Under Yi Tianran's arrangement, the three boys anonymously acquired all the shares that Yi Qilin had offered.
With the money from selling the shares, Yi Qilin quickly paid off all the debts for the projects.
The money he had just received was gone before he could even enjoy it, but it was far from enough; he still had a considerable debt to repay in the future.
At this moment, he had been driven to the brink of despair and had nowhere else to go but to seek help from Chu Lin once again.
"President Chu, I beg you, I really have no other choice. Yi Tianran is going too far, leaving me no way out. Even Fu Yunchen is her accomplice. She has such a powerful backer, yet she's been hiding in the shadows with her disguise all along..."
Chu Lin was initially annoyed and even wanted to kick him out.
Upon hearing Fu Yunchen's name, Chu Lin's expression changed drastically, and he pressed, "Wait, you said Fu Yunchen? With his status, would he go after someone from the mere Yi family?"
Yi Qilin was taken aback, thinking to himself that he had indeed not taken his words to heart earlier.
So in this guy's eyes, only Fu Yunchen is an opponent, and everyone else is cannon fodder!
Suppressing his resentment, Yi Qilin said with a bitter smile, "Of course, President Fu wouldn't take me seriously, but what can I do? My cousin, who 'came back to life,' is his woman! The two of them are working together to try and kill me!"
"Fu Yunchen, Yi Tianran!" Chu Lin squinted and gritted his teeth as he called out the names of the two people.
His mind raced, and he quickly guessed that the mysterious woman who had been following Fu Yunchen was probably the cousin Yi Qilin had mentioned.
Recalling how he had been completely outmaneuvered by the two of them during this period, a surge of rage welled up in his heart.
He quickly came up with an idea.
“I can help you if you want, but—” Chu Lin’s tone shifted, his gaze turning cold as he looked at him and said in a low voice, “I want you to sabotage the renovation project that Fu’s family just won the bid for. Use whatever means necessary, as long as Fu’s family suffers, at any cost.”
"Give it to me?" Yi Qilin was clearly taken aback, and said with a bitter face, "I can barely protect myself now, how could I possibly give it to the Fu family..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chu Lin interrupted him coldly, "I can provide you with a lot of money and manpower, but you must do it, otherwise... I will make you regret cooperating with me."
Meeting his eyes, which were as cold as a venomous snake, Yi Qilin's heart trembled, and he dared not disobey him any longer.
...
In fact, no matter how many people Chu Lin sent, it wouldn't make a difference. If you wanted to sabotage the Fu family's project, you first needed to get close to the Fu family...
Thinking of this, Yi Qilin paused, and a surprising light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
How could he forget that woman, Liu Meiling?
Hadn't she already infiltrated the Fu family and been waiting for my orders?
Yi Qilin was so excited that he went back and changed into a suit, applied hair wax, and dressed himself up to look handsome and dashing.
Then I went to the flower shop and ordered 99 roses, and then drove to Liu Meiling's residence.
Liu Meiling had just come out of the house after applying perfume when she saw the person who had arrived. A hint of undisguised surprise flashed in her eyes. "Qilin, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yi Qilin immediately took out the bouquet of roses in his hand and said with a guilty look, "Meiling, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have hit you in a moment of impulse a while ago. I've been regretting it ever since I got back, but I've never had the face to apologize to you. I finally made up my mind today. Can you forgive me?"
Liu Meiling's smile froze, and she asked in disbelief, "You came here today... specifically to apologize to me?"
"Of course! Don't be surprised. I've always cared about you, and besides, you're the only woman I've had all these years."
Yi Qilin spoke with utmost sincerity and deep affection: "Last time... when I told you that you were not worthy of marrying me, it was all against my will. It was only after you woke me up that I realized that I had already fallen in love with you."
Liu Meiling stared blankly, as if she couldn't believe these words would come from Yi Qilin's mouth.
Her expression was a mix of crying and laughing: "You said you love me?"
“Yes.” Yi Qilin nodded solemnly. “When I said last time that your status was not good enough for me, it was actually because of my father’s influence. From childhood, he instilled in me the idea that I must marry a rich lady of equal social standing when I grow up, so as to be worthy of his cultivation.”
I admire him and have always believed in his words, so I dare not have any thoughts of rebellion.
It wasn't until midnight, when I recalled the tears you shed for me, that I realized my heart ached so much I could hardly breathe.
It was then that I realized I had unknowingly fallen in love with you while we were spending time together.
Liu Meiling's eyes reddened as she murmured, "So you care about me this much!"
Yi Qilin shoved the flowers into her arms, placed his hands on her shoulders, and said sincerely, "Meiling, as long as you do one more thing for me, and you finish this task, you will no longer need to be an undercover agent. Then I want you to come back to my side, and I want to marry you!"
Liu Meiling's heart skipped a beat, her nose turned red, and she forced back her tears, asking in a hoarse voice, "What...do you want me to do?"
“Aren’t you working at Fu’s now? I want you—” Yi Qilin whispered the rest of the sentence in her ear.
Liu Meiling's pupils contracted slightly, and her heart skipped a beat: "But I... with my status, how could I..."
"Aren't you and Yi Tianran good friends?" Yi Qilin's eyes revealed shrewdness and calculation. "You helped her when you were young, and she trusts you so much. As long as you try your best to please her, you'll have a chance... If you can do it, I guarantee I'll marry you. If you don't believe me, we can sign a contract and a marriage certificate!"
"No—" Liu Meiling smiled and looked up, her expression fragile, like a broken doll. "I believe in you. You know Qilin. You have always been my everything. I would give my life for you."
"Baby, thank you." Yi Qilin excitedly leaned in and kissed her.
Liu Meiling passively endured it, and seeing that he wanted to continue, she pushed him away this time, blushing, and said, "No, I'm on my period today, it's not convenient..."
"I'm sorry." Yi Qilin gently patted her head and said affectionately, "You must be very tired. Rest well at home. I'll come see you another day."
“No…” Liu Meiling shook her head nervously, “You can’t come here so suddenly again. If Yi Tianran finds out, it will be a loss. I’ll come find you instead!”
Seeing that she was still worried about him even at this time, Yi Qilin felt extremely proud.
