"Rather than researching such unfounded matters here, we should let the information department gather materials first. If this person really is still alive, we must make sure not to leave any witnesses alive," Wan Zhihao ruthlessly unpacked the issue. To him, when it came to safety, the best solution was to kill!

"Everyone!" Hua Muyun, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up. "Today's main discussion is about formulating a plan regarding Xiao Lin's illegal acquisition of kidney sources. Regarding Mu Rongyun, I personally think is secondary. In my view, what he is currently targeting may not be the Xiao Family. From Xiao Mu's words, it's very possible that the person aiming for the 'Dharma Seal of Celebration' is Mu Rongyun."

"I have a question. What is the purpose of Xiao Mu and Mu Rongyun's alliance? From your conversation, it seems Xiao Mu is not certain about this person's identity, only suspicious. I think it's better to leave this matter to Lao Xiao to handle. It's a family affair after all, and it might not be good for us to get involved," Chu Yun thought for a long time, still feeling that there was something fishy. With Lao Xiao's character, it's impossible he wouldn't know what his son is doing, letting it go must have his reasons.

"Chu Yun makes a valid point, let's wait and see what happens."

"What about Xiao Lin then? Are we just going to leave him be?" Lao Long let out a low growl, looking disdainfully at the few people in front of him. When they were needed, everything was fine, but now that there are issues, everyone just sits on their hands.

"Lao Long, don't rush. If the other side submits the tape and goes through the judicial process, there's still nearly a month left. During this time, we have room to maneuver. Illegal organ removal and trafficking can be tried as two different offenses. Let's take a look at the tape," Shen Qizhen placed the tape into the machine. "From the footage, the camera is focused on Xiao Lin's face. Most of the shots show him removing organs. Based on this footage, we might be able to find a loophole."

"The continuity of the footage is not very good, possibly because the photographer deliberately changed the camera angle to avoid certain corners, resulting in these short segments," Shen Qizhen continued. "From this evidence alone, it only proves that Xiao Lin performed a kidney removal operation on site, but it doesn't represent him trafficking."

"If that's all, then it's easy to handle, but I think it might not be that simple," Hua Muyun remained uneasy, considering all possibilities, aiming to keep Xiao Lin safe while concluding this case substantially.

"However, I believe it's unlikely Xiao Mu will proceed through regular legal procedures, which contradicts his goals," Chu Yun continued from Hua Muyun's point. "Assuming he sends the tape to the City Police Department, his purpose would still be to coerce Xiao Lin into handing over evidence of Fatty Wang's crimes."

"How about this, if the other side uses legal means to proceed, I can suppress and transfer it to Dragon Soul for internal handling," Hua Muyun made a decision after gathering analysis from all sides. "If they use illegal means, I still think we should ask Elder Shen to suppress them a bit, to buy Old Xiao some time."

Shen Qizhen nodded, having no objections to Hua Muyun's arrangements. "Lao Wan, what do you think? After all, Xiao Lin is with Dragon Soul, if this matter spreads, it might be hard to explain to those above."

"I still hold my ground: as long as the facts remain, handle it however it should be handled." Wan Zhihao's words were met with another cold snort from Lao Long.

"In that case, let's adjourn for now. I've prepared rooms for you, it's getting late, and heading back now isn't suitable." He had already booked rooms for them during the discussion.

"Alright!" Wan Zhihao was the first to leave, followed by Chu Yun and Shen Qizhen, leaving Lao Long alone at the table.

"Do you have something to say?" Hua Muyun stood up and closed the door, unsurprised by Lao Long staying. Despite his impulsive behavior throughout the night, his words were evasive, Hua Muyun could clearly hear that.

"Mu Yun, there's no outsider here. We've collaborated for so long, isn't it time you were honest about your plans for this situation?" Lao Long lit a cigarette in front of Hua Muyun. After more than two decades of working together, they knew each other's temperaments well. "You also saw it, among those three, they all have a tendency to clear themselves of blame. Now the Xiao Family faces a decision, and you're familiar with Xiao Mu's wild side. Holding the entire gang's power against the Xiao Family, that's an enormous provocation. As for Mu Rongyun's existence, your thoughts should align with mine!"

Hua Muyun could not help but sigh, taking a cigarette from Lao Long. His mind was conflicted, weighed down by the balance of power and personal interests, immensely contradictory.

"Mu Yun, in your current position, it matters greatly who holds the Xiao Family's position. Between Xiao Lin and Xiao Mu, who aligns better with you, is clear in your mind."

"It would be best if Xiao Lin could take the position, although it holds no significant special meaning for me, just a longer period of adjustment," Hua Muyun spoke his true thoughts to Lao Long. In his heart, indeed, if not Xiao Lin, he might take a long time to integrate, or he could choose not to integrate at all. With the fall of the Wang Family, his position in the political arena would be even more solidified, and there aren't many who truly could threaten him. "Lao Long, I have to remind you that Xiao Lin isn't just anyone. Would he willingly be manipulated like this? Perhaps we're just being overly cautious here."

"Then this gathering you organized, is it because..." Lao Long stared at Hua Muyun, suddenly understanding. "Mu Yun, you've been with Lao Xiao for too long, you've gotten smarter."

"Have you ever seen any new appointee who doesn't stir up turmoil? We must aim correctly, the changing of eras urges considerations for the next generation, Lao Xiao's retirement means a new era is about to begin."

Hua Muyun's words led Lao Long into deep thought. He could feel the invisible pressure on Xiao Lin. Moreover, from his perspective, Lao Xiao's initial arrangement was somewhat disagreeable, not to mention Xiao Lin. With a sigh, he couldn't help it.

"Lao Long, what is Lao Xiao's recent arrangement exactly? Just compelling Xiao Lin to return might be blowing things out of proportion."

"I think the Xiao Family might want to use this opportunity for a complete reshuffle," Lao Long exhaled a puff of smoke, reclining in the chair. The enormity of the family necessitates a change of blood, Lao Xiao is paving a clean path for Xiao Lin before retiring. (To be continued.
