Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

Martial arts practitioners are terrifyingly powerful...

Zixiao looked around and took a breath of the fresh sea breeze.

"It's such a strange feeling. Many of the villas over there still have their lights on, but there's no one walking on the beach. It feels very empty."

Su Yuche, the person who specifically criticizes Zixiao's strategic weapons, will never be absent.

"Are you stupid? Don't you know what time it is? Do you think this is the city park outside our house? Where do old men and women go out to walk their dogs? This is the seaside, pitch black, who wants to go out here?"

"Don't you feel uncomfortable if you don't scold me for a day...?"

"Hey, you're quite self-aware. Don't worry, once we're back on equal footing, I'll be much more forgiving."

The starting line she was referring to was all too obvious; this little girl was still holding a grudge against Zixiao for sneaking off.

"Hush, be quiet!"

Lin Yin suddenly stopped and gestured for everyone to stop and be quiet.

As she instructed, Yu Zhe remained still in place while looking as far away as possible.

Dozens of meters away...

There seems to be a beach chair in the distance.

Facing the sea, under the starry sky, it stands out exceptionally.

56. Just consider it as being considerate of your subordinates.

From a distance, the area was almost shrouded in darkness, with no visibility, but thankfully, the starry sky illuminated the surrounding landscape.

Yu Zhe and the others hid behind a large reef.

After searching for the best angle to look over, Yu Zhe finally saw that there was indeed a person lying on the beach chair.

The sea breeze lifted a few strands of her silver hair, which matched Yu Zhe's. Even though they were dozens of meters apart and the hair was blurry, Yu Zhe couldn't possibly fail to recognize her figure.

The person lying there gave him almost all the happiness of his childhood, but also brought all the shadows. As for his mother, Yu Zhe could only say that he both loved and hated her, and his emotions at this moment could not be described in words.

Lin Yin patted Yu Zhe's shoulder reassuringly.

"Alright, Yuzhe, we can talk about it later. For now, I'll listen to you. How should we proceed? Lu Ling and Lu Yao are already in position. Do you need me to go out and keep them occupied?"

"This step wasn't originally planned, but it seems necessary now... Okay, Sister Lin Yin, thank you for your help."

"A minor issue."

Having received the order, Lin Yin no longer needed to hide with them.

She dusted off her leather jacket, walked confidently out from behind the rocks, and headed towards the deck chair.

Yu Che was still a little worried: "Can we really trust her? After all, Sister Lin Yin is Mom's protector, not ours. Brother, we've suffered a lot since we were little. Every time, it was Mom and Sister Lin Yin who teamed up to mess with us."

"Don't worry." Yu Zhe continued to observe the other side discreetly and said frankly, "This time is different. Sister Lin Yin's actions were not part of our plan to begin with. Now we are just asking her to help us. Even if she turns against us at the last minute, it won't affect the overall strategy. But if she really helps us, it will actually increase the credibility of this matter significantly."

Zixiao was still the worst performer in the entire event. Even though she knew Yuzhe and Yuche's plans, she still felt uncertain.

"The whole plan was very organized, but my mother is so smart... I always felt unsure if I could fool her."

"I was also unsure before," Yu Zhe admitted, acknowledging Zi Xiao's doubts.

He saw that Lin Yin had already walked over to Yang Qiuyun. Yang Qiuyun seemed quite surprised to see Lin Yin coming over, but even though she was surprised, she just slowly got up from the recliner and didn't seem flustered at all.

Yu Zhe felt that the conditions had been met.

“But things are different now,” Yu Zhe laughed. “What was once uncertain has become much more promising with Sister Lin Yin’s involvement.”

"Now that we have a clear picture, this is truly an unexpected bonus. You all need to cooperate with me. This might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us to witness Mom's extreme panic. Make sure you remember that image; this way, all the grievances we've suffered over the years can finally be redressed."

"Ok."

"Hmph, there's nothing wronged about it. I just feel sorry for my brother. But it's good~ I want to see this scumbag woman wail and cry."

......................

"Lin Yin? Didn't I tell you to stay at the villa? Why did you come here? Didn't Yu Zhe and the others come?"

Yang Qiuyun leaned back in her recliner, looking at the guard who had been with her for twenty years.

Lin Yin has always been loyal and is the person Yang Qiuyun trusts most besides her family.

But even though Lin Yin hadn't said anything yet, Yang Qiuyun already suspected that she might have betrayed them at the last minute.

This possibility is low, but not impossible...

It can be said that in just a few seconds, intense thoughts and calculations of possibilities flashed through Yang Qiuyun's mind.

What is Lin Yin's greatest strength?

That's right, besides physical combat, there's also disguise.

If she didn't have some disguise skills, she wouldn't have been able to stay in the position of the strongest guard in the Su family until today.

So at that moment, she was behaving quite naturally.

She casually reached up and touched the back of her head, looking in the direction of the seaside villa with a troubled expression.

"No, they've already arrived. Yu Zhe brought a lot of girls, probably all of them your daughters-in-law."

"Of course! My son is capable, isn't that only natural!"

As a mother... instead of praising, shouldn't you be complaining a bit now?

