wife, so you should fulfill the duties of a wife!""Well, that's true. If the old man wants me to cook, I can do it. But—" her voice trailed off, and with an unusually calm expression and intense gaze,...Old Mrs. He always believed that younger generations should be restrained by their elders. As Rong Sanbo held a high position and was constantly busy, it would be impossible for him to accept any requests from Old Mrs. He, no matter how much she relied on her age. But Rong Feiwu was different. As a businessman who was now semi-retired, he would be easier to approach. Moreover, judging from his attitude last time, there seemed to be room for negotiation!

A phone call was made from He's family to Rong's family!

Old Mrs. He is bedridden!

Her secret weapon is feigning illness! She needs to use public opinion to make everyone stand on her side and put pressure on Rong Ling.

He Kuan, after Madam He's "fainting," naturally became the head of the He family. He called Rong Fei Wu and told him about how Old Madam was fainted by Rong Ling, begging Rong Fei Wu to discipline Rong Ling well and not push things too far. Otherwise, if the two families fought, they would both suffer losses.

“Our family's goodwill towards yours has always remained unchanged. We were even thinking of forging a closer bond by having He Ya from our family marry Rong Ling from yours. But now――, well, I don't even know what these young people are thinking nowadays! Rong brother, we really don't want to make a big fuss out of this. To be honest, what Rong Ling did is considered his personal affair and it also harms your Rong family!”

Rong Fei Wu's eyes flashed, and he readily agreed to the matter.

He Kuan has implied enough. He is only targeting Rong Ling, not the Rong family as a whole. That means he doesn't mind aligning with the Rong family to jointly deal with Rong Ling; nor does he particularly care who takes over after Rong Ling falls from power.

Finally — the opportunity has arrived!

Having indulged in the relationship between Rong Ling and Lin Meng, Rong Fei had anticipated this day would come. He immediately called Rong Qikeng.

"For a while, just stay put. Your opportunity is here!"

Then, Rong Qikeng roughly told him about his plan. Rong Qikeng beamed with delight and readily agreed to it.

After hanging up the phone, Rong Feiwu called Rong Ling again.

"Look what you've done! You even made Old Mrs. He ill with anger!" Rong Feiwu rebuked as soon as he opened his mouth.

Rong Ling looked at the little guy who was arranging dominoes on the floor with his butt up in the air, and Lin Meng helping him. A sneer curled up the corner of his mouth. His father seemed to always be doing his best to help outsiders!

"My business, you just don't meddle. I know what I'm doing!"

Lin Meng heard Rong Ling's cold voice and perked up her ears, turning her head to look at him with some worry. Rong Ling just waved his hand, signaling for her not to mind.

On the phone, Rong Feiwu was angered by Rong Ling's attitude. Rong Ling's behavior was too arrogant, it wasn't how a son should treat his father.

"Rong Ling, although you are now in this position, remember that public resources are not yours to use as you please. You have a personal grudge against Old Mrs. He, fine. You can deal with it using your own abilities, but I forbid you from using family power or harming the family's interests. The Rong and He families are still related by marriage!"

At the beginning, young members of the Rong family and He family got married. At that time, many celebrities were invited. The relationship between the Rong and He families is well known throughout Kyoto!

Rong Ling found it amusing. What public things couldn't be taken for oneself, what family power wasn't allowed to be used His father was becoming more and more confused as he aged. If one wasn't allowed to do this, and that wasn't permitted, then what use was the head of the Rong family! If in the end, he only became a puppet, and even became a tool that worked tirelessly for the family, he wouldn't gain anything at all! Then why would everyone struggle so hard to climb to this position!

To want this position, it's nothing more than to sit at the highest point and then ignore, even directly eliminate, some ridiculous and disgusting existences!

Public tools should not be used for private purposes!

Ridiculous!

When he was in power, his father certainly didn't hesitate to abuse his status and act arrogantly.

Give him some face, call him father, and he really acts like a retired emperor! Even if he were an emperor, you're not in charge, so what right do you have to make a fuss there!

"This matter, I have my own judgment and will definitely not harm the family. I think that Old Mrs. He is very healthy, how could she fall ill so easily Dad, you don't need to worry about this!"

"Hmph, you've grown bold and started ignoring the elders now, haven't you!"

Rong Ling sneered, too lazy to reply.

So, you're not going to give up

Rong Ling countered, "Why stop!"

