C193 Personal Butler You must Listen to Me

Lin Dong was puzzled.

Looking up at Hsu Ziyan, he began, "Then you must be aware that I'm not a direct descendant of Lin Zhenqiang."

The issue of lineage was Lin Dong's Achilles' heel.

Though he shared the Lin surname, there was no blood connection between him and Lin Zhenqiang.

Lin Dong was in the dark about the whole situation and hoped to get some clarity from Hsu Ziyan.

Hsu Ziyan appeared to have anticipated his question.

With a smile, she explained, "You're certainly not Mr. Lin Zhenqiang's direct descendant. However, your grandfather and Mr. Lin Zhenqiang were brothers. Separated in their youth, Mr. Lin Zhenqiang has recently found you and has even met with you.

Remember the man you encountered while smashing golden eggs at the entrance of Jiangyang University? That was him!

Also, the shares in Haorui KTV, the luxury villa, and the one hundred million in cash were all prepared for you in advance, following Mr. Lin Zhenqiang's instructions."

"That old man!" Lin Dong exclaimed, almost in disbelief.

So that's where the system reward came from!

The inconspicuous old man at the golden egg stall was actually an NPC meticulously placed by the system!

Damn!

At the time, Lin Dong had suspected the old man was a con artist.

Hsu Ziyan was quite pleased with Lin Dong's astonished reaction.

After all, Lin Dong was just a young man in his twenties. Even the most composed would be thrown off by such intricately woven revelations.

With Lin Dong emotionally stirred, Hsu Ziyan found her opportunity to intervene.

She continued, "Mr. Lin Zhenqiang's will was entrusted to his personal lawyer. However, it eventually ended up in the hands of the Lin Family's higher-ups. I'm not sure how many are aware of its contents, but you are in considerable danger.

My original task was to develop your abilities and, at the appropriate moment, reveal the entire truth to you, so you could inherit Mr. Lin Zhenqiang's assets worth thirty billion yuan.

But given the current circumstances, I've had to reveal myself.

From this moment on, I am your personal butler. If you wish to survive, you'll need to follow my lead."

"In essence, I'll be managing all your affairs. You'll need to follow my instructions on what to do and what not to do," Hsu Ziyan stated, her finger pointedly directed at Lin Dong.

Lin Dong, having just snapped out of his initial shock, listened to Hsu Ziyan's explanation and grasped why she had sought him out. He now understood the purpose behind the note she had given him and her subsequent phone call. Yet, Lin Dong harbored different thoughts.

Facing Hsu Ziyan, he expressed, "I understand what you're saying, but I'm not fond of someone else controlling my life. I value my freedom."

At this, Hsu Ziyan's brow furrowed slightly.

"You're in grave danger at the moment," she said, her gaze fixed on Lin Dong. "Plus, you're completely unaware of the Lin Family's background. If you don't heed my advice now, you could be at risk at any moment."

Lin Dong shook his head firmly. "I may not be familiar with the Lin Family, but I refuse to be a marionette, pulled by strings."

"Very well," Hsu Ziyan conceded, reclining gracefully in her chair and regarding Lin Dong with a composed demeanor. "I'm not discussing this with you to seek your agreement, but rather to make it clear that you will act on my orders. As your agent, and to fulfill Mr. Liu Zhenqiang's mission, you must obey me. Otherwise, I will resort to more coercive methods. For instance, I could confine you until the issue at hand is resolved by me."
