Chapter 88: To Give Oneself

  To appease Lin San's anger, Jack could only sacrifice Lambert.

  Jack slowly closed his eyes, his fingers slowly hooked and pulled the trigger.

  Lambert's body shook violently, a hint of despair on his face.

  "Let him go." Lin San suddenly spoke up.

  Jack was taken aback and looked at Lin San with a puzzled expression.

  "A lesson would be enough, no need to kill him." Lin San waved his hand.

  "Ugh..." Jack let out a long sigh, stretched his foot and kicked Lambert who was still in a daze: "Don't you hurry up and thank Third Brother for sparing your life."

  Lambert suddenly came to his senses and crawled to Lin's feet, thanking him non-stop.

  "Jack, get all your men out of here." Lin San glanced at Jack.

  Jack hastily ordered Lambert to lead all the men in black out of the villa.

  "Uncle, Ruth, you both sit down."

  Ruth first came back to her senses and pulled Thomas onto the sofa.

  Jack stood honestly in front of Lin San, slightly lowering his head, waiting for Lin San to speak.

  Lin San took a drag on his cigarette and stared straight at Jack: "Is the Vanness Group an industry of the Tian Sha Hui?"

  Jack nodded hastily: "Yes, it's Tian Sha Hui's industry."

  "Why does the Wan Nuo Si Group want to acquire our logistics company?" Lin San asked calmly.

  "This...," Jack glanced at Thomas, hesitated for a moment: "Mainly want to expand the business."

  "Oh, there are many ways to expand business, it doesn't have to be through forced acquisitions of other companies." Lin San said with a poker face.

  Jack nodded repeatedly, acknowledging his own negligence.

  At this time, Thomas suddenly said: "I am very pleased to cooperate with Wan Nuo Si Group."

  "Huh?" Jack hesitated, looking at Thomas with suspicion.

  Thomas smiled: "Isn't the Vannos Group just eyeing my logistics company's industrial chain? I'm happy to cooperate with the Vannos Group, and we can split the profits 30-70, of course with the Vannos Group taking 70%. It has to be said that Thomas is a very astute businessman. The Vannos Group is extremely wealthy and powerful, and becoming partners would bring many benefits. When the Vannos Group first came to acquire Thomas' company, Thomas had said that the company would never sell, but he was willing to consider cooperating with the Vannos Group, only to be directly rejected by them.

  Jack raised an eyebrow slightly, but didn't say a word. Jack wasn't stupid; once he cooperated with Thomas, the biggest beneficiary would be Thomas. After all, the financial resources of the Vanness Group were tens of times that of Thomas Logistics Company.

  "It's fine like this." Lin nodded three times.

  Seeing Lin San's attitude, Jack couldn't help but secretly feel a pang of frustration, and the words of refusal that had just risen to his lips were forcibly swallowed back down.

  "Jack will host, how about my proposal?" Seeing Lin San supporting himself, Thomas had more confidence.

  "Jack nodded and smiled dryly: "Alright, your proposal is pretty good. I agree to cooperate with your logistics company."

  "Then let's sign the contract tomorrow," Thomas said with a gleam in his eye. Apparently, Thomas couldn't wait any longer.

  Jack took a glance at Lin San and nodded: "Alright, you come to Wanuo Group tomorrow to sign the contract."

  "Haha……Today is indeed a wonderful day." Thomas burst out laughing, initially he was terrified and almost lost his life, but unexpectedly, the company not only survived but also gained a huge business partner, Thomas could already see countless banknotes flying towards him.

  "Uncle, things have been perfectly settled, I should leave now." Lin San stood up and bid farewell to Thomas.

  "Ah, Lin, why don't you stay for dinner tonight?" Thomas invited sincerely.

  Lin San smiled and declined.

  Seeing Lin San insisting on leaving, Thomas also didn't want to detain him any longer, so he and Ruth personally escorted Lin San out of the villa.

  Jack pulled the car over a step ahead and opened the door to invite Lin San to get in.

  "Lin, come and play with me whenever you're free." Thomas said enthusiastically.

  Lin nodded: "I will."

  Ruth glanced at Lin San, opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but hesitated due to the large number of people present and didn't dare speak out.

  "See you tomorrow, Ruth." Lin San seemed to have no idea of Ruth's abnormality and gave a greeting before getting into Jack's car.

  Jack quickly sat in the driver's seat, started the car and slowly drove away.

  It wasn't until the car had disappeared from view that Thomas and Ruth returned to the villa.

  Ruth sat on the sofa, somewhat listless.

  Thomas himself poured a glass of water for Ruth and chuckled: "Daughter, have a drink."

  "Thanks, Dad." Ruth took the cup of water and sipped it lightly.

  Thomas sat down beside Rose with a smile and asked, "Daughter, what's the story behind that Hua Xia classmate of yours? Even the president of the Tian Sha Association is so afraid of him?"

