Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

Qian Duoduo's arrogance had reached its peak; he seemed to want to trample the entire city lord's mansion under his feet, proving the saying that when a tree falls, the monkeys scatter, and when a wall collapses, everyone pushes it down.

"Yes Yes……"

The trillionaire stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence.

He was worried that when Qian Duoduo found out the consequences, he would slap him across the face in front of the city lord.

"Are you mute? Speak up! The city lord isn't an outsider!"

Qian Duoduo shouted angrily.

He not only didn't treat the city lord as an outsider, but also took this opportunity to humiliate Lin Ping and make the city lord lose face.

"It was bought by a very powerful man."

Wan Qianyi answered in a low voice.

"It seems that Jinmanlou has established connections with powerful merchants again. That's good. We should do more business together in the future. Well done!"

Qian Duoduo nodded and kept praising her.

Upon hearing this, Wan Qianyi shook his head repeatedly: "No, we can't continue cooperating with him."

"Nonsense! Our Jinmanlou has always adhered to the principle that money talks. Since the other party has money, why can't we cooperate?"

Qian Duoduo said in a sarcastic tone.

He deliberately mocked the city lord's mansion for being broke and no longer having the right to act like a big shot in front of him.

Wan Qianyi's lips trembled incessantly, each word caught in his throat, and just as Qian Duoduo was about to erupt in anger, he finally mustered his courage: "That sir bought all the stones and smashed them to pieces in public, saying that gambling on stones harms both people and oneself. From now on, every batch of stones we bring in, he'll smash them all, no matter how much it costs, to educate the people..."

Jin Manlou's goal was simply to sell all the stones, and he didn't care what the buyers did with them.

However, Qian Duoduo had a keen business sense. He knew what kind of reaction the other party's words would cause. Perhaps, after a few times, no one would be willing to gamble on stones anymore, and the industry would decline in Jiangcheng.

Qian Duoduo stumbled and nearly fell to the ground. He grabbed the chair that was about to be removed and asked weakly, "Who...who is this man? Does he want to kill me?! Immediately take the most valuable gift and beg this man. We'll agree to any condition as long as he stops causing trouble!"

Qian Duoduo was extremely anxious, seemingly understanding Wan Qianyi's feelings. Having dominated the business world for decades, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. To describe it aptly, he was frustrated!

However, he had absolutely no way to retaliate. Gambling on stones is inherently a dishonorable trade, and the reason why both the wealthy and ordinary people are so enthusiastic about it is because they are kept in the dark and haven't seen the true nature of gambling on stones.

If someone were to spend a great deal of money to educate the people and smash the stones in front of them, making the odds clear at a glance, then naturally no one would dare to gamble on stones anymore.

Therefore, Qian Duoduo had no choice but to beg the other party to stop.

Although he didn't understand why the other party wanted to pick a fight with Jin Manlou, he knew that the other party must have some kind of demand.

Seeing the two of them so anxious, the city lord almost burst out laughing, thinking to himself, "Qian Duoduo, you've finally been caught red-handed! How satisfying!"

The city lord even wanted to visit that family first, so as not to let them be bribed by Qian Duoduo.

"What are you waiting for? Go and beg that man!"

Qian Duoduo, dragging his billions of dollars that looked like dead pigs, was about to walk out of the room.

He naturally knew what the city lord was thinking. Under no circumstances could he let Wan Qianyi reveal the other party's name, lest the city lord get there first.

"Manager Wan, where are you going?"

Lin Ping spoke slowly, revealing an innocent and harmless expression.

"No comment, I cannot continue this conversation!"

Qian Duoduo responded coldly, naturally not giving face to a son-in-law.

Moreover, given the importance of the matter, it's impossible for Qian Duoduo to let Lin Ping extract important information from her.

"Manager Qian seems to have some prejudice against me..."

Lin Ping frowned, his expression complex.

Qian Duoduo really didn't want to talk to Lin Ping. He dragged Wan Qianyi out, but found that the other's body was getting heavier and heavier. To be precise, Wan Qianyi's hands were gripping the table leg and he refused to get out no matter what.

In his haste, Wan Qianyi didn't even notice Lin Ping was right beside him. Upon hearing the voice, he was so terrified, as if struck by lightning, that he had no strength left to reply.

"Manager Wan, it seems your boss doesn't want to talk to me properly..."

Lin Ping bent down and looked down at the bewildered Wan Qianyi, as if he himself had suffered a great injustice.

For some reason, Wan Qianyi broke out in a cold sweat upon seeing that handsome face, as if he had seen a demon from hell. After struggling to break free from Qian Duoduo's dragging, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "Young Master Lin, please have mercy and spare our small shop! This is a small business, and we can't afford your torment."

Qian Duoduo panicked immediately; even a fool could tell what was going on.

The city lord was dumbfounded, and even felt a pang of pain in his heart. A terrifying thought arose in his mind: perhaps Lin Ping had not lied and had really taken 10,000 taels of silver from the warehouse... otherwise, how could he have bought all the stones in Jinmanlou?

"That's not true. Boss Wan's business is no small business. He must be making more than a fortune every day. My city lord's mansion is dirt poor. How could we afford to buy stone?"

Lin Ping kept waving his hands and shaking his head, but his pretentious expression was really annoying.

"Young Master Lin is joking. The City Lord's Mansion is very wealthy. Which bastard said that the City Lord's Mansion is poor?"

Wan Qianyi said confidently, making a face as if he was about to teach the other party a lesson.

"I've forgotten which bastard said it."

Lin Ping spread his hands, looking as if he couldn't help.

Qian Duoduo, standing nearby, gritted her teeth in anger, wishing she could kick Wan Qianyi.

But at this critical juncture, his main concern was to plead with Lin Ping to stop, so he could only temporarily suppress his anger.

Wan Qianyi lowered his head even further, pleading with a mournful face, "Young Master Lin, please forgive my humble actions and spare my shop. If you are willing to stop, I will repay you with my life, even at the cost of my life."

Lin Ping knew that the City Lord's Mansion needed Jin Manlou's help, so he didn't dare to make things too awkward. He turned to the City Lord and said, "Father, I will do whatever you say. What do you suggest?"

The city lord was worried about the silver in the treasury, and hearing this made him somewhat relieved. It turns out that even Jin Manlou has to ask the city lord's mansion for help.

So he put on a righteous and indignant air and said earnestly, "Ping'er, you have been rash in this matter. My City Lord's Mansion and Jin Manlou have had a friendship for over a hundred years. How can we hold onto their weakness? Why not give Manager Qian some face and let it go!"

In Qian Duoduo's view, Lin Ping was just the son-in-law of the city lord's mansion, and this matter was mostly manipulated by the city lord behind the scenes, with the intention of suppressing Jin Manlou's arrogant arrogance.

Qian Duoduo gritted his teeth in anger, but inwardly he admired him. He cupped his hands and said, "Lord City Lord is so benevolent and righteous, I admire you. The loan is negotiable, I beg you, Prince Consort, to show mercy."

Lin Ping was a man who wouldn't let things go once he was in the right. He kicked Wan Qianyi three meters away and said sternly, "You bastards, I'll let you off this time. But if there's a next time, don't blame me for winning all the money in your gambling den!"

Wan Qianyi was so frightened that his face turned pale. He had witnessed Lin Ping's skill in gambling on stones, and he must be an expert at gambling as well. He quickly got up in a panic, bowed and apologized as he left the room.
