Chapter 200: Chapter 198: Leaving Longtu Group

"Li Xue," Fang Yi said solemnly.

"Yes?" Li Xue hadn’t noticed that Fang Yi had changed how he addressed her.

"Go bring Hong Cheng to the station," Fang Yi ordered.

Li Xue jolted, asking, "So soon?!"

"Since we’re going to arrest him anyway, sooner or later it’s all the same, and we also have a legitimate reason now, so, arrest him."

Hong Cheng, a follower of Song Haoyue, was the owner of Sky Blue KTV. It wasn’t only Yao Tong who had been trafficked in his KTV; there were probably many more.

Now, Fang Yi was having Li Xue capture someone. On one hand, it would disrupt their internal operations; on the other hand, he wanted to test what they would do next.

The situation was such that Fang Yi and his team were visible, while Hong Cheng and his people were hidden in the darkness. Only by stirring the waters could the fish be forced to emerge.

"Okay."

Li Xue was decisive in her actions, but she quickly remembered something and said, "You’re not my boss. On what authority do you order me around?"

It took her a while to reach this point, and Fang Yi said with a smile, "Heroine, we’re on the same side now. We’re both aiming for the same goal. Does it matter who gives the orders?"

Li Xue nodded, seemingly deep in thought. "That makes sense..."

...

...

Fang Yi first sent Yao Dong and Yao Bo back to the hotel, and then took Lin Lin with him. Yes, Fang Yi took Lin Lin with him.

Fang Yi went straight to his own house with Lin Lin; he wanted to take care of her, as Lin Shang had entrusted him with this responsibility.

With Lin Shang abroad handling some assassins for him, if Fang Yi couldn’t even do this much, then he wouldn’t be much of a brother.

"Big brother, here, I found this; it might be useful for you," Lin Lin said, pulling something about the size of a thumb out of her backpack.

Lin Lin hadn’t cried or made a fuss when Fang Yi took her with him, only bringing along a backpack filled with textbooks.

Seeing what Lin Lin handed over to him, Fang Yi’s expression suddenly darkened.

It was a USB drive.

"Lin Lin, you..."

"I found it by the river," Lin Lin said. "You don’t have to hide it from me. Even if you don’t tell me, I can guess what happened by the river. I thought this thing might be useful to you, so I gave it to you."

So mature.

This Lin Lin was unnaturally mature.

"Are you hungry?" Fang Yi asked.

Lin Lin touched her stomach. "A little."

Fang Yi was in high spirits. "What do you want to eat?"

Without hesitating, Lin Lin said, "A feast."

Then Fang Yi took Lin Lin out for a grand meal. After they had eaten their fill, he took her back.

Fang Yi didn’t have time to take care of Lin Lin himself, so he entrusted her to Xia Ziqi. Firstly, Xia Ziqi had free time during the day to help look after Lin Lin, and secondly, Lin Lin’s genius could assist Cai Cai with her schoolwork. It was killing two birds with one stone.

As for Xia Ziqi, although she was initially surprised, she agreed. Fang Yi didn’t realize that his relationship with Xia Ziqi seemed to have no barriers, as comfortable as if they were family.

Later, Fang Yi returned to his room and turned on his laptop, plugging in the USB drive.

The contents of the USB made Fang Yi ecstatic.

To be precise, the items in the drive were some accounts. But the titles of these accounts, if revealed, could shock many people and could cause the entire financial market to experience significant turbulence.

"It seems my guess was right, it’s indeed infighting..."

Fang Yi’s eyes flashed with a bright light. He had been hesitant to act, fearing that he might hurt Yao Tong and those girls, but now with this thing in hand, Fang Yi was no longer afraid.

After browsing through all the data on the USB drive and silently memorizing it, Fang Yi made a phone call to Li Xue, asking her to receive the information.

...

The next day, a piece of news spread among the upper echelons of Moon City: the boss of Sky Blue KTV, Hong Cheng, had been arrested.

In the eyes of most people, Hong Cheng might just seem like a nouveau riche, but those who knew the details were aware that Hong Cheng was one of Song Haoyue’s men; once Hong Cheng was compromised, it signified opposition to Song Haoyue.

Song Haoyue, ah, one of the former "Four Young Masters" of Moon City, this terrifying figure had someone daring to oppose him.

As a result, many began to pay closer attention to this matter.

On the second day, when Fang Yi arrived at the company, he was immediately called into Shen Binan’s office.

"Did you really make a move on that Hong Cheng?" was Shen Binan’s abrupt accusation, her expression somewhat icy, as if she was annoyed by his recklessness.

"Why shouldn’t I?" Fang Yi replied with a smile.

Shen Binan coldly said, "By making a move on Hong Cheng, you’re essentially opposing Song Haoyue! You must have heard of who Song Haoyue is."

Fang Yi nodded, his demeanor nonchalant.

Shen Binan grew angry, her jade hand slamming down on the desk fiercely, "Knowing this, why would you still do it! I am no longer under threat, and there’s no need for you to make enemies. Can’t you just stay out of trouble?"

Fang Yi was silent, thinking of the crying Yao Tong and her heartbroken appearance. He sighed and said, "I can’t stay out of trouble; I have to get involved in this matter."

Shen Binan asked, "Then tell me, what exactly is going on?"

Fang Yi shook his head, "It’s better for you not to get involved."

Shen Binan stared at Fang Yi for a few silent seconds, then walked from behind her office desk, pointing towards the door, "If you don’t tell me, then leave and don’t come back."

"Why get angry? As long as you don’t get involved in this matter, it won’t affect you or Longtu Group," said Fang Yi lightly.

"Are you going to tell me, or not?" Shen Binan’s face was stern.

The atmosphere in the office was very quiet. Fang Yi didn’t look into Shen Binan’s eyes, sensing that she wasn’t angry with him, but angry that he wouldn’t share what was happening with her.

"I’ll come back to see you when I have time," Fang Yi said, and finally turned resolutely to leave.

Shen Binan stood there, stunned, silent for a long time.

That day, a message spread from Longtu Group: Fang Yi had left the company.

...

"Stop right there!" As Fang Yi approached the elevator, Ding Miaoyan’s sharp rebuke came from behind.

Fang Yi, with his back to her, said nothing, shook his head, and entered the elevator.

When Fang Yi reached the ground floor, Huo Xiaoxuan had followed him down. She was huffing angrily, her cheeks flushed red, "You... you... bastard..."

"Are you here to say goodbye?" he asked.

"Yes, I’ve never seen a girl say goodbye to a guy first before," Huo Xiaoxuan said with a mix of complaint and sentiment.

"Thank you," Fang Yi replied with a smile.

After saying goodbye to Huo Xiaoxuan, Fang Yi left the company. To his surprise, as he was pushing his bike past a stretch of greenery, Zhou Peilan appeared there.

Fang Yi walked over with his bike, a smile on his face, "Are you also here to say goodbye?"

Zhou Peilan, however, shook her head, "I’m not here to say goodbye, I’m here to confess to you."
