The fish blood on the cutting board snaked out claw-like marks.

Lin Jianshen stood still, his expression showing no sign of panic.

He is a hard-working person; he studies everything diligently.

That's why he was able to become an excellent actor.

The mask on his face, composed of 44 muscles, was as solid as if cast in steel, remaining completely still.

He said, "If anyone dares to betray us, we must throw them into the sea in quick-drying cement."

"Of course, before that, we should give him a proper welcome."

"I think the smoke torture is pretty good." Lin Jianshen clenched his fist. "Of course, my fists are pretty good too."

A gentleman hides his weapon in his body and moves when he waits for time.

Therefore, Jiang Ziya fished with a straight hook, and King Wen of Zhou took the bait willingly, thus establishing the Zhou Dynasty's eight-hundred-year foundation.

Zhuge Liang lived in seclusion in Longzhong, and Liu Bei visited him three times, thus establishing the tripartite division of the world.

Lin Jianshen is no match for Jiang Ziya or Zhuge Liang.

But he would never passively wait for fate to arrive.

He had simulated this situation countless times in his mind.

How will Sun Hao test him? How will Sun Jian test him?

He made contingency plans for each one.

And in front of the mirror, she practiced again and again what kind of expression she should make and what kind of words she should say in different situations.

In the past, Lin Jianshen would never have been able to do this.

But things are different now; he values ​​his life.

He didn't want to die, and he couldn't die.

Sun Hao stared at him, but couldn't find a single flaw in his face.

His supplier had made that request.

Before anyone can get involved in core business, they have to pass several hurdles.

He initially thought it was making a mountain out of a molehill, but one time, an undercover agent was actually identified.

Before this, he had always thought that his younger brother was loyal.

It was only later that I learned that those few incidents that gained his trust were all staged for him by the police.

Sun Hao sneered, "Stop pretending, I already know you've sided with the police."

"Do you think that if I had solid evidence, I would have dealt with you directly instead of testing you like this?"

It seemed that Lin Jianshen only realized at this moment that the "undercover agent" referred to himself.

His face was filled with disbelief: "Uncle Hao, I've been following you since I was a teenager, with Ah Jian. It's been ten years!"

"You suspect I'm an undercover agent?"

Sun Hao slammed the knife onto the chopping board: "The only reason I'm still talking to you nicely is because of all these years, to give you a chance to avoid physical pain."

"Tell me who usually contacts you, and I'll give you a straight answer."

Lin Jianshen's face was filled with anger: "Even if I haven't made any great contributions over the years, I have certainly worked hard."

His chest heaved violently, his face flushed red: "Let's not even talk about the debts we collected before. Don't you all know how much business I did on the cruise ship?"

"I'm an undercover agent? Are you fucking blind?"

Sun Hao waved his hand, and several of his underlings stepped forward and restrained Lin Jianshen.

One of the henchmen stepped forward and took the fishy-smelling knife from Sun Hao's hand.

A few fish scales were still stuck to the blade.

Sun Hao said, "If you don't confess, I'll take away a finger every time I ask you."

Lin Jianshen's heart wavered for a moment.

The play has already gone this far, why continue to test each other?

Did Sun Hao really have some evidence?

But then he thought about it again. He wasn't part of the system, and he rarely contacted Officer Ma.

No matter how powerful Sun Hao and the Xia family are, they have no way of finding evidence.

He struggled to his feet, veins bulging in his neck: "I must have been blind! I've risked my life for you all these years!"

The younger men held him down even tighter, pushing his hands toward the chopping board.

One of them casually shoved aside the dead fish and pressed Lin Jianshen's thumb onto the blood-stained cutting board.

Sun Hao looked down at the severed finger: "A severed thumb is considered a serious injury under the law."

Because the thumb is the core of the hand's grasping function, the main force for fine motor skills, and the key to strength support.

This single finger accounts for about 50% of the function of the entire hand.

"Don't worry, I'm a reasonable person, I'll compensate you."

"But I don't think you want to cripple yourself. If you tell the truth, you can keep this finger."

