Gangster heir? Please call me a legitimate entrepreneur.

Li Ehai's office, built with corrugated steel sheets, no longer even has a door.

A draft swept through the room, sending instant noodle wrappers flying all over the floor.

Only two broken chairs with missing legs remained in the room.

He collapsed onto the cement floor.

His eyes were fixed on the doorway.

One Jinbei van after another, like greedy black ants, stuffed his hard-earned savings into his belly.

"Hai, Brother Hai..."

The red-haired henchman clutched the business card Su Ye had given him, the edges of which were crumpled.

He swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing against his neck.

"Well... Sihai said that delivering packages includes five social insurances and one housing fund. My mom called yesterday and urged me to find a proper job."

Li Ehai suddenly turned his head and glared at him like a hungry wolf guarding its food.

"What the hell did you say?"

He grabbed the red-haired man by the collar and spat all over his face.

"I've always treated you guys to the best of everything, and now you dare betray me?"

Red Hair shrank back in fright and shoved Li Ehai's hand away.

"Eating and drinking well, my foot! You didn't even pay me last month's salary!"

He stiffened his neck and waved the business card in his hand.

"Sihai is a legitimate company, and their legal department is incredibly powerful. If I work for you, and they sue me under copyright law one day, I won't even be able to afford to pay compensation!"

After saying that, Red Hair ran off in a flash.

The remaining dozen or so henchmen looked at each other in bewilderment, then followed suit and ran away.

Even the temporary workers who had just been recruited from the village to help pack the rotten apples took the remaining half-pack of Zhonghua cigarettes from the table.

The factory is completely empty.

Li Ehai was left all alone, sitting forlornly in the wind.

"Thirty-five million..."

He gripped his hair tightly with both hands, scratching his scalp until it bled.

These thugs in suits! They don't hit or curse.

They just read a few legal articles through a loudspeaker and legally robbed him of all the wealth he had accumulated over half his life!

This is even worse than outright robbery! With outright robbery, you can call the police and have them arrested, but this guy has a court ruling!

Li Ehai took out the phone with the cracked screen and dialed 110.

"Hello? Is this 110?! I want to turn myself in! I've been selling counterfeit goods! Come and arrest me!"

He burst into tears, his face covered in snot and tears.

"Arrest me! If you're too late, people from all over the world will be coming to give a legal education session!"

……

The Maybach drove smoothly on the national highway back to the city.

Outside the car window, the dim streetlights rushed past one by one.

Shen Qinghan sat in the passenger seat.

She secretly glanced at Su Ye through the rearview mirror.

The man had his eyes closed and was breathing evenly.

On that refined scoundrel's face, there wasn't a trace of remorse for driving a colleague mad.

"President Su."

Shen Qinghan couldn't help but speak up.

She sent the edited video of her rights protection efforts to the public relations department, then turned to look at the back seat.

"Li Ehai called the police and turned himself in."

Su Ye didn't even lift his eyelids.

I tapped the inside of the thermos twice with my fingers, making a soft tapping sound.

"Okay. Got it."

Shen Qinghan bit her lip. How could this person be so calm?

"He's involved in a huge amount of money; he probably won't get out of there."

She paused, then asked tentatively.

"We've taken all his belongings. He definitely can't afford to pay that 35 million in compensation. How...how are we going to settle this?"

Su Ye slowly opened his eyes.

A glint of shrewd calculation flashed behind the glasses.

He unscrewed the lid, blew on the steam, and took a sip of water.

"Can't afford to pay?"

Su Ye chuckled lightly, "He also owns a piece of land in the suburbs of Longhai City."

He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses.

"Although it's a wasteland, its location is right on the route of our Express Logistics' planned warehousing center next year."

"Lin Dai calculated that if the land were auctioned off through court enforcement, it would be worth exactly 35 million."

Shen Qinghan gasped.

A chill ran down my spine and all the way to my heels.

One link leads to another.

