Chapter 220

Lin Dongfan

To be frank, a man, if he has not a single hair on his body, is really ugly to look at; even holy shit, oh cannot save your ugly soul.

Jia Tuzei

Thanks for your praise, I suddenly realized pulling them out one by one is a bit slow; I'm preparing to use asphalt—do you know how the market aunts pluck chickens and ducks?

Tuzei

My nickname is Yang Sansui; as a kid doing things, my main trait is being bold to the point of recklessness.

Lin Dongfan! Where the hell did you go? Quickly take this beast away! If you keep ignoring him, watch out—I'll charge you with torture to extract a confession!

Lao Tulu

The howling inside the car was full of a sense of collapse.

Lin Dongfan had a cigarette in his mouth, leaning against the car door; the more he listened, the more dazed he became, unable to figure out why Jia Tuzei was wailing so miserably.

Lin Zhenhua

Lin Yuzhi

Driven by curiosity, Lin Dongfan, as if possessed, lifted his right pant leg, pinched a leg hair and yanked it hard; the next second he winced in pain.

Gao Lu

After it eased, Lin Dongfan looked up and sighed silently: "Damn, I'm really stupid—I even forgot that my body, hair, and skin were given by my parents! As an unfilial son, I really have no good ending."

The weather changed; the sky was windy and cloudy, looking like it was going to rain.

From inside the car came the miserable wails of Jia Tuzei's donkey.

Chairman

Until from inside came the sobbing of Jia Tuzei's donkey: "You little beast, didn't you say you'd use asphalt? Come on, pull them all out at once, give me a quick end…"

General Manager

Master

Jia Tuzei looked as if he had seen a holy dawn, his lips trembling as he cried out to Lin Dongfan: "Section Chief Lin, a scholar may be killed but not humiliated! This beast is going too far—even prisoners have dignity!"

Jing

Lin Dongfan glanced over and saw that the fast-food box was filled with hair.

Heaven Walk Group

Yang Sansui, who wasn't disgusted, pinched a hair and looked left and right, then blew gently: "It's a pity; you're not a criminal yet, you're a criminal suspect."

"Criminal suspects also have dignity!" Jia Tuzei shouted through tears.

Yang Qing rolled his eyes: "Afraid you'll lose face, I helped you put on your underwear—isn't that giving you dignity? If you dare spout bloody nonsense again, watch out, I'll snap a rubber band at you! Know where I'll snap it?"

"Section Chief Lin, listen, is this something a person would do?!"

Jia Yuzhang looked at Lin Dongfan with tears in his eyes.

He probably forgot that, at the peak of his life, he played with those somewhat attractive female subordinates in all sorts of ways, completely disregarding their feelings.

Lin Dongfan said: "Director Jia, this really isn't something a person would do, so do you want to cooperate with me? I can guarantee you won't lose even a single hair."

"Just kill me!"

Jia Yuzhang closed his eyes, putting on a look of facing death as if returning home.

No rush.

The old bald donkey refused to cooperate, gritting his teeth and refusing to answer any questions, simply because he feared the bigwig behind him would silence him.

Taking advantage of the fact that only Yang Qing and Jia Yuzhang were in the car.

Lin Dongfan stopped pretending and laid his cards on the table: "Lin Muyuan is my grandfather, Lin Zhenhua is my uncle, Lin Yuzhi is my aunt, Xie Yunxin is my aunt-in-law—are you sure I can't protect you fully?"

Before his words even finished, Yang Qing's eyes widened in shock.

Looking at Lin Dongfan like a monster, he could hardly believe his own ears: "This is my brother? Momma's lit lamp, am I dreaming? My brother is a Jing-circle princelings??"

What an explosively shocking red family tree!

Equally shocked was Jia Yuzhang, whose originally closed eyes suddenly flew open: "Master Lin, I was wrong; the car's air conditioning is a bit cold—could you let me put on my pants first?"

This request is not excessive at all.

Lin Dongfan gave Yang Qing a look; Yang Qing wouldn't help this old bald thief put on his pants, instead directly unlocking his handcuffs and letting him put them on himself.

Jia Yuzhang complained while putting on his pants: "Master Lin, it's not me saying this, but you're really too low-key. If you had put out your family tree earlier, I wouldn't have suffered like this."

Cut the crap, speak.

What to say?

Who are you serving?

First and foremost, I serve the people.

