Chapter 80: Action
“If there’s anyone you can’t take care of, you can hand them to me.”
Looking at Li Qingxi and Yuwen Yunyan who were wearing solemn expressions, Lin Feng said calmly.
Lin Feng had a certain understanding of government officials.
Most people wouldn’t want to offend such people, but Lin Feng didn’t care.
In the previous world, as he grew stronger, everyone treated him with respect.
If he wanted to do something, no one dared to say no.
Even if he did not intend to attack, many people would be willing to help him take care of all his enemies.
And once he made his move, no one would be able to escape his pursuit.
In short, he was unbridled and did as he pleased.
Even though Lin Feng restrained himself a little in this world after this incident, his domineeringness of being fearless and looking down on everything could still be sensed.
Li Qingxi even had a feeling that Lin Ru and Lin Dong’s deaths had removed two shackles and allowed Lin Feng to act more freely.
Hearing that Lin Feng was willing to help, while Li Qingxi felt agitated and delighted, she shook her head.
“No, they’re government officials after all. It would be very troublesome if we carelessly kill them.”
It couldn’t be better that Lin Feng was willing to help at such a crucial time.
But to Li Qingxi, Lin Feng was a powerful trump card. There was no need to use him unless it was a critical moment.
After all, Lin Feng was a man. If his existence was exposed, Li Qingxi and the rest would be put in a difficult situation.
Recalling what her mother had said about the organization that night, Li Qingxi’s heart was heavy. She did not expect that there would be such a crisis hidden in the darkness of this world.
Seeing Li Qingxi’s expression, Lin Feng knew that she had misunderstood him. Hence, he added,
“No, you’ve misunderstood me. There is a solution where there is no killing involved. There is no enmity between us. I’m not at the stage where I’ll kill them just because they’re human.”
The three people turned to look at Lin Feng.
All three of them looked either shocked, suspicious, or curious.
Sensing their gazes, Lin Feng’s lips twitched. He was suddenly very curious about his image in their hearts.
…
Late at night, in a private room of a hotel, many people were sitting in their seats with worried expressions.
They didn’t touch their chopsticks, only lighting cigarettes and frowning. It was unknown what they were thinking.
They were all part of the management of a company under the Gao family, and besides the members of the Gao family, they were the highest ranking workers.
“They’ve approached you guys too?”
Finally, someone couldn’t stand the situation and blurted out.
“Mm.”
Everyone nodded.
Seeing this, the person who spoke first looked even more grim.
She looked at them and asked again, “Anyone managed to contact CEO Gao?”
“None.”
It was as if they had agreed on it beforehand. The people shook their heads in unison, making one feel great despair.
“It is said that he has already left the country.”
At this moment, there was finally a different answer. However, the contents only made people feel even more hopeless.
The first person to speak was the CEO of this company and the youngest among them.
She had just taken over the position this year. She had originally thought that she was about to reach the peak of her life, but she did not expect her boss to be gone just like that.
The woman fell silent at the thought of what she would have to face next.
Although she had shut her mouth, her words had successfully started a conversation among the others.
“The company is about to be acquired by someone else, and all the people above have disappeared.”
“Do you think they heard something and ran away?”
“It’s very possible. After all, they are the Gao family, the most tyrannical one among the four family clans.”
“But who could make the Gao family so afraid that they would run away overnight without caring about their businesses?”
Everyone began to discuss the Gao family that had disappeared. With the intentional guidance of some people, everyone had some guesses about the Gao family that they could not contact.
One of the older and more experienced member took a sip of wine and said to the people around him, “You people might not know this, but the Gao family is actually the weakest among the four major family clans.”
The Gao family was the weakest. This was a situation that no one had expected.
To ordinary people like them, the Gao family was no different from the three other family clans. They were existences that they had to look up to.
“If not for the fact that they do not want the situation in Cloud City to change, the Gao family would have long ceased to exist.
“However, the Gao family did not know their own limits. Relying on the help of the three other families, they acted in an extremely overbearing manner. In the process, they also made countless enemies.
“Therefore, even if the Gao family gets into trouble with someone they can’t afford to offend one day, some important figure or big influence that even the three other families are unwilling to help them deal with, it would be absolutely normal.”
“I see.”
After the gathering ended, no one noticed this old colleague who had previously told them many things that they would not have learned about. He quickly came to an empty place and pulled out a phone.
“Hello, madam. Everything is going smoothly. These people have all been fooled by me. They all believe that the Gao family chose to escape because they provoked someone they shouldn’t offend.”
“Very good. With this credit, we won’t forget your contributions after we take over the company.”
“Thank you very much.”
Similar things happened in many places related to the Gao family.
The three families of Cloud City did their best to make everyone believe that there was a reason for the Gao family’s disappearance without exposing the truth.
As for the specifics, one could think that they had offended someone who was not to be trifled with, or they could think that it was something else.
Anyway, no one would believe that the entire Gao family had been wiped out.
In fact, even if someone suggested this possibility, it would be quickly refuted.
Now was not the war era. How could such a large family clan disappear just like that?
This did not make sense.
Furthermore, to be able to silently make a family vanish from the face of the earth, if such a situation really happened, then society would be in turmoil and it would easily cause panic.
Of course, the premise for such a situation is that the information is verified.
Under such circumstances where there were varying opinions, people were more willing to believe that the Gao family had taken refuge rather than perished.
After that, Li Qingxi only needed to cooperate with the media to dig out all the scandals about the Gao family and report them. Then, people would further believe that the Gao family had run away.
As for the investigation from the higher-ups and the pursuit from the police, they were even easier to deal with.
Turn the fake show real. It would be the easiest thing to use Gao Min, who had become a vegetable, to make it seem as though the Gao family had escaped.
In short, there were always more solutions than difficulties.
