Twelve computers filled the room, giving off a hacker vibe.

Snake Swallowing Whale stood at the door, very satisfied, eyes shining: "There are actually twelve supercomputers, who's so thoughtful?"

"It was President Ouyang and Brother Lin who ordered them," said Yu Tianlin.

"Hehe, Prince Yu, actually I'm half a hacker myself. Recently, I had a showdown with the Rose Fire Emperor from Russia; she promised that if she lost, she'd video chat with me."

"Rose Fire Emperor?" Lin Hai just happened to come by and was surprised upon hearing this name.

"Eh?" Snake Swallowing Whale turned his head, curiously examining Lin Hai, feeling a sense of kinship with him, his geekiness had a unique flair.

"You know about the Rose Fire Emperor?" Snake Swallowing Whale asked curiously.

"I do, she's a bit like an arctic fire rose, quite prickly. You've got to be careful, lad; she's quite skilled and sometimes takes on private jobs."

The so-called private jobs refer to independent assassins taking on individual assignments.

"Eh? You seem to know quite a lot about the Rose Fire Emperor, who are you?"

Huo Hao took the initiative to come over and greeted Lin Hai: "Hi Brother Lin."

"You're the legendary Brother Lin?" Snake Swallowing Whale sized him up with curiosity.

It was said that Brother Lin was awesome. Huo Hao indirectly revealed that he was now the unofficial ruler of Huadu's underworld.

"Mr. Snake, I've long heard of your reputation," Lin Hai said politely.

"Haha, Brother Lin, want to join me for an erotic massage tonight?"

"Uh, my wife won't let me."

Mr. Snake nodded inwardly, genuine and honest, someone he could be friends with.

"I'll have to trouble Mr. Snake with the upcoming matters."

Ouyang Xiaoya also came over, taking out a stack of thick files: "This is all the information on Zhaoda Company, everything we could find is here. We're counting on you."

"No problem, you can rest assured President Ouyang, it's rare for us brothers to meet financial experts."

Snake Swallowing Whale envied Lin Hai for a moment; how did he snag such a beautiful goddess? If he could sleep with her once, he'd willingly shell out millions.

Actually, this was just the way Snake Swallowing Whale was; it didn't matter how much he spent, as long as he liked something and was willing, because to him, money was just a number.

"Brother Lin, President Ouyang, tonight we'll get familiar with the material, and we'll start dealing with it secretly tomorrow. We'll also help check the security level of Mingya's finances and collect some criminal evidence on our opponent," said Huo Hao.

Lin Hai nodded, and took the initiative with Ouyang Xiaoya to go downstairs and buy coffee for everyone.

"Lin Hai, you did well this time," Ouyang Xiaoya was in a much better mood.

"Hehe, CEO, you're my future wife, your money is my money. Seeing someone trying to take our money away, I've got to use some tricks to show them. If they dare bite into our cake, they better be prepared to lose some teeth."

Ouyang Xiaoya rolled her eyes, damn Beast, such unappealing words.

Arriving at the coffee shop downstairs, Lin Hai suddenly spotted an acquaintance.

"Eh? Ozawa girl!"

"Xiaocang?!" Ouyang Xiaoya immediately raised her guard, the name too easily associated with unhealthy thoughts.

This damn Beast seems to have plenty of dalliances outside!

A beautiful figure turned her head, saw it was Lin Hai, and was utterly surprised: "Mr. Lin, you... you got out?"

Lin Hai's mouth twitched, what did she mean he got out.

"Lin Hai, what does that mean?" Ouyang Xiaoya asked curiously.

"Eh, CEO, have you forgotten the time I was locked up in the detention center? It was when I beat up that foreigner."

Ouyang Xiaoya nodded; she remembered that incident and was quite worried at the time. Zhang Shenxu had deliberately tried to slap heavier charges on Lin Hai, but in the end, the whole matter got somewhat confusingly settled.

"The doctor I met in the detention center, Xiaocang."

Hearing this, Ouyang Xiaoya's alertness relaxed, having assumed Xiaocang was some kind of jailbird heroine, thinking that Beast Lin couldn't resist flirting even when he was behind bars.

"Speaking of which, I wasn't feeling well at that time, and it was Doctor Xiaocang who helped me with treatment."

Xiaocang, reminded of that "full-body" check-up, couldn't help but blush demurely, shyly batting her beautiful eyelashes.

"By the way, Miss Xiaocang, are you also here to buy coffee?"

Upon hearing Lin Hai's question, Xiaocang stuttered, not knowing quite how to explain. She's quite an innocent girl by nature, not adept at deceiving or lying.

"I, I'm actually not here to buy coffee."

"I'm hiding from bad people."

Upon hearing this, Lin Hai immediately said, "Don't be afraid, Miss. In the past, I specialized in dealing with all kinds of dissenters."

"Lin Hai, I'm also not convinced. Why don't you deal with me?" Ouyang Xiaoya provocatively asked.

Lin Hai's bravado instantly deflated, pleading with pathetic eyes: "CEO, you've been dealing with me for over ten years."

"Hmph, sweet talker." After that, she turned to Xiaocang and asked, "Little sister, do you want us to call the police?"

Xiaocang's face turned awkward upon hearing 'call the police', shaking her head, "Let's not, there are many people here, the bad guys probably won't dare do anything."

Her words seemed to hint at something hidden, but as she didn't wish to elaborate, the two of them didn't pry further.

"Miss, I'll treat you to the coffee today, just hang on for a second, I'll go buy it."

Lin Hai queued up to buy coffee while Ouyang Xiaoya chatted with Xiaocang, casually trying to find out if Beast Lin had been behaving in the detention center, and if he'd stirred up any trouble with the ladies. She was now beginning to "evolve" into a professional girlfriend.

With a crash, the café door was kicked open, and over ten ragtag individuals strode in, their gaze fierce.

"Who are you people! We're open for business!" A male waiter in the coffee shop frowned and asked.

One effeminate-looking man pushed the waiter aside.

Just as the waiter was about to scold him, he heard the other man say ominously, "Third son of Chen family is handling business here; all unrelated folks better not seek trouble."

All at once, the bustle in the café died down, everyone becoming as meek as kittens.

Lin Hai, holding three cups of coffee, was stunned. Who was this Third son of Chen family and why did it seem like his words were so effective?

Ouyang Xiaoya furrowed her brows; she had always been around Huadu and wasn't like Lin Hai who had come halfway along the journey and wouldn't understand.

When it comes to the Su Family of Huadu, people who either came to work for a few years or were born and raised there would know of Su Zhentian's renown.

In fact, there are two powerful families in Huadu: the Su Family, and the Chen Family.

It's just that the Chen Family keeps a very low profile; aside from the locals, outsiders rarely have any clarity about them.

And the Chen Family is mentioned in the same breath as the Su Family.

People averted their eyes from the feminine young man's gaze.

"As expected, she's here. Let's see where you can run to now."

"Grab her!"

The effeminate man pointed at Miss Xiaocang with an extended hand.

Miss Xiaocang, already pale with fright, cowered in a corner like a startled rabbit about to be devoured by a big bad wolf.

Seeing several burly men charging towards her, she closed her eyes in despair, resigning to her fate.
