Holding his cat, Ling Ping'an walked to the bus parking lot at the airport.
This place was across the road from the airport.
Ling Ping'an followed the crowd and walked in.
Soon, he understood the meaning of his cards.
The buses at the airport were arranged in the order of A, B, C, and D.
He was going to sit in the 33rd seat of Car A.
He walked into the car. There were already a few people on the car.
When these people saw him get on the car, they all raised their heads and glanced at him.
Ling Ping'an nodded and smiled at them. Then, he hugged his cat and found his seat.
After he sat down, a person next to him turned to look at him and asked, "Brother, which family are you from?"
This person had a head full of colorful hair, a copper ring on his ear, and traces of tattoos on his hands.
He looked a little younger than Ling Ping'an.
Even his expression and tone were a little light.
Ling Ping'an wasn't annoyed.
After all, everyone had the right to choose their own way of life.
For example, he loved to stay at home and didn't want to cause trouble for the world. He just wanted to eat and wait for death.
Therefore, he replied with a smile, "I'm from Guangnan Jiang City!"
"Jiang City?" He frowned slightly, "I've never heard of it..."
He started to count with his fingers, "Great Ancestor's meritorious officials, there are still those who still exist..."
"Great Ancestor's meritorious officials..."
"High Ancestor's meritorious officials..."
"Virtue Sect, Literature Sect..."
He raised his head and looked at Ling Ping'an, "There's no Jiang City!"
Of course, there were in Jiang City.
But they had all withered or moved away.
After all, it wasn't like the past!
In the past, the local tycoons hid far away. The mountains were high and the emperor was far away. There was no need to mention how happy they were.
Now that technology was so developed, even if they hid in the villages of Nanzhou, as long as they broke the law, the police would always be able to catch them.
Therefore, everyone habitually went to places like big cities and capitals.
Ling Ping'an laughed, "My family is not an ancestral noble!"
The ancestral noble was a matter of a hundred years ago.
With the "Hereditary Act" a hundred years ago, the gentleman's kindness was severed for three generations.
After that, the nobles' titles could no longer be hereditary.
Of course, the titles issued before that could be hereditary.
Of course, they had to accept a certain reduction.
The father was a duke, the son was an uncle, the grandson was a marquis, and the great-grandson was a son...
Of course, the old nobles were still very powerful.
Therefore, while they jointly appealed to the Supreme Court, they were also active and lobbying in the Council of Ministers.
Thus, they obtained the power that belonged to them.
Nobles of all levels could pay a fee to the central federal government in order to retain their titles.
Of course, he could only keep his title.
As for the other fiefdoms, don't even think about it.
Thus, the country received the money, the nobles retained the honor of their ancestors, and the high-ranking nobles even received the special honor of being buried under the national flag after death.
Everyone was elated.
However, that person did not look down on him. Instead, he began to revere him. "Oh, this is incredible!"
"The descendants of the meritorious service in times of peace!"
In times of peace, if one wanted to make contributions to the country, they would either have to make enough contributions to the country in science and technology, or be outstanding in governance, or risk their lives for the country and the people.
In short, the conditions were very strict!
For the past hundred years, every year, the recipients of meritorious service were all extraordinary figures!
Grand Scholar, Grand Guardian, Cabinet Minister, Grand Secretary, Vice Secretary …
Basically, it was these people sharing.
"Let me introduce …" he said enthusiastically, "Qin Ming of Huai'an!"
He smiled. "My ancestor is Qin Wang, the Marquis of Yong'an!"
The people in the seats in front also turned their heads.
In this era, a phoenix that had fallen to the ground was inferior to a chicken.
Especially the meritorious officials of Taizu and Gaozong, they had long been devalued.
Right now, the truly powerful ones were the upstarts that emerged after the Hereditary Act.
Especially the upstarts of the Internet in recent years.
Ling Ping 'an smiled and stretched out his hand. "Jiang City, Ling Ping' an!"
Qin Ming was stunned. "Ling? That? "
At the same time, he searched in his heart.
"The spirit of the soul!" Ling Ping 'an said with a smile.
Qin Ming made an 'oh' sound and turned his head in embarrassment.
Ling Ping 'an wasn't surprised. He had encountered similar things many times in Yaodu when he was sixteen years old.
These days!
The human heart was like this.
However, Ling Ping 'an didn't feel that there was anything wrong.
After all, he understood that he wasn't a genius who was rich, nor was he someone with special abilities.
