Chapter 498 Banquet Invitation
Chapter 498 Banquet Invitation
Lin Yu thought he knew Fu Luo quite well.
Although Fu Luo is a complete coward most of the time, there are rare times when this coward can become unusually tough.
One is that when he realizes that it is useless to give in, Fu Luo will go directly to the other extreme, become almost crazy and tough and show a very "willing to sacrifice his life" attitude.
The other is...
When Fu Luo realizes that he is actually in an "advantageous" and "superior" position, he becomes particularly arrogant.
Commonly known as a dog that relies on the power of others and never gives in.
The current conditions apply to both situations.
Therefore, according to Fu Luo's behavior pattern, it is not impossible for me to be tough now.
After Lin Yu made those vicious words, Huo Le's momentum weakened a little.
She looked at Lin Yu and whispered to explain her behavior: "Sorry, I just lost control."
"Out of control?... Then what would your mother say when she saw you losing control? Can someone who's out of control be a good head of the Buyetian family?"
Lin Yu also stood up.
Huo Le's height was just the average for an ordinary woman. Now that Lin Yu stood up, she had to look up at him.
In terms of momentum, Buyetian Huo Le couldn't help but feel a little inferior.
"You have a point, but..."
"I don't want to hear your explanation," Lin Yu interrupted her and adjusted his hat. "Don't explain. Control your emotions better next time."
"You agree with what you said," Lin Yu took a step forward, almost sticking to Buyetian Huo Le, "We are indeed grasshoppers on the same rope, with no one to rely on except each other. But because of this, please don't let me down, Buyetian Huo Le."
"You must not make mistakes, you must not collapse, you must not lose control, you must be perfect at all times and in all places."
Lin Yu spoke seriously, and Buyetian Huo Le's body trembled slightly.
"Did you hear me?"
Huo Le's eyelashes were also trembling, like the trembling of a pine branch bent by the snow and rebounding.
"I understand, Forbolo."
She responded in a low voice, but Lin Yu did not spare her.
Lin Yu stretched out his hand and pinched Buyetian Huo Le in turn—not the neck, but the face.
Obviously, Huo Le of Buyetian had not expected this, and a look of fear appeared on his face.
"How dare you, Forboluo, even if you have your mother's favor..."
"You are still weak and stupid, Nevernight Fire Music," Lin Yu said coldly, his offense and defense completely changing. "Don't show such an expression, don't say such words."
The music of Buyetian Huo Le was interrupted and became even more anxious.
But at this critical moment, she suddenly seemed to calm down and held Lin Yu's hand that was pinching her with one hand.
"let me go!"
Buyetian Huo Le said this, and then twisted Lin Yu's hand.
Lin Yu didn't use much strength to resist, and let Buye Tianhuole bend his hand back.
He grimaced in pain, but also laughed: "Right, this is more appropriate. It feels a bit like the head of the family. You have to remember this feeling."
Lin Yu said this with a big laugh.
Huo Le of Buyetian let go of his hand.
Looking at Lin Yu who was covering his hands and grimacing, Buyetian Huo Le showed a distressed expression.
"Why are you so radical today? What on earth have you been through recently?"
"Because time is even more pressing, the eldest lady, Buyetian Huoshu, just tried to win me over while she was taking a bath," Lin Yu said calmly, "The Shenglan family meeting is about to be held, and I just came back from the outer city... Someone has issued a commission to assassinate the steward of the third son of the Shenglan family."
Huo Le of Buyetian was surprised: "Has the struggle within the Shenglan Family reached such a point that they actually have to rely on forces from the outer city?"
"So, you just came back today in President Paris's car... Are you worried that Huoshu and other families from the Nevernight Sky are contacting him?"
Lin Yu nodded slowly. No matter how Buyetian Huo Le came to this conclusion, he would not reject it.
"That's right, but at least Paris is trustworthy. He and I have had some rifts and grudges before, and now in this critical moment, we have to resolve them," Lin Yu said with a headache, "Now is the most turbulent time in the City That Never Sleeps. You can't make any mistakes, not at all."
"The commissions from the outer city aren't just targeting the steward of the Shenglan family," Lin Yu said in a low voice, "There might even be assassination commissions targeting the five nobles themselves."
Huo Le's face changed slightly: "Who is so bold?"
"I don't know, but you still need to be extremely careful."
Lin Yu said seriously, "This is also the main reason why I came to you today. Civilians and bandits dare not attack the princes and nobles, but if there are other princes and nobles behind them, the situation will be different."
As he spoke, Huo Le nodded seriously.
"I understand, I understand..."
She looked at Lin Yu and narrowed her eyes: "There are some words that you can't say too clearly, but I know."
"If necessary... I will consider hiring someone to kill the other competitors."
Lin Yu raised his eyebrows: "I didn't say that."
"By the way, there's one more thing...Is your sister's birthday coming up soon?"
"Bu Ye Tian Huo Xing? Why are you asking her?"
Huo Le of Buyetian said in surprise.
"I'm going to attend her birthday party. Do you have an invitation or something? By the way, what kind of gift would be appropriate?"
Lin Yu asked naturally.
Buyetian Huo Le frowned and said, "That's not necessary. Although Buyetian Huo Xing will soon be an adult, her eccentric personality poses no threat to me at all. You don't have to worry about her... Moreover, even though she and Huo Shu have the same father, they don't have a good relationship."
"Honestly, I think it would be better to let her live—at least without having to operate on her first."
Lin Yu was shocked when he heard what Buyetian Huo Le said.
It turns out that these nobles don’t have a strong sense of “family affection”!
I just reminded Huo Le in Buyetian that someone had issued an "assassination commission", and she immediately thought of killing other heirs. She understood it immediately.
Now that he mentioned Buyetian Huoxing, Buyetian Huo Le's subconscious reaction was that he wanted to kill the other party.
It turns out that aristocrats are born political animals!
"Is it possible that I am simply going to attend her birthday party and participate in some social activities as a guest of the Buyetian family at such a social occasion?"
Lin Yu said seriously.
Huo Le looked at Lin Yu and said, "In other words, you don't intend to use this coming-of-age ceremony to kill anyone?"
"That was never the intention."
Lin Yu said seriously.
