Villains: Starting with the Landlady

"I remember this ointment is a product of Zhenxin Biopharmaceutical, right?"

Fu Xuehui leaned back against the cushion and asked curiously when she saw the ointment Ling Yun had brought.

Ling Yun unscrewed the small cap and dabbed some ointment on his finger: "I'm not quite sure, is this company very powerful?"

"I heard Uncle Su say that this pharmaceutical company is one that has only recently emerged in China. The ingredients for this ointment seem to be very ordinary, but the effect is surprisingly good. Even the team has started to purchase it in large quantities, but they are ordering a special version."

"so smart?"

The team purchased a large quantity of a certain ointment, so its efficacy and side effects are undoubtedly top-notch in the world!

"Well, what's even more outrageous is that this company has only been established for less than 5 years."

Ling Yun paused in applying the ointment, lost in thought. It seemed that the founder of this company or the force behind it was not simple; perhaps they were a "protagonist"!

Ling Yun was very interested in this. If he were to seize the talent of someone who had developed a potion, not to mention anything else, just relying on the power of the Su Qingya Group, it wouldn't be difficult for Ling Yun to become a new business tycoon in one fell swoop.

After all, the profits from selling medicine are huge, especially when raw materials are not scarce!

"what happened?"

Seeing that she was standing there in a daze, Fu Xuehui asked curiously.

"Xuehui, if you have the chance, could I meet this pharmaceutical company owner? Perhaps you could use our pharmaceutical engineering background as an excuse?"

"Sure, no problem."

Hearing that she agreed without hesitation, Ling Yun smiled faintly and helped her apply the medicine.

After Ling Yun finished applying the ointment, Fu Xuehui was even a little disappointed, hoping that he could stay a little longer.

It was already afternoon, and the two of them, who hadn't had lunch and had just finished a big battle, were quite hungry. Fu Xuehui brought out some bread to tide them over, and after they finished eating, they cuddled together for a nap.

When she woke up, it was already dark. Feeling that she had recovered almost completely, she got out of bed and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Ling Yun put on his headphones and listened to Ling Mengxi's report.

"Boss, it seems that Yao Haihong was beaten up by the female owner of Laiya Bar, and his son Yao Xingchen wants to get revenge on that female owner and is preparing to bring people to smash up the place."

"Does he even have a brain? How dare he do something like this at a critical moment?"

"Of course he wouldn't go in person, but instead found some Japanese people, including Zhao Qian."

Ling Yun frowned slightly, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the table. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "It's that persistent little bastard again... How dare Zhao Qian go?"

“He was knocked unconscious by the female boss last time, and it happened to be the same place where he was injured. He also has amnesia and can’t remember how he fainted.”

Ling Yun put her hand to her forehead. This poor kid, suffering from amnesia twice in a row. But it's probably for the best. Each time, the most unpleasant memories were erased, and she only remembers the good ones, which isn't so bad.

"Let me know when they're going, and I'll go see them myself."

"Boss, this matter is somewhat dangerous."

"It's alright, I'm not going to confront them directly, I'm just going to check the situation." Ling Yun smiled knowingly. "I'm a law-abiding young man, I'll naturally call the police if I encounter any danger."

"understand!"

After a while, Fu Xuehui rinsed the rice and poured it into the rice cooker. She added an appropriate amount of water and a few drops of oil before closing the lid and pressing the "cook" button.

Watching her skillfully chop and prepare various vegetables, Ling Yun quietly admired her focused cooking figure. Influenced by the polygamous system in the Dragon Kingdom, Ling Yun inevitably harbored some patriarchal tendencies. While he believed that women should also have their own independent personalities, he was rather unwilling to do kitchen work or housework.

Moreover, with such a beautiful woman as Fu Xuehui helping him with these things, Ling Yun even had the idea that it wouldn't be bad for the two of them to live together.

Unfortunately, this idea only lasted a moment before he dismissed it. He was joking, of course; his dream was to build a massive harem, and one woman certainly couldn't hold him back.

As night fell, the dishes were served one by one. Fu Xuehui, who had been working hard, wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at Ling Yun tenderly: "My little man, try my cooking."

"I don't even need to taste it, just looking at it tells me it's excellent!"

Lingyun had been eating Fu Xuehui's food since he was a child. He took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat, ate it, and kept nodding. Then he ate a big mouthful of rice.

"Eat slowly, eat more vegetables, it's a waste to eat vegetables if you're full of rice!"

Fu Xuehui found his voracious eating somewhat amusing, but she knew Ling Yun was also exhausted, so she quickly served him several more bites of food.

Chapter 79 Back to the Rented Room

When Fu Xuehui finished eating and was about to clear the table, Ling Yun went back to her room, put on her clothes, and prepared to leave.

