"Cutting off the tentacles of deep-cover spies... is it?"
Feng Wenyu, who sat to the right of Lin Ying on the long sofa, heard Lin Ying speak and smiled slightly, shaking his head as he said, "The bait thrown out by the Longevity Club is indeed tempting, but those guys aren't philanthropists."
"If I have what others don't, then it's a rare treasure, and others can only beg them for it."
Feng Wenyu's eyes discreetly swept over Lin Zhe as he slowly inquired of Lin Ying:
"The infiltration of the Lin Clan was unknown to the field team before receiving the mission, but after we received the mission, we learned a bit about the internal matters."
"When they manipulated the financial markets, arbitraging and framing their operations, it triggered the financial regulatory risk control, with ongoing monitoring since then. However, it wasn't expected that the Longevity Club had a hand in it."
The Lin Group Holding Company's market value isn't high, and most of the factories listed in its financial reports are at a loss. However, it manages a significant amount of funds, and its equity is extremely complex. If one follows the clues, all major shareholders are overseas Lin family members.
The Lin family of Xia Country is a branch of the overseas Lin family.
The manager appointed by the overseas Lin family is primarily the main family led by Lin Ying, as the overseas Lin family only recognizes her.
Without Lin Ying, the overseas Lin family could withdraw their investments or empty the fund pool, leading to the collapse of the Lin family in Xia Country in an instant.
From a certain perspective, the infiltration of the Lin family by the Longevity Club doesn't have a significant impact, as the true core is the lineage led by Lin Ying.
"Because our conversation will be recorded and stored in the form of files, I cannot use any ambiguous expressions during our talk."
Feng Wenyu looked at Lin Ying and said, "Our visit this time is to convey a message from the Security Bureau's Xia Dong branch office chief to Ms. Lin Ying: As someone involved in finance, what is the most important step in the field of investment?"
After asking the question, Feng Wenyu didn't speak again, instead quietly waiting for Lin Ying's reply.
Ansheng, with a hint of curiosity, looked at Lin Ying, as if the purpose of their trip seemed to have a deeper intention than addressing the overseas forces infiltrating the Lin Clan.
"From a financial perspective, the most important step in the field of investment is undoubtedly due diligence," Lin Ying replied, "An investment project, whether profitable or not, can be quantified into data."
"But people are different. The human heart cannot be quantified into data and placed on the table."
Lin Group Holding Company has the right to invest, and the enterprises or projects accepting investment also have the capability to abscond with funds.
Therefore, the priority for investigating both enterprises and individuals before investing in any business is very high.
Even if the profit could reach one hundred percent, Lin Ying wouldn't touch it if there were blemishes on the resume,
to avoid the overseas Lin family from tarnishing the Xia Country Lin family's reputation in the industry due to acts of street killings and absconding with funds.
And with Lin Ying's response to Feng Wenyu... no, it should be said to the Biological Control Team leader's question, Lin Ying clearly realized the Security Bureau's true intention of inquiry.
People.
Or rather the résumés of people.
Lin Ying didn't know whether her grandfather and father had any contact with the Security Bureau, but Grandmaster Lin did know Li Wenkang and some researchers and experts in the field of spiritual particles.
"Am I... a trustworthy person?" Lin Ying asked.
"Your grandfather, Lin Yi, established the initial friendship with our Security Bureau. Your father maintained contact with us in some forms during his lifetime," Feng Wenyu, having received the expected reply, conveyed what the chief instructed:
"Now..."
"May I ask if Ms. Lin Ying would be willing to join hands with our Biological Control Team, to consolidate and maintain the initial friendship and camaraderie..."
Seeing Feng Wenyu extend his hand, Lin Ying was momentarily lost in thought, feeling a sudden doubt arise from the depths of her heart.
"I have a question."
"Please speak," Feng Wenyu responded.
"Since you say my grandfather and father maintained some level of contact with your Security Bureau, I want to know about their deaths..." Lin Ying stared intently at Feng Wenyu.
"When new technologies emerge, they are good news for people in that era, as they genuinely solve the pressing issues of the time, bringing convenience to everyday life..." Feng Wenyu shook his head and said, "Just like when leaded gasoline was invented, and everyone was overjoyed with its appearance."
"But eras have limitations, and the initial human spiritualization technology originated in Russia."
"With technological advancement, it's been proven that the initial spiritualization technology poses a hundred percent risk of sterilization and a high probability of uncontrolled physical deformities, with a medium probability of acute leukemia, and a small chance of complete beastization."
Although ambiguous or suggestive language isn't permitted during conversations, Lin Ying's question wasn't within the scope of the meeting, prompting Feng Wenyu to speak suggestively.
Lin Ying's grandfather and father were natural humans who hadn't undergone any gene editing or modification.
They might have been wary of the unknown, waiting for technological advancements, or for some other reason.
Up until the very last moment, those individuals wouldn't make a choice easily.
They weren't desperate fugitives with no other options.
But.
No one can predict whether tomorrow or an accident will come first.
"Hwuh..."
Lin Ying took a deep breath, ripples appeared on her cheeks before returning to calm, she extended her hand and lightly shook hands with Feng Wenyu, slowly saying, "....It would be an honor."
"Yay! It's time to clean out the disloyal courtiers!" Seeing Lin Ying reach an agreement with the Security Bureau, Lord Fuli, who sat in Lin Ying's lap, immediately sprang up and said:
"Today they dare to issue a white-fox hunt order, turning against Lin Ying directly. Tomorrow, they'll dare to openly run casinos and engage in dubious insider trading, self-proclaiming to be the tyrants of Xia Dong!"
"Down with feudalism! Crush the remnants of feudalism!"
Lin Ying looked down and saw Lord Fuli, in her arms, raising his small fox paw and chanting slogans against disloyal courtiers, couldn't help but pause for a moment, then a gentle laugh escaped as her eyebrows curved and she seemed especially spirited.
"......"
Feng Wenyu glanced sideways, his mouth twitching, feeling an indescribable sense of difficulty surfacing from within.
Others didn't know, but he surely did, right?
They arranged private lessons for Lord Fuli, yet Lord Fuli didn't attend a single political theory class, skipping all of them.
Preaching against disloyal courtiers with one step, and then calling to overthrow the remnants of feudalism with the next was certainly making it hard to keep composure...
But Feng Wenyu understood the core thought.
Lord Fuli was very unhappy; he wanted to swing a giant hammer to smash the Old Witch watching over his physical form.
And what Feng Wenyu didn't know was this.
The reason for Lord Fuli's exuberant mood was actually due to another factor.
The Lin Clan's manor.
A bona fide spy den, smashing it with a hammer could result in a 'bingo' explosion on the wish list, couldn't it?
Lord Fuli didn't dare imagine how satisfying it would be to harvest Wish Power like cutting green onions.
