Qin Siyuan picked up the phone and saw who he was talking to: Qin Yehe. When he answered the phone, his expression changed from relaxed and casual to serious and solemn. He did not speak, but just listened quietly.
After listening for a full five minutes, he put down his phone and suddenly said, "You were prepared for this. Did you anticipate that Li Ze's brother and sister would play this trick on you?"
"How is that possible?" Chen Tinghan shook his head and said, "I'm not a fortune teller, I can't predict the future, I can't predict their actions, but the document I sent you half an hour ago was indeed prepared in advance.
Although I don't know how the enemy will harm me, I can be certain of one thing: their attack will come, and it will be swift. I don't have many cards in my hand, relying only on a single stone, and there may be times when I can't rely on it and it might be too late."
"So you've made multiple preparations," Qin Siyuan said with a slight smile, "You don't trust Madam Lin."
"I can only say I'm not completely convinced. Don't put all your eggs in one basket," Chen Tinghan said bluntly. "And what happened tonight proves I was right. Even if she doesn't do anything, just remains silent, she can still cause me a lot of trouble."
Qin Siyuan smiled slightly and asked, "Have you ever thought about why Madam Lin is silent?"
"I'm not good at this kind of calculation. I can guess there are many possible reasons. Maybe she had some kind of exchange of interests, but the most likely possibility is that she has long been dissatisfied with my behavior and I crossed the line." Chen Tinghan said self-deprecatingly, "After all, my actions were like repaying a favor. This kind of relationship can't be called healthy."
"Dissatisfied, why?"
"She once made it clear that unless Wang Kai crossed the line, the Lin family would not directly assist me in my fight against him under any circumstances, but would only provide a backup," Chen Tinghan said. "But my recent series of actions have undoubtedly tied the Lin family to my side. No matter how the Lin family explains, Wang Kai will believe that these actions were tacitly approved by the Lin family.
Furthermore, given that lady's personality, she wouldn't have made any statement. It's only natural that she would be punished for crossing the line."
Qin Siyuan sighed, "You saw it clearly... So you regret it now?"
"No regrets," Chen Tinghan grinned and said, "I was playing with fire. If I want to win, I have to keep throwing chips on the table. There are also rules for who to bet the chips on. I chose your family, so I made the right bet.
So now I want to ask, are these deposits sufficient?"
"That's enough." Qin Siyuan said, "As long as your next content is still so substantial, the old man in the Qin family will be the one who will have a headache. He will have to find a way to repay you. So Qin Yehe asked me to ask you on his behalf, what do you want?"
"I want you to take a stand."
"Express your stance?" Qin Siyuan was puzzled.
Chen Tinghan stared straight at the night ahead and said, "When Madam Lin was talking to me at night, she reminded me that Wang Kai has the ability to drag the entire Wanghai into the water, which means that there are many people on his boat.
So I've been doing subtraction, using clues and signs to figure out who wasn't on Wang Kai's ship. The main members of your Qin family didn't leave their names in Pu Town, and they had limited contact with the boss of Wanghai Friendship, so they shouldn't be on the ship, but I'm not sure."
"Oh, that's why you want a clear statement from the Qin family." Qin Siyuan understood.
"And they're showing it through their actions," Chen Tinghan said self-deprecatingly. "If even you can't be trusted, then I really can't play this game anymore. I might as well pack up and run away with my family."
Qin Siyuan couldn't help laughing, and after a while he said seriously: "To be honest, I don't know, I'm a foreigner."
Chen Tinghan was a little surprised this time, and asked curiously: "It's not a legend outside, you..."
"There's a rumor that I'm openly competing with the Qin family, secretly collaborating, and doing business in order to maintain their vast empire?" Qin Siyuan said sarcastically, "It's like bullshit. If I really had the time, I could go all the way to Beijing to do business and then directly transfer the money to them. Wouldn't that be more covert and safer?
My buddy Lao Zhu has plenty of business for me there."
"Then why did you leave in a rage and then come back for no apparent reason?" Chen Tinghan said happily, "Why did you leave at that time?"
"Because I can't stand them," Qin Siyuan said frivolously and coldly, "My old man used to be a soldier, and he was a very important figure. The family tradition passed down by him is naturally very strict, to the point of being almost perverted. To me, it's inhumane and cold-blooded.
They can easily resolve something without even opening their mouths, but they drag it out until it's too late, only to then say, "We need to reflect on ourselves, rules are paramount."
"So you asked me if they were secretly colluding with Wang Kai. I can't guarantee it. You can judge for yourself."
"You're very good at persuading people." Chen Tinghan smiled and shook his head. "These words are already quite significant. Thank you."
"Don't thank me. In my opinion, you are just as crazy as them, maybe even worse." Qin Siyuan grinned and said, "If it weren't for Old Zhu's advice, I wouldn't know how comfortable my life would be in Beijing now.
But it’s not bad to be here now. Watching you, a lunatic, risking your life and gambling is quite interesting.”
"It's not that I want to gamble, who doesn't want to live a down-to-earth life?" Chen Tinghan lowered his head and sighed, "But life is a fucking gambling table. Your chips are naturally there, and everyone can see them. If you don't look at what's in other people's bowls, you can't stop others from trying to take what's in your mouth. Not only that, they also want to open their mouths and eat your flesh and blood.
