Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 526: Two Choices

In the office, Jin Chenglong’s expression was heavy, fitting well with the loss of his younger brother.

But in Ling Tianyou’s eyes, the only thing worth praising about Jin Chenglong was his exceptional acting skill!

"President Ling."

"President Jin."

Ling Tianyou stood up, shook hands politely, and then looked at Jin Chenglong, saying: "Please sit, President Jin. We all know why you’re here; there’s no need to beat around the bush. You can speak directly!"

Jin Chenglong probably didn’t expect Ling Tianyou to be so straightforward, having prepared to spar with him before coming.

Surprisingly, it seemed Ling Tianyou wanted to resolve this quickly?

Seated on the leather sofa, Jin Chenglong looked at Ling Tianyou and said: "Xiaobao hit someone today, it’s my failure as a father. No matter how much they ask, I will compensate! But President Ling, please consider that Xiaobao is still so young. If he gets a criminal record, it’ll haunt him for life."

Ling Tianyou maintained a calm expression, gently tapping his fingers on the table, yet each sound seemed to resonate deeply in Jin Chenglong’s heart.

After an unknown amount of time, Ling Tianyou suddenly spoke: "President Jin, given your influence, it shouldn’t be a problem to get Jin Xiaobao out of the detention center, right? Why are you hesitating to step forward?"

Jin Chenglong found himself unable to respond, while Jin Xiaobao had stirred up trouble across A City, this issue hadn’t yet escalated to the internet.

If it went online at this point, many of his affairs would be implicated.

This son of his had already brought numerous troubles.

"Not afraid of being mocked by President Ling, but there’s been a death in the family, coupled with many inconvenient matters preventing me from stepping forward, so I seek President Ling’s leniency for my child!"

Ling Tianyou stopped tapping the table: "I can do this, but your son has repeatedly troubled me, should this matter be brushed aside? Hmm?"

Despite being much younger than Jin Chenglong, Ling Tianyou’s presence overshadowed him.

Jin Chenglong felt bitter inside, knowing that without Ling Tianyou’s concession, even if he managed to get his son Jin Xiaobao out, follow-up issues wouldn’t be resolved.

It was precisely for this reason that he had come to Ling Tianyou’s office.

It seemed Ling Tianyou harbored significant disdain for him.

"What does President Ling want? Whatever I have, I’ll offer wholeheartedly, without hesitation." Jin Chenglong said.

Ling Tianyou chuckled lightly: "President Jin truly jests, do you think I’m someone who lacks anything?"

Jin Chenglong paused in confusion, momentarily indecisive.

Indeed! Ling Tianyou had everything, even during the Ling Family’s bleakest times, they earned far more than in his peak.

What does she want then?

Jin Chenglong looked at Ling Tianyou, "Then President Ling, tell me, what do you want?"

Ling Tianyou didn’t speak, but his eyes seemed to pierce through: "One, you take your men and vanish from A City. I don’t want to see any businesses or people related to the Jin Family."

Jin Chenglong was stunned, his emotions a tempest inside. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Was Ling Tianyou waiting for him here? Was he trying to banish him from A City?

No, it can’t be!

He had struggled for everything today, leaving A City would mean losing it all.

Seeing Jin Chenglong’s indescribable expression, Ling Tianyou continued: "Two, you go and kneel to apologize to someone face-to-face, let them handle it, and this matter is over. What do you think?"

Jin Chenglong looked up and asked Ling Tianyou: "Who?"

A faintly perceptible smile finally appeared on Ling Tianyou’s cold face: "This person shouldn’t be unfamiliar to President Jin, you recently invited them as a guest at home!"

Jin Chenglong looked at Ling Tianyou, his expression even uglier: "President Ling, are you referring to... Shangguan Wuyue?"

Ling Tianyou nodded: "Precisely him!"

Jin Chenglong was momentarily baffled, wondering what relationship existed between Shangguan Wuyue and Ling Tianyou.

Why, according to his knowledge, did Shangguan Wuyue have no ties to the Ling Family?

Given this, why was Ling Tianyou helping Shangguan Wuyue get revenge?

The atmosphere grew even more silent, as Jin Chenglong silently deliberated, refraining from speaking.

Seeing this, Ling Tianyou then looked at Jin Chenglong and said: "So, which option do you choose, President Jin?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Chenglong finally looked up at Ling Tianyou and said: "One bold question, what’s the relation between you and Shangguan Wuyue, President Ling? Why do..."

Before finishing, Ling Tianyou already chuckled: "You might understand once you see Shangguan Wuyue again. For now, all you need to do is pick one choice!"

In these circumstances, by choosing the first option and taking his men to leave A City, Jin Chenglong might still have a way out.

Simply put, he might not be willing to part with everything he currently has.

As expected, Jin Chenglong hesitated for a long time and said to Ling Tianyou: "I choose two."

Ling Tianyou chuckled lightly: "Has President Jin considered it thoroughly?"

Jin Chenglong nodded: "Yes!"

"But there’s one thing I still want to explain to President Ling; the previous incident of injuring Shangguan Wuyue wasn’t my idea."

Ling Tianyou looked at Jin Chenglong and his smile grew deeper: "President Jin wouldn’t be saying your esteemed son was responsible for that again, would he!"

Jin Chenglong shook his head: "It’s my mother who, out of love, acted impulsively while I wasn’t present, commanding my men to do it."

"Oh?" Ling Tianyou scrutinized Jin Chenglong’s appearance, seemingly considering the truth: "Then where did President Jin’s firearms and ammunition come from?"

Perhaps someone influential was contacted?

Jin Chenglong remained silent, pausing for two seconds before looking at Ling Tianyou: "Now, Shangguan Wuyue’s whereabouts can’t be traced, President Ling, what do you suggest?"

Ling Tianyou expected such an outcome and wasn’t surprised when Jin Chenglong didn’t reveal the origins of the firearms, merely smiling: "In the next couple of days, I will give President Jin a clear message. As for your son, he’ll return to you this evening. Just remember to educate him well—don’t let this happen again. Next time, I can’t guarantee he’ll appear unharmed before you."

Jin Chenglong nodded, looking at Ling Tianyou and said: "Certainly, I won’t disturb President Ling any further, I’ll head back now!"

Ling Tianyou responded, summoned the assistant, and instructed: "Make sure to escort President Jin out properly, don’t neglect him!"

"Yes, President Ling!" The assistant said and turned to Jin Chenglong: "President Jin, this way please!"