Lin Jianshen roared, "I don't know anything—what the hell are you talking about!"

"You didn't even investigate properly before taking action? If your men lose faith in you, who will want to work for you anymore?"

Sun Hao sneered, "You won't listen to reason, so here comes the punishment. Make your move."

The henchman with the knife nodded and slowly raised it.

If that knife really strikes, that hand will be ruined.

Lin Jianshen still didn't say anything.

"Thump!" The knife slammed onto the cutting board.

Lin Jianshen sighed with relief.

Sun Hao waved his hand, and his underlings retreated like a tide.

He also breathed a sigh of relief and washed his hands in the Shuangxing sink next to him: "Sorry, Xiao Lin, you are A-Jian's brother, his right-hand man."

"I need to make sure you're not an undercover agent before I feel comfortable letting you do this for him."

"Core business is very important, both to us and to the people above us."

Lin Jianshen snorted coldly, his face turning ashen.

That's a normal reaction. No one would be happy to go through such a test.

Sun Hao wiped his hands with a disposable towel and subtly gestured towards Sun Jian with his lip.

Sun Jian sighed and said, "Dad, what you did was really dishonest."

"I almost fell for your trick and really thought Biaozi was an undercover agent."

Sun Hao sighed: "You're right. I'm getting old and timid."

"From now on, it will be the era of you young people."

His tone carried a promise: "Work hard, and once Ah Jian has mastered the business, I'll hand over my position to him so he can retire comfortably. You can take charge of the cruise ships directly, how about that?"

Lin Jianshen's expression softened a bit, but he still muttered, "It's not that I'm giving you a hard time, Uncle Hao, it's just that anyone would feel uncomfortable in this situation, you understand?"

Sun Jian took out a card: "Brother, there's 200,000 in this card. Take it and spend it."

"Never mind this old man, we brothers will make plenty of money in the future."

Lin Jianshen looked at the card, unsure whether to accept it or not.

Sun Jian handed him the card: "This is compensation for my father's emotional distress. He won't dare say anything. You can use it however you like."

Lin Jianshen then revealed a slight smile.

Sun Jian gave Sun Hao a wink.

"Done."

Sun Hao said, "Take a rest for the next few days and wait for my news."

"In a few days, we'll prepare to set sail."

Sun Jian took Lin Jianshen out and drove him there himself: "Brother, thinking back to those days, we were sitting on a stinky ditch wiping our nosebleeds."

"After so many years of hard work, we're finally going to be successful!"

Lin Jianshen nodded, his face filled with anticipation for the future: "It's still good to be rich."

The car was speeding along.

Xia Tingwan looked at Xia Wenshan's car in front and asked, "What kind of car is that? I've never seen it before."

She is currently riding in a Rolls-Royce.

It was Xia Wenshan's former car. Since he bought the electric car, he had hardly used it until he brought his three illegitimate daughters back.

The driver, gripping the steering wheel of the Rolls-Royce, replied, "This car is called Azure. It's made by Tai'an Group, which is run by Lu Xizhou's wife. It's only available through high-end customization, and it's very rare on the market."

"So it's normal that you haven't seen it before, Miss."

Xia Tingwan asked, "Is there anything special about this car?"

The driver replied, "Bulletproof glass, bulletproof body, civilian version of Nanfeng Smart Driving, YiSifang platform, water-floating body, second-generation blade battery... In short, it's the culmination of electric vehicle technology."

Xia Yunlu wasn't interested in any of that and interjected, "The scenery here is quite nice, with mountains and water."

They are on their way to a dinner party.

At that moment, the car passed by the foot of the mountain, where there was a lake.

The driver explained, "This is an artificial lake that the Zhao family dug."

"I heard it cost a lot of money."

Xia Yunlu asked, "Why go to such great lengths to excavate an artificial lake?"

The driver replied, "I heard that a few years ago, when Lu Xizhou came to the capital, many families invited him to be their guests."

"This man is a fisherman, so the Zhao family dug a lake in advance, hoping he would come to visit."
