After Mad Dragon was released from prison, I shocked the world!

It was past 1 a.m. when we finished cleaning up the mess on Lake Sky Island.

Lin Li did not return to the villa to rest, nor did he visit Gu Xiaomeng at the hospital.

He left the rest to Gong Kun and Lei Xiangqing, and specifically instructed Lei Xiangqing to have people clean up Ni Haichao's body.

After doing all this, he drove his Audi Q5 alone straight to the municipal party committee compound.

Some things must be resolved tonight.

Although Ni Haichao is dead, the power behind him remains, and the information he revealed before his death is too important—someone wants to kill Su Lin.

Lin Li had to tell Su Lin this news, not only to preserve this political ally, but also to use Su Lin to completely eliminate Ni Haichao's remaining influence in Jiangcheng.

The streets of Jiangcheng were deserted in the early morning, and Lin Li drove very fast.

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the main gate of the municipal party committee compound.

"Stop the car! What are you doing?"

Two sentries immediately stepped forward and stopped Lin Li's car.

Lin Li rolled down the car window and said, "I am Lin Li. I have urgent business to discuss with Secretary Su Lin."

The sentry glanced at Lin Li, then at his car, and frowned. "It's two in the morning. Secretary Su is already resting."

"Whatever your business is, come back to make an appointment tomorrow morning."

"This can't wait until tomorrow."

Lin Li patiently explained, "I must report to Secretary Su immediately."

"no."

The sentry's attitude was very firm. He slightly raised his steel gun, the muzzle pointed at the ground, but the warning was clear.

"This is the municipal party committee compound. No one is allowed to enter without a pass. Please leave immediately, or we will take coercive measures!"

Lin Li glanced at the time, feeling a little anxious.

The news of Ni Haichao's death will probably spread soon. If we can't reach a consensus with Su Lin before the other party reacts, all our previous efforts will be in vain.

Sorry, bro.

Lin Li sighed, opened the car door, and got out.

"What do you think you're doing? Step back!"

Upon seeing this, the sentry immediately raised his gun as a warning.

But before they could even raise their guns to level, their vision blurred for a moment.

boom!boom!

Two muffled thuds.

Lin Li suddenly appeared behind the two men, delivering two karate chop blows to the back of their necks.

The two well-trained soldiers collapsed limply to the ground without uttering a sound.

"I'm sorry."

Lin Li dragged the two men to the guard post and arranged them there, pretending they were sleeping on the table. Then, in a flash, he disappeared into the courtyard.

He was familiar with the layout of the municipal party committee compound and quickly found the small building where Su Lin lived.

The area around the small building was quiet, with only the streetlights casting a dim yellow glow.

Lin Li avoided several surveillance cameras and climbed up to the second floor along the drainpipe.

The easternmost room on the second floor had its curtains drawn; that was Su Lin's bedroom.

Lin Li gently pushed the window open and locked it.

He clicked his tongue silently, took out a thin wire, inserted it into the window crack, and gently flicked it.

Click.

The window lock popped open.

Lin Li quietly pushed open the window, flipped over and jumped inside, landing silently.

By the dim light coming in from the window, he saw a graceful figure lying on her side on the large bed, breathing evenly.

Just as Lin Li closed the window, the figure on the bed suddenly moved.

"Who?!"

Su Lin suddenly opened her eyes. As a leader in a high position, her vigilance far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Just as she was about to sit up and call for help, a dark figure pounced on the bedside.

A warm, large hand tightly covered her mouth.

"Ugh—!!!"

Su Lin stared wide-eyed in terror, struggling desperately and scratching wildly with her hands.

"Don't shout! It's me, Lin Li!"

Lin Li lowered his voice and spoke urgently in her ear.

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Su Lin's struggles instantly ceased.

By the dim light, she finally saw the face in front of her clearly; it really was Lin Li!

What... is this guy doing here?

And they even climbed in through the window in the middle of the night?!

Su Lin was both shocked and angry. Just as she was about to pry Lin Li's hand away and question him, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

"Linlin? What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

The old lady was getting on in years and didn't sleep much to begin with. When she heard noises coming from her daughter's room, she immediately got up to check.

Lin Li and Su Lin both froze at the same time.

If the old lady sees Lin Li in her daughter's bedroom in the middle of the night, and the two of them are in such an ambiguous position, then they're both doomed!

"Quick, hide!"

Su Lin gestured to Lin Li with her eyes.

But the room was simply furnished; besides the large bed and the wardrobe, there was nowhere to hide. The wardrobe was too far away, and there wasn't enough time to crawl under the bed.

Footsteps approached the door, and the doorknob began to turn.

Click.

In a moment of desperation, Lin Li made a snap decision, threw off the covers, and quickly crawled inside!

He crawled into the spot right behind Su Lin.

To avoid the blanket from puffing up too much, he could only press himself tightly against Su Lin's back, wrap his arms around her waist, and bury his face in the crook of her neck.

Su Lin froze, feeling like she was about to explode!

That bastard! What is he doing?!

But by then the door had already been pushed open.

"Linlin?"

The old lady pushed open the door, poked her head in, and turned on the small night light by the door.

Su Lin, ignoring the strange feeling behind her, pretended to have just woken up, groggily turned over, rubbed her eyes, and said, "Mom... what's wrong?"

"Oh, I think I heard some noise from your room just now. I thought you weren't feeling well."

"It's nothing, I just had a dream and was talking in my sleep."

Su Lin tried her best to make her voice sound calm, but only she knew that her heart was beating like a drum.

Lin Li, that bastard, placed his hand on her lower abdomen, his warm breath spraying onto the back of her neck, making her feel weak all over!

"Oh, you're dreaming... You should go to sleep early, you have to go to work tomorrow."

The old lady didn't think much of it, gave a few words of advice, closed the door, and left.

The footsteps faded into the distance, and the room returned to darkness and silence.

"call……"

Su Lin breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly threw off the blanket, turned around and kicked Lin Li behind her.

"Lin Li! You bastard! Do you want to die?!"

Lin Li reacted quickly and grabbed her ankle as she kicked him.

The surface is smooth to the touch.

Su Lin was sleeping in a silk nightgown. When she kicked it, the hem of the nightgown slipped down, revealing a large expanse of her snow-white skin.

"Ahem, Secretary Su, calm down, calm down!"

Lin Li awkwardly released his grip, sat up, and leaned against the headboard. "I had no choice. I couldn't let your mother see me, could I?"

"How dare you say that!"

Su Lin was so angry her face turned red. She grabbed a pillow and threw it hard at Lin Li. "Breaking into my house in the middle of the night and climbing into my bed! Do you believe I'll call the police and have you arrested right now?!"

"Call the police?"

Lin Li caught the pillow, his expression suddenly turning serious. "Aunt Lin, don't get angry yet. If it weren't to save your life, I wouldn't have taken such a big risk to come to you."
