Chapter 818 Both Teachers and Friends
John’s father, Sam Meeks, was sorry for his son and daughter. Besides, his daughter was weak since she was a child
and needed a steady stream of money as support.
At that time, although John’s abilities had begun to show, he did not have the ability to turn the tide yet. What was
more, the Meeks family at that time was hitting a dead end.
Therefore, the prerequisite for Sam to agree to sell the gold mine to Lincoln was that the latter had to protect his
son and daughter. But just when they were about to sign a contract, a well-known local tyrant, the Quinn family of
Valley City, came out of nowhere.
Although the family was a serious businessman, they went from the underworld to a legitimate organization. They
were still full of violence and vicious in their blood. The downfall of the Meeks family was all caused by the Quinn

Although Sam was not a qualified businessman, he was definitely an honest man, and it was absolutely impossible
for him to suffer a loss without anything in return. It was just that the Quinn family didn’t expect they would shoot
themselves in the foot at that time.
Lincoln’s methods were fierce, and he was a stubborn person. Not to mention that he successfully signed a contract
to buy the Meeks family’s gold mine; even the arrogant and domineering Quinn family was being pressured, and
they dared not make a sound.
In the end, the sudden collapse of the Quinn family left Valley City’s business world without a leader, and countless
companies upstarts emerged, flourishing. At that time, John, who had just graduated, followed Lincoln to learn skills
and gain insight.
From then on, John understood that one couldn’t indulge in empty talk, but how to engage in a business battle was
the real trick. Zayla asked, “So, are you counted as John’s teacher?”
Lincoln smiled and replied, “Both teachers and friends.” “What happened, then?” He raised his hand and gently
pinched her cheek, “Then? You really are listening to a story, huh?”// Zayla nodded.
Then, his slender finger tapped his cheek. Zayla stood on tiptoe and kissed his cheek. Lincoln wrapped his arm
around her waist and pulled her into his embrace.
Then, he told her what happened next. After listening to the second half of the story, Zayla realized that Iowa and
John were cousins and that Lincoln got in touch with Sam through Iowa.
It was also because of Iowa’s guarantee, and therefore, Sam believed that Lincoln would fulfill his promise and take
good care of his two children, so he agreed to hand over the gold mine to the latter.
Later, they wanted to bring down the Quinn family, and Lincoln took the risk alone with himself as bait to lure the
Quinn family. However, in such a critical situation, John made a wrong prediction, causing Lincoln to fall into the
hands of the Quinn family.

Fortunately, Iowa and Joe arrived in time. But in the process of rescuing Lincoln, a reliable and thin person was
needed to get into the ventilation duct to convey a message to the trapped Lincoln.
Their subordinates were all masculine and strong men, and it was hard to find thin and small man, not to mention
the addition of reliable and trustworthy. Ruby volunteered. Life was at stake, and John had no choice but to agree.
The harsh conditions in the ventilation duct was extremely dangerous for Ruby, who had always been weak. Still,
she brought the message to Lincoln. In the end, Lincoln was rescued, and the Quinn family was brought down like a
collapsed building.
However, in that chaos, Ruby took the initiative to block a knife for Lincoln, and the left half of her face was sliced
with a deep cut. Even though he spent a lot of money to hire the world’s most authoritative plastic surgery team
and performed many surgeries on Ruby, the scar was still faintly visible. “Although it was John’s mistake that caused
you, the bait, to be imprisoned, it is a fact that Ruby saved you regardless of her life.”
