Episode 160: A fire breaks out in the backyard
In the speeding limousine, Lin Cangxi's father and son sat side by side, Lin Wenfeng hesitated for a moment and asked, "Dad, since Ling Long has to shed his skin if he doesn't die this time, why do you have to continue to buy that Gu Shuxian? I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Ling family to turn over this time, right?"
"The Ling family is not just this couple, they still have the relationship of Zhao Sanlin behind them, and when it is not completely abandoned, if they can incite them to become enemies with Wang Yang, it will be a great help to us. And there's a good chance of giving that girl to you in this way, isn't it?" Lin Cangxi leisurely leaned his neck on the back pillow and said lightly.
Lin Wenfeng, who also has a fast brain, can see through it at a glance, and said with a smile: "If you want to catch the old and indulge, Dad's hand is amazing!"
"This bureau has taken me too much energy, of course it is impossible to implement it when I am not fully sure, and once it is implemented, I must do it to the end!" Lin Cangxi's eyes flashed with a fierce light, as a veteran of the underworld officialdom for several years, he still has some gamblers' vices in his bones, and believes in the truth of seeking wealth and danger. Usually he takes a steady style in decision-making, but sometimes he uses the means of breaking the kettle and sinking the boat in major matters, which is also the only way for him to soar.
The most terrifying thing is that since his debut, Lin Cangxi has never lost the deal that made Lin Cangxi gamble on his life.
His father's courage and ruthlessness made Lin Wenfeng's five bodies fall to the ground, and in the past few years, he has also learned a lot of scheming methods, and he will not be superstitious about his own force as before, but more accustomed to thinking with his brain. So after further pondering the situation, Lin Wenfeng continued to analyze: "So far, the plan has gone very smoothly, and now there are still two points that may go wrong, Guan Zekai and Liang Dong, I don't know how Dad arranged it?"
Lin Cangxi turned his head and glanced at his son meaningfully and said, "Guan Zekai used to be too proud of himself, and he was very good-looking, but he was a timid guy in his bones. Since we use his family as a bargaining chip, we are not afraid of his disobedience. Of course, the commutation of the sentence promised to others must also be realized, otherwise it will not be good to force the dog to jump over the wall. As for Liang Dong, I think you know how to deal with it, and when the time comes, do it cleanly, and don't let the people on Chen Qi's side smell anything. ”
"Got it, when these two links are all completed, you can sit back and wait for the last loot!" The corners of Lin Wenfeng's mouth hooked an evil arc, as if he was fantasizing about the appearance of that cold beauty struggling powerlessly in his arms, suddenly he remembered something, put away his smile and said, "By the way, is that person really willing to cooperate with us? ”
A flash of fire flashed, and the characteristic smell of cigars began to permeate the carriage, as if to stimulate thinking. Lin Cangxi pondered for a while and said: "So far, he is still on our side, you must know that as long as you do this kind of thing, there is no turning back." This incident has dealt such a big blow to Wang Yang's financial resources and reputation, and he directly killed the girl's family that the young master fancies, do you think he can still accept it even if his conscience finds out that Wang Ning will accept it?"
"But what if he is dug up by Wang Ning? This woman's scheming and courage are probably stronger than we imagined, and it is difficult to keep her in the dark. Lin Wenfeng asked worriedly.
“…… I still know Wang Ning's level, and it is definitely not below me and Chen Qi, but valuing love and righteousness is her biggest weakness. And now this woman can't take some underworld means because of her identity, which has limited her ability to a certain extent. Lin Cangxi squinted his eyes slightly and stared ahead, as if recalling the past, "But we can't completely rest assured that person will stay in Wang Yang, even if he is confident, sooner or later he will be seen to be flawed." If it's really exposed, pull him over first, and it doesn't matter if you can't save him. Anyway, it will take time for Wang Ning to figure it out, and by then our plan is estimated to be completed, and that person will have little use value. ”
"That's right, if you miss the opportunity, no matter how powerful Wang Ning is, she will only fall into Pingyang!" Lin Wenfeng nodded thoughtfully.
In the old house of the Ling family, the mother and daughter are dividing the division of labor to tidy up this home that has been abandoned for a month. Because his parents were taken away by the Commission for Discipline Inspection one after another, Ling Qi ran back and forth to investigate, and occasionally went home only in a hurry, and it was not until today that he really devoted himself to dotting.
The girl quickly cleaned up some rotten food from the refrigerator and threw it into the trash can downstairs, and then skillfully swept the floor, wiped the cabinet, and mopped the floor. In the previous life, as a son, he was naturally the main labor force in the family, and Ling Qi did a lot of heavy physical work. Now the skills are still there, but there is a gap in physical strength, and she obviously feels a lot less efficient when she does it.
