Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

at this time,

Inside the speeding Maybach,

Lin Ruoxi's mocking voice came through Xiao Zhan's phone: "Xiao Zhan, I'm curious, what are you using to threaten me, and what leverage do you have over me?"

Xiao Zhan smiled and said, "Hehe! Lin Ruoxi, I'll send it to you in a bit. If you can still laugh at me like this after seeing it, then you're something else."

"I guarantee you'll be trending on the front page."

"Thump!"

Lin Ruoxi's heart sank when she heard Xiao Zhan speak like that, and an ominous premonition suddenly rose from the bottom of her heart.

After thinking for a moment, she softened her tone and said, "Brother Zhan, we're engaged, we're husband and wife in name only, please don't treat me like this, okay?"

Xiao Zhan said coldly, "There's a saying that those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. Since our values ​​are incompatible, there's no need for us to travel together. Last night's engagement was merely a temporary measure for the Xiao and Lin families."

"Do you have anything else to say? If not, just hang up. Come back and question me after you've cleaned up your mess."

Seeing that Xiao Zhan was about to hang up, Lin Ruoxi quickly asked, "Wait a minute, my dad wants you to come over for dinner tonight. A lot of Lin family relatives will be there. Oh, and Mom will be coming too."

Xiao Zhan frowned and asked, "My mother?"

Lin Ruoxi: "Yes, it seems from what my dad said that both sets of parents are discussing our marriage."

Xiao Zhan sneered, "Marriage is absolutely impossible. Let's find a suitable time to call it off."

"This is better for both of us!"

*Smack!*

Xiao Zhan hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

Then I opened the photo album, found a short video of Lin Ruoxi having an affair with someone else in bed, and sent it to her...

And wrote a sentence;

"If you want to become famous, I can help you. I have many videos like yours."

"Breaking off the engagement is your best option."

"Otherwise, I will ruin your reputation."

Just as Lin Ruoxi was about to speak, she realized that Xiao Zhan had hung up the phone. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth and said, "Fuck you, Xiao Zhan! Do you really think I care about you? You're so shameless! You want to break off the engagement? Unless one of us dies, I'll wear you down!"

"Ding-dong!"

Suddenly, a message came in on her phone. When she opened it, Lin Ruoxi was stunned. In the video, she saw herself and Xiao Ya rolling around and wrestling on the bed, doing all sorts of things.

"Holy crap, how did Xiao Zhan get this kind of video?"

At this moment, Uncle Lin was already dressed and walking away. When he saw Lin Ruoxi's expression, he became so angry that his chest heaved.

So he stopped and said, "Miss, don't be angry. Xiao Zhan is a very filial son. As long as you appease Lin Wanrong, he won't be able to call off the engagement."

Lin Ruoxi thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Lin, I'll give you an address. You need to arrange for someone to take care of this person as soon as possible. This person knows a lot of my secrets, and his existence is very disadvantageous to me."

Without asking why, Uncle Lin nodded and agreed, "Okay! I'll arrange for someone to go right away."

Anyway, he's done this kind of thing quite often.

Lin Ruoxi added, "Uncle Lin, you used your connections with the relevant departments to delete all the negative news about Xiao Zhan going to the hospital this morning from the internet. Now Xiao Zhan is insisting that I did it, and I can't clear my name even if I jump into the Yellow River."

Uncle Lin thought for a moment and said, "Miss, by doing this, you are admitting that you are manipulating the news media behind the scenes, and that you are forcing Xiao Zhan to comply. Once you do it, it's like mud falling into your pants—even if it's not shit, it's still shit."

Lin Ruoxi: "I've not only failed to catch the weasel, but I've also gotten myself into a mess. Xiao Zhan is adamant that I did it. Let's suppress this matter first."

"Let's ease the tension between Xiao Zhan and me first."

Uncle Lin's eyes flickered a few times before he said, "Alright then!"

Then I took out my phone, made a call, and gave a few instructions after the call connected.

Just as Uncle Lin hung up the phone, another call came in. He frowned when he saw the caller ID, and after listening to the other person say a few words, he said, "I know, you're really useless. I'll send someone to bail you out."

