After Mad Dragon was released from prison, I shocked the world!

Lin Li frowned as he looked at the woman blocking his way. The receptionist at the Lin Group used to be very image-conscious, but she would never be so snobbish.

It seems that the atmosphere here has become chaotic and corrupt since the Wang family took over!

"Who's in charge here now? My surname is Lin. Have the person in charge come to see me, or I can go see him!"

Surname Lin?

The receptionist frowned at Lin Li, then suddenly remembered something, her expression changed, and she turned to leave.

Just then, the revolving door in the hall started turning again.

A group of men in suits escorted a young man as he walked in.

The young man was about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, wearing a flashy pink suit and sporting pink curly hair.

"Young Master Che! You look so handsome today!"

"Che Shao, you absolutely must join us for tonight's gathering!"

Che Wei, son of Che Dongqi, is related to the Wang family by marriage.

When Lin Li got into trouble, it was Che Dongqi who was behind it all, which led to Lin Li being severely sentenced and sent to Black Dragon Prison!

When Che Wei saw that the receptionist was not there, he was about to start yelling when he noticed Lin Li, who was being held back.

That face...

Although he's a bit thinner than he was three years ago, and his features are more defined, he's definitely not mistaken!

"Oh?"

Che Wei pushed aside the people around him and walked up to Lin Li with a surprised look: "Isn't this the eldest young master of the Lin family?"

Upon hearing this, all the employees stopped in their tracks and looked over with curiosity.

"The eldest son of the Lin family? Who is that?"

"I don't recognize you. You're dressed so shabbily..."

"Shh! That's Lin Li, the former young master of the Lin Group! I heard he went to jail three years ago for rape!"

"Huh? That rapist? What's he doing out here?"

Countless gazes, filled with disdain, curiosity, and schadenfreude, fell upon Lin Li.

Hearing those words, Che Wei scoffed and looked at Lin Li, saying, "Tsk tsk tsk! Young Master Lin, you've just been released from jail, haven't you?"

"Why aren't you staying in your doghouse? What are you doing here at Zhiyuan Group?"

He sized Lin Li up and down, his outfit costing no more than a hundred yuan in total, and grinned from ear to ear: "Let me guess... are you here to beg?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

People around started laughing.

The bespectacled man who had been closely following Che Wei laughed even more exaggeratedly, echoing, "Young Master Che, you're right! This rapist must be broke and has come out to beg!"

Che Wei became even more smug and pulled out several red hundred-yuan bills, waving them in front of Lin Li.

"Lin Li, considering we've known each other before, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give you a few hundred dollars."

"Go buy yourself some decent clothes. Don't stand here making a fool of yourself and damaging our company's image!"

As he spoke, he loosened his grip, and the few banknotes fluttered down to Lin Li's feet.

"Pick it up! Pick it up quickly!"

Che Wei tapped the money on the ground with his toe, looking at Lin Li with a mocking expression: "What? You think it's too little? This is more money than a convict like you can earn in a month!"

The atmosphere in the hall became somewhat eerie.

No one spoke again; everyone was watching the man who had remained silent.

Some people sympathized, some were disdainful, and most were just waiting to see what would happen.

"Are you done talking?"

Lin Li looked at Che Wei with a half-smile and said, "I'm not here to beg for food, I'm here to collect debts!"

"We'll collect Wang Sheng's debts, we'll collect Che Dongqi's debts, and we'll collect yours too!"

This statement caused an uproar in the room.

Collecting debts?

A recently released convict went to the headquarters of Zhiyuan Group, saying he wanted to collect a debt.

This is insane!

Che Wei's face instantly turned gloomy.

"Lin Li! You're really asking for it, aren't you?!"

He pointed at Lin Li's nose and yelled, "I offered you money and you refused, you're just asking for death! Collecting debts? Who do you think you are! This place is no longer your Lin family's territory!"

"Now the surname here belongs to Wang! It belongs to Che! But it doesn't belong to Lin!"

After saying that, Che Wei slapped Lin Li hard across the face!

He wanted to show Lin Li who was in charge in Jiangcheng now!

Many female employees around were so frightened that they covered their eyes, unable to bear to look at Lin Li's miserable state.

however--

"Smack!!!"

It wasn't Lin Li who got knocked away, but Che Wei, the one in the pink suit!

Che Wei spun halfway through the air before crashing heavily onto the marble floor, sliding several meters before coming to a stop.

"puff!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood, mixed with two back molars, and the left side of his face swelled up rapidly, squeezing his eye into a slit.

Everyone was stunned.

What just happened?

That convict actually slapped Che Shao so hard he sent him flying!

"Your breath stinks, let me help you wake up."

Lin Li stepped on the few hundred-yuan bills and said with a smile.

"Aaaaaahh ...

Only then did Che Wei, lying on the ground, realize what was happening. "My teeth! My face! Ouch! It hurts so much!"

He rolled on the ground, clutching his face, glaring venomously at Lin Li, and roared, "You dare hit me! You damned convict, you dare hit me!"

"Security! Where are the security guards?! Where have they gone?!"

"Kill him! I'll take responsibility if anything happens! Break his arms and legs!"

No one dared to move; everyone was watching Lin Li, afraid that they would be the next ones to be slapped away.

"What are you doing! What are you all doing?!"

A rough, angry roar suddenly rang out.

A burly middle-aged man in a security guard uniform rushed over with a dozen security guards wielding rubber batons.

"Zhou Qiang! You've finally arrived!"

As soon as the bespectacled man saw the security captain, he screamed, "Quick! Grab this lunatic! He hit Che Shao! He even knocked out Che Shao's teeth!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qiang's heart skipped a beat.

Che Shao got beaten up at his own company? This is outrageous! This is a serious security incident; he, the team leader, could be fired!

"Young Master Che! Are you alright?"

He rushed over to help Che Wei up.

"Get out of here!"

Che Wei shoved Zhou Qiang aside, pointed at Lin Li, and roared through gritted teeth, "Zhou Qiang! Are you blind?! Didn't you see that bastard over there?!"

"Cripple him! Now! Immediately! Right now!"

Zhou Qiang was thoroughly scolded but didn't dare to talk back. He turned around and glared fiercely at the troublemaker.

"Who's the fool who dares to cause trouble at Zhiyuan Group? They're asking for it..."

He raised his rubber baton while cursing, but when he saw the troublemaker's face, he swallowed his words.

"Young...Young Mr. Lin?!"

Lin Li looked at the man in front of him and said calmly, "Zhou Qiang, long time no see."

"It's been three years, and you've done quite well. You've even become a security captain."

Zhou Qiang twitched his hand; of course he recognized Lin Li.

Back when the Lin Group was still in existence, he was just a lowly security guard.

Once, his mother was seriously ill and urgently needed surgery, but he couldn't afford it and cried in the stairwell.

Lin Li, who happened to be passing by, found out the situation and directly had the finance department approve 200,000 yuan for him. He also helped him contact the doctor who would perform the surgery.

It can be said that Lin Li saved his mother's life.
