Villain: Starting as a Corrupt Tycoon's Wife

"This is so true!"

Feng Xiu swung his fist again, shattering the air wall that was strong enough to block a barrage of rifle fire. With the remaining force, he continued to smash into the opponent's chest.

"Hey!" Ma Baoguo tucked in his chest and stomach, then straightened his chest and deflected the force of the punch back.

Feng Xiu was forced back a few steps by his own strength, and his eyes immediately brightened.

He attacked Ma Baoguo relentlessly like a mad dog, each move aimed straight for vital points. Although Ma Baoguo had broken through by force, he was still a Grandmaster, far stronger than a late-stage Innate Realm expert, and quickly suppressed Feng Xiu.

After repelling Feng Xiu once again, seeing that the other party had no intention of stopping, Ma Baoguo knew that if he didn't take drastic measures, he might not be able to get rid of them today.

"Watch out, this is my signature move, the Lightning Five-Strike Whip. Everyone who's tasted my whip says it's tough!"

Before making his move, he couldn't help but boast a few words, and then unleashed a five-whip combo with lightning speed.

The moves were unleashed like lightning and a long whip, crackling and popping.

Feng Xiu kept his eyes fixed on his movements, but in their first battle, he was still unable to accurately track the trajectory of the moves. He was hit solidly by the five consecutive whips, and was sent flying backward, crashing into several towering trees.

Ma Baoguo estimated that the other party would not be able to get back up for a while.

With a clear whistle, Feng Xiu, his eyes bloodshot, once again charged out of the forest.

Ma Baoguo was somewhat shocked, but he still said, "If that's the case, then I won't hold back anymore!"

Two days ago, one of his apprentices called, saying he would come to Longguo in a few days and he would take him out for a look around. Ma Baoguo had been hiding for so long and hadn't seen any Martial Alliance people chasing after him, so he figured the heat should have died down and decided to go out and take a look.

The top experts in the Martial Alliance might not be his match, but they have the backing of the government, so how could he dare to fight them?

Unexpectedly, I encountered Feng Xiu at this critical juncture.

Thinking of this, Ma Baoguo focused his energy in his dantian, and the true energy that had already condensed into liquid immediately began to boil.

"Hey!"

He unleashed the Lightning Five-Strike Whip once more, a move that was usually invincible, but it encountered an unexpected problem when facing Feng Xiu at this moment.

He used his hand as a whip to strike Feng Xiu, but the other party saw through his pattern, and even after five consecutive lashes, he failed to inflict any effective damage.

"Old man, the same trick won't work on me twice!"

Feng Xiu punched Ma Baoguo in the throat. Even though the latter was a grandmaster, he was still temporarily knocked unconscious by the punch and could only cover his neck and retreat rapidly.

"Lightning Five-Strike Whip? It's nothing but a juggling act, relying on a high cultivation level to wildly swing it around. It's childish and laughable. I saw through it the moment you used it!"

Feng Xiu still carried the injuries inflicted on him by Ma Baoguo, but these injuries did not affect his movements.

"Let me see just how much of the grandmaster's skill is genuine!"

Feng Xiu charged forward, his fists flailing wildly like a madman. His unique fist technique, which combined the strengths of various schools and forged its own path, left the injured Ma Baoguo struggling to keep up. Even when he managed to parry, he was forced to retreat step by step under the opponent's fierce attacks.

Ma Baoguo slipped and quickly stopped his backward steps.

He looked back and saw a cliff behind him; falling off would mean certain death.

Feng Xiu let out a strange laugh and charged forward like a greedy wolf.

"Receive, transform, and release!"

Ma Baoguo pressed down on the other man's arm, using his strength to pull him towards the cliff behind him, and then released his grip.

Just when he thought Feng Xiu was doomed, the other party grabbed his collar.

This was a high-end suit that one of his favorite students had commissioned to be custom-made for him at great expense. It was sturdy and durable, but now it was having a side effect.

He opened his mouth in terror, only to be pulled down by Feng Xiu...

Chapter 84 Outstanding Entrepreneur [Bonus Chapter for Donations]

"Recently, 'Xiaobai Assistant,' a product of Xinghe Group, has gone viral online. This software, only 30 megabytes in size, can improve the performance of mobile phones and computers by about 30% and act as a protective shield for your beloved device..."

Upon seeing this report, Wu Qianyi was overwhelmed with excitement, as if she were the one being praised by the authorities.

