Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1823: Chapter 1443: It’s All Up to You

The reason Ma Zongting called Dong Tianlu was because he quite understood this woman. Though Dong Tianlu was his ally, he truly couldn’t be complacent about her. People often say women are capricious, and Dong Tianlu, being a beauty, a woman among women, is even more so. Her capriciousness in cooperation is not unheard of!

Frankly, she’s not a good ally.

It’s just that she’s strong enough, or rather, the Dong Family under her leadership is strong enough!

So after carefully inquiring Luo Zitian about the matter of ”Lin Sheng,” Ma Zongting immediately called and presented his reasoning to Dong Tianlu, hoping to stabilize the alliance.

Although Ma Zongting couldn’t immediately verify more information with the Lin Family, he trusted his own judgment that the ”Lin Family member” was just a psychological tactic meant to spread confusion, and possibly behind it all was Lu Yun!

Ma Zongting explained his rationale to Dong Tianlu, but unexpectedly, she had a different opinion.

”What is your different opinion?” Ma Zongting asked.

”Mr. Ma is using common sense to judge situations, but what if they choose not to play by common sense!” Dong Tianlu said leisurely on the phone, ”They’re sending a junior under the pretense of helping a friend, or maybe investing in their own right to seize Shengsheng International, and at the first opportunity, letting that junior reveal his Lin Family identity to us.”

Ma Zongting was taken aback, then chuckled, ”Why would they do that?”

”To probe!” Dong Tianlu’s tone deepened, ”The Lin Family uses this as a test to see if we, the three major families, would give them this bit of face, and give up a mere Shengsheng International — which is not overly important yet not trivial either, just perfect for testing our attitude. Of course, what they don’t know is what kind of scheme we’re planning with Shengsheng International!”

Dong Tianlu continued, ”If we don’t even give this bit of face, don’t even concede this ’small benefit’, then the Lin Family, who has been watching this Tengyun Yuema battle, will think that trying to interfere, trying to profit from it, running over to our side, is not feasible! They’ll think we’re too protective of our food!”

”And by interfering in the little enterprise’s shares dispute, they not only test us but also find a way to connect with Lu Yun—after all, Zhengdong Province is Lu Yun’s future son-in-law! With that bond, they can connect with Lu Yun and help Tengyun navigate difficulties or even turn the tide, think about how much the Lin Family will earn!”

Dong Tianlu didn’t wait for Ma Zongting’s reply, she continued, ”Adding embellishments after success is not as good as providing timely help during difficulties! It’s the latter that gets remembered! Imagine, if the Lin Family saves Tengyun then Tengyun surely will do their best to reciprocate! If they help Tengyun overturn the situation, won’t the division of market and profits let the Lin Family earn big!”

Dong Tianlu continued, ”Mr. Ma says there’s a dispute between the Lin Family and Tengyun, but that was years ago. Regardless of when, disputes are temporary, whereas benefits are eternal. As far as I know, the Lin Family has been wanting to expand business inland, and Tengyun controls what neither you nor I possess—network resources! I think if the Lin Family really wants to help them at all costs, they’re definitely eyeing those resources!”

Dong Tianlu spoke incessantly about her thoughts.

On the phone line, Ma Zongting was silent.

However, he wasn’t convinced by Dong Tianlu. In fact, her seemingly reasonable analysis appeared somewhat fantastical and unrealistic to him, with many loopholes!

But does such a possibility truly not exist at all?

Ma Zongting himself couldn’t be certain.

After all, all kinds of impossibilities happen in this world, like Western politicians who, after numerous competitions, thought to be everyone’s elite, spouting astonishingly ”foolish” statements, indeed.

The world is unpredictable, and perhaps in this matter, Dong Tianlu’s devious thoughts, wouldn’t the Lin Family think similarly.

Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance, it is possible.

”Since you’re worried, fine, I’ll go find someone now and get in touch with the Lin Family. See if they have such an intent. Although extremely troublesome, at least it will put us at ease.” Ma Zongting replied.

”Thank you, Mr. Ma.” Dong Tianlu said.

Bai Xiaosheng probably couldn’t have imagined that by casually taking on an identity, impulsively letting Luo Zitian misunderstand him, he unwittingly stirred up such an effect, causing such trouble for Ma Zongting and Dong Tianlu...

It’s likely that the Lin Family would be even more baffled, feeling inexplicable.

If Bai Xiaosheng knew, he might laugh so hard it would hurt.

Dong Tianlu then continued on the phone, ”Mr. Ma, you probably won’t get concrete information from that side immediately. But if things are really as I said, would the Lin Family easily admit that it was arranged by the family? They’ll just say it’s a junior’s unilateral decision, telling us not to mind. Then, what?”

On the phone line, Ma Zongting frowned, as all the words had been preemptively spoken by Dong Tianlu.

”So, Tianlu, what’s your suggestion then?” Ma Zongting still patiently asked.

”Well, tomorrow I’ll bring my brother along for observation, keeping a low profile.” Dong Tianlu said, ”If I really feel there’s a risk as predicted, then Mr. Ma, what do you think I should do?”

Dong Tianlu tossed the initial question back to Ma Zongting.

If you say it’s fine, then your Ma Family will take the lead.

If you say retreat, then my Dong Family will step back first.

Anyway, asking you about principles, whatever happens, my Dong Family won’t be responsible.

This was Dong Tianlu’s point.

Ma Zongting knew this woman’s mind and was rather helpless.

Even Haoyu mentioned that women and petty people are hard to maintain, Dong Tianlu being a beauty was sometimes indeed a petty person, more vexing than an enemy.

”Tomorrow, my son Tianqing will also go over with you guys. If things truly are as Miss Tianlu anticipates, very troublesome, then whether to abandon or not will solely be your decision. Stepping back, even if this plan halts now, I won’t blame you!” Ma Zongting finally said.

Dong Tianlu’s lips curled into a smile.

Ma Zongting spoke kindly, but also sent his son over.

Perhaps to keep an eye on the situation...

”Alright, since Mr. Ma has given such a privilege, I will be extremely careful to decide.” Dong Tianlu replied politely.

Anyway, it was Ma Zongting who said it, and he can’t deny it later.

”Actually, even without this scheme, we’re already in a favorable position against Tengyun, so it entirely depends on your judgment.” Ma Zongting laughed.

The two chatted a bit more before hanging up the phone.

Dong Tianlu hung up the phone, placed the mobile on the coffee table, looked calmly before expressing a meaningful smile, ”Relying on my decision? Alright...”

At this moment, Bai Xiaosheng and others were also chatting with Zhengdong Province for quite a while, considering all aspects thoroughly, finally, everyone sighed a breath of relief.

Zhengdong Province stood up, stretched, and said to the three with a smile, ”I think we’ve thought thoroughly enough, detailed enough, tomorrow definitely foolproof. Next, let’s gather our spirits, rest well, so we can face it with energy. You guys haven’t been here for a while, let me take you out for a walk and have a grand dinner tonight!”

”I agree.” Bai Xiaosheng stood up smiling, ”Rest well, we’ll break the impasse tomorrow!”

Honestly, he was somewhat looking forward to it!
