Before letting Li Peng go, Lin Jianshen called Sun Jian to let him know.

After hearing about Lin Jianshen's recent feat, Sun Jian almost thought Lin Jianshen was making up a story and remained silent for a long time on the other end of the phone.

Lin Jianshen then sent him a recording.

In the recording, Li Peng sheepishly admitted that he had harbored wicked intentions.

Sun Jian burst into laughter: "Good! Well done, Biaozi! You really made me proud!"

But Sun Jian did not return to Donghai immediately.

At this time, Sun Hao was a guest at the home of a powerful figure in Beijing.

I won't be back for a while.

Even if Li Shiqi rushed back to Donghai, he could only confirm Li Peng's situation at most.

Then I got anxious and confused, like a headless fly.

Even if he wanted to complain to Sun Hao, he couldn't find him.

Did you say that over the phone?

How do you bring up a situation where a junior has broken the rules and you're not in the right?

Li Peng was incredibly stupid; he made such a terrible move.

They lost a lot of pieces and also suffered losses themselves.

It wasn't Sun Jian who lost face this time, but Li Shiqi.

Sun Jian was very happy; Li Shiqi should be too busy to cause trouble these days.

He can now calmly manage the power dynamics on the cruise ship.

Of course, Sun Jian also considered that if Li Shiqi became desperate, he might take action against Lin Jianshen.

Just to be on the safe side, he decided to arrange for one of the bartenders at Xinggui to bring Lin Jianshen and Xia Tingwan aboard the ship for a short stay.

Treat it as a vacation.

Besides gambling, these cruise ships do indeed possess high-end sightseeing attributes.

There are private boats available for sea excursions, excellent viewing decks for watching the sunrise and sunset, and professional equipment for sea fishing.

The ship offers a full range of entertainment facilities, gourmet food and fine wines.

After arranging things for Lin Jianshen, Sun Jian put down the phone, leaned back on the leather sofa in the luxury suite, and couldn't help but sigh again, "Lin Jianshen is really too amazing."

During the phone call just now, my subordinate reported the detailed results: Cai Long and Ge Shan may appear to be unharmed, but their backbones have been removed.

It takes several months to fully recover.

Yang Jinyan and Zhang Chen will have to stay in the hospital for at least three months.

As for Li Peng, he really couldn't get up, but only temporarily.

The doctor said that with a period of treatment, recovery is possible.

But there's a lot that can be done here, and someone as shrewd as Sun Jian certainly wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.

The story about breaking the egg was spread by him through the people at the Star Trail Bar.

He wanted others to believe that Li Peng had lost some kind of ability.

Once this rumor spreads, even if Li Peng posts photos, people will say they're photoshopped.

Li Shiqi is old, while many of his key subordinates are still young.

Faced with this situation, wouldn't some other thoughts arise?

If you recruit one person to start a group, a whole bunch of people might want to join.

That's enough to give Li Shiqi a good drink.

"Biaozi, oh Biaozi, you're truly my best brother!"

the other side.

On her first morning at Xu Yan's house, Xia Tingwan got out of bed, went to the kitchen to cook porridge, and went out to buy steamed buns.

Set breakfast on the table.

But Xu Yan stayed up watching dramas until the early hours of the morning and didn't get up to eat.

Xia Tingwan didn't disturb her, quietly finished her meal, and left Xu Yan's portion warm in the pot.

Then he went into the study, picked out a few books on vocal theory, and sat down at his desk to study them.

I kept looking at the food until noon, then took some ingredients from the refrigerator and cooked three dishes and a soup in the kitchen.

It has excellent color, aroma, and taste.

Xu Yan is still sleeping.

After Xia Tingwan finished cooking, she tidied up the kitchen and the house a bit.

Xu Yan finally slipped out of the bedroom in her slippers.

It was already past one o'clock in the afternoon.

Seeing the food on the table and the completely renovated environment, she sat down to eat lunch and exclaimed, "Wanwan, you are so virtuous!"

"Whoever marries you is truly blessed."

Xia Tingwan bit her lip, feeling depressed as she thought of Lin Jianshen, that blockhead.

She changed the subject and asked Xu Yan some questions about vocal music.

Although Xu Yan has a carefree personality, she is indeed very knowledgeable in her profession.