He was just a commoner.
He wasn't in the same world as these people.
Besides …
If they ignored him, Ling Ping 'an would be happy to be idle!
He took out his phone, ignored the many notifications on his WeChat Moments, and opened his WeChat Read.
A hot search attracted his attention: Imperial Capital Airlines applied for a suspension of trading.
He clicked on it and saw the content. It was a very short news message: Imperial Capital Airlines submitted an application for a suspension of trading to the Federal Empire Securities Regulatory Commission half an hour ago. Imperial Capital Airlines did not announce the reason for the application.
He scratched his head. "Isn't this the plane I just took?"
He remembered that haughty and insufferably arrogant so-called madam.
Shaking his head, Ling Ping 'an closed his eyes. "I can only say that it's retribution?"
… …
Lin Yunwen looked at the prosecutor in front of him in a sorry state.
Black clothes, black hat, and a Xiezhi on his uniform.
The prosecutor of the Blackguard.
And he was sent from the Special Procuratorate.
"Sir …" He looked at the taciturn prosecutor with trepidation. "Who did I offend?"
The Blackguard controlled all the transcendent being affairs in the world and had the power to enforce the law.
This time, the Blackguard suddenly detained him and even sent a prosecutor to investigate.
Lin Yunwen immediately knew that he had offended someone!
That was because, in fact, most of the crimes he had committed in the transcendent being realm were borderline.
For example, airlifting contraband for a certain big shot.
To secretly release some illegal products for a certain young miss of a certain family.
As long as the amount of these things was not large, the Blackguard could not be bothered with them.
Usually, it would be a fine. At most, it would be a grounding or a warning.
They would directly arrest him and even send a prosecutor to investigate.
This was the procedure of offending someone!
It was obvious that they wanted to mess with him!
However, he could not appeal.
His past sneaky behavior, accumulated over time, was enough for the Blackguard to file a transcendent being lawsuit.
Not to mention the illegal dealings and insider trading he had done outside of the transcendent being.
Since the other party had suppressed him, how could they only take action in one aspect?
They were definitely all here, whether they were in the open or in the shadows.
Therefore, Lin Yunwen began to admit defeat.
Grandpa!
I'm afraid of you!
He kowtowed!
Spare my life!
The prosecutor looked at him expressionlessly.
Until the communicator on the prosecutor's body rang.
After he picked it up, he listened to the voice on the communicator for a while.
"Understood!"
"Yes! General, I understand! "
The prosecutor ended the call and looked at Lin Yunwen.
"Mr. Lin... I am now officially informing you on behalf of the Federal Empire's Transcendent Being Affairs Office..."
"You are detained by us because you are suspected of participating in many illegal transcendent being cases..."
"Of course, you have the right to remain silent!"
"You can also apply to see a lawyer, or we will assign a lawyer to you!"
Lin Yunwen noticed that at this moment, the prosecutor turned on his law enforcement recorder.
That was a very crucial piece of information.
Lin Yunwen immediately said, "I request to see a lawyer!"
"I have my private lawyer!"
The prosecutor nodded and said to him, "Sure, I will arrange for a lawyer to meet with you as soon as possible!"
After saying that, the prosecutor left with the documents. Lin Yunwen was also brought back to the detention center.
However, his heart was thumping non-stop.
He knew that he had finally passed the danger.
For some reason, the big shot who had suppressed him had shown him mercy.
Otherwise, how could he have the chance to see a lawyer?
Since he was willing to let him see a lawyer, it meant that he could start the game within the rules and system.
Instead of dealing with him outside the rules and system!
That was very important!
An hour later, Lin Yunwen met his special private lawyer in the reception room of the detention center.
Zhang Wen, a lawyer who specialized in transcendent being affairs and transcendent being litigation.
"Lawyer Zhang … What exactly is going on?" Lin Yunwen asked as soon as they met.
That was also what he wanted to know the most.
Zhang Wen held the file and said to him, "Mr. Lin, at present, the charges you are facing are basically around smuggling/illegal transportation and failure to report as required..."
"As for the Blackguard, I can go and make a plea deal with them..."
"You can choose to pay a fine to reach an agreement with the prosecution..."
Lin Yunwen's expression became serious as he listened.
Because he knew that since these were the charges he was facing.
It also meant that, in fact, the other party did not want him to die.
But …
Why did he make such a big fuss?