Before Lin Yin could say anything, Yang Qiuyun added, "And then? After they arrived, do you remember what I told you?"

"Let them see the furnishings around the mansion, then arrange for them to have dinner first, and say that you have a friend to meet unexpectedly, creating the illusion that you are also very busy here."

"All correct."

Yang Qiuyun lay back on the deck chair, crossed her long legs, and continued to watch the waves rolling in the distance.

"Lin Yin, you're my only support outside. You know exactly what to do, but instead of staying there at this time, you've come here to see me. Oh, I see, is Yu Zhe and the others nearby?"

"!"

Lin Yin couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

For twenty years, the person in front of her had always been impeccable and logically sound. Lin Yin still had to question whether Xiao Yuzhe could defeat her head-on through strategy.

But at this moment, all she needed to do was repeat what Yu Zhe had just told her.

"Stop making assumptions. Why would I bring them here? We're all in this together."

"Hmm~ I like hearing that, but Lin Yin, you're just trying to comfort me. I know I'm 'on the verge of death' because Yu Zhe and Yu Che came at me with murderous intent. Even Zhen Feng said I'm hopeless and told me to pray for myself. You're much better off. You've always been Yu Zhe and the others' guardian angel since you were little. Even if you disappeared for a few years, it was just to travel. Don't worry, they won't make things difficult for you."

In short, it's easy to talk when you're not the one suffering.

Waaah, you said you and I are in the same boat?

Oh, so you can definitely jump ship anytime, while I'm the one who can be deep-fried anytime.

Just as Yu Zhe said...

A glint flashed in Lin Yin's eyes as she uttered the last words Yu Zhe had instructed her to say.

"No... I'm not much better off. Xiao Yuzhe just said that he came with my dad's orders to take me back. If I don't cooperate and take you back to the seaside villa, he'll say bad things about me to my dad. Sigh... Lady Qiuyun, please, for the sake of my sincere service to you for twenty years, show some consideration for your subordinate. You know what kind of person my dad is. If he gets really angry, he can really beat me, beat me to death."

"Old Master Lin?"

Lin Yin's statement completely dispelled the deduction that Yang Qiuyun had just been convinced of.

Lin Mu'an, the old butler of the Su family, was kind and amiable to everyone, but he was truly ruthless to his daughter, Lin Yin.

Because his daughter can take a beating! And she's always disobedient and runs outside on her own, so even though Lin Mu'an is old, he can beat his daughter really hard.

In this world, the only person who would dare to hit Lin Yin and make her afraid to fight back is probably Lin Mu'an.

Bringing up Lin Mu'an made it difficult for Yang Qiuyun to accurately determine whether Lin Yin had come under duress from Yu Zhe or was assisting him voluntarily.

"Lady Qiuyun, don't worry. Although I was forced to assist the young master, as long as you come back with me, I will definitely put in a good word for you. At least, preserving your dignity is absolutely no problem."

"Hey ho ho, after following me for so many years, Lin Yin, don't you know me? I'm not that naive. On the contrary, I bet you are..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Yang Qiuyun was interrupted by a familiar voice from afar, a voice that seemed to echo from her memory.

"Mom!! I've found you!"

57. Are you kidding me?

The voice truly came from the depths of Yang Qiuyun's memory, from the weakest link in her heart.

"Yuzhe?"

With a sway of her silver hair, Yang Qiuyun suddenly stood up and looked toward the source of the sound.

The sound was muffled; even if Yu Zhe's voice was shouted, it was still quite indistinct because they were far apart, at least sixty meters away.

Yu Zhe, Yu Che, and Zi Xiao stood together on the narrow road leading back to the villa.

The villa and the beach are separated by a slightly higher road.

The road is not wide, but it provides considerable convenience for the nearby residents.

Yu Zhe was calling out to Yang Qiuyun with his hands cupped around his mouth, while Zi Xiao was waving in the same direction. Yu Che, on the other hand, crossed his arms dismissively, but it was clear that he was glancing at them out of the corner of his eye.

Hehe... they are my dearest children.

Actually, Yang Qiuyun had prepared more than a dozen plans to avoid their punishment and achieve her goal of returning to Fenghai City unscathed.

But she didn't know how to explain it, but after seeing them, Yang Qiuyun felt a warmth in her heart, and for a moment she even had the illusion that it wouldn't matter if she was caught by Yu Zhe and the others.

Of course, this is just an illusion.

Yang Qiuyun knew herself to be a despicable woman. Family ties were one thing, but she couldn't let her son ruin her; otherwise, how could she preserve her reputation?

Don't worry, I have the best solution that can both protect myself and appease you.

So now, let Mommy go over and give you a hug.

Yang Qiuyun calmly took off her woven hat and placed it on the beach chair. Then, she waved in Yu Zhe's direction with a smile and shouted back, raising her voice as much as possible.

"Mom missed you all so much!"

Even though she was saying those words, Yang Qiuyun didn't forget to whisper to Lin Yin beside her as she started walking over there.

"Lin Yin, keep an eye on your surroundings. I guess... their names are Lu Ling and Lu Yao, right? They're definitely lying in ambush around here. Help me deal with them, but be careful not to hurt them, or Xiao Yuzhe will get angry."