As a member of the Galaxy Group, the assistant felt honored, especially since this was a treasure that her boss had pulled out of his four-dimensional pocket.

The company's mobile phone production lines have been gradually rolled out, and the Tianchuan system has been directly selected by higher-ups. After being tested by professionals, it has been piloted in some special departments and is expected to be gradually rolled out to all units in six months.

With the combined support of these two technologies, even old computers in many organizations can run at high speeds, process business much faster, and at almost no cost.

As for Ling Yun, a major villain, who is now getting closer and closer to the authorities, he doesn't think there's anything wrong with it.

After all, in the eyes of those Western countries, isn't China a super villain?

Some countries have created islands of evil, engaging in various organ trafficking and human crimes. They can arbitrarily launch military attacks on a country with just a bag of laundry detergent as evidence, yet they claim to be beacons of light and the light of human civilization.

Not long ago, the bishop of the Sardinian Empire read out the list of Gaza children who were brutally murdered, and it took him a full seven hours to read it!

Those vampires claim to be God's chosen people, acting according to His will, yet they have carried out inhumane massacres of the indigenous people, conducted precision bombings of schools and hospitals, and committed countless crimes. They dominate the online discourse, frantically whitewashing their actions, claiming everything they did was to eliminate terrorists.

The supplies donated by the coalition government to the Gaza region were also intercepted by these beasts in human skin, and even the personnel they sent were shot and dismembered, making it difficult to even piece together complete corpses...

Since they represent so-called "justice" and "light," what's wrong with me taking on the title of "villain"?

Ling Shuang knocked on the door and came in. It was a rare sight to see Ling Yun and Wu Qianyi sitting peacefully in their respective chairs, and she felt a sense of relief.

She came up behind Ling Yun, looked at the shocking pictures and text on the webpage, and didn't say anything, but quietly waited for Ling Yun to finish reading.

Lingyun browsed very quickly. Due to restrictions imposed by relevant laws and regulations, these platforms could not release the full version of the images, but even with such thick censorship, the cruel, hellish scroll could still be seen.

"What do you want from me?"

Ling Yun closed the webpage, his tone relatively calm.

Ling Shuang knew that beneath Ling Yun's seemingly calm expression lay a turbulent inner turmoil.

"Congratulations on being selected as a representative of the new generation of outstanding entrepreneurs in the capital."

“This thing was still a long way off for me two months ago.” Ling Yun chuckled. “It’s good that it has this reputation; I’m basking in your glory.”

"You were chosen, it has nothing to do with me."

Ling Shuang grabbed the back of his chair, pulled it out, and then straddled it.

The young man held her waist and said, "You're pretty quick. When were those mobile phone production lines set up?"

Ling Shuang hugged his handsome face and kissed him, a hint of pride on her face: "Our competitors practically gave it away for free, and many of our employees were transferred from them."

"They're so generous?"

“In the past two years, they have been held back by foreign technology companies quite a bit. Now we can provide chips, and there is government support. It’s just a matter of some employees and production lines. They know very well which is more important.”

Ling Shuang shifted closer to him, and Ling Yun sensed something, saying meaningfully, "Not wearing anything?"

"I just took it off in the office."

The now-icy CEO is very relaxed in private. She stood up, helped Ling Yun unzip his jacket, and then sat down precisely.

"By the way, could you contact DJ for me?" Ling Yun slapped her buttocks. "I need a batch of drones soon. As for what they're for, don't ask. I won't tell you even if you do."

"You rascal, so secretive."

The female CEO increased the amplitude and frequency of the movements, and Ling Yun bounced her up and down while holding her, quickly bringing her to the top.

Ling Yun originally planned to have Wu Qianyi take over the second half of the game, and his assistant was also getting ready to get up. However, Ling Shuang disagreed and clung to him tightly, insisting that they finish the entire ranked match before it would count.

As expected, he was exhausted and was carried to the rest room by Lingyun to sleep for a while.

After waking up, Ling Shuang asked her secretary to contact this domestic technology giant. It was said that Ling Yun had personally requested it, and the other party attached great importance to it.

Lingyun required that, in addition to being able to organize light shows at night, they must also be able to carry about 20 kilograms of heavy objects.

These requirements weren't particularly high, but the tech company's executives still found it a bit strange and confirmed it with Ling Shuang again.

Ling Shuang replied that the company needed these novelties for its annual meeting.

Ten thousand drones, just for the company's annual meeting?

