Chapter 674: All-in!

These black-clad people moved with light steps, their actions swift and neat…

Obviously, they were well-trained enforcers.

They spread out, vigilantly scanning every corner of the living room, their expressions on guard.

At that moment, the interior was pitch black…

Only the faint moonlight from outside the window remained, barely enough to make out the rough outlines inside.

Lin Yuan pulled Shen Nan Zhi and quietly retreated into the bedroom.

Shen Nan Zhi hid behind Lin Yuan, her pretty face flustered, she dared not breathe.

After the black-clad people sneaked inside, sensing the darkness within, they all showed looks of confusion on their faces,

One of them lowered his voice, tone tinged with puzzlement: "The lights are out? Could Shen Nan Zhi already be asleep?"

The leader of the black-clad people furrowed his brows, scanning the surroundings…

After a moment of silence, the leader whispered to the others: "Regardless of whether she's asleep, we can't let her go—check the bedroom, be sure to find her!"

All the black-clad people nodded.

They lowered their steps, slowly feeling their way toward Shen Nan Zhi's bedroom…

The black-clad people's steps were so light… almost soundless, only faint footsteps echoed in the silent house.

Soon, the black-clad people arrived at the door of Shen Nan Zhi's bedroom.

The leader of the black-clad people… gently pushed open the ajar bedroom door and went in first…

The others followed closely behind.

The bedroom was likewise pitch black…

By the moonlight outside the window, they clearly saw a person's silhouette lying on the bed…

On the bed, the quilt was bulging, as if someone were sound asleep.

The leader's eyes narrowed, he gave a glance to the person beside him…

They exchanged a look, then all slowed their steps, slowly approaching the bedside.

One of them lowered his voice, whispering: "Go, capture her alive, be careful, don't wake her, tie her up and take her straight to Le Zong!"

As soon as the words fell, two black-clad people hurried forward…

The two black-clad people reached out, violently flung aside the bed's quilt, their movements swift and decisive, their faces showing certainty.

They thought… they could subdue the person on the bed in one move.

But at the instant the quilt was lifted, a cold light suddenly shot out from within the quilt——

Countless tiny silver needles, like a violent rain, shot toward the black-clad people ahead!

"Pu pu pu pu……"

The sound of the silver needles exploding forth…… kept ringing without cease!

The sky-full of silver needles…… struck each black-clad person precisely, without the slightest deviation.

The black-clad people had no time to react before being struck in vital spots by the silver needles!

These black-clad people only felt numb all over, their strength instantly drained……

They all cried out in anguish, collapsing to their knees, the tools in their hands clattering to the ground……

These black-clad people had their acupressure points sealed, unable to move any further, their faces full of pain and disbelief.

Immediately afterward, a figure slowly crawled up from the bed.

It was Lin Yuan, who had long set the trap.

His expression remained solemn, his sharp gaze sweeping over the black-clad people kneeling inside the house……

Lin Yuan's gaze quickly locked onto the direction of the door——

As it turned out, there was still a sentinel black-clad person outside.

The sentinel, just startled by the commotion inside, seeing his companions all subdued, frightened, turned and wanted to run out the door……

The sentinel intended to go back and report.

Lin Yuan's eyes turned cold, without the slightest hesitation he raised his hand, pinched a silver needle, exerted slight force with his fingertips, and the silver needle shot out like an arrow from a bow!

"Puchi!"

The silver needle struck the sentinel black-clad person's chest precisely.

"Ah——!" the sentinel black-clad person let out a miserable cry, his body went limp, and he likewise knelt on the ground!

In a short moment, all the black-clad people who had infiltrated the house were completely subdued……

Not a single one managed to escape.

Inside the house only the painful groans of the black-clad people remained……

Forming a stark contrast to the tense confrontation just before.

At this moment, Shen Nan Zhi also slowly crawled out from under the bed.

Her pretty face still bore the lingering panic, her hair somewhat disheveled.

