Lin Wen nodded.

Madam Ye said coyly, "Oh, you're so naughty. You knew it all along, yet you still teased me."

The Seven Apertures Linglong Heart said, "How could I know that Madam is so profound? My strength..."

Lin Wen cut it off and asked, "What about the mad Sheriff?"

Madam Ye recalled what she had heard and laughed, "They said that there's a reckless Sheriff in Changshan County of East Qin Prefecture. He messed things up as soon as he took office, offending many people. A director from the highest council is spreading your dark secrets everywhere, trying to conspire against you. Don't worry, we got along well today. I'll just mention it to my father... I mean, my friend."

Lin Wen laughed, "Thank you, Madam Ye."

Looking at this Sheriff, who was as clear and pure as sunlight, this special big boy, Madam Ye suddenly felt that maintaining such a pure relationship was not bad. This way, she could continue to taste this youthful, dreamlike flavor.

On the contrary, the men who could sleep with her could line up from here all the way to the Imperial Capital and still loop back. She could choose whatever she wanted.

Her distant best friend had already signaled her, she had to leave.

She said softly, "My name is Ye Lingyue, nice to meet you."

Lin Wen said, "Same here, Madam Ye."

Ye Lingyue was slightly disappointed. At this time, he still hadn't called her 'Ye Qin', which was a unique intimate address for women, similar to the male 'Jun', but more intimate, and only used between the sexes.

According to her past hunting experience, it usually took a man from 'Madam Ye' to 'Ye Qin' at least an hour, at most a minute.

There were even more who were willing to call her that right away, but they were not qualified to approach her.

No matter.

She thought.

Let him call her that in the future, from morning till night, from the dining table, bathroom, hall, balcony to the bed.

Suddenly, she was filled with a long-lost motivation, the feeling of boredom was leaving her, and the world was full of charm again.

She rose gracefully, "Then, goodbye, strange Mr. Lin. Today's conversation was very pleasant, I look forward to the next time."

Lin Wen laughed, "Goodbye."

As Madam Ye's graceful figure left, a strong man came over and handed him a business card.

"This is Madam Ye's contact information and all her addresses. The back is her schedule for the next week. You can call her or go directly to her place, but don't bring anyone else, understand?"

Lin Wen nodded, and the strong man left.

After a while.

"Qin Luoshuang? Why aren't you speaking?"

Headset: "No, I'm thinking about what Ye Lingyue said."

Lin Wen asked, "How likely is it that she can help me?"

Headset: "Impossible. Her father, Elder Ye, is the leader of the conservative party and has always disapproved of his daughter's libertine lifestyle. She doesn't have much influence on him. If you're just generally breaking the law, corrupt, abusing your power, these small matters can indeed be handled. But your case is big, her father won't listen to her. However, maintaining a good relationship with her is always a good thing."

Lin Wen laughed, "Right, I still have to take action myself."

Headset: "Actually, there are many suitable people here. You can sacrifice your color a few more times, which can bring a lot of help."

Lin Wen said unhappily, "What do you take me for?"

Headset: "Sorry, it's my fault. I slapped you for this before, you can return it when you come back."

Lin Wen scratched his head, not knowing how to respond.

The headset continued, "The harvest just now was great, confirming the arrival of four elders. Among them, Elder Cheng is our ally and will definitely lean towards us."

"Elder Ye is a friendly force to us, we can strive for, but don't continue to develop a deep relationship with his daughter Ye Lingyue, which will instead provoke Elder Ye's disgust, because her husband is personally chosen by Elder Ye and is highly valued."

"Elder Wang is an adversary, not something that can be resolved with a short exchange. Elder Xu is neutral towards us, he is the key person."

Lin Wen nodded, he understood, Elder Xu was the key.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread dot com".

But then, until the banquet ended, he didn't find any other figures from Elder Xu's faction.

Lin Wen was slightly regretful, but he didn't care too much, there was always the final plan.

And this trip was rewarding enough, his notebook was filled with names, and he met many wealthy businessmen like Zhang Fatty. They could soon bring a lot of wealth to Changshan County.

But Qin Luoshuang seemed very anxious.

Lin Wen comforted, "Don't worry, at the meeting tomorrow, as soon as I stand up, Elder Xu will see my extraordinary demeanor, and I'll shake off my turtle-like aura, he will vote for me."

