The Lin family!
Today, the Lin family's main hall was almost filled with all core members of the Lin family. Even the old patriarch of the Lin family, Lin Cangpan, who rarely appeared, was present.
It seemed that the events of yesterday had made everyone in the Lin family cautious.
Whether it was Nangong Qianyu's livestream or the attack on the Nangong family last night, both revealed an unusual flavor.
"Let's first discuss the livestream yesterday. What are everyone's thoughts?" Lin Cangpan asked the crowd, his voice deep.
After all, in yesterday's livestream, the Lin family had learned that Qishi Pharmaceutical and Yi Net, two leading groups, were actually giving strong support to Nangong Qianyu. Lin Cangpan had already smelled a dangerous aura from this.
Were these two behemoths simply interested in Nangong Qianyu's value, or was it the Nangong family behind her? For now, they knew nothing.
But no matter what, it all happened too suddenly. Lin Cangpan had to start suspecting that this was all planned long ago by someone.
Once the possibility he was unwilling to face came true, the Nangong family's status in Minghai City, and even the entire provincial border, would skyrocket. By then, his Lin family would not even be fit to carry Nangong family's shoes.
"Father, I believe that Qishi Pharmaceutical and Yi Net suddenly supporting Nangong Qianyu is not because of Nangong Qianyu herself!" At this moment, Lin Fengxuan spoke.
"Oh? What do you mean?" Lin Cangpan asked, somewhat confused.
"Regarding this, I wonder if everyone has overlooked someone?" Lin Fengxuan looked at the crowd.
Overlooked someone?
"Who?" Lin Cangpan was still perplexed.
If he had watched a few of Nangong Qianyu's recent livestreams, perhaps he would have noticed something different.
"Patriarch, are you referring to that young man!"
As Lin Fengxuan finished speaking, someone immediately made the connection.
"Young man?"
Lin Cangpan clearly did not know who everyone was talking about.
Finally, after Lin Fengxuan's brief introduction, he learned about Ye Ming.
Upon hearing this, Lin Cangpan frowned deeply, his thoughts soaring as if he were calculating something.
"Judging by this, it should have little to do with that Nangong girl!" Lin Cangpan concluded after a moment of thought.
In such a short period, Lin Cangpan had sorted out all the relationships. It had to be said that as the old patriarch of the Lin family, his strategic thinking was indeed extraordinary.
"However..." Lin Cangpan lightly tapped the table, his expression somber. "However, I don't know if the relationship between that Nangong girl and Ye Ming is real!"
According to Lin Cangpan's guess, Ye Ming must have a noble identity that was unknown to others. If Nangong Qianyu's relationship with him was genuine.
Then the Nangong family would also benefit greatly.
"It's fake, it must be fake."
As soon as Lin Cangpan's words fell, Lin Zifeng excitedly said, "Grandfather! Qianyu absolutely does not have a boyfriend, I can confirm this."
Lin Zifeng, who had always harbored admiration for Nangong Qianyu, naturally knew her private relationships very well.
Therefore, when Ye Ming first appeared in Nangong Qianyu's livestream, he was so shocked and angry.
"Hmm?" Lin Cangpan looked at his grandson, his tone laced with displeasure. "You seemed to have some conflict with Ye Ming at Nangong Li's birthday banquet earlier."
Lin Cangpan did not pay attention to Lin Zifeng's words, but instead brought up the matter at the birthday banquet.
"I..."
Seeing Lin Cangpan's somewhat cold expression, Lin Zifeng became flustered.
"Hmph!" Lin Cangpan looked at Lin Zifeng's demeanor, his face full of disappointment, and cursed, "You only know how to fight over a woman all day long, what useless trash."
"Grandfather! I..."
"Shut up!" Lin Cangpan sharply rebuked.
Seeing this, Lin Zifeng quickly shut his mouth, scared, but inside he was constantly cursing: "Bastard, Ye Ming, I will definitely make sure you have no corpse left!"
It seemed that Lin Zifeng had accumulated all his resentment towards Ye Ming.
"Father, don't worry. It doesn't matter whether Ye Ming and Nangong Qianyu's relationship is real or fake." Lin Fengxuan looked at Lin Cangpan and smiled. "The important thing is that in the end, the two of them will not be able to be together. Moreover, he will become one of us."
"Hmm?"
Lin Fengxuan's words truly surprised everyone present. Even Lin Cangpan was no exception.
"You..." Lin Cangpan was about to ask further, but suddenly stopped and changed his tune, "Just handle it yourself!"
He did not continue to ask.
Because he knew better than anyone that there was a saying called "walls have ears."
"I will handle it properly," Lin Fengxuan nodded.
He had already begun to lay the groundwork for some things.
Then, Lin Cangpan sat in the head seat, looking at everyone, with a hint of solemnity in his eyes, and said, "The attack on the Nangong family last night, if not unexpectedly, means someone has already set their sights on those two divine artifacts. Therefore, we must also prepare."
"We will have distinguished guests arriving at our Lin family shortly. Anyone who dares to do anything that undermines the dignity of our Lin family will not be forgiven."
Upon hearing this, everyone also became highly alert, not daring to be the slightest bit slack.
All of them knew very well that the Lin family's family creed was "profit." Therefore, anything that harmed the family's interests would not be tolerated.
Thus, the Lin family was a family that prioritized profit above all else.
In fact, the three major families of Minghai all had their own foundations for survival.
The Lin family: Profit!
The Fang family: Competition!
The Nangong family: Harmony!
Because of this, the three different family philosophies had formed the current balanced situation among the families in Minghai City.
But now, this stalemate of decades might be broken.
Because people from the provincial capital had arrived.
"Father, Zihong sent a message saying they should be here soon." At this moment, Lin Fengxuan walked up to Lin Cangpan and bowed respectfully.
"Hahaha! Good!" Lin Cangpan's face broke into a smile, and he looked at Lin Fengxuan. "You've trained Zihong well, child. Very good! Very good!"
Receiving his father's praise, Lin Fengxuan's expression did not fluctuate much, and he said humbly, "It's mainly because that child is promising!"
"Hahaha!" Lin Cangpan nodded in agreement.
A moment later, someone rushed in from outside and said loudly, "They're here! They've arrived!"
Upon hearing this, everyone stood up, their faces filled with undisguised excitement.
"Good! Everyone, follow me out to welcome our distinguished guests!" Lin Cangpan waved his hand and walked towards the outside.
...
Outside the Lin family's main gate, three figures appeared.
One man and two women!
The man had handsome features, eyebrows like painted ink, and exuded a gentle and elegant demeanor with every move.
This person was Lin Zihong, the eldest young master of the Lin family.
Beside him stood a woman in a black tight-fitting leather outfit. Her curves were so perfect and voluptuous under this heroic and spirited attire.
On her exquisite face, her long lashes and bright, dark gem-like eyes gave her a naturally unique beauty. Her jet-black hair was tied in a single ponytail that flowed to her waist, and with every step she took, her heroic spirit stirred the heart.
This was the eldest daughter of the Du family from the provincial capital, named Du Yuemian.
