Chapter 34: Zhao Shen's Next Move
Unwilling to admit defeat, Zhao Shen decides to challenge Lin Yuer through legal channels, claiming that she has no right to certain resources. He approaches local authorities, attempting to bribe them into stopping Lin Yuer's operations. However, Lin Yuer, aware of Zhao's tactics, uses her growing network of allies, including the noble family she partnered with, to protect her enterprise legally.
With support from her allies, Lin Yuer wins the legal dispute, and Zhao Shen's plans to undermine her are thwarted. Zhao realizes he must either leave the region or find a way to coexist with Lin Yuer's growing influence.
