Zhu Yeqing was slightly taken aback, then bit her lip, "I didn't expect you to have seen through that!"
She lowered her head and said, "That's right, I can see it. My grandfather probably sees it even more clearly than I do. He doesn't want to continue investigating, which is giving him a chance! After all, he's been with my grandfather for so many years. When my grandfather was sick, he even took care of his bodily needs. My grandfather values relationships the most!"
Lin Yu shook his head. "This is certainly a good quality, but it is also a weakness of human nature. To achieve great things, one must have no weaknesses. A person who is not ruthless will find it difficult to achieve great things! Of course, the ruthlessness I am talking about is within the bounds of principle. One must be ruthless when necessary. For example, the reason why the Green Gang has not developed today is because the old man was too kind!"
Zhu Yeqing looked surprised, then nodded. "As the Governor said, that's indeed the case! The Green Gang has had too many internal problems in recent years, and they're too deeply entrenched to be reformed. For some people, Grandpa has shown leniency and can't bring himself to confront them directly. However, I will handle these matters for him. I've already taken action against the Du family internally, but I need the support of those elders to rise to power, so I can't touch them yet!"
Lin Yu nodded and said, "So, your grandfather passed the position to you not out of selfishness, but because he truly trusts you and values your abilities!"
"However, we must first secure our internal stability before dealing with external threats. If we don't clean up our own backyard, it will eventually become a stumbling block for us! I think we should investigate the poisoning incident thoroughly! Otherwise, it will be your biggest hidden danger! Think about it, if you offend the elders in the future, they may very well collude and leave you vulnerable on all sides!"
"You should understand that your life isn't that important to those elders! They can support you, so they can support someone else. As long as that person's surname is Du, it doesn't matter to them!" Lin Yu said meaningfully.
"Really, is it really necessary to go to such extremes?"
Zhu Yeqing actually agreed with what Lin Yu said, but her expression still showed some hesitation.
"Grandpa's illness has only just started to improve, I'm afraid..."
"Still afraid! If you're still afraid, you'll lose your life!"
As Lin Yu spoke, he tapped her forehead, and a golden light flashed from between Zhu Yeqing's eyebrows.
"What...did you do to me?" Zhu Yeqing asked, looking completely bewildered.
Lin Yu's lips curled slightly. "I saw that you were destined for bloodshed, so I gave you a golden curse!"
"A bloody disaster?" Zhu Yeqing was speechless. "This is getting more and more bizarre, Governor. Is your master a charlatan?"
Now it was Lin Yu's turn to be stunned. "How did you know?"
"Ha, I was right! Hehe!"
Bamboo Leaf Green laughed so hard her body trembled. Standing under the golden tree, the afterglow of the sun shone on her face, making her look holy and beautiful.
Lin Yu was stunned. At that moment, he suddenly thought of Lu Xueqing, who was far away in Fengtian.
The year they got married was also an autumn like this. Although he couldn't see, he could hear. That autumn was beautiful.
Looking back, this wasted life...
He was forced into a difficult situation by Wu Xueqin during his childhood, honed his skills at the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion during his youth, and returned as an adult to take revenge on his enemies. He made three incursions into and out of the shadows, achieving great success.
Through life and death, through thick and thin, this magnificent life has been a testament to our love!
The only beauty became the most familiar stranger.
This is the only thing he has ever failed to do in his life!
Perhaps he was an unlucky person. The girls who met him, whether it was Su Yingxue, Liu Siyun, or Yu Xiyan, all experienced calamities that should not have happened in their lives.
Am I really a cursed lone star?
What is he thinking?
Zhu Yeqing frowned slightly as she looked at Lin Yu, who was lost in thought.
This man is really handsome, even when he's lost in thought.
When this thought came out, even she was startled.
From childhood to adulthood, she has never been attracted to any member of the opposite sex, and she even strongly resists contact with men. This time, she has really gone too far!
It wasn't because the other person held a high position or was because I admired their talent, but rather because of a special kind of personal charm.
That damned charm is so irresistible that even someone with her queen-like personality like her is conquered and cannot be immune to it.
Seemingly sensing that the other person was looking at him, Lin Yu turned his head and said seriously, "Staring at a man like that is a dangerous thing. Also, I want to remind you that liking me is also a dangerous thing. Really, I'm not lying to you!"
Zhu Yeqing blushed, "Who likes you? You're just being presumptuous!"
"However, coming into contact with me is also a dangerous thing, because my name is Bamboo Viper! I'm very poisonous!"
...
The two exchanged jokes.
We've only known each other for a day; at most, we just admire each other, and there's no question of love at first sight.
Zhu Yeqing was a fairly rational person. She knew that given Lin Yu's background and status, he was destined to be a womanizer. She could admire him, but she would never choose such a person as a partner.
Afterwards, Zhu Yeqing escorted Lin Yu to his room.
The house was large, and some of the furnishings were quite old, but it was kept very clean.
Given the Du family's circumstances, it's impossible that they couldn't afford to decorate. The only explanation is that they are nostalgic or that it's someone's former residence.
Sure enough, Zhu Yeqing said with a nostalgic look, "I grew up in this courtyard house. It contains all my and my parents' memories. After they were assassinated by a martial arts master, I was left to live here alone. But nothing has changed since!"
"I'm afraid they'll disappear from my memory..."
The most painful thing in life is losing both parents at a young age. Lin Yu didn't know how to comfort him, and could only say, "Please accept my condolences..."
"It's alright, so many years have passed, it's all in the past. Every day when I open my eyes, I still see the same people I was as a child. I just pretend they're still alive. This is my heart!" Zhu Yeqing said with a smile.
Lin Yu laughed and said, "Doesn't that mean that my living here is the same as living in your heart?"
Zhu Yeqing gave him a disgruntled look. "I didn't expect the Governor to be so good at flirting! Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore, I need to go check on the banquet! You should rest first, thank you for your hard work today, Governor!"
Lin Yu smiled and nodded, "Go ahead! Be careful as you walk!"
"You...you're going to curse me, aren't you?!"
Zhu Yeqing said irritably, feeling that the other party was being strange, and turned away angrily.
