Chapter 112 It turns out everyone had a good meal in private!
Lin Chengze has been having a very bad time lately.
The secret he feared most had been discovered, but even though he had broken up with Lan Cheng, he had already missed the best opportunity to be honest. Even if he knelt down and confessed to his sister-in-law and second brother now, they would not forgive him, and he would only offend his brother and sister-in-law.
No matter what I do, it's wrong...
He could only comply with that person's request, providing equipment, medicine, and gold coins.
Lin Chengze didn't try to shoulder the burden himself. He contacted Lan Cheng, hoping he could help share the cost, only to find out that Lan Cheng had also been extorted.
Lan Cheng doesn't want his background and sexual orientation to be made public, as it would be a huge blow to his career.
Celebrities seem to have it all, with so many fans giving them great things. But for every person who loves you, there's someone who hates you. They also have haters. In the past, haters would at most hurl a few insults at you online, but now they're something else entirely. They can actually come through the internet and cause real trouble.
There are too many mysterious and unpredictable talents, making them impossible to guard against.
The scariest are the true fans. In the past, when true fans turned against you after leaving the fandom, it was at most because they hated you and exposed your dirty secrets. But now, when true fans turn against you after leaving the fandom, it's a matter of life and death...
Lan Cheng wouldn't even dare to dream of having a genius among them, especially one with divine talent.
Not only that, but even though the eldest sister-in-law and the second brother of the Lin family don't seem to be involved much, one has the demeanor of an eldest daughter-in-law and the other is gentle and kind, neither of them are easy to deal with. Otherwise, why would the eldest brother and the second sister-in-law of the Lin family give Lan Cheng away to another family? They only started to contact him after he grew up and they were sure that he was calm, mentally sound, and aware of the seriousness of the matter.
He didn't believe his own parents could protect him; he even suspected that he would be abandoned immediately after the incident was exposed.
In short, both of them have been in a lot of trouble lately.
Fortunately, they could chat privately in the game. After adding each other as friends, they didn't need to meet in person to discuss things. Lan Cheng had no shortage of props and equipment thanks to the donations from his fans, and Lin Chengze could also borrow a lot of strange and unusual props thanks to Yu Xunhuan and the Su family.
The two quickly located Ye Dong and his group.
What else is there to say?! Hunt them down! Kill them!
In their past lives, Lin Chengze, Lan Cheng, and Ye Dong had an extremely good relationship. Not to mention the lingering ties between Lin Chengze and Lan Cheng, Ye Dong, despite being straight, was still a level A talent who managed to infiltrate Yu Xunhuan's team through a contract item. How could he be so clueless?
For example, he didn't know why he felt annoyed whenever he saw Yu Xunge, even though Yu Xunge was far less successful than him, he was still jealous.
But he didn't make a move against Yu Xunge right away; at first, he just verbally abused her.
It wasn't until he realized that the young ladies of the Su and Liang families were subtly targeting Yu Xunge that he began to act more freely, such as preventing his contracted beast from helping Yu Xunge when fighting monsters, or frequently tripping her up.
Later, when the eldest daughter of the Han family arrived, she didn't like Yu Xun Ge either!
Even so, he wouldn't go too far openly.
This way, he could please the three young ladies of the Su, Liang, and Han families without actually offending Yu Xunhuan. After all, he thought that Yu Xunge was, after all, Yu Xunhuan's older sister, and Yu Xunhuan treated Yu Xunge well. If he really bullied Yu Xunge, wouldn't that be slapping Yu Xunhuan in the face?
So adept was he that he had good relationships with almost all of Yu Xunhuan's confidants.
In this life, Ye Dong was first abandoned by Yu Xunhuan, and then hunted down by Lin Chengze of Lancheng, making him no different from being betrayed and abandoned by everyone.
Lan Cheng and Lin Chengze were busy taking action against Ye Fan and his group, making sure to kill them with a single blow, otherwise sending a private message through the game before they died would only take a few seconds.
Meanwhile, the two were still hesitating whether to tell Lin's eldest brother and second sister-in-law about this and ask them to help them think of a solution.
But here's the problem: what if the older brother and his wife found out that their child was with their younger brother...?
That's not a question of discrimination. It involves whether Lan Cheng can still get a share of the property by relying on the guilt that the eldest brother and second sister-in-law of the Lin family feel towards him, and whether Lin Chengze will still receive the protection and resources of the Lin family.
...
They were still hesitating and discussing countermeasures, but the eldest sister-in-law and the second brother, who had been betrayed, acted swiftly and decisively.
Feng Shengsheng and Lin Chengjiu simultaneously received the letter and the skill stone sent by Yu Xunge. After a brief moment of anger, the two quickly suppressed their emotions, found each other, and reached an agreement to cooperate in investigating the matter.
Just as Lan Cheng and Lin Chengze were investigating Ye Dong, Feng Shengsheng and Lin Chengjiu also confirmed that Lan Cheng was indeed the evidence of their partner's betrayal. They also discovered the relationship between Lan Cheng and Lin Chengze, and further confirmed that Lin Chengze had known about Lan Cheng's background all along.
It's heartbreaking!
Partner, sister-in-law/brother, younger brother whom you treat as your own son...
Is this it?! This is a triple betrayal!!!
So it turns out that only the two of them in the family didn't get enough to eat?
Turns out everyone had eaten a good meal in private!
Feng Shengsheng and Lin Chengjiu didn't cause a scene. Instead, they took advantage of the fact that everyone was off guard and started digging into the Lin family's gaming resources.
Before the game's invasion, it would have been difficult for the two to take over the company. After all, the eldest brother and second sister-in-law of the Lin family, who had been in power for many years, were not to be underestimated. But times have changed now, and whoever is stronger has the final say.
Feng Shengsheng and Lin Chengjiu were indeed more talented than their respective partners.
Feng Shengsheng can control paper, which means she can manipulate any paper product she folds. It's not scary that she doesn't have offensive skills; what's scary is that her divine talent isn't special or rare enough.
Lin Chengjiu's divinely bestowed talent is related to water. Although he is only a B-level, he can temporarily merge with water. As long as he has enough mana, he can turn into water and go anywhere with the current.
One of them used origami to gather information, while the other used water magic to cause trouble.
Although valuable items are now stored in the game backpack, most things are still kept in individual storage boxes. After all, everyone's game backpack only has a few slots, and it's impossible to put all frequently used items in storage boxes and stack them up. When you need something, you have to take it all out to find it...
Not only gold, but also equipment, potions, and other items prepared to be distributed to subordinates according to contribution points are stored in the treasury.
The revenge duo got it all!!
They knew about the Su family's gold purchases. Although they didn't know what gold was used for, the fact that the Su family had converted many of their businesses into gold after the game's invasion was enough to demonstrate its importance. The two of them directly bought all the equipment, potions, gold, and various gems from the Lin family's first and second branches. Because of the existence of the jewelry processing profession, the price of gems hadn't dropped much.
They also took away the old man and woman's collection as well as Lin Chengze's.
Feng Shengsheng began to tighten control over her businesses, especially those with duplicate screens. Lin Chengjiu did the same. These businesses had a different level of influence than the company. The company had been run by Lin's eldest brother and second sister-in-law for many years, and their many confidants only listened to them. Even if they went there, they could easily be sidelined. But the duplicate screens under their names were different...
The two took the proof of these assets and rented them directly to the Special Affairs Bureau. As for the Lin family members who were now controlling the copy, the Special Affairs Bureau would handle that.
The Special Affairs Bureau was overjoyed, as if a windfall had fallen from the sky.
