Chapter 006: Overcast

Lin Shengwen quickly came over with a notebook. Under the gaze of Lin Yao, Lin Shengwu opened the official website of Central South University and soon found the graduation photo of the 2013 graduating class from the School of Political Science and Law on the forum of the official website.

This sudden spring rain disrupted the tranquility of early spring and also shattered the peace within his heart

Sheng Wuge, I graduated from Central South University, majoring in Law, and I graduated in 2013. After graduation, I worked at Huimin Law Firm in Xiguang for two and a half years

Lin Shengwu greeted Lin Yao while eating. After taking a few bites, he casually asked, "Ah Yao, I heard from Shengwen that you plan to come back. This is a good thing; the village is in need of manpower right now, and your return is just in time.

With him around, the first hurdle is already cleared

Lin Shengwu, resident of Tazhai Village, member of the Sanfang clan

Lin Yao came to his senses and said, "Hurry up and lead the way, your brother has returned with great difficulty, I need to have a drink with him this afternoon"

A Yao, you have arrived

Do it!

In the hall, only Lin Shengwu was present; Lin Shengwen's wife and children were not at home. It was unclear whether they had been sent away or were upstairs and had not come down.

Lin Yao shook the rainwater off his umbrella, placed the umbrella at the door, and cheerfully entered the hall

Li Weimin is reliable in handling affairs, and this photo is also quite beautifully edited; it is definitely the work of a skilled professional within the public security system

Lin Yao was taken aback and quickly said: "Brother Shengwu, I just came out of the law firm. If you have any questions, just ask me; there is no need to consult them."

Looking at the photo, where he is dressed in a bachelor's gown and wearing a cap, squeezed behind the crowd, Lin Yao let out a deep sigh of relief

A memory from the past, recalling the scene from ten years ago when he had not yet left Tazhai, where Lin Shengwu, as the elder among his peers, took them to the river to catch fish

The answer is negative; not to mention the tower village, even the three rooms he is currently in do not trust him.

Lin Yao couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this, saying: "Brother Shengwu, that statement is quite serious. We are all from the same family, and one stroke cannot write two 'Lin' characters. No one would remain indifferent in such a situation. Moreover, I am only a few years older than Shengwen, and we played together a lot when we were young. He calls me 'Yao Ge,' how could I not care for him?"

You mentioned that you graduated in 2013, so you have been working for about two to three years, right? What was your major before, and where did you work previously? Don't get me wrong, I'm just asking to consider where to arrange you.

Alright, brother

Lin Shengwen's home is quite simple. Although it is a two-story villa, it is an old house built over a decade ago. Lin Yao is also unaware of why Lin Shengwen, who is now so wealthy, does not consider rebuilding it.

A Yao, we brothers toast to you

"Lawyer, Ah Yao, you are impressive!" Lin Shengwu appeared very pleased for Lin Yao and urged Lin Shengwen beside him, saying: "Shengwen, bring over your notebook, let me see where Central South University is."

Lin Shengwen wore a joyful expression on his face, brushed aside his rain-soaked blond hair, and said: "It’s not me looking for you, it’s my brother. My brother has returned and would like to invite you to our home for a visit"

Hello, Sheng Wuge, long time no see

Some time ago, I had a conflict with my senior, and in a fit of anger, I resigned. Later, I heard that our tower village has been doing quite well over the years, so I thought I would come back and take a look

"Your brother, Shengwu?" Lin Yao felt a stir in his heart, and two images surfaced in his mind

At this point, Lin Shengwu picked up his cup again and said with a smile, "Don't overthink it; these industries all belong to the village. The first house, the second house, and the third house all have shares. It's simple to arrange people, but how to arrange them requires discussion, and we also need to ensure that you are suited for the profession, right"

Well said, our third branch in the Tower Village is the weakest, unable to compare with the first and second branches. If we do not unite, we will eventually be completely consumed by others. Your thoughts are very correct

Lin Yao thought that with this photograph, it should be able to dispel the initial doubts of Lin Shengwu and several bigwigs from Tazhai

However, I must interject that there are quite a number of enterprises belonging to the village outside, including numerous hotels, construction companies, internet cafes, KTVs, and gaming centers

Seeing Lin Shengwu's concerned expression, Lin Yao smiled and nodded repeatedly

Looking at the photo of Lin Yao, Lin Shengwu smiled and took a sip of his drink, then said: "Ah Yao, what is the phone number of your Huimin Law Firm? I have a matter I would like to consult about"

Another aspect is his memory, which recalls the scene of Lin Shengwu laughing maniacally at the camera just before his death

Slowly, the two scenes began to overlap, and in a moment of daze, Lin Yaoqing couldn't help but be taken aback.

