Chapter 0008: A Win-Win Situation

"We will not allow you to kill anyone either," Lin Mengjie said with a smile, indicating that Ye Qing was easing up.

Elder Yang Wuwu, with a blank expression, said: "What do you mean?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Laowu was immediately overjoyed and repeatedly said: "Brother Ye, you can rest assured. Although I, Yang Laowu, come from a background of rogues, I value integrity above all else. I will never go back on my word!"

"This person with the surname Ye is only capable of fighting. Does he have the ability to find a hired gun?" The bearded man retorted, "Perhaps that hired gun has already fled the county. Where is he supposed to look?"

Old Yang nodded slowly and said, "That's right, you are absolutely correct"

Indeed! Old Yang Wu said with frustration: "This is a project of the county, and no one can stop it. Right now, we are negotiating with your family. If we cannot reach an agreement, the county will intervene, and that will be troublesome."

"What does this have to do with me?" Ye Qing said coldly

Old Yang Wuwu did not dare to speak; since his rise to prominence, no one had ever dared to treat him this way. However, after a trip to the gates of hell today, he was truly frightened

I will not kill!" Ye Qing said coldly

Ye Qing furrowed his brows tightly, remaining silent this time

Old Yang Wu pondered for a moment and said, "However, he is about to head south soon, so even if I wanted to draw him closer, it would likely be difficult."

After speaking, Lin Mengjie smiled gently and said: "I know that Mr. Ye, you are a filial person. The matter concerning your younger brother is indeed important, but we cannot neglect family matters, can we?"

Whether he can find it or not is his business, but since he has taken on this matter, he will certainly not allow anything to happen to Brother Wu. Therefore, before he finds the gunman, he will continue to protect Brother Wu's safety. Lin Mengjie said with a faint smile, "Moreover, Brother Wu's business will only grow larger in the future. The competition in the business world will also increase, and it is hard to guarantee that similar incidents won't occur. Brother Wu, I believe you really need an expert like him by your side." The competition in the business world will also increase, and it is hard to guarantee that similar incidents won't occur. Brother Wu, I believe you really need an expert like him by your side.

Lin Mengjie quickly shook her head: "No, I absolutely did not mean that. Fifth Brother is here as well; if you don't believe me, you can ask Fifth Brother!"

Here, just after the driver sent off Ye Qing, a subordinate approached Yang Laowu and whispered, "Fifth Brother, this person with the surname Ye is really too ungrateful. You show him such respect, yet he acts all high and mighty, it's simply outrageous!"

Lin Mengjie said: "Mr. Ye, as long as you can help Fifth Brother with one thing, then after the new district is completed, Fifth Brother can give your family a house, a house in the newly built community!"

Oh, then... I will have the driver take you there. Yang Laowu called the driver and instructed him to take Ye Qing to the scene of the incident

Brother Wu, a few years ago your business was not large, and it was relatively good in the county town. Occasionally, some enemies would come looking for you, but they were just a few cowardly and incompetent thugs, unable to stir up much trouble. However, in the past two years, your business has expanded, and the situation is no longer the same. Lin Mengjie said: "Just like this incident, the construction of the new urban area is such a large project, involving several hundred million. There are definitely many people who see you, Brother Wu, as a thorn in their side. The gunman who came this time might very well be a professional killer sent by someone. This time, we can use Ye Qing to find this killer, and we can also uncover the mastermind behind it. From a certain perspective, this not only ensures your safety, Brother Wu, but also deters some people, making them think twice before acting rashly!"

"No need for that," Ye Qing waved his hand. "I should go find that assassin first. If I wait any longer, I fear he might leave the county."

Mr. Ye, please do not be angry, let me explain slowly. Lin Mengjie said: "In fact, this shooting incident is very clear; the assassin was targeting Brother Wu."

Lin Mengjie saw Ye Qing here and immediately responded: "Mr. Ye, the compensation determined by the county this time is based on the building area. Your family's house is large, but the building area is too small, so the compensation will not be substantial. When the demolition occurs, the compensation amount will definitely not be enough to purchase a new house. At that time, where will your family of several live?"

Ye Qing furrowed her brows and said, "Are you threatening me?"

Ye Qing said coldly: "If there is no money to be made, one can rent a house to live in first. My brother's matter cannot be delayed!"

What you need to do is very simple. All you have to do is help the police find the killer from today. Based on this killer, the police will be able to trace the mastermind behind it, thus resolving the current crisis faced by Brother Wu. Lin Mengjie said with a faint smile: "By helping Brother Wu with this matter, it will not take up much of your time, and it can also solve your family's housing problem. Furthermore, Brother Wu's issue will be resolved as well. Lastly, I can guarantee that your younger sister, Yuan Xiaoyu, will definitely become one of the mid-level leaders in Blue Bay!"

