Chapter 2072: Chapter 2072: That Old Madam, Surnad Ding
“Because originally the reason I had saved the City Lord and his wife was very likely because Lu Tiankuo had sent soone to assassinate them,” Lin Baizhong explained.
“Of course, this is just speculation. Lu Tiankuo acts ticulously, without exposing any mistakes. That assassination attempt also wasn’t confird as his doing, but the City Lord had already confird it was him.
Since there was no evidence, and because Lu Tiankuo is the biological son of the Old Madam in the City Lord’s Mansion, it wasn’t easy for the City Lord to act against him directly. So, slowly, bit by bit, he eliminated the forces under his command.
Up till now, he had almost completely removed them.”
“Has it really been almost completely removed?” asked Sui Zimo.
Hearing this, Lin Baizhong chuckled softly, giving a aningful look at his son-in-law.
“At least, in the City Lord’s eyes, he has already mostly eliminated the forces around his ambitious brother,” he said.
“That ans none.”
Lin Caisang said with an understanding face.
“These forces, both obvious and hidden, the visible forces even if removed extensively, are useless. It’s those nurtured in the dark that count when it really matters; those are the most useful.”
Lin Baizhong sighed and said,
“Over the years, I have also investigated so matters regarding Lu Tiankuo. In Sky City, he isn’t a person who acts very ticulously or thinks very deeply. Hence, the people around him aren’t very influential either.
However, even such a person is soone the City Lord has tried and failed to catch. This piqued my curiosity.”
“Is it because of Lu Tiankuo’s birth mother?” Lin Caisang suggested.
Having a mother as the Old Madam in the City Lord’s Mansion, what can’t Lu Tiankuo do?
However, she really couldn’t imagine, if Lu Tiankuo aspires for the position of the City Lord, why, even with his mother’s help, he hasn’t obtained the position of City Lord of Sky City?
“Yes,” Lin Baizhong nodded.
“The Old Madam of Sky City is not an ordinary woman. If you et her later, you will understand, and another thing…”
He purposefully lifted his head and glanced at his beloved daughter.
“The Old Madam’s last na is Ding.”
“Uh… cough, cough.”
Lin Caisang really choked on her own saliva.
To be pointed out by her father that the Old Madam’s surna is Ding, clearly showed that she was related to that Ding Rong in her realm.
And since Ding Rong also calls the City Lord’s wife aunt, that ans she has a special relationship with the City Lord’s wife.
“The interpersonal relationships in Sky City are indeed very intricate.”
“Sangsang, if you truly decide to head to Illusion Continent, then it’s best to be prepared,” Lin Baizhong reminded them.
“Okay, I understand,” Lin Caisang nodded and then turned to look at Sui Zimo.
…
Inside the Golden Pearl space, after Sui Zimo had seen Lin Baizhong and Liu Yuyang off, he accompanied Lin Caisang into the Golden Pearl space.
At this point, in the herbal garden space, Ding Rong was busy.
After being bullied by the Golden Pearl Command a few tis, she no longer dared to speak carelessly and tried to make herself appear mute when alone.
“Why have you co in?”
Seeing Lin Caisang and Sui Zimo, Ding Rong glanced at them irritably and asked.
Lin Caisang: “…”
She side-eyed the herbs planted in the herbal garden space, then looked back at Ding Rong.
“Isn’t this place mine?” she asked.
