Beauty and the Bodyguard

“Wait.”

“How confident are you that you can convince him?” Lin Yi interrupted.

Li Zhu Long choked.

The fact that Li Tianchong was able to do such a thing proved that his father was no longer that important in his eyes.

Especially after the whole house bowed down to Lin Yi, Li Tianchong didn’t think much of it. He felt that he was too weak as the head of the house, and he was being stepped on by a foreigner!

Under such circumstances, if he were to persuade Li Tianchong to accept the mission to enter the ninth level of the imperial prison, the situation would be unimaginable.

“It’s important,” Lin Yi said, leaning back in his chair.”Call him over. I’ll explain myself.”

“This…”

“My son is not very sensible. If he were to offend Manager Lin in front of him…” Li Zhulong hesitated.

“Thank you, Manager Lin.” Li Zhu Long immediately bowed deeply.

After Li Zhu Long left the room, Cheng Shuang ‘er couldn’t help but say,” Young Master, Shuang’ er felt that he would have agreed from the beginning. He was just deliberately putting on a show.”

“You can tell?”

Lin Yi nodded. He wasn’t surprised that she had this level of comprehension.

Although he had said so much just now, Li Tianchong’s trip to the imperial prison was exactly what Li Zhu Long wanted.

In the face of the family’s interests, Li Tianchong’s son was not that important. If he had to give up, he had to. Li Zhu Long was very clear about this.

Moreover, as long as there was enough security, it was not a bad thing to let Li Tianchong go to the ninth floor of the dungeon to train.

“Young Master, you already knew?”

Cheng Shuang ‘er’s eyes lit up.” He pretended to be unwilling on purpose just to bargain with you!” she suddenly realized.

Lin Yi smiled and nodded.” It’s about the position of the tutor. If House Li doesn’t spend a lot of money on such a big thing, why should they buy a ticket?” By putting on such a show, it’s equivalent to turning his son Li Tianchong into a part of the bargaining chip. Naturally, he will be able to pay less blood.”

“What an old fox.”

Cheng Shuang ‘er sighed.

Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh at her. She was just a maid who hadn’t gone through any proper training, and she could figure out all these things in the blink of an eye. She would probably be able to fool these old foxes in a few years.

Cheng Shuang ‘er couldn’t help but blush when she saw the meaning in Lin Yi’s eyes.

” What?” Cheng Shuang ‘er could not help but ask after a moment of silence.” Since Young Master has already seen through his thoughts, why didn’t you expose him in person? Instead, you went along with his plan and continued acting?”

“I know he’s acting, and he knows that I know he’s acting, but we still have to keep acting. We can’t miss out on any of the necessary steps. We need to develop a good rapport, that’s how we’ll be able to last.”

” With the Li Family of Fengtian Prefecture’s influence, as long as there is a wise person at the helm, they will be a good ally. It is worth it to give them some benefits.”

” And if you squeeze too much, it will cause the other party to bite back. Then, it will become a full meal instead of a full meal. It’s not worth it.”

“What if you have the strength of King Qin’s Mansion now?” Cheng Shuang ‘er suddenly asked.

“Eat it in one go then,” Lin Yi said without hesitation.

Cheng Shuang ‘er was shocked. She bowed down.” Thank you for your teachings, Young Master. I’ve learned.”

“Get me some tea.” Lin Yi smiled.

He had brought Cheng Shuang ‘er here today to speed up her growth. Now, it seemed that the effect was indeed remarkable. She did not disappoint him.

In the time it took to brew half a cup of tea, Li Zhulong brought Li Tianchong in.

As expected, Li Tianchong’s expression was very ugly.

I was very angry.

He couldn’t be blamed for his reaction-he’d been thinking about how to deal with Lin Yi these days, and in his eyes, Lin Yi was the biggest enemy of House Li.

Because of this, he had already quarreled with Li Zhulong several times.

But today, this cowardly father of his didn’t learn his lesson, and continued to kneel down to Lin Yi without a bottom line.

He was the head of the Li family in Fengtian Prefecture!

He could lose face, but the Li family could not.

As for Li Zhu Long, who was at the side, his face was filled with helplessness.

He had high hopes for Li Tianchong, but as a father, he was at his wit’s end when he met a rebellious son who thought he was stronger than anyone else.

In fact, he felt guilty.

Even if Lin Yi gave a verbal promise, it was only a verbal promise. If he was really thrown into the ninth floor of the prison, no one could control what would happen.

However, for the sake of the Fengtian Prefecture’s Li family, this was a necessary sacrifice.

He did not hesitate for even a second.

Li Zhulong opened his mouth, wanting to defend his son, but Lin Yi waved his hand to stop him.

“Patriarch Li, you can leave first. Let me talk to him alone first.”

Li Zhu Long wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he nodded in agreement. He looked at Li Tianchong worriedly and finally turned around to leave.

Li Tianchong glanced at Cheng Shuang ‘er and raised his neck provocatively.” Is this what you mean by alone?”

“House Li is going to be gone soon,” Lin Yi said casually,”Your childish pride is coming to an end. You can enjoy it while House Li still has some time.”

“What did you say?”

Li Tianchong instantly became an enraged lion.

The family’s interests came first. This was the spiritual brand that was imprinted on every Li family disciple since they were young.

He was dissatisfied with Li Zhu Long, his biological father, precisely because he believed that Li Zhu Long was too conservative. To put it bluntly, he was too cowardly. He was not enough to lead the Li family of Fengtian Prefecture to a bright future.

In his eyes, only his actions were truly for the good of the Li family.

In the end, he did not succeed. It was just that he was unlucky.

“House Li is almost gone because of you,” Lin Yi said as he sipped his tea.

“Are you threatening me?”

Li Tianchong immediately unleashed his aura, as if he was ready to go berserk at any moment.

But Lin Yi’s gaze made him feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar, cold sweat dripping down his back.

He was shocked to find that he didn’t dare to attack Lin Yi even with his prideful control.

He didn’t dare to attack Lin Yi directly because he still had his rationality. After all, even he had to admit that Lin Yi was a huge threat to House Li.

However, it was one thing for him not to attack directly. He could not even make a gesture to express his attitude.

It could only mean that he was completely suppressed by Lin Yi’s invisible aura.

The difference in strength between the two sides was not just a small gap in Li Tianchong’s perception. It was like the difference between heaven and earth.

At this moment, Lin Yi was no weaker than those top-tier Kings!
