Villains: Starting with the Landlady

Ling Yun then took a closer look at Zheng Xi. As expected of a score of 96, although her face was as calm and she appeared to be doing her job in a businesslike manner, one could still glimpse the charm in her eyes. Her face was long and narrow, with little fat, and her facial features were well-defined. She wore light makeup and had slightly raised eyebrows, giving her a rather imposing presence.

After all, she is a female police officer in the law enforcement bureau, so naturally she needs these things to highlight the seriousness of her work.

Ling Yun wasn't so arrogant as to think that every woman would fall for him at first sight; that would take away the fun. The feeling of gradually winning her over and exploring her was quite interesting.

However, he did not expect that Zheng Xi, whose delicate body was wrapped in the law enforcement uniform, would have such a good figure.

He exchanged a few more polite words with Zheng Xi, stayed for a while, and then left the law enforcement bureau.

He walked out of the law enforcement station and came to the door, where a low-key Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped in front of him.

"Boss, you can call me Ling Da. I'll be in charge of your travel from now on."

A clear female voice came from behind, and Ling Yun looked at the lowered car window.

The driver was also a man in black. This Rolls-Royce naturally belonged to Ling Yun, who had granted the man in black access through Xiao Na.

"Ah."

Ling Yun sat in the back seat, closed his eyes to rest, and after Ling Da saw that he was settled, he started the car and drove towards the hotel.

Ling Da had her hair tied in a ponytail, wore a suit and sunglasses, and had a slightly heroic appearance, looking exactly like a man in black.

The car stopped in front of the hotel, and Ling Da got out and opened the car door for him.

"Boss, we're here."

Do you have a place to stay?

"Yes, Ling Er and Ling San also live with me to cover our tracks."

Ling Yun patted her shoulder, whispered a few words of advice, and then called Qi Jingjing.

The girl was huddled in bed playing on her phone, but her heart was pounding. The short videos that usually attracted her had lost their appeal.

Upon seeing the incoming call, she took a deep breath and answered the call somewhat nervously.

"Lingyun? I'm in room 8602, on the sixth floor. Turn right after you get off the elevator and go to the innermost room."

Less than a minute after she hung up the phone, she heard a knock on the door.

She was only wearing a top and shorts and ran barefoot to the door.

After seeing Ling Yun through the peephole, she opened the door.

The moment Ling Yun saw her, he immediately slipped into the house and locked the door from the inside.

"Has it been handled over there?"

"Alright, now it's time to take care of our business."

Ling Yun pressed her against the wall and leaned down to seal her lips with his. With her mouth blocked, Qi Jingjing could only whimper through her nose.

Ling Yun picked her up and threw her onto the bed.

……

"From now on, you're not allowed to wear those revealing clothes anymore, except when we're alone, understand?"

"That's a JK uniform, how is that revealing..."

"Did you hear that?"

Ling Yun raised an eyebrow, and Qi Jingjing snuggled closer to him: "I know, it's only for you."

Ling Yun then revealed a smile; his desire for control and possession was extremely strong.

The two whispered sweet nothings until the moon was bright and the stars were few, then he held Qi Jingjing's soft body and slowly fell asleep.

Chapter 14 A Chance to Intercept a Spoiled Opportunity [Bonus Chapter for Boss Lin]

While the two were fast asleep, Zheng Xi was still busy with things on Huahai Road.

Just now, a person claiming to be a concerned citizen compiled all the information about Zhang Yang and Cao Wang, the owner of Dingsheng Business KTV, colluding with the Japanese, printed it out in black and white, and delivered it to her office.

She flipped through it and saw that although Zhang Yang hadn't gone too far, the nature of the crime was no less egregious. He had even crippled a poor, innocent man who was raising his daughter alone. After the man became disabled and was hospitalized, his ten-year-old daughter had to beg on the streets to survive.

Although he was only involved and it doesn't mean he was the one who used excessive force, he was still involved!

All this information had accurate sources, down to the man's hospital and ward, as well as the girl's information, which infuriated Zheng Xi.

Her hands, gripping the paper, were trembling slightly; she longed to rush into the interrogation room and beat Zhang Yang up.

