Lin Bai said, “It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not. I really don’t have any money on me right now. If I do have any money, I would definitely return it to you.”

Wang Huaigu sneered. “Don’t use such an excuse. Do you think I’m a child? You spent all the billions in just one day?! I’m going to ask you one last time. Do you really have to make me fall out with you?”

He had begged for so long, and now he had really lost his patience.

Lin Bai said, “How about this? Give me a week.”

“If I still can’t deal with Shen Wanqing in a week, then I’ll buy the mining rights back.”

“If the problem is solved by then, then we’ll still carry out the original contract. How about that?”

Wang Huaigu thought for a moment. He felt that if he filed a lawsuit, the litigation process alone would take at least a few months.

Moreover, he might not necessarily win the lawsuit in the end.

After all, Shen Wanqing was the one who acted shamelessly. Lin Bai might not have predicted this beforehand.

The reason that he used to ask Lin Bai for a refund was actually not very legitimate, and the judge might not support him.

Thinking about it, he thought that it would be better to do as Lin Bai said.

It would save a lot of time and trouble. Moreover, even if Lin Bai did not admit to it a week later, there would be no loss in suing him then.

“Alright, then I’ll wait another week.”

“Let’s make a deal. If there are still people causing trouble next week, you have to refund me every cent of the transfer fee. I mean, I don’t dare to get involved in this mess again!”

Lin Bai said, “Don’t worry. I’ll return you the same amount of money you paid the mine. I won’t let you suffer a loss.”

Although Lin Bai knew that even if Wang Huaigu went through the legal channels, he might not necessarily lose the lawsuit, he still hoped that he could be a little more generous. It would be the best outcome for everyone.

Even if he couldn’t achieve such a perfect result, with the Future News app, a week was enough for him to earn back the transfer fee.

Therefore, Lin Bai wasn’t worried at all.

After Wang Huaigu received Lin Bai’s promise, he felt reassured and focused on dealing with the compensation for the injured workers.

Lin Bai silently thought in his heart about what he should do to make Shen Wanqing stop doing these little tricks.

Just as he was thinking, there was another notification from the Future News app.

Every time Lin Bai encountered a problem before, the Future News app would help him solve it.

Therefore, when Lin Bai heard the notification alert, he was immediately delighted. He felt that things were about to turn for the better.

Opening the Future News app, he saw that on the front-page headline, there was a row of eye-catching black words —

[Beating both tigers and flies, the strictest anti-triad campaign in history is officially launched!]

The news content was probably about the top leader of the country personally ordering a nationwide anti-triad campaign.

What was different from the past was that this campaign was not only targeted at those “Big Tigers” involved in the triads but also at the small fries surrounding the big shots.

The higher-ups believed that this was the only could they truly understand the criminal forces, maintain social security to the maximum extent, and return peace to the people.

The release date of this news was tomorrow.

After Lin Bai finished reading it, he could not help but laugh.

Although Shen Wanqing’s various actions could not be considered that of a big shot, he was definitely a disgusting fly.

He was the target of this anti-crime campaign.

However, whether or not he could be exposed and when he could be convicted would depend on whether or not there was someone behind him.

Lin Bai believed that since the Future News app prompted the news to him at this time, it was so as to remind him not to miss this great opportunity.

“It seems that I have to secretly push this personally.”

“That’s good too. I’ll take it as seeking justice for the workers who were injured by the explosion.”

Lin Bai muttered to himself. Then, he opened the search engine and searched for all kinds of posts about Shen Wanqing and the Qingcheng Group.

Shen Wanqing had definitely done more than one or two evil deeds.

Those victims had no way to seek help. They had also posted many posts on the internet in an attempt to attract public attention.

Unfortunately, the Qingcheng Group was rich and powerful. Those posts that were unfavorable to them would be deleted soon.

Fortunately, the Internet was vast enough. There were always corners that they could not care about.

After a search, Lin Bai learned a lot about the evil deeds that Shen Wanqing had committed.

The most outrageous of them was, of course, the violent demolition five years ago, which resulted in the death of a person.

The wife of the deceased had been continuously filing lawsuits against the Qingcheng Group over the past few years, demanding compensation for the losses and also demanding that the relevant personnel be severely punished.

Unfortunately, all her efforts went down the drain and there was no response at all.

The last news about her that could be found on the Internet was that she tried to commit suicide by drinking pesticide half a year ago but was saved by her neighbors.

After that, there was nothing new to be found.

Other than that, there were other evil acts such as violence, molesting underage girls, refusing to pay compensation for demolition, loan-sharking, and violent collection.

In addition to that, there was the incident of the explosion of the Yunding Mountain village miners.

It could be said that there were countless horrible deeds.

Lin Bai did not know very well what Shen Wanqing had done in the past.

Now that he knew, he felt that he had to deal with this b*stard.

This was not only to protect his own interests but also to protect the city that he grew up in.

Lin Bai didn’t want his beloved hometown to be ruined by people like Shen Wanqing.

“Shen Wanqing, just you wait. You and the umbrella behind you will fall this time!”

Lin Bai sorted out all the crimes committed by Chen Wanqing overnight and recorded the names of the virtual acounts that exposed the evil deeds so that it would be convenient to investigate their real identities later.

After all, the information on the internet had been wiped out several times, and the information that was lucky enough to survive was not complete.

The best way to know the complete truth was to find the victims themselves and ask them about it in person.

After sorting out and recording all the information, Lin Bai searched for a well-known law firm in Dragon City and found the contact information of a young lawyer who had just become a full-time lawyer on their official website.

The young lawyer’s name was Huo Yanhui.

He was the illegitimate son of the Huo family and was also the person who bid alongside Lin Bai for “Summer Dream” at the Sotheby’s auction.

If Lin Bai had not used the information provided by the Future News app to bid for “Summer Dream”, the painting should have belonged to him in the end.

He should have been the one who had gained the recognition of Old Master Ye Weijun and rose to the top from then on.

However, because Lin Bai’s actions had changed the future, Huo Yanhui lost the chance to make a comeback.

Now he was just a lawyer sitting on the bench.