Rong Fei's eyes flashed, and a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth. He actually wanted this result. The angrier Rong Ling was, the better. The more he wanted to kill the He family, the better, so that Rong Ling would make more mistakes, and so that he could also pull in more forces for his eldest son!

"Rong Ling, don't get too arrogant!"

Rong Ling let out a cold snort.

Rong Fei Wu felt mocked by the laughter and his face turned red with anger. He snorted coldly, then hung up the phone!

Actually, he didn't dislike Rong Ling. He had to admit, Rong Ling was very talented. It's just a pity that he already had his chosen successor. Moreover, Rong Ling's seemingly disdainful attitude always made it impossible for him to genuinely accept him. He even treated Rong San better than he treated his own father!

That's Rong San's person!

And he, has his own people!

He believed that the other person would never lose to Rong Ling in the future!

*

Rong Ling curled her lips and casually tossed her phone aside. Lin Meng, watching from the side, felt a little worried. She carefully climbed up from the floor and walked towards Rong Ling. The little boy was still engrossed in arranging his building blocks. This activity not only trains one's mental fortitude and endurance, but also, being just a child, once he gets absorbed, it's hard to distract him.

"Are you alright" Lin Meng frowned and lowered her voice, asking him.

He merely uttered two words in a nonchalant tone. "It's fine!"

But she clearly heard things like "Mrs. He," "family brought harm," and "stop." This doesn't seem like something that can be brushed aside with just the words "nothing happened."

She sat down beside him, and she took his hand in her own two soft, white hands.

"Rong Ling—" she softly called out, licking her lips. Her pretty eyelashes drooped down, casting a faint shadow under her eyes, making them appear somewhat dim. "Isn't it, I...brought you trouble!"

She is actually sensitive and intelligent!

And she also knew, this man of hers, no matter how powerful, was just one person, just an individual. Sometimes, he probably couldn't stand up to so many people and things! Especially, it seemed like the person on the other end of the conversation was Rong Ling's father!

Feng Ling looked at her drooping head, looking uneasy and worried. His heart warmed, and he smiled.

"Idiot, what are you thinking!"

As always, his tone calmed her anxieties. She looked up at him, still frowning, her worry unconcealed. "I... I'm just afraid of causing you trouble! I... I'm actually quite useless!"

You don't have the ability to protect yourself and Youyou, or deal with those who have bad intentions towards her!

She felt a little down.

“Fool, you little fool!” Rong Ling muttered lowly as he pulled her into his arms, punishingly pinching her cheek. “With me here, what use are you You’re too useful, aren’t I useless then! You’re doing great now, just enough to let me be useful! If you get any better, I might not need you anymore!”

She was amused and her face softened, with a touch of reproach she said, "That's a twisted argument!"

Then she tilted her head, wrapped her arms around his, and snuggled close to him. She widened her eyes and glared at him fiercely, letting out a low growl. "Don't leave me!"

He looked at her with that feigned fierce yet adorable expression, a slight lift of his eyebrow revealing a hint of seductive charm. He teased playfully, "So fierce, like a she-tiger!"

She blushed, a little embarrassed, but she still arrogantly retorted, "Whatever, I'm a tigress, and you're not allowed to leave me!"

Speaking, she tightened her grip on his arm. Her bright eyes looked at him, but deep down, she was a little unsure, a little afraid, afraid that he would really say something like rejection. Unconsciously, because of the nervousness, she actually brought his arm closer to her chest. His arm ended up nestled between the two mounds of softness on her chest.

That soft touch warmed Rong Ling's heart. Memories flooded back, recalling the beauty revealed after her clothes were taken off.

His eyes narrowed, and he reached out, gently stroking the hair by her ear. She was a little sensitive, bearing it with clenched teeth, not moving back. He smiled slightly, revealing a hint of a grin.

"I won't let go of you!" He leaned in deliberately, his lips less than half an inch from hers. As he spoke, the man's breath filled her mouth and splashed onto her face.

She backed away, but the man's large hand had already reached out and encircled her slender waist. With a deft touch, he exerted just enough pressure, and she softly collapsed against him. This made the arm pressing against her chest all the more noticeable!

"Ah—"

She gasped, realizing it. Then, she hastily let go. But it was too late; the man remembered what he was supposed to do.

"Baby, how could I possibly not want you" He chuckled softly, his laughter laced with an indescribable wickedness. "I want you right now!"

