Lin Yuxia had no time to argue, so she simply turned to the side and pulled him in front of her, introducing him generously: "Dad, you know him too. He hasn't eaten yet because of the free clinic today, so I brought him back for a meal. I hope he won't cause any problems."
Bai Yue was forced to look directly at the Zhalak people in front of her. She steeled herself and gave a sweet smile: "Uncle Lin, good evening."
Gala——
Lin Gerui's cane made a strange sound, but as the Dragon Gate Rat King who had practiced for over 25 years, he kept a straight face and even showed a gentle smile:
"Oh, it's Xiaoyue. Good evening. Free clinics are a good thing. It's no big deal to come here for a simple meal. It's just an extra set of chopsticks and a bowl."
Bai Yue maintained her smile: "Then I'll take my leave."
Lin Yuxia nudged him: "What are you standing there like an idiot at the door? Hurry up and go inside."
Bai Yue took two steps and officially entered the room.
The living room is clean and tidy, with furniture made of mahogany that is understated yet sophisticated. Modern appliances blend in well with the environment without looking out of place.
International news was being broadcast on a television of moderate size.
Before Bai Yue could even glance around, Lin Yuxia pushed and pulled her into the restaurant.
The first thing you see is a table that's neither too big nor too small, big enough for four people to sit around. On it are steaming hot dishes, home-style cooking, nothing fancy.
Lin Gerui walked behind, watching the two of them being so intimate, his teeth clenched so tightly they were practically cracking.
The food was served, and the three of them sat down. The atmosphere became somewhat awkward. They looked at each other, and no one picked up their chopsticks first.
After a short while, Lin Yuxia glared at her father, picked up her chopsticks first, and put a piece of pork belly on Bai Yue's plate: "Don't mind my dad, you eat first, he likes it cold."
"..."
Bai Yue looked at Lin Gerui, who was staring intently at her, and then at the meat in her bowl. She couldn't help but smile to herself. "Old Deng, you got your comeuppance for insulting me with money last time!"
Without hesitation, Bai Yue picked up her chopsticks, grabbed a piece of meat, and thanked Yuxia before eating, saying, "Thank you, Sister Yuxia." Then she ate the meat in one bite.
Although it was just home-style cooking, Bai Yue ate with gusto, watching Lin Gerui's face grow increasingly dark.
Hey, Old Deng, look how delicious my food is!
Lin Yuxia looked at him with some doubt: "Is it that delicious?"
"I love everything Sister Yuxia puts on my plate!" Bai Yue said happily. Things had come to this point, and he wasn't afraid of the Rat King anymore. He might as well unleash his true nature and eat, eat, eat!
Lin Yuxia smiled faintly: "You're so sweet-talking. Don't just eat meat, eat some vegetables too. They're all homegrown, have a taste." As she spoke, she picked up a few tender bok choy and put them into Bai Yue's bowl.
Bai Yue happily ate all the food, her rosy eyes crinkling into slits with laughter.
Watching this scene, Lin Gerui felt as if he were seeing his precious cabbage being shoved into Bai Yue's mouth, thinking, "Daughter, can't we stop giving her away?"
In his haste, he stopped eating and stood up abruptly: "Yuxia, come with me for a moment, I have something to tell you."
"Can't we talk about this after we finish eating?" Lin Yuxia put down her chopsticks, her brows furrowing slightly.
"About that," Lin Gerui said simply before walking towards the living room.
Lin Yuxia hesitated for a second, then stood up and gave Bai Yue an apologetic smile: "You eat first. My dad and I have something to discuss. Don't wait for us."
Bai Yue nodded obediently; he could roughly guess what Lin Gerui was going to say.
But what does it matter? Succubuses are like that, they can't be changed. At worst, I can just be friends with Sister Yuxia. I can't not even be friends with her, can I?
Bai Yue ate quietly, but the succubus's keen senses still allowed him to hear the distant wind in the silence:
It was the sound of a file being slammed onto the table.
"Yuxia, look at this for yourself. How many women has this guy been intimate with? He even opened a massage parlor that caters exclusively to beautiful women. And look at this... Tell me, is this guy a decent man?!"
"Dad, you don't understand!"
