I chose one of four options at the start, and I chose the number one clan in Lingnan.

Two rescue boats, towing six safety nets, sailed toward Black Dog Reef.

The area of ​​the reef that is above water is about the size of four basketball courts and is very close to the coastal patrol line.

The crew put life jackets on the forty-six people and left them drinking water and a waterproof distress signal.

Even after being released from the ship, the sea serpent was still using the Wu family to intimidate people.

"Lin Ting, it's easy for you to leave me here, but how things end up is not up to you."

The four major families in the provincial capital dare not touch the Wu family's sea routes. You've seized the ports, and now you want to seize the coastal rules? The Wu family will make you pay.

Lin Dabiao retrieved the hoisting rope.

"Take care of yourself first. The distress signal has been activated, and the coast guard will come to pick you up according to the coordinates. Once you're in the interrogation room, I'll explain the Wu family's rules again."

After the rescue boat left the reef, Lin Dayou reported the number of people, speedboat number, and on-site evidence list to the maritime police.

The ten speedboats were towed back to Pier 6 and handed over to the maritime authorities and coast guard for joint storage.

Lin only kept a complete backup.

At 8 p.m., Lin Fu opened the first equipment retrieval report at the logistics dispatch center.

The sea serpent used the identity of Zhou Hai, and the identification number belonged to a crew member whose registration was cancelled ten years ago. The two characters "Cheng Hai" on the silver badge provided the intelligence team with their first entry point.

Lin Zheng displayed the registration information for ten speedboats on the screen.

"Haichang Aquatic Products Service Cooperative has been established for seven years, but it does not own any fish farms or have a fixed receiving dock."

The service company purchases more than 20,000 tons of fuel annually, but declares less than three million in fish catch revenue.

Its actual investor went through four layers of nominee shareholding, ultimately ending up under the name of the CFO of Shengchao Culture & Entertainment Group.

Lin Fu opened the Shengchao Group's documents.

Shengchao controls 26 clubs, 31 dance halls, and 12 game venues in the provincial capital, and also owns seven performance brokerage companies.

The publicly disclosed shareholders have no direct relationship with the Wu family, but fourteen members of the management team have previously worked for the Wu family's businesses.

Every time Haichang Aquatic Products purchases a speedboat, the payment is advanced by Shengchao.

The fuel, equipment, and personnel costs for this interception operation were transferred from an event company under Shengchao, and the approval account was used by Wu Tianhao's personal assistant.

Lin Zheng retrieved the local backup of the satellite phone.

"This number, marked as 'Young Master,' has contacted Sea Serpent forty-seven times in the past three months."

The phone number was registered under the name of Wu Tianhao's driver. Hai She's mother, Chen Lan, was hospitalized for six years, and all medical expenses were paid from the Wu family's old house account.

The last piece of information comes from the brochure published at the provincial capital's charity gala.

Twelve years ago, Wu Zhenhai, the head of the Wu family, participated in a charity donation, with a fourteen-year-old boy standing next to him.

The boy wore a matching silver medal around his neck, and the album notes identified him as Wu Chenghai, the student receiving assistance.

Lin Fu placed the old picture album and the photo of sea snakes boarding the ship side by side on the screen.

The old injury on the brow bone, the notch in the left ear, and the birthmark on the side of the neck all correspond to the above.

The sea serpent's true identity is Wu Chenghai.

Wu Zhenhai's illegitimate son.

The Wu family doesn't join the Chamber of Commerce in the provincial capital, and they rarely compete for publicly funded projects.

While the Bai family controlled the port, the Zhao family ran underground banks, the Wang family controlled private hospitals, and the Su family monopolized building materials, the Wu family always guarded entertainment venues and coastal smuggling routes.

Nearly half of the province's gray entertainment industry goes through the Wu family's equipment, drinks, performers, and security channels.

Lei Ye and the Sanyi Society also paid venue fees to the Wu family back then.

Although the Wu family was not on the list of the four major families in the provincial capital, their underground income was no less than that of any of them.

After reviewing the financial chart, Lin Ting asked Lin Fu only one question.

"Was Wu Chenghai taking the Golden Fruit job on his own initiative, or did the Wu family officially enter the fray?"

Lin Fu enlarged the fax code for Hailian Port.

"Hai Lian handed over the fleet information to Wu Tianhao, who then allocated funds from Shengchao, and Wu Chenghai was responsible for maritime operations."

Whether Wu Zhenhai approved it or not, the existing materials cannot be attributed to him. Wu Tianhao wanted to suppress the Lin family on behalf of the Far East Shipping Alliance, and also wanted to use this matter to take over the Wu family's maritime route.

Lin Ting took the six photos.

