Chapter 26: Teaching Lin Yuan a Lesson

Jiang Family.

“Dad, there’s news from Shadow Kill—Xiao has been declared dead, he failed!”

At the Night Beauty Club, Jiang Shang lounged on a sofa, enjoying the service of a beautiful woman as he spoke on the phone with his father.

“I know. There’s a strict rule in the underground assassin world: once they accept a contract, they pursue the target until death.”

“Dad, does that mean they’ll send a Silver-ranked assassin next?”

“No. Since Bronze couldn’t handle Lin Yuan, Shadow Kill will dispatch an assassin two levels higher—Gold.”

“That’s fantastic! This time, he’s as good as dead!” Jiang Shang was elated, glancing at the beauty beneath him, feeling utterly pleased.

However, a minute later, he was sprawled listlessly on the sofa.

“Go make me some wolfberry tea,” he ordered.

...

Xiao Family.

In the garden, Xiao Longteng was practicing Tai Chi.

“Father.” Xiao Dai’er entered.

“Dai’er, what brings you here?” Xiao Longteng didn’t stop his movements.

“Your old injury is getting worse. I’d like to invite a doctor to take a look at you,” she said.

“No need. It’s an old problem. None of the renowned doctors in the capital could help me; there’s no point in trying anyone else,” Xiao Longteng replied, slowly finishing his routine and turning to his daughter.

“Dad, the person I have in mind might be different, but I need a bit more time to verify it,” Xiao Dai’er said solemnly.

...

Meanwhile, with Lin Yuan.

“Sister Weiwei, over here!”

Standing by the doorway, Lin Yuan waved.

A sports car pulled up, and the tall, alluring Lin Weiwei stepped out.

She stared at him in surprise. “Lin Yuan, are you living in Villa No. 1?”

“That’s right, this is my home,” Lin Yuan replied with a smile.

“When did you buy it?” Lin Weiwei couldn’t hide her shock. Her family only owned Villa No. 13, and here he was, living in No. 1.

“Sister Weiwei, did you forget? I cured Mr. Jin’s illness, and they gave me this villa as a gift,” Lin Yuan said, a touch of pride on his face.

“Oh, I did forget.” Lin Weiwei suddenly recalled that he was a miracle doctor.

It couldn’t be helped; he was so young that people easily overlooked his true identity.

“Sister Weiwei, come in and have a seat.”

“Alright.” She picked up her folder and entered the villa.

In the main hall, she took out the documents. After Lin Yuan signed them, she hurried off with the papers.

“Sister Weiwei really is a busy woman,” Lin Yuan remarked ruefully, wishing he’d had more time to admire her long legs.

Just then, his phone rang.

It was Lin Shanshan.

“Hey, country bumpkin, where are you?”

“I’m at Villa No. 1 in the Moon Sea estate. When are you coming to get spanked?”

Lin Yuan was nothing if not blunt.

“Can’t you be a little less vulgar?” Lin Shanshan snapped, and then, lowering her voice, continued, “I’m out shopping with Xiaoyu. She had a fight with her dad and has nowhere to go tonight. I want to bring her to your place for a bit, so hurry back and don’t hang around someone else’s villa.”

“Just come over and we’ll talk,” Lin Yuan replied, then hung up.

“That jerk, how dare he hang up on me!” Lin Shanshan stamped her foot in annoyance.

“Come on, Xiaoyu, let’s go to Lin Yuan’s. Bullying him always cheers us up.”

Zhou Xiaoyu, eyes red from crying, hesitated, “But… is that really okay?”

“What’s wrong with it? He’s so infuriating—bullying him is practically a public service! If we don’t, someone else will beat him to death one of these days,” Lin Shanshan said, raising her fist in mock anger, as if it was all for his own good.

“Well, if you put it that way, I feel better. Let’s go teach him a lesson!” Zhou Xiaoyu finally broke into a smile.

“Hehe, let’s go pick him up. Who knows what he’s doing in Moon Sea Villas,” Lin Shanshan said, getting into her little Beetle and heading toward the villa district.

Outside Villa No. 1.

“Welcome to my home,” Lin Yuan greeted the two young beauties personally.

“No way!” Lin Shanshan was stunned.

“Lin Yuan, is this really your house?” Zhou Xiaoyu was equally astonished.

“Yes, I cured Mr. Jin, and she gave me this villa,” Lin Yuan nodded.

“Hmph, so what if it’s Villa No. 1? It’s not like you bought it yourself,” Lin Shanshan pouted, clearly annoyed.

“Second Miss, I know you’re jealous. If you like, you can move in,” Lin Yuan teased.

“Get lost! Don’t even think about it. I’ll never give you a chance!” Lin Shanshan crossed her arms and turned her head away with a haughty air.

“Yeah, Lin Yuan, Shanshan already has a boyfriend—a really impressive one, one of the Four Young Masters of Haicheng. If he knew you two were living together, he’d beat you to a pulp,” Zhou Xiaoyu chimed in, concerned.

“Is that so?” Lin Yuan didn’t care in the slightest.

“Enough, country bumpkin, go make dinner. We’re hungry,” Lin Shanshan said.

Her eyes flickered with unease.

If this conversation went on, she might give herself away.

Xiaoyu must never find out about her and Lin Yuan’s secret relationship. Otherwise, Xiaoyu would look down on her!

“Alright, make yourselves at home,” Lin Yuan said, heading to the kitchen.

“Oh, and country bumpkin, Xiaoyu is staying over tonight. Get a room ready for her.”

“You can do it yourself, pick whichever you like,” Lin Yuan called from the kitchen.

“Fine.” Lin Shanshan actually went to tidy a room.

“Shanshan, are we really staying here?” Zhou Xiaoyu was reluctant.

“Silly, if we don’t stay, how else can we teach him a lesson?”

Just then, Lin Shanshan’s phone buzzed. She saw it was a message from Lin Yuan: Come to the kitchen.

Stashing her phone away, her eyes sparkled with mischief.

“So, how are we going to teach him a lesson?” Zhou Xiaoyu asked, curious.

“Tonight, under cover of darkness, we’ll bash him over the head,” Lin Shanshan said with an evil grin.

“But… I’m scared,” Zhou Xiaoyu confessed.

“Leave it to me. That country bumpkin’s all bark and no bite. He’s my little bodyguard—he’d never dare resist if I hit him. I’ll prove it to you.”

“How?” Zhou Xiaoyu’s interest was piqued. She really did want to see Lin Yuan get put in his place.

“I’ll go to the kitchen and teach him a lesson right now—just watch,” Lin Shanshan said, making up an excuse to leave. “You get the room ready. Wait for my triumphant return.”

She entered the kitchen and immediately closed the door behind her, looking at Lin Yuan timidly.

“Come here,” Lin Yuan beckoned.

Clasping her hands in front of her, head bowed, she walked over, then suddenly raised her tiny fist and threatened fiercely, “You… you better not try anything with me! If Xiaoyu finds out, she’ll never let me live it down!”

Lin Yuan wrapped an arm around her slender waist and kissed her moist, rosy lips.

“Mm!” Her eyes widened in shock.

After a long while, Lin Yuan, breathing a little heavily, lifted her onto the counter and kissed her even more passionately.

“No, I… it’s that time of the month, I really can’t…” she pleaded, her starry eyes hazy as she struggled to escape his wild embrace.