"You're not staying here tonight?"

"No, I'm going back to my rented room."

It was completely dark by now, and many office workers had just returned home, ready to enjoy their rare moment of leisure. Ling Yun, hands in his pockets, walked outside the residential area, where a Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled up in front of him.

With Ling Yaxuan by his side, Ling Yun no longer needed to rack his brains to think about transportation to go anywhere. Basically, he could just move his fingers and a beautiful woman would drive him there.

This time, there was only Ling Yaxuan in the car, and Ling Ruoxue continued to conceal her identity and monitor every move around her.

With the LV2 danger warning, she can monitor any slight movement or abnormal signs. Ling Ruoxue, who shares this ability, will directly attack the target in the crowd or use a more powerful mental suggestion to defeat the opponent.

This is not directly effective against enemies with strong willpower or those who have specifically trained their mental strength; solid fists and gun barrels are more effective.

However, Xiao Na told him that once Ling Yaxuan and the other two girls broke through to LV5, their abilities would all experience a qualitative leap.

Chapter 80: Grandpa Su's Phone Call [Bonus Chapter for Boss Zhui Feng]

Late at night, after Lingyun and Xialan had another round of fun, they received a call from Su Guosheng.

"Hey, Grandpa Su, what can I do for you?"

"It's okay, I dialed the wrong number, I'm hanging up!"

"No, sir, you must have something to tell me, right?"

Xia Lan didn't know who the Grandpa Su that Ling Yun mentioned was. Although she knew Su Qingya, not everyone who knew Su Qingya knew what kind of person her father was. She silently looked at Ling Yun, who had a sincere smile on his face, and guessed that he must have a very good relationship with this old man.

"Oh, my Yun'er, this old man doesn't have many years left to live, I just want to see you have a baby before I die..."

"Don't be like that! You're so old, you're only just getting ready to celebrate your 70th birthday. I'll definitely let you see a whole bunch of great-grandchildren!"

"Haha, you brat, why don't you bring a woman back with you!"

Grandpa Sun's real name was Su Guosheng. People in that era married relatively young, but because he was in the army, he was still unmarried in his twenties. Unfortunately, he was caught in the poisoning attack by Japan, and he was injured in the battle. Although China's technology was not advanced at that time, under the combined efforts of several exceptionally lucky individuals, they led their people's army to defeat the enemy and acquire the most advanced technology.

Because of his outstanding performance in battle, he was highly regarded by many people. By chance, Mr. Su married Liu Qiuhua, who was nearly 10 years younger than him.

Moreover, at that time, monogamy was the norm, and even after the law was amended, the older generation did not change their mindset.

The first child was Su Xingguo, whom Lingyun called Uncle. After the war ended and life stabilized, Liu Qiuhua gave birth to Su Qingya. However, the older generation naturally wanted a son, so later they had Su Jinyao. To distinguish her from Su Qingya, Lingyun called her Aunt.

Old Master Su was somewhat skeptical of superstition and was just about to have his wife have another child when the fortune teller came to his door.

This man possessed an air of otherworldly wisdom, making it impossible to discern his age, and his appearance remained unchanged for decades. Dressed as a Taoist priest, he spoke in a somewhat mystical manner, yet every prophecy he made came true within days, always concerning significant events. Having witnessed his miraculous abilities, Old Master Su naturally held him in the highest esteem, and even his later rise to power was attributed to the Heavenly Calculator's guidance and protection from calamities.

The reason the fortune teller helped him was to take advantage of the "great power," saying that he would face a calamity in the future and would need the help of the old master Su's descendants. The old Taoist told Su Guosheng that he was destined to be childless in this life, and that childbirth that did not conform to the laws of nature would have a backlash. If it happened too often, not only his wife but also he would be implicated.

Grandpa Su was naturally frightened and dared not have such thoughts again. He also treated his three children equally and did not favor any of them.

Su Xingguo is in his forties. He has a daughter with Lingyun's aunt, Qin Shuang, who is also Lingyun's older sister, named Su Xiaoning, who just graduated from university. Lingyun's aunt, Su Jinyao, is 36 years old, about the same age as Fu Xuehui, and is still single, which worries Old Master Su a lot. It's very difficult for women over 30 to get married, let alone Su Jinyao who is almost 40.

But his aunt didn't care. She had never been in a relationship and would travel during her holidays, living a carefree life on her own.

Lingyun had a deep impression of the female members of his family, and his aunt, sister, and aunt all liked him very much. Perhaps this is the principle of attraction between opposite sexes.

Uncle Su Xingguo works in the same industry, and Mother Su Qingya is a businesswoman; both have achieved considerable success. Only one rebellious aunt remains, still working for someone else. Whenever he chats with his old comrades and mentions Su Jinyao, Grandpa Su just rolls his eyes.

