Trillionaire's Slice of Life-Chapter 1212 - 758: Bearing the Guilt of Possessing a Jade

The people in front of her were trillionaires, and with the Lin family of Capital City’s mere hundred billion fortune, just a bit of targeting from them could make the life of the entire Lin family a living hell.

For this reason, Lin Weier didn’t dare to sell the pill to just anyone; she could only use Mr. Chu of Modu as a shield, hoping that these people in front of her would take the hint and back off.

“Hahaha, Mr. Charled, and Old Yan, I think you should stop troubling these two young ladies,”

At this moment, another hearty laugh resounded in the hall, and soon afterward, an elderly man with graying hair also approached from the front row.

This person was none other than Wu Tongda, the Family Head of one of the eight great families of Hua Country, the Wu family from the northwest.

As the Family Head of the powerful Wu family, one of the eight great families, Wu Tongda’s status and position were amongst the highest in Hua Country, and with a family fortune close to a trillion, only someone like him could speak and laugh freely in the presence of two billionaire tycoons.

Now, Wu Tongda took slow steps forward, and upon reaching the back of the hall, the kind-looking elder eyed the two Lin sisters and said with a smile:

“I have a nephew-uncle relationship with your father, Lin Weicai. He has to call me ‘Uncle Wu’ when he sees me, and there has been some business between our Lin family and the Wu family.

We are close families, and regarding today’s matter, grandfather will help you sort it out, ensuring that your Lin family will not be at a disadvantage.”

The words of Wu Tongda brought an instant glint of joy to Lin Linger’s eyes. Obviously, her innocent nature led her to believe that the elder was on their side and that he would certainly lend a hand to her and her sister.

However, even though Lin Weier was smiling, there was a touch of aloofness in her eyes.

Her sister might not know, but Lin Weier was aware that there really wasn’t much of a relationship between the Wu family head and the Lin family, and if anything, they were far from being partners; in fact, they were in a competitive relationship in some neighboring areas.

The Wu family, being one of the eight great families, was large and had extensive business interests. They had once forced the Lin family to make concessions on core interests, and during several conflicts with the Wu family, they, the Lin family, had suffered considerable losses, conservatively estimated to be several billion.

And now, Wu Tongda shamelessly stepped forward to claim credit. On the surface, he stood by the Lin sisters, but Lin Weier knew all too well that Wu Tongda was the kind of person who devoured others without spitting out the bones.

If she naively believed he would help them and entrusted him with the number two Longevity Pill, Lin Weier was certain this man would dare to appropriate it for himself, leaving the Lin family with nothing in the end.

However, even though she was aware of his ulterior motives, Lin Weier also knew she absolutely couldn’t fall out with him under these circumstances, or else it wouldn’t just be her own downfall—her entire Lin family could face full-scale retaliation from the Wu family of the northwest.

She took a deep breath, forced down the discomfort in her heart, and said with a smiling face:

“Thank you for your understanding, Grandfather Wu.”

“Little Lin child, how about this: I’ll take care of this number two Longevity Pill for you. After some time has passed and when things have quieted down, I’ll return the pill to your father. In this way, we can avoid some unnecessary trouble and ensure your Lin family won’t have to worry!”

The kindly smiling Wu Tongda finished speaking and suddenly reached out his hand towards the wooden box in Lin Weier’s hand. Just as he was about to seize the wooden box containing the number two Longevity Pill, the quick-witted Lin Weier swiftly stepped back.

Having studied Taekwondo for several years, Lin Weier’s reflexes were a fraction faster than the average person, and combined with Wu Tongda’s age that slowed his reach, his attempt fell short.
