Qu Lingling didn't say anything, her face changed for a while, and then she suddenly sank: "You are talking nonsense! Chairman Lin has never interfered in the grievances and grudges, and he is my ally. How could he do such a thing? It is obviously a deliberate fabrication by you in order to survive.
Lie, just die!"
As she spoke, she waved her hand and was about to throw the card.
"no no!"
Sun Hongtian and Qi Laoliu suddenly screamed in despair.
"stop!"
Suddenly, a deep and powerful voice sounded.
After the words fell, a tall, domineering middle-aged man walked into the hall with several people.
It was Lin Wannian.
"Chairman Lin, help!"
As if seeing a life-saving straw, Sun Hongtian and Qi Laoliu rushed over madly, begging repeatedly.
"Chairman Lin, why are you here?"
Qu Lingling looked shocked, then calmed down and nodded to Lin Wannian.
"Lingling, congratulations, you finally broke through and became a warrior."
Lin Wannian ignored Sun Hongtian and Qi Laoliu, and just looked at Qu Lingling with a complicated expression.
"Thank you, Chairman Lin."
Qu Lingling pointed at Sun Hongtian and Qi Laoliu, "These two guys came to threaten me and said they were under your orders. Is it true?"
In fact, when she saw Lin Wannian's sudden arrival, she felt like a mirror in her heart, and she just wanted to ask for clarification.
"Yes."
Lin Wannian hesitated for a moment, nodded, and sighed slightly, "It's just that I didn't expect that you didn't compromise, let alone that you had become a warrior."
"Why are you doing this?"
Qu Lingling looked shocked.
"They should have told you the reason."
Lin Wannian said, "I need balance. I can't let a certain force in the road dominate. If you are allowed to swallow up Yang Pinxuan's assets and influence, your strength will definitely surpass them, and people's ambitions will follow their strength.
Developing and growing, when the time comes..."
When he said this, he suddenly stopped.
"Are you afraid that when I grow stronger, I will escape from your control?"
Qu Lingling was so smart, she answered.
Lin Wannian didn't say anything, so he acquiesced.
"Chairman Lin, to be honest, I couldn't be where I am today without your help. I thought that you were my backer and a trustworthy ally. I didn't expect... that you were so guarded against me."
Qu Lingling said with a complicated expression.
"Lingling, I never thought of hurting you."
Lin Wannian sighed, "I really just want to restore balance on the road... Forget it, let's not talk about it."
"You are also a warrior now. No matter what, you can no longer be on an equal footing with the two of them."
Lin Wannian said again, "Let's do this. In order to compensate you, in addition to Yang Pinxuan's assets and territory, everything about them will also belong to you. You will have the final say in everything in the future. Between us, as always, not only will I
I will continue to be your solid backing, and I will also whitewash you and help you enter the political and business world, develop better, and get more."
"Do you think we can still be the same as before?"
Qu Lingling was silent for a while and said slowly.
"What's the meaning?"
Lin Wannian was shocked when he heard this.
"I have decided to clear my name and develop a legitimate career."
Qu Lingling said, "I will never touch the underworld business again, so I can no longer hand over profits to you. Of course, I will maintain my power because I need to know the information."
She paused and then said: "Chairman Lin, although you have been guarding me from behind, I can understand your approach and thank you for taking care of me over the years. Without you, I would not be where I am today, so
I won’t bear any grudge against you. But I won’t be your puppet anymore. We can still share information as before, and you can also mobilize my people, but it can only be a cooperative relationship.”
"You want to escape my control?"
Lin Wannian's face suddenly turned ugly.
"I just want to develop my career."
Qu Lingling said, "You don't have to worry that your interests will be damaged. I have already given up the underworld. You can support other bosses to control the underworld for you. The benefits will only be greater than before."
"It seems that after you became a warrior, your wings have become stronger and you want to fly solo. Do you think I will allow it?"
Lin Wannian's face was gloomy.
"Chairman Lin, I have made it very clear. I have no intention of becoming your enemy, let alone hindering your interests. Why are you still making things difficult for me?"
Qu Lingling said.
"Because you are the woman I like, and I can't let you leave me!"
Lin Wannian said sharply.
"What did you say?"
Qu Lingling was shocked.
"Why do you think I have been helping you, supporting you, and cultivating you to become a big boss for so many years?"
Lin Wannian said loudly, "Because I admire your talents? That's a big mistake. I do this because I like you. Don't you realize it at all?"
"Don't you... already have a family?"
Qu Lingling looked at him in shock.
"To a warrior, a few women means nothing."
Lin Wannian dismissed it.
"Lingling, now you know what I mean, then follow me."
Immediately, Lin Wannian said excitedly, "You have become a warrior. As long as we join hands, not to mention Donglin City, but also the entire province, and in time our world will be ours."
"Chairman Lin, you have lost your composure."
Qu Lingling came back to her senses, shook her head and said, "You take good care of me, but in my heart, I always treat you as a respected big brother. I never have other ideas. I'm sorry."
"Qu Lingling, how dare you be ungrateful?"
Lin Wannian said angrily, "Do you know that if I wanted to use force, you would have become my woman long ago, why do you have to wait until today?"
"Chairman Lin, you know my character. If you use force, I would rather die than give in."
Qu Lingling said resolutely and calmly, "As for your help to me, I will keep it in mind, but I can only repay you in terms of benefits, but in terms of feelings... it is impossible!"
"Qu Lingling! Do you think that becoming a warrior gives you the power to challenge me?"
Lin Wannian's face turned ferocious, "Don't forget, you have just become a warrior and are only in the early stage of external strength, while I am already in the middle stage of external strength. You cannot be my opponent!"
"Chairman Lin, I don't mean this, but even if I'm not a warrior, I can't be your woman."
Qu Lingling shook her head and said, "To tell you the truth, I already have someone I like, so please respect yourself."
"You have someone you like? Who is it?"
Lin Wannian was shocked when he heard this, his eyes instantly shot out with an unparalleled light, and he shouted sternly.
Everyone's ears were suddenly buzzing and their faces turned pale.
Qu Lingling said nothing, but turned to look at Chen Hao.
