Since she'd opened her mouth and laid out this possibility for everyone to see, Lian Xingchen had to make a choice.
Gamble that the Tianfeng Chu Clan wouldn't frame them, or directly intervene in this internal strife and make the possibility of being the scapegoat disappear without a trace. Which one was more time-saving and one hundred percent safe? Did he even need to choose?
Helping them was Lian Xingchen's best choice.
That was all he could do!
It was a joke to say that she'd begged the Lian Clan.
Did Chu Yucheng and the others think they could force her to use the word "beg"?
Pfft!
If not for the fact that she didn't want to reveal her identity, she wouldn't even need to borrow the Lian Clan's strength!
Luo Qingtong looked at Lian Xingchen indifferently. On the other side, Chu Yucheng's angry voice rang out.
"Nonsense!
We never planned to do that! "
"Luo Xiaoqi, don't even think about trying to frighten us!"
"Young Master Lian, we will never implicate the Lian Clan in this matter. We can swear …"
Before he could finish, Luo Qingtong raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"Oh, I heard that silently admitting to it is a very good method. This kind of forbearance, swallowing humiliation for the sake of the family head, is much easier than complaining before!"
"Perhaps there won't even be a little bit of punishment!"
"Impressive, impressive!
Young Master Yucheng, I'm impressed! "
"You're really good at scheming."
Hearing Luo Qingtong's words, Chu Yucheng was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Shut up!"
How could this Luo Xiaoqi be so good at talking?!
This was the first time in many years that Chu Yucheng felt so speechless.
He couldn't even outtalk a young mercenary!
He'd heard from Chu Ke 'er and the others that Luo Xiaoqi wasn't easy to deal with.
He'd snorted disdainfully before, thinking that this young man was nothing but a lowly mercenary. What was so difficult about him?
Chu Ke 'er and the others didn't have the ability, so did they think he was the same as them?
Chu Yucheng was disdainful.
He had always felt that Luo Qingtong had saved Chu Lingfeng because he was caught off guard, and she had taken advantage of him by surprise. Therefore, he did not put Luo Qingtong in his eyes.
It was only at this moment that he realized that Chu Ke 'er and the others were not lying in the slightest.
This Luo Xiaoqi was really difficult to deal with!
Moreover, he was extremely cunning!
He suppressed his anger and looked at Lian Xingchen, wanting to continue explaining.
However, the latter's voice had already sounded.
"You're right."
Lian Xingchen's gaze was deep. He looked at Luo Qingtong, knowing that he had underestimated this young mercenary.
He originally thought that the other party was trying to provoke him into saving them.
Who would have thought that while the other party was forcing him, he wasn't trying to provoke him at all. Furthermore, he was making it so that he couldn't refuse!
Just as Luo Qingtong thought, she had already put the idea of framing the Lian Family of the Flying Star Sector on the table.
Whether or not the Tianfeng Chu Family had such an idea, Lian Xingchen had to be on guard against this last move.
What use was Chu Yucheng's guarantee?
Just as Luo Qingtong had said, sometimes silence was a very good way to frame someone!
If he trusted Chu Yucheng, he might still be betrayed.
But if he helped Luo Qingtong, he could completely nip this hidden danger in the bud. Chu Yucheng wouldn't have the slightest chance to frame him.
Which was better? Did he even need to choose?
This young man was really making him slap his own face!
Lian Xingchen's face twitched as he thought of this.