Shen Nan Zhi's eyes remained full of fear; after coming out she quickly walked to behind Lin Yuan, tightly gripping the corner of his clothes……

Shen Nan Zhi cautiously poked her head out, looking at the black-clad people on the floor, not daring to breathe.

Lin Yuan felt the trembling behind him, slowly turned, and gently patted Shen Nan Zhi's back……

Lin Yuan softened his tone, gently yet firmly reassuring:

"Don't be afraid, it's over; I have them under control, they can't hurt you."

After comforting Shen Nan Zhi……

Lin Yuan turned around, step by step approached the black-clad people kneeling on the ground.

Lin Yuan coldly looked at them.

Lin Yuan's tone was ice-cold, without a trace of warmth, as he began the interrogation:

"Speak, who sent you? What is your purpose? Who sent you to capture Shen Nan Zhi?"

Hearing Lin Yuan's interrogation, the black-clothed men all lifted their heads, their faces full of pain……

Yet the black-clothed men still gritted their teeth, eyes resolute, no one willing to speak.

Obviously, they had undergone strict training; even if captured, they would not reveal a single word.

Lin Yuan looked at their stubborn appearance, the corner of his mouth curling into a cold, icy smile……

There was no pity in Lin Yuan's eyes; his fingertips once again twisted a few silver needles,

Lin Yuan's figure flashed, and he quickly walked to each black-clothed man.

He raised his hand, precisely inserting the silver needles into their acupoints.

Lin Yuan's movements were clean and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

"Mmm——!"

The moment the silver needles entered their bodies, the black-clothed men instantly let out a ferocious wail!

Their previously feigned resolve……instantly collapsed!

The black-clothed men collapsed to the ground……their bodies spasming uncontrollably!

Their faces……were filled with expressions of pain.

Their foreheads……oozed dense cold sweat, their whole bodies feeling as if thousands of ants were gnawing at them……

That kind of piercing pain made them unable to endure.

The wails……echoed in the silent room, becoming ever more piercing.

The agony from these acupoints far surpassed bodily injury, making people collapse……

In just a moment, the black-clothed men could no longer hold up, collapsing one by one to the ground……

The black-clothed men trembled all over, the resolve in their eyes replaced by fear……

They, no longer had their previous bravado.

"I'll talk! I'll talk!" the leader of the black-clothed men collapsed first.

His voice trembled uncontrollably, he no longer dared to conceal, hastily speaking to explain,

"We……we are all dispatched by Le Tian Financial, it's Chief Le……Le Xiao chen who ordered us; this mission is to kidnap Shen Nan Zhi, bring her back, use her to pressure Su Monong into halting her X Vaccine research! To relinquish company shares……"

The other black-clothed men also chimed in, moaning in pain while trembling as they added……

In their words……full of fear, dreading that Lin Yuan would again torture them with silver needles……

This group of black-clothed men laid out Le Xiao chen's orders completely, without hiding anything.

After hearing them, Lin Yuan's gaze grew even colder.

Lin Yuan hesitated not at all, directly took out his phone and dialed Mu Lingxue's number.

Lin Yuan held the phone, his tone ice-cold:

"Lingxue, I'm at Shen Nan Zhi's home; here is a group of thugs sent by Le Tian Financial, intending to kidnap Shen Nan Zhi. Bring the criminal police team over to arrest them all for interrogation."

On the other end of the line, Mu Lingxue, hearing this, immediately responded: "Alright, I'll bring people over right away, arriving within ten minutes!"

After hanging up the phone……

Within ten minutes.

Sure enough, a knocking sound rang out.

Mu Lingxue led a group of criminal police members in uniform rushing to the scene……

After Mu Lingxue entered the door, she quickly brought the situation under control.

She surveyed the scene, then signaled her subordinates……to handcuff all the black-clothed men kneeling on the ground and put them in police cars.

Mu Lingxue took this group of black-clothed men back to the Public Security Bureau……for further interrogation.

