Return of the King, Dominating the City-Chapter 1510 - 1495: Too Late to Strike

"Let’s settle it like this, shall we?" White Tiger asked with a smile.

"Well, alright."

Song Yun rubbed his head. After all, this was indeed an opportunity too good to pass up. Although it would make him cautiously avoid crossing White Tiger to the point of death, this matter was beneficial for Song Yun too. At least he arranged a fiancée for his son. This fiancée was the only daughter of one of the top forces in Shen Zhou, definitely the type who would inherit the position. Once this alliance was confirmed, his relationship with the Green Sect would surely advance further.

His son, just a month away from being born, already had a godfather and a fiancée. His life was shaping up to be much more blessed than his own.

Song Yun didn’t know that in another twenty years or so, his son and this supposed fiancée would play out a struggling yet hilarious story.

But that’s a story for another time.

Afterwards, Song Yun and White Tiger chatted a bit more, mainly about part of his plan. Naturally, Song Yun couldn’t possibly divulge his entire plan since he had to guard against White Tiger plotting against him.

Even though it was just part of the plan, White Tiger was quite shocked.

"Everything is so tightly interlocked. Song Yun, how long have you been planning this?" White Tiger asked.

"For a very long time." Song Yun replied.

"You thought of this all by yourself?"

"All by myself." Song Yun confirmed.

"Your mind is such a waste not writing books." White Tiger nodded seriously, "With thoughts like these, if you wrote a book, it would definitely be a hit."

"I’ll have to give it a try if I get the chance." Song Yun said with a shy smile, "Write a super amazing, unrivaled story."

"It’s a must."

After leaving White Tiger, Song Yun went straight to the city Public Security Bureau.

Although he wasn’t very familiar with the city’s bureau in sh, with White Tiger’s introduction, the officers still received Song Yun and then took him to watch the interrogation of Lin Haichao.

The interrogation of Lin Haichao quickly yielded results. Simply by cuffing his hands to the window bars for half an hour, Lin Haichao couldn’t take it anymore and confessed the source.

He was carrying goods from a small drug lord on a blacklist, and upon investigation, this person was found to have some connections with Lin Rong.

The police immediately preserved the interrogation results, copied a set for Song Yun, and then Song Yun left the bureau.

Lin Rong, the middle-aged Fatty, finally learned that his son had been arrested by the police for being involved in this affair.

Such things were never hidden for long, especially not from someone like Lin Rong.

"Bastard, daring to mess with that stuff."

Lin Rong scolded his son for dabbling in such things while desperately trying to pull strings, only this time he was met with complete resistance.

Because this matter had already spread on television.

Yesterday’s news was broadcast live, showing Lin Haichao’s arrest and the search that revealed the dizzying substances, becoming known throughout sh. Notably, during this time, Lin Haichao arrogantly shouted that his father was Lin Rong, a moment captured and shared by major websites with headlines stating: Second generation involved in illegal goods arrested, shouts "My dad is Lin Rong."

While Lin Rong was contemplating how to get his son released, all the people he had arranged to get his son out—the ones who managed his gray businesses—unexpectedly confessed that they were working for him, leaving Lin Rong caught off guard.

Lin Rong quickly called Old Zhou, the new chairman of the Wen Commerce Association, by phone.

However, at that moment, the new chairman of the Wen Commerce Association was also quite overwhelmed because news came from the Zhou Family that the Ministry of Public Security had somehow received evidence implicating several major shareholders of the Wen Commerce Association, which are now under investigation. Though the Zhou Family mobilized resources to interfere with the investigation, it could only do so much. The evidence from the Ministry of Public Security was reportedly so compelling that it was said to be conclusive, and even though the Minister of Public Security favored the Zhou Family, he didn’t dare directly suppress this affair.

Just then, the Song Family suddenly made a move.

The Song Family, initially struggling against the combined assault of the three families, suddenly launched a surprising attack on the Zhou Family. The Zhou Family was caught off guard and nearly incapacitated by the blow. They soon retaliated, joining forces with the Li Family and Zhao Family to counterattack the Song Family.

Regarding the Wen Commerce Association’s issues, the Zhou Family was somewhat powerless and could only instruct from behind the scenes, trying to keep the matter contained as much as possible.

However, at this moment, the number one leader issued a directive, a nationwide anti-drug campaign document, pointing out that such matters are the scourge of society that must be thoroughly eradicated. With this document issued, the Zhou Family dared not involve themselves further in the Wen Commerce Association’s issues.

As a result, the Wen Commerce Association’s management completely lost contact with the Zhou Family, and all these events unfolded in just two days.

Following the exposure of this series of scandals, stock prices of several companies under Lin Rong’s control began to plummet.

Lin Rong hurriedly injected money, hoping to stop the free-fall of his company’s stocks. It was at this time that the scandal concerning the largest dairy product company under Lin Rong’s control was fully exposed by the Weekly Quality Report on CCTV.

This program focuses on food and drug safety cases, and having received materials from Sunan, and after getting acknowledged by higher-ups, the material was rapidly turned into a segment, broadcasted within a week.

The segment documented in detail the process of the dairy company under Lin Rong acquiring recycled milk at low prices and then manufacturing it into dairy products to be sold at high prices.

Following the broadcast of this news, the stock prices of several companies under Lin Rong’s command plunged further. Some companies even hit the limit down, and the dairy company itself was immediately suspended from trading.

Only then did the Wen Commerce Association realize someone was targeting them.

Old Zhou, chairman of the Wen Commerce Association, told Lin Rong over the phone that the mastermind behind all these events was Song Yun. Hence, Lin Rong immediately mobilized his resources to launch an attack on the Shura Alliance.

Simultaneously, Liu Tianbao collaborated with Lin Rong in attacking Song Yun.

However, they soon discovered that their attack seemed a bit late.

Not long after the recycled milk scandal broke, a scandal broke out at a capsule manufacturing company controlled by Liu Tianbao, exposing the use of rubber skins in capsule production. Consequently, the stock prices of Liu Tianbao’s publicly traded companies began to plummet.

The successive scandals from the two major companies were also dragging Shen Zhou’s stock market into the red.
