seeing Zhou Rui's displeased face, he quickly apologized again: "Chili Pepper, don't be angry, it's all my fault."
Zhou Rui looked coldly, without even glancing at Lin Chuan or speaking.
Lin Chuan walked over to Zhou Rui, leaned in close, and chuckled: "Young Lady, I've apologized several times, won't you forgive me? How about this, as long as you can forgive me, I accept any punishment."
Zhou Rui turned her head and glanced at Lin Chuan, making him pull a funny face.
"You still know this is your company, huh, and don't come here first when you return." Zhou Rui's pretty face still showed signs of anger.
Lin Chuan chuckled: "I'm back now, don't be mad at me, okay."
After Lin Chuan entered the office, Zhou Rui's anger had significantly subsided, although she didn't let it show on her face, determined not to easily let him off.
"Humph, how can I not be angry; you dumped such a big mess on me, don't care about anything, I'm no one to you, am I?" Zhou Rui took this opportunity to vent.
Lin Chuan said, "Young Lady, Aunt, Little Ancestor, I know you've worked hard. As I said, I accept any punishment."
Pfft...
Zhou Rui was amused by Lin Chuan's antics and laughed, reaching out with her right hand to hit him on the chest, scolding: "Rascal."
Seeing Zhou Rui laugh, Lin Chuan grabbed her right hand that had hit his chest and pulled her into his arms.
Zhou Rui could no longer withstand the longing in her heart and fell into Lin Chuan's embrace.
After a long time, Zhou Rui blushingly struggled out of Lin Chuan's arms, tidied her messy clothes, and said, "What are you planning to do about things in Baghdad?"
Lin Chuan pondered and said, "I've made plans for it, you just need to comfort the injured employees there."
Amu Han turned his guns directly on Sichuan University Group's seafood supermarket in Baghdad, clearly as revenge for capturing their number two person, Murray Hand.
If Bai Yifan is really connected to base elements in Japan as Qingzi claimed, then it must be Amu Han's gang.
The issue will ultimately need resolution, and Lin Chuan has secretly decided to take this opportunity to strike back hard at Amu Han's group.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements here first. By the way, you came back to Jiangbei City and didn't go home to see, huh? Xiao Xi has been asking about your news every few days." Zhou Rui said.
Lin Chuan immediately visualized the girl's image, saying, "I'm heading to the provincial capital today; I'll go find her when I return."
Zhou Rui did not ask why Lin Chuan was going to the provincial capital, just reported the latest situation of Sichuan University Group to him. From being imprisoned by Americans until now, eight months had passed, and during these eight months, the Sichuan University Group had flourished, expanding beyond its own businesses to cooperate with Wal-Mart Chain Group in America, and profits were already proving fruitful.
After spending over an hour at the Sichuan University Group, Lin Chuan visited his brothers at Jvyi Gang, delivered a passionate speech, and then left with Song Xiaojia, heading towards the provincial capital.
Throughout the journey, Song Xiaojia seemed particularly happy and shared many things. Among these, one event piqued Lin Chuan's interest greatly.
Li Jiangping, as the director of Huainan Road Police Station, had a hilarious debacle with Lv Yan.
The story begins with Lv Yan; apparently, Li Jiangping was fooling around with Lv Yan in the office, with such boldness that they didn't even bother to close the door. Unfortunately, a rookie officer stumbled upon their affair and was immediately at a loss.
To prevent the mishap from spreading, Li Jiangping threatened this officer, warning that if he dared to leak it, he would be fired immediately.
This officer dared not tell anyone about this matter. Yet, during a dinner with some young colleagues, a few drinks loosened his tongue, and he spilled the beans.
This stirred up a hornet's nest; within less than a day, everyone at the station knew. It became a hot topic of gossip behind the scenes. Somehow, the news reached Li Jiangping's wife's ears.
Upon hearing this, Li Jiangping's wife was furious and ran to the station to confront Lv Yan. The two women ended up in a catfight in the office.
Most officers at the station disliked both Li Jiangping and Lv Yan, and they delighted in the spectacle.
Li Jiangping's wife was no pushover; amidst the brawl, she started hitting Lv Yan, who couldn't tolerate the abuse and retaliated.
During the fight, Li Jiangping's wife used a claw-like grip to tear open Lv Yan's recent breast augmentation. Things got heated. When Li Jiangping returned from errands and saw this scene, he hurried to mediate.
Lv Yan vented her anger on Li Jiangping, turning the office into a chaotic battleground, amusing all those watching.
Eventually, Zhang Wenhui couldn't stand it any longer, storming in and scolding the three, finally bringing the incident to a close.
Though ridiculous, what caught Lin Chuan's attention was Song Xiaojia mentioning she saw a butterfly tattoo on Lv Yan's arm outside the office.
The disappearance of the British Queen Elizabeth's daughter Manler is deeply connected with the Fire Butterfly organization, whose prominent emblem is a butterfly tattoo on the arm.
Lv Yan's butterfly tattoo might imply she is part of the Fire Butterfly organization. If so, Lin Chuan wouldn't need to travel to Malaysia but could start investigations directly with Lv Yan.
"Xiao Jia, how do you feel about Zhang Wenhui becoming the director?" Lin Chuan asked Song Xiaojia while driving.
Song Xiaojia shares a close relationship with Zhang Wenhui at the station. Naturally, she wholeheartedly agreed, saying, "Of course I support Captain Zhang becoming the director. Compared to Li Jiangping, Zhang is far superior in both character and ability."
Lin Chuan said, "Then it's settled, I promise to make your Captain Zhang the director."
Song Xiaojia scoffed, "Stop bragging, you're not the leader. You can't just say Li Jiangping will be replaced."
Lin Chuan laughed, "Xiao Jia, think it through; after the scandal Li Jiangping and Lv Yan caused, if someone reports it to the City Bureau, he would be suspended immediately."
These years, the state has paid particular attention to the personal conduct of officeholders. Li Jiangping's misdeeds haven't been reported yet, but if they were, it would surely lead to his removal.
Song Xiaojia's eyes sparkled, saying, "You've really thought it through, Lin Chuan. Why didn't I think of that?"
Lin Chuan chuckled, "To expedite things, hint to your dad in conversation. You get what I mean?"
Even if Xiao Jia were dim-witted, she understood Lin Chuan's implication. With Song Jianguo as the Provincial Committee's leader, how could he ignore a scandal involving his officials?
Regarding Li Jiangping and Lv Yan, Lin Chuan despises them to the core, considering them nothing but trouble, and if left to continue, who knows how many more will suffer.
After over two hours of traveling, they arrived at the provincial capital around eleven o'clock in the morning.
Before reaching the provincial capital, Song Xiaojia had already called to inform Song Jianguo about Lin Chuan's visit. Hearing his future son-in-law was coming, Song Jianguo dropped everything and rushed home.
For his first visit to Secretary Song's house, Lin Chuan wondered how to make a good impression and asked Song Xiaojia, "What does Secretary Song like?"
Song Xiaojia thought and said, "My dad doesn't have many hobbies; he enjoys drinking tea."
Lin Chuan took Song Xiaojia to a tea shop and, without daring to buy anything too expensive, bought two cans of Da Hong Pao and headed to her home.
Inside, he found Song Jianguo seated on the sofa. Lin Chuan quickly and respectfully said, "Hello, Secretary Song."
Song Jianguo stood up, smiling warmly, reached out his hand, and said, "Lin Chuan is here, please have a seat."