After hanging up the phone, Uncle Lin said to Lin Ruoxi, "Miss, those two guys failed last night. Qin Huanhuan and her companion were rescued by Xiao Zhan's bodyguard captain, Shen Jun. The two men I sent were seriously injured and have been taken to the hospital by the police for treatment."

"This matter must have caught Xiao Zhan's attention. He will likely send people to secretly protect Qin Huanhuan, making it difficult to find another opportunity to strike later."

Lin Ruoxi said resentfully, "Why don't you take advantage of the fact that Xiao Zhan's men haven't arrived yet and find an assassin to kill that little bitch Qin Huanhuan? She dares to steal my man!"

Uncle Lin hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss, won't doing this provoke Xiao Zhan and make him more determined to break off the engagement? It will cause a huge mess for everyone. Besides, the Lin family just received 600 million yuan from the Xiao family, but it will take some time to recover."

"I suggest we try to stabilize Xiao Zhan and the Xiao family first."

"This is a critical moment; a single move could have far-reaching consequences."

Lin Ruoxi frowned and remained silent.

Uncle Lin continued, "Miss, the Lin family and the Xiao family will eventually have a battle, but not now. We don't fight battles we can't win. We either don't make a move, or when we do, we must strike a vital blow so that Xiao Zhan has no chance to fight back."

"Otherwise, he might turn against you!"

Lin Ruoxi thought about it and felt that what Uncle Lin said made sense.

So he asked, "Uncle Lin, do you have any good ideas to keep Xiao Zhan from announcing the engagement and give us enough time?"

Uncle Lin thought for a moment and said, "Tell Xiao Zhan that if he dares to break off the engagement, you should go all out and kill Qin Huanhuan. At worst, we'll all fight to the death and perish together."

Lin Ruoxi was stunned when she heard this.

She didn't understand what Uncle Lin meant.

Uncle Lin realized that she didn't understand what he meant.

So he explained, "Xiao Zhan is obsessed with Qin Huanhuan now, so we'll use Qin Huanhuan to distract Xiao Zhan, buy time for the Lin family to reorganize their plans, and also give you enough time to make your plans. This is called trading time for space."

Lin Ruoxi understood this time.

He nodded and said, "Good idea, let's do it."

"Phew~~"

Lin Ruoxi took a few deep breaths and then dialed Xiao Zhan's number.

"Beep beep beep!"

Xiao Zhan answered the phone and asked, "Miss Lin, have you made a choice?"

Lin Ruoxi said, "Xiao Zhan, this kind of video is obviously a fake, artificially created. The woman in the bed just looks like me. How could I do something so stupid and lacking in intelligence?"

"I've already called the police, and they will give me justice. I've also had someone use their connections with relevant departments to delete all those news reports online. Although I didn't do it, it's related to me. Slapping you in the face is slapping me in the face, so I can't ignore it."

Xiao Zhan said sarcastically, "Then I thank Miss Lin."

Lin Ruoxi said sincerely, "Xiao Zhan, let's stop arguing. Ever since you came back, you've been prejudiced against me, saying all sorts of things that imply you dislike me. I don't know why, but this is really pointless. I've waited for you for so many years, and now that you're back, you're not the person I wanted."

"Xiao Zhan, how about we each take a step back? You don't mention breaking off the engagement, and I won't cause trouble for Qin Huanhuan. I've thought it through. Men love to have fun when they're young, and everyone has a few female confidantes. Once you're tired of playing around and have had your fun, you'll naturally come back to me. This will always be your safe harbor."

It's safe to say that if outsiders heard Lin Ruoxi's heartfelt words, they would definitely give her a thumbs up and praise her, saying, "This is a virtuous woman, a well-educated and reasonable woman."

However, Xiao Zhan already knew what kind of woman Lin Ruoxi was.

Xiao Zhan thought for a moment and said, "To consider the overall situation, I can temporarily put aside the matter of annulling the engagement, but we cannot discuss the marriage again. You handle this matter."

Lin Ruoxi: "Alright! Xiao Zhan, we must maintain a united front against external threats. This is essential for the interests of both the Xiao and Lin families."