After the black-clothed men were taken away, the room finally regained calm……

Shen Nan Zhi remained frightened, tightly gripping Lin Yuan's arm.

Lin Yuan gently patted her hand, soothing:

"Come with me to the Public Security Bureau; as the involved party, you need to give a statement, and I want to personally interrogate them to solidify all evidence."

Shen Nan Zhi nodded.

Although she was still somewhat afraid, looking at Lin Yuan's determined gaze……

Shen Nan Zhi gained a bit more confidence in her heart, and together with Lin Yuan she got into the car heading to the Public Security Bureau.

……

Upon arriving at the Public Security Bureau, Lin Yuan, relying on his special identity, voluntarily applied to be the chief interrogator……

He intended to personally interrogate this group of black-clothed men.

In the interrogation room, the atmosphere was oppressive.

Lin Yuan looked down upon the detained black-clothed men.

Lin Yuan's tone was ice-cold, his aura strong; each question struck vital points, carrying an irresistible pressure.

Under Lin Yuan's layered pressure and the threat of the silver needles, this group of thugs no longer concealed anything, openly confessing their crimes……

They not only gave a detailed account of Le Xiao chen……directing them in the entire process of kidnapping Shen Nan Zhi……

They also revealed clues of collusion between Le Tian Financial and Sun Licheng father and daughter……

All evidence was recorded one by one, the clues pointing directly to Le Tian Financial.

……

Early the next morning.

Mu Lingxue then, based on the clues provided by the black-clothed men, promptly launched an investigation……

She focused on investigating Le Tian Financial...... and the collusion evidence between Sun Licheng and his daughter.

Mu Lingxue led the criminal police team members, retrieving relevant financial records, communication records, and visiting relevant informed personnel......

The police dug deep layer by layer, acting swiftly and strictly.

Not long after, Mu Lingxue gained a major breakthrough.

She successfully grasped...... the fact that Le Xiao chen used Le Tian Financial's financial advantage to illegally interfere with Su Group's operations and maliciously short Su Group's stock.

Furthermore, she also found key evidence%...... of Le Xiao chen colluding with Sun Licheng and his daughter, intending to embezzle Su Group's assets.

Each piece of evidence is detailed and strong, sufficient to let Le Xiao chen face legal sanctions.

That afternoon, Mu Lingxue no longer hesitated, directly had someone contact Le Xiao chen on the pretext of cooperating with the investigation, and brought him to the City Public Security Bureau.

In the interrogation room, the atmosphere was solemn.

Mu Lingxue placed part of the evidence she had grasped...... in front of Le Xiao chen.

Mu Lingxue's tone was stern, she directly pressed him:

"General Manager Le, I advise you to immediately cease all pressure tactics against Su Group, stop malicious short-selling, proactively confess your collusion with Sun Licheng and his daughter; otherwise, we will take compulsory measures against you according to law."

Le Xiao chen looked at the evidence on the table, his face showed no panic whatsoever; instead, the corner of his mouth curled into a contemptuous cold smile.,

Le Xiao chen's eyes were arrogant, he on the spot denied: "Officer Mu, you are baselessly smearing me! Le Tian Financial has always operated legally; where does the claim of illegal interference in enterprise operations and malicious short-selling come from? As for colluding with Sun Licheng and his daughter, that is pure fabrication!"

After speaking, Le Xiao chen stood up, tidied his suit......

Le Xiao chen's eyes icy...... glanced at Mu Lingxue.

Le Xiao chen's tone carried a hint of provocation:

"Officer Mu, without solid evidence, don't arbitrarily summon me, wasting my time."

As his words fell, Le Xiao chen turned around and walked out of the interrogation room without looking back......

He didn't take Mu Lingxue's warning seriously at all.

Watching Le Xiao chen's arrogant departing back, Mu Lingxue's face sank.

She was about to order a blockade when her phone suddenly rang; it was Lin Yuan calling.

