Chapter 267 Private Solution
Qiu Shanhe: "Master, I have arranged everything clearly for you. It's almost the final moment. If you give up now, it would be a big mistake."
Duanmu Lin opened the door: "Come in, I want to see how you arrange it clearly."
When the door slammed shut behind Qiu Shanhe, he realized that he was the one suffering from dementia. Everything happened so fast that he didn't even have time to think.
Only then did he remember that Duanmu Lin was not Duanmu Rong, and he was not so easy to talk to. If he refused to help him perform this scene, he would really be like Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror - neither popular nor pleasing.
Duanmu Lin: "I'll give you five minutes to tell me how I made a mistake if I really ignored you."
Qiu Shanhe: "I hid Duanmu Rong in Baixue Manor without your knowledge, hoping to use her safety to force Hongtai to resign. Things have reached the final stage. Now, as long as Grandpa Duanmu cooperates with me in this final scene, the plan will be a success."
Duanmu Lin: "What if I refuse? Do you know that I despise your despicable tactics of using emotional deception to achieve your own goals?"
Qiu Shanhe: "All is fair in war. Besides, he was the one who made the mistake first. I am only doing this to seek justice for the Second Madam. Duanmu Rong also agrees with me."
Duanmu Lin: "It seems that you are not only good at deceiving others, but also quite like deceiving yourself. Duanmu Rong is still a little girl who is ignorant of the world. She is just blinded by hatred. Of course she will do whatever you say."
Qiu Shanhe: "Master Duanmu, even if you don't touch him now, Hongtai will cause trouble for us sooner or later. Now we can't turn back. You decide what to do!"
Duanmu Lin: "So what does he mean?"
Qiu Shanhe: "How could someone like him tell me his true thoughts? He wants to invite you to the Sky Blue Casino for a personal meeting."
Duanmu Lin: "Just ask him to go to the Sky Blue Casino at nine o'clock tomorrow. I don't want to drag this matter out any longer."
Qiu Shanhe: "I understand. I'll arrange it right away."
Duanmu Lin: "Are you sincere to Rongrong?"
Qiu Shanhe didn't expect him to ask this question suddenly, and he was stunned on the spot, not knowing how to answer.
Duanmu Lin: "This child is really pitiful. If you don't really like her, don't mess with her."
Qiu Shanhe: "Master, do you care about her?"
Duanmu Lin: "What I care about is our family's reputation."
Qiu Shanhe: "Don't forget our appointment tomorrow."
The rising sun and the crowing of roosters symbolize that a new day is about to come.
Duanmu Lin and Qiu Shanhe were ready to go to Tianlan Casino early in the morning.
When they were about to set off, they were seen by Duanmu Jin.
Duanmu Jin: "Where are you going?"
Duanmu Lin: "Go to the Tianlan Casino."
Duanmu Jin: "Why don't you take me with you?"
Duanmu Lin: "What are you going there for? Are you going to gamble? If you want to leave, go by yourself. You have feet." After saying a few cold words, he left home without looking back.
Duanmu Jin: "Qiu Shanhe, why are you involved with him? Am I not his partner? Why did you leave me and go with him?"
Qiu Shanhe: "Today's play is about him playing the leading role. It won't work without him. Just wait and see!"
He left Duanmu Jin alone and got into Duanmu Lin's car, feeling puzzled.
On the way, Duanmu Lin asked him tentatively: "Why do you want Hongtai to be left with nothing? It seems that you hate him even more than we do."
Qiu Shanhe: "I have no personal vendetta against him. I'm doing this simply because he's made things so chaotic for us military and police officers. Only when he steps down will we see a new atmosphere here."
Duanmu Lin: "That's a very good original intention. Just don't forget your original intention."
Before they knew it, they had arrived at the Sky Blue Casino.
This time, Cheng Wanjin arranged another VIP room for them.
For fairness and safety, both of them only brought one person with them.
Hongtai: "Duanmu Lin, please let Rongrong go! I know I've done something wrong to you, and I understand your vindictive nature. I can agree to any conditions you ask for, including money, land, and even the death of any person. But I just can't resign."
Duanmu Lin glanced at Qiu Shanhe, then smiled and said to Hongtai, "We Chinese have an old saying: 'As long as the green mountains remain, there is no need to worry about running out of firewood.' Everyone knows that your current prosperity and wealth are all thanks to your official position. If you ever get angry and try to deal with me again, wouldn't my efforts be in vain and I would be in great danger. So I must cut off your escape route before I can rest assured!"
Hongtai: "Is it worth it for you to go to such great lengths for a woman? Leave some way out so that we can meet again in the future!"
Duanmu Lin: "Relax, I'm only cutting off your escape route, not your descendants. Why are you so nervous? Seeing Rongrong calling me dad for so many years, I won't kill you. You still want to bargain? Choose between your future and Rongrong!"
Hongtai: "Is there really no room for negotiation?"
Duanmu Lin: "No room for negotiation. If you delay any longer, you will have to collect the body of my illegitimate daughter."
Hongtai: "You...you are so cruel."
Duanmu Lin: "No ruthlessness, no courage. Didn't you also kill Ji Jihua for your own benefit? We are all the same kind of people, so don't blame anyone else!"
Hongtai walked up to Duanmu Lin and knelt on the ground with a plop.
"We are all fathers, can't you understand my feelings?"
"I cannot accept such a generous gift from General Hongtai! I understand your feelings, but please also understand my concerns."
"If I resign, will you really let Rongrong go and promise not to touch her again?"
Qiu Shanhe: "I promise, I will send her to her uncle's house and no one will dare to bully her anymore."
Hongtai: "Who do you think you are? How much weight can your guarantee hold?"
Duanmu Lin: "Then I also promise you that I will not touch her again, and I will not allow anyone to bully her. Is that okay now?"
Hongtai stood up and said, "I feel relieved with your words."
Suddenly, he shouted towards the door: "Master Wu Shenghua, did you hear what he said?"
At this time, the door was opened and Wu Shenghua walked in.
He glanced at both sides and said, "I listened carefully to your conversation just now and have a general understanding of the whole situation. Let me put it this way, Ji Jihua is my sister Rongrong and my niece. I cannot let my sister die in vain, nor do I want her only bloodline to suffer any harm. The most fair way to deal with this now is for you, Hongtai, to resign. As long as you do so, then I, Wu Shenghua, who is both Rongrong's uncle and the guarantor of this matter, can guarantee that no one will dare to harm her in the future."
After hearing this, Hongtai finally breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as you keep your word, it's fine."
Wu Shenghua: "Even if you and Ji Jihua have all kinds of faults, Rongrong is innocent after all. You can distrust anyone, but you can trust me as your uncle and I will never harm my own nephew."
Hongtai: "Just wait for my news!" After that, he and his men left the Tianlan Casino.
