Chapter 161: What is the Trump Card?
Su Wanqiao and Ren Kexin were both terrified.
Allying with loyalty, did it really necessitate such a resolute decision? To slit wrists and bleed? That was just too harsh.
The other colleagues inside the Su Family Building were also terrified.
Although everyone knew that Lin Shuang was highly skilled, they had never imagined... that an entire gang would swear fealty to him!
Just how formidable was Lin Shuang's strength?
Lin Shuang, cigarette in mouth, glanced indifferently at the group of Peace Society members.
"Hmm, the resolve is passable. Get up," he said.
Hearing this, Dong Yongping's face lit up with excitement as he respectfully said, "Thank you, Mr. Lin, for giving me this opportunity!"
Dong Yongping then struggled to his feet, trembling.
Behind him, the hundreds of Peace Society enforcers... also cautiously stood up.
"From today on, your Peace Society will belong under the Su Family Group, and you must loyally assist the Su Family Group," Lin Shuang reminded lightly.
Dong Yongping nodded gravely in agreement.
Lin Shuang motioned to Su Wanqiao who was not far off, "What are you staring at? Come and accept their allegiance."
It took a while for Su Wanqiao to snap out of it and walk forward in her high heels.
Dong Yongping respectfully saluted Su Wanqiao.
With a complex expression, Su Wanqiao gravely nodded her head.
Under Lin Shuang's sign, Dong Yongping, in front of all those present, swore an oath of allegiance to the Su Family Group right there.
After the oath was taken, Su Wanqiao also showed her sincerity by inviting Dong Yongping for a detailed discussion inside the Su Family Group.
Watching Lin Shuang and Su Wanqiao walk into the building...
This scene made Ren Kexin clench her teeth tightly.
For Su Wanqiao, Lin Shuang was willing to make such a significant contribution...
What kind of charm did Su Wanqiao have, to attract Lin Shuang to this extent?
Ren Kexin felt both jealousy and dissatisfaction.
But she could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything.
...
Dong Yongping was invited to the highest conference room of the Su Family Group, where he signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Su Wanqiao.
And a stock transfer agreement.
To demonstrate his sincerity, Dong Yongping even transferred 10% of the Peace Society's shares to Su Wanqiao, making her a shareholder and thereby giving her control over the Peace Society.
Su Wanqiao too showed enough goodwill, stating... that as long as the profits of the Su Family Group exceeded expectations, then the Peace Society would also receive dividend profits.
The Peace Society was now completely tied to the Su Family Group. The Su Family Group had become the largest shareholder of the Peace Society.
After the contracts were signed, Dong Yongping hesitated for a long time before finally speaking up to warn them, "That... Ms. Su, Mr. Lin, today I have pledged my loyalty to the Su Family Group... but there is something... I must warn you about... The Du Family, one of the four great families in Shanghai, had approached me for a partnership to oppose you... Now that I have pledged to you, the Du Family will definitely not let you off... Ms. Su, Mr. Lin, you must prepare in advance."
"The Du Family?" Upon hearing this, Su Wanqiao's beautiful eyes suddenly knitted.
Being a local of Shanghai, how could Su Wanqiao not be aware of the Du Family's reputation?
This was a super underground family established a century ago.
Dong Yongping nodded, conveying to Su Wanqiao everything about the encounter with the Crown Prince of the Du Family the previous night, who suddenly sought him out claiming they wanted to partner against the Su Family... he told her everything without holding back.
Dong Yongping also had a bit of a scheme, fearing that if he had spoken up too soon, Su Wanqiao would refuse his cooperation agreement. Therefore, after signing the agreement of surrender, he then disclosed the matter of the Du Family.
Upon hearing this, Su Wanqiao's beautiful eyes grew troubled, extremely grave.
She hadn't expected... that even the Du Family would get involved?
If the Du Family got involved, then the matter would become serious.
"Is the Du Family that powerful?" Lin Shuang asked skeptically.
Dong Yongping nodded gravely, "The Du Family has a century of legacy... A hundred years ago, they were descendants of Shanghai Beach's Qing Gang Du Yuexiao... With a century of heritage, the Du Family's strength is unfathomable... but now, they have retired from the underworld and have not made a move in years... "
Dong Yongping explained the origins of the Du Family.
"Oh? The descendants of the former Du Yuexiao? I didn't expect that one of the four big tycoons of Qing Gang from those days would still have descendants. Interesting," Lin Shuang said, corners of his mouth lifting slightly, with a cigarette dangling.
He certainly didn't know about the Du Family, but he knew a bit about Du Yuexiao.
After all, he was one of the four powerful individuals on Shanghai Beach a century ago, frequently appearing in the underworld drama series over the years.
"Mr. Lin, now that I have pledged to you, this means breaking the agreement with the Du Family, and the Crown Prince will definitely not let me off. Mr. Lin, you have to protect me!" Dong Yongping pleaded!
Lin Shuang patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, little Dong, with me here, whatever Du Family, Wang Family, comes one, kill one, don't be afraid."
Su Wanqiao, listening by his side, her eyes deepened, and she cautioned, "The Du Family is not so easy to handle."
Lin Shuang responded coolly, "Don't panic, I have a trump card."
Dong Yongping's expression grew intense! He had bet right! Lin Shuang indeed had a big trump card behind him!
"Mr. Lin, a few days ago... when Deputy City Lord Gao Yuan was taken down, was it your trump card who made the move?" Dong Yongping asked.
Su Wanqiao, too, was intently watching him, "What is your trump card?"