Then, grabbing her little hand, he brought it to between his legs!

She blushed instantly, embarrassed and trying to pull her hand back, but the man's grip was strong. He held her tight. She knew she shouldn't touch him, but still, she accidentally brushed against the thing that made her heart race!

"Little one, are you impatient"

When he gets emotional, this man becomes extremely vicious, as if some repressed personality within him suddenly emerges.

"What...what nonsense!" she stammered. "Let...let me go!"

"Isn't it a threat that I shouldn't want you Be good, hehehe..."

He smiled seductively, his lips, slightly cold and thin, brushed lightly across her cheek, leaving her with a strange sensation, both itchy and embarrassing. Her heart fluttered a little!

"You... you deliberately misinterpret me!" She clearly didn't mean that, this man was so despicable. "You're too bad!"

She hummed and hawed for ages before spitting out such an impolite remark. And her little face, she let this man kiss all over it. That faint kiss, like dancing petals, floated down, brushing against her cheek and drifting away.

He chuckled softly, holding her close, or rather, pinning her down so she couldn't move much. She could only lie soft and pliant in his arms, offering herself willingly and submissively.

"Getting impatient, huh I was actually supposed to give it to you this afternoon!"

Her whole body suddenly felt like it was on fire!

This man is going to die, how can he say such things! What happened this afternoon was clearly a misunderstanding, why does he remember it so clearly

With a blush on her face, her eyes welled up slightly as she looked at him pitifully. She desperately wanted to impulsively tell this man the truth and then laugh heartily at his self-importance and delusions of grandeur. But—but what could she do She just couldn't bear it!

"Let me go! Yoyo will see!" An idea struck her. She thought of her son, who was playing not far away.

Rong Ling glanced at the little boy from the corner of her eye. Fortunately, he was completely focused, his little butt sticking up as he worked diligently to build his castle tunnel, oblivious to what was happening here.

"Follow me!"

He rose and pulled her up, speaking softly.

She struggled, always feeling that he wasn't sincere. "No!"

He teased her again, pulling her slender waist close, pressing her completely against him. He lowered his head and murmured ambiguously by her small ear, "Are you angry because I didn't want you this afternoon! Be good, don't be angry, just wait a little longer, I'm sorry. I'll take you right now, treat you well!"

"Róng Líng—" She finally let out a shout, utterly ashamed!

Who has the nerve like this man!

OMG, someone died!

The little boy was startled, he lifted his head and turned to look over. Seeing the adults tightly embraced, he was a little confused.

"Mommy! Godfather!"

Lin Meng immediately cried out, "Let go, let go quickly!"

Rong Ling, however, still "shamelessly" hugged her, and shouted to the little boy, "Youyou, do your best, godfather is waiting to see your masterpiece. Don't disappoint godfather. Your mommy is a bit tired, godfather will take her upstairs for a while, she'll be down in a while."

It's time for bed!

The little boy nodded very innocently and kindly said, "Mommy, you go to sleep. Yoyo is done now, I'll call you when I'm finished, hihi. Later, Yoyo wants to play mahjong with Mommy!"

Lin Meng's heart sank, feeling that the man beside her was too cunning. As he hugged her and walked upstairs, she was truly unwilling. She struggled slightly, half-resisting and half-submitting, until they finally reached the second floor. With all her strength, she tugged him and pleaded softly.

"Rong Ling, no more!"

"Why not!" The man instead pressed her against the wall, beginning to kiss her. This time it wasn't as light as before, but intense, with a faint scent of alcohol that made her head spin from the kiss.

“I… I have to go back later.”

It's too late, she should go back. If...if it were like that, this man wouldn't give up easily, and she would probably be unable to get out of bed. Besides, even if she did, taking a bath would be a real chore. Going back would be so embarrassing!

He wasn't pleased with her excuse for refusal. In fact, he secretly wished she would never go back and would just stay here with him forever!

"Don't go back!" he murmured, leaning in for a kiss. His hot tongue repeatedly tried to breach her pearly teeth, wanting to invade her sweet little mouth.

She was a little flustered, resisting in a panic, forcing herself not to give in. Her brain started racing, and then, when he'd almost had his fill, she flicked her face away, dodging his hot lips. She panted, regaining her composure, and begged again. "Stop, Yoyo will be up soon!"

"Not that fast!"

