Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

”I am willing to stay.”

”I am also willing to stay.”

”I’ve seen Boss Lin.”

Feeling the cold sharpness in Lin Yafei’s eyes, and with Situ Feng’s prior stance, others did not hesitate. One after another, they followed suit and submitted. They weren’t fools; they knew very well that leaving the Sky Dragon Gang, if not killed by Lin Yafei, they might not be spared by the Wang Family. Staying in the Sky Dragon Gang, with Lin Yafei present, even if the Wang Family were to strike, their target would be Lin Yafei, not them. Besides, if the Wang Family made a move against Lin Yafei, Han Zifeng would certainly not stand idly by and would get involved. No matter what, the Wang Family’s retaliation would not fall on their heads. Why should they leave?

Seeing that everyone had chosen to stay, Lin Yafei’s slender fingers rhythmically tapped on the armrest of the chair. The crisp sound echoed in the hall for a long time before she slowly spoke, ”It seems you’ve all made up your minds, good, very good. I can assure you, those who stay will gain more in the future, something the Wang Family cannot give you. But don’t blame me for speaking frankly, if anyone dares to betray me, they should not blame me for being ruthless.”

Everyone maintained their silence, awaiting Lin Yafei’s next words.

”Starting today, the Sky Dragon Gang formally breaks away from the Wang Family and joins the force behind me. As for the power behind me, you do not have the right to know. However, don’t make wild guesses; it has nothing to do with the Han Family.”

”What?”

Hearing Lin Yafei’s words, everyone’s face changed. How could this be possible? They had originally thought that Lin Yafei had the backing of the Han Family to dare to move against the Sky Dragon Gang, including Situ Feng, who was somewhat in disbelief. Behind Lin Yafei was a mysterious force; who could it be, daring to openly challenge the Wang Family? Could it be that they wished to spark a new round of aristocratic warfare?

Who had such audacity to make a move against the Wang Family!

All were filled with speculation, filtering through various forces in their minds, but unfortunately, they reached no answer.

Lin Yafei, as if seeing through everyone’s thoughts, spoke directly, ”Stop guessing. You won’t be able to guess. You only need to know that the force behind me is very strong. Moreover, I won’t become the Gang Leader of the Sky Dragon Gang. From now on, Situ Feng becomes the new Gang Leader of the Sky Dragon Gang.”

Hearing Lin Yafei’s words, everyone present, including Situ Feng, had a change in expression. They couldn’t have imagined Lin Yafei would go to great lengths, not hesitating to offend the Wang Family to take down the Sky Dragon Gang, only to choose not to become the Gang Leader in the end. Wasn’t this making a wedding dress for someone else?

What exactly did she want to do, was it just to take revenge on the Wang Family for chasing her previously?

”Boss Lin, doesn’t this seem a bit illogical?” Situ Feng said, somewhat hesitantly.

”There’s nothing against common sense here,”

Lin Yafei said indifferently, ”This matter is settled then, Situ Feng. You are the most fitting person to become the new Gang Leader of the Sky Dragon Gang. I know you are the brains behind the Sky Dragon Gang, and Wang Wei’s success today is all because of your support. Additionally, you were the first to pledge loyalty to me, so it is completely justified to call you the new Gang Leader of the Sky Dragon Gang.”

”However, there’s something I hope you all remember: although I’m not the Gang Leader of the Sky Dragon Gang, there are times when I will need your help, and you absolutely cannot refuse. Likewise, if you find yourselves in danger, I will also choose to step in and help you. Remember, no matter how your powers may fight or change, I need your absolute loyalty. You must pay homage every year. Otherwise, if I can make you rise, I can just as easily destroy you. I hope you all understand this point.”

”Acting as the power behind the throne.”

Upon hearing Lin Yafei’s words, this thought surfaced in everyone’s mind. Lin Yafei’s approach was evidently that of the power behind the throne—a situation where the Emperor seems to reign with infinite glory, yet the real control lies in the hands of another. Lin Yafei is that true power behind the curtain, and the resplendent Emperor is Situ Feng. However, Situ Feng is far luckier than a puppet Emperor because he can freely mobilize the strength of the Sky Dragon Gang without Lin Yafei’s interference.

When Situ Feng heard Lin Yafei’s words, his body trembled. As the brain of the Sky Dragon Gang, he was certainly no fool and clearly understood what Lin Yafei meant by her actions: the establishment of a massive underground empire. The state’s violent machinery would never allow one faction to dominate, but it would tolerate a proliferation of power. Otherwise, massive clans and forces wouldn’t exist in Huaxia Land.

Lin Yafei’s strategy, however, was to keep all these clan forces in her grasp. To put it simply, these forces were like small ropes, insignificant on their own and overlooked by most when their strength was not needed. But when necessary, these small ropes could be twisted together into a single rope of terrifying power, capable of crushing all opposition.

If he wasn’t mistaken, this was precisely Lin Yafei’s plan, holding each small rope in hand, ready to intertwine them into a large one with formidable strength when the time came.

When facing the violent machinery of the state, this power could be divided and eventually fade away without trace. Even if it led back to Lin Yafei, she had countless ways to deflect responsibility since she wasn’t the actual controller of these forces.

Looking at Lin Yafei’s undisturbed eyes and delicate face, Situ Feng felt not a trace of emotion but rather a deep chill in his heart. This woman was terrifying, calculating everything so precisely that it struck fear into the very core of people not to question her words. A perfect example of killing the chicken to scare the monkey, executing various tactics to perfection.

He didn’t doubt for a second that if someone dared to betray her here, they would definitely face a thunderous retribution.

Lin Yafei, oblivious to the shocked gazes of Situ Feng and others, glanced around and stood up from her chair, ”Alright, it’s about time I head back. Remember, I won’t interfere with the affairs of the Sky Dragon Gang. I only value capability and power. If you are worthy, you can also take Situ Feng down and take the Gang Leader’s seat of the Sky Dragon Gang. I won’t interfere in such matters. Situ Feng, don’t blame me for being blunt, I have no use for incompetence. If one day you are dethroned and die, it’s merely because you lacked the ability.”

Upon hearing Lin Yafei’s words, a sharp light flashed in the eyes of everyone present. They had initially thought that Situ Feng would hold the Gang Leader position of the Sky Dragon Gang securely. It seemed they had thought too simple.

Looking at one another, they could see the flicker of ambition in each other’s eyes. If they could take down Situ Feng, they could become the new Gang Leader of the Sky Dragon Gang—why wouldn’t they go for it?