Inside the interrogation room, the officers questioned the two separately, eventually realizing it was just a simple, unexpected incident with no possibility of premeditation. However, the stall owner refused to settle, insisting that Zhang Yang apologize and pay compensation. Zhang Yang, with his fiery temper, refused to agree. Although his facial injuries had been treated, they were still quite gruesome. He viciously demanded compensation from Ling Er, and Zheng Xi finally decided to detain them for 24 hours.

The two sat on the bench, staring at each other. Even Zhang Yang couldn't tell that the other person was Ling Yun's, and he kept saying how unlucky he was.

He was waiting for his boss, Cao Wang, to come and take him away, little did he know that his boss was about to sell him off.

"This idiot, how did he get involved with Young Master Ling!" Cao Wang smashed a wine bottle, making his confidants nearby hold their breath.

"Boss, Manager Zhang is still here..."

"Fuck you!" Cao Wang glared at the man who spoke. "Are you blind? We bought this land from Chairman Su through connections and begging. Do you think I have enough influence to ask him to release the people?"

The other hall masters exchanged glances, not daring to say anything rash, lest they offend Cao Wang, who was in a fit of anger.

“Send out the employees under that idiot Zhang Yang, and you can take over them yourselves.”

Upon hearing this, the "brothers" who had initially felt indignant on Zhang Yang's behalf immediately beamed with joy and readily agreed.

Brotherhood is nothing in the face of profit! It's the 21st century now, who still cares about loyalty? Who's going to stick with you if you don't have money?

Cao Wang gave up his arrogance, but fate took a turn, and he still fulfilled his destiny in another way.

Soon, his opportunity arrived.

A middle-aged man walked into the law enforcement station. Upon seeing him, the officers all stood up straight and greeted him, "Chief Liu!"

"Yes, you guys have worked hard overtime!"

Director Liu walked up to Zheng Xi with a smile, and the policewoman saluted him, saying, "You've arrived."

"What do you mean?" He gestured towards the interrogation room.

"This wasn't a big deal, just an accidental fight. But this guy wasn't as strong as people said; he fought to a draw with a small stall owner."

"Oh?" Director Liu smiled, not taking it seriously. He glanced at Zhang Yang, then turned back to Zheng Xi and said, "I think this kid has some ability. He's not a very bad person, and he's not beyond redemption. Perhaps there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future."

Zheng Xi was stunned upon hearing this, and looked at Director Liu incredulously: "What did you say? Let him! An uneducated and idle person, cooperate with us?"

"Zhang Yang is still a college student and hasn't committed any particularly egregious acts. He can still be educated and reformed!"

"I disagree!" Zheng Xi refused Director Liu without saying a word. She took out the stack of documents and handed them to him, saying, "Look at what he's done!"

Director Liu frowned, took the document, and began to read it. After a long while, he said in a deep voice, "Is this all true?"

“There are photos taken by witnesses, and for those without photos, the time and location are noted, which can be viewed using the corresponding surveillance footage.”

Director Liu's face was very grim. With the irrefutable evidence before him, he already knew Zhang Yang's true character.

"Oh, right, there's also tonight's video." Seeing that the director seemed to have given up, Zheng Xi breathed a sigh of relief, opened WeChat, and showed him the video that Ling Yun had sent her.

After he finished reading, he was about to return the phone to Zheng Xi when he suddenly noticed the note.

"Ling Yun?"

"Yes, the witnesses tonight were a young couple. Zhang Yang was originally planning to attack them, but this stall owner happened to pass by..."

"Xiao Zheng, could you take a look at these photos posted by Ling Yun?"

Liu Lanshan was getting on in years and wasn't very familiar with operating these electronic devices, so he handed her his phone.

Although Zheng Xi found it strange, she still opened Ling Yun's WeChat Moments and found his few photos. When she saw the group photo of Ling Yun and Su Qingya's family, Liu Lanshan's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

It really was that person...

"That Ling... cough cough, what's the relationship between Ling Yun and Zhang Yang?"

"The discord seems to stem from Lingyun's girlfriend."

“This Zhang Yang…” Liu Lanshan pondered for a moment, “Well, let’s release them both tomorrow, then send someone to follow Zhang Yang, find out their location, and catch them all in one fell swoop when the operation begins!”

