The Bravest

Chapter 208 The Lin Family’s Hidden Concerns

The team gathered on the playground immediately quieted down when they heard Lin Jie's order.

"Stand at attention and take a rest. I appoint you as non-staff members of the Inspection Team of the Huangpu Branch of the Shanghai Police Department. You will be under the direct supervision of Secretary Liu. Now, please allow Secretary Liu of the police department to give you a lecture."

"Hello everyone, my name is Liu Ruyan, and I'm Director Lin's confidential secretary." Liu Ruyan stopped here. She wanted to see the reactions of these boys and girls.

"Hello, Secretary Liu." The two team leaders immediately responded to Liu Ruyan, and the others followed suit, demonstrating strong discipline.

"Very good, you are very good. Let me tell you, although Secretary Liu is young, she has participated in many operations and even shot and killed bad guys with her own hands."

Lin Jie saw that although these guys were very disciplined, their eyes were full of doubt, so he immediately spoke up to support Liu Ruyan.

"Wow, my sister-in-law is so awesome!" Zhang Huahua opened her mouth wide and shouted exaggeratedly.

"Of course. How could my brother like me if I wasn't amazing?"

"that is…"

……

In one afternoon, with the help of Lin Jie, Liu Ruyan became familiar with these twenty people and had dinner with them at the welfare home in the evening.

These twenty people are still living in the welfare home for the time being, and Lin Jie will make arrangements for them in a few days.

After dinner, Lin Jie took Liu Ruyan away. As soon as the car drove out of the welfare home, Liu Ruyan couldn't wait to ask her questions.

"Lin Jie, why do we have to wait a few days? Since you arranged for them to come out to do this, it is impossible that they did not prepare in advance. Is there something else going on here?"

"Haha, I see. If you were Liu Sheng, what would you do now?"

"You handed over Liu Sheng's men to me. You must be unhappy. Didn't I tell you that at the time? Oh, you two are acting, right?"

Liu Ruyan had a flash of inspiration and guessed Lin Jie's trick. But she soon felt something was wrong.

"That's not right? I've already guessed it, who else can you fool?"

"Whether you can lie or not depends on you." Lin Jie glanced at Liu Ruyan and smiled happily.

"Look at me again, let me think... Why did you fall out with Liu Sheng? Oh, I see, am I Daji or Baosi? Hehe, my king, will you really pamper me so much?"

Liu Ruyan suddenly reached out and touched Lin Jie's face with a smile, then let out a silver bell-like laugh.

"What are you thinking? I'm not the king, and you're not the concubine. You're just an ambitious woman, a bad woman who climbed up the ladder by relying on Lin Jie's favor and stepping on her old brothers. Do you understand?"

"I'm not a bad woman!" Liu Ruyan protested with a pout.

"As for acting, if you can't do it, then let Zhou Zhou do it. She's actually more suitable!"

Lin Jie originally wanted to use Zhou Zhou to provoke Liu Ruyan, but he went too far and Liu Ruyan's originally cute and lovely look suddenly wilted.

"You just can't bear to let her go. You can't bear to let her be tainted by anything bad. Is she so perfect in your heart?"

"Oh my, what are you talking about again? I'm just trying to provoke you! You are now my great warrior, you can handle affairs of state, go into the kitchen, and even charge into battle! Who can compare to you?"

Lin Jie quickly praised her and brought Liu Ruyan back to her senses.

"Hey, is there anything else? Keep talking."

"Ahem, and I can take it out and into the bedroom..."

"Pah, who wants to enter your bedroom? Let's talk business!"

Liu Ruyan's face turned red. Although this was the truth, she didn't feel comfortable saying it out loud.

"Ahem, let's get down to business. Do you know what to do?"

"Tsk, this isn't that simple. You say one thing in public and another behind people's backs. But what if your brothers don't cooperate? Will you come out to suppress them? Will it become real?"

Liu Ruyan asked Lin Jie worriedly.

"It's good that it came true. People's hearts are hidden. This just happens to show me how many loyal brothers I have." Lin Jie looked indifferent.

"Ah, then your foundation will be destroyed? I might also be attacked by your best friend. It's better to be cautious. Or you can reconsider it."

"Don't think about it. The plan has already started. You are a temporary replacement. I am optimistic about you. Don't let me down."

"Ah, who did I change, Zhou Zhou?"

"Michiko."

"Why? She is Japanese. You dare to trust her? You are worse than Zhou Zhou!"

Liu Ruyan did not favor either of them this time. She knew that what Lin Jie was willing to do at the risk of damaging his foundation must be very important, so she did not ask Lin Jie what it was.

"Liu Sheng and the others said the same thing. So as the eldest brother, I can't make all the decisions on my own."

"You men think things are really complicated, what about me? Did Liu Sheng and the others agree?"

"Haha, if you hadn't fired the gun that night, you would have been nothing but a vase in their eyes!"

Seeing that Liu Ruyan didn't say anything, Lin Jie drove the car to a secluded place and stopped. He looked at Liu Ruyan seriously and explained everything to her for the first time.

"Ruyan, I'm telling you the truth. Apart from me, Liu Sheng listens to Haitang, Liu Yidao listens to Sun Yuelan, Li Jing listens to Ye Wulian, and Michiko also has her own faction. What do you think you have?"

"Lin Jie, having you is enough for me..."

"What if something happens to me? What will you do? I have enemies too!"

"Lin Jie, nothing will happen to you. Please don't scare me, okay?" Liu Ruyan hugged Lin Jie's arm in panic.

Under Lin Jie's protection, she had a very smooth life. She had not been exposed to society for a long time. Although she was smart, she had little experience, so she thought many things were simple.

"Silly girl, don't be afraid. I'm just used to leaving a way out. You are my woman, and you must have what they have. Only when you have people in your hands will you not panic. You must lead these twenty people well. If you don't understand, ask me."

"Well, what's so special about these twenty people?"

"Oh, I told you that you are smart. Let me tell you, Liu Sheng's sullen face is not fake. These twenty people were not just trained. They were selected three years ago. Each of them was trained separately and secretly. They are just pretending in the past two months."

"Ah, are you saying that these are your confidants? Can I control them then?"

"These are not confidants. In ancient times, they called them death warriors. Do you understand? You don't have to control them. You just need to let them know that you represent me."

"Oh, what's the difference between the loyalists and the confidants? Are they more loyal than Liu Sheng?"

"Let me put it this way. If I die, they might still follow you, but Liu Sheng might not. He will follow Haitang and my child. That's why he has a dark face."

"Will Liu Sheng hate me?" Liu Ruyan looked at Lin Jie anxiously.

"Read more history books when you have time. The big families are actually the same as the royal family. Everything will be easy when I'm here. If I'm gone, you should take your people and hide. Don't fight. You can't win against them. I may not even know some of their manpower. If you really can't hide, just follow Haitang. She's soft-hearted."

Seeing that Lin Jie seemed to be making arrangements for his funeral, Liu Ruyan became even more worried. "How could this happen? They are all your women. If you are gone, what is there to fight for?"

"It's not them who want to fight, it's their subordinates who want to fight. They are fighting for the power I left behind, do you understand? Just like that night, when you fired the gun, how did the five men under your command react? Do you remember?"

"Remember, they were very disappointed at first, but once I shot and killed someone, they seemed to see hope. Oh, they all want to be Cao Cao? Humph, who told you to marry so many wives? Wouldn't it be okay to just marry one?"

"Then there's no you."

"I'm not your wife."