"Beards, that's not how to say it," Lin Mengjie shook her head and looked at Yang Laowu, saying, "Brother Wu, I actually think this person should be befriended."

Listening to this, Yang Laowu was also greatly pleased, nodding repeatedly: "This idea is excellent, Brother Ye. I assure you here that as long as you accomplish this task and the new district is completed, I will immediately provide your family with the largest house, over 150 square meters. If you are worried that my words may not hold, I can give you cash instead. Having money in hand, you can buy a house when the time comes!"

This is the last time, I hope you will not disturb me again in the future!" Ye Qing said in a deep voice, already feeling somewhat angry

Ye Qing fell silent for a moment, then looked at Yang Laowu and said: "There is no need for the money; just remember what you said. It is sufficient that this house can be registered under my father's name"

"What method?" Yang Laowu immediately raised his head, feeling quite anxious

Old Yang Wuwu is slightly pleased, this matter is of great importance, and Ye Qing cannot possibly overlook it

He thought that money could buy everything. However, he later realized that life is far more valuable than money

Hmm? Yang Laowu was taken aback, and Lin Mengjie waved her hand at him, prompting Yang Laowu to immediately fall silent again. In fact, a house is not worth much; what matters most is to preserve one's life

Ye Qing looked at Lin Mengjie, remained silent for a moment, and said: "Speak!"

Upon seeing Ye Qing walk out of the room, Yang Laowu immediately seemed to lose all his strength and slumped onto the sofa. With Ye Qing gone, his safety was no longer guaranteed

Ye Qing displayed an expression of impatience, wondering if it was truly impossible to have this meal at home tonight

"Fifth Brother, I will first invite Mr. Ye back, and then we can discuss slowly," Lin Mengjie hurriedly walked out of the room and invited Ye Qing, who was about to leave the courtyard, back in.

Old Yang showed a pleased expression and nodded, saying: "Not bad, not bad, Xiao Zhao, you have thought this through very well. Indeed, in recent years my business has been expanding increasingly, and the people around me are truly becoming insufficient. This person, no matter what, must be brought over!"

Lin Mengjie said: "Mr. Ye, I admire you for this. However, there is now a win-win solution. Would you like to hear about it?"

Let us discuss the construction project of the new urban area, which is related to you, Mr. Ye. Lin Mengjie said: "Mr. Ye, in fact, your residence is within the scope of the new urban area construction and is part of the key planning area. I understand that our compensation plan has not met your expectations, which is why such a misunderstanding occurred today. However, Mr. Ye, I want to inform you that this new urban area construction project is a key project of the county, and no one can obstruct the progress of this project." I understand that our compensation plan has not met your expectations, which is why such a misunderstanding occurred today. However, Mr. Ye, I want to inform you that this new urban area construction project is a key project of the county, and no one can obstruct the progress of this project.

Indeed, indeed. Lin Mengjie quickened her pace and said: "In our small county town, such heinous incidents are rare. Moreover, I suspect that the assailants this time are professional killers. The scale of their actions is quite evident; the reason is very clear, it is the construction project that Brother Wu is currently undertaking, the new urban area development project"

Old Yang smiled and said: "You can rest assured about this, I will contact them over there, and when the time comes, you can just go directly. By the way, Auntie, please stir-fry a couple of dishes, Brother Ye, let's have a couple of drinks..."

"How long can he stay in the south?" Lin Mengjie laughed and said, "He goes to the south, and there are only two possible outcomes. After a while, if he can't be found and his money runs out, he will come back by himself. Or, if he finds someone, he will return even faster. No matter when he comes back, as long as you, Fifth Brother, can make him grateful to you, he will definitely do things for you. I estimate that if he can find a gunman this time, he will be able to deter some people, and for at least one or two years, no one will dare to target Fifth Brother again.

I estimate that if he can find a gunman this time, he will be able to deter some people, and for at least one or two years, no one will dare to target Fifth Brother again. In this one or two years, he will definitely have returned from the south!"

That's good! Ye Qing nodded and said, "However, it might not be appropriate for me to interfere with the police investigation."

"Enough of the nonsense, can you get to the point?" Yang Laowu said anxiously, as he noticed Ye Qing's impatience and feared that Ye Qing might leave.

Lin Mengjie glanced at Yang Laowu and said softly, "Fifth Brother, I actually have a compromise solution."
