ust refresh it once a day. (No pop-up ads on ..tw) If you don't change anything, just wait a few days and look again, that way you can enjoy it even more.What I said, “Hold off on the order, we need t...After finishing his business, Rong Ling went to see Li Lanqiu. Because Li Lanqiu had some control over Rong Ling's actions, she was very happy to see him rush over as soon as he got off work. However, the fact that he went back home in the morning and stayed there for more than two hours made her feel a little uneasy, so she probed gently.

"According to your mom and dad, you didn't sleep all night last night. Otherwise, why don't you take a nap first I'll come call you when it's almost dinner time."

"No need." Rong Ling was used to such probing, so he naturally replied, "I went back to sleep for two hours this morning, it's almost enough."

This would be something Li Lanqiu would enjoy listening to, and it would also comfort her.

Without much explanation, he changed the subject and began to show concern for her. Li Lanqiu naturally put on a frail appearance, hoping to gain Rong Ling's sympathy.

During their conversation, Li Lanqiu naturally steered the topic towards Rong Ling's constant busy schedule. Upon being asked, Rong Ling's face immediately turned unpleasant.

"As for me, I can manage somehow. However, my third uncle hasn't made any progress at all, which is really frustrating!"

Li Lanqiu saw that Rong Jin had fallen into her trap, so she naturally acted concerned and guided him.

"How about trying something else"

"I've tried every possible method, but none of them worked." He frowned and sighed.

Li Lanqiu just hinted.

“Your uncle has been in office for so many years, he must have some connections. You should try to find them. Besides, you’ve been in business for so many years, think about it, are there any people who could help you out at this time If not, didn't you serve in the army back then Look up your old superiors or those comrades-in-arms who have now succeeded, I think we can always find a way.”

Rong Ling frowned and thought for a moment, then shook her head.

"I've thought about all of this, but Uncle Three's situation is serious. The Liu family is relentlessly pursuing him. Without someone with significant power, I fear this matter won't be resolved."

"Then there's no other way" Li Lanqiu questioned. "Think about it again, I think there's a way out, there must be something you haven't considered. If it really doesn't work, we can try to find some unfavorable information about the Liu family and use it against them."

"It's not that simple. After what happened with San Bo, each family will only tighten the defenses of their residential areas even more. Some confidential things are not something you can just get your hands on. Besides, I don't have that ability either."

Li Lanqiu saw that Rong's expression was completely genuine, with no trace of falsehood. Her brow remained creased with worry, and she didn't change at all despite Li Lanqiu's hints. Thinking again, this time she dared to be a bit more direct in her guidance.

"Well, maybe you could ask around"

Rong Ling raised an eyebrow slightly, indicating a hint of doubt.

Li Lanqiu smiled and suggested, "There should be some people who are good at physical skills, or who are more proficient in handling data!" Her hint was obvious enough, wasn't it

Rong Ling still frowned.

Li Lanqiu stopped talking and quietly observed the changes in Rong Ling's expression. After a while, Rong Ling sighed.

"My several brothers, they still have some ability on this side, but, to move the Liu family, it's too difficult. They are all also family men, I can't because of my own selfish desires, drag them in. Right now my third uncle's affair feels like a big quagmire, if we don't find someone who truly has the ability, anyone else who enters will only follow suit and sink deeper."

"Then do it yourself!" Li Lanqiu suddenly said this, her eyes becoming slightly sharp, not letting go of Rong Ling's slightest change in expression.

But Rong Ling did not seem to be startled at all as if he had been caught saying something secret. Instead, like a trapped beast, he tousled his hair and naturally took over Li Lanqiu's words.

"I don't have that kind of ability. If I could handle things myself, I wouldn't have let Third Uncle get to this point, and I wouldn't have let people like the Liu family and Jiang Yichen act so arrogantly!"

This isn't a bad point. Li Lanqiu nodded inwardly after hearing it. If Rong Ling was indeed the outstanding agent as revealed by that person, then things concerning Rong Sanbo should be resolved sooner and wouldn't have resulted in Rong Ling's own company being attacked from all sides that day, ultimately needing his brother's help to fight back.

Could it be that their initial guess was wrong after all

If that were really the case, that would be great. After all, that's exactly what she hoped for!

Rong Ling frowned again, seeming troubled, and said something.

"Forget it, I won't say anymore. You wouldn't understand anyway, and you don't need to worry about me."

Li Lanqiu immediately became anxious, "How can this be!"

She quickly raised a smile, looking gently at Rong Ling.

"How is that possible I was thinking about helping you share some of the load!"