  Ruth shook her head: "I'm not clear either, I haven't known Lin San for a long time. I only know he's from Huaxia and will return to his country after staying in M Country for a year."

  "Ruth, do you really like Lin San?" Thomas asked.

  Ruth's face turned slightly red, and she nodded lightly.

  "You'd better hurry up, such a good man will be chased by many girls." Since seeing Lin San's energy, Thomas really wanted to take Lin San as his daughter-in-law.

  Ruth's face showed a hint of disappointment: "Lin San seems to have no interest in me..."

  "Who says that you look so beautiful and every man will like you?" Thomas smiled: "Ruth, since you like Lin San, you should let go of your hands and pursue him boldly."

  Ruth bit her lip and didn't speak, but a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.

  Inside a speeding Chevrolet sedan.

  Jack drove steadily while secretly observing Lin San through the rearview mirror.

  The car window was open, and a cool breeze poured in, blowing Lin San's scattered hair.

  "Third Brother, that..." Jack said with a hesitant expression.

  Lin San leaned against the car seat and stretched his waist: "Just say what you want to say."

  "What's your relationship with Thomas?" Jack finally asked the doubt in his mind, Lin San was so supportive of Thomas today, it seemed their relationship wasn't shallow at all.

  Lin San smiled slightly: "I met Thomas for the first time today."

  "Huh?" Jack was stunned.

  Lin San smoothed his wind-blown hair with his hand: "I'm just friends with Thomas's daughter."

  So it was, Jack nodded suddenly, after making a fuss for half a day, the problem lay with Thomas's daughter.

  "If possible in the future, take care of Thomas a bit more." Lin San said calmly.

  Jack hastily nodded in agreement.

  Ten minutes later, the sedan stopped in front of the hotel where Lin San was staying.

  Jack originally wanted to invite Lin San to rest in his villa, but Lin San did not agree.

  Jack got down from the driver's seat and reached out to help Lin San open the car door.

  Lin San got off the car and greeted Jack before walking directly into the hotel.

  As soon as Lin San's figure completely disappeared into the hotel, Jack drove away slowly.

  The next day, Lin San came to school as usual. As soon as he entered the classroom, Lu Si rushed over, put her arm around Lin San's arm and said with a smile: "Lin San, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

  Lin San gently pulled his arm out of Rose's embrace and smiled: "You look much better today."

  Ruth stepped forward and grasped Lin San's arm again: "I slept very sweetly last night, and I had a wonderful dream."

  Lin San tried to pull his arm out several times, but failed. At this time, Rose was leaning on Lin San's body, and her full, soft chest was pressed against Lin San's arm, occasionally rubbing it, making Lin San feel itchy in his heart.

  The students in the class stared blankly at Lin San and Lucy, their faces showing a hint of surprise. Lucy was a famous beauty in the class, and she was relatively proud, usually cold to boys. Today, seeing Lucy being so affectionate with Lin San suddenly made the students in the class very surprised, and some boys' eyes flashed with a hint of jealousy.

  "Ruth, let's go sit down and talk, don't stand at the door." Seeing all his classmates looking over, Lin San felt a bit embarrassed.

  "Okay." Ruth nodded and pulled Lin San to sit down at the seat, casually taking out a bottle of milk from her bag and handing it to Lin San.

  Lin San just felt a bit thirsty and took over the milk to drink a few mouthfuls.

  "Lin San, thank you so much for yesterday. If it wasn't for you, I don't know what kind of danger my dad and I would have gotten into." Just thinking about what happened yesterday made Rose's heart skip a beat. Luckily, Lin San had kindly sent her home yesterday, or things would have turned out badly.

  Put down the milk, Lin San waved his hand: "It's all over, no need to mention it."

  "No matter what, you've helped my family a great deal. You can say that you're my benefactor. Doesn't your Chinese have an old saying: 'A drop of kindness shall be repaid with a fountain of gratitude'?" Rose looked at Lin San with wide eyes.

  Lin San smiled: "I didn't expect you to know so many Chinese idioms." As he spoke, Lin San picked up the milk and started drinking again. During his time in the US, Lin San had really developed a taste for milk.

  "I've made up my mind." Ruth said seriously and solemnly: "I have decided to give myself to you, marry you!"

  "Ptui!" Lin San's eyes widened suddenly, and the milk he had just swallowed sprayed out. This was because Lin San deliberately turned his head to one side; otherwise, the milk would have splashed onto Rose's beautiful face.

  "Lin San, what's wrong with you? Did you choke?" Ruth hastily got up and took out a tissue to help Lin San wipe the corner of his mouth.

  "Cough...cough..." Lin San waved his hand: "I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself..." As he spoke, Lin San took a tissue from Lucy's hand and wiped the corner of his mouth.

  Ruth stood by, looking at Lin San with concern.

  It took Lin San a long time to calm down, and he looked up at Rose and curled his mouth: "That... Rose, I helped you yesterday purely because of our classmate relationship. I really don't have any ulterior motives towards you."
