I nodded slightly, "Yes."
Lin Mautsai curled his lips, "Ye Commander, do you think I, Lin Mautsai, am a three-year-old child? Do you really think I would believe your words?"
I smiled faintly, "Mr. Lin, of course you don't have to believe me, but..."
Lin Mautsai was taken aback, "But what?"
I said lightly, "But whether you believe it or not, you have to believe it because you have no other choice right now."
Lin Mautsai stared at me for a long time before suddenly laughing, "Alright, Ye Commander, I promise you that I will never engage in smuggling again."
I shook my head, "Mr. Lin, we are both smart people; please don't play such tricks in front of me. A verbal promise has no value. If you really want to wash your hands of this business, you need to take concrete action."
Lin Mautsai was stunned again, "Concrete action? What kind of concrete action?"
I smiled slightly, "Mr. Lin, from now on, all business at Xia Yin Bank must be transparent. We will send people into Xia Yin Bank to inspect your business. If your business is legal, we certainly won't take any action. However, if your business is illegal, then we will have to take measures."
Lin Mautsai sneered, "Ye Commander, your move is really ruthless! You want to drive me, Lin Mautsai, to the edge!"
I shook my head, "Mr. Lin, you've misunderstood. I'm not trying to drive you to the edge; I just want to tell you not to smuggle anymore.
Moreover, even if you stop smuggling, what about all those brothers under you? How will they make a living? How will they support their wives and children? You need to think these issues through."
"If you have thought it through, then let's proceed as I said. If you haven't, I'm sorry, but I can only follow the rules."
"Come in!"
With that, Lin Mautsai instructed the servant to place the gift on the bedside table before turning to leave.
Lin Mautsai rubbed his hands together and chuckled awkwardly, "Ye Commander, I came specifically to apologize to you.
I didn't expect Lu Ming to hide this from me and cause you such trouble. I've already given him a good scolding. Please be magnanimous and let it go this time.
As for your injuries, Xia Yin Bank is willing to cover all expenses, and we have also prepared one hundred thousand taels as your compensation. Please accept it."
Saying this, Lin Mautsai took out a banknote of one hundred thousand taels from his pocket and placed it on the bedside table.
I glanced at the banknote and then at Lin Mautsai, secretly amused. This guy really thinks I'm a fool. He is trying to shift all the blame onto Lu Ming in order to protect him.
There are two reasons why Lin Mautsai wants to protect Lu Ming. First, Lu Ming is his most capable subordinate, managing the entire Xia Yin Bank for him. Sacrificing Lu Ming would be like sacrificing his right-hand man. Second, if he were to hand over Lu Ming, it would be like announcing to the entire Jianghu of Nanjiang that Lin Mautsai is afraid of the Secret Intelligence Bureau; he would never be able to hold his head high in Nanjiang again.
Thinking of this, I replied calmly, "Lin Yuanwai, I think you may have misunderstood. There was just a small misunderstanding between Lu Ming and me; it's not really a big deal. I can't accept such a generous gift from you; please take it back!"
Lin Mautsai chuckled, "Ye Commander, this is just a small token from us at Xia Yin Bank. Please don't be so polite."
