Lin Chen looked around and smiled faintly, "Everyone, is there anything else you want to say?"

At this moment, a young man with a scar on his face stood up, looking at Lin Chen with disdain.

"Kid, I don't know what your background is, nor do I know who appointed you as the acting leader. In West City, I, Scarface, only respect Brother Xiong." Scarface snorted coldly.

Lin Chen looked at Scarface, a faint smile slid across his lips, "I don't care if you respect me or not, but I'm telling you that military orders are as unshakable as mountains. I hope you all won't make it difficult for me. If anyone disobeys the military orders, I don't care who they are or what credentials they have, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Lin Chen's tone was very calm, yet a cold aura emanated from him.

Lin Chen glanced at everyone present and said lightly, "I'll give everyone a day to prepare a work summary for the year. Seven o'clock this evening, right here, I want to hear everyone's report. That's it. Meeting adjourned."

Scarface glared at Lin Chen, pulled out his chair, and turned to leave.

Wu Xiong smiled insincerely at Lin Chen, "Captain Lin, there's a coordination meeting in the city tonight, I may not be able to make it, so I'm asking for leave in advance."

Lin Chen knew exactly what Wu Xiong was thinking, he smiled, "Captain Wu, go ahead, leave this to me."

"By the way, how's the interrogation of Hei Feng going?" Lin Chen asked casually.

"Sigh, that guy has been tough. We've used many instruments on him, but he stubbornly refuses to open his mouth." Wu Xiong sighed.

Lin Chen nodded, "Is that so, I understand. Don't worry, I'll make him talk."

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Wu Xiong trembled slightly, "Then we'll rely on you, Captain Lin. By the way, a while ago, he was tortured so severely that he fell into a coma and is still recovering in the hospital."

Lin Chen smiled faintly, "That's easy, I'm the best at treating injuries."

In the office, Lin Chen played mobile games, looking quite relaxed.

However, Xin Xiaoqi did not share Lin Chen's calm demeanor.

"Hey, you guy, you still have the heart to play here? I've received news that those guys plan to give you a hard time tonight, nobody's going to attend the meeting." Xin Xiaoqi said angrily.

Lin Chen's eyes remained on the screen, smiling faintly, "They'll come."

"Humph, I can't be bothered with you, let's see what you'll do with just the two of us in an empty room."

Lin Chen smiled faintly, glancing at the clock, "There's still an hour before the meeting."

"Of course, but they've already communicated privately that no one is coming." Xin Xiaoqi said helplessly.

Lin Chen laughed, "Now you send out a notification. According to the intel, there's a traitor within the Dragon Squad, and corruption is serious. At the meeting, attendees can report each other. Reporting or proactively confessing offenses will not be held against them. If a person is absent and still gets exposed or found with issues, they'll be sent directly to the military tribunal."

"Do you really have intel?" Xin Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment.

"Of course not." Lin Chen shook his head.

"Are you trying to scare them?" Xin Xiaoqi was taken aback.

Lin Chen nodded, "Wu Xiong himself has issues, so his subordinates are certainly problematic too. If you do nothing wrong, you fear no ghost knocking at your door. With all their misdeeds, I believe they'll be guilty enough to feel nervous."

Xin Xiaoqi nodded, promptly going to send the notification.

The meeting time arrived quickly, and sure enough, those who originally agreed not to come trickled into the meeting room one by one.

These people weren't exactly united and each had their own problems.

Lin Chen had said that reporting previous issues wouldn't be held against them, so what if they skipped the meeting and got exposed?

At seven o'clock sharp, the meeting room was already full.

Lin Chen smiled, speaking to Xin Xiaoqi: "Is everyone here?"

"Except for Deputy Captain Wu Xiong and Deputy Captain Zhang, no one is missing." Xin Xiaoqi replied.

Zhang, was none other than Zhang Tian, Scarface who sat beside Wu Xiong.

Lin Chen nodded and asked, "Have you notified everyone?"

"Yes, notifications were sent out." Xin Xiaoqi said.

"Captain Lin, Deputy Captain Zhang said he has diarrhea today and asked me to excuse him." A fat man stood up and said.

Lin Chen glanced at the nameplate and said calmly, "No excuses, you go bring him here."

Indeed, Zhang Tian wasn't really suffering from diarrhea but rather disdained Lin Chen.

Originally, he had gathered quite a few people to snub Lin Chen today, but he didn't expect Lin Chen's tactic to scare the insecure people into attending the meeting.

Zhang Tian was furious; others were scared off, but he decided to play tough and resolved not to attend the meeting.

Upon hearing Lin Chen's order to summon Zhang Tian, Li Dafu's face turned a bit ugly.

"What, didn't you hear me?" Lin Chen's voice turned cold.

Li Dafu's body slightly trembled, he quickly nodded, "I'll go and get him now."

With that, Li Fu hurriedly left his seat and ran into the corridor to call Zhang Tian, "Deputy Captain Zhang, you'd better come. This kid is hard to deal with, he said no excuses for you."

"I'm not going today, what's he gonna do to me?" Zhang Tian roared arrogantly over the phone.

Li Dafu hung up, his face troubled, wandered around the restroom, and finally returned to the meeting room.

Lin Chen glanced behind Li Dafu, coldly asked, "Where's the person?"

Li Dafu awkwardly smiled, "Captain Lin, Deputy Captain Zhang really doesn't feel well, he's lying in bed and can't get up."

"Can't get up? Easy, take some people and carry him here." Lin Chen said calmly.

"Carry him here." Li Dafu's mouth twitched.

Everyone watched the scene, no one dared to speak.

Li Dafu awkwardly said, "Captain Lin, can't you send someone else to invite him? I'm really unable to bring him."

"Unable to bring him? Easy, two hundred push-ups, not a single one less." Lin Chen snorted coldly.

"Two hundred push-ups?" Li Dafu's face changed drastically.

Li Dafu is a staff officer who rarely exercises; two hundred push-ups could nearly kill him.

But thinking if he went to invite Zhang Tian, the outcome might be worse, he finally decided that he might as well do the push-ups.

Li Dafu lay on the ground and began doing push-ups.

In no time, Li Dafu was already panting heavily, after two hundred push-ups, he was so exhausted he almost couldn't get up from the ground, and finally, two people helped him up.

Seeing Li Dafu's miserable state made others shiver, praying silently that Lin Chen wouldn't make them invite Zhang Tian, but Lin Chen certainly didn't intend to let them off the hook.

Zhou Bing, Wang De Long, Li Weishan, Zhang Dahai, you four go and carry Deputy Captain Zhang over here.

Lin Chen called out several names, these people were Wu Xiong's loyalists and had good relations with Zhang Tian.

The four heard, baring their teeth in distress; they knew Scarface Zhang Tian's temper well. Disobeying him to attend the meeting had already made Zhang Tian furious; if they provoked this demon further, they would surely get cursed heavily.

"Captain, we might not be able too," the four said, faces filled with gloom.

"Oh, this Deputy Captain Zhang seems extraordinary, you're scared of him to this extent." Lin Chen sneered.
