Su Lin suddenly realized, "I knew it! How could Li Ziyu, with her personality, let you go? I thought you had some kind of protagonist's halo. So that's why you came to me for help?"
Luo Sihai nodded: "Although I don't know what role Brother Su plays in this incident, I can guess that Brother Su's role is quite significant, or he may be a key figure in this game. I can't rely on Boss Su anymore, so I wanted to give it a try while I still have the chance."
"You're quite frank."
"However, Fourth Master, I must remind you that when you work for me, I demand absolute loyalty. You can't ask questions, you can only do it, and it must be done properly. If you get caught, you'll have to take full responsibility. It's such a thankless task, why would you still want to join me?" Su Lin asked with a smile.
Luo Sihai was still a little dazed when he thought about the scene last night. Qin Deshu, the head of the Qin family, was actually trying to give Su Zhenguo benefits. Li Ziyu was also very polite to Su Zhenguo and even invited Su Zhenguo to visit the Li family.
It is clear that Su Zhenguo has now reached a level that is beyond his reach.
"This...no problem, I can agree, boss..."
"Hey, hey, don't rush to call me boss. I haven't said I'm going to hire you yet," Su Lin interrupted.
Although he was in dire need of manpower, Su Lin felt that someone like Luo Sihai should either be completely used by him or not be recruited at all, otherwise what if there was a backlash?
"Brother Su, what other conditions do you have?"
Su Lin chuckled lightly and said, "There are no conditions, except that President Luo is still missing a pledge of loyalty."
Upon hearing the words "pledge of allegiance," Luo Sihai was taken aback, then suddenly realized what was going on.
Yes, loyalty isn't something you can just say a few words about, especially given the current situation between her and Su Lin. Their statuses are severely unequal, so why should Su Lin believe that he would work diligently for her?
"A pledge of allegiance? What does the boss want me to do?"

"Old Luo, what I need you to do is very simple: I don't want to see Li Ziyan again," Su Lin said calmly.
Luo Sihai's pupils contracted; "Li Ziyan, this... if I kill him, I'll be permanently at odds with the Li family. That Li Ziyu is a ruthless man who eats people without spitting out the bones. Boss, are you sending me to my death?"
Su Lin nodded; "That's right, I'm going to leave you with nowhere to go. If you're found out, you'll definitely die. The Li family has a master of martial arts."
"Hiss~!!!"
The sheer weight of the title "Master of Chinese Martial Arts" terrified Luo Sihai so much that he collapsed into his chair.
At his level, he could already come into contact with some martial artists who practiced traditional Chinese martial arts. However, he had only met the masters a few times. Their attacks were either fatal or severely injured, and they were practically inhuman. They could send a small car flying with a single punch as if it were child's play.
Su Lin knew he couldn't just scare him. He extended a finger, placed it on the table, and pressed it gently. The marble table shattered on the spot, and a clump of gray powder appeared where Su Lin's finger had pressed.

"There's nothing wrong with being a martial arts master. Lao Luo, you're not scared, are you?"
Luo Sihai stared blankly at the lime that Su Lin had pressed out, completely petrified.
"A grandmaster of Chinese martial arts... an eighteen-year-old grandmaster of Chinese martial arts!!!"
Half a minute later, Luo Sihai stood up and bowed deeply to Su Linxing: "Boss, from today onwards I am your dog, and I will do whatever you tell me to do."
Before coming to find Su Lin, Luo Sihai thought he could rely on Su Zhenguo as a powerful figure to stay afloat.
Now his thoughts have completely changed; an eighteen-year-old martial arts master!
With someone like that around, what more could you ask for?
Upon hearing this, Su Lin laughed and said, "Old Luo, I really admire you. You can be so decisive and have no bottom line. Aren't you afraid I'll lose?"
"Following a martial arts master to try your luck, even if you lose, it will be worth it for the rest of your life. Besides, you're only eighteen years old, young and full of endless possibilities," Luo Sihai said with shining eyes.
Who would have thought that Su Lin, this seemingly harmless 18-year-old, was actually a master of Chinese martial arts?
There is only one word difference between a master and a grandmaster, but the title of grandmaster is definitely more prestigious.
As long as Su Lin protects him, he can live a carefree life, and even if Li Ziyu comes in person, it won't make a difference.
"Okay! I want to hear the news of Li Ziyan's death before tonight."
"No problem, I can do it right now."
Just kidding. Su Lin is a grandmaster of Chinese martial arts. With Su Lin around, who can he be afraid of? He believes that Su Lin must be short of manpower and will definitely use him.
Because once he kills Li Ziyan, he'll be completely stuck on Su Lin's ship, becoming a tool in Su Lin's hands, able to do whoever Su Lin wants him to do.

