In his previous life, Chen Tinghan did not have the opportunity to get into the top circle of Wanghai. His understanding of the details of many people and things was based on the scrutiny of intelligence results, and could not be guaranteed to be accurate.
Even when Lao Chen became rich later, he actually had more contact with people from Wanghai Friendship. Wanghai Friendship cannot beat Wang Kai now, and will not be able to beat Wang Jinling in the future. Those bosses who are high and mighty in the eyes of ordinary people are actually victims of the Wang family's cruel tactics.
The bosses of the Wanghai Friendship Chamber of Commerce have been replaced one after another. The remaining ones have either been defeated by the Wang family and become dogs, or have withdrawn from the Wanghai market.
Wanghai has experienced ups and downs, and has washed away generations of strong men. Only this compound stands forever on the top of the mountain overlooking the sea.
To the extent that Chen Tinghan once couldn't figure out the relationship between the compound and the Wang family.
Later, he learned that the compound and the Wang family were intricately connected, with both interests involved and mutual hostility. The two sides had never been united. It took Chen Tinghan several years to find out who was the Wang family's ally and who was the Wang family's enemy. Fortunately, he found out someone who would never form an alliance with Wang Kai, and that was the current owner of the compound, Mrs. Lin.
Because in her previous life, her beloved daughter, the lovely girl Lin Xueyan, died young.
Her death was closely related to the Wang family. Zhang Keqi sent people to kill Wu Wu and killed Lin Xueyan. Time has gone back, and no one knows why they insisted on killing Lin Xueyan. Chen Tinghan only knows that the Wang family could not hide it from Mrs. Lin after all.
Among the gifts he left to Wang Jinling later was Mrs. Lin's help.
However, he had never seen the mysterious Mrs. Lin, but he was intimidated by her methods. Chen Tinghan had been trying to portray her image in his mind: old, capable, shrewd, and cold, a perfect image of a superior.
However, this was just his imagination and speculation. After actually meeting Mrs. Lin, such speculation somewhat collapsed.
Mrs. Lin, at least in appearance, does not look old. Although her demeanor and makeup show her age, her skin is smooth and well-maintained, and even her figure looks very good.
And she is not cold at all, her face is quite gentle, and you can see that the girl has inherited excellent genes. She has large bones and a full body. She looks more like a gentle elder than the head of the family.
As soon as Chen Tinghan arrived, he smelled the tempting aroma of baking honey. Mrs. Lin was in the kitchen herself, baking desserts.
Seeing him come in, Mrs. Lin simply said, "Here you are."
Then she said nothing and just sat opposite Chen Tinghan in silence. When the oven beeped halfway through, she stood up to get some dessert, brewed a pot of tea, and then sat back in her seat and continued in silence.
Chen Tinghan couldn't figure out what was going on. After a stalemate of more than ten minutes, he couldn't help but ask after careful consideration, "Madam Lin, is there anything you want to discuss with me?"
Mrs. Lin said nothing, but she wasn't silent, pretending to be profound. She would answer questions if asked. She took a sip of tea and said, "If you have any questions, just ask me. If you don't have any questions, it would be nice to have afternoon tea and live in peace."
Chen Tinghan was silent for a while, then asked somewhat presumptuously, "I heard that Old Lu has left Wanghai."
Mrs. Lin smiled slightly and said slowly, "Someone from the Wang family is investigating the motorcycle taxi driver you used as bait. I suppressed the information. Officially, he's an informant affiliated with the police station, working for Qin Yehe. In writing, they've also given a satisfactory explanation, ensuring that the driver's involvement in this whole incident is reasonable and smooth.
As for him, I respected his wishes, gave him a large sum of money, and escorted him out of Wanghai, settling him down in a sufficiently safe place."
Chen Tinghan breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to put aside the worries he had been worrying about.
For him, throwing Old Lu out was a pre-arranged outcome. Chen Tinghan informed him in advance of the risks of doing so, including the possibility of being targeted by the Wang family. If Old Lu was unwilling, the proposal would be immediately invalidated. If he agreed, Chen Tinghan would guarantee to give him a large sum of money and send him away from Wanghai after his fake identity was confirmed.
Lao Lu agreed, but he had some ideas about leaving Wanghai and seemed reluctant to leave.
Although he came from another place to work, he had lived in Wanghai for so long that he had developed some feelings for it. The elderly people in his hometown had all passed away, so he had no ties and nowhere to go.
Now that the Lin family has made better arrangements, Old Lu’s concerns have finally been dispelled.
"Thank you for your concern, ma'am. I should pay for the resettlement fee." Chen Tinghan expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.
"That resettlement fee is far from enough to buy Xue Yan's safety." Madam Lin put down her teacup and responded with the same solemnity: "I won't ask your reasons or the whole story. The entire Lin family owes you a great favor."
Chen Tinghan shook his head and said, "She is a very cute and kind girl. Life shouldn't come to an abrupt end for someone like her. I just did what I should do."
"What you think is irrelevant to me. She likes you, that's enough." Mrs. Lin said calmly.
This sudden remark made Chen Tinghan very embarrassed. He lowered his head and tried to explain: "I..."
"I told you, it's irrelevant," Mrs. Lin interrupted. "You don't need to explain to me the interactions and personal relationships of the younger generation. If I wanted to keep her in a cage like a canary, I wouldn't send her to Haishan, where the school atmosphere is free, but to Haiyi Middle School."
Chen Tinghan had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Madam Lin continue, "However, I have only one request. If you have no demands on her, then be decisive and push her away. Otherwise, she will have the right to know some of your affairs."