He said, "Take good care of your health. Don't worry about these things!"

"I'll listen along too, maybe I can help come up with some ideas!"

He let out a wry smile. "You're not even in this circle anymore, what kind of solution could you possibly come up with"

Li Lanqiu felt as if she had been looked down upon, so she pretended to be unhappy.

“You can’t say for sure, maybe I can still figure out a way. You know, in history, some major events are often caused by people who seem insignificant. Besides, even if I can't be of much help, I can always do small favors, like giving you advice occasionally. That’s always doable, isn’t it It’s better than Lin Meng, she’s always dragging you down!”

Saying that, he looked deeply at Rong Ling.

She will never miss an opportunity to slander Lin Meng and kick her down.

Rong Ling frowned again.

Li Lanqiu continued to push forward. "Right, I'm right, aren't I"

Rong Ling still frowned, seeming to disagree. She naturally saw it, the question mark.

"Well, am I wrong" she pouted.

Rong Ling shook his head, without saying much. This made Li Lanqiu notice something amiss, feeling that Rong Ling seemed to be hiding something about Lin Meng's matter, so she became a little displeased.

"If you think I'm wrong, just say it. Or is she more important to you than me in your heart That's why you're not happy with what I said about her."

After saying that, her eyes welled up with tears, her lips tightened into a thin line, and a hint of fragile unwillingness flashed across her face.

Feng Ling sighed and reached out to grab Li Lanqiu's hand, stroking it.

"It's not like that, don't overthink it. You know your position in my heart, don't you I just don't want to hurt you by saying it."

Then just say it, if you don't say it, I'll really be heartbroken!

Rong Ling seemed unable to cope with this kind of her, repeatedly begging for forgiveness.

"Alright, alright, I'll say it. Lin Meng helped Jiang's father and son because of Jiang Po Lang, but she ultimately married me, and is the mother of my son. Even if not for me, for our son alone, she wouldn't go too far. In the end, she should still stand by my side. She's capable, makes money, and has a good reputation in the stock market. This can help me. Plus, she has connections with Ruan Cang Sheng of Guangda Group, and that power will also be helpful to me in times of need. That's why I didn't reveal anything just now; I want to win her over and use her resources as much as possible. I didn't tell you earlier because I was afraid that if you knew all this, you would feel useless and get hurt."

Li Lanqiu wasn't heartbroken, but rather filled with envy. How could Lin Meng possess such remarkable abilities! According to Rong Ling's words, if Lin Meng had the power to help him, he would always value her. Then, he would overlook her mistakes and remain tolerant towards them!

How can this be possible!

She also wants to kill Lin Meng and take her place.

Although Rong Ling said it like that, she obviously felt that Rong Ling thought she was incompetent and couldn't help her. That's why she initially didn't want to tell her anything and pushed her away at first. Even if she had a place in Rong Ling's heart, she was afraid that in the end, she might not be Lin Meng's opponent and become just a kept woman instead.

Fuming with anger, she couldn't help but lash out with spiteful remarks.

"Lin Meng seems to be helping the Jiang family's father and son. I feel that her power will eventually be used by them."

"That's why I have to fight for her, keep appeasing her. If she truly ends up completely siding with the Jiang family, then I won't stand a chance!"

Then what could he possibly fight for! The so-called methods, probably just trying to be gentle with her, treating her well

When Li Lanqiu thought of this, her heart ached so much, it was like she had drunk ten bottles of vinegar.

“Is she really that important”

Rong Ling just smiled and patted her hand. "You don't understand these things, so don't think about it too much. Just rest assured, in my heart, you are much more important than her."

Li Lanqiu then deliberately pouted. "Sweet words, I don't believe it."

Rong Ling tightened her face and said seriously, "You know my temper, I wouldn't say empty words to coax you!"

Li Lanqiu's heart skipped a beat. She felt she had been too bold. This was Rong Ling, the epitome of seriousness, not some frivolous playboy. She instinctively wanted to smile and apologize, but a sudden flash of inspiration made her change tactics. Instead, she put on an act of foolish and willful behavior.

"Alright, to convince me, you just have to leave her and marry me!"

Agree, agree quickly!

Her heart began to race, a fever coursing through her body. She prayed silently, hoping he would agree to her wishes. But Rong Ling's response was like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing her fervor.

"No." He basically didn't hesitate at all before refusing. "Lin Meng can help me, I can't get rid of her. Pushing her to the Jiang family father and son right now would make me a fool."

"What am I supposed to do" Li Lanqiu burst into tears, her eyes welling up and streaming down her face as she sobbed. "You said I was more important than her, uh... it turns out you were just lying to me."