This is hardly a rights protection effort.

They're clearly eyeing someone else's land!

Under the guise of protecting their rights, they used legal means to squeeze every last bit of value out of Li Ehai!

"You...you planned this all along?"

Shen Qinghan's voice trembled with disbelief.

Su Ye leaned back in his leather seat and turned to look out the car window.

"This is called making reasonable use of legal weapons to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises."

He spoke in a flat tone, as if he were talking about something perfectly normal.

"Since he dares to touch the cake of the world, he should be prepared to have the whole plate taken away."

……

the next day.

It's featured on the homepage of Sihai Short Video.

A video titled "A Powerful Blow of Justice! A True Account of the Iron-Blooded Rights Protection Efforts of the Legal Department of Sihai!" suddenly became the number one trending topic.

In the video.

Hundreds of burly men in black suits stood in neat rows.

There were no machetes, no steel pipes.

Only Lei Hu was holding a DV camera, filming with a righteous expression.

Lin Dai, holding a megaphone, read the indictment aloud with great emotion.

And a close-up of Li Ehai's face as he breaks down crying and collapses to the ground.

The comment section exploded instantly.

[Holy crap! This way of protecting rights is too hardcore! Over a hundred thugs in suits going to give a legal talk?!]

[That lady with the megaphone is so cool! Is this the legendary Nanshan Pizza Hut?]

[Hahaha! That bootlegger's expression was priceless! He probably thought he was going to get his kidneys squeezed, but instead they read him the law!]

[Sihai Group is amazing! Their public relations and execution are unmatched!]

This video was released.

The entire piracy community in Longhai City, and even in surrounding provinces and cities, fell silent.

Those gray-market gangs that originally wanted to get a share of the pie by taking advantage of the traffic of the Sihai APP.

All pirated links related to Sihai were deleted overnight.

Who would dare mess with these law-abiding thugs!

They won't hit you or scold you.

They'll come to your door with a team of 100 lawyers and legally empty your coffers with a court ruling!

This is a million times more terrifying than double-crossing!

……

The office of Lei Hu's security director on the top floor of Sihai Building.

Lei Hu sat with his legs crossed, his bald head gleaming.

He was holding an apple, taking a crunching bite.

On the table were several resumes that had just been delivered.

"Tiger Bro!"

Er Lengzi pushed the door open, scratching the back of his head with a silly grin on his face.

"A dozen or so people came in. They said they were from the fertilizer plant in the western suburbs yesterday and came to apply for a job as a courier for Jisuda Express."

Lei Hu threw the apple core into the trash can and grabbed a tissue to wipe his hands.

"They came pretty quickly. Brother Su said that as long as they're clean-cut and have no criminal record, they'll take them all."

He stood up and walked over to Er Lengzi.

He patted him on the shoulder.

"Go and arrange onboarding training for them. Emphasize our Sihai corporate culture."

Lei Hu grinned, and Scarface twisted.

"Tell them that the first rule for working here is to memorize the Traffic Safety Law and the Labor Contract Law."

"Those who fail the exam will have to go and scrub Sanpang's back!"

Er Lengzi shivered and nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, Tiger! I'll go arrange it right away!"

Lei Hu watched Er Lengzi run away and patted his bald head with satisfaction.

Being a director feels so much better than being a "red pole" (a term used to describe someone who is overly ambitious or influential).

You don't have to worry about the police, and you can legally and compliantly direct people to do their work.

He walked to the window and looked down at the bustling traffic below.

Sihai Group, its business is getting bigger and bigger.

"Ring ring—"

The landline on my desk rang.

Lei Hu answered the phone.

"Feed? Brother Su, what are the instructions?"

Su Ye's voice came through the receiver, deep and imposing, carrying an undeniable authority.

"Notify all department heads that a high-level meeting will be held tomorrow at 3 PM."

He paused.

"Our group is celebrating its first anniversary. We're planning an annual meeting."