Zhang Wen said, "What you really have trouble with is the civil and criminal proceedings outside of transcendent being!"
"The aviation safety department of the Federal Empire is already investigating the illegal matters during your control of the imperial capital airline..."
"The securities regulatory department is investigating your involvement in insider trading and illegal trading..."
"The Ministry of Education and the Department of Homeland Security are reviewing your relevant files..."
"I've asked the prosecutor..."
"For these things, even if you make a plea deal, you have no choice but to withdraw from the aviation industry..."
"You might even be prohibited from engaging in securities, transportation..."
As a very professional lawyer, Zhang Wen said to Lin Yunwen very seriously, "According to my analysis, Mr. Lin … What you've encountered is a blow from power!"
"Those big shots from a higher level, those irresistible big shots are making a move!"
Only those big shots could turn their hands and make it rain.
Using these small problems to infinitely magnify them, they used the public security and the law to attack in all directions.
Of course, this was also related to him.
He had to bear the consequences of what he had done.
In the past, the reason why no one cared was because many people turned a blind eye.
But now, it was obvious that the big shots had made a move.
The moment they made a move, it was a sweep.
Moreover, Lin Yunwen still owed him a favor.
Because he did not kill him and even gave him a way out.
"But …" Lin Yunwen said, "I've never offended any big shots!"
All these years, when he saw those big shots, he was just short of wagging his tail and going forward to curry favor with them.
Zhang Wen also sighed and took out a piece of paper from the document.
"I just got the news..."
"Your wife was arrested on suspicion of endangering public safety, causing trouble, and threatening others on the flight!"
"The person who issued the arrest warrant is from the Blackguard..."
Lin Yunwen took the page. His face was pale and he was on the verge of collapse.
He remembered what someone said to him when he married that woman back then, "Brother Lin, this wife you married, with all due respect, is nothing but her face..."
"I'm afraid you'll be harmed by her sooner or later!"
But how could he listen at that time?
"Bitch!" Lin Yunwen was furious, "I want to divorce her!"
This was necessary.
"Lawyer Zhang..." Lin Yunwen looked at the other party seriously, "I'll leave this matter to you!"
He had to divorce!
If he didn't divorce her, he might not even know how he died.
"I want her to not get a single cent!" Lin Yunwen was extremely serious.
It had to be like this.
Otherwise, he would be punished by the heavens and have nothing to pray for!
… …
Ling Ping'an played with his phone as the bus passed through the streets and high-rise buildings of the imperial capital.
Maybe after an hour or two.
Finally, the bus stopped in front of a villa on the outskirts of the imperial capital.
"Young masters, we've arrived at the Luming Villa..." the driver's voice came from the driver's seat.
Ling Ping'an raised his head and looked out of the window.
Lush trees appeared on both sides of the road.
"It's actually a forest?" He was surprised, "It looks like a palace!"
Beside him, the guy named Qin Ming smiled and shook his head, "Of course, how many years has it been since the Tian family held a fellowship party!"
"Since it's held this time, we have to choose the best place!"
"Moreover, I also heard that the people who came to attend this time came from all over the world!"
"Fusang, Xinluo, Jiaozhi, Lanfang, even Malin, Donglai..."
"It can be said that there are all kinds of colors and all kinds of wonderful people!"
Ling Ping'an only made an 'oh' sound.
He wasn't interested in money.
It was the same for women.
The bus slowly drove down the hill and stopped at a parking lot at the foot of the hill.
The bus door opened.
"Young masters, please wait here for a moment. A royal car will come to welcome you!" The driver said.
At the same time, he opened the bus door.
Ling Ping'an picked up his cat, took his luggage, and followed the crowd out of the bus.
That guy named Qin Ming was right in front of him.
When the big guy got out of the bus, there were already many people waiting here.
At the same time, on the mountain road in the distance, sports cars of various colors and decorations roared as they headed up the mountain.
Obviously, those people were the real nobles now.
Many people were extremely envious as they watched.
"I heard that the people who make the most money now are the people on the Internet..."
"They can get dividends without doing anything if they make some venture capital!"
Qin Ming said with envy and jealousy.
He glanced at Ling Ping'an, who didn't feel anything about these things. For some reason, he said, "People like us are miserable. We can only protect the legacy of our ancestors and earn some hard-earned money..."
"It's a pity that my ancestor didn't go to Beizhou back then!"
"Otherwise, my family would have at least tens of thousands of cows and sheep by now!"
