Seeing Wang Mian’s call, Sun Manlou instantly became nervous.
He looked at the time on the watch again. It was already 9:20, way past the agreed time.
“Young Master Wang,” Sun Manlou said with difficulty.
“You know what time it is.”
“There was an accident. I’ll come look for you now.”
“That won’t be necessary. I’m downstairs in the Shangri-La. You can just come down.”
“Got it, cough, cough, cough...”
“Huh? What’s wrong?”
On the phone, Wang Mian could tell that something was wrong. Under normal circumstances, Sun Manlou wouldn’t be in this state.
“I met a ruthless person and fell to him.”
“Even you fell?”
Wang Mian was surprised.
He knew Sun Manlou’s level very well. He had already reached C-class. Even Wang Mian might not beat him. In a place like the Northeast, how could he fall to anyone else?
“How many people were there?”
“Just one.”
Hearing this reply, Wang Mian was even more surprised. His heart could not help but beat faster.
He subdued Sun Manlou alone.
That meant he was at least C-class!
“The other party is...”
“Young Master.”
Wang Mian was about to ask when Lina suddenly stopped him.
“Look at the hotel entrance.”
Wang Mian looked over and his eyes widened as he saw Lin Yi walking out of the hotel!
Seeing Lin Yi here was something he never dreamed of!
Suddenly, he understood what was going on!
Unless he was wrong, Lin Yi should be the one who fought with Sun Manlou!
This meant that in just a few months, he had gained the strength to defeat Sun Manlou. It was really impressive.
Wang Mian spoke calmly, as if he was narrating an ordinary matter.
How his words would be interpreted was Sun Manlou’s business. It had nothing to do with Wang Mian.
Sun Manlou suddenly understood. “So that’s how it is!”
“Sun Manlou, oh Sun Manlou...” Wang Mian sighed.
“The Wang family has supported you for so many years, but in the end, you’ve actually become like this. All these years, have you only ever bullied the weak but feared the strong? Could it be that even a slightly more powerful figure could destroy you? Did the Wang family put you in the northeast just for show?”
“No!”
Su Manlou’s heart raced. Wang Mian was undoubtedly the future successor of the Wang family.
If Su Manlou did not leave a good impression on him, his future status would be at risk!
At the thought of this, cold sweat flowed down Sun Manlou’s forehead.
After so many years, he had already stabilized his position as the King of the Northeast.
However, only he knew how things had ended up like this.
If not for the support of the Wang family, they would never have come to this point.
If the Wang family could support him in his rise to this position, they had the ability to replace him!
Whether or not he could retain this position depended solely on how useful he was!
“Alright, you can leave. You don’t have to come with me tonight,” Wang Mian said coldly.
“But this...”
“Out!”
“Got it, Young Master Wang!”
Sun Manlou opened the car door and got out. He didn’t dare to stay any longer. In the cold wind, he watched Wang Mian leave.
“Young Master, do you really want to attack Lin Yi? Do you need me to help you?” Lina said.
“Attack?” Wang Mian smiled and said.
“When did I say I was going to attack Lin Yi?”
“Are you going to frame Sun Manlou for this?”
Wang Mian nodded. “Although I want to kill Lin Yi, he has the Liang family backing him up, and he has a good reputation at the national level. If the Wang family secretly makes a move on him, we won’t be able to shed ourselves of the blame. The Liang family will definitely pounce on us then, so it’s best to leave this matter to Sun Manlou.”
“But some people know about his relationship with the Wang family.”
“So what if they do? I didn’t ask him to do it. He took the initiative himself.” Wang Mian said.
“Moreover, if Sun Manlou successfully pulls this off, you can go over and secretly kill him to silence him. There will be no evidence tying us to this matter. Even if you want to pin the blame on the Wang family, they won’t be able to do so.”
“But with Sun Manlou’s ability, does he really have the ability to kill Lin Yi? I doubt that. We can’t underestimate Lin Yi’s ability.” Lina raised her concern.
“It’s impossible. Lin Yi is an admirable opponent. In terms of intelligence, Su Manlou is far inferior to Lin Yi.” Wang Mian said.
“However, as long as he can cripple Lin Yi in one of his arms and legs, I will have successfully vented my anger..”
