Chapter 101: Climb the Ladder (2)

Xiao Tian snapped, “What are you laughing at?”

Lin Xin held back a smile and said, “Ah, Mr. President sure is rich.”

Xiao Tian’s face reddened until he finally squeezed out a few words, “You wait.”

Lin Xin got up, poured a cup of boiled water and sent it to Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian distatefully said, “I only drink bottled water from abroad.”

Lin Xin gave him a blank look, took a bottle of farmer’s spring and threw it into his arms.

“This is all I have here.”

Xiao Tian hesitated, opened it and took a sip.

Hm, a little sweet… I seem to be in a good mood.

Seeing that he was calm, Lin Xin slowly said, “Don’t you think what you just did was childish? Do you like me? But I don’t like you.”

T/N: Ba dum tss…

Xiao Tian’s heart thumped. With his heart in a fret he heavily poured water into his mouth, tightened the lid of the bottle and threw it on the sofa, saying, “Thank you for the water.”

Lin Xin said, “You’re welcome.”

Xiao Tian, like a defeated rooster, fled and met Lin Xinyu, who was looking for Lin Xin in the corridor. The two passed by without crossing.

Lin Xinyu came to Lin Xin’s office and asked, “What’s he doing here?”

Lin Xin gave a general account of the two times he had come. Again, she poured her worries to Lin Xinyu.

“I think he likes me a little bit, but I turned him down. With his haughty temper, I don’t think he’ll come to me again. It’s just that he has a bad temper, and it always feels like he’s not so simple. Did he look for you the last time we kicked him out?”

Lin Xinyu heard her say, ‘he likes me a little bit’ he clenched his hand tightly and calmly said, “No, he hasn’t looked for me.”

Lin Xin believed that Xiao Tian wasn’t naive enough to do harmful things to suppress her. There was nothing he could do to her, so she was afraid that he would go after Lin Xinyu instead, and do anything to hurt him.

After all, he is more vulnerable. Will spasm because of a white shirt.

I can’t be with him all the time. If anyone intends to agitate him, I’m afraid he’ll go mad. Now she is relieved to hear Lin Xinyu say, ‘No, he hasn’t looked for me.’

A few days passed and Xiao Tian didn’t appear. Gradually, she forgot about him.

She didn’t care, but Lin Xinyu couldn’t let go. He always felt that Xiao Tian would one day take Lin Xin away from him.

Even if Xiao Tian didn’t show up, there’ll always be someone else. In any case, only absolute power can control fate.

Xiao Tian’s words imprisoned the dean for the rest of his life. Lin Xin, on the other hand, suffered through so many hardships and humiliation to cut off the thorns around him.

This is the difference between people. One is slaughtered, the other slaughters. He doesn’t want to be the former, so he can only be the latter.

Lin Xinyu spent more time at Ming Ge’s, and their influence spread to half of the city. As the leader of S City’s biggest gang, Fang Qingtian was apprehensive about them. Finally, one day, Fang Qingtian could not resist making an appointment with Ming Ge, wanting to meet the ‘mysterious man’ behind him.

Lin Xinyu refused his invitation and told Brother Ming before he (Brother Ming) went to the appointment:

Speak less, respectfully, and if you’re offered any propositions, promise to come back at a later time.

Brother Ming went to the appointment with several people, and when he came back, he began to curse:

“TMD*, I thought we were good. We’re nothing compared to him. He is highly sought after for both black and white practices. It’s a good thing I listened to you and was respectful to him. Otherwise, I don’t think I’d have made it back.”

T/N: *‘TMD’ can be translated to ‘f*ck’, but its literal meaning is ‘his/her mom’s’.

Lin Xinyu rummaged Brother Ming and the others for information on Fang Qingtian.

The man was 40 years old. At 16, he conned his way into S City. At the age of 20, he had dozens of ‘brothers’ under his leadership. At the age of 30, he killed the leader of S City’s biggest gang and firmly stayed on the throne, to this day.

He flipped backward again and turned to the family members. Photos of Wu Pingping and Wu Anan jumped into his eyelids. Lin Xinyu fixed a steady gaze on Ming Ge and asked, “Say, if Fang Qingtian died, would S City be ours?”

Brother Ming froze and asked, “Do you want to get rid of him?”

“This is harder than ascending to heaven. He has bodyguards in and out, and the most important thing is that everywhere he goes is confidential, no one knows his routes. How do you plan on killing him?”

Lin Xinyu said, “I have my ways.”

At this time, Zhao Qiang came in and asked Lin Xinyu about their recent underground blockage. Seeing the information on the table, he said, “Ah, so Wu Pingping turned out to be Fang Qingtian’s lover. It’s a way to climb the ladder.”

Lin Xinyu smiled, as cold as a snake.

“Yes, climb the ladder.”
