Chapter 641: The Engagement

Editor: Millman97

"What if there鈥檚 no opportunity? If the Lin family doesn鈥檛 do anything, then we won鈥檛 be able to do anything either, right?" Ali asked worriedly.

Xinghe shook her head. "No, they will definitely not sit idle."

Cairn got the gist and guessed, "It took great lengths for the Lin family to reach their current status, so they will not give up everything they鈥檝e worked for so easily..."

"That鈥檚 right." Xinghe nodded. "They have sacrificed too much to give up so easily. They will not give up until the very last moment."

"What else do they need to do? With no one breathing down their necks, even if they do nothing, they should be able to rise up again," Sam said with a frown.

Xinghe smiled thinly. "Impossible. At most this time the Lin family only managed to save their own hide. The Shen family only stopped pressuring them, there鈥檚 still efforts to be done before they revert to their earlier relationship. Furthermore, the president has started to get guarded around them. The Lin family will need to do more before they can recover fully."

"That鈥檚 right!" Mubai鈥檚 lips curved into a smile. "So this is just the beginning, and they will definitely continue on with this momentum."

"Therefore, all we have to do is to bide our time. Even if there is no opportunity, we will have to create one!" A cold determination flickered behind Xinghe鈥檚 gaze. This time they would crush the Lin family. This was their perfect chance, missing it would change everything.

After the Lin family fell, the whole power structure in City A would be changed. Therefore, this war would be the real deciding war. Both Xinghe鈥檚 party and the Lin family understood this. They were perfectly familiar with the things that hung in balance!

From that moment on, none of them dared to slip up. They paid full attention to their every move, afraid of accidents.

...

However, as cautious of Lin family were, they had to do something. They had to recover their earlier standing before the upcoming election. They had to mend the relationship with the other powerful families.

As Xinghe and Mubai expected, a big piece of news came out from the Lin family!

Lin family鈥檚 third young master and Tong family鈥檚 young mistress were getting engaged!

Those that were on the outside didn鈥檛 think much about this pairing. After all, it was public knowledge that Tong Yan was in love with Lin Xuan, so they assumed he finally accepted her pursuit.

However, for Xinghe and the rest, this development was too suspicious. Tong Yan was just taken advantage of by Lin Xuan, and even if Lin Xuan did save Shen Ru, there was no reason for them to hand Tong Yan over to the Lin family. Furthermore, the timing of these events did raise a few eyebrows.

For Lin Xuan to get engaged to Tong Yan at the time like this, there had to be some bigger plan at play!

Xinghe couldn鈥檛 understand why the Tong family would agree to this engagement.

The Tong family was essentially helping the Lin family get to the top. Why would they do that after they had already realized the Lin family鈥檚 wicked ambitions?

Even Mubai and Elder Xi couldn鈥檛 get it.

Elder Xi commented with a serious expression, "There must be something going on!"

"There is something wrong with the Tong family as well," Mubai suggested even though his tone was certain.

Xinghe nodded. "Indeed, the Tong family appears to be acting against their own interests, and I believe the key to understanding all of this lies with Shen Ru."

Elder Xi and Mubai turned to look at her, waiting to hear her analysis.
