Villains: Starting with the Landlady

"He probably went out with his girlfriend; I didn't see him."

"Okay, thank you for your help!"

Su Qingya was just about to leave when suddenly...

She could smell Ling Yun's scent on the woman in front of her!

There's absolutely no mistake; she knows Lingyun's taste all too well.

"Xiao Lan, why don't you come in and sit for a while? My mouth is a little dry."

"Okay, then!"

Xia Lan couldn't very well send her away, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go in.

After Su Qingya entered, she immediately noticed Ling Yun's shoes. After closing the door, she quickly scanned the room and finally set her sights on Xia Lan's room.

"Hey, Sister Su! Hey, you can't go in!"

Xia Lan was extremely anxious, but Su Qingya almost ran to the door that wasn't fully closed and pushed it open.

Ling Yun was lying there casually when he heard the noise. He looked up and met Su Qingya's gaze deeply.

"Fuck!"

Su Qingya's face immediately darkened, and she stepped forward and grabbed his ear.

"Ling Yun, you bastard! You've gotten so capable now!?"

"I was wrong, I was wrong. Can we go back inside and talk?"

Chapters 34-6: The Two Talk

"So when are you planning to talk to Wei Dahai?"

Su Qingya crossed her arms, her powerful aura as a business queen pressing down on Xia Lan, making her lower her head like a submissive wife.

"I'll handle this, you don't need to worry."

"Lingyun, I'm asking Xia Lan."

"Don't do this!"

Xia Lan was surprised that Ling Yun dared to talk back to Su Qingya. She hurriedly tugged at Ling Yun, not wanting the two of them to get into trouble because of her.

Su Qingya's gaze shifted from sternness to astonishment, and then to grievance.

"Xiaoyun, you're actually going against me for her sake?"

"I won't. Can we go back and talk about this properly?"

Su Qingya glared at Xia Lan with some displeasure. Xia Lan was completely overwhelmed in terms of aura and status, and could only stand there with her head down.

"Alright, alright, what kind of attitude is this!"

Ling Yun's tone hardened, and before Su Qingya could speak, he whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, I've got everything covered."

After he finished speaking, he pulled Su Qingya, who still wanted to elaborate, back to his room.

After entering the house, Su Qingya changed into slippers, picked up her bag, and sat on the sofa without saying a word, her face as cold as ice.

Would you like a drink?

"Hmph, I won't drink it!"

Ling Yun sighed softly, unaware that when she was sulking with him, she was very much like a little woman, and no matter who was right or wrong, he would always be the one to back down and apologize in the end.

Ling Yun sat down next to her, but Su Qingya turned her face away from him in a huff.

"The most beautiful Qingya in the world, I was wrong!"

Ling Yun held her and softly apologized. After coaxing her for a while, Su Qingya's complexion improved slightly, and a smug smile remained on her face.

"That Xia Lan, no way!"

Just as Ling Yun was about to speak, he saw Su Qingya's aggrieved expression: "Aren't you even listening to what I said?"

"Can we not talk about this?"

"No! I have to say it! I absolutely have to!"

Ling Yun had a bit of a headache: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you!"

Ling Yun had barely managed to calm Su Qingya down by half, which had already killed a large portion of his brain cells. To make matters worse, Xiao Na kept laughing in his ear, making him grit his teeth in hatred. If she could materialize, Ling Yun would definitely give her a good beating.

"Hey, you're not angry with me anymore, are you?"

"Oh dear, how could I dare to be angry with you? My little Yun is all grown up now, she has her own ideas!"

Su Qingya made a sarcastic remark, and Ling Yun couldn't refute it.

"I am guilty. Now let the old man arrest me and shoot me for ten minutes!" Ling Yun raised his hands in surrender.

Su Qingya then laughed out loud, giving him a sidelong glance: "Xiao Yun, tell me the truth, isn't it that bitch Xia Lan..."

"Xia Lan is Xia Lan, don't say things like that again!"

Su Qingya was stunned. Looking at Ling Yun's serious tone, her mind went blank. Then she muttered, "You yelled at me!"

Twenty minutes later, Ling Yun served her tea.

When the woman uttered those three words, she had already disregarded the facts, and Ling Yun immediately admitted defeat and surrendered.

"Xiaoyun, tell me the truth, if I and that Xia Lan fell into the water together, who would you...?"

"Whoever dares to save me, I'll beat them up!"

Su Qingya almost spat out the tea in her mouth, and then she saw Ling Yun's solemn expression and said, "It's almost 10 o'clock, you should go back to sleep."

"What, I can't sleep here anymore? It's so late, do you really want me to drive back alone? That's too dangerous!"

"Don't you have a driver?"

"Oh, Xiao Wang said she wasn't feeling well today and took the day off."

"What a coincidence?"

"Oh, what a coincidence."

Ling Yun reluctantly got up. It seemed that Su Qingya intended to stay here, so he went back to the bedroom to get two towels: "You can sleep in the room next to mine. It also faces south and has a balcony, and it's spacious."

"Boss, what's the matter?"

Ling Yaxuan was in a room not far away, gazing through the window towards Ling Yun's rented apartment. At that moment, she had taken off her sunglasses and her suit jacket, her gaze calm and serene.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you guys were alright." Ling Yun had originally planned to have the three of them find the idiot who insulted her and beat him up, but then she thought better of it; there was no need for that.