"*Zalak swears*, how could Dad not understand? Back in the day, Dad was a real heartthrob. There were probably just as many women who liked Dad as liked this kid. Do you think I don't know what he's thinking?"
"Dad, tell me, what were you thinking at the time? Don't worry, I won't tell Mom."
"Um... don't worry about that. Anyway, this guy is the worst of the worst, a womanizer! Yuxia, listen to your dad's advice, let go. You can't handle him! You don't want to be catching him cheating every day after you get married, do you?"
"Dad, don't worry about that. I'll keep a close eye on him from now on."
"How can you control him? If you can control him, how can you control the women outside? Yuxia, you're still young. You don't know that men are all idiots. It's no wonder they'll cheat on you if they get the chance!"
"Dad, are you like that too?"
"Me? Of course not! I swear to God, your mother has only ever been my one and only person in my life!"
"Then I am confident that he will only have me for the rest of his life."
"I...you...I..., how can you be so insensible, child!..."
Chapter 14 Rainy Night at Longmen
"It's raining. The weather is so strange."
Looking at the gloomy sky and the drizzling rain outside the corridor, Lin Yuxia's smile vanished. "Ha," she thought, "I thought there would be an after-dinner walk..."
"Mm." Bai Yue stood beside her, opening a black umbrella, and said with a smile, "Sister Yuxia, you should go back too. Uncle Lin's eyes are practically devouring me."
As he spoke, he walked past Lin Yuxia and waved to Old Lin, who was standing inside the house staring at the two of them: "Uncle Lin, I'll come again next time!"
Lin Gerui's cane and teeth were both crunching and rattling, and he didn't even give her a kind look.
Bai Yue didn't care. Anyway, she didn't sense any murderous intent from him. At most, it was just the normal anger of an old father. At worst, she could just hide behind her sister Yuxia.
"Goodbye, Sister Yuxia." Bai Yue raised her umbrella and said goodbye to the people around her.
Lin Yuxia nodded and gave a gentle smile: "The roads are slippery in the rain, so drive carefully."
"Uh-huh."
Bai Yue never found this kind of instinctive concern nagging.
Bai Yue walked along the stone path to the courtyard gate, then waved to Lin Yuxia as she turned around. She quickly ran to her van, got in with the speed of someone trying to avoid a ghost while using the restroom at night, and patted her rain-free body triumphantly.
He started the car and flashed the headlights twice in the yard as a final farewell.
......
The slums were dark at night, with little light and it was raining, making visibility extremely poor.
Bai Yue walked slowly, humming a tune that came to mind.
Suddenly, several crossbow bolts shot straight toward the windshield of the vehicle.
!!!
Bai Yue's pupils contracted, but she didn't panic too much. She calmly stepped on the gas pedal. "A mere crossbow bolt? Watch me break through it!"
bang bang-
Several sharp sounds rang out, but the crossbow bolts left no mark on the car window.
Tempered glass possesses a myriad of skills!
Bai Yue smiled smugly. As expected of the car he had modified with hundreds of thousands of Lungmen coins, it was not something that mere petty thieves could shake. He looked at the rearview mirror and could vaguely see several figures jumping onto the road.
Who?
Could it be someone sent by Uncle Lin? Bai Yue thought jokingly, but quickly ruled out that possibility. But what else could it be?
Who would cause trouble for me at this time?
Pharmaceutical company?
No way, they wouldn't invest their energy in places like slums where people have no spending power.
Gangster?
That shouldn't be the case. I have no grudge against them, and Lin Yuxia is protecting me in the slums. Who would be so blind as to ignore me?
Who would that be?
Bai Yue shook his head, not quite understanding. However, seeing the rain getting heavier, he didn't want to dwell on it. He decided to wait until he got home and tell Chen Chen and Sister Yu Xia about it.
In just a few days, I'll be able to see the culprit in the Imperial Guard's interrogation room or at Uncle Lin's house.
Just then, a dozen or so dark figures suddenly appeared on the road ahead. They were holding crossbows or other weapons, and the ground was covered with fine triangular nails, which reflected a chilling light under the headlights.
"*Lungmen swear words*" Bai Yue was speechless. What the hell did they have to do with this? But she didn't think much about it and stepped on the gas pedal. Damn it, if you want to die, fine. Do you really think I've wasted my hundreds of thousands of Lungmen coins?
