"...If that's all you want to say, then I'll take my leave first." Li Ke frowned, got up, and looked like he was about to leave immediately.

Seeing Li Ke's reaction, Lin Gerui also understood that it was pointless to continue probing, and it was almost time to accept it.

He turned over and got off the chair, made a 'please' gesture to Li Ke, and said, "Then, please come with me."

"There is a basement under this house, and the reward you should get is placed there."

Hearing this, Li Ke stopped and left, paused, and then said to Lin Gerui, "Then let's go."

-------------------------------------

As time passed, the sun that was originally high above the head had slipped quietly to the west, half of which was covered by the low houses. It won't be long before there is no sunlight in this alley.

"Dad... I'm back."

Lin Yuxia gently pushed open the door and slipped in through the crack.

At this time Li Ke had already left, leaving only Lin Gerui in the house.

"Come back, Yuxia."

Lying on the grand teacher's chair, Lin Gerui was in the afterglow of the setting sun, with his eyes half closed.

Like an old man who couldn't resist sleepiness, Lin Gerui no longer lost his usual power and drowsiness.Of course, only in front of his daughter can Lin Gerui show his old age.

Seeing Lin Gerui like this, Lin Yuxia couldn't help but stepped forward, and asked with some concern, "Dad, are you okay?"

"It's nothing... just feeling a little tired." Lin Gerui propped himself up from the teacher's chair, opened his eyes and said, "Sure enough, I'm still old..."

Sighing, Lin Gerui couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Just negotiating with a young man without gunpowder smoke made his body feel a little overwhelmed.

Now, if he returns to the battlefield again, how many people can he cut down?

Even the Originium skill that used to be like a finger, gave him a strange feeling when he crushed those Sicilians who didn't know what to do or what to do a few days ago.

All kinds of distracting thoughts in his mind disappeared in a flash, and Lin Gerui asked, "What happened to the girl of Shi Huaiya's family?"

"Shi Huaiya is fine, she was just a little hit. After I sent her to the Guard Bureau, I left. It's just..." Lin Yuxia hesitated for a while, and then told her about Shi Huaiya's previous decision Father, "Shi Huaiya is going to resign from the Guard Bureau and return to her family."

"She wants to change all this from within the family."

"That girl is a bit courageous." After hearing his daughter's description, Lin Gerui said calmly, without even raising his eyelids.

Lin Gerui himself didn't have too much expectation for Shi Huaiya, so after learning about her decision, he was not disappointed at all.

In Lin Gerui's eyes, the difficult decision Shi Huaiya made was just that.

She has been away from the core of the family for such a long time, and if she returns to the family this time, whether she can return to the position of heir is still a big question mark, let alone change the entire Sweiyar consortium from within.

Even if Shi Huaiya can get away with it, she won't be of much use in a short period of time. At most, she can be regarded as a casual chess set by Lin Gerui...

They are still too young after all.

In the eyes of these war-baptized old people, these children are still very immature.Even Lin Yuxia, who is the most outstanding among several people, in Lin Gerui's eyes, is still far from being qualified enough to take over his job.

Thinking about it, Lin Gerui suddenly noticed that the daughter standing beside her looked hesitant to say something.

So, he asked, "Yuxia, is there anything else you want to say?"

"I..." Under Lin Gerui's questioning gaze, Lin Yuxia only spoke one word, but couldn't say the rest.

Seeing his daughter's troubled appearance, Lin Gerui couldn't help shaking his head slightly, "Speak out, I won't blame you."

"It's rare to come back once. If you want anything, I will try my best to satisfy you."

Under her father's encouragement, Lin Yuxia finally bit her lips and said softly, "Dad...I want to help her..."

However, as soon as she said this sentence, Lin Yuxia regretted it a little.

The "she" that Lin Yuxia mentioned just now refers to Shi Huaiya.

When Shi Huaiya asked her for help, Lin Yuxia had such an idea in her heart. When she finally came back, Lin Yuxia struggled all the way, and couldn't decide whether to tell her father about this idea.

Sure enough, after hearing Lin Yuxia's request, Lin Gerui fell into silence. He silently watched his daughter, wondering what was going on in his mind.

It sounds simple to help Shi Huaiya, but if you really do that...you will undoubtedly betray Lin Gerui's expectations of her.

After finishing speaking, Lin Yuxia also realized how ridiculous what she just said was.Father wanted her to take over his position and become the new Mouse King of Longmen. How could she let her temperament do such a thing...

So, Lin Yuxia changed her words and said, "I'm sorry, father, I was wrong. I shouldn't have thought like that just now... I will..."

She shouldn't have said that thought with one millionth expectation.

"No... Yuxia."

However, when Lin Yuxia bowed her head to apologize, Lin Gerui stretched out his withered arm, touched her head, and interrupted her, "You are not wrong."

As Lin Gerui's only daughter, Lin Yuxia was born destined to inherit Lin Gerui's position and become the new rat king of Longmen.

Shu Wang, the king of the slums, the second emperor of Longmen, sounds majestic, quite the meaning of being inferior to one person and above ten thousand people.

But... No matter how powerful the Mouse King is, he is nothing but a creature that lives in the shadows and never sees the sun.If Lin Gerui could really choose, who would want his daughter to take over this position?

Lin Gerui had no choice in the past, so she pushed Lin Yuxia onto the current path step by step.But now, the appearance of a certain person gave him new hope.

So, Lin Gerui rubbed Lin Yuxia's head, and under her disbelieving eyes, said softly, "If you really want to help your friend, then go for it."