He mumbled and began kissing her elegant neck, his big hand rubbing against her delicate body. Her touch sent shivers down her spine. With a small moan that surprised her, she quickly clamped her mouth shut.

He gazed at her, finding her utterly adorable. He leaned in for another kiss, his large hand suggestively stroking her waist and her plump buttocks, laced with a hint of lust.

"Really not!" she stammered in the midst of his heated kiss. "Youyou is moving fast, he'll be up soon, if he sees this, it won't be good!"

"What are you afraid of!" he growled, his teeth sinking into her collarbone. His large hand pressed against her rounded hips, pushing her towards his abdomen.

Her heart beat a little faster, knowing that if she didn't say something soon, it would be too late to stop it. She had thought about it, but—it was just a little embarrassing to say out loud. Now, it seemed like there was no choice but to speak.

Biting her lip, her face instantly flushed, as if it were being boiled and turned crimson with anger.

"Rong Ling, next time, next time okay!"

The man ignored her, his hot lips beginning to move towards her chest. Her sweater was pulled down from one shoulder by him.

"You...you're too fast, there isn't enough time!"

He stopped, his lips only resting lightly on her soft skin.

She twisted her body, feeling a burning sensation throughout. "Rourou will be here soon, you...you can't end it so quickly, so...so how about next time! Next time, you can do whatever you want!"

He raised his head and narrowed his eyes.

She blushed, leaned in, and took the initiative to kiss him on the lips. "Next time, okay"

He raised an eyebrow, however, catching the key point and asked with a veiled meaning, "Are you praising me!"

How could she possibly answer such a question! She bit her lip and shyly turned away. But he reached out, grabbed her chin, and forcefully turned her back to face him, questioning her with his eyes.

"Little one, are you praising me" He stared at her, his gaze intense and dangerous.

She was defeated by him, and shyly uttered a soft "um" before nodding lightly.

He shrugged slightly, his face suddenly changing, a low chuckle escaping his lips. In an instant, he seemed to glow with an indescribable brilliance. His sharp eyebrows softened, a faint smile etched around his keen eyes, and his obsidian gaze sparkled like stars, radiating a captivating intensity. His beautifully shaped lips curled upwards slightly, releasing a hint of wicked male charm. Even the lines on his face appeared less angular, softer somehow!

"Good girl…"

Smiling softly, he kissed her and then gently called her name.

"Little one... little one..."

She felt that he seemed especially happy!

Men's minds, they are so strange!

But to say he persisted for a while and that's all the joy It seems like what's said online, most of it is really true!

She thought, somehow, and just started laughing.

"Come on, let's go down and play with Youyou!"

She pulled him by the hand downstairs.

This time, he was exceptionally docile, his lips curled up into a smile as he followed.

She suddenly felt that this man, sometimes, was like a child, and seemed quite easy to coax!

Two people went and came back, the little guy thought it was strange. "Hey, Mommy, aren't you going to sleep!"

"Mommy feels more energetic when she moves around, hehe, I'd rather play with Youyou!"

"Wow!" exclaimed the little boy, overjoyed.

Children most like to have company, and this companion is still their beloved daddy and mommy!

Ronger stood there for a while, correcting the young boy's shortcomings, then strode out and made several phone calls.

Tonight, it was actually a busy night. He had many things to do. Especially, when he sensed that his father seemed intent on siding with Old Mrs. He, he was even busier!

This way, he would have let go of Lin Meng so easily!

Otherwise, this man is a carnivore and he won't let go of the meat in his sights no matter how she begs for mercy!

In the following days, the He family's business suffered a heavy blow!

Slandering their company isn't a new tactic, but it's effective, so Rong Ling still used it. And the He family aren't slackers either; they brought in a specialist from overseas to start battling Chen Zhi head-on. Regardless of the outcome, the He family's internet use will be restricted during this battle, which will inevitably delay their business operations again.

As the head of the household, Rong Ling wouldn't let resources go to waste. Rong Fei Wu warned him not to be too arrogant, but he wanted to act recklessly anyway, so that those old folks in the clan wouldn't think he was easy to bully! Using his power, he immediately cut off most of the cooperation with the He family! The Rong family had always been a major client of the He family. This sudden halt in cooperation would cause huge losses for the He family.

Hejia protested that after He LaoTai was "awakened," she directly called Rong Fei Wu, and contacted several other old folks. Rong Fei Wu questioned them, and the other old folks also had some complaints, but Rong Li remained as stubborn as ever!