And then?

Then…… my mind is a bit scrambled; let me think first.

Jia Yuzhang looked torn, wanting to speak but not daring to.

Yang Qing idly played with the tweezers in his hand: "There's also a lot of hair around your anus; plucking it there feels oddly refreshing…"

I'm trying to cooperate.

Speechless, Jia Yuzhang instinctively clenched his anus.

He then shifted his gaze to Lin Dongfan: "Master Lin, many things are hard to explain; I know who I'm working for, but my rank is low, and the people I actually come into contact with are Gao Lu and Zou Feiyun."

As everyone knows, Gao Lu is the sister of Gao Peng and the chairman of Tiangang Group.

As for Zou Feiyun, Lin Dongfan knows little, only that he is the youngest son of Zou Yugang, and also appears to be a low-key businessman, the actual controller of Dada Energy Group.

Both of them are outside the system.

Lin Dongfan asked: "First, tell me about Zou Feiyun—how are you conveying benefits to him?"

Actually, I don't have any direct business dealings with Zou Feiyun either. He sits at the top of the food chain, occupying a position that gives orders.

Translation: "Actually, between me and Zou Feiyun, there is also no direct business dealings. He stands at the top of the food chain, belonging to the role of giving orders."

We need to keep quotes? The Chinese includes quotation marks 「」. Should we keep them? The instruction: translate faithfully; we should preserve punctuation? Usually we keep the quotes as they are part of the text. The lines include 「」 at start and end. We should output them as part of translation? The instruction: "Translate faithfully — never skip, summarise, or merge paragraphs." It doesn't explicitly say to keep quotation marks, but they are part of the source. I'd keep them. However the output line must start with 【N】 then space then translation. Should we include the 「」 inside translation? Probably yes.

Thus: 【61】 「Actually, between me and Zou Feiyun, there is also no direct business dealings. He stands at the top of the food chain, belonging to the role of giving orders. 」

But need to ensure natural English. Could be: "Actually, between me and Zou Feiyun, there is no direct business relationship either. He stands at the top of the food chain, belonging to the role of giving orders."

Let's produce.

"What do you mean?"

"For example, at an energy exchange meeting once, he said Gao Lu wanted to expand the oil business, so I had to figure out how to give the Jianglan Oil Field subsidiary to Gao Lu."

We need to keep quotes.

"Damn, played so covertly."

Combining some public information he had learned from his previous life, Lin Dongfan thought about it and understood the scheme.

To avoid risk, Zou Feiyun does not directly swallow state assets; he takes a roundabout approach.

Put simply, he first uses his own influence to induce Jia Yuzhang to channel state assets to Gao Lu, and then Gao Lu gives back.

Thus, Zou Feiyun's benefits come from his cooperation with the Heavenly Journey Group.

This is business between private companies; on the surface, the state-owned enterprise's loss has nothing to do with Zou Feiyun.

In other words, Gao Lu's Heavenly Journey Group is actually a stepping stone.

Lin Dongfan again asked Jia Yuzhang: "Then tell me about your cooperation with Gao Lu—did you leave any evidence when you conveyed benefits to her Heavenly Journey Group?"

"If I say I'm a piece of cannon fodder, would you believe me?"

Jia Yuzhang looked sullen.

After thinking carefully, he helplessly said: "Destroying the Jianglan Oil Field subsidiary and selling off assets at a low price is an internal matter of our unit. As the buyer, Gao Lu's purchase procedures are legal and compliant."

"Think again—didn't she give you any benefit when she acquired the Jianglan Oil Field at a low price?"

"Well..."

"At this point, you wouldn't still be fantasizing about keeping some of the illicit money, would you? Don't be so naive; only by catching them all can you truly be safe."

"Gao Lu gave me 50 million, but that money wasn't transferred directly to me."

"Then who was it transferred to?"

"I used someone else's ID to open an overseas account."

"Hehe, I knew you guys were playing fancy." In the midst of chatting and laughing, Lin Dongfan took out his phone and called Peng Tianhua: "Old Peng, Manager Jia performed well today; go buy him a bowl of sheep offal noodles."

Upon hearing about sheep offal noodles, Jia Yuzhang's stomach growled loudly.

He rubbed his growling belly and smiled: "Thank you, Lin Ye. As long as you can keep me alive, I will surely cooperate fully with your investigation and strive for merit."
