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

The lead truck drove onto the West Ring Road, followed by heavy trucks in double rows.

Wu Tianhao was secured to the front inspection platform of the vehicle, and the vehicle speed was controlled to be within 30 kilometers per hour.

Several venues along the route were still lit up, and people at the entrances retreated back into the lobby when they saw the convoy's number.

At 2 a.m., the Wu family's old residence received the news.

Wu Zhenhai did not leave. He instructed his butler to recall the family lawyer, accountant, and several business owners, and also gathered 120 security guards for the mansion in the front yard.

The century-old carved gate was completely locked, and four SUVs were parked behind it.

Wu Zhenye, the third son of the Wu family, stood on the steps, holding a phone in his hand.

"Brother, the Lin family drove their convoy to the old house, clearly intending to force the Wu family to submit."

There are still men inside the compound, and over two hundred more can be transferred from the three venues in the west of the city. As long as the gates are held, Lin Ting will have to sit down and negotiate terms.

Wu Zhenhai tapped the floor tiles with his cane.

"Tianhao brought two hundred people into the logistics park, along with oil drums. If there's a complete record of the scene, whoever struck first will be held responsible. If you call people now, you'll only be sending Lin Ting another batch of materials."

Wu Zhenye did not put the phone away.

The Wu family had been operating a smuggling network along the coast for many years, and also owned nearly half of the entertainment venues in the provincial capital. He didn't believe that a clan could swallow up this network overnight.

At 2:16 PM, the Lin family's motorcade stopped outside the old house.

The Mercedes G-Class passed the car in front and stopped sideways in front of the gate. Lin Ting sat on the hood, fiddling with a walnut in his hand.

Lin Fu, Lin Dabiao, and three lawyers stood beside the car, while sixty heavy trucks behind them turned on their work lights.

The Wu family's butler called out from across the gate.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Wu has agreed to close Haichang Aquatic Products and is willing to bear the losses of the golden fruit."

You tied Wu Tianhao to the hood of the car and surrounded his private residence with heavy trucks; your actions have crossed the line for negotiation. Please release him first, and the Wu family's lawyers will handle the remaining issues.

Lin Fu held up the file bag.

"There are twelve records of Wu Tianhao's attack on the logistics park, including instructions for Shengchao's payment, oil drum purchases, personnel mobilization, and cold storage sabotage."

If the Wu family wants to talk, please open the door. If it doesn't open in three minutes, the Lin family will proceed to the next step of the property recovery plan.

Wu Zhenye stood behind the door, signaling to the security guards to hold the door panel in place.

It takes three minutes to walk through.

Lin Dayou boarded the second heavy truck, and the vehicle moved forward at a low speed.

The front bumper was pressed against the middle of the carved gate, and the parking devices of the four SUVs were tightened by the Wu family members.

Heavy trucks continue to increase their power.

The two door hinges broke one after the other, and the carved wooden door, along with its inner steel frame, tilted into the courtyard.

Four SUVs were pushed across the stone path in the front yard, and the entire gate was pushed into the flower bed in front of the screen wall. The Lin family's vehicles were parked outside the threshold and did not enter the inner courtyard of the residence.

Wu Jia's security guards were originally stationed at the gate, but after the gate collapsed, no one came forward.

Lin Ting was still sitting on the hood of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

"Wu Zhenhai, time's up. Bring out the industry documents."

Wu Zhenhai walked across the front yard, his cane stopping beside the fallen door panel.

"Tianhao made a mistake, I can hand him over and provide compensation. Haichang Aquatic Products' ten boats, the funds allocated by Shengchao, plus 100 million yuan in cash, are enough to cover the Lin family's losses. The Wu family's business has been operating for thirty years, so I cannot hand it over to you."

Lin Fu spread the first set of materials out on the front of the car.

"Fourteen managers of Shengchao Group came from the Wu family's businesses, and Haichang Aquatic Products' fuel purchase volume did not match the fish catch declaration."

Wu Tianhao's personal assistant approved the funds for the operation, and Wu Chenghai's medical and living expenses were paid from the Wu family's old house account.

After midnight, the materials had been delivered to the Coast Guard, Tax Bureau, Culture and Tourism Bureau, Economic Investigation Bureau, and Foreign Exchange Management Bureau.

After listening, Wu Zhenye picked up the phone and contacted the venue in the west of the city.

The first number went unanswered. When the second number was answered, the manager only said two sentences.

