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

"Young Master Lin has come from afar, why didn't you inform me first? That way, I could have given you a proper welcome." Tian Duoduo maintained a fawning smile throughout.

"Does this kid know the second-in-command?" Fei Wu panicked. He was just a manager of a money shop, far inferior to Tian Duoduo in status. Now that he had offended his boss's acquaintance, he was bound to be retaliated against.

Of course, he wasn't too panicked. Jin Manlou wasn't under Tian Duoduo's control alone. He couldn't risk ruining himself just because he had some personal relationship with Lin Ping. Besides, if Lin Ping had any emotional intelligence, he would have let the matter drop out of the way for Tian Duoduo's sake.

"How could I dare tell you? I'm afraid your boss wouldn't agree." Lin Ping smiled, but his eyes were cold.

Tian Duoduo shuddered and hurriedly retorted, "Young Master Lin, rest assured, as long as I, Tian, ​​am here, I will never let the Boss lay a finger on you."

This is puzzling. You, Tian Duoduo, are just the second-in-command. Logically, you should be currying favor with the leader. How can you speak ill of him behind his back?

Therefore, it seems that Tian Duoduo's relationship with Lin Ping is not merely one of acquaintance; the fearful expression on her face clearly demonstrates her dread towards Lin Ping.

"So, Mr. Tian can make the decision?" Lin Ping asked sarcastically, while also trying to gauge Tian Duoduo's opinion.

Tian Duoduo's attitude directly determined Lin Ping's liking or disliking of Jin Manlou.

"Of course I can make the decision." Tian Duoduo wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, her mind filled with thoughts of Lin Ping's ruthless methods.

He was having a really tough time. He had to please Lin Ping in every way while also dealing with Diao Mao. It was as if all the burdens were on his shoulders.

"I, Lin Ping, want Fei Wu to die!" Lin Ping said with a smile.

Tian Duoduo broke out in a cold sweat again. Murder? This was no joke, but he had to believe it; Lin Ping had never lied to anyone in this regard.

"Lin Ping? His real name is Lin Ping?" Zhou Xiyin stared at Lin Ping with unfamiliar eyes, not knowing which of this man's words were true and which were false.

On the surface, he appears to be an ordinary citizen, yet he is incredibly ruthless, seemingly fearless. Later, he became involved with the Assistant Magistrate, and now he's chatting and laughing with the second-in-command of Jin Manlou.

Lin Ping concealed his name because he was afraid that Jin Manlou would notice him too early. Now that he has met Tian Duoduo directly, there is no need to continue to hide it.

"Young Master Lin is joking. Murder is a crime, and this is not Jiangcheng Prefecture," Tian Duoduo reminded him with a smile.

You, Lin Ping, are the city lord's son-in-law and can act with impunity in Jiangcheng Prefecture, but this is Yingtian Prefecture, right under the emperor's nose. Killing someone in the street is no joke.

"Oh... I see. Then let him kneel down and kowtow to Boss Zhou, shouting 'Grandpa Zhou,' and then I'll break his leg." Lin Ping said in a series of sentences, having already thought of the ending for Fei Wu.

"Hahaha, brat, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you know the second-in-command." Fei Wu laughed loudly, mistakenly thinking that Lin Ping was talking nonsense.

Logically speaking, Tian Duoduo shouldn't have punished his subordinates like this for the sake of his acquaintances; he wouldn't be able to explain himself properly when he got back.

"Boss Tian, ​​you tell him the answer." Lin Ping's laughter was so frivolous, as if he were watching a clown's last struggle.

"Damn it, kneel down and kowtow to Boss Zhou!" Tian Duoduo was furious. As the second-in-command of Jinmanlou, he had to be subservient to Lin Ping. He was already full of anger, but he didn't dare to vent his anger on Lin Ping. He could only find balance with Fei Wu.

"Second Master, you can't do this..." Fei Wu panicked and stammered.

"Can't you understand what I'm saying?" Tian Duoduo roared, kicking Fei Wu in the calf, causing him to kneel on the ground in pain.

Even if Fei Wu was foolish, he could see Tian Duoduo's determination; this was no joke.

As the experts approached step by step, Fei Wu could only obediently kneel before Zhou Yezheng and kowtow repeatedly, saying, "Grandpa, I was wrong, please forgive me!"

This sudden turn of events shocked everyone, especially Zhou Yezheng, who reacted the most and even kowtowed to Fei Wu in his own way.

Zhou Zhengye was completely dumbfounded. He didn't know Lin Ping's identity, nor did he dare to accept Fei Wu's sincere apology. He could only return the favor in the same way.

Lin Ping was displeased with this and said coldly, "For every kowtow Boss Zhou makes, you have to kowtow ten more!"

"Grandpa, please don't kneel! This could really kill someone!" Fei Wu pounded his forehead against the ground, pleading incessantly.

Zhou Xiyin finally showed some intelligence and hurriedly helped Zhou Yezheng up. She glared at Lin Ping and said, "Father, don't worry. This lecherous scoundrel is very capable and will definitely be able to handle this matter."

"Fine, still a lecher..." Lin Ping was speechless at this title, and he didn't want to refute it. After all, first impressions are deeply ingrained, and he really shouldn't have broken into a woman's boudoir late at night.

Zhou Yezheng straightened up and stared at Lin Ping with a strange look in his eyes. He was filled with indescribable emotions. He was almost certain that Lin Ping would rise to prominence one day, but his precious daughter might not be able to capture his heart.

Next came Fei Wu's solo performance, where he repeatedly kowtowed and apologized, calling out "Grandpa" in an increasingly loud voice.

His dignity had already been trampled underfoot, so he didn't care about anything else. Saving his life was the top priority. Maybe if he performed well, he could avoid the punishment of having his leg broken.

"That's enough, your voice is too grating," Lin Ping said unhappily, no longer wanting to see Fei Wu kneeling and begging for mercy.

Fei Wu breathed a sigh of relief. Although blood blisters had formed on his forehead, he had finally saved his life. As for how to avenge this, it would depend on the leader's decision.

"Boss Tian, ​​will you break this guy's leg, or should I do it myself?" Lin Ping said sarcastically. "The person whose leg I break will never be able to stand up again."

"You brat, don't push your luck!" Fei Wu shouted. If his legs hadn't gone numb, he would have stood up and fought Lin Ping to the death.

"I'll do it, I'll do it..." Tian Duoduo said weakly, knowing full well Lin Ping's methods.

If he were to carry out the execution himself, he would probably break not only the thigh but also the lumbar vertebrae. Tian Duoduo would never doubt Lin Ping's understanding of human anatomy.

"Second Master, you can't do this, you can't!" Fei Wu tried his best to refute, but in the end he was still pressed to the ground by the two experts, and watched helplessly as Tian Duoduo's water and fire stick slammed down on his thigh.

A crisp "snap" sound rang out, mixed with Fei Wu's heart-wrenching screams.

"You're really going to hit him?" Lin Ping shuddered; he felt sorry for Fei Wu.

"Not fighting? Would you agree to that?" Tian Duoduo smiled obsequiously at Lin Ping and continued, "Can we leave now?"