Gu Shuxian rushed to the nearby vegetable market to buy some home-cooked ingredients and prepare a long-lost dinner for her daughter. Although they can go to the restaurant outside to solve the problem, the mother and daughter have been separated for more than a month, and Gu Shuxian thinks that they must cook by themselves to find that warm atmosphere and soothe their hearts that have been scared for a long time.
When the last dish was served, Ling Qi, who had finished cleaning and bathing and changing, happened to come down from upstairs, and the mother and daughter sat opposite each other, looking at each other with a smile, everything was silent.
Although he couldn't bear to spoil such a warm atmosphere, Ling Qi couldn't help but say his thoughts after finishing the meal: "Mom, if the bank is not good for you, will you really consider going to X City?"
Gu Shuxian looked at her daughter with some confusion and said, "I'm still thinking about this matter, now your father's future is uncertain, and there can't be any mistakes on my side." Since Mr. Lin has spoken, this is also a rare opportunity. City X is a special economic zone at a higher level than here, and I will have a better salary and future when I go there. ”
Her mother's words made Ling Qi's heart chuckle, and she asked tentatively, "Are you...... Do you trust Cangyuan very much? This accident is a problem with the project they are responsible for!"
"Of course I knew that they built the chemical plant. Gu Shuxian stacked some empty dishes together to hide the fluctuations in her heart, "Ah Qi, you don't know what Mom has been through during this time. In addition to the inhuman treatment inside, the sophistication of the people outside is chilling enough!"
Ling Qi pursed her lips and didn't speak, she knew that Gu Shuxian needed someone to talk to at this time, and she was already a daughter.
"Your father is a decent and cheerful person, and he used to make a lot of friends, but now? After his accident, all the so-called friends hid far away! Your grandparents are no longer there, and as a result, your aunts and uncles have all hid after we have been in the incident, and we have helped them so much!" Speaking of the indifference of her siblings, Gu Shuxian's emotions became even more excited, and Ling Qi quickly got up and poured her a glass of cold boiled water.
After pouring a few sips to moisten her throat, Gu Shuxian's anger decreased slightly, and was replaced by disappointment and indignation: "After looking around, I realized that all relatives and friends were fake when we were in trouble! Now the only person who has offered to help us is Mr. Lin from Cangyuan, who else can you trust if you say I don't believe him? The family is not as good as before, if there is no backer, how can we maintain our original status and treatment?"
Despite being in different time and space, the mother's personality is not much different. Ling Qi, who is very familiar with Gu Shuxian, knows that her mother is now suffering a heavy blow to her original vanity because of the gap in life and the support of relatives and friends, and she has serious cynicism, which really should not be what a person of Gu Shuxian's age and status should have. But thinking that she went through a month of torture on the side of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, it is understandable that her psychology has become extreme.
"However, we are not completely alone now, grandpa is trying to figure out a way, and Dad's former chief Zhao Sanlin is also helping. After weighing it repeatedly, Ling Qi felt that it was necessary to tell her mother what she had learned from Ling Moyang, and Gu Shuxian would hear about it sooner or later anyway.
"We need to prepare for the worst!" Gu Shuxian raised her right hand to support her tired head, and said worriedly, "Your grandfather is over 70 years old this year, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will still be so sober in a few years." Besides, Zhao Sanlin is almost at the age of retiring from the second line, and he can't cover us for a few years, so we must find a backer who can rely on him for a long time, which can not only help your father, but also keep our status. ”
Hearing this, Ling Qi secretly shook his head, his mother's vanity had swelled to a considerable extent in the past ten years of pampering, and it was impossible to change her concept overnight. So the girl fell into deep thought, and it was not easy to enlighten this stubborn, self-righteous and vain mother.
"Ah Qi, do you have a boyfriend?" The mother and daughter were silent for a moment, and Gu Shuxian suddenly threw out this question that had no beginning or end.
Ling Qi frowned, a little confused: "No, why do you ask this?"
Gu Shuxian stood up and walked to her daughter's side, held Ling Qi's soft hand with both hands and said, "Think about how fast time flies, my daughter is also 23 years old, my mother married your father at this age, I think you should also find a boyfriend." ”
Her mother's ambiguous expression and words alerted Ling Qi, and she suddenly remembered the party she had with Lin Cangxi's family at the Weiding Hotel, and an ominous premonition slowly appeared in her mind.
Looking at her daughter's somewhat wandering eyes, Gu Shuxian changed her tone of discussion: "Mom has been observing for a while, and I think that Mr. Lin's son Lin Wenfeng is still good, both in appearance, education and background, and he is also mature and sophisticated, I don't know how you feel?"
Sure enough, what Ling Qi was most worried about had happened, no matter whether Gu Shuxian was in a hurry to go to the doctor or vanity, she had already been moved by Lin Cangxi's performance! Now that the struggle with the Qingyan Society had just been lost, the backyard was on fire again......