The first picture shows Wu Chenghai boarding the Golden Fruit Boat; the second picture shows ten speedboats entangled in the rolling river net; the third picture shows forty-six people trapped in the safety net.

The fourth image shows Wu Chenghai hanging under the mast; the fifth image shows the fax number of Hailian Port; and the sixth image shows the payment slip from Shengchao Events Company.

Lin Ting had someone find an ordinary cardboard box and put the photos, a copy of the silver medal, and the Haichang Aquatic Products registration form inside.

There was only one piece of paper left in the box.

"The Wu family must explain the financial relationship between Haichang Aquatic Products and Shengchao Group by midnight tonight. Otherwise, the materials will be submitted to the Coast Guard, Tax Bureau, Culture and Tourism Bureau, Economic Investigation Bureau, and Foreign Exchange Administration Bureau respectively."

Lin Fu sealed the cardboard box and handed it over to Lin's Logistics' same-city express line.

An hour later, the delivery truck stopped outside the Wu family's old house in the western suburbs of the provincial capital.

The security guard checked the cardboard box and found no dangerous items. The Wu family's housekeeper, seeing that the recipient was Wu Zhenhai, delivered the box to the restaurant.

The Wu family's monthly family banquet is still ongoing.

More than twenty members of the Wu family sat on either side of the long table. Wu Zhenhai sat in the middle, and Wu Tianhao sat in the first seat on the right.

The housekeeper placed the cardboard box on the dining table.

"Sir, an urgent package has arrived from Lin's Logistics. The sender is listed as Lin Ting, and they request that you open it personally."

Wu Zhenhai opened the cardboard box.

The first photo showed Wu Chenghai encased in a safety net, hanging from the mast of the Lin family's cargo ship. Several elders of the Wu family recognized him and put down their chopsticks.

Wu Tianhao snatched the rest of the photos, and when he saw Shengchao's payment slip, his temples began to twitch.

He helped Hailian Port Affairs, and his original plan was to only hold onto the golden fruit and then force the Lin family to exchange it for the Donghai Bay project.

Before setting sail, Wu Chenghai assured him that none of the crew members from Wangjia Village would dare to resist.

All ten speedboats were seized.

Wu Chenghai was also taken to the Coast Guard interrogation room.

Wu Zhenhai looked through the photos one by one, then pointed at Wu Tianhao.

"Shut down Haichang Aquatic Products tonight and hand over the accounts for the ten ships to the lawyer. Shengchao will return the money to Hailian and compensate the Lin family for the loss of their golden fruit. The Wu family will not touch the Donghai Bay project; this matter ends here."

Wu Tianhao pressed the photo onto the table.

"Lin Ting hung Cheng Hai on the mast and then sent the photos to the family banquet. He was clearly trying to humiliate the Wu family. Today they're refunding the money and shutting down the ship, tomorrow all the entertainment venues in the province will be laughing at the Wu family."

Wu Zhenhai tapped the table leg with his cane.

"The Bai family, the Wang family, the Zhao family, and the Su family have all taken turns overpowering the Lin family. Which family has come out on top?"

Lin Ting was able to complete the approval process for a hundred ships ahead of schedule, and he could also trace the Wu family through Sheng Chao's accounts. If you continue with your actions, think carefully about who will clean up the mess for you.

Wu Tianhao did not heed the advice.

Half an hour ago, his informant, whom he had planted in the South District Logistics Park, sent him a message.

A large number of Lin's trucks have left the park, and only a dozen or so guards remain at the guard post at night. The external lighting in the warehouse area is also under maintenance.

As soon as the Lin family fleet set sail, most of the main force of the Chung Tung fleet was transferred to Pier No. 6.

The South District Logistics Park has become an empty shell.

On the other side, Lin Dabiao had already divided the 300 registered security guards into six groups and hidden them in the mezzanine of the logistics park warehouse and the vehicle repair area.

Lin Fu voluntarily removed the two fixed posts on the perimeter and even sent the night truck dispatch schedule to the bribed outsourced supervisor.

Inside the No. 3 underground cold storage room of the logistics park, twelve sets of independent temperature control cabinets are in operation.

The cabinet contains Lin's newly cultivated high-end seeds, and fireproof isolation doors have been installed at all entrances and exits.

Lin Ting sat in the monitoring room, fiddling with walnuts, looking at the empty roads in the park.

Inside the Wu family restaurant, Wu Tianhao grabbed his car keys and swiped the photos into a cardboard box.

"You may be afraid of Lin Ting, but I am not. Tonight, I will take two hundred men to the South District Logistics Park and burn down Lin's warehouse."

"I'd like to see how he'll support that fleet without land transport!"