In my memory, my older sister, Su Xiaoning, had a personality similar to my aunt, both being poised and generous, while my younger aunt was a bit unreliable and liked to make trouble for herself.

As a child, Ling Yun was powerless to resist, and as he grew up, they met less and less, so he never found a chance to get revenge.

"Hey, Yun'er, why aren't you saying anything?"

Ling Yun suddenly woke up, realizing that he had been so engrossed in his memories that he had almost forgotten he was on the phone with Grandpa Su.

"Oh, sir, you're right. I was busy with something just now."

"Hey, when are you going to bring a woman back? Ah, preferably heavily pregnant, I'll just give you a villa, and you can move in with her!"

"No, you came from that era, how can you be so materialistic?"

“Me, materialistic? Fine, then have your uncle build you a thatched hut.”

"Hahaha!"

Grandpa Su was quite humorous. For some unknown reason, he treated Ling Yun almost like his last youngest son, placing high hopes on him. Whenever Ling Yun was being lectured by Su Qingya, Grandpa Su would always protect him if he knew about it.

Lingyun felt a deep respect for this elderly man.

"Grandpa, don't worry about this. We'll have them. I'll bring back dozens for you!"

"Oh dear, don't scare your Grandma Liu!" Su Guosheng chuckled. "Alright, you rascal, it's been a long time since you've been back. Don't just leave after dinner this time, stay for at least a few days!"

"Okay, it's Friday, right? I don't have any classes this afternoon, so I'll come back early and stay until Monday!"

"Okay, okay, I'll hang up now. You should get some sleep."

Goodnight, Grandpa Su!

“Lingyun, your Grandpa Su’s voice sounds very strong and familiar.”

Familiar? Of course it sounds familiar; it's the person who used to speak on TV all the time.

Ling Yun hasn't told Xia Lan about this yet, planning to give her a little shock when he takes her to meet the old man alone in the future.

Chapter 81 An Unexpected Encounter with Two Campus Beauties [Bonus Chapter for Donations]

The next morning, Lingyun woke up with a start.

He had a dream, a very strange dream. In the dream, he was in a dangerous zombie world. When he finally gained power, he seemed to see something, but he also seemed to have forgotten everything. Then he suddenly woke up.

Oh dear, I'm obsessed, completely obsessed.

Ever since he talked to his father on the phone last night, he felt like he was going crazy and had this dream.

Ling Yun closed his eyes and slept for more than an hour before getting up, eating breakfast, and heading to school.

At this time, students were just getting up to buy breakfast, and it was the most crowded time.

Imperial University is undoubtedly the top university in the country. Although Ling Yun isn't stupid, he still feels somewhat out of place compared to these outstanding students from all over the country. They're here to study; he's here to enjoy life.

Ling Yun glanced at the crowded cafeteria for a few moments, then turned and walked towards the teaching building.

Because he was in a hurry, and the two pretty girls next to him were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice him at all, they bumped into him.

"oops!"

"Hmm~"

He was tall and strong, and he knocked both girls to the ground by himself.

"I'm sorry!"

Ling Yun realized he was in the wrong and immediately stepped forward, extending his hands to help the two girls up.

After seeing the two girls' appearances clearly, Ling Yun was first taken aback, and then almost without thinking, he used the search function on the girl with long pink hair.

Name: Leng Hanyan

【Age: 21】

[Value: 172, B]

[Rating: 98]

[Combat Strength: F-]

[Affection Level: Like (Beautiful and approachable, up+)]

Although Ling Yun didn't say he was completely mesmerized by the sight of a beautiful woman, he was still surprised by the pink-haired girl's appearance. Her pretty face was almost flawless; pieced together, it was simply too perfect. In fact, even the slightest adjustment to any part of her face would ruin the overall beauty.

What impressed Ling Yun most were her bright eyes. Even though her goodwill towards him had temporarily risen to the level of "liking" because of her "beautiful and approachable" demeanor, there was no change in those star-like eyes. They were filled with unparalleled calmness and restraint, pure and immaculate, a truly ascetic goddess.

"Thank you." Leng Hanyan said softly, withdrawing her small hand from Ling Yun's large hand, dusting off the dust on her clothes, and looking at the white-haired girl beside her, "Xiaoyu, are you alright?"

"Why are you so short... Ah, I'm fine."

The white-haired girl wasn't as enthusiastic as Leng Hanyan; her eyes gleamed as she stared at Ling Yun. The young man's smile was like a spring breeze brushing against her cheek, making her feel somewhat smug.

Name: Jiang Ruyu

【Age: 19】