What is he afraid of!

He is so ruthless, none of them can pull him down from this position!

He will show those people that he can be even crazier!

He family's company, partially, received investigation from the fire department, accusing them of inadequate fire safety measures and requiring immediate rectification. Upon the deadline, if the rectification does not reach a satisfactory level, the fire department will forcibly intervene and order them to suspend business.

Following this, He's chemical factory was exposed for releasing pollutants into the water source, polluting the environment and causing residents in the surrounding area to suffer from various illnesses. This news story made it onto national newspapers and several prominent websites, attracting widespread attention. Local residents jointly filed a lawsuit demanding that the factory be shut down and that they be compensated for their health losses!

There are other companies that have similar issues as well.

He Hua-shen, the second son of Old Mrs. He, held a high position as the deputy governor of a province. He had to intervene in this type of incident. He made a phone call to hint at the local authorities to alter the final investigation report, making it a "passable" report that could fly under the radar, allowing the matter to be swept under the rug. As for those troublemakers, they should be given a good lesson and told to keep quiet!

This tactic is a common one among government officials, and it's highly effective most of the time. Before, He Huasheng used this tactic, and those below him naturally nodded and bowed to get things done for him promptly. But this time when he made the call, the people on the receiving end while smiling in response, showed a hint of firmness in their attitude.

"Vice Governor He, you see, given this situation, it's not really up to us to decide. The higher-ups have instructed us to handle this impartially and conduct a thorough investigation. That's what we will naturally do..."

Then it chuckled twice, but said nothing more.

We all operate in the bureaucracy. Some things just don't need to be said so plainly.

"It's rare for the provincial governor to be treated like this by someone below him. He felt a surge of anger and his voice turned cold as he adopted an official tone, shouting. "Who are you people talking about I can speak with him!"

"Hee hee, Vice Governor He, what you said... hee hee, those big shots above are beyond my reach! When they say "those on top," it means *they* are the ones on top. Actually, I really want to help you out, Vice Governor He, but you see, this is a direct order from above. All I can do is follow orders!"

Everyone says he's a high-ranking official, and he dares to reject Deputy Provincial Governor He like this, naturally because the person above him is more powerful than Deputy Provincial Governor He!

That person had already made their point clear. He Hua deeply was now enraged, but he couldn't afford to lose his composure at this moment. If he did, those below him would surely laugh at him, mocking how he had climbed to the position of deputy provincial governor yet couldn't even see through such simple matters.

After a few more empty platitudes, He Huasheng hung up the phone. In his reply to the elderly woman's call, he could only say that he was temporarily powerless and would try harder to find someone! Although he was the deputy governor of a province, he was usually surrounded by people who treated him with deference and respect on a daily basis. But there were people outside of him, and there were heavens beyond the sky. There were plenty of people in China who could overpower him, the deputy governor!

When it comes to power, how could their family possibly compare to Rong Ling!

Old Mrs. He had a furrowed brow and looked as if she had aged several years in an instant.

Old Mrs. He frowned, as if she had aged several years overnight. Although she had been feigning illness in bed these days, she hadn't actually been idle. Many people came to visit her, and she took the opportunity to express her dissatisfaction with Rong Ling to them, begging for their help. Those wealthy aristocrats were indeed willing to strike at Rong Ling, after all, a powerful competitor less would mean more benefits for them in the future. But the Rong family was not someone they could easily offend. What if, in the end, they failed to bring down Rong Ling and instead suffered a counterattack from the Rong family That would be a huge loss!

In fact, the most crucial point here is that Rong Ling was backed by the entire Rong family, a massive clan. Its young members held important positions and were dispersed throughout the country, mostly elites. No one dared to openly offend them. Therefore, regarding Madam He's request, those people neither agreed nor explicitly refused. Their attitude was one of watchful waiting, each individual observing the situation.

The old woman was so anxious she could barely breathe. She knew about the relationship between Rong Ling and the Rong family; it was a weakness they could exploit, but she couldn't find a way to break through. She could only watch helplessly as her own business went from bad to worse. Many large companies had requested to no longer renew their contracts with the He family, and even some directly proposed termination despite the risk of compensation. This left the He family walking on eggshells!

