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

"Fatty?!"

Lei Xiangqing's eyes widened as she pointed at Bai Nian'an, then at Lin Li, and finally at the bedroom, her mind instantly conjuring up a dramatic scene.

"What...what were you two doing in the house? And...is there someone else in the bedroom?!"

She can still hear breathing in the bedroom, though very faintly. But as someone who practices martial arts, her hearing is better than most people's.

"Good heavens! Lin Li! You've got some serious tricks up your sleeve?!"

Lei Xiangqing wore an expression that said, "I've discovered a shocking secret!" "Fatty is one thing, but who's that in the bedroom? You actually... you actually took on two people at once?!"

"Shut up!"

Lin Li's forehead veins throbbed, and he immediately reached out and covered Lei Xiangqing's unbridled mouth, silencing her from saying anything more.

"Waaaaah..."

Lei Xiangqing stared wide-eyed, struggling as she grabbed Lin Li's wrists with both hands.

Lin Yuehua was also startled by Lei Xiangqing's words. She quickly put down the groceries in her hand and asked nervously, "Xiao Li, you brought another woman back...did she come back to rest?"

Lin Lisong opened Lei Xiangqing's eyes, glared at her irritably, and explained to Lin Yuehua, "Auntie, don't listen to her nonsense."

"Su Qian is sleeping in my bedroom."

"Qianqian?"

Lin Yuehua was taken aback, keenly sensing something was amiss. "Why is she sleeping at this hour? And why did you bring her back at this time?"

Lin Li sighed, knowing he couldn't hide it any longer, and briefly recounted what had happened that afternoon.

Of course, the romantic details of the acupuncture process were omitted, and it was only said that Su Qian was drugged, and he arrived in time to save her and help her expel the toxins.

"What?! That beast, Wei Dan!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuehua trembled with anger, her eyes instantly reddening: "Qianqian is always so good to her employees, how could he... how could he bear to do such a heinous thing!"

"And that Manager Liu, he's worse than an animal!"

As she spoke, she quickly walked to the bedroom door, gently pushed it open a crack, and saw Su Qian lying quietly on the bed. Although her face was still a little pale, her breathing was steady, which put her at ease.

"Thank goodness... thank goodness you made it in time, Xiao Li."

Lin Yuehua wiped away her tears, turned to look at Lin Li, her face filled with lingering fear, "If something had really happened to Qianqian, I would never have peace of mind for the rest of my life."

Lei Xiangqing's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant.

Although she usually acts eccentrically, she despises such despicable methods the most.

"Where is that Wei Dan now?"

Lei Xiangqing gritted her teeth and asked, "This kind of scum, crippling him would be too lenient!"

"He's already been taken away by the police."

Bai Nian'an added from the side, "Lin Li ruined him and that Manager Liu. They'll spend the rest of their lives in bed and will also face imprisonment."

"Well done!"

After Lei Xiangqing finished speaking, she suddenly seemed to remember something, secretly glanced at Lin Li, and shrank her neck somewhat guiltily.

Lin Li saw her gaze, sneered, and slowly approached her.

"Miss Lei, are you feeling guilty now?"

Lei Xiangqing was forced to retreat until her back hit the wall, at which point she stammered, "I... what happened to me..."

Her eyes kept darting around, "I didn't... I didn't know this would happen..."

"have no idea?"

Lin Li suddenly reached out and braced himself against the wall next to Lei Xiangqing's ear, trapping her in his shadow and looking down at her.

"If you hadn't been causing trouble at the Baijiang Hotel, insisting on making some bet with me and demanding to inspect some goods, would I have missed Su Qian's distress call?"

His voice was filled with anger: "If I had arrived even a moment later, do you know what the consequences would have been? Su Qian's life would have been ruined! She might even have been murdered to silence her!"

"All of this is because of your stubbornness!"

This low growl made Lei Xiangqing tremble all over.

If Su Qian's death was truly caused by her delay, Lin Li would likely never let her off the hook.

"I'm...I'm sorry..."

Lei Xiangqing lowered her head, her eyes slightly red: "I really didn't know... I never expected it to turn out like this..."

"I was wrong, Lin Li, I was really wrong..."

Seeing how obediently she bowed her head and admitted her mistake, Lin Li's anger finally subsided a bit.

He wasn't really going to shift all the blame onto Lei Xiangqing; after all, no one can predict the future.

But he had to scare the woman, otherwise, given her personality, she might cause some serious trouble in the future.

"Remember this lesson."

Lin Li withdrew his hand and said coldly, "Think before you act in the future. Don't always think that the whole world revolves around you."

"In this world, some mistakes, once made, can never be undone."

"I see……"

Lei Xiangqing sniffed and nodded obediently.

Bai Nian'an, who was standing to the side, found this scene quite novel.

This was the first time she had ever seen Xiang Qing so obediently scolded, not daring to utter a single word in response.

This man seems to be Xiang Qing's nemesis.

Just then, Lin Li's phone vibrated in his pocket.

He took it out and saw that it was the location and room number sent by Mingxiao.

"Xiao Li, who is that?"

Lin Yuehua asked.

"It's someone from the Ming family who invited me to dinner tonight."

Lin Li put away his phone and said, "I promised yesterday."

"Then go ahead."

Lin Yuehua was a sensible person. Although she was worried about Lin Li's safety, she also knew that a man should not break his promise when doing things outside.

"Don't worry about things at home. The three of us are here and will take good care of Qianqian."

Upon hearing this, Lei Xiangqing immediately raised her hand in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes! Don't worry, Mr. Li! I guarantee not even a fly will get into the bedroom! I'll take care of Su Qian like a sister!"

She wanted to take this opportunity to make amends for her mistake and to calm Lin Li down.

Lin Li glanced at her, said nothing more, turned around, went to the bathroom for a quick shower, changed into clean clothes, and went out.

……

Wangjianglou, one of the most prestigious restaurants in Jiangcheng, is located on the riverbank. Not only are its dishes exceptional, but it is also a symbol of status and prestige.

A black BMW 7 Series slowly pulled up at the entrance.

Ming Yanbin, who had been waiting, immediately came forward and personally opened the car door for Lin Li. His respectful attitude made the hostess at the door secretly gasp in amazement.

"Mr. Lin, you've arrived."

Ming Yanbin smiled broadly, "My dad is already waiting in the private room upstairs."

Lin Li nodded, tossed the car keys to the valet, and followed Ming Yanbin into Wangjiang Tower.

The Imperial Hall on the top floor is the most prestigious private room in Wangjiang Tower, featuring 270-degree panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows that offer a breathtaking view of the entire city at night.

Pushing open the mahogany door, a faint scent of sandalwood wafts out.

Inside the private room, Mingxiao was brewing tea. When he saw Lin Li enter, he immediately put down the tea set and stood up to greet him.

"Mr. Lin! It's been a long time!"
