ons finally eased somewhat.The ripples followed the etiquette, bowing to both elders before presenting her "handmade" socks and embroidered sachets as a filial gesture from a new daughter-in-law. The..."Zeng Hongliang is ambitious, as we all know. This time, although he proposed to cooperate with me, I also privately found out some information and made two preparations. I just didn't expect you to give me a surprise."

A network of wrinkles etched across Lao Dan's face, and a cryptic smile played upon his lips, indicating that he hadn't come unarmed.

"Is that so I'm the same way. As early as when Zeng Hongliang wanted to take all the credit for himself and betray me, I made preparations. If he had even a shred of respect for the eight years we worked together, I wouldn't have gone this far."

The ripples swept around Lao Dan's boat, revealing that the three of them were surrounded. It was clear that Lao Dan would resolve things by force if the two sides failed to reach an agreement.

At this moment, the sounds of the road came through the miniature earphones of Lian Ri, Shi Zi, and Gong Fan:

I have locked onto your positions, Xuansi can provide remote support. Tell me the target.

"Lao Dan"

Liàn Yī directly said those two words, and intentionally paused for a moment before continuing:

"Now Zeng Hongliang is no longer an obstacle between us, and I'm not as greedy as him. We can all make money together."

"I'm still just a kid, only helping out with the grunt work. I'm not even close to being the boss!"

"Young people, you should know how to fight for your opportunities."

Ripple spoke with veiled meaning, then snapped her fingers. In an instant, Lao Dan was sent flying backward, his screams echoing across the ship. The next moment, every gun was trained on Ripple and her companions.

Ripples remained steadily seated in her chair. Lion couldn't, and had to pull open his shirt. A brand new model of explosives was resting on his chest, instantly stunning the people across from him.

"Watch your own guns, and don't fire them accidentally, or we'll all end up dead."

Daning rushed over in a single stride, lifting his father who was lying in a pool of blood. He realized the other's shoulder had been pierced and only then did he turn back to look at Ripples, who smiled and said:

"I've created the opportunity, now it's up to you whether you can rise to the top. After all, according to the rules, you are Dan Lao's only heir."ial, otherwise you wouldn't have someone speak on your behalf. So, I'll listen.
