Ling Zhenfei thwarted Du Kongting's many conspiracies to seize Lin's Group, it could be said that as long as Ling Zhenfei did not meddle, he would have succeeded halfway. Therefore, Mr. Nangong tried every means to transfer Ling Zhenfei away from Binyang.

However, what he didn't expect was that even after Ling Zhenfei had gone to the Provincial City, Mr. Nangong, who had found two groups to delay him, still couldn't hold Ling Zhenfei back. So as soon as Ling Zhenfei arrived in Binyang, a plan was immediately put into action to catch someone at a police station. The plan should have been foolproof, but it overlooked the fact that among the people Ling Zhenfei knew, one was the chief of the Public Security Bureau.

"Director Guo, it seems this matter is still related to Du Kongting."

Upon hearing the name Du Kongting, Guo Qing'an frowned. He was obviously too familiar with this name. The last drug case was related to Du Kongting, it was just that there was no conclusive evidence.

"Don't worry, the police have already obtained enough clues in the drug trafficking case. Du Kongting definitely will not get away with it. If it weren't for wanting to catch the bigger fish, I would have arrested that old bastard long ago."

"Then do you think this Mr. Nangong is that bigger fish you're talking about?"

"Impossible, Wu Tong is just a petty criminal, cunning and devious, unrelated to the drug traffickers. As long as the price is right, he will devise schemes for anyone. However, since there's an intention to go against Lin's Group, maybe the big fish has already arrived in Binyang. Perhaps today, its tail will be exposed."

"Director Guo, it looks like you need to be prepared. Today definitely won't be an ordinary day."

"You can rest assured, I have everything arranged."

At this time, Binyang City was still in slumber, with only the neon lights twinkling on the skyscrapers. However, in an upscale villa within Binyang City, the lights were already on.

In the heart of the city, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, to have such a villa area could be said to be astonishing. Of course, only those immensely wealthy could live here, including Du Kongting.

This villa was one of Du Kongting's properties. He was now sitting in his spacious living room, looking at the stars in the sky through a large floor-to-ceiling window. His eyes sparkled with an unusual light, as if an excitement was about to burst forth.

"President Du, the news is here. Ling Zhenfei has been confirmed to be detained, claiming he was being loud and obstructing official duties at the police station."

A young man dressed in a black suit approached Du Kongting and whispered, as if afraid of disturbing Du Kongting's elegance.

A smile appeared on the corner of Du Kongting's mouth, seemingly very satisfied with the outcome.

"Is the media ready?"

"The media is all set, the drafts and news are prepared. Just a word from you, sir, and tomorrow's newspapers and morning news will deliver a fatal blow to Ling Zhenfei."

The young man's voice also carried a hint of excitement. He was extremely respectful toward Du Kongting, his emotions seemingly synchronized with Du Kongting's.

"What about Tianhe Group?"

"Tianhe Group is also prepared; they will send people to storm Xishan Manor first thing tomorrow morning, reducing it to ruins. The media is in place too. The news headline will read: 'People poisoned by mutated vegetables razed Xishan Manor out of anger, satisfying public sentiment,' and it will probably make the front page."

Du Kongting nodded in satisfaction, recalling how he had been humiliated by Ling Zhenfei on several occasions and had wished he could smash Ling Zhenfei to ashes.

He had shared this idea with Mr. Nangong, who replied that it was easy to kill a man, but making a man unable to live or die was even more satisfying. And so he conceived of a plan to cause Ling Zhenfei the greatest pain, by erasing his Xishan Manor from the face of the earth.

Thinking of Ling Zhenfei's tears after Xishan Manor's destruction, Du Kongting truly felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction, and his admiration for Mr. Nangong grew even more.

"Is everything else prepared?"

"All the people from headquarters have arrived. The board members have been under our special care; their every move has been under our surveillance. We've already given them a warning these past few days, and I estimate they're already under a lot of pressure. They'll definitely support us wholeheartedly tomorrow."

"What about Master Nangong, what's he doing?"

Du Kongting suddenly thought of the mastermind behind all this. Everything had been orchestrated by Master Nangong, who had set everything up like dominoes—a corporate struggle textbook case that made one can't help but applaud.

"Master Nangong has already gone to rest."

"This old man really knows how to enjoy himself. He arranges everything and then goes to sleep. I can't believe he can sleep at such a critical time."

"Yes President Du, Master Nangong is sleeping very soundly, he's even snoring."

"Um..."

Ling Zhenfei and Director Guo were at the Qinghe Police Station, working through the details on the blueprints, checking for any oversights to ensure nothing had been overlooked.

"We've already arranged for people to be around Du Kongting's house. We'll know immediately if there's any action there."

"I think he will call for a shareholders' vote just like last time. Has there been any change in Lin's Group's shares recently?"

Han Lian glanced at her notebook and said, "There's been a huge change in Lin's Group's shares these past few days. Du Kongting has been acquiring a significant amount of shares at very low prices. I estimate he's already secured about forty percent of the equity."

"These shareholders are selling off Lin's Group's shares at such low prices; there must be a reason behind it. It definitely has something to do with Du Kongting. Send someone to investigate immediately."

After hearing this, Director Guo started issuing orders. The Qinghe Police Station had essentially become a makeshift command center, with specialized personnel carrying out tasks efficiently upon command.

"Lin Yuluo is the Lin Family's only daughter, so her safety should be protected as much as possible."

Ling Zhenfei was somewhat worried when he thought of Lin Yuluo in the midst of all this change, wondering whether she was prepared for what's happening.

"Don't worry. Because we're monitoring Du Kongting, Lin Yuluo has already been under our police protection 24 hours a day."

Han Lian explained once more, and it seemed that she must have organized this operation herself.

"Then there's the Huo Tian Group. I'm afraid they won't refrain from causing trouble."

Thinking of the people who had been holding banners outside his manor today, Ling Zhenfei had a nagging concern. On such a critical day, could Huo Tian really stay inactive? He certainly didn't believe it.

"If he takes any action, that would be great. We've been worried about not having concrete evidence to catch him. If he dares to make a move tomorrow, we can trace it back and take down his lair."

Guo Qing'an was brimming with confidence, evidently believing that they were completely prepared.

Looking at the sky gradually lighting up outside the window, an intense battle was about to begin. The battle had visible fronts, and invisible ones, but regardless of the outcome, it was certain to bring about earth-shaking changes to Binyang City.
