The second bag of premium tea was down to just half. Su Han realized that since arriving in this era, he had not only developed a habit of drinking tea but had also grown increasingly addicted to it. This was not a good thing; while tea could invigorate the mind, excessive consumption could harm one's health.
Zhang Biao had been dealt with, and Lin Yuan had successfully been rescued. The entire operation could be summed up in one word: swift! It was a quick and decisive action; once the decision was made, there was no hesitation, and execution followed immediately.
“Captain, Lin Yu and the others have returned, and Lin Yuan is with them, requesting to see you,” Wang Wu said as he walked into the tavern.
Su Han nodded. Before long, Lin Yu and Zhao Gang entered, accompanied by Lin Yuan. Upon seeing Su Han, Lin Yuan immediately knelt down without a word.
“Boss Lin, please get up, please get up,” Su Han hurriedly stood up to help Lin Yuan to his feet. “Boss Lin, what is this about?”
“Captain Su, thank you, thank you so much,” Lin Yuan said as he wiped away his tears. “My son has been safely returned home. If it weren't for Captain Su and all the brothers here, I would have truly lost my son…”
“Boss Lin, please sit down and take your time,” Su Han invited him to sit. “First of all, this is a task assigned by Lord Chu Feng, and we will do our utmost. Secondly, I have heard that Boss Lin is a patriotic businessman. In times of national crisis, you generously lend your support; how can such a businessman be bullied by thugs?”
After a pause, Su Han continued, “Boss Lin, there is something you may not yet know. Zhang Biao is dead.”
“What? Dead?” Lin Yuan was greatly shocked.
“Alas,” Su Han sighed deeply. “A few years ago, when the Rebel Army clashed with the bullies, Zhang Biao and Liu Lao San killed many brothers of the Rebel Army. Now that they are seeking revenge, they came for him first…”
Lin Yuan froze for a moment before realizing the implications: “Yes, yes, he was killed by the Rebel Army. The Rebel Army is truly formidable; their power is vast.”
Having navigated the business world for many years, he had seen all kinds of people. With Su Han's words, he understood the situation clearly.
Su Han specifically reminded him: “Although Zhang Biao died at the hands of the Rebel Army, we cannot guarantee that those from the the Zhang Family won’t take their anger out on you. Boss Lin, it would be wise for you to take your family to the capital to avoid any trouble; don’t you have business there?”
“Indeed, my son only suffered some minor injuries; I will set off tomorrow,” Lin Yuan acknowledged. He understood that Linjiang City had become a place fraught with danger.
With Zhang Biao killed by the Rebel Army and Lin Yu having been rescued, suspicion was inevitable. Although they wouldn’t dare trace it back to the Royal Confidential Office directly, merchants like the Lin family could easily find themselves implicated.
Lin Yuan pulled out seven or eight banknotes from his bosom. "Captain Su, here are eight hundred thousand taels of silver. Please accept it."
"Boss Lin, what do you mean by this?"
"Captain Su, please listen to me," Lin Yuan explained. "Previously, to save my son, I gathered eighty thousand taels of silver. This money no longer belongs to me. Now that my son is safe, how can I let my brothers work for nothing? This money is for you; it's better than letting that scoundrel Zhang Biao benefit from it."
Su Han pondered for a moment and selected two banknotes. "Boss Lin, then I will graciously accept this. This one hundred thousand taels is for Lord Chu Feng as a token of your appreciation. The other hundred thousand taels will be given to my brothers as compensation for their hard work. The rest, you should keep for yourself."
"That won't do, that won't do at all."
