Of course, Lin Jing wasn't so naive as to think that only two people knew about Old Lady Jiang's conversation with him. The Zhou family naturally had their own eyes and ears within the Literary Association. However, he was at a loss as well, because if that was the case, then Old Granny Jiang definitely knew as well.

Since she knew that the Zhou family would definitely accelerate their pace after their conversation, why did she do so? Was he really that confident that after the conversation, he would choose not to take over the business of the Zhou family? Lin Jing felt that the possibility of this happening wasn't high. There had to be another reason.

Regardless of whether it was him or Old Lady Jiang, they both knew in their hearts that the other wouldn't change their original thoughts just because of a minor incident. And Old Lady Jiang was a very cautious person, so it was even more impossible for her to take the risk before her goal was achieved.

Thus, Lin Jing was certain that Old Lady Jiang had some other secret arrangements. As he thought of this, he smiled and said to Zhou An, "This is great. Mr. Zhou, you guys have made your preparations. We can now begin our preparations. We wish you a pleasant cooperation."

A trace of surprise flashed through Zhou An's eyes. He didn't think that Lin Jing would actually agree so straightforwardly. Lin Jing had just received news that he had met with Old Lady Jiang. Earlier, the Zhou family's head had actually gone to see the old lady to discuss this matter.

However, the final result was not what the Zhou family wanted. In other words, the old lady rejected their suggestion to cooperate.

At one point, within the Zhou family, they believed that the Jiang family had secretly reached a partnership agreement with Baolinzhai, and that the two families were now on the same boat.

However, in the past, people like Old Lady Jiang would usually choose to directly kill them in the face of danger, rather than working together. However, she was, after all, someone who had gone through many storms and waves, who had controlled the entire city for dozens of years. At such a critical moment, she could make a choice that no one expected.

Not to mention that with the current development trend of the Precious Forest Academy, the probability of them being crushed to death in one go was not high. Even if it was the Zhou family, this time they were prepared to sacrifice everything and both sides would suffer.

In the long run, even though Baolinzhai was advancing bravely, he still had a long way to go before he could become a threat to the Jiang family's status in the city. At the very least, in the area of prestige, whether it was Baolin or Lin Jing, they were both far from enough. Not to mention the person behind him.

After the news of Lin Jing's identity being exposed, most people now believed that Lin Jing was in fact Lin Ming, and that the Precious Forest Temple was his property. That identity was only used to deceive people.

However, there were other sounds coming from within the Zhou Mansion. After all, this matter should not be so simple no matter how one looked at it.

They were all smart people, and there was no need to take out some obvious things, because they couldn't fool people. If he knew it was so, why should he make a fool of himself? The reason why the Zhou family was willing to pay such a high price was because they wanted to see what kind of trump card Mister Lin had.

Now that Lin Jing had agreed, Zhou An couldn't help but suspect that Lin Jing had obtained some sort of promise from Old Lady Jiang. It could even be said that both sides had already made some substantial transactions. Lin Jing definitely had some sort of life-saving trump card up his sleeve. Thinking of this, he had to make more preparations.

"Haha, Mr. Lin is a straightforward man. His decisiveness is truly admirable. I just happened to bring the contract documents over. Why don't we sign it now? " Narrowing his eyes, Zhou An stared at Lin Jing and smiled. He wanted to see if Lin Jing would dare to sign this contract.

"It's better to obey than to be respectful. Please wait for a moment, I will take out the seal." Lin Jing said with a calm expression. He turned around and walked to the back.

Looking at Lin Jing's back, Zhou An felt an inexplicable sense of apprehension. He had the feeling that at the end of this matter, the one who would suffer a loss would be the Zhou family. In this period of time, many things had happened in the city. The vast majority of these events revolved around Lin Jing or Baolin.

Among the opponents that Lin Jing had fought were the Ni Family's young master, Ni Fei, the Jiang Family's three brothers, and even Old Lady Jiang herself. But after so many times had passed, Lin Jing had never been able to achieve a complete victory. However, he had never been at a disadvantage before. And so, step by step, they had come to this day. In fact, everyone had discovered that Lin Su had already reached a level where he could threaten everyone.

Having learned from his mistakes, Zhou An had no choice but to think it through.

Walking to the back, Lin Jing and Feng Yuqing gathered together. Their expressions became serious, "Shopkeeper Feng, it looks like the Zhou family has already received word from Old Lady Jiang that they wanted to have a secret conversation with me. Their original plan has changed. They should be trying to reduce the time we have to prepare. "

"Boss, the Zhou family's plan has already been made public. Everyone is well aware that we know. Even if that is the case, they will still have to come. There might be even more plans in their minds, so we still have to consider them. " Feng Yuqing said with a serious expression.

