Shi Qingming frowned.

His voice was low. "Although what my fourth uncle did was wrong, I cannot do it."

Lin Yan remained calm and said, "In fact, I have been lenient enough. I have been lenient with people who have only minor misdeeds."

"But Shi Yin is different."

"From what I understand, the people who have died because of him over the years have either been assassinated or framed. If you're just doing business, why do you have to resort to murder all the time?"

"How could a mighty war god like him not do it?"

Lin Yan pulled a folder from his desk and tossed it over.

"This is the case of Ding Hai of Ding Sheng Group, which remains unsolved to this day. But Mr. Shi, you probably know who did it, don't you?"

Lin Yan himself was quite amazed when he saw the file.

In fact, the God of War is already far removed from ordinary warriors, not to mention ordinary people, so he would not usually do such a thing.

Their privileges are also the highest, and they don't need to break the law at all.

But Shi Yin is different; he is simply evil, even more irrationally evil than Wang Xing'an.

Shi Qingming fell silent for a moment.

He opened the folder, his hands trembling slightly. The bloody pictures inside stung his conscience. He forced himself to continue flipping through the pages, and when he saw the last picture of a three-year-old child, he slammed the folder shut.

I was unable to calm down for a long time.

Of course he knew.

At the time, Ding Sheng Group had a disagreement with Shi Yin's Silver White Group in a project. It wasn't a big deal, but this happened a few days later.

This is no longer a matter of competition, but a pathological condition.

He deeply understood that beneath Shi Yin's outwardly glamorous Shi Yin lay a terrifying Destruction desire.

Shi Qingming shook his head and said, "He is the God of War and is protected by the War God Palace. Even you can't easily touch him."

Lin Yan narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Before he became a member of the War God Palace, he was Huaxia citizen and should have abided by our laws."

"The people he harmed are our citizens. Whether you are willing to cooperate with us or not, I will not let him go."

Shi Qingming gritted his teeth. "I can provide some information, but I have a request."

Lin Yan nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Shi Qingming said, "I hope you can be lenient with the rest of the Shi Family."

After Lin Yan first contacted him, he kept a close eye on information about Lin Yan and the Heaven Department. He felt that this man's pace was probably unstoppable.

Lin Yan pondered for a moment and said, "If they don't have serious misconduct, I will give them a chance to correct their mistakes."

This statement is essentially meaningless.

However, after thinking about it, Shi Qingming finally said, "He has a mountaintop villa on Dragon Rest Mountain, and the property certificate is in Qin Zhi's name. There will be things you want inside."

The Shi Family must not be ruined by a demon.

March 2nd.

Today is the birthday of Shi Yin, chairman of Silver White Group.

Shi Yin is the fourth and youngest son of the head of the Shi family, one of the four great families of Tianjing. He is only 36 years old this year, but he is very talented and is already a mid-level War God.

The birthday party was held on the top floor of the Star Sea Building.

"Shi Yin am very honored to have all my friends attend my birthday party tonight. I hope you all have a great time."

A man on stage is giving a speech. He looks to be in his early twenties, dashing and unrestrained.

A round of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience.

With a smile on his face, Shi Yin walked through the hall with a glass of red wine, thanking and chatting with his friends.

On the surface, he is kind, approachable, and easygoing; there seems to be nothing wrong with him.

"Mr. Shi, I heard that your nephew was also taken away by the Heaven Department a few days ago?"

Shi Yin smiled and said, "That's true, but my father personally called Secretary Yu, and not long after, they sent Qingming back."

"Councillor Jia is really confused. He actually let such a young man stir up trouble in Tianjing, to the point that he dared to set his sights on us!"

Shi Yin calmly said, "President Qi, there's no need to worry. Their previous actions were tolerable, but now they've gone too far. We can't tolerate it any longer. Representatives from the other five major Base City will be sent to Beijing to report this situation to the higher authorities together with us."

"Then the previous stability will naturally be restored."

"Huaxia has come a long way to where it is today, and we cannot allow a child to affect the stability of our country."

President Qi and said, "Haha, with Mr. Shi's words, I can rest assured."

Shi Yin his cup, and the two of them took a sip. Then Shi Yin walked to the side.

"I am truly flattered that Patriarch Wang Family has graced me with his presence at my birthday party today."

Shi Yin looked at Wang Nie in front of him. These words were not just polite talk; he genuinely found them rather strange.

Wang Nie actually attended his birthday party in person.

Wang Nie said, "I came here today because I still want to talk about Lin Yan and seek your help."

He truly hadn't expected that the murderer who killed Wang Xing'an would, in such a short time, become High-level War God's Mental Master, and the newly established Heaven Department made him feel like he had a fishbone stuck in his throat.

Shi Yin said with great interest, "Oh? Tell me more about it."

Wang Nie's expression was sinister. "This kid is already High-level War God at such a young age, his talent is extraordinary. Even if we suppress his momentum now, once he becomes a being Beyond War God, and brings up this matter again, we will still be at his mercy!"

"He dares to show such hostility towards us; how could he wait until this day comes?"

Shi Yin nodded, seemingly lost in thought, "What does Wang Family mean?"

This is indeed something to consider. Shi Yin felt a shadow fall over his heart when he thought of Lin Yan. If Lin Yan found something wrong after investigating him, things would be bad.

"Kill him!"

Wang Nie's gaze was cold as he spoke softly.

There was no one else around them, Wang Nie spoke very softly, not afraid of being overheard.

During these past few months, he thought day and night that he absolutely could not let Lin Yan grow up. Otherwise, let alone revenge, he would probably be at the mercy of others.

Strike first to gain the upper hand.

This idea took deep root in his heart, and over time, it even made him anxious and impatient.

Shi Yin's expression changed, and he said in a low voice, "With our abilities, how could we possibly kill him?"

He's not stupid. He's only a mid-level War God, and Wang Nie is only a weaker High-level War God. Saying that would be too naive.

Wang Nie's smile held a deeper meaning, "Since I dare to say this, I am naturally confident. Besides us, there are several other powerful individuals who are no match for him."

Shi Yin smiled and said, "Who are they? I can handle this, but not in the Base City."

"I'll figure something out. As for help, you know someone, it's just..."

Thud—

The banquet hall doors were suddenly pushed open.

Everyone's attention was drawn to it.

A young man in a black military uniform walked in front, followed by a beautiful woman who held a sword for him.

He walked straight to the stage, stood by the microphone, and said naturally, "Excuse me, I am Lin Yan, Minister of the Heaven Department."

"Where is Mr. Shi Yin?"

"Regarding the Ding family massacre case on July 23, the arson case in Liuxing Residential Area on October 11, the Li Shunfeng murder case on August 14... we need Mr. Shi Yin's cooperation in the investigation."

Anger burned in Shi Yin's eyes.

Ping!

The wine glass in his hand was smashed on the ground and shattered into pieces!

The red wine flowed on the ground, appearing like fresh blood under the light.

"Today is my birthday party. Is Minister Lin so eager to cause me trouble?"

Lin Yan smiled and said, "Uh, I would have forgotten if Mr. Shi hadn't reminded me."

"And then there's the poisoning case at the Gao Family's birthday banquet on March 16th. Mr. Shi, you really have a refined taste. You even went to someone's seven-year-old child's birthday banquet to poison them. What you, this god of war, did has left me speechless."

"It is not I who am impatient, but the sins you, Shi Yin, have committed."

Lin Yan said slowly, "This day is already long overdue."