Not only did they answer Xia Tingwan's questions, they also shared some extra tips.

After finishing her meal, Xu Yan changed her clothes, picked up her bag containing the sheet music, and went out.

She had mentioned before that she would give vocal lessons every afternoon.

Before leaving, Xu Yan said she wouldn't be back for dinner that night and told Xia Tingwan not to wait for her.

Xia Tingwan finished cleaning up the dishes and stood in front of the French windows.

The view here is excellent.

The afternoon sun was also nice, and the visibility was very high, allowing you to overlook far into the city.

The crisscrossing streets are like the city's arteries, with traffic flowing through them like blood.

I wonder where Lin Jianshen is now?

Are you injured?

Is everything going smoothly?

Xia Tingwan sighed and paced back and forth in front of the French windows, deep in thought.

Half an hour later, she made a phone call to someone, saying she had something to discuss and arranged a meeting place.

About half an hour later.

A corner seat by the window in a Starbucks on the first floor of a shopping mall in the city center.

Xia Tingwan, wearing a white cotton T-shirt and light blue jeans, with her long hair flowing smoothly over her shoulders, sat down in the chair.

Opposite her was a girl wearing a Chanel dress, with exquisite makeup, but with a hint of irritation in her eyes.

"Hello, Miss Sun, I'm Lin Jianshen's girlfriend," Xia Tingwan said first, greeting him.

Sun Yu looked at her coldly, her eyes filled with scrutiny and hostility.

She slightly raised her chin, trying to appear more imposing: "You've got guts."

"Aren't we rivals in love?"

"You just asked me out alone like this? Aren't you afraid I'll teach you a lesson right here?"

Xia Tingwan smiled and said, "Your friends all say that although you can be willful at times, you're not a bad person, you have principles, and you're reasonable. So I don't think my situation is that bad."

Sun Yu is only eighteen years old, and his mind is not very mature.

Hearing someone praise her like that made her feel quite pleased.

But she didn't want to show it, so she turned her head slightly away: "Praising me won't work. I'm not a reasonable person."

"I'm not flattering you," Xia Tingwan said. "There are two basic methods of reasoning in mathematics: induction and deduction."

"Although I don't know you, the conclusions drawn from a fairly large sample should have some reference value."

"This is a judgment based on facts, not flattery."

Sun Yu chuckled: "I didn't realize you were such a top student. You speak so eloquently."

Xia Tingwan smiled and did not deny it: "If I wanted to, getting into Tsinghua or Peking University wouldn't be too difficult for me."

"In our senior year of high school, the top student in our class had the surname Zhao."

"But what he doesn't know is that I can only make him number one if I want him to be number one. If I don't want him to be number one, he can't be number one."

Her tone was frank, without any hint of boasting, as if she were simply stating a fact.

Damn, Versailles.

This made Sun Yu even more unhappy.

Xia Tingwan added, "This is one of the busiest commercial districts in the city center."

"Even if you're incredibly daring, you wouldn't do something like this in a crowded place."

"Did you ask me out just to show off your superiority? To flaunt how smart you are?" Sun Yu snorted and pushed a cup of coffee towards him.

Xia Tingwan didn't drink, but smiled and said, "Miss Sun, don't worry. Even when you had people following me and smashing my house to pieces, I wasn't worried."

"Really, I just wanted to talk to you."

Sun Yu frowned when this matter was mentioned.

Li Peng went far beyond what she had tacitly approved, and had seriously crossed the line.

Sun Hao will definitely criticize her when he finds out.

Lin Jianshen also hates himself.

She was used by Li Peng.

Within Sun Hao's group, this seemed to be her only remaining value.

She suddenly felt a wave of sadness.

Then she realized that when Li Peng was held accountable, she would have to take the blame for this matter as well.

Firstly, since this whole thing started because of her, she should take responsibility.

Secondly, if she doesn't take responsibility, Li Peng won't help her anymore.

She'll lose even this little bit of usefulness and become nothing more than a decorative vase.

Amid her grief, she also felt a surge of pain.

But she must never show vulnerability in front of her rival.

Sun Yu took a big gulp of her ice-cold Frappuccino and coldly threw out what she thought was her "trump card".

"I've already heard. You're his sister."

"Brother and sister getting involved together, huh? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if word gets out?"
