Wishes Fulfilled

Su Ming gazed at Wan Tong with an enigmatic half-smile.

Wan Tong's words were intriguing. Was he hinting at submission to Su Ming?

To be honest, that was precisely Wan Tong's intention.

He had already witnessed Su Ming's terrifying prowess. On the way here, he had been pondering a critical issue: Wan Hua had reached its peak and needed external assistance to break through.

Although Wan Hua had suffered significant losses this time, it also presented a unique opportunity. The information they had on Su Ming was scarce, but it was evident that his influence was formidable. If they could harness Su Ming's power, Wan Hua might effortlessly achieve the breakthrough they desperately needed.

Thus, when Su Ming proposed taking 40% of the shares, Wan Tong hesitated only briefly before agreeing. And now, after Su Ming stated his demands, Wan Tong decided to lay his cards on the table.

Su Ming remained silent, and Wan Tong cautiously glanced up, meeting Su Ming's inscrutable half-smile. Wan Tong's mind immediately began to race.

"Master Su, I dare to hope you won't take offense, but I assure you, every word I've spoken comes from the depths of my heart!"

*Ping! Choice triggered!*

*Option 1: Accept Wan Tong's submission. Reward: Resolve all issues stemming from Wan Hua's plummeting market value.*

*Option 2: Reject Wan Tong's submission. Reward: 300 million in cash.*

Su Ming's smile faded as he chose option one. While 300 million was substantial, he had already decided to align Wan Hua with Hong Da's development. Their fates were now intertwined. Moreover, Wan Hua's market value had sharply declined recently, and many old rivals were likely making moves. Although Wan Hua could manage, the cost would be steep.

With Su Ming holding 40% of Wan Hua's shares, their fortunes were linked. Choosing option one was undoubtedly the wisest decision.

After making his choice, Su Ming spoke, "Since you are sincere, I will accept your loyalty."

"Thank you, Master Su!" Wan Tong was elated.

"Very well, you may go. Send someone to Hong Da immediately to coordinate with Yixue."

"Oh, and since you are now under my wing, I will handle the troubles Wan Hua has faced recently," Su Ming added casually.

"Yes, thank you, Master Su!"

Wan Tong was overjoyed. The sharp decline in Hong Da's market value had indeed spawned numerous issues. While they could manage, it would be cumbersome and might lead to further complications. With Su Ming's assurance, Wan Tong felt a great burden lifted.

"Master Su, I will take my son and leave now!"

Su Ming waved his hand, and Wan Tong hurriedly departed, dragging along Wan Jing, who had remained silent throughout.

Outside the villa, Wan Tong emerged with a broad smile, while Wan Jing trailed behind, looking crestfallen.

"Big brother, how did it go?"

Wan Gu, soaked like a drowned rat, saw Wan Tong's beaming face and couldn't help but ask.

"Haha... It's done. Our family has turned misfortune into fortune. From now on, Wan Hua will be Master Su's vanguard!"

Wan Tong laughed heartily.

"What? Is it true?"

"Haha... That means we can finally break through the ceiling we've been stuck under for so long!"

"Yeah!"

The senior members of the Wan family were as jubilant as children receiving candy.

Lin Tianhao and Lin Tiancheng, who had been observing the scene, were stunned. These people were actually this thrilled about becoming someone's vanguard? They were prominent figures in the capital!

Was this the same Wan Hua they had been trying to ingratiate themselves with?

Lin Tianhao and Lin Tiancheng exchanged a glance, both seeing boundless regret in each other's eyes. At that moment, they thought of their previous actions and wished they could end their lives with a brick.

A golden opportunity, a company they had desperately sought to align with, was now ecstatic because of the person they had dismissed. And they had destroyed their own chances.

"One day, she will be out of your reach."

Su Ming's words from the past echoed in their ears.

"Tiancheng, do you think... there's any hope for reconciliation?" Lin Tianhao closed his eyes, letting the rain beat against his face.

"Big brother... Sigh..."

Lin Tiancheng sighed. This wasn't a grudge of just a few days; Lin Yixue had fallen out with Lin Tianhao years ago, and the situation had only worsened.

Reconciliation? It was like trying to resurrect the dead or fight fate.

"Let's go, let's go."

Lin Tianhao lowered his head, rain and tears mixing as he walked away, his back appearing desolate.

"Sigh..."

Lin Tiancheng sighed deeply, took one last look at the villa, and followed Lin Tianhao.

Soon, the joyous Wan family left, and the villa's gate automatically closed. Inside and outside the villa, it seemed like two different worlds.

Inside the villa, Lin Yixue had regained her composure. The long-standing pressure had completely dissipated. Suddenly, she turned and embraced Su Ming.

Su Ming was taken aback, and then he heard Lin Yixue's trembling voice in his ear.

"Kiss me!"

Su Ming's lips curled. He could feel that something he had long anticipated was about to happen. In the next moment, he transformed into a wild wolf and kissed Lin Yixue passionately.

A passionate encounter began.

...

Time flew by, and the rain had stopped by dusk. Su Ming and Lin Yixue, having freshened up, walked out of the villa hand in hand. Oddly, Lin Yixue's gait was slightly unnatural.

"Yixue, tomorrow we'll go to Hong Da and meet their leader. Then, I'll get you the position of president and transfer the shares."

As they walked slowly, Su Ming spoke.

"Mm, thank you, Su Ming!"

Lin Yixue squeezed Su Ming's hand, feeling infinitely grateful. But Su Ming suddenly changed from serious to extremely lewd.

"Is this how you thank me?"

"How should I thank you then?" Lin Yixue frowned.

"Hehe... How about we try some new positions?" Su Ming smirked and asked tentatively.

"Eek!"

"You pervert, Su Ming! I... I need a few days to rest!" Lin Yixue exclaimed, her cheeks flushing red.

Su Ming's eyes lit up. "So, you don't mind trying more positions, right?"

"I... I didn't say that! You're so annoying!"

With that, Lin Yixue let go of Su Ming's hand and hurried ahead, head down.

"Hehe... Wait for me!"

Su Ming grinned and chased after her. Their shadows stretched long in the setting sun, like an endless stretch of happiness.