"Well, it's alright."

The woman glanced back and saw her two younger sisters playing together. She shook her head helplessly and said, "Boss, be careful of the third sister."

"What, is there something wrong with her?"

"There's no loyalty, but there's something psychological about her. In short, I think about her."

There was a moment of silence on the other end, before finally saying, "Then keep a close eye on things. I've been feeling a bit..."

"Xiaoyun, who are you calling? What did you say about me?"

"It's nothing... Um, you guys get some rest, goodbye."

Ling Yun hung up the phone in a hurry.

*

"Xiaoyun, tell me the truth, were you with Xia Lan when we talked on the phone that day?"

"Yes."

Su Qingya was a little angry, but she couldn't show it. She asked softly, "You're only with her now, right?"

"Go to sleep."

Ling Yun didn't want to answer, and seeing this, Su Qingya could only sigh silently and stare blankly at Ling Yun's face in the darkness.

Su Qingya looked at Ling Yun in front of her and said, "The jade pendant on your body disappeared the day after you were officially named. Your maternal grandfather felt even more that your future was definitely immeasurable."

"In the five years that followed, our Su family truly took root in China... By the way, the old man is turning 70 soon and wants you to go back, saying he hasn't seen you in a long time!"

"Okay."

Lingyun remembered that this grandfather was very kind to her, but he preferred city life and was not interested in the kind of remote mountain courtyard where the elderly live.

When he thought of his grandfather, he thought of his beautiful older sister and his aunt who always liked to tease him.

His mind gradually calmed down.

Chapter 37 Coming Out

Su Qingya got into her car with the clothes, and Ling Yun waved to her before entering the school gate. At the same time, he made a phone call to Grandpa Su.

"Hello, Grandpa Su, it's me... Oh dear, I'm all grown up now, not a child anymore... It's like this, I hope you can give me some leeway in certain areas, and if necessary, someone can give me some help... It's not a bad thing, don't worry, a woman named Ling Yaxuan will contact you... I'll definitely come, if I don't come to your birthday celebration, my aunt will twist my head off!"

At the same time, a tour bus from out of town also stopped at the station near Imperial University.

A tall, aloof man carrying a suitcase walked down from upstairs. He had a buzz cut, stood very straight, and carried a backpack on his back.

"The capital city, I'm back!"

The man's name was Zhao Qian. He looked to be about 26 or 7 years old. A slight smile appeared on his cold face, which made him look even more chilling.

Five years have passed since I was dismissed for my disciplinary actions!

Over the past five years, he visited a senior master in a remote mountain village, learned a great deal of skills, and prepared to use them to make a name for himself in the most prosperous capital city in the world!

Of course, letting him start a company and make money is one thing, but showcasing his abilities, making his way in the world, or serving as a bodyguard for some important figure is more than enough. Later, relying on the trust of powerful figures, he can gradually climb the ladder of power and achieve his ultimate goal!

He walked confidently to a stall, intending to buy breakfast to fill his stomach.

"Boss, how much are these steamed buns?"

"200!"

"Holy crap?!" Zhao Qian exclaimed in surprise. "Why didn't you just rob it?"

"Buy it or don't, if you don't have money, go away, I'm closing up shop!" The owner was a very "honest" middle-aged woman. Her eyes were always fixed on the gate of the Imperial University, and she didn't seem to have any interest in selling steamed buns.

"What do you mean?"

Zhao Qian had a fiery temper; otherwise, he wouldn't have been expelled from the team. He kicked over the vendor's stall, glaring menacingly at the owner: "Apologize to me!"

The middle-aged man didn't speak, but calmly stood up: "You think you're so great?"

Zhao Qian, confident in his exceptional skills and having learned a great deal from his master, was naturally fearless and wanted to teach this boss a lesson.

A few minutes later, Zhao Qian lay on the ground, his buttocks sticking up high, having lost consciousness.

"Where did this idiot come from? He made me lose track of the boss!"

The middle-aged man muttered a few words, quickly packed his things, and ran into an alley. When he came out again, he was a woman dressed as a factory worker, and he ran quickly towards the school.

When Zhao Qian regained consciousness, he couldn't remember what had happened, but thankfully his belongings were still nearby.

"What's wrong? Why does my body hurt so much?"

He winced in pain, and when he pulled open his clothes, he saw that he was covered in bruises and welts.

"Damn it, who ambushed me?" He didn't remember what happened, only that he was hit on the head with a club while walking down the street.

There was hardly anyone around at the moment, and he slung his backpack back over his shoulder, feeling a little annoyed, and prepared to find a hotel.

As he was passing by the apartment building, a clothesline fell down and hit him on the head.

"Fuck your grandpa, that's twice already!"

Zhao Qian glared angrily upstairs, only to hear a very pleasant "sorry," after which the window opened and a woman leaned out.

"Hey handsome, I'm so sorry, did I hit you?"

Luckily, Zhao Qian hadn't eaten breakfast, or he definitely would have thrown up. The open window revealed an Ultimate Tiger tank with a rating of 6 points, but now it was covered in brightly colored paint and was even giving him a fawning smile!

"Handsome, don't worry, I won't run away. I'll take full responsibility!"
