Jingmin's eyes turned cold.
"Old man, I've said it before, if you dare to lay a finger on my men..."
"I will definitely bring down your Kim family..."
Old Master Jin's expression immediately hardened.
The light deep within his aged eyes was like a sharp blade, exuding a dangerous aura.
But he quickly regained his composure and chuckled softly.
"You're so confident in threatening me because you inherited that mysterious power your grandmother left to your mother, aren't you?"
"Indeed, that's a force that even I have to be somewhat wary of."
"It seems my judgment was indeed correct; you are certainly qualified to compete for the position of heir!"
Jing Min stared into Old Master Jin's eyes, his tone unyielding.
"So you'd better control your curiosity, don't pry into my affairs, and don't try to harm my people."
Old Master Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had finally realized...
This young man, who was once seen as still incomplete, has begun to display a different kind of brilliance.
His tone softened slightly.
"We're not enemies, are we?"
"There's no need to be so absolute,"
"I had no choice but to do this. I tried to reason with you, but you wouldn't listen."
"It can only scare you a little,"
"You still believe what Grandpa said?"
"Besides, if I really wanted to harm you, I wouldn't have saved you five years ago and given you resources to train you."
Jing Min sneered.
"So, in the end, you're just trying to persuade me not to go looking for that 'witch hazel' that the Jin family is hiding?"
"But don't forget, if it weren't for that person, I wouldn't need your help, would I?"
Old Master Jin found that neither soft nor hard approaches worked.
Jingmin was like an impenetrable fortress, completely able to retort.
He only became somewhat flustered when the name of Miss Chu was mentioned.
He thought for a moment, then decided to start with his wife.
"Grandpa still sincerely hopes you will return to the Jin family,"
"I wonder if your obsession with revenge and staying in Haicheng is entirely because of your current wife?"
Jing Min did not answer, but calmly stared at Old Master Jin, though his heart was already churning with turmoil.
Old Master Jin's voice rang out again, carrying an undeniable air of authority.
"If you don't answer, it will be taken as a yes."
“Jingmin, listen to your grandfather’s advice. Your path should not be bound by a woman.”
“My people who stayed in Haicheng reported that you were getting very close to a minor celebrity in Haicheng a few days ago, weren’t you?”
"This shows that you don't absolutely need that Miss Chu,"
He paused, then continued slowly in his aged voice.
"In that case, you go back to the Jin family and marry a princess or noblewoman of equal social standing. It doesn't matter if you don't have feelings for her, just leave her there."
"Given their family background, status, and position, they can definitely help you."
"As for the Chu family's daughter, her family background is somewhat inferior to the Jin family's,"
"But they are still considered a prominent family in Haicheng,"
"If you really can't bear to part with her, keeping her as a mistress outside would be enough."
"Even if all else fails, you can marry her as a concubine once you become the head of the family,"
“Polygamy is perfectly permitted in our emirate,”
Jing Min's eyes revealed undisguised disgust.
"Don't compare me to you, old man,"
"Marriage is not a transaction or a game of power. I will only ever have her as my wife in this lifetime..."
The smile on Old Master Jin's face seemed unchanged; it was still that shrewd and calculating smile.
"You're just like your mother, but don't speak so soon. Young people haven't experienced enough setbacks yet..."
"You are so devoted here, willing to be confined to this small world of Haicheng,"
"And what about Miss Chu?"
Jing Min looked directly into the eyes of Grandpa Jin on the screen.
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
The smile on Old Master Jin's lips deepened, and he spoke in a calm and unhurried tone,
"As far as I know, your Mrs. Jing isn't that interested in you,"
"My people say she even conspired with that minor celebrity to set you up; it seems she really wants to get rid of you..."
Jing Min's heart sank, though he maintained a calm demeanor on the surface.
But a chill had already begun to spread in my heart.
Mr. Jin continued to add
"If I use more temptation, sow discord, or simply state my purpose without taking any action,"
"She'll probably cooperate obediently and even be happy to divorce you!"
"You'll still have to give up everything and come with me then, won't you? I'm telling you this now just to prevent you from taking the wrong path,"
Grandpa Jin's words hit Jing Min like a bombshell.
His eyes instantly turned cold.
My heart suddenly started racing, and I could almost hear it beating.
Although the old man was speaking in hypothetical scenarios, what he meant was that it was by no means impossible.
Chu Wuyang was currently giving him the cold shoulder on one hand.
If... outsiders stir things up again, especially since Old Master Jin has connections to the Jin family business, he could definitely destroy "KOALA," which she cares about most.
If the old man uses this property to threaten Chu Wuyang when he's not paying attention... then with the old man's help...
Then she... would definitely... abandon him completely.
The more I think about it, the more likely it seems.
Especially since his wings are not yet fully grown and he cannot completely defend against Old Master Jin,
He gripped the scroll tightly, his tone harsh.
"Old man, I've said it twice already, you're not allowed to touch any of my people,"
"If you insist on ignoring my advice...aren't you afraid that I'll go crazy like my grandmother and mother and destroy your Jin family?"
Old Master Jin seemed to be intimidated, and his tone softened somewhat.
