Lin…
Is it really you?”
Lai Yiliang’s voice was filled with apprehension and unease, as well as poorly concealed fear.
He hoped that he was mistaken in what he saw and heard.
“It seems you haven’t forgotten .
Co over and let’s chat?”
The last glimr of hope in Lai Yiliang’s heart shattered.
His eyes flashed with fear before he bent over and hurried towards Lin Chen with a humble smile on his face.
“Mr.
Lin, when did you arrive in Linhai?
What a coincidence to see you here…”
Lin Chen looked at the familiar humble smile on Lai Yiliang’s face and couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Lai Yiliang, you’ve managed to mix with the Chu Family now, even becoming an assistant to a core figure in the family.
Shouldn’t you be a bit more arrogant?”
Lai Yiliang approached Lin Chen, smiling and said, “Mr.
Lin, what are you talking about?
I owe my life to your repeated rcy.
How dare I be arrogant towards you?”
Lin Chen pointed to Chen Tao, who had been knocked unconscious in the pile of bricks: “If I were the one who was beaten down, you probably wouldn’t treat like this, right?
Maybe you’d let him cripple right away…”
Lai Yiliang’s face tightened, and he raised three fingers: “Mr.
Lin, please don’t fra !
If I really thought that way, let heaven smite with thunder!
Back then, when I brought people to cause trouble for you, you spared .
Later, you forgave multiple tis.
I can’t be ungrateful.”
Pausing for a mont, Lai Yiliang whispered, “I found out later, Zhao Zong, the Tian Family, and the Lei Family – I know what happened to all of them.
Maybe it’s because I am a nobody that you didn’t hold accountable, but I am truly grateful.
Besides, if not for those encounters, how could I have climbed to my current position?”
Lin Chen was slightly surprised.
Was it possible that this guy really didn’t harbor resentnt towards him, and spoke so earnestly…?
“I’m quite curious; when you first escaped to Linhai, you were likely seeking refuge.
How did you transform into an assistant to a real estate company chairman?”
Lai Yiliang awkwardly rubbed his hands, leaned in, and whispered, “My good female college classmate is now General Manager Chu’s mistress.
When I ca to take refuge, I sought her out.
She knew that I had always been helping others as an assistant.
As luck would have it, General Manager Chu had just fired his previous assistant for misconduct.
My classmate recomnded , and after an assessnt by General Manager Chu, he temporarily appointed as his assistant.
I’m still on probation.”
Lin Chen said with surprise, “Not bad, there’s a world of difference between being Heizhu’s assistant and Chu Songhui’s.”
Lai Yiliang whispered, “It was mainly a coincidence.
A lot of the work I did for Heizhu was shady, unfit for the public eye.
But it turns out that was exactly the kind of experience General Manager Chu needed, so after assessing on a few tasks that I handled well, he decided to take on.”
Lin Chen laughed, “Well, you’ve climbed high.”
Lai Yiliang went along with the laughter and said, “I’m still just a wage earner for others, although my salary and benefits are better, and it sounds more prestigious when ntioned.
But my nature remains the sa.”
Lin Chen patted Lai Yiliang on the shoulder, “I’m not sure whether your luck is good or bad – among Linhai’s Eight Great Families, you just happened to choose Chu Family.”
Lai Yiliang’s heart tightened, and he cautiously asked, “Mr.
Lin, do you have a grudge with the Chu Family?”
Lin Chen replied, “Heizhu’s backer is Zhao Yiheng.
Do you know who is behind Zhao Yiheng?”
Lai Yiliang’s eyes widened, “The Chu Family?”
Lin Chen nodded, “Chu Family’s Inheritor, Chu Tianyu, directed Zhao Yiheng to go after Chuhe Group’s Chu Jiaxue.
Chu Jiaxue and Gu Yuexi are cousins, and I am Gu Yuexi’s boyfriend.
Zhao Yiheng, the Tian family, and the Han family were all directed by Chu Tianyu.
Last ti, he got away, and I didn’t manage to kill him.
So naturally, I had to co to Linhai to settle things.”
Lai Yiliang stared in shock.
He had been puzzled about how Lin Chen managed to clash with so many Pingjiang forces.
Now, the mystery was finally solved!
Young Master Chu!
It turned out that Chu Tianyu was behind everything, Lin Chen had always been fighting against Chu Tianyu.
He had only severed Chu Tianyu’s tendrils ti and ti again, and even almost killed Chu Tianyu himself.
Suddenly, Lai Yiliang felt his throat go dry.
“Mr.
Lin, I am just a small fry, why are you telling all this?”
Lin Chen smiled, “Aren’t we quite fated?
I just wanted to make things clear to you, so you don’t end up becoming cannon fodder by accident.”
For a mont, Lai Yiliang’s feelings were complicated, “Mr.
Lin, is it a fight to the death between you and the Chu Family?”
Lin Chen smiled and nodded, “They want to kill , so I naturally want to kill them.
However, my fight with the Chu Family is unrelated to you.
If the Chu Family wins, you are not affected.
But if the Chu Family loses, their entire industry will be divided, and the Chu Family will have to retreat from the world of cultivators.
General Manager Chu will not be able to hold onto his position, and you, as his assistant, will naturally be implicated.”
Lai Yiliang clenched his teeth and whispered, “Mr.
Lin, do you want to do sothing?”
Lin Chen laughed and patted Lai Yiliang on the shoulder, “I don’t need you to do anything for .
You said you are grateful to , so I just wanted to give you a friendly reminder, a greeting from an old friend.”
