The matter of Lin Chi-kai delivering the letter wasn't a secret, it could even be said to be open and aboveboard.

However, as soon as he sent the letter out, his father immediately called him over for a chat. This was something he didn't expect … His father had more control over the Lin family than he had imagined.

Lin Chi-kai was a bit uncomfortable, but that was his father. He had always been obedient and filial, so he could only suppress the trace of dissatisfaction in his heart.

"You did a good job delivering the letter to Xingyuan."

Mount Lindau praised his son first. He had a smile on his face, showing that he was in a good mood: "Now that the Xu and Hong Families have an engagement, if the two families get married, the situation of the three major families in the Dong River will change. Our Lin family will be too passive.

If you can pursue Xingyuan, then we will get married to the XU Family. This way, the current situation won't be broken.

"

He and the Hong Family already had a death feud. He didn't want to see the Hong Family and the XU Family get married and become more powerful. Although he didn't act against the Hong Family on the surface, he deeply hated them for killing his wife. He never met with the Hong Family alone. Without the XU Family's intervention, perhaps the two families would have already fought.

Now, for the sake of the XU Family, Mount Lindau endured his hatred and ignored the Hong Family.

Mount Lindau was nearly 50 years old, but he maintained himself well and was strict and self-disciplined. Even at home?

He also wore a white shirt, blue trousers, and a dark blue vest with white stripes.

His figure wasn't out of shape. Short?

His hair was neatly combed, and his face looked tense because he didn't smile for many years.

Although time didn't show mercy, it wasn't difficult to see the handsome spirit of his youth.

At this time, he was sitting on a long sofa, leaning back on the chair. Let go?

His body was like a crouching tiger, able to kill people in the blink of an eye. Perhaps because of the hatred accumulated in his heart for many years, even if he wore a refined suit, it couldn't hide the hostility in his aura.

He turned the ring on his finger unconsciously, and did not look directly at his son as he spoke.

Lin Chi-kai was in awe of such a father. He lowered his head and explained, "Xingyuan is my younger sister. Her illness hasn't improved, so I thought..."

"Alright.

Mount Lindau interrupted him. The reason why Lin Chi-kai cared about Xu Xingyuan was not his concern. He only cared about the results.

If Lin Chi-kai could win Xu Xingyuan's heart, the marriage between the Lin family and Xu Xingyuan would be extremely beneficial to the Lin family's current status as one of the three major families in the Dong River.

Otherwise, once the Hong Family rose to power, Mount Lindau was deeply afraid that the two families would join forces to ostracize the Lin family. At that time, the Lin family's position would be in jeopardy.

"Xingyuan is a good girl. You should interact with her more. If you can make her fall in love with you, that would be even better.

Mount Lindau smiled, "Xu Xingcheng and Hong Lan get married, and you get married to Xingyuan, then the balance of our three families will not be broken."

"Alright.

It wasn't that Mount Lindau didn't think of directly proposing a marriage alliance to the XU Family, but Xu Xingyuan's situation was special. She had always been introverted and had emotional problems. He was afraid that if she didn't agree, she would do something irreversible and cause the Lin and Xu Families to become enemies. Therefore, he didn't dare to force her too much. He only hoped that the children of the two families could 'let nature take its course.'

"You can put other things aside first. The most important thing is to win Xingyuan's heart."

Mount Lindau frowned, "I'll find someone to take over your work tomorrow. You should pay more attention to Xingyuan's matters in your free time and strive to marry her as soon as possible."

"Alright."

"Father, I'm not..." Lin Chi-kai wanted to say something but stopped. He really only had feelings for Xu Xingyuan as a sister. How could an older brother marry his younger sister?

Lin Chi-kai didn't expect his actions to be misinterpreted to this extent. He sighed silently.

"You are a sensible child. You have to understand the severity of the matter."

Mount Lindau vaguely warned, "The Lin family will be taken over by you in the future."

"Alright."

"I understand, Father."

Lin Chi-kai lowered his head.

Sensible. This word blocked all his words.

"It's fine. You can leave now. I'll find someone to take over from you tomorrow."

Mount Lindau didn't even look at him and directly ordered him to leave.

Lin Chi-kai left the living room. He felt exhausted all over. He raised his head and looked at the ceiling.

The chandelier hanging from the ceiling was still from more than ten years ago. More than ten light bulbs gathered together, making it incomparably bright. However, over the years, the chandelier had become a little worn out. One of the lights was even broken, but since the owner didn't give the order to change it, the servants didn't say anything.

The general appearance of the house was still the same as it was when his little mother was still alive. Every year, they would just change some things to the same style and maintain the appearance of the mistress when she was still alive. It was as if they wanted to preserve the warm memories of that time.

Lin Chi-kai felt that this big house preserved the warmth from more than ten years ago and also trapped his father's heart.

"Young Master..." Qi Fei, who was guarding the living room door, called out worriedly.

"I'm fine."

Lin Chi-kai lowered his head. "Qi Fei, help me organize the documents in my hands. Someone will take over tomorrow."

"Yes."

Qi Fei couldn't help but frown. "Young Master, you've always been in charge of these things. Why did Master let someone else take over?

Is it... "

He was a little worried that some irreparable gap had appeared between the father and son. How did the young master become a mere figurehead overnight?

"No, don't think too much."

Lin Chi-kai was a little embarrassed to speak. He could only vaguely ignore the cause of this matter.

