Just at that moment of silence, there was a knock on the door, and a familiar female voice came from outside, "BSS, there's news."
Yuming glanced at Lin and thought it was indeed a good time to show some seriousness. He quickly straightened his face, sat up straight, and said loudly, "Come in!"
At the same time, Fatty and Lin Ye realized the situation and cooperated with Yuming by sitting up straight as well, not wanting to embarrass him.
In front of subordinates, Yuming still had to maintain the demeanor of a leader.
The door was pushed open, and in walked none other than Yan Shan.
"Hey! Isn't this the beautiful Yan Shan? We meet again!"
Fatty couldn't help himself; seeing a familiar face, he whistled playfully, which made Yuming quite embarrassed.
"Fatty Chen, tone it down!"
Yuming whispered sharply in Fatty's ear, wishing he could punch him for flirting with his subordinate in front of their superior. That was simply unacceptable.
Fatty smacked his lips and chuckled quietly, quickly turning his head away as if nothing had happened.
...
However, this scene looked entirely different in Yan Shan's eyes. Her expression was dark and uncertain; although her face remained unchanged, her heart was already in turmoil.
Lin and that Fatty actually had such a close relationship with the director?
Before this moment, Yan Shan had no idea about Lin's true background or what his relationship with Yuming was. This scene forced her to reevaluate her understanding of Lin.
Then Yan Shan began to think about how she would take revenge on Lin...
"Yan Shan, you're good to go! They are not outsiders!"
Seeing that Yan Shan was somewhat unresponsive, Yuming thought she might be afraid of Lin Ta being present and unable to share information.
When Yuming called out "Brother," Yan Shan's heart skipped a beat. She felt like a startled rabbit and quickly tucked away her thoughts.
The matter of retaliating against Lin seemed to require extreme caution!
"Yes! BSS!"
Yan Shan lowered her head, concealing the panic in her eyes, afraid of revealing any signs.
After calming herself slightly, Yan Shan shared the information she had gathered.
According to Yan Shan, aside from Glory Group, there was another significant force attacking Lin—the mercenary group Bloodthirsty Fang.
Bloodthirsty Fang, notorious as a mercenary group, was infamous for doing anything for money, engaging in arson, murder, and pillaging without remorse.
However, this group was small in number and well-organized. The government was reluctant to deploy large forces to capture them, especially since they were skilled at hiding and would change locations after each attack. Thus, they had managed to evade capture for some time and had gained a fearsome reputation.
Mercenary groups like this one, which only recognized money, operated outside the government and the Adventurers' Guild, surviving in the cracks of society but proving remarkably resilient and difficult to eradicate.
The individual Lin killed, Big Baldy, was a member of this organization known as "Three Bites," who held a mid-level position within the group.
For some unknown reason, the bald Three Bites had taken on a solo mission; they usually operated in groups.
Regardless, Lin killing Three Bites meant he had made an enemy of Bloodthirsty Fang. Given their vengeful nature, they would undoubtedly seek retribution to maintain their notorious reputation.
Bloodthirsty Fang was not large in scale; records indicated there were twenty-three members, including leaders with interstellar levels above 40. If they decided to trouble Lin in the future, it would likely be quite difficult for him to handle.
"Have you found any traces of them?"
After hearing this, not only did Lin Zhi frown, but even Yuming began to irritably tap on the table, making it resonate with loud sounds.
"Well, not yet, BSS. You know how they are; they're like mice—very hard to track down."
Yan Shan lowered her head to respond, but her peripheral vision was observing the expressions of the three people.
"This is indeed quite tricky..."
Yuming's tapping on the table grew increasingly rapid, just like Yan Shan had mentioned; dealing with such a cunning mouse was not easy for him either.
Deploying too much family power to eliminate the enemy would be problematic. Regardless of whether Yuming had the capability now, even if he did, it would be a thankless task with no justification, and the family would definitely not agree.
If he relied solely on his own strength, it would be difficult to inflict a devastating blow on the other side. A level 40 boss was enough to deter many.
Lin could also sense Yuming's dilemma. Seeing Yuming in distress, he patted Yuming's shoulder and said, "Don't worry about this matter... I have my own ways!"
It sounded easy when Lin casually mentioned having "ways," but what could he really do? He was just trying to appease Yuming.
Anyway, since things had come to this point, he could only face whatever came his way. Lin Ye comforted himself this way, not allowing himself to think negatively.
"Alright! Brother, let me know if there's anything I can help you with."
Yuming was not being pretentious; if he couldn't do something, he wouldn't force it. This situation also allowed him to gauge Lin's backing. If Lin Zhen fell into the hands of Bloodthirsty Fang, then this collaboration might not need to continue.
"Just send me a copy of the information."
Lin rubbed his nose. He planned to handle everything here before looking into the information on Bloodthirsty Fang.
As long as Bloodthirsty Fang didn't come looking for him, he had no intention of seeking them out. Even if he did find them, how could he deal with such a large group of over twenty people?
After receiving Yan Shan's information, Lin glanced at it briefly and saved it without further examination.
With that, things seemed to come to a close here. With no more matters at hand, Lin Ye waited for Dream Source to be discharged from the hospital and urged Yuming to head back.
Thus, Yuming bid farewell to Lin, and they agreed to contact each other after Lin returned home.
Lin Songyu Ming was naturally unpretentious. After saying goodbye, he left with Fatty.
On the other hand, Yan Shan stared at Lin's back, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction as a smile crept onto her lips.
Lin, it doesn't matter that you offended Bloodthirsty Fang; what matters is that you offended me... Hmph, Bloodthirsty Fang will surely be pleased to receive your detailed information, right?
Under her sinister gaze, the incident involving Bloodthirsty Fang continued to escalate, exuding a rotten smell. It seemed that soon, Lin would face a disaster.
"Yan Shan, what are you looking at? Let's go..."
Noticing that Yan Shan's expression was off, Yuming couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing, nothing at all..."
Yan Shan hurriedly lowered her head.
"Are you interested in him? If that's the case, I can introduce you. But I must warn you, he's not easy to deal with..."
"Bss, you're joking! I have no intention of pursuing romance..."
Yan Shan forced a smile while thinking to herself: I just want Lin to suffer a terrible fate!
The most venomous heart belongs to a woman. Perhaps someone like Yan Shan, who seeks revenge for every slight, must be a bit of a fanatic!