He frowned, clearly displeased. "How could I possibly be coaxing you"

You said it yourself, yet you claim you haven't been trying to win me over!

"Autumn Autumn, be reasonable, don't dwell on the minutiae!" His tone became somewhat severe, so severe that Li Lanqiu couldn't continue pretending to be foolish and willful. She could only cover her face and sob uncontrollably, looking heartbroken.

"For you, I would die. Won't you even marry me"

She gave the hint of "death", and sure enough, heard his sigh as expected.

"Autumn, don't look like that." He coaxed her. "Lin Meng can help me, but what can you do for me If you had half the strength of Lin Meng, and supporters as powerful as the Ruan family, I would definitely leave Lin Meng without hesitation and marry you. But Autumn, you have nothing, you can't help at all!"

Li Lanqiu, filled with righteous indignation, impulsively shouted out.

"How can I not be of help I can help you too!"

She was so blinded by Rong Ling's promise that she blurted out such words without a second thought. While Rong Ling had carefully planned and patiently waited for this phrase, it took him a long time! But after all, he was a profound person and wouldn't lose his composure like Li Lanqiu. Therefore, he deliberately asked her with a smiling tone.

What can you help me with

It seemed as if he took her outburst as a momentary fit of anger.

"I can help you—"

At the most critical moment, Li Lanqiu's last shred of awareness as a spy flared up, allowing her to stop the statement just in time. She breathed a sigh of relief and continued in a stammering voice.

“Help you… help you… help you…” She sounded like she was about to burst into tears, as if her argument was just a momentary outburst.

Rong Ling let out a pitying sigh and cut her off, continuing to tease her in a mocking tone.

"What can you do for me Come on, say it!"

Li Lanqiu was in a difficult position, torn between two sides. Although her investigations indicated that Rong Ling was probably not the culprit, the evidence was not conclusive enough to rule him out completely. She had her own tasks to attend to, but she also needed to report back to her superiors and keep them satisfied. Otherwise, no matter what she did, it would be for nothing. If she were exposed as incompetent, she would lose everything. Therefore, she couldn't rush to involve Rong Ling just yet.

She had no choice but to lower her head and feign ignorance, like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.

Rong Ling glanced at her black-brained skull, feeling a bit restless in his heart. But his good self-control allowed him to quickly suppress this negative emotion. He knew that all the talk he just made probably wouldn't have any effect today. So, he changed his tone and smiled at her.

"Alright, alright, I know you're just teasing. You actually took it seriously though Just lift your head up. Look, I didn't expect you to help me anyway. The fact that you even care is enough."

He gave Li Lanqiu a way out, and she smiled sheepishly, lifting her head. Then she changed the subject and chatted with Rong Ling about something else. A while later, Rong Ling accompanied her to finish dinner and then proposed to leave. Li Lanqiu was not happy, looking at him resentfully.

"Stay with me, please It's so cold and quiet in the hospital. It's kind of boring. I get scared being alone at night."

He thought for a moment, as if considering it, but in the end he shook his head disappointingly.

"No, I have to go back. I didn't go back last night, and if I don't go back tonight, my son will make a fuss. Besides, I'm afraid Lin Meng will also have suspicions."

Li Lanqiu just pouted. "If she's suspicious, let her be suspicious. It's not like I didn't come back home all night."

He gave her a mild scolding. “You’re not a child anymore, how can you still say such childish things I’ve already told you what needs to be said.”

Li Lanqiu was startled. She instantly remembered that she should be a woman in her thirties, not a girl in her twenties. Indeed, she shouldn't be too unreasonable or willful.

"I'm going back first. You should go to bed early tonight and get a good rest. I'll come see you again tomorrow. Tonight, let your mom stay with you, so you won't be afraid."

"But I want you to stay with me." She looked pitifully wronged.

He patted her hand, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

She gritted her teeth and called him back, insistently bringing him to the bedside. She made him bend down and planted a kiss on his lips. He smiled, returned the kiss, and walked away, looking happy and lighthearted as if this kiss had truly lifted his spirits.

Li Lanqiu's heart was filled with joy, and she became even more convinced that Rong Ling had feelings for her. However, when she thought about Rong Ling going home to Lin Meng, her good mood instantly vanished.

Men, as they always are, put their careers above love. But this is exactly the kind of decision Rong Ling wouldn't make, that's not like Rong Ling at all. The Rong Ling she investigated should be like this. By making this choice, he proves he wasn't putting on a facade in front of her, this is his true self.

