Chapter 63: Wu Youhai Visits and Takes Lin Wentong Back?!

Huaxia, Dongshan City, Tazhai.

Uncle Dong narrowed his eyes, looking at the silk banner presented by the police in Lin Wendong's hands.

"Law-abiding good citizen, a righteous hero punishing the wicked!"

Looking at these two lines of text, Lin Yaodong's mouth twitched.

Law-abiding? What a fine display of being law-abiding and punishing the wicked!

Lin Wendong put away the silk banner without a blush or a skipped heartbeat, and let out a soft sigh:

"How did Zhang Youqian's money turn out to belong to that boss of the Niu Er compound in the Golden Triangle?"

He had previously told Li Youtian that there were overseas terrorist forces behind Zhang Youqian.

However!

That was merely to scare Li Youtian.

Never did he expect that those words would now come true. Although Zhang Youqian had gone inside, but... the compound boss from the Golden Triangle had sent people to track them down!

"Zhang Youqian's money belongs to their boss, their boss lent the money to Zhang Youqian, and Zhang Youqian lent the money to us. Now, we have to return the money to their boss!"

Lin Wendong almost got tangled up in the logic, spending a tremendous amount of effort to sort out the relationship among them.

"Screw them!"

In the end, Lin Wendong curled his lips in utter indifference.

Compound boss, warlord—who cares?

Zhang Youqian is already locked up, and they still expect us to pay back the money?!

If we had any intention of returning the money, Zhang Youqian wouldn't have ended up in prison in the first place!

Lin Wendong shook his head and stopped dwelling on these matters.

Aside from the affairs of the "hardware factory," his current focus was entirely on figuring out how to sell alum abroad.

Take Eagle Country, for instance; they in Tazhai had no connections there. Being completely unfamiliar with the place, relying solely on themselves would be like standing alone against a gale—it simply wouldn't work.

----------------------------------------

Therefore, according to Lin Wendong's train of thought, to sell alum in Eagle Country, one must find a local drug lord with influence and prestige.

By exploiting the trust of the customers he had accumulated in the past, he could pull off a massive job!

A one-off deal. If things went well, making a hundred million US dollars in a single stroke would be completely unproblematic!

The more Lin Wendong thought about it, the more viable this plan seemed.

However...

The difficulty was also overwhelmingly astronomical!

He had to find a drug lord with immense prestige in the Eagle Country crystal market, and this drug lord had to be in urgent need of money, driven to the point of desperation, so that they would be willing to cooperate with them in this one-time deal!

The world was so vast.

Where on earth was Lin Wendong supposed to find such a person?

"Sigh, giving foreign friends a tiny taste of Eastern shock is probably not going to work out in the short term."

Fraud? Breaking the law?

Lin Wendong didn't think that way at all!

How much damage did smoking crystal do to the body? Those addicts were already tortured to the point of being unrecognizable; selling them alum was actually helping them escape a sea of suffering.

Lin Wendong rubbed his nose and thought to himself: "I am doing this to help those addicts kick their habit. Once they understand my painstaking efforts, they will surely thank me."

----------------------------------------

"Achoo!"

In Eagle Country, stationed in Florida, Li Bathen suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if someone were staring right at him.

"Strange?"

He shook his head, pushing the thought aside as Niu Youde's voice continued to come through the phone:

"Boss, I entrusted the Xia family to recover those thirty million, but they demanded a condition of eight million!"

"That's nearly a third!"

"This..." Li Bathen frowned. If Niu Youde's thirty million required an eight-million-dollar cut, then for his own hundred-plus million, hiring those people would mean handing over tens of millions right off the bat?!

"Those people in the Xia family are truly cutthroat!"

Li Bathen felt that Niu Youde's situation was far better than his own.

He was close in proximity to Huaxia! He could even smuggle his subordinates directly into Huaxia, right into that village.

And what about himself?

With an ocean separating the two sides, getting that money back was truly harder than ascending to the heavens!

"Damn it! If this money can't be recovered, am I really just going to have to run away like this? I am not reconciled!"

Thinking about how, after striving for so many years, he would end up leaving in such a pathetic manner, Li Bathen felt a deep sense of unwillingness!

----------------------------------------

Dongshan City, Tazhai.

The sun set, and the sky grew dark.

Just as Lin Wendong was about to leave the village committee office to return home, two police cars suddenly drove into Tazhai and parked in the square in front of the committee building.

From one of the cars stepped Wu Youhai, dressed in a police uniform.

"Director Wu?" Although he didn't know why Wu Youhai had come, Lin Wendong still walked over warmly to greet him.

Wu Youhai looked at Lin Wendong, his gaze drawn to the silk banner held in his hand.

"Law-abiding? Punishing the wicked?"

Seeing these four words, Wu Youhai's mouth twitched.

"Which blind fool sent this?"

"Director Wu, what brings you to our Tazhai so late at night?" Lin Wendong asked.

Wu Youhai narrowed his eyes and said, "I have a little matter to discuss with you. Come with us!"

"Ah? Me?!" Lin Wendong was stunned.

"Director Wu, I am a law-abiding model citizen!" Lin Wendong raised the silk banner in his hand:

"This banner was just presented to me by you police officers. It's officially certified!"

At this hour, people had just finished dinner, and the villagers were all free with nothing to do.

The Tazhai villagers in the square all gathered around.

Hearing that the police intended to take Lin Wendong away, they instantly grew displeased one by one!

"Officer, what do you mean by this? You want to take Wendong away?"

"Wendong is a child I watched grow up; he's been honest since he was little. You can't wrong a good person!"

"..."

The villagers chimed in all at once, making Lin Wendong feel somewhat embarrassed.

Wu Youhai's brow instantly darkened. Honest?

That word could apply to anyone except this kid!

"You've misunderstood. We aren't taking him back for questioning." Wu Youhai let out a helpless sigh, explaining to both the villagers and Lin Wendong:

"There is simply a matter we'd like to discuss with him."