"Mr. Wu, the joint inspection team from the cultural tourism and fire departments has arrived. The financial computers and membership recharge records have been sealed. Employees are registering unpaid wages, and no one wants to come to the old house."

The third call came from Shengchao's finance manager.

"The group's three settlement accounts have been frozen by the bank, and the payment collection points of 26 clubhouses have been closed."

The employee petition fell into the hands of the inspection team, which contained records of forced contributions, confiscation of identification documents, and unpaid wages.

Wu Zhenye wanted to transfer people from the sea route, but the duty officer at Haichang Aquatic Products told him that the ten speedboats had been jointly sealed off and the service center's warehouse was taking inventory.

The number of people in the Wu family's front yard did not decrease, but the industrial network was disrupted by a series of phone calls.

Wu Tianhao was lowered from the front platform of the vehicle by security personnel.

He slumped down on the threshold and shouted at Wu Zhenhai, "Dad, we can't sign! If we hand over the venue, the Wu family will lose all of its income from the past thirty years."

Shengchao also has companies in other cities; we can transfer the funds there and stall the Lin family for another six months.

Wu Zhenhai raised his hand and slapped him.

"You can't even tell if there's an ambush in a logistics park, yet you want to protect the Wu family's business for thirty years."

The out-of-town company's guarantees are all tied up in properties in the provincial capital. If the account is frozen, the creditors will be knocking on our door tomorrow morning.

Lin Fu handed the second stack of documents to Wu's lawyer.

The Wu family's legal assets are divided into three parts: seventeen self-owned commercial properties, equity in twenty-six clubhouses, and leasehold operating rights to thirty-one dance halls.

The list also includes equipment from twelve game venues, six warehouse parking lots, and Shengchao Performance Agency.

Underground gambling dens and unregistered projects are not allowed to enter into transactions, and related equipment is handed over to the relevant authorities for handling.

Employee back wages, taxes, medical compensation, and Lin's cargo damages will be deducted from the appraised value.

The remaining funds were deposited into an escrow account to repay the Wu family's legitimate debts.

After reviewing the terms, Wu's lawyer reported to Wu Zhenhai in a low voice.

"The asset valuation has a third-party report, and the deduction items also have an access point for review."

If the signing is refused, the suspension of Shengchao's account will trigger cross-default. The bank has the right to dispose of all mortgaged properties, and the Wu family will lose even the remaining funds.

Wu Zhenhai looked at Lin Ting.

"Are you taking over these venues to continue doing business with the Wu family?"

Lin Ting put the walnut into his palm.

"The Lin family does not run underground businesses. The property has been converted into an employee welfare center, a discount store, and a technical school training site."

Employees with no criminal record receive training, and those who wish to stay sign formal contracts. The Wu family has profited from the premises for thirty years; the Lin family uses these buildings to save money for their workers.

Wu Zhenhai stood in front of the collapsed gate, remaining silent for a long time.

The accountant brought in six file boxes. The lawyer verified each document, including the company seal, property certificate, lease agreement, and debt attachments.

At 4:35 a.m., the first equity transfer document was placed on the folding table.

Lin Ting sat on the hood of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, watching Wu Zhenhai sign his name.

The second document is the transfer agreement for seventeen commercial properties, the third document is the handover document for the operating rights of Shengchao Group, and the fourth document is the supervision agreement for unpaid wages and compensation for employees.

After Wu Zhenhai signed each document, the butler would affix the company seal next to him. Wu Tianhao knelt at the bottom of the steps, trying to speak several times, but was held down by the elders of the Wu family.

At five o'clock in the morning, Lin Dayou led the construction workers into the front yard, only marking the purpose of the renovation on the commercial asset list.

The former Shengchao Palace was converted into Lin's Discount Supermarket, and the Chengxi Clubhouse was converted into the Port Workers Service Center.

Twelve game venues were converted into vocational school training classrooms and youth activity centers.

At the same time, Lin Fu received four disposal receipts.

The Zhao family's underground vault has been sealed, and the recovery process for the fourteen related accounts has begun.

Thirty-seven material companies owned by the Su family are under joint investigation for issues related to issuing false invoices and bid-rigging.

The Bai family's core assets entered debt restructuring, and the Bai family lost control of the port. The Wang family's medical assets were transferred, and the old procurement channels were completely withdrawn.

After reading the news at the Royal Dynasty Restaurant, Lei put his phone on the table and said to his old subordinates:

"The Bai, Su, Wang, and Zhao families have all been wiped out. From now on, the Lin family will set the rules in the provincial capital."
