Lin Jingsheng didn't want to hide anything from Chu Lin. While he planned this way, it was unfair to Chu Lin since it wasn't his original plan, and it indeed took advantage of him. He didn't have to admit it, but there's nothing to deny either.
"Ever since I heard you were with Lu Yao, I started planning this way. Given Lu Pang's personality, I wasn't surprised he would resort to such desperate measures. So if you say I planned this from the start, I won't deny it. It's true. You can blame me, or you can choose not to cooperate. I'm being honest with you because I want your cooperation. If you're not willing, I won't force you. You have the freedom to refuse."
Chu Lin felt as if he had heard a joke. He spoke so nicely, saying you could refuse, but what happens after you refuse?
"If it were Lu Bai, you wouldn't say this. You would definitely enforce his cooperation, but because it's me, you gave me the right to refuse. Do you even see me as a brother who shares adversity?"