Zheng Xi wasn't stupid; she quickly realized that Ling Yun was no ordinary person, but on the surface, she still obediently replied, "Yes!"

[Congratulations, Master, for intercepting Zhang Yang's major opportunity! Your luck value has been reduced by 150 points!]

Ling Yun was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly woken up by Xiao Na. He looked up slightly, completely bewildered.

"What the hell? How did he steal the opportunity? His luck value isn't even in the triple digits yet, is it?"

Yes, my dearest master!

Before Ling Yun could even process what was happening, Xiao Na briefly explained the situation. He slapped his forehead and muttered, "All I did was ask Ling Da and Ling San to find evidence of his wrongdoings, and it's backfired!"

[Actually, this also has to do with the owner's luck!]

"Luck? Do I also have luck points?" Ling Yun asked, somewhat puzzled.

Right, even the "protagonist" has a luck value, so why shouldn't I, the big villain, have one?

[The master's current luck value is 99999, bound to this system, cannot be weakened, and cannot be unbound upon death.]

"Even if you die, you won't be untied?"

【Yes, it is. 】

It was fortunate that Ling Yun wasn't fully awake yet, otherwise he would have definitely questioned Xiao Na about what she had said. But hearing that Zhang Yang had lost his greatest opportunity, Ling Yun's unease gradually dissipated. It seemed that with his own luck, things would turn out unexpectedly, and an invisible force would help him.

He glanced at Qi Jingjing, who was fast asleep beside him, hugged her delicate body, and kissed her on the cheek.

Qi Jingjing hummed twice and then continued to sleep in his arms.

"Xiao Na, who is your creator?" Ling Yun asked calmly, as if he was ready to face the truth.

[Him? He's a very capable and interesting person. Despite his immense power, he's still content with a carefree life, leaving me behind to find someone "destined" for him.]

"So he's a higher being?"

One of the lolis inside the rune changed into a gothic dress and turned her hair white. She quietly watched Ling Yun's feigned composure, and her expression softened as well.

【Yes. 】

Master, Xiaona will always be your Xiaona...

Chapter 15 Tenderness

The next morning, Lingyun stretched comfortably.

He had no classes this morning, so he could stay in bed a little longer. He held Qi Jingjing in his arms, a slight smile playing on his lips.

These days are completely different from before.

He seemed to have asked Xiaona some questions last night, but his memory became hazy afterwards, and he couldn't remember anything.

Oh well, if I don't remember, I don't remember. It probably wasn't anything important anyway.

The thought that Zhang Yang's luck value was now down to only 40 points, rendering him incapable of causing any further trouble, filled him with joy. Even if Zhang Yang were left unchecked, he'd likely end up in jail anyway. Ling Yun didn't even consider special abilities like combat proficiency; he might be interested in ancient martial arts proficiency. Besides, he had three men in black; he wouldn't be personally involved in the fight!

Qi Jingjing also woke up. Seeing Ling Yun's thoughtful expression, she kissed him on the cheek and said, "Good morning, Ling Yun!"

Good morning, baby.

Upon hearing the word "baby," Qi Jingjing instantly recalled their passion from the previous night, and her cheeks flushed red.

"I'm going to wash up." Seeing Ling Yun about to kiss her, Qi Jingjing quickly covered her mouth. "If you don't brush your teeth, it'll smell!"

Ling Yun's breath smelled pleasant, without any signs of being left overnight, but Qi Jingjing was worried that she might make Ling Yun uncomfortable, so she got up to go to the bathroom.

But as soon as she took a step, her face twitched, as if she had aggravated some kind of wound.

"are you OK?"

Qi Jingjing frowned slightly and stammered, "Bang bang bang..."

"You rest first, I'll go buy some ointment!"

He kissed Qi Jingjing several times without any hesitation before putting on his clothes, washing up quickly, and then taking his phone to the pharmacy downstairs.

Following his memory, Lingyun found the ointment.

Just as he finished buying the medicine and was about to go upstairs, he suddenly saw Zhang Yang with dark circles under his eyes.

"Oh, you're back so early?"