On the other end of the phone, Lin Yuan's tone was calm:

"Lingxue, I know Le Xiao chen won't easily compromise; I here have another more detailed piece of evidence, which is the core material of illegal operations of Le Tian Financial's subsidiaries; I'm sending it to you, perfectly timed to use the City Public Security Bureau's hand to thoroughly purge Le Tian Financial and cut off his retreat."

After hanging up, Mu Lingxue quickly received the evidence sent by Lin Yuan......

Mu Lingxue opened it and looked......

Inside, it detailed the illegal operations of all entertainment venues and gambling city clubs under Le Tian Financial......

Including tax evasion, illegal gambling, harboring others for drug use, and multiple other offenses......

The evidence is solid, irrefutable.

Mu Lingxue narrowed her beautiful eyes.

Now, an opportunity has been found!

She initially had Lin Yuan lie in wait in the jianghu as an informant.

Indeed, it was an excellent choice!

Mu Lingxue immediately ordered, mobilizing the full strength of the criminal police team!

That afternoon, Mu Lingxue launched a comprehensive strict inspection of all entertainment venues, gambling city clubs, and related affiliated institutions under Le Tian Financial!

She let no illegal clue slip by.

Criminal police team members acted swiftly, splitting into multiple routes to assault, heading straight for each target location......

Police actions were swift and decisive, giving no chance for lawbreakers to transfer or destroy evidence.

After an afternoon of surprise inspection......

Police successfully cracked down on a large number of illegal institutions, on the spot arrested multiple illegal operation personnel, seized huge amounts of gambling funds and contraband......

Also sealed were multiple venues operating in violation, engaged in entertainment^...... and gambling city clubs,.

The illegal foundation of Le Tian Financial suffered a heavy blow.

For a time, the entirety of Le Tian Financial fell into chaos.

This strict inspection...... caused Le Tian Financial to suffer heavy losses!

Not only were the core profit-making entertainment venues and gambling city clubs sealed off, but also huge fines were paid.

Also, part of its financial business was suspended!

Le Tian Financial's capital chain once broke, nearly leading to the whole company being legally sealed off.

Upon hearing the news, Le Xiao chen was so angry he jumped like thunder!

But Le Xiao chen was nevertheless helpless!

He deeply knew...... if he continued to hard-resist against Lin Yuan and Mu Lingxue......

It would only let Le Tian Financial be completely destroyed.

Weighing pros and cons, Le Xiao chen could only suppress his anger, urgently calling off all cooperation with Sun Weiwei!

That night, Le Xiao chen convened an emergency meeting overnight......

Le Xiao chen ordered...... Le Tian Financial fully withdraw...... from its financial assault on Su Group.

Le Tian Financial, cease all actions against Su Monong and Lin Yuan.

Le Tian Financial...... thoroughly overhaul internal affairs to compensate for the losses from this strict inspection, attempting to preserve Le Tian Financial's foundation.

Late at night.

Sun Weiwei learned that Le Tian Financial had suddenly withdrawn and terminated cooperation, and even completely ceased pressuring the Su Group……

Sun Weiwei and her father were instantly filled with rage.

Inside the villa.

Sun Weiwei violently smashed the glass cup in her hand.

She never imagined that Le Xiao chen would be so fragile……

Just a single strict investigation, and Le Tian Financial completely gave in?

This rendered all the layouts that Sun Weiwei and her father had previously arranged…… come to naught again.

Consecutive failures plunged Sun Weiwei into a desperate situation……

Her father, Sun Licheng…… was entangled in the matter of illegally seized assets, and could barely protect himself.

And Le Tian Financial…… again defected at the critical moment……

Now, Sun Weiwei…… had no usable chips left in her hand.

Yet Sun Weiwei still refused to accept defeat……

Her inner resentment and madness…… grew ever more intense.

Soon, Sun Weiwei…… gave rise to an extreme idea!

She would resort to her final means, stake everything on one throw!