We are all living hard!
The melody flashed through Bai Yue's mind. She gripped the steering wheel tightly, a wicked smile spreading across her face. *Longmen curse* I've used so much force, will you still be alive later?
The modified van, like a raging beast, ran over the spikes all the way, leaving its specially treated tires unscathed, and even accelerating during the process.
Zhi! ! !
boom! ! !
The van slammed into them, the terrifying kinetic energy sending the two people in front of it flying. Then, it swung around in place, sweeping fiercely towards the dozen or so people blocking its way.
In an instant, Bai Yue, who was inside the car, also heard a wail.
But he had no intention of getting out of the car to finish them off, leaving them an opening. He slammed on the gas again, and with the sound of some unlucky guy's head exploding, the van accelerated smoothly and sped away into the darkness.
"whee..."
Having escaped danger, Bai Yue's first reaction was not relief or lingering fear, but rather an indescribable excitement.
I wonder how many I just ran over... Bai Yue thought to herself, and for some reason felt an urge to turn around and run them over again. Besides, she still had the Whip of Pleasure to use, hehe... She really wanted to see them covered in blood and gore.
But the thought was fleeting; he patted his cheeks and quickly came to his senses.
Don't let your emotions get the better of you. So many bosses have fallen at this stage. Staying calm is the key to victory. Think about what you should be doing right now.
If the slums are attacked, Chenchen (his family) definitely won't be able to help. Let's call Sister Yuxia.
Just do it.
Bai Yue dialed Lin Yuxia's number directly. After the call connected, before she could speak, he said in a wronged tone:
"Sister Yuxia, I was just assassinated. There were dozens of them, and they even had crossbows. They were at the xx intersection. Luckily, my car was modified, and I managed to break through their encirclement. Otherwise, I might not have been able to call you!"
After a two-second silence, Lin Yuxia replied, "I understand. You go home first, and I'll handle the rest."
Her voice was barely able to contain her anger.
"Mmm." Bai Yue answered obediently, then cursed those idiots who blocked her way in her heart. How dare they rob me! Let's see if you die this time!
Then, Bai Yue gently reminded her to be careful in everything before reluctantly hanging up the phone.
Putting aside Lin Yuxia's anger and Lin Gerui's lament about the harm caused by the 'vixen', Bai Yue dialed Chen Huijie's number again.
two seconds.
Bai Yue smiled with satisfaction at how quickly the call connected, then, before Chen Chen could speak, said in a pitiful voice, "Chen Chen, I think I just killed someone. Will I go to jail?"
"???" Chen Huijie, who had just returned home, was stunned. She was frozen for several seconds before she reacted and asked urgently, "What happened? Are you hurt?"
Bai Yue blinked and smiled happily. "You're concerned about me first in a murder case? Chen Chen, 10 points! Reward: Three sleep opportunities!"
After regaining her composure and sounding aggrieved, Bai Yue embellished the story of the attack she had just witnessed.
All that could be heard on the other end of the phone was Chen Huijie's panting. It wasn't loud, but it was rapid, and she was clearly very angry.
After a couple of seconds of calm, her voice came through the phone, gentle in tone:
"This is not your fault. The other side has already used crossbows and weapons. Your actions were entirely self-defense. It's okay. Go home and get some sleep. I will take care of the rest for you."
Having received the expected reply, Bai Yue smiled and said happily, "Yes, thank you, Chen Chen, you're so kind."
"Okay, the food's on the table. Just heat it up when you get home. Don't stay up too late tonight..."
Chen Huijie gave many instructions, and Bai Yue listened quietly while driving, a smile playing on her lips.
Chapter 15 The storm is coming
6:00 a.m.
Jingle Bell--
The familiar alarm clock broke the silence of the early morning.
Bai Yue poked her head out of Chen Huijie's arms, groggily turned off her phone, then yawned and snuggled back into her warm embrace.
Chen Huijie, who had also woken up, looked at the little devil in her arms with affection, patted his back, and said softly, "The Guard Bureau has something to do today, so we might be back late tonight. Go to sleep early and don't stay up too late, okay?"
