My Ares Son-in-Law

Wang Xiong gritted his teeth, suppressed the discomfort and uneasiness in his heart, and said with a hint of reluctance in his voice: "Okay, Mr. Bai, I understand, I will follow your instructions."

Although he also works for the Shadow King, he is just an insignificant minion in the Shadow King's huge and complex power network and may be sacrificed or forgotten at any time.

Bai Maogong was the overlord of the business community in the eastern region. His anger and dissatisfaction were enough to destroy Wang Xiong's career in an instant. Therefore, Wang Xiong knew that he could not afford to offend Bai Maogong and could only obey him obediently.

Thinking of this, a hint of determination and greed flashed in Wang Xiong's eyes.

He understood that although this mission was full of risks and uncertainties, as long as he could successfully force Lin Youya into a desperate situation and make her a chess piece in his hands.

Then, under the dual protection of Shadow King and Bai Maogong, he might also be able to gain some special benefits, such as more power, higher status, or even unimaginable wealth.

Hearing Wang Xiong's decisive answer, Bai Maogong laughed in a low and satisfied voice on the other end of the phone. The voice seemed to contain infinite meaning and calculation:

"If you can handle this well, you will have the final say on the future of the Lin Group. I will also spare no effort to introduce you to some promising businesses, so that the Lin Group can move to a higher level under your leadership.

After all, in this uncertain business world, we are in the same boat, and we should stick together, right, Wang Xiong?"

When Wang Xiong heard this, he couldn't help but feel ecstatic and grateful. He seemed to have seen himself in the future, making waves in the business world and gaining enormous power.

Although there was no one on the other end of the line, he still bowed repeatedly, his posture was like a servant who was respectful to his master, and his voice was full of flattery and fawning:
"Thank you, Mr. Bai! Thank you for your cultivation and trust! I will do my best to live up to your expectations and work hard to get things done beautifully!"

However, just as Wang Xiong was immersed in the fantasy of his upcoming success, Bai Maogong suddenly changed the subject, and his voice instantly became cold and sharp, like a cold wind in the cold winter, piercing people's hearts:
"However, Wang Xiong, I want to remind you that when you are doing things, you must find reliable helpers and never let those unreliable people ruin our big things. If things go wrong, you know what to do, right?"

Wang Xiong's heart tightened when he heard this, and the joy and pride that had just risen were instantly replaced by a cold chill. He understood that although Bai Maogong's words were brief, the threat and warning in them were self-evident.

If things go wrong, not only will he not be appreciated and promoted for his work, but he may face a catastrophe.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiong couldn't help but shudder, and quickly nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, Mr. Bai, I understand, I will be careful and make sure everything goes well."

Wang Xiong naturally understood the interests involved. After all, this kind of secret and cunning thing was not the first time he had done it.

Every time, he walked cautiously on the edge of a knife, fearing that one careless mistake would lead to him falling into an abyss from which there was no return.

If this matter goes wrong, with Bai Maogong's unpredictable and vicious character, he might really kill him at all costs to prevent future troubles.

Even if Bai Maogong didn't kill him directly, he would definitely find ways to put all the blame on him, making him the scapegoat and bearing all the consequences and infamy. Wang Xiong couldn't help but think of that scene:

Bai Maogong stood on a high place with an indifferent expression. With a slight wave of his finger, countless minions swarmed up and surrounded him. He could only fall to the ground helplessly, watching himself being pushed into the abyss, powerless to resist.

I instruct you to do this thing. If you do it well, I will give you a generous reward and let your position in the business world be further improved. But if you fail to do it well, I'm sorry, I don't know you at all, and I have never asked you to do this thing. All responsibilities and consequences will be borne by you alone.

Wang Xiong couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat as he thought about it, but he knew that this was inevitable. He knew that if he couldn't do it well, he would become a discarded pawn, but he still had to do it.

"Understood!" Wang Xiong responded in a low voice, with a hint of firmness and determination in his voice. He hung up the phone and held the phone tightly in his hand, as if it was his only lifeline.

Then, he began to think quietly, looking for a suitable person who could do the job for him and keep the secret.

His eyes quickly scanned in his mind those who had worked with him in the past, trying to select someone who was both loyal and intelligent enough to handle this difficult task.

The person who sets the trap must be a character who can catch Lin Youya off guard and prevent her from seeing any flaws, and he must also be someone Lin Youya trusts without a doubt.

Otherwise, with Lin Youya's keen observation and extraordinary intelligence, any slight abnormality would not escape her eyes, and she would definitely notice something was wrong immediately.

Wang Xiong sat in the dim room, frowning, lost in deep thought. He held a dying cigarette between his fingers, and in the smoke, his face looked even more gloomy and resolute.

After thinking for a full half hour, the ashtray on the table was already full of cigarette butts, and he had almost finished a whole box of cigarettes. Finally, a hint of joy flashed in Wang Xiong's eyes, as if he had found the key to solving the problem.

He thought of a person, a good friend with whom Lin Youya had a very close relationship, and they could even be said to be close friends with whom she could talk about anything - Zhang Linlin.

Zhang Linlin is not only Lin Youya's best friend, but also an indispensable part of her life. More importantly, Zhang Linlin is now the manager of a foreign bank's Haixi branch and holds considerable power, which is undoubtedly a huge boost to Wang Xiong's plan.

If he could successfully persuade Zhang Linlin to join his camp, then this matter would be much easier. After all, Lin Youya had lent a hand many times at critical moments to help Zhang Linlin through difficulties, and Zhang Linlin also showed the same deep affection to Lin Youya.

The friendship between the two was as solid as a rock, and they trusted each other to the point where they hardly doubted each other. For Wang Xiong, this kind of relationship was exactly what he needed.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiong couldn't help but reveal a grim smile on his face, a smile that was full of confidence in the victory that was about to be achieved.

He seemed to have seen the scene where Lin Youya, with Zhang Linlin's "help", stepped step by step into the trap he had carefully laid out, and was eventually unable to extricate herself. (End of this chapter)