Although it sounded a bit off, given their previous experience performing in the emirate, it made sense. One could only admire Boss Ling's wealth and even ask if they needed any technical assistance.

With a large sum of money in hand, DJ started working overtime to dispatch trucks to deliver the goods to the designated locations.

The receiving area was located in an abandoned factory area. If it weren't for the need to avoid suspicion, Ling Yun would have liked to go directly to their factory to pick up the goods.

As the system's female character, Xiao Ai can act as a super AI, taking over programming and management tasks, at the cost of a symbolic 100 points.

Ma Baoguo's body was discovered a week after he fell off the cliff by an outdoor adventure livestreamer.

The news of the fall of a martial arts master spread throughout the martial arts world and the Jianghu, and even the Martial Alliance was alarmed and went to check on his body.

According to the forensic examination, Ma Baoguo's direct cause of death was a fall from a height. Furthermore, traces of external force were found on his body, proving that he had fought with someone before his death, and that the fight was intense.

Forensic experts extracted DNA suspected to be that of the murderer from Ma Baoguo's clothing, but no matching entity was found in the criminal database. They are now investigating his previous enemies one by one.

Lingyun also saw the news.

To knock Ma Baoguo off a cliff, one must possess at least the strength of a Great Perfection of the Innate Realm or a Grandmaster Realm expert.

Meeting this condition and acting with such ruthlessness...

The image of a certain man gradually appeared in his mind.

It seems highly likely that Ma Baoguo's death was related to feudal revisionism.

Just as he was putting the drone that had been delivered today into his storage space, Blue Hair sent him a text message and a picture.

"Chairman Ling, we've found another strange bottle!"

Chapter 85 Accidentally

During this period, Lanmao and his friends worked incredibly hard, practically clearing the entire area, and also sending Lingyun all sorts of "treasures".

There are wine jars that others buried underground many years ago, some broken earthenware pots, and even ampoules that were carelessly discarded.

Ling Yun went to the scene to check them all, but none of them were useful—no, that's not right either, the bottle of wine was divided up by Blue Hair and his friends, and it was said to taste pretty good, so Ling Yun was afraid that something dirty had been mixed in with it, so he didn't drink it.

This time, Lanmao sent Lingyun another picture of a bottle.

The bottle looks somewhat vintage, completely different from the previous ones.

"Don't move from there, none of you leave."

"Alright, Mr. Ling, we'll stay at Huang Mao's house!"

Ling Yun immediately drove over and found that they were doing a thorough cleaning, with garbage piled up everywhere in the house.

He was almost driven away by the fumes. When the blue-haired man saw this, he grinned and ran over, leading Ling Yun to a room.

"Chairman Ling, I have a feeling this has a real chance!" Blue Hair pointed to the bottle on the table. "This bottle looks like an antique; it must be worth a lot of money!"

Ling Yun raised an eyebrow. It turned out that these punks had misunderstood him and thought they had come to dig up antiques.

He went along with it and didn't tell them directly, lest they be frightened.

【Death Plague】: A product from the spirit world, a backup for the "source of plague", with slightly weaker effects.

The bottle was lifted from the clouds, indicating that the person who buried it did so intentionally, leaving not only the source of the plague in Mang Village but also a backup.

"I'll have the finance department transfer the money to you later. As for the bottle..."

"You can rest assured, I would never tell anyone, even if you killed me!"

Seeing the determined look on Lan Mao's face, Ling Yun said nothing more and turned to leave the stinking house.

After he left, his underlings surrounded him.

"Boss, have you found what Chairman Ling is looking for?"

"Of course! You guys have worked hard these past few days, I'll treat you all to a big meal tonight!"

The punks started making a ruckus, boasting that they would drink all the drinks in the restaurant.

Once they calmed down a bit, Blue Hair warned them again not to reveal this matter.

The underlings all knew the consequences of offending Ling Yun, and besides, it wasn't worth getting into trouble over a bottle.

"Whatever that bottle is or what's inside, it's none of our business. I'll give you the money once it's in my account. Once you leave this room, keep this to yourself. Do you understand?"

"Whoo!"

On the bus, Ling Yun put the bottle into his spatial storage and looked at the two containers placed side by side, lost in thought.

This kind of plague, which can spread over a wide area, is probably not targeted at any particular country, since it wouldn't benefit them either, unless they wanted to perish together with them.

Moreover, the fact that it could spread so quickly to the whole world suggests that there might be backups not only in this area, but also in other places!