Things went beyond common sense, so it was inevitable that he would do more research. The current situation was not as simple as losing money. If he fell into the pit, he might even die.

For now, the Zhou family could be considered as the vanguard. For both sides, this match had to be done beautifully.

Everyone in the city was watching. If this time the Zhou family won beautifully and obtained everything they wanted, then there would be even more people who would not have to worry about it in the future. Moreover, he wouldn't give Baolin time to prepare for his recovery. After all, the first person to eat a crab had already left the stage, and the others also had to hurry up.

Similarly, if Pauline was able to escape unscathed, then the others would have to consider how confident they were in fighting them. The Zhou family was not a small family. They did not make a move to search for it. It was a move worth more than a billion yuan.

"So, third brother wants him to leave immediately. It shouldn't be hard to find the Zhou family's things at the port. "In addition, contact the Arts and Entertainment City's Town Security Committee and scout their intentions. Find outside experts to do it, don't use our people." Lin Jing's eyes narrowed as he came up with an idea.

"The management committee just needs to ask. I don't think that the Zhou family's plan will work in Eastsea City. At the very least, they will let the patrolling people move after they reach the sea." Get someone to contact him at the port closest to East China Sea. We'll bypass the game and go straight to the line there. "

"Alright, I'll do it right away!" Feng Yuqing knew that this was an urgent matter, so he did not have the time to delay them. He spent quite a bit of time on the road.

His expression was solemn as he muttered to himself, "The Zhou family's claws have already been exposed. They are not much of a threat, but as for Old Lady Jiang, she is still in a fog. It's obvious that the threat is a bit greater. How do we figure it out?"

As he thought about this, Lin Jing brought the items back to the front.

Zhou An had already prepared the contract and placed it on the table. When he saw Mr. Lin come out, he said with a smile, "Mr. Lin, the documents are here. Check if there are any problems with the terms. We can discuss them."

Lin Qing was all smiles as he picked up the document and carefully flipped through it. Since the Zhou family was selling the goods on the market, there was no problem with the contract. Following that, he smiled and said, "The Zhou family has been doing business in the Arts and Entertainment City for so many years, so they naturally have no problems with their reputation and experience. I have no objections."

After he finished speaking, Lin Jing took out the seal and stamped it down. He exchanged the seal with Zhou An and obtained the signed contract from him.

The two of them shook hands. Lin Jing had a satisfied expression as he said, "Mister Zhou, it's a pleasure to work with you. You can inform them that our side is ready at any time."

"Alright, Mr. Lin's reputation is guaranteed. Then we'll meet again when the time comes." Zhou An also said with a smile.

After dealing with these matters, Zhou An left. Lin Jing looked at the document on his phone before turning around and entering. According to his plan, he would have to send some of the shop assistants over. However, Baolin's staff was limited. There were only four shop assistants in total, so it was a little difficult to get two out.

However, things still had to be done. He found two of the more quick-witted ones and told them to prepare. When they boarded the boat, they would be more careful. Then, Lin Jing gave them a leave of absence and went back to rest for two days. After taking care of these matters, he felt slightly more relaxed. However, the situation was still not looking good.

Zhang San quickly rushed inside the store. Usually, he would sleep at home during the day, so when he received Feng Yuqing's call, he immediately rushed over. After seeing Lin Jing, he excitedly said, "Boss, Shopkeeper just called me. How about it? Do you want me to go burn his mother's warehouse?"

"Third Brother, don't be so excited. We've only just started, and we're still thinking about how to reduce the damage. If it really burns, then we'll be in even more trouble." When Lin Jing heard this, he immediately tried to persuade Zhang San. This fellow was very unruly. He wasn't just talking, he was really being honest.

"What's there to worry about? Boss, don't worry. I can guarantee that no matter how hard we investigate, we will never be able to find out who we are." "These Zhou family bastards are so treacherous, we just want to play with them openly. The danger is too great." Zhang San narrowed his eyes and said eagerly.

"There's really no need. Third Bro, just clarify the situation in the warehouse. "Other than that, if you're free and have the time, you should visit the Jiang Clan. I feel that they're a bit too calm on this matter." Lin Jing's expression changed as he squinted his eyes.

Even though he had spoken to Zhang San about the plan, Lin Jing was not so relaxed. Regarding this matter, Zhang San's mood was a bit intense. Although in the end he promised him that he would not mess around, but what he would do in the outside world would not be good.