"I understand, Young Master."

Qi Fei replied.

Lin Chi-kai and Xu Xingyuan had been exchanging letters for a few days. Today, Lin Chi-kai was invited by Ellie Gallery.

He was invited to help deliver a painting to Xu House.

He suspected that this was his father's handiwork. Otherwise, Lady Ellie and Xu Xingyuan already knew each other. Why would she need him to deliver a painting?

Lin Chi-kai couldn't disobey his father. He could only let Qi Fei put the painting in the car and drive all the way to Xu House.

His brows unconsciously furrowed. His heart?

There was no one he could confide in.

He unconsciously looked out the window and saw his brother Luo Fusheng walking out of the pawnshop. Luo Fusheng proudly tossed the thing in his hand, then put it into his pocket, put on his sunglasses, and rode off on his motorcycle.

Pawnshop?

Lin Chi-kai frowned.

Luo Fusheng was the second-in-command of Hong Bang. What matter required him to personally come to the pawnshop?

Even if he wanted to collect protection fees, he had his underlings to do it for him...

However, he had always been a big spender. It was normal for him to be short of money when he couldn't save money.

Lin Chi-kai was a little worried that he had spent all his money again and came to pawn things.

If the second-in-command needed to rely on pawning to survive, he would be a laughing stock.

It seemed that after going to Xu House, he would go to Megawatt. If he ran out of money, he would find a way to give him some … Lin Chi-kai wasn't worried that Luo Fusheng would owe him money.

However, Lin Chi-kai had known him since he was young and knew his temper well. He liked to deal with everything by himself. Sometimes, he didn't like to let others know when there was a problem. If he asked directly, Luo Fusheng might just laugh it off.

Among the three brothers, Lin Chi-kai was the most worried about him.

Xu Xingcheng grew up in the XU Family, a family of police officers. His father was the chief of the Police station. He lived like a prince and was relatively simple. He couldn't hide anything.

Luo Fusheng mingled in the underworld and was known as the Jade King of Hell. He appeared to be frivolous and impetuous, but he hid his thoughts very deeply. Even though Lin Chi-kai had known him since he was young, sometimes he couldn't guess what he was thinking.

Lin Chi-kai was afraid that Luo Fusheng would suffer, so he didn't say anything. He would only bear it himself.

"Did anything happen in Hong Bang recently?"

Lin Chi-kai thought about it and felt that Luo Fusheng shouldn't be so short of money. Moreover, there was the eldest daughter of Hong Lan. Hong Bang?

Who would dare to make Luo Fusheng suffer?

Even Houli's third-in-command couldn't shake Luo Fusheng's position.

Qi Fei answered while driving, "Hong Bang hasn't been a big deal recently, but Xinglong Guan has been unrelenting. Last night, I heard that they went to the Fulong Theater to cause trouble again."

"What?"

"Cause trouble again?"

Lin Chi-kai frowned. "There's something wrong with Xinglong Guan recently … They're so high-profile. Who's supporting them?

Is the Fulong Theater okay? "

Was it because Luo Fusheng didn't have the income from the Fulong Theater that he was short of money?

But this logic didn't make sense … Luo Fusheng didn't lack shops that collected protection fees.

"Master Xu goes to the Fulong Theater every day. Last night, he helped to resolve the situation, so the theater wasn't affected. It's still open today."

Qi Fei said bluntly.

"Is Xingcheng not at home?

Accompanying Xingyuan? Why does he go to the Fulong Theater every day? "

Lin Chi-kai was a little dissatisfied. "Xingyuan's condition finally improved because of him, but as her brother, he goes out every day."

"Alright."

Qi Fei didn't know how to respond and could only remain silent.

Lin Chi-kai scolded and dropped it. After delivering the painting to the XU Family, he chatted with Xu Xingyuan for a while and asked Qi Fei to drive to the Megawatt.

"Hey, Big Brother, why did you come over?"

Luo Fusheng and his follower Lo Cheng were walking out in a hurry. They were a little surprised to see Lin Chi-kai walk in.

"Nothing much, so I came to see you. I heard that Xinglong Theater has been provoking Hong Bang recently. Are you okay?"

Lin Chi-kai said.

"Me?

What can happen to me? "

Luo Fusheng laughed. "Big Brother, others don't know, but don't you know me?

In the Dong River, who dares to provoke me?

Do they want to die? "

His attitude was frivolous and extremely arrogant.

"It's good that you're okay. I was worried that something might have happened to you when you went to the pawnshop today."

Lin Chi-kai looked at his expression seriously. Seeing that he didn't seem to be faking it, he was a little relieved.

"I went to the pawnshop because …" Luo Fusheng said casually, but then he thought of something and smiled evilly. He hid the reason and didn't mention it. "I'm fine, thanks, Big Brother."

He was quite touched that Lin Chi-kai specially came to see him because of a small matter. He, Luo Fusheng, was grateful.

He patted Lin Chi-kai. "Big Brother, I have something to do."

"Okay.

"Okay, go do your thing."

Lin Chi-kai smiled. "If there's anything, remember to tell Big Brother."

"Thanks."

"Thanks."

Luo Fusheng reached into his pocket and took out a pair of glasses.

It was hooked out and fell to the ground.

Lin Chi-kai saw it and bent down to pick it up.

Then his expression froze.
