Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 576: Chapter 574: Timing [3rd Update, Mind Blown]

Lin Lie’s face turned green and purple with fury!

”You headhunters are seeking death, aren’t you?”

”You really wanted to go there, didn’t you!” Lin Lie gritted his teeth and glared at the headhunter.

”No, no!”

The headhunter quickly denied.

”Then why the hell haven’t you hung up the phone yet?!”

Lin Lie was almost ready to smash the phone onto the headhunter’s head.

”Oh, oh.”

The headhunter hurriedly hung up the call, but quietly took note of Erwa’s number—perhaps it really was worth a look!

”Young Master Lin, should we keep digging?”

Another headhunter asked cautiously.

”Dig! Why not dig?! Even if we can’t dig anyone out, we have to create an atmosphere of unease. I refuse to believe we can’t dig out a single one!”

Lin Lie said furiously.

The moment his words ended.

”Young Master Lin, we got one!”

A headhunter suddenly announced.

”Nice!” Lin Lie’s rage instantly vanished, replaced by a smile: ”See, it’s doable, right! There must be people who don’t want to die with Lu Xiaobu!”

The headhunters all nodded, admiringly.

”Young Master Lin is so capable!”

”666!”

”With Young Master Lin stepping up, Lu Xiaobu is nothing!”

”...”

”By the way, what’s the position of the one we dug out?” Lin Lie, full of pride, said: ”Tell them, come over, and I’ll promote them, make them a manager directly!”

”Yes, I will relay your message right away!”

The headhunter promptly responded.

Then, three seconds later, the headhunter’s phone dropped onto the desk, his expression stiffening.

”What’s up?”

Lin Lie was baffled.

The headhunter dared not speak.

Lin Lie snatched the phone.

After that.

A motherly voice with an accent came through the phone: ”Hello, hello, hello, why aren’t you talking? Hello? You promised to make me a manager, I’ve been a cleaning lady my whole life, never been a manager before!”

”Whoosh!”

Lin Lie’s face went green instantly!

He grabbed the phone and slammed it on the headhunter’s head: ”You fuck the next door! I told you to headhunt! What the hell does digging up a cleaning lady mean for me?! Go to your mother’s!”

He kept smashing the phone onto the headhunter’s head, again and again.

His fury was beyond verbal expression!

Go to hell!

Digging up a cleaning lady?!

And even offering a manager’s role?!

Manager, fuck the next door!

Goddamn it!

After a while, Lin Lie, panting heavily, stopped beating, too exhausted.

”Dammit! Carry on!”

Lin Lie, clenching his teeth, left the office!

He knew he had failed again!

With a face like thunder, he returned to the Lin Family!

Yep, as you guessed, Housekeeper Jia appeared again!

”Our Young Master asks, how many did you dig up? Oh right, my Young Master also says sorry, he forgot to tell you, Lu Xiaobu’s employees have a nickname, called the Iron Cavalry!” Housekeeper Jia said casually.

”Go fuck your mother!”

Lin Lie exploded, he charged towards Housekeeper Jia, ready to throw punches!

”Is Young Master Lin going to discipline me? Come on, I won’t move! Please do!”

Housekeeper Jia stood right there, not dodging or hiding, quietly waiting for Lin Lie’s attack.

Go ahead, hit hard!

As long as Lin Lie took action today, the Young Master would have ten thousand ways to get out of the ancestral hall!

Once the Young Master was out, all you jumping clowns would have to lie down!

And at that moment.

Suddenly, someone appeared in front of Housekeeper Jia.

”Smack!”

Lin Lie’s fist fiercely smashed into the face that appeared.

”Smack!”

The person’s nose bridge was instantly broken, blood gushing from the nose.

However, the person merely wiped the blood from his nose and then calmly said to Lin Lie, ”Young Master, the Family Head is calling for you to return.”

”Wait a moment, I’ll take care of this old thing first!”

Lin Lie said, clenching his fists, ready to continue the fight.

