Lin Ying’s uncle took massive subsidies from the overseas Lin clan while still trying to cut off their escape routes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he was exiled to the Tropical Continent, and his related family members and career agents were all sent to prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the hundreds of millions invested in Qingao Island have become a hot potato to all Xia Country Lins, and this matter even involves officials at high levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no choice—the initial investment was hundreds of millions, and follow-up funding could reach over a billion; the performance was too dazzling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He violated the original agreement. Qingao Island has become a hot potato no one wants.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In another while, if no one pays the fine, this place will likely become a half-finished project and be auctioned off by court order,” Lin Ying said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just hearing you talk about Qingao Island, I can already imagine how deeply your Lin family is scheming! Aren’t you afraid of ending up like Shen Wansan?” Chen Zhiyu couldn’t help but mutter in astonishment—it was the first time he realized just how wealthy this rich girl truly was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ying glanced at Chen Zhiyu, turned her head, and spoke in a calm tone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know? Among all tax categories, there’s one called the Responsibility Tax—and reducing this tax is very simple: hire disabled people and demonstrate positive social responsibility.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But here, disability is ranked in tiers—one severe disability counts as three mild ones for tax reduction. Any normal company, considering all factors, will choose severe disabilities and give them various forms of minimum welfare.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our Lin factories have many workers, and we prefer these mild disabilities who are shunned everywhere.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ying looked at Chen Zhiyu and sneered: “No Xia Dong official wants the Lin clan to die.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No one can shake our Lin clan’s foundation unless… someone is willing to shoulder tens of billions in debt just to fight us to the death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ying spoke vividly, pretending to be a villain to scare Chen Zhiyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before meeting Chen Zhiyu, the only things that had ever genuinely interested Lin Ying were Master Fuli and the world’s revival and related research.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after meeting Chen Zhiyu,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>one more thing had become interesting to Lin Ying: [daily scaring or teasing Chen Zhiyu].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no choice—Chen Zhiyu is a terrible person, constantly badmouthing her in front of Master Fuli.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ying simply lacks interest and motivation toward most things—but she’s not dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The treatment drug is like a wind-up key; once wound, she gains mobility, but she still lacks initiative toward most things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Zhiyu stared at Lin Ying in shock, then felt a chill sweep through the air—he shivered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng looked at Lin Ying, his face lined with exasperation: “Do rich people really have this many schemes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t even think about targeting my ass—I’ll bite it the moment I get back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little fox’s whimper briefly warmed the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sightseeing vehicle driven by Lin Ying arrived at the zoo in Qingao South Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the watchful eyes of the monkey troop, the electric sightseeing vehicle reached the healing grounds of the Golden Lion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All metal fences in this zoo had been irreversibly damaged; the monkey hill, tiger enclosure, leopard pen, and herbivore zones were all in a state of uncontrolled abandonment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ying scanned the surroundings and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Qingao Island is under seal, they still have personnel here for basic management.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But clearly, the managers here knew there was no future in staying—they just quit and ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They ran, yet didn’t report it, and still collected their salaries and benefits from Lin Holdings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the gaze of two leopards and a tiger, the little fox led Lin Ying and Chen Zhiyu to the Lion King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lions… are this big?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Zhiyu, seeing the Golden Lion, sucked in a breath and looked at Master Fuli:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old man… did you twist his neck?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she had seen Master Fuli fight a crocodile, seeing him snap the Golden Lion’s neck still left Chen Zhiyu stunned and speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Lion seemed to understand Chen Zhiyu’s shock; even now with his face twisted, he couldn’t help letting out a low, angry growl to express his displeasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you roaring for? I got you a doctor—now you’re unhappy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng stood on his hind legs, sat on the Golden Lion’s head, and pounded it firmly: “Sit still. I’m going to introduce you to a friend. If you so much as scratch our doctor, I’ll pluck every strand of your mane and send you to Shancheng Zoo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Lion didn’t understand An Sheng’s grumbling, but instinctively sensed the little fox’s cunning—he snorted, turned his head away, and refused to engage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Zhiyu marveled, climbed onto the Golden Lion’s back, and began a bone examination along its spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a routine checkup, Chen Zhiyu had a general understanding of the Golden Lion’s condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No major injuries—just muscle strain causing neck muscle contraction; it will need time to recover gradually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the bruising and swelling, those aren’t issues a vet can fix—only time can heal them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1174,"2026-06-20T23:19:16.017Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","83a2ff573de1728ca89dbdaf3d4e65465f20b785ba3c479d47602a7a951824d1","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-143","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-141",354,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-cover.jpg"]
