Lin Feng snorted, "Am I afraid of him? Let him try to lay a finger on me."
I shook my head, "Sir, you misunderstand my point. Lin Mautsai certainly wouldn't dare to do anything to you, but he could collude with Hu Zhengjia to deal with us at the Shadow Garb Bureau.
Right now, Hu Zhengjia's activities are becoming increasingly rampant. Our top priority is to monitor Hu Zhengjia and prevent the Yingzhou people from doing as they please in Nanjiang. If we engage in a war with Lin Mautsai now, we risk losing sight of the bigger picture. If the Yingzhou people take advantage of that, we would suffer significant losses."
Lin Feng furrowed his brow, "So what do you suggest we do?"
I replied, "The urgent task is to root out the officials involved in this matter. We cannot allow the Yingzhou people to have insiders in Nanjiang. As for Lin Mautsai, we can deal with him slowly."
Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said, "You mean we should arrest those officials first?"
I shook my head, "If we arrest those officials now, Lin Mautsai would be finished. Once Lin Mautsai is done for, his backing would also be gone, which would be very unfavorable for us."
Lin Feng was taken aback, "What do you mean…"
I nodded, "What I mean is that Lin Mautsai can be dealt with, but we shouldn't wipe him out completely. We need to use Lin Mautsai to draw out the people behind him. He has been in business for so many years and has tangled relationships; he interacts with many officials and merchants. Which of these people are clean? As long as we keep a close watch on Lin Mautsai, we won't have trouble finding dirt on those individuals."
Lin Feng contemplated for a moment and said, "So your suggestion is not to act against Lin Mautsai right away but to keep an eye on him until he brings out those corrupt elements so we can catch them all at once?"
I nodded, "That's exactly what I mean."
Lin Feng frowned and paced back and forth in the hospital room before saying, "This is a serious matter; let me think it over."
I quickly said, "My lord, time is of the essence. You need to make a decision soon!"
Lin Feng glanced at me but remained silent.
I continued, "My lord, think about it. Why would Lin Mautsai collaborate with Hu Zhengjia? He knows exactly who Hu Zhengjia is, yet he still takes the risk. This shows that Lin Mautsai has no other options left.
Moreover, since Lin Mautsai dares to send a batch of weapons to Gu Wang, he would not hesitate to send a second batch, a third batch, or even more! If these weapons fall into the hands of the traitors, what kind of threat would that pose to us?
What we need to do most right now is eliminate the officials behind Lin Mautsai and turn him into a toothless tiger, making him a wandering ghost in Nanjiang, unable to stir up any trouble!"
Lin Feng stopped in his tracks and stared at me for a long while before smiling and saying, "You should rest well for now. Let me think this over carefully."
I nodded and replied, "My lord, please be quick."
Lin Feng patted my shoulder and turned to leave.
I called Yuan Bufei over.
Yuan Bufei asked, "My lord, what do you need from me?"
I answered, "You need to make arrangements immediately; I have to leave here for a while."
Yuan Bufei was taken aback at first. "Leave here, my lord? Your injury isn't healed yet. Where are you going?"
I shook my head and said, "Don't ask so many questions, just go make the arrangements."
Yuan Bufei responded with a sound of agreement and turned to leave.
Another day passed, and Yuan Bufei rushed in and said, "My lord, everything has been arranged."
