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

The once calm scene descended into chaos again, a situation that affected everyone's interests and was far more important than simply watching the spectacle.

Just as everyone was about to drown Diao Man with their phlegm, Lin Ping waved his hand and said loudly, "Everyone, please calm down. Maybe Boss Diao is just joking with me."

Strangely enough, the chaotic scene was brought to a halt by Lin Ping's calm and unassuming voice.

There's nothing we can do; they're just rich.

The hundred or eighty taels of silver they had were insignificant. Even if Jin Manlou had no silver in its treasury, Lin Ping did.

Therefore, his words were naturally more effective than deceitful words.

Diao Man was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, as if death had already arrived.

These people won't kill him, but they will cripple him, ruin his reputation, and might even cause a stampede that kills him.

The law does not punish the masses; even if they trample him to death, these people will not go to jail.

"Young Master Lin, we believe you, but you also need to give us an explanation." One of them said indignantly, already regarding Lin Ping as a savior.

"Boss Diao, what do you think?" Lin Ping asked sarcastically.

What does he think? Does he even have the right to think?

"Grandpa, you're in charge. Your grandson will obey your every word." Diao Man kowtowed repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, large bloodstains already appearing on his forehead.

To quell Lin Ping's anger, he had to discard his dignity. After all, dignity can't be eaten; he could naturally regain it when he made a comeback.

He was even worshipped by the public, and who would dare to say about his shameful deeds back then?

“Boss Tian, ​​we’re acquainted, you know my style,” Lin Ping said, turning to Tian Duoduo.

He was the second-in-command of Jinmanlou, and by all accounts he should have felt terrified, or even knelt on the ground with Diaoman. But he was not flustered at all, and even wanted to laugh.

"Of course I understand." Tian Duoduo nodded, and with a wooden stick that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere in her hand, she angrily walked towards Diao Man.

"Tian Duoduo, what are you going to do?" Diao Man asked in fear, clearly sensing the murderous intent in Tian Duoduo's eyes.

"Young Master Lin likes to break people's thighs when he comes in. You should be glad. If this had happened a few months ago, he might have broken a third leg," Tian Duoduo explained sarcastically, the thick wooden stick already raised above his head.

Upon hearing this, Diao Man felt a chill run down his spine. He was filled with regret, never expecting Lin Ping to be so ruthless.

"A broken leg is better than a broken manhood." Diao Man kept reassuring himself, his body already lying on the ground, waiting quietly for the wooden stick to fall.

Click!

A crisp sound rang out, clearly indicating that a bone had broken.

Tian Duoduo swung the wooden stick with unprecedented strength. In preparation for this day, he even secretly trained his body to strive for a successful strike.

As it turned out, his exercise was effective. Diao Man's two thighs were dislocated and limply hanging on the ground, causing him to break out in a cold sweat from the pain. Even though he found the best bone setter, he would have to spend the rest of his life in bed.

"This is an iron rod!" Diao Man screamed, spitting out blood and foam.

The water-fire stick was coated with black and red dye, making its material unrecognizable, but the moment it struck the leg, Diao Man learned the truth.

He planned this all along; he deliberately tried to kill himself.

"Tian Duoduo, you actually betrayed me!" Diao Man lay on the ground like a dead dog, barely managing to prop his head up with the strength of his arms, and said through gritted teeth.

"Harm you? It's not that simple." Tian Duoduo smiled coldly. "Did you know that the idea of ​​bribing the wealthy businessman was also Lin Gongzi's idea? The moment you offended Lin Gongzi, this ending was destined!"

"This was all a scheme you devised!" Diao Man's blood surged, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood, nearly fainting.

“I told you long ago that Young Master Lin is an outstanding person, and I should help him as much as possible, but you wouldn’t listen. You only wanted to harm Young Master Lin, so I can only help you clean up this mess.” Tian Duoduo whispered in his ear, “Don’t worry, Jinmanlou will not fall.”

"Wishful thinking! As long as I live, you can forget about getting your hands on Jin Manlou!" Diao Man spat out several mouthfuls of blood.

He considered himself a ruthless person, but he never expected that Lin Ping and Tian Duoduo would be even more ruthless. Working together from the inside and outside, they caught him completely off guard.

"Wishful thinking?" Lin Ping smiled faintly and beckoned to the five shopkeepers.

The five men were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to oppose Lin Ping.

"Why is this happening to you all? I, Lin Ping, do not eat people. Please rise." Lin Ping said with a smile.

This isn't cannibalism? It's practically skinning people alive!

"What are your orders, Young Master Lin?" the five asked tremblingly, fearing that Lin Ping would break their third leg.

"I wouldn't presume to give orders, but there's something I'd like to ask for your opinions on. What do you all think about Mr. Tian becoming the head of Jinmanlou?" Lin Ping said calmly.

Now that things have come to this, they could still guess Lin Ping and Tian Duoduo's conspiracy, and they all wore bitter expressions.

Even though concealing the truth is a crime, she was wholeheartedly thinking of Jin Manlou's best interests. Tian Duoduo and Lin Ping colluded from the inside and outside, almost bringing Jin Manlou down.

From this perspective, they really don't want Tian Duoduo to sit in the top position.

However, this was an inevitable trend, and they dared not offend Lin Ping.

"Please don't rush to answer, let me finish speaking." Lin Ping explained slowly, "If Boss Tian can become the head of Jinmanlou, I will not take the 200,000 taels of silver first, and the money lost by the gambling den will also be returned in full... half."

The five men's eyes darted around; to be honest, they had no right to refuse.

If they don't support Tian Duoduo, Jinmanlou might have to close down immediately.

Moreover, Lin Ping would minimize their losses and even prevent them from being punished.

When it comes to matters concerning their own interests, they cannot back down. They surrounded Diao Man and said, "Boss, please step down. Otherwise, Jin Man Lou will go bankrupt."

"Wishful thinking! As long as I, Diao Man, am alive, I will not give up my position to that scoundrel Tian Duoduo!" Diao Man roared hysterically.

He's already in this state, and he's not afraid of things getting worse. Even if he's completely disgraced, he won't let Lin Ping and Tian Duoduo succeed.

"Boss, have you forgotten your place? You're not the owner of Jinmanlou, just the head of the Wu Kingdom branch hired by headquarters. If headquarters investigates, are you sure you can afford to be punished?" one of them said coldly.

Diao Man broke out in a cold sweat again; how could he not know how terrifying the headquarters was?

If he really brings down Jin Manlou, he will definitely be eliminated, and even his family will not escape death.

Diao Man's face turned ashen; he was truly terrified.

He would fight for even the slightest chance to make a comeback, but Lin Ping wouldn't give him that chance. If he didn't hand over the top position, Lin Ping would force Jin Manlou to close down immediately.

"I'll hand it over, I'll hand it over..." Diao Man said weakly.

At this moment, he realized how terrifying Lin Ping was. The fact that he wasn't killed outright was already the greatest favor. How could he dare to say no?