Qin Luoshuang forced a smile and hung up the phone.

Lin Wen returned to the hall, but there were too many people on the first floor, so he went up to the second floor. But in the stairwell of the second floor, he unexpectedly ran into someone.

"Li Yuchen, what are you doing here?"

Li Yuchen was alone, peeking around the corner of the stairs. Lin Wen's sudden voice almost scared him into jumping.

"Phew, it's Wen Jun. What are you doing here? Oh, you're here for the joint meeting."

He forced a smile, looking distracted.

"I, I just came to see, accompanying my sister."

"Oh?" Lin Wen didn't care, heading for the elevator, "Are you alone? Where's Uncle Jie and his six dwarfs?""Uncle Jie has returned to the Governor's Mansion, summoned back by Uncle Sheng."

Li Yuchen looked utterly dejected, his entire demeanor had darkened, a stark contrast to his previous optimistic and cheerful self.

Lin Wen glanced at him, noticing a dark spot in his aura. Upon closer inspection, it wasn't a sign of evil energy, but more like a heart demon.

Suddenly, a shrill scream echoed, "Young Master!"

Lin Wen turned to see a woman, a maid in black stockings and high heels, running towards them. However, her eyebrows were furrowed in anger, making Li Yuchen look like a frightened rabbit in comparison.

"Get back there now! The young lady has been waiting for you for a long time!"

"I won't!"

Li Yuchen shouted, turning to run, but the maid quickly caught up with him, grabbing his collar with one hand and raising her other hand to slap him, "This is a lesson on behalf of the young lady!"

The wind from her palm was fierce, clearly beyond the level of a simple lesson.

Lin Wen grabbed her wrist, "Why are you hitting him?"

The maid gave him a cold look, "Who are you?"

"His brother."

The maid scoffed, attempting to kick him, but her movements were much slower than Qin Luoshuang's. Lin Wen caught her ankle with one hand and pressed her neck with the other, easily pinning her to the ground.

The maid's face turned beet red as she yelled, "You're that madman Lin Wen from Changshan County? You're going to die a horrible death, do you know that? You dare to bewitch the young master, your crime is even greater!"

Lin Wen sneered, "Li Yuchen, I see it now. She is your heart demon. If you step on her now, you can break free from it."

Li Yuchen stood frozen in place.

Lin Wen coldly said, "Trust me and step on her. I'll give you three seconds, or I'll let go."

The maid struggled wildly on the ground, but couldn't escape Lin Wen's hold. She screamed, "You dare? I'm the head maid of the young lady! She will punish you! She will..."

Li Yuchen stepped on her face, cutting off her words.

The maid's eyes were filled with venomous hatred, but a glimmer of light returned to Li Yuchen's face.

Lin Wen had noticed that the maid's aura was mostly dark, likely a young woman similar to a nanny, but even a nanny wasn't as bad as her, at least they were kinder.

Although her martial power was negligible in Lin Wen's eyes, it was far beyond that of an ordinary person.

The slap she had attempted earlier was not held back at all. It could have left Li Yuchen unable to eat for three days. It wasn't a lesson a maid would give to a young master, but more like a family dispute.

His sister definitely had issues.

"Good, if you don't want to go back, you can stay at my place for a few days. After the meeting, you can come back to Changshan County with me."

Li Yuchen shook his head, "Thank you, but I must face my sister."

Lin Wen nodded, understanding his meaning. Family disputes had to be resolved by oneself.

"That's fine, the best way to overcome fear is to face it. Go ahead, if you're scared, just shout 'Aoligei' to boost your courage."

Li Yuchen smiled, "Wen Jun, you truly are my best brother. I'm going, Aoligei!" He weakly shouted, lacking any momentum, but still turned and walked towards the depths of the second floor.

"As for you."

Lin Wen turned to her, tearing off her black stockings. Her expression immediately turned to one of terror, "What are you doing..."

Lin Wen used her stockings to gag her, then tied her up at the side of the staircase on the second floor.

"Ugh ugh ugh..."

Lin Wen wasn't worried. This was a gathering place for officials. It was just a pity that with her level, if she were any darker, she could be killed directly.