”This is the Family Head’s command, cease your actions!”

The man said with utmost seriousness.

”Fine! You’ve escaped disaster this time!”

Lin Lie glared fiercely at Housekeeper Jia, then turned and left.

...

Lin Tianshen’s study.

”Dad.”

Lin Lie said with his head bowed.

”Did you succeed?”

Lin Tianshen poured a cup of tea and asked indifferently after taking a sip.

”No, I didn’t move a single one.”

Lin Lie said with immense shame.

”Do you have any more strategies?”

Lin Tianshen’s expression remained unexcited, neither praising nor punishing, and didn’t even mention Lin Lie’s earlier assault.

”No more!”

Lin Lie almost wanted to bury himself into a crack in the ground.

His enthusiasm had twice been high; he had twice believed he could defeat Lu Xiaobu, but both times he faced a humiliating setback.

Honestly speaking, he no longer had the face to look up.

”So, what’s the problem with these two attempts?”

Lin Tianshen pushed a cup of tea in front of Lin Lie.

”Problem?”

Lin Lie was at a loss for words, he had never considered where the problem lay.

”Alright, let’s change the question.”

Lin Tianshen said indifferently, ”I heard that Lin Feng has been sending Housekeeper Jia to provoke you repeatedly and even disclosed your plans?”

”Dad, listen to me, it was like this, I...”

Lin Lie began to explain defensively.

”Hm?”

Lin Tianshen’s eyelids slightly drooped, and he grunted.

”I...”

Lin Lie fell silent; he knew he had misspoken.

”Let me teach you a lesson, timing! No matter how perfect the plan, without the right timing, it’s all worthless!”

”Although Lu Xiaobu has lost his ranking among the wealthy, he hasn’t yet reached his moment of true weakness!”

”And you, so impatient to deal with Lu Xiaobu and even thinking of crushing him with one slap, can you truly do it?”

Lin Tianshen’s eyes showed emotion for the first time: ”Moreover, why could Lin Feng know your plan even in the ancestral hall? Because your plan had no ingenuity at all!”

”The plan already lacked ingenuity, and yet you are so impatient! Seeking praise, wanting to stand out, even going as far as to provoke Lin Feng!”

”With that kind of attitude, even if you became the Lin Family Head, I would personally remove you!”

”Because you would only bring the Lin Family to ruin!”

Lin Tianshen was usually calm when he spoke, but these words were delivered with utmost severity, even with a hint of murderous intent!

The tea in the cup on the table trembled non-stop!

”Yes!”

Lin Lie bowed his head, not daring to speak.

He might not be able to see it clearly for a while, but he definitely did not dare to disobey his father’s wishes.

”Alright, you may leave. Think carefully about what I’ve said to you today.”

Lin Tianshen waved his hand, ”Leave the matter of Lu Xiaobu to me. Only come back to me when you’ve understood my words.”

”Yes!”

Lin Lie did not dare to argue and walked out the door.

After watching Lin Lie leave, Lin Tianshen picked up the teacup again.

”Lu Xiaobu, not bad! Although Lin Lie’s two moves lacked ingenuity, you managed to come out unscathed, which indeed earns my praise.”

”However, the real challenge for you hasn’t started yet!”

After finishing his words, Lin Tianshen drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.

A sinister glint flashed through his eyes!

The timing is drawing near!

ps: Elder Feng’s mental state has exploded, so there will be three more updates. Writing and deleting, deleting and writing! Yes, I admit, I am a liar, a big bad guy!

Let me explain why my mental state has exploded!

First, a summary. To all pirate websites, please self-destruct right there! Thank you!

Some of you must think I’m easy to bully, right?!

Choosing not to bully others but to come to bully me?!

And to some of the readers of pirated copies, do you think it’s right to read them? Proud and righteous?!

Alright then, Elder Feng has never been a good guy, so I hope that in a few days, you’ll still be able to continue reading!
