"Sit down." The arrogant short and fat man casually pointed at a wooden chair in front of the table.
But he himself sat steadily in the large leather chair, trying to create an aura of superiority.
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow at this, and walked straight to another table, lazily leaning on the comfortable sofa.
As a result, if the other party wanted to talk to him, they would have to stretch their necks to see his face clearly.
Needless to say, Lin Yi's obvious disrespect made the short and fat man, who had long been in a position of power and luxury, extremely displeased.
But he seemed very adept at concealing his emotions, still wearing a look of everything being under control on his face.
"You might be wondering why I invited you here today—"
"Actually, I'm not wondering, isn't it obvious?" Lin Yi yawned, his tone indifferent.
"Hehe. Then let's get straight to the point. We've long planned to get rid of the Blue-haired Gang. But after wasting so much time preparing and using up so many resources..."
"I appeared?"
"Exactly!" The short and fat man intertwined his fingers and leaned slightly forward, trying to exert pressure on Lin Yi opposite him.
Lin Yi's lips curled up: "Then you really should thank me. After all, you didn't expend a single soldier, nor even wasted a bullet."
"Hehehe, while that's true, we've put a lot of plans and resources into it without gaining anything." The short and fat man tapped his fingers on the table.
"So, you want me to hand over all the things the Blue-haired Gang stole?" Lin Yi asked in a feigned surprise, but his exaggerated expression was so obvious that anyone could see he was deliberately acting.
The short and fat man felt greatly offended, slamming the table hard with a "bang," and shouted angrily: "Look at how many people we have here, feeding such a large group is no joke!"
"I thought people were starving to death in this camp every day. It seems they're eating too much and dying from bloating." Lin Yi made no effort to hide his sarcasm.
The veins on the short and fat man's neck bulged instantly, clearly infuriated, but he was still trying hard to control himself, attempting to stay calm.
Lin Yi saw this and continued, "By the way, I heard you sold those girls to the Blue-haired Gang—"
"Nonsense! That's pure slander!" The short and fat man's nerves were completely rattled, his face flushed with anger.
Lin Yi didn't speak further, just squinted his eyes and stared closely at the short and fat man, his gaze was so sharp that it seemed to pierce through to the heart, making the other feel unnerved.
According to the confirmation from two Blue-haired Gang captives and several girls, the upper levels of the Louvre indeed had shady dealings with the Blue-haired Gang.
It's just that he wasn't sure yet whether the short and fat man in front of him was the mastermind, or just a small fry.
After a while, the short and fat man, his face still flushed, gradually calmed down and said in a deep voice, "I want the Blue-haired Gang's supplies."
"And burn it with the supermarket." Lin Yi shrugged, his tone indifferent, as if those supplies were of no importance.
"Then why did you attack them?!"
"Out of a sense of justice?"
The short and fat man's voice suddenly raised, and he slammed the table hard again, roaring: "Then you must compensate us for our losses!"
Lin Yi looked at him as if he was an idiot. Is this really an officer? How could his head be so muddled?
"I know you have lots of food!" The short and fat man shouted loudly.
Lin Yi scratched his ear: "Oh, really? Where are they? Can you help me find them?"
Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The short and fat man punched the desk, then several more punches, his eyes bloodshot, the murderous intent in his gaze.
He roared: "Do you think you're so great?! Do you think you don't need to fear me?!"
"Why should I fear you?"
Lin Yi calmly stood up, walked to the short and fat man, and looked down at him with contempt in his eyes.
"I took down an entire gang of lunatics by myself. If I want to leave, no one in this camp can stop me. Besides, you don't dare to do anything to me. Who knows how many armed personnel I have behind me on standby?"
The short and fat man's eyes suddenly became clear.
As if awakened by Lin Yi's words, he asked, "Are you threatening me?"
"I'm just reminding you that doing business with me is far wiser than opposing me."
"You think I really can't wipe out... you guys?!"
"Maybe you can!" Lin Yi suddenly grinned, a smile like a demon, chilling to the bone.
He looked directly into the short and fat man's eyes: "Firstly, you're too weak. Secondly, you can't find our base. Finally, you don't have enough power!"
Lin Yi, with a malicious smile, listed the reasons he had prepared for the man one by one.
In an instant, the short and fat man's face turned pale.
He gritted his teeth, staring intently at the always poised Lin Yi, as if trying to gauge the strength of Lin Yi's organization.
However, after much contemplation, he was horrified to realize that the other party seemed to know everything about his situation, while he knew nothing about them.
After weighing things up, he decided to probe a bit.
"You said doing business? But so far, the food you've brought is just a drop in the bucket compared to our needs!"
"If I were to conveniently bring a ton of food here, do you think I could sell it smoothly and leave here without trouble?"
The short and fat man, extremely perceptive, captured these two keywords and immediately fell into contemplation, frowning tightly.
Lin Yi, seeing the other party's serious expression, laughed.
"I will gradually scale up the trade, provided you have your men stop causing trouble. Transporting supplies is time-consuming and costly, and I'm always cautious in my dealings."
After saying this, Lin Yi didn't bother speaking further, turned around, and prepared to leave.
"Hey, friend!" The short and fat man suddenly shouted, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "So, shall we... try to cooperate?"
"Do you have the authority?" Lin Yi stopped in his tracks and turned his head to ask.
"I can arrange for my men to facilitate within the specified range, but I want to see progress in cooperation soon."
Lin Yi sneered internally, monitoring is monitoring, yet he speaks so righteously, what a hypocritical politician!
However, he still responded: "No problem!" Then turned his head and walked out the door with Da Chuan.
Next, Lin Yi looked at the white officer who had brought him upstairs, and ordered, "Take me out."
The officer's face instantly turned gloomy, but he had obviously heard the conversation in the office, fully aware that this person was not to be provoked, and could only lead the way respectfully in front.
Thus, accompanied by the officer, Lin Yi walked from the second floor to outside the Louvre Camp.
As soon as they walked out of the camp, Da Chuan finally couldn't contain his excitement and asked, "Boss, what is the organization behind us? How many people are there? How many weapons..."
Lin Yi smiled and didn't answer him.
Mainly because, he didn't know either!
Almost everything he said earlier was bluffing. But clearly, that short and fat man had already taken the bait.
Now he can conduct business more openly in the Louvre without taking unnecessary risks.
Half an hour later.
Lin Yi returned to the Shelter.
With the Coin, the first thing he did was purchase and set up two small plots of land.
Currently, he owns four plots of land in total, all planted with potatoes!
After all, compared to special cabbages, potatoes are not only easier to grow but also have a more considerable yield.
