Starting with a cub, the superpower boss becomes the richest man by lying flat

Chapter 41 I Don’t Accept Threats
Hearing Meng Yichen's voice, Lin Nan, who was sitting on Cui Shi's lap, immediately looked towards the door with shining eyes. When Lin Xin met his little eyes, she felt that it would be a sin if she refused Meng Yichen entry.

"Mr. Meng, what are you talking about? It's an honor for us to have you come to my humble home." Lin Xin opened the door and welcomed him in with a forced smile, only to find that his face looked a little... embarrassed?
Her eyes widened suddenly. What happened?
Meng Yichen didn't need to explain. Four tall and strong young men rushed out from behind him. They all had strong muscles, upright postures, determined eyes, and suppressed murderous aura. There was no doubt that these people were from the military.

"Miss Lin, please forgive me for disturbing you." Four men, who were a head and a half taller than her, stood in front of her in unison, holding different prey dripping with blood in their hands. That scene was only because Lin Xin had seen a lot of the world, otherwise, anyone else would probably scream in fear.

"It's okay, I don't blame you. You all... please come in." Lin Xin was annoyed. Forget it, since they were already here, what could she do if she couldn't fight them back?
However, she looked at her own yard helplessly. The place that seemed quite spacious before was now extremely crowded, especially the soldiers, who were squatting on the ground with their heads touching each other, each holding a prey and slaughtering, dissecting and skinning it.

A strong smell of blood lingered over the courtyard. Lin Xin looked up at the sky. She could imagine what would happen in the village tomorrow.

"Girl, come here, I want to tell you something." Cui Shi handed Lin Nan to Meng Yichen, and pulled Lin Xin to the kitchen.

"Tell me, what dishes do you want to order today? Let me make it clear first, it's limited to the ingredients you brought today!" Lin Xin had given up resisting. This old man never knew what politeness was. Now he has the title of Master Lin Nan. It should be easier for him to order her around in the future!

Whenever she thought about how all her troubles were caused by selling a ginseng to the old man, she hated herself so much. Why couldn't she be content with poverty?

Alas! One misstep in success brings eternal regret!

As she was sighing, she was suddenly hit on the forehead. When she turned around, she saw Cui Shi looking at her with a toothache on his face.

"What do you mean?" She was a little confused. Could it be that he really wasn't here to eat for free today?

"Mr. Meng's brother, I told you, right?" Cui Shi felt so itchy when he saw her like that that he wanted to hit her on the forehead again. But then he thought about her nimble legs when she climbed the mountain, suppressed his eager thoughts, and started talking about business.

"He woke up once yesterday, probably for just a few breaths, and then provided an important clue. He mumbled the word 'tiger'." After saying this, Cui Shi stared at Lin Xin's face with his old eyes, trying to see something from it. Unfortunately, Lin Xin's cultivation was not low, and he could not see anything.

"And then?" Seeing him so frustrated, Lin Xin was satisfied. I couldn't be the one who was depressed all the time! Hehe!
"Then? What else? But I told you before that there's a big tiger in your family, so look—" Cui Shi pointed at the four big men in the yard, "They're all here. Fu Jing said that when General Meng wakes up a little longer, he'll come too."

"Come on!" Lin Xin said, "Anyway, there's no place for them to stay at my house. It's none of my business if they want to come. I don't own the mountain, and I don't raise the tigers."

"Ahem," Cui Shi coughed uncomfortably, "They've already found your village chief and the head of the Lin clan, and have enclosed a piece of land next to the back mountain to build a house."

"What the hell? Building a house? Such a huge investment? Are there treasures from the previous dynasty in the mountains?" Lin Xin's eyes lit up.

"What the hell are you thinking about, treasures from the previous dynasty? What the hell are you thinking about all day long?" Cui Shi spat at Lin Xin, then lowered his voice and whispered, "That guy's in trouble. The crown prince was suppressed quite a bit in the past few years, and now he's not in a very advantageous position. The other princes are all gearing up to fight for the throne!"

"Isn't this abnormal? The one above is too strong, so it must be difficult for the successor! Plus, the one above is old and confused, and reluctant to give up power, so it has to be like this! If you ask me, it's because the one above lives too long..." Before she could finish, Cui Shi immediately covered her mouth.

"My ancestor, you really dare to say anything. Are you trying to kill yourself?" The old man was so scared that his face turned pale and sweat broke out on his forehead.

Lin Xin then remembered that this was no longer the era of freedom of speech before the apocalypse and the era of freedom of expression after the apocalypse in her previous life. This was a feudal dynasty system, and imperial power was above everything else.

"I get it, you can let go now," Lin Xin whimpered. She didn't dare pry the old man's hand open, fearing it might break if she didn't control her strength enough. "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll give you a shot so you can't talk anymore," Cui Shi said, wiping the sweat from his forehead and glaring at her.

"I know, I know. I won't say it anymore. Now you can finish the story!"

"Humph! Listen to me carefully and stop interrupting me."

"Hmm, hmmm, go ahead."

"General Meng is one of the Crown Prince's men. He previously intercepted intelligence regarding the Third Prince's biggest supporter, the current Grand Tutor Feng Xing. It contained evidence of his crimes, including buying and selling official positions, accepting bribes, and embezzling disaster relief funds from the imperial court. It also included a list of officials associated with him.

General Meng had originally intended to deliver the intelligence to the capital immediately upon receiving it, but he was ambushed along the way. All thirty or so of his companions perished, and he himself was seriously injured and near death. A tiger happened to pass by him, and he forced himself to thrust the intelligence into the tiger's hind leg, after which he fell unconscious.

"Well, what then?" Lin Xin asked.

"That information is very important. The tiger I saw at your house last time had its hind legs bandaged, so I wanted to ask if you have that information?"

Lin Xin looked up at him, and suddenly curved her lips into a smile. Her aura suddenly changed, and a murderous aura rushed towards Cui Shi.

The old man's face turned even paler, and he staggered back two steps, almost falling to the ground. It was only when Lin Xin kindly reached out and pulled him that his butt was prevented from making close contact with the ground.

"You, you..." Cui Shi's eyes widened and his speech became unclear.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. After all, you are Lin Nan's master, right? I'm just not a good-tempered person. We can talk about it if there is anything, but I don't accept threats or exploitation from anyone, including you."

Cui Shi’s old face turned from white to red, and he was speechless.

"Ms. Lin, you can't blame Mr. Cui for this. We forced him to come here. If you want to blame someone, blame us. Don't make things difficult for Mr. Cui." Four big men stood in unison at the kitchen door. Ling Qing, who had the most eccentric personality, stood up and spoke.

"That's right, don't blame Mr. Cui for this. If the girl wants to blame anyone, blame us!" The other three said in unison.

"You two should go! Don't come here again." Lin Xin walked through them expressionlessly, picked up Lin Nan, who was sitting next to Meng Yichen, and walked into the house. When she passed the kitchen, she didn't turn around, but asked softly, "Is your love for Nan Nan all fake?"

After saying that, she didn't stop and went straight into the house and closed the door.

"Girl!" Gao Yong's loud voice rang out in the yard.

"roll!"
