Lin Mautsai gritted his teeth and asked, "Ye Commander, are you threatening me?"
I shook my head and replied, "Lin, I'm not threatening you; I'm helping you.
You should know very well that if I really wanted to deal with you, I wouldn't need to go through all this trouble. I could simply capture Lu Ming and put you in a dire situation.
The reason I'm holding back is that I believe there is still a possibility for cooperation between us. I don't want to make our relationship too strained.
Lin, I hope you can cherish this opportunity."
Lin Mautsai fell silent.
After a long while, Lin Mautsai finally asked, "Ye Commander, how much time are you giving me?"
I replied calmly, "Just one hour."
Lin Mautsai was taken aback. "Do you mean…"
I said coldly, "Lin, we both understand each other; there's no need for hidden meanings. I'm giving you one hour to handle your business affairs and destroy any evidence.
After one hour, I will send people to seal off all the casinos, brothels, pawnshops, and businesses under your name. You should know better than I what kind of losses you'll face."
Lin Mautsai stared at me for a moment before slowly nodding. "Alright, then after one hour, I will give Ye Commander a satisfactory response."
After speaking, Lin Mautsai stood up and turned to walk out.
Just as Lin Mautsai reached the door, I said lightly, "Lin, please wait a moment."
Lin Mautsai paused and asked, "Ye Commander, do you have any further instructions?"
I replied calmly, "Lin, the last time I had a conflict with Lu Ming at the dock, I remember there was a bodyguard from your side, the one with a scar on his hand. That person was quite interesting."
Lin Mautsai was taken aback again. "My lord, do you mean…"
I said coldly, "Lin, you are a smart man; some things don't need me to spell them out."
After a moment of silence, Lin Mautsai responded, "Alright, Ye Commander, I understand."
With that, he turned and left.
Once Lin Mautsai was gone, Liu Liu leaned over and asked me, "My lord, are you really planning to let Lin Mautsai go?"
I shook my head. "Liu Liu, I’ve said it before: people like Lin Mautsai cannot be spared; he must die."
Liu Liu was surprised. "My lord, if you want Lin Mautsai dead, then why negotiate with him?"
I smiled slightly. "Liu Liu, let me ask you a question: do you want to be a butcher?"
Liu Liu was momentarily taken aback. "My lord, do you mean..."
I replied calmly, "Liu Liu, if you don't want to be the butcher, then you must learn to let others do the butchering."
Liu Liu fell silent.
I commanded, "Send my orders down. All members of the Shadow Garb Bureau are to mobilize and arrest everyone related to Lin Mautsai, including merchants and individuals. If there is any resistance, they are to be dealt with ruthlessly.
Additionally, inform the county office and the inspection department that we will be borrowing their facilities to detain everyone we capture."
Liu Liu nodded. "Understood, my lord."
Just then, Sister Thirteen walked in.
I looked at Sister Thirteen and smiled. "Thirteen, I have a question for you."
Sister Thirteen was taken aback. "What question?"
I laughed and asked, "Can you make Braised Pork Trotters?"
Sister Thirteen was stunned. "Braised Pork Trotters?"
