Ye Feng found a clue about the Li family.

And what about the Li family?

Almost at the same time, they realized something was wrong!

The two survivors at the East City Clinic were originally ordered by Li Tianhao to be disposed of quietly.

But as soon as Ye Feng stepped out, the men guarding him were terrified. The two men, who had been beaten senseless, were trembling with fear.

He kept pleading, "Honorable Doctor, spare me! I know, I really know everything... Don't kill me, I'll tell you everyone's name."

These messages reached the Li family's hometown.

Upon hearing this, Third Master Li Tianhao immediately smashed a very valuable Ru kiln teacup on the table.

The Ru kiln teacup shattered on the ground, spilling tea everywhere.

Everyone in the room was so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.

"A mere pup from the Lin family actually followed the clues to this clinic? And with just a few words, he managed to get those two victims to talk... That's quite something..."

"This kid is a real problem."

Li Tianhao's trusted steward, standing nearby, made a throat-slitting gesture with his hand and said, "Should we... kill him?"

"Idiot!"

Li Tianhao slapped him on the head: "Use your brain for a second. Can that kid kill a whole squad of knife-wielding warriors by himself with his bare hands? Do you think we can just go and deliver him as meat? Besides, the Lin family just had a big battle with the Zhao family, and everyone is waiting for the wind to change. Sending someone to Lin Zhenshan's house at this time is like sticking your hand in the Lin family's backyard, letting them grab your weakness and hand it over to you."

He walked around in a daze, and suddenly a cold look appeared in his eyes.

"If a head-on confrontation doesn't work, then let's try a softer, more underhanded approach." He laughed. "We can't use force against someone like this who's so unyielding and has no powerful backing."

"Is it about following the rules?"

"...Third Master means...?" The steward was somewhat confused.

"Is he a bodyguard sent by the Lin family?" Li Tianhao said mysteriously, enunciating each word clearly: "How did this wild, uncouth outsider manage to sneak into the Lin family and enter and leave these wealthy people's villas? What if this wild beast 'just happens' to be found to have some illegal items on him by the authorities; or 'just happens' to be involved in a gang fight and injure someone..."

"I'd say that old fox Lin Zhenshan is most afraid of losing face. He'll be the first to kick out any bodyguard who brings trouble and disaster to the Lin family. Then the Lin family will kick him out. Without Lin Zhenshan backing him up, this kid will be all alone... then our people can do whatever they want!"

The manager understood and immediately gave a compliment, "Third Master is brilliant! This is a classic case of using someone else to do your dirty work, cutting off their resources!"

"Go do it!"

Li Tianhao waved his hand: "Try to make it look neat, so no one knows who did it!"

Two days later.

A clear and sunny day.

Two police cars suddenly appeared outside the massive gates of the Lin family manor. The gates opened, and a group of stern-faced police officers stepped out. The lead officer flashed his badge and then shouted, causing the entire manor to tremble! "We have received an anonymous tip that Ye Feng is suspected of involvement in a group fight and is carrying controlled weapons. Ye Feng is currently hiding within your residence. Cooperate with the investigation!"

There was a loud bang.

The police officer in charge was surnamed Qian, around 40 years old, with a cold expression. He spoke without any mercy and immediately presented a report.

It clearly states above that one night, in the eastern part of the city, Ye Feng led a gang to cause trouble, resulting in serious injuries to many people. He also carried controlled knives during the crime, making it a serious offense. Finally, there are a few pictures: one of Ye Feng with his hands in his pockets walking in and out of a dark alley in the eastern part of the city, and another of two injured people in the clinic with their bodies wrapped in bandages.

We have witness testimonies, physical evidence, and photographs—everything is there.

Lin Yuqing happened to be at the company. Upon hearing the news, her heart sank, and she immediately drove back.

Upon entering and seeing this scene, her face immediately turned ashen!

"It's filthy!"

Lin Yuqing immediately rushed forward, blocking Ye Feng's path, a cold smile on her face. "Ye Feng went to the east of the city that day because I sent him on a mission. I know exactly where he went. He's been framed. The whole thing about a gang fight resulting in serious injury is utter nonsense!"

"President Lin, please don't get agitated." Officer Qian maintained a strictly businesslike attitude, unmoved by any persuasion. "We have a report with a real name, photos, and the injured person's medical records. We must investigate according to the law. So, Mr. Ye, would you please come with me to the station?"

"An investigation is fine, but don't even think about it until my Lin family members are arrested!" Lin Yuqing controlled her temper and refused to budge an inch. "No one is allowed to take my Lin family members out until they have been thoroughly investigated. If you do take them out, you must produce something that can withstand scrutiny."

Having navigated the business world for so many years, Lin Yuqing is well aware of the tactics used in these "surprise raids"—they aim to achieve a decisive victory, apply pressure in public, put you on the hot seat, and leave you flustered and at a loss!

That's exactly the situation right now!

The servants watching whispered among themselves.

As for Lin Yuqing's sisters-in-law, who had never gotten along well with her, they were peeking around with glee.

If this inexplicable bodyguard is arrested in public, the Lin family, a century-old clan, will lose face!

"I told you, he's definitely some hoodlum, what skills does he have?" came a sour, foul-smelling old woman's gossiping voice from the crowd. "That girl Yuqing picked up some guys on the street and treated them like treasures, now she's getting her comeuppance, isn't she?"

"Of course, if we arrest her, she'll be all high and mighty like a CEO!" another relative chimed in sarcastically.

These harsh whispers entered Lin Yuqing's ears without any concealment. Lin Yuqing clenched her fists. These so-called "family members" were usually very eager to share the benefits of the Lin family, but when it came to the real trouble, they were the ones who jumped the highest!

But Ye Feng, standing at the center of the storm, had an expression that remained unchanged from beginning to end. He even had the leisure to brush the dust off his vest, looking as calm and collected as if he were just a spectator watching a show, not the "suspect" being pointed at and questioned.

With a pair of pockets on his body, he walked out lazily from behind Lin Yu, even with a slight smile of anticipation on his face.

"Officer Qian, right?" Ye Feng tilted his head, sizing him up. "You've accused me of engaging in a gang fight and causing serious injury? Your evidence is those two seriously injured people from the east side of the city?"

"Hmm!" Officer Qian said coldly, "The witnesses and evidence are all here. Mr. Ye, you'd better not try to deny it."

Standing there, when Lin Yuqing heard her name called out, and seeing Ye Feng's calm and composed expression, her heart, which had been pounding in her chest, gradually settled down. She knew Ye Feng so well. Whether it was Zhou Muren's quack doctor case, Qin Yu's "Heart-Piercing Scheme," or the equity battle with the Zhao family, whenever everyone thought he was about to fail and lose face, he always appeared confident and in control. In the end, it was the other person who suffered. This time, she decided to relax and observe, waiting to see how Ye Feng would turn this mess around!

"Trying to justify yourself?" Ye Feng laughed, his laughter tinged with smugness and a hint of amusement. "Officer Qian, you've been a bit too hasty with this case. So hasty... you haven't even had time to cover up the most basic flaws."

Officer Qian frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is," Ye Feng slowly extended a finger, looked at the faces around him waiting to see the Lin family make a fool of themselves, and his smile became even more pleasant: "Your complaint is full of loopholes from beginning to end, like a big sieve. Today, I'm going to dissect it for you piece by piece in front of everyone in the Lin family."

"After you've untied it," he said, his smile vanishing, a sudden chill flashing in his eyes, "I also want to ask, who stabbed me in the back?"