Besides, the He family's companies domestically were not very clean. Previously, they had been acting arrogant and taking advantage of their connections to make a lot of money in various places without considering the consequences. Now that Rong Ling was determined to target them, all the shortcomings of those companies were exposed one by one. In just a few days, the He family's industries were constantly reported in newspapers, and even almost made it onto national television. Fortunately, some people within the He family were able to stop the reports at the last minute.

"What shall I do What shall I do!" Old Mrs. He was absolutely furious with Rong Ling!

By now, not only Old Madam He and the He family, but also other prominent families and nobles have discovered that Rong Ling is not someone to be trifled with. This man, previously dubbed "the Tyrant" by the industry, was actually quite mild-mannered. In reality, he should be called "a ferocious demon." Over the past four years, his methods have gradually become more conciliatory, causing people to almost forget how ruthless and merciless he had been in the past! Those companies that had been forcibly acquired or driven into bankruptcy, as well as bidding events where his participation forced them to choose discretion over victory, have brought back the fear of Rong Ling in their hearts.

This man, for some reason these past few years, had sheathed his claws and retreated into hiding. Now, he has revealed his sharp fangs once more, and wielded the scythe of death!

The He family has been targeted!

Perhaps, in the not-so-distant future, the He family will no longer exist in Kyoto. Who would be foolish enough to step forward and block Rong Ling's menacing sword at this moment!

The He family mobilized en masse, seeking help everywhere. Even a woman from the Rong family who had already married into the He family returned to her natal home and pleaded with the elders of her clan. The elders went to Rong Ling, but he just sat aloofly on his high seat, silent and expressionless, staring down at them with cold eyes. This intimidated the old men so much that they left shamefaced and humiliated.

They found that the old ways were no longer effective, these young people had become uncontrollable. This kid was more capable than his father, when his father was in power, the elders of the clan still had a say. But now this kid was so unrestrained that he was beyond control. And what's worse, most of the young people in the clan were still following him!

His prestige is basically the highest among all the families throughout history!

The old man was shocked, he didn't know how he had managed to gather such a loyal group of followers. If things hadn't gone wrong with the He family, the old men would have been complacent and arrogant, enjoying their days in luxury while pointing fingers at others and releasing their domineering aura. But when things went south, they suddenly realized that the situation was out of control. If this continued for a few more years, wouldn't the Rong family become Rong Ling's word

The elders were getting anxious. They, who once held positions of power in the Rong family, had a more intense desire for control over power than anyone else. They couldn't bear to give up power. They couldn't stand the thought of younger generations not obeying them or taking them seriously. They couldn't bear to lose the honor they had fought so hard for. Even in retirement, they still needed to be respected, still needed "a few soldiers" under their command, and still needed their words to be valued by the head of the family!

Kero Ling finally took action, ruthlessly shattering their beautiful dreams!

They were a bit ruffled, and upon reacting, they couldn't help but feel unsettled. The old folks couldn't resist gathering together, whispering amongst themselves. As they talked, hey, they realized that everyone else had the same thoughts!

A pair of old eyes lit up, and the seasoned foxes, who were once cunning and sharp-witted, stared at each other with understanding. Their unspoken agreement was clear: find a way to put pressure on Rong Ling!

They have to regain their former glory, there's no way they can fall too far behind their predecessors who retired last year!

Rong Fei Wu, who had been patiently lurking on one side, felt the time was right and jumped out. With just an unassuming hint, the elders gathered around him. In private, behind closed doors, the old foxes began whispering amongst themselves again.

Soon, the elders of the clan gathered together and put pressure on Rong Ling to inspect the overseas industries quickly, lest some short-sighted people damage the foundations of their overseas business.

Rong Ling looked at the faces lined with wrinkles, a cold smile playing on his lips. It was an unsettling smile, somehow both strange and frightening. The old men knew Rong Ling was intelligent; he must have understood their intentions – to deliberately send him abroad. They were guilty, and nine out of ten avoided his gaze.

"Alright, it's also time to audit the companies in each region!"

Rong Ling responded, the corner of her mouth still curving with a cold smile.

Such a quick reply, it spared the elders from having to go through so much trouble with words. The elders let out a collective sigh of relief. Just agree, just agree! Once he leaves the country, things here will be easier to handle. Even if Rong Ling is in charge, but he's not in court, who can he possibly control!

Weren't many dynasties throughout history overthrown in this way!or a moment, then met Rong Ling's gaze, which was like a scraping knife. He gritted his teeth and continued with some difficulty, "So, please discuss it with the old man first before making a decision...