To demonstrate his loyalty, Luo Sihai directly invited Su Lin to watch him kill Li Ziyan. Su Lin, having nothing better to do, readily agreed.
In fact, he had long planned to recruit followers, but the system said that if a character had not appeared, he might not be able to find them at all if he went looking for them rashly, so Su Lin gave up for the time being.
It was unexpected that Luo Sihai would take the initiative to join, which was a pleasant surprise.
[Luo Sihai: 40 years old, 177cm tall, 75kg, loyalty 62, trustworthy (increasing).]
[Skills: Advanced Management Skills, Advanced Sanda Skills, Intermediate Driving Skills, Intermediate Handgun Skills, Beginner Golf Skills.]
[Current Health: 80]
[Current mindset: Awe.]
Seeing Luo Sihai's loyalty, Su Lin was somewhat surprised; he was actually trustworthy.
It seems this guy is determined to go down this path to the bitter end. He comes from a criminal background. People like him either don't side with anyone at all, or once they do, they won't waver. Su Lin admires this trait.
Having a subordinate in the East China Sea will make things much easier for "793".
Su Lin sat in Luo Sihai's Maybach, with Luo Sihai personally driving him. As he drove, he explained, "My men have already reported that Li Ziyan is currently gambling in an underground casino in my Nanshan District."
"I heard that last night, that woman from the Li family took away his last voting right. From now on, he can only receive dividends and will no longer be eligible to participate in the Li family's affairs."
Su Lin smiled upon hearing this, "That's how big families are. The capable rise and the mediocre fall. Their families are big enough and have strong enough backgrounds. Each generation has a large group of people, and they cultivate them. There will always be an outstanding one, and then they will fully support this outstanding young generation. As for those who lose in the power struggle, they often lose the qualification to be players."
"Only in this way can these wealthy families be passed down from generation to generation."
Luo Sihai exclaimed, "No wonder these big families can have so many children, so that's how it is."
"Yes, that's why the struggles between these big families are often very brutal. Li Ziyu was just trying to protect herself. If she loses, not only will she have to give up all her strength, but she will also be traded away by the family as an object," Su Lin said calmly.
"Boss, how do you know all this?" Luo Sihai asked curiously.
In the end, Su Lin was just a rich second-generation. The infighting among such large families was not a simple matter. He did not expect Su Lin to see things so clearly.
Su Lin smiled but did not answer.
"Old Luo, your underground casino has been running in Donghai for so long without any problems?"
Luo Sihai didn't know why Su Lin asked this question, so he honestly replied, "Big families in this industry generally disdain to get involved, and they won't attack us unless our interests are infringed. After all, if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. So as long as you handle things well, it's easy to set up an underground casino like this."
"Boss, we've arrived!"
Su Lin nodded and looked out the window. Surprisingly, it wasn't an abandoned factory or a deserted place.
The underground casino was located in a large hotel in the city. Looking at the many luxury cars parked in the parking lot, Su Lin seemed to realize that this world shouldn't be viewed through the lens of Earth.
The rule of law here only applies to ordinary people; the real big shots generally don't have anything to worry about.
Of course, if it's exposed across the entire internet, it will still be dealt with in the end, unless the person has extremely powerful connections.
Luo Sihai got out of the car and personally opened the door for Su Lin.
Su Lin said with his hands clasped, "No need for that. I don't need an old man in his forties like you to open the door for me. I have hands and feet. Just do what I asked you to do."
"Okay, boss!"
Su Lin nodded. So far, he was quite satisfied with Luo Sihai's attitude and demeanor.
As soon as Su Lin got out of the car, he felt a murderous aura surrounding him.
Su Lin stiffened and looked at Luo Sihai beside him, asking, "Have any of your underlings killed anyone?"
Luo Sihai shook his head; "No, absolutely not, boss. The underlings who handle business and those who guard the premises are separate here. Those who handle business generally don't show their faces in public."
Su Lin nodded: "Then it must be someone else."
He didn't think the other party was there to kill him, so who would they be killing, Luo Sihai?
Su Lin thought it was very likely. Given Li Ziyu's way of doing things, she definitely wouldn't personally order someone to take action against him, but as long as she spread the word, plenty of people would come after Luo Sihai.
Su Lin's gaze swept around, and soon his eyes stopped on a cleaning lady.
Dressed in a sanitation worker's uniform, he was pushing a cleaning cart with a mop and a bucket for cleaning the floor inside.
His gaze swept over Blood Rose for a moment before he looked away.
This woman was an assassin, and her murderous aura was extremely strong—the strongest murderous aura Su Lin had ever encountered since his transmigration.
A professional assassin!!
Is this person here to kill Luo Sihai?
Su Lin shook his head. This woman saw Luo Sihai and he, but she showed no murderous intent, which meant she wasn't there to kill Luo Sihai.
"What's wrong, boss? Is there a problem?"
Su Lin chuckled lightly: "It seems we've encountered something interesting. Let's go inside."
"Okay!"
Luo Sihai led Su Lin into the underground casino, while Su Lin pondered the woman's identity.
Professional assassins appear frequently in the book, and assassin groups are a major element in the early plot.
Blood Rose, a silver-ranked assassin of an assassin group, wanted to leave the organization. She was then hunted down and fled to the East China Sea, where she was eventually rescued by the protagonist, Xiao Chen.
She promised Xiao Chen to do three things for him, and then Xiao Chen used these three things to successfully seduce Blood Rose into his life.