Lin Yao readily agreed, and the three of them raised their glasses and drank heartily, finishing every last drop.

This is the fourth day back in Tazhai. Lin Yao holds an umbrella, walking along the streets of Tazhai Village, watching the pedestrians fleeing in all directions, filled with a sense of urgency.

Upon seeing Lin Yao approaching, Lin Shengwu slightly raised his head, a hint of a smile appearing on his face

He was well aware in his heart that Lin Shengwu was probing into his background. As long as he mentioned where he studied and which class he attended, Lin Shengwu would definitely have someone investigate to find out if there was indeed such a person.

Rest assured, the food and drinks have long been prepared, and my brother is waiting for you at my home

Elder brother, we have returned

Lin Shengwu said while nudging Lin Shengwen, "A Yao is our benefactor. Pour a drink for your brother Yao, and let us brothers toast to A Yao."

Lin Zonghui, a key aide of the head of the Sanfang faction, a prominent figure among the leaders of the Tazhai, known as the King of Spades in the wanted card list.

What the elder brother said is correct

Lin Shengwu set down his wine glass, looked into Lin Yao's eyes, and retorted, "Ah Yao, you wouldn't want to withhold the phone from me, would you?"

Lin Shengwu raised his glass, clinked it with Lin Shengwen and Lin Yao, and added: "Cheers!"

Lin Shengwu pointed to the chair beside him, while peeling peanuts, and said: "Shengwen has already told me about that day, thank you. I only have one younger brother, Shengwen. You saved his life, which means you saved my life, Lin Shengwu. I will definitely repay this favor to you."

Come, eat the vegetables, all these dishes are brought back from outside, if you don't eat soon, they will get cold

Lin Yaozheng was walking back, and just as he reached the door, before he could open it, Lin Shengwen, holding a red umbrella, walked over from the other end of the small harbor

Lin Shengwen held an umbrella and led the way, as the two of them took several twists and turns, eventually arriving at Lin Shengwen's home

Sit ... ...

In the eyes of outsiders, he is a devilish leader of the tower village, killing without a blink.

A storm is brewing

True Spirit

Speaking of which, this public welfare law firm was founded by a senior from the Law Department of Central South University. It has only been established for a few years, and its reputation is not very prominent, which naturally results in lower salaries.

Lin Yao has this experience; the appearance of the male and female protagonists makes him realize that the curtain of the ice-breaking moment could be drawn at any time. But is he truly prepared for it?

April 15, 2016, light rain

Brother Yao, there you are. I was just looking for you.

It has been ten years since I last saw Sheng Wu

This individual is meticulous in thought, capable in both literature and martial arts, and can be regarded as the foremost figure of the younger generation in the Tazhai community. Their skills and temperament are second only to a few prominent figures within Tazhai.

It is necessary, it is still necessary

If there is none, it indicates that there is something wrong with this person. What will happen then is another matter altogether

In the eyes of the people of Tazhai, he is a responsible and capable elder brother, who particularly cares for the brothers in the clan, and his prestige in the third house is second only to that of the head of the house, Lin Zonghui

"What is it?" Lin Yao paused his action of taking the keys and turned to ask Lin Shengwen

Lin Yao looked up and saw that the door of the small building was open. A young man in his thirties, dressed in a leather jacket, was sitting in the hall, peeling peanuts to eat. Who else could it be but Lin Shengwu

Lin Shengwen sat down to pour wine, perhaps because he had other matters to attend to in the afternoon. There was only beer on the table, no white liquor.

What is most talked about is his loyalty to the third branch and his care for his younger brother Lin Shengwen

The cup is not small; it is the kind of large mug used for drinking draft beer. It seems that one bottle of beer is just enough for one cup, and taking a big gulp is definitely exhilarating

As Lin Shengwen pushed open the gate, before he even stepped inside, he shouted out loudly