Okay, according to his thoughts, she had always been unable to help him and was inferior to Lin Meng. Therefore, he definitely wouldn't marry her. So, she had to act quickly and take advantage of this opportunity to help Rong San Bo. Otherwise, once this village passed, there would be no such shop. Rong Ling was always powerful and rarely needed help from others. But, her special agent identity was her biggest bargaining chip, also her last one. She had to reveal it at the right time, otherwise, she was afraid that Rong Ling not only wouldn't be recruited but would even distance himself from her because of her identity!

After all, that's treason!

This is a bit of a challenge!

Li Lanqiu couldn't help but frown.

It seems she should guide Rong Ling to develop hatred. The Liu and Jiang families are not a worry, from what Rong Ling said, his hatred is already evident, but it's still not enough. He should hate more, hate those who captured Rong Sanbo, then hate the organization that interrogated Rong Sanbo. And best of all, he should even hate this country.

If Rong Ling cooperated and walked to that step, then she could rest assured and take action boldly. It all depended on her methods; she had better think carefully about it.

Actually, she overthought things. In this matter, Rong Ling would only be extremely cooperative. To lure her in, he even pretended to kiss her back, just saying a few words. What difficulty could that pose for him!

He never expected to be kissed so quickly. He even had to return the kiss. Rong Ling's face looked normal, but inside he was extremely uncomfortable. He insisted on getting into his car. As soon as the door closed, he immediately reached out and wiped his lips hard, feeling a faint sense of nausea. This woman, in his heart now, wasn't even as good as a stranger. He had always been cold and heartless. He didn't even want to look at strangers, let alone someone like Li Lanqiu who was so despicable. This woman used their past feelings to manipulate and scheme against him. She was full of ulterior motives and could act like nothing happened in front of him. She wasn't the Li Lanqiu from the past anymore. She was a person he found repulsive in every way!

Today there was a chance, but she seemed though intelligent, not stupid, and timely shut her mouth. Then he would have to give more strong medicine. She wanted him to divorce Lin Meng and marry her, how beautiful she thought! She wasn't even as good as one strand of hair on Lin Meng’s head!

His face darkened as he began to ponder his next move.

The car sped towards home at incredible speed. At that destination, there was someone who needed him to give his all, to protect with his life!

"It was about ten minutes away when the car suddenly stopped. Rong Ling, who had been lost in thought, came to her senses and raised her eyes, silently questioning the driver with her gaze."

"Boss, someone is blocking the car."

Rong Ling narrowed his eyes and looked forward. By the light of the car, he saw a vaguely familiar figure.

The next second, he was sure, it was Xiao Yi!

What is he doing!

He looked at Xiao Yi leaning against the black Rolls Royce, straightened up, a cigarette dangling from his lips, and walked towards him slowly. The red ember flickered in the darkness, like the two eyes of a wild beast. And as he walked, seemingly casual yet agile, it was like a beast trying its best to disguise itself.

In such a situation, with such an interception, it definitely won't be anything good!

Rong Ling sat up slightly, mentally preparing herself to face the situation.

Xiao Yi walked closer, bent down, and tapped the car window with his finger. He was smoking a cigarette and said something.

Let's talk.

The cigarette smoke veiled his eyes, making them seem hazy in the night, obscuring his true thoughts. Yet, the way he held the cigarette, a command unspoken but impossible to refuse, carried an aura of sinister power.

He seems to have been stimulated and needs to vent!

Rong Ling thought for a moment and had a plan in mind. He let out a cold snort in his heart. If this person was so "interested," then he should go down and have a good talk with him.

He pushed open the door, Xiao Yi with his hands in his pockets, shifted to one side. Rong Ling looked at him, extending his long legs.

All the people present are top-tier individuals. As soon as they lay down their cards, everyone can understand each other's strengths and weaknesses.

Xiao Yi still held a cigarette in his mouth, taking an even greater step back. He smiled at Rong Ling, appearing innocent yet with a hint of wickedness.

Rong Ling, with a smirk on his lips, emerged from the car. Then he straightened up and looked at Xiao Yi arrogantly.

Just then, Xiao Yi made his move. Like a leopard hidden in the forest waiting for its prey to come closer, he finally tore apart his facade of laziness and calmness, instantly revealing his ferocious side. With absolute arrogance, immense confidence, and astonishing explosive power, he charged towards his target.

In a direct confrontation, he showed the utmost respect for an opponent like Rong Ling. He wouldn't resort to underhanded tactics against him.

Rong Ling faced Xiao Yi's howling attack with her usual cold smile, calmly meeting it head-on.

This man has always been fearless in the face of challenges. The more fierce, the better he likes it!
