At this moment, Yang Yi sat in the commercial headquarters of the Black God Gang, poring over the documents in his hands. The Lin family: the commercial titan of A City, managing no less than twenty subsidiaries under its umbrella. Their primary business revolved around handicrafts and small home appliances, supplemented by holdings in hotels. Their total assets soared to 2.5 billion. In A City, no, in the entirety of Jiangsu Province, the Lin family could certainly be counted among the local magnates.

The Lin family’s main holding company was called Lin Corporation Limited. Its General Manager was 'Lin Tian.' In the business circles of Jiangsu Province, almost no one was unfamiliar with him. However, most people were also well aware that he had some connection with the A City Provincial Party Secretary (I must interject here: this so-called A City Provincial Party Secretary is a fabrication by the author to avoid political conflict. It is crucial to understand that the A City Provincial Party Secretary is distinct from the Jiangsu Provincial Party Secretary; misunderstanding this point would be regrettable.) Shaking off such trivialities, Yang Yi slowly flipped through the documents, then stood up, turning toward the floor-to-ceiling window. He drew the curtains, gazing out at the scenery, his thoughts meandering into unknown territory.

It was at this juncture that Han Zhong entered from outside, calling out, "Dragon Lord, everything has been done as you commanded!"

"Oh? And the results?" A slight grin played on Yang Yi's lips as he turned his head to look at him.

"Based on our current assessment, it's proceeding stably. However, this subordinate has one point of confusion." Han Zhong looked puzzled.

"Heh heh, go ahead and speak," Yang Yi chuckled.

"I don't understand why the Dragon Lord places such great importance on the Lin Corporation. Wouldn't a direct acquisition suffice?" Han Zhong was perplexed. Although the Lin Corporation was currently thriving, in terms of capital and strength, it couldn't compare to the current Black God Gang, especially after absorbing the two major powers of A City.

"Never underestimate anyone. Sometimes, it’s the most ordinary individual who can drag you to your doom. Lin Tian openly shows off his connection with the A City Provincial Party Secretary, but behind the scenes, Lin Tian himself is a notable figure. His management systems for major enterprises, sales strategies, and more—he handles them all excellently. One could say he is a business genius. The reason I am proceeding this way is to resolve several issues. Furthermore, in this world, nobody ever tires of having more money. The funds currently held by the Black God Gang are far from sufficient for our development. Therefore, I need someone to send money to me," Yang Yi said with a sinister smile.

It must be said that the appearance of those two assassins had given Yang Yi an epiphany: money. Vast amounts of money were needed to expand his influence. While the Black God Gang's current capital could rival five Lin Corporations, what harm was there in having another one? It could be fully exploited. For this reason, Yang Yi had already set his sights firmly on the Lin family's wealth.

The reason Yang Yi was acquiring assets piecemeal instead of a direct takeover was also deliberate. Lin Hai had provoked him repeatedly; thus, Yang Yi naturally could not let him off easily. Either don't play the game, or play it big enough to crush him—no, to be precise, to crush the entire Lin family. After all, every single subsidiary of the Lin family was already slowly being eroded by the Black God Gang, whether through stock manipulation, declining revenues, or comprehensive suppression targeting the entire company structure.

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of Lin Corporation Limited.

Lin Tian sat in his office, the door tightly shut and the curtains drawn completely closed. Although his eyes were fixed on a small mirror on his desk, as if something immensely captivating held his gaze, what was truly perplexing was that the man was occasionally gasping loudly and letting out soft 'Ohs,' while underneath his desk, a faint 'Sizz, sizz!' sound could be heard.

"Ugh, darling, push harder," Lin Tian suddenly gasped out. "Mmm, yes, just like that. Add a little more, just a little more."

Beneath the desk, a woman, her face flushed crimson, was struggling to thread a thin electrical wire into a socket hole. Yet, she couldn't seem to get it in, perhaps because the wire was too flimsy, occasionally causing the 'sizz, sizz' sound. It turned out this woman was Lin Tian’s secretary. After the President summoned her to the office earlier, he had asked her to help him thread the wire into the hole. She initially thought nothing of it, but listening to her boss's increasingly ambiguous moans from below made her face burn scarlet.

In reality, she had no idea that she was currently akin to prey being spied upon. On Lin Tian’s desk lay a mirror with a peculiar design. From above, it appeared to be nothing more than a wooden slab, but looking from below, one could see a shocking glimpse of light—the faintly visible, scarlet forbidden zone between the legs, and two peaks that inspired crime rising and falling incessantly.

Lin Tian felt his throat turn dry. The desk was indeed designed in a peculiar manner: whether the female secretary was above it or below it, Lin Tian could almost see her intimate view. There were mechanisms beneath the desk, leaving no doubt that Lin Tian was a depraved man who enjoyed voyeurism.

"General Manager, I can't get it through," the female secretary finally exclaimed, unable to bear the strain, shifting slightly to the left in frustration.

Lin Tian heard her and realized it was futile. He took a book from the left side of the desk and placed it over the mirror, just enough to obscure it. He said to the secretary, "Hmm, never mind. I'll just call the technician later to handle it."

"Hmph, you old lecher! You should have asked someone else to do it sooner instead of forcing me," the female secretary thought, thoroughly despising Lin Tian.

In fact, she had heard rumors early on: any female colleague with a modicum of attractiveness working in this company had nearly all engaged in similar acts. She was only reluctantly complying because she didn't want to lose her job. After emerging from under the desk, the secretary quickly said, "General Manager, in that case, I'll take my leave and call the technician to fix it!"

"Oh, no need. I'll make the call myself later!" Lin Tian certainly didn't want his devious plan to be ruined.

"Very well, I shall return to my work then!" The secretary quickly scurried out, holding her contempt in check.

Lin Tian stared with a lecherous grin at the departing figure of the secretary and muttered to himself, "Damn, that felt good!"

And precisely at that moment...

"General Manager! General Manager! Something terrible has happened..."
