The meeting building seemed to have been reserved. The first floor was empty and there was no one even at the counter, let alone other people.

"Master Wang, please come in!"

The man who brought Wang Chengen here waved his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

There was a faint scar on the man's face, and his eyes were bloodshot and extremely fierce, with a hint of murderous intent. It was obvious at first glance that he was a ruthless character who would kill without blinking an eye.

"Hmph, I'd like to see what kind of show you are putting on." Wang Cheng'en said as he flicked his sleeves and walked into the meeting building with a square step.

The building was very quiet, without even a sound.

Scarface took Wang Chengen all the way to the top floor of the meeting building.

There are not many private rooms on the top floor, only nine, which implies the number nine and five.

As soon as Wang Chengen walked upstairs, he heard Lin Rui's voice coming from one of the private rooms.

"Ah Fu, is Prime Minister Wang here?"

"Your Highness, it is Lord Wang." Scarface Ah Fu said respectfully to the room where the voice came from.

"Since Prime Minister Wang is here, why don't you please come in quickly?" Lin Rui seemed a little impatient, and his tone was full of dissatisfaction.

"Lord Wang, please!" Ah Fu made a gesture of invitation and stood behind Wang Chengen, blocking the way downstairs.

"Humph."

Wang Chengen snorted coldly and walked towards the private room where Lin Rui was.

Suddenly, the sound of stringed instruments and orchestras came from the room, which sounded extremely pleasant to the ears, but Wang Chengen had no intention of enjoying it at all.

When I arrived at the door, I could see through the window paper several women with graceful figures dancing seductively.

When Wang Chengen opened the door, he saw Lin Rui sitting on a chair with his eyes slightly narrowed and an expression of enjoyment. There were two women beside him, massaging Lin Rui's shoulders and legs.

Wang Chengen was furious when he saw all this. As a prince, he should not be so extravagant even when enjoying himself. He was ready to turn around and leave.

"Prime Minister Wang, now that you are here, why do you need to leave?" Lin Rui's voice was without a trace of emotion.

Wang Chengen turned around, only to find that Ah Fu had been standing behind him, blocking his way.

Wang Chengen walked into the room without any greeting and sat down on the chair opposite Lin Rui.

"Your Highness, I wonder what is the purpose of sending people to bring me here by force?" Wang Chengen did not look at Lin Rui, but looked at his nose, his nose at his mouth, and then asked his heart.

“Haha, Prime Minister Wang, don’t mind it too much. It’s because our subordinates are ignorant. This prince asked them to invite Prime Minister Wang, but I didn’t expect that they would force Prime Minister Wang to come here. They are really arrogant and should be punished!” Lin Rui said with a wry smile.

"Subordinates deserve to die!"

Ah Fu was very aware. After listening to Lin Rui's words, he immediately slapped himself twice in the face. He slapped himself so hard that a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

Wang Chengen naturally wouldn't fall for it. He looked straight ahead, chuckled, and asked, "What is the purpose of bringing me here, Your Highness the Second Prince?"

Lin Rui waved his hand. Seeing this, the people around him left the room and closed the door. Now, only Lin Rui and Wang Chengen were left in the room.

Lin Rui stood up, poured a glass of wine for Wang Chengen, and said, "Prime Minister Wang, please try it first. It's the best Xinghua Village wine."

Wang Chengen seemed like an old monk in meditation. He didn't look at Lin Rui, nor did he drink. He just asked expressionlessly, "If your Highness the Second Prince has nothing else to do, I won't keep you company any longer. I am tied up in official duties and cannot get away. I will take my leave now."

Lin Rui's face turned cold, and he immediately returned to his previous state.

"Hahaha, Prime Minister Wang is just anxious. This is the case. This prince will not keep you in suspense. This prince invited Prime Minister Wang here today because he wants you to do something for me." Lin Rui did not intend to beat around the bush and said immediately.

Wang Chengen remained silent and did not leave.

Because Wang Chengen knew that even if he left at this moment, Lin Rui would not let him get his wish. It would be better to listen to what Lin Rui had to say so that he could be prepared in the future.

Lin Rui smiled and said, "This matter is not too difficult. It only requires a few words from Prime Minister Wang."

"I think Prime Minister Wang is aware of General Nian's entrapment. My father will definitely send someone to rescue him. When the time comes, I hope Prime Minister Wang can make a suggestion and let my brother be the second marshal. If this is accomplished, Prime Minister Wang will definitely benefit from it. What do you think?"

When Wang Chengen heard this, he understood Lin Rui's idea.

It's nothing more than a simple method of killing someone with a borrowed knife.

The Huns' plan of besieging and attacking the reinforcements is now known to everyone. Lin Rui cannot be unaware of it. In this way, Lin Rui wants to use the Huns to eliminate Lin Fan. Who knows, Nian Gui may also die on the grassland.

At that time, the Nian family would surely be caught up in internal strife, but without Lin Fan and the Nian family, there would be no resistance for Lin Rui to become the heir to the empire, and everything would go smoothly.

Wang Chengen despised such despicable means the most, so naturally he would not agree to it.

"Your Highness, the Second Prince, I think you have found the wrong person. I am leaving now."

After saying this, Wang Chengen stood up and made a gesture to leave.

Lin Rui smiled, as if he had expected this, and said with a smile: "This prince still hopes that Prime Minister Wang will consider it. Why be so stubborn?"

Wang Chengen did not stop and walked to the door.

Lin Rui's eyes turned cold, and he sneered, "It seems that Prime Minister Wang has a daughter in his hometown. She is quite good-looking and is currently a guest in this prince's house. Prime Minister, don't worry."

Wang Chengen paused, just a pause, without stopping, he pushed the door open and walked out.

“Haha, the guy who refuses to accept a toast and drinks as punishment thinks he is noble. But in this prince’s opinion, he is nothing more than that.” Lin Rui said coldly with a mocking smile on his face.

A short, dark, fat man walked out from behind a screen, approached Lin Rui, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Your Highness. With the hostage in hand, we don't have to worry about Wang Chengen not agreeing."

"Fu'an, once this matter is accomplished, this prince will reward you handsomely." Lin Rui said with narrowed eyes.

Fu An was immediately delighted and flattered: "Your Highness, what are you talking about? Fu An is just a dog under your Highness. As long as your Highness needs me, Fu An is willing to do anything."

Lin Rui nodded in satisfaction, looked at Fu An and said, "Dog? Come on, bark a few times and let this prince hear it."

After hearing what Lin Rui said, Fu An immediately crawled on the ground and barked like a dog: "Woof woof woof!"

Lin Rui laughed with satisfaction, then clapped his hands, and the singer who had walked out earlier came back in.

The house suddenly became full of decadence and extravagance, and from time to time one could hear Fuan's dog barking.

Lin Rui narrowed his eyes slightly, looked towards the south, and muttered to himself:

"Lin Fan, Lin Fan, let me see how you will deal with this time."
