Lin Mushu pinched Lin Haochen hard on the waist, and the two finally separated from their hug.
“Hmph.
So you’ll never leave me, huh?
What, are you never going to get married?”
Lin Mushu teased, but the thought of Lin Haochen eventually marrying another woman left a sour feeling inside.
But Lin Haochen just grinned cheekily and said, “Who says I have to leave you just because I get married, Sis?
Besides, worst case, I just won’t get married.
I’ll spend my whole life with you!”
Lin Mushu smacked him lightly on the head in exasperation.
“Stop being ridiculous!
You have to carry on the Lin Family name.
How can you not get married?
Honestly!”
“Then I’ll just marry you, Sis!
That would make us doubly—OW!
Sis, I’m sorry, let go!
You’re going to pull my ear off!”
Lin Mushu’s painful retaliation cut him off mid-sentence.
“Alright, let’s get home.
Before more of them show up.”
Lin Mushu pulled Lin Haochen, hurrying him into the car.
Even though he had driven them off, she was afraid they would come back with reinforcements.
But just then, two massive explosions erupted behind them.
The sound startled Lin Mushu so much that she spun around and threw her arms around Lin Haochen.
Holding Lin Mushu, Lin Haochen couldn’t help but break into a goofy smile.
‘I never thought I’d see this side of my sister.
She was never like this, not even when we were kids.’
“What…
what was that noise?”
When the noise died down, Lin Mushu finally asked, her voice hesitant.
“Probably a car crash behind us.
Nothing to worry about.
Let’s go.”
As he spoke, Lin Haochen opened the passenger door for Lin Mushu.
Once she was in, he got into the driver’s seat and headed for home.
On the way, they passed the scene of an accident.
The wrecked vehicles were the very same two cars that had been following them just moments before.
As they drove past, Lin Mushu simply called the police but didn’t stop.
In Lin Mushu’s eyes, those men had it coming.
Before long, the two of them arrived back at the villa on Celestial Lake Island.
The evening had been tumultuous, but the outcome was a good one.
Not only had they secured a larger contract in the Celestial Valley Exchange project, but more importantly, the share they obtained had originally belonged to the Zhao Family.
But it was a given that the Muchen Group would now face retaliation from the Zhao Family and the Wansheng Group.
The company’s crisis was far from over.
After returning to the villa, Lin Mushu showered and then worked for another hour before finally going to bed.
She hadn’t built the Muchen Group of today on sheer luck; it was a testament to her own hard work and talent.
Meanwhile, after they had returned, Bei Mu, with two dogs in tow, had located Liu Hong in the middle of a tryst at a hotel.
The moment Bei Mu appeared, the woman on Liu Hong’s bed wrapped herself in a bathrobe and fled.
Liu Hong, however, was right on the edge, at the absolute point of no return.
“These two dogs are a special gift, just for you.”
After letting the dogs in, Bei Mu shut the door and stood guard outside it himself.
‘Tonight, Liu Hong will be spending it with these two dogs!’
With the King of Ice overseeing things, no one could save Liu Hong tonight.
Trapped inside, Liu Hong tried to push the door open, but it wouldn’t budge.
He collapsed to the floor in despair.
The drug in his system had reached its peak, and he was no longer in control of his body.
As his consciousness blurred, his gaze finally settled on the two dogs.
…
「The next morning, seven o’clock.」
After a simple breakfast, Lin Mushu saw that Lin Haochen was still asleep.
She left a bank card and a note on the table before heading out.
The moment Lin Mushu turned away, Lin Haochen opened his eyes and smiled at her retreating back.
‘It feels so good to have family close.’
But the thought also ignited a fire in his heart.
‘The Zhao Family of Jin City, and whoever is behind them…
they must all pay the price for what they did five years ago.’
Lin Haochen got up, picked up the note from the bedside table, and couldn’t help but smile.
‘So Sis wants me to go buy a car myself!
Even though I have plenty of luxury cars that people have given me, none of them could compare to one bought with money from her!’
‘Guess I’ll go pick out a car this morning.’
Before long, Lin Haochen arrived at a car dealership.
It was nine in the morning, and they had just opened.
He was the first customer of the day.
The saleswoman who came to greet him was a woman of about twenty-six, dressed in a professional skirt suit, black nylons, and high heels.
She had a nice figure, but her heavy makeup and overpowering perfume put Lin Haochen off a little.
‘As expected, my sister is the most beautiful woman in the world.
And she doesn’t douse herself in perfume.
She just has this light, fresh scent that’s so refreshing.’
Feng Anyan was in the middle of a yawn when she saw Lin Haochen walk in.
She approached him reluctantly.
‘He’s kind of handsome,’ she thought, ‘but nothing he’s wearing is designer.
He’s probably just here to window shop.’
‘People who waste my time are the worst.’
“Here to buy a car?” Feng Anyan asked, her tone sharp.
“Yeah.”
Lin Haochen replied with a single word and walked further into the showroom, paying no mind to her attitude.
Seeing his cold demeanor as he walked into the showroom, Feng Anyan scoffed internally, the corner of her mouth twitching in annoyance.
‘This broke loser.
Small wallet, big attitude.’
‘And he didn’t even give me a second glance.
Who does he think he is, pretending to be some kind of saint?’
Feng Anyan cursed Lin Haochen a thousand times in her head, her thoughts drifting to when her boyfriend was coming to pick up that G-Wagon today.
Lin Haochen walked into the showroom and glanced around.
While these cars could be considered high-end, they were a far cry from the vehicles he’d been gifted by others.
‘Might as well just pick one at random.
After all, Sis gave me a mission, and I have to complete it.’
“I’ll take this black G-Wagon.”
Lin Haochen said, casually pointing at the Mercedes to his left.
His tone made it sound less like he was buying a luxury car and more like he was picking out vegetables at the market.
