Du Kongting radiated a domineering aura and was no longer the smiling gentleman in front of others; he had no idea what Ling Zhenfei would say.

Ling Zhenfei didn't pay any attention to Du Kongting and started speaking.

"You all think that you know Du Kongting, but what you see is only the surface. Now, let me introduce you to President Du, Du Kongting."

Du Kongting and Lin Zhengnan, President Lin, were childhood friends who grew up together. They studied together, served in the military together, and later went into business together, eventually building today's Lin's Group, which dominates the Binyang business world.

Although the Lin's Group's assets belonged to Lin Zhengnan, he never treated Du Kongting as an outsider. Not only did he appoint Du Kongting as the vice president of the group, but he also gave him ten percent of the shares. In addition, all the expenses for Du Kongting's son, Du Shaowei, to study abroad were covered by Lin Zhengnan. Lin Zhengnan highly trusted Du Shaowei and planned to marry him to his daughter once he returned to China.

Comrades, I think President Lin has done enough, but what about our President Du, Du Kongting? He was not satisfied, he felt he had received too little, so he thought of a way to take over Lin's Group, which was to have Lin Zhengnan killed."

"What are you saying, Lin's death is related to Du Kongting?"

Everyone was shocked to hear Ling Zhenfei's words, especially Lin Yuluo. Although he had his suspicions, he couldn't be certain. He did not expect that Ling Zhenfei would reveal it this time.

"Du Kongting planned at least two attempts to kill Lin Zhengnan. The first was in the woods of Qinghe Village, where, unexpectedly, I stumbled upon it and saved President Lin. But the second time, President Lin was killed by Tan Shaojie. Tan Shaojie had no grudge against President Lin, so why would he kill him? It might be hard to understand for everyone, but if we say that it was specifically ordered by President Du, doesn't that make sense?"

"Ling Zhenfei, shut your mouth, this is all your personal speculation, there's no real evidence. Pissing on my neck as if I'm so easy to bully, if you don't present evidence today, I won't let you leave this hall."

Du Kongting was furious with embarrassment. What was being disclosed was all true; his devious actions were being publicly aired, and anyone would be enraged and humiliated by such exposure.

No sooner had Du Kongting finished speaking than seven or eight men rushed forward, surrounding Ling Zhenfei. It looked like they intended to physically attack Ling Zhenfei.

"You want evidence? I'll give you evidence right now!"

A loud voice rang out, and the doors of the hall were immediately opened. Everyone turned to look at the entrance and saw a group of police officers rushing in from outside, surrounding the entire hall.

Everyone was shocked, not understanding what was happening and why so many police officers had arrived. There was some confusion in the hall, and naturally, Du Kongting was the most disordered. It seemed he realized something at that moment; he lost his previous composure and slumped into a chair, looking like a completely different person, utterly dispirited.

"What are you police doing here? Can the police just barge into someone else's company like this?"

Liu Yang evidently hadn't grasped the situation yet and, in an attempt to defend Du Kongting, lashed out at Guo Qing'an right off the bat.

"The police do not have the right to just barge into someone else's company, but the police can go anywhere to catch criminals."

Guo Qing'an spoke clearly and forcefully, his bright eyes staring straight at Du Kongting, who was seated in the chair, waiting to see if the mastermind of this conspiracy had anything to say.

"What evidence do you have?"

Du Kongting suddenly stood up, furious, still wanting to struggle. He couldn't believe his perfect plan had failed—it was Master Nangong's strategy, after all. How could Master Nangong's strategy possibly fail?

Guo Qing'an couldn't believe it; Du Xianting still wanted to struggle at this point. He smiled and said, "Du Kongting, you really don't shed tears until you see the coffin, do you? Since you want evidence, I will give you evidence."

As he spoke, Guo Qing'an glanced back at Han Lian. Han Lian nodded, stepped out for a moment, and then brought someone in.

This person was about forty years old, skinny and sharp, looking very astute. When Du Kongting saw this person, his expression visibly changed. Even though he acted indifferent, he no longer had the same momentum as before.

"Du Kongting, I think you should recognize this person, right?"

"Who is this person? I don't know him," Du Kongting responded, twisting his head and pretending not to look at the man.

"Big brother, I am Zhang Long. I'm sorry. The goods, as soon as they entered Binyang, were seized. All our brothers were caught. I'm so sorry, big brother. I have to earn a reduced sentence by making merits, so I could only confess. I'm sorry, big brother. You should stop denying the inevitable; it's all over."

Following this man's words, Du Kongting collapsed to the ground. He knew his life was over; despite all his calculations, he never expected to end up like this.

"Du Kongting was actually trafficking drugs; it's hard to believe."

"Such wild ambition, it's frightening to think what Lin's Group would have become if it had fallen into his hands."

"Fortunately, Ling Zhenfei's intervention prevented that from happening. Otherwise, Lin's Group would have become an even bigger joke."

The shareholders whispered amongst themselves, all unable to believe that Du Kongting was involved in drug trafficking. Everyone knew Du Kongting was a cunning old fox, but it was hard to associate him with drug traffickers. The truth was unbelievable to them.

"Do you really think Du Kongting is just a drug trafficker? You're underestimating him. His deeds could make a TV series that would run for a hundred and twenty episodes. We've also found that Du Kongting is suspected of manipulating stocks. The abnormal plummet of Lin's Group's stocks these past few days has all been orchestrated by him."

"So, he was the one manipulating it! I was saying, Lin's Group's stocks are always very resilient; how could they plummet so fast unless someone was tampering."

"Indeed, I suspected foul play all along. I just didn't expect it to be him. It's so hard to guard against a thief within the family."

"Our police have just recently searched Du Kongting's villa and discovered a large amount of evidence there that proves Du Kongting had very close dealings with Tan Shaojie, the murderer of Lin Zhengnan. Coupled with our previous interrogation of Tan Shaojie, we can confidently assert that Du Xianting is the mastermind behind Lin Zhengnan's murder!"

"It was really you. To think my father treated you so well, yet you sought to harm him. You're scum."

When the police announced that Du Kongting was the killer of Lin Zhengnan, Lin Yuluo could no longer contain her emotions. She rushed forward to tear at Du Kongting's clothes and was pulled away by two police officers, but Lin Yuluo completely lost control. The officers couldn't stop her, until Ling Zhenfei tightly held her in his arms and carried her out of the conference room.

Lin Yuluo lay in Ling Zhenfei's arms, sobbing uncontrollably. Although Ling Zhenfei had told her about Du Kongting's suspicions early on and Lin Yuluo had some doubts, when everything was confirmed, it was still extremely hard for her to bear.
