Tan Shan was shocked as he looked at Lin Chen, "Director Lin, was the Uncle Zhou you mentioned just now Mayor Zhou Yunshan?"

"Yes, what about it?" Lin Chen replied indifferently.

"What? Director Lin just called Mayor Yun Shan?" The entire meeting room was in shock.

"What kind of background does Director Lin have to be calling the mayor 'Uncle'? Their relationship must be extraordinary."

"No wonder he's so confident. It seems that Director Lin indeed has an exceptional background."

Whispers began to spread throughout the venue once again. The deeper Lin Chen's background appeared, the happier these people became.

The only person feeling miserable was Tan Shan. The deeper Lin Chen's background was revealed to be, the tougher an opponent he seemed, and what vexed him most was that Lin Chen had managed to get a hold of evidence of his corruption.

After the meeting ended, Lin Chen kept Tan Shan behind.

"Manager Tan, let's be honest with each other. You conducted all these maneuvers because you thought I, Lin Chen, was easy to bully, aiming to drive me out of the company. You like to play games, don't you? Well, I'll gladly play along today," Lin Chen said, without a hint of politeness.

Tan Shan's face turned an ashen shade of iron. Now he regretted making an enemy of Lin Chen. The tactics and background Lin Chen had displayed were simply too astonishing, plus with the evidence in Lin Chen's hands, he naturally didn't dare to confront him head-on.

"Director Lin, this is all a misunderstanding," Tan Shan said, his face looking ugly.

"Misunderstanding? Do you think I'm a fool? Since we've already come to a head, let's settle this once and for all," Lin Chen said coldly.

Trying to curry favor, Tan Shan smiled appeasingly, "Director Lin, don't put it so gravely, please. We can talk this over."

From the side, Xue Ying snorted coldly, "Manager Tan, just a couple of days ago, you were not speaking like this. Didn't you say you were going to make us leave the company in disgrace?"

Lin Chen sneered, "Considering the hard work you've put in over the years, we'll buy your shares at half price. With that, I can overlook your past deeds. Now you can get out of the company."

"What? Buy my shares at half price? Lin Chen, that's extortion!" Tan Shan exclaimed furiously.

Lin Chen smiled faintly, "If I were to hand over that evidence to the police, not to mention half price for the shares, you'd probably spend the rest of your life in prison. I'm already being more than fair to you. Of course, I'll give you a day to think it over. If you wait till tomorrow, the price won't be the same."

Saying this, Lin Chen stood up and turned to Xue Ying, "All right, we're leaving. Call me when you've made up your mind."

Lin Chen and Xue Ying left the conference room, and Tan Shan, seething with anger, smashed an ashtray on the floor.

"Half price for my shares? That's a dream. Lin Chen, you're forcing my hand," he said as he picked up the phone.

"Sixth Brother, they're out. Proceed as planned, but I've changed my mind. I want them dead, that man and woman," Tan Shan said viciously.

"Don't worry, Manager Tan. But about the payment..." A menacing voice came from the other end.

"I'll add a million to it, but I want a clean job," Tan Shan said.

"Ha ha, no problem. It will be like ghosts doing the deed—unseen, unheard," came the cold laughter from the other end.

Lin Chen and Xue Ying had just left the company building and reached the parking lot when suddenly a police car rushed in and stopped in front of them, and four police officers got out of the vehicle.

As the four police officers approached them, Lin Chen furrowed his brow.

The police officers surrounded Lin Chen and Xue Ying. One of them spoke in a cold tone, "You're Lin Chen, right? You're suspected of economic crimes. Please come with us."

"Economic crimes?"

Xue Ying was immediately taken aback!

"Officer, could it be you've got the wrong person? We're all legitimate businessmen, how could we be suspected of economic crimes?" Xue Ying argued, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.

Lin Chen looked at the four officers, his gaze slightly squinting and the corners of his mouth curling into a hint of a smile. With the help of his X-ray vision, he saw that all the officers had a dragon tattooed on them.

Would a police officer have a dragon tattoo? Thus, Lin Chen immediately realized these four were imposters.

"Whether you've committed a crime or not, we'll find out after an investigation, take them away!" said the impatient officer, waving his hand dismissively.

"How can you arrest people arbitrarily!" Xue Ying was about to struggle when Lin Chen shook his head at her.

"Sister Ying, we must trust the officers. If we haven't done anything, then we haven't, and I believe the officers will investigate thoroughly," Lin Chen said, unexpectedly extending his hands cooperatively for one of the officers to handcuff him.

Xue Ying glanced at Lin Chen, confused, then another officer handcuffed her.

The two were stuffed into a police car, and an officer took out a prepared cloth to blindfold them.

Seeing how smoothly things were going, the four imposters exchanged glances, a cold smirk on their faces.

The car dashed out of the parking lot and only stopped after about half an hour.

"Get out!"

Lin Chen and Xue Ying were ushered out of the car by the officers and pushed and shoved into a house.

After removing the blindfolds, Lin Chen squinted and looked around. It was an abandoned warehouse, poorly lit, and the four facing him wore fierce expressions.

"Who are you? This place is definitely not a police station," Xue Ying's face began to look unpleasant.

"Of course, this isn't a police station; have you ever heard of officers with dragons tattooed all over them?" Lin Chen spoke coldly.

Hearing Lin Chen's words, the smirking officers were stunned.

"Boy, how did you know we have dragons tattooed on us?" These four were known as the DY Four Little Dragons, each with a dragon tattoo, but how did Lin Chen know?

"Not only do I know you have dragons tattooed, but I also know that on you is the Azure Dragon, the one on your left is the White Dragon, the one behind you is the Black Dragon, and that fat one is the Yellow Dragon," Lin Chen said indifferently.

"That's impossible!" shock colored the faces of the four.

However, the guy with the Azure Dragon tattoo snorted coldly, "Kid, no matter how you knew about the dragons on us, you have to die today."

Lin Chen gave a cold smile, "Is that so? Didn't you think why I would willingly come with you, knowing you were fake officers?"

"Why?" the fat one blurted out.

"Because you pose no threat to me at all, and I'm more interested in knowing who sent you," Lin Chen said calmly.

"Ha ha, boy, you really don't know when you're out of your depth. Unfortunately for you, the person you're curious about asked us to disable you, but now they've changed their mind and want you dead, making this place your graveyard. Be smarter in your next life, don't be so curious."

"This chick is nice. Big brother, let's have our fun with her before we kill her," an officer suggested.

"I say we take turns until she's dead!"

The four broke into maniacal laughter, seeing Lin Chen and Xue Ying as fish on a cutting board, ready to be carved up at their will.

Lin Chen's gaze shifted to behind a steel plate, speaking calmly, "Tan Shan, since you're here, no need for hide-and-seek. You want my life, right? Come and take it yourself!"

The four little dragons were laughing uncontrollably, but at Lin Chen's words, they froze, looking at him incredulously. How did he know someone was hiding there? It was truly devilish.
