“Damn it! These ungrateful dogs!”
With a loud bang, Lin Hua furiously swept everything off the table onto the floor. After just one night, he looked as if he had aged ten years—his face was twisted, his expression fierce and terrifying, and his hair was dry and messy.
Ever since Mo Cinian publicly announced at Lin Zhentian’s funeral that he would deal with the Lin family, all of Lin Corporation’s business partners had turned against them overnight, leaving the Lin family completely isolated.
Without Mo Cinian even needing to lift a hand, Lin Corporation would collapse within a month or two.
“That damn slut Lin Qingqiu! I should’ve just killed you along with your parents back then.”
“And that little bastard Mo Cinian, how did I ever offend you? Why are you targeting me? Wasn’t I humble enough?”
Perhaps Lin Hua would never understand… Mo Cinian had never once regarded him as worth his attention. After all… destroying you had nothing to do with you personally.
“There has to be a way out.”
“Lin Corporation just came into my hands. I absolutely cannot let it go bankrupt!”
While he was anxiously racking his brain, there was a knock on the door.
“Who is it? Get lost!”
“Boss, it’s me, Wang Zheng!” It was one of Lin Hua’s trusted aides.
“If it’s not important, you can get out right now!”
“Boss, this file… was just given to me by Chen Jiu, the one beside Young Master Mo. He told me to hand it to you… I feel like Young Master Mo might just be bluffing. I doubt he’ll really take action against Lin Corporation.”
Hearing this, Lin Hua calmed down slightly.
He took the brown paper envelope and nodded, forcing himself to stay composed, “Exactly, just as I thought! Mo Cinian must be putting on a show for Lin Qingqiu’s sake. After all, our Lin Corporation is worth two to three hundred million yuan. He wouldn’t really destroy us just for a woman… Let me take a look.”
A faint relief appeared on Lin Hua’s face.
Yes! That had to be it.
However… when he opened the envelope and saw the contents inside, he froze on the spot, his eyes filled with disbelief. His body trembled violently, shaking like a leaf.
“N-no way!”
“These photos… where did these photos come from?”
“How did Mo Cinian get these? I had already cleaned up everything back then!”
Then, as if realizing something, he suddenly lifted his head, his bloodshot eyes glaring fiercely at the man who delivered the file.
“It’s you! Wang Zheng, you betrayed me?”
Seeing Lin Hua’s crazed appearance, Wang Zheng was bewildered.
“Boss, I didn’t! I would never betray you!”
Lin Hua slammed the file onto the table.
Wang Zheng picked up a few photos and, upon seeing them, his face immediately turned pale.
“Boss, these photos… where did they come from?”
Lin Hua sneered coldly, “Heh… didn’t you bring them? Not many people knew about this matter—you were one of them. Now you betray me?”
Wang Zheng shook his head desperately.
“No… it wasn’t me! Boss, you know I’m not that kind of person.”
“Mm~ I believe you. I was just testing you. Now I have to consider my escape.”
The fury on Lin Hua’s face vanished instantly, his tone changing abruptly.
Wang Zheng let out a breath of relief.
“Boss, I’ll go book a plane ticket for you. You definitely can’t stay in the Dragon Country anymore. You should sell off your stocks for cash quickly… The evidence hasn’t reached the police yet, so it’s best to run while you can.”
“Mm~” Lin Hua nodded, but his eyes darkened.
As Wang Zheng turned to leave, a fierce glint flashed in Lin Hua’s eyes.
He grabbed a vase from the table and smashed it over Wang Zheng’s head.
Bang!!!
Without even a chance to resist, Wang Zheng crumpled to the ground.
Still unsatisfied, Lin Hua picked up a chair.
“You really thought I’m an idiot? You damn traitor… betraying me!”
“I only told one person about the murder, and you had the nerve to leak the evidence of my hired hit! And you dare to show your face here?”
“Bah!”
Feeling it wasn’t enough, Lin Hua smashed the chair down on Wang Zheng’s head over and over.
Soon, Wang Zheng was utterly lifeless, his head smashed like a burst watermelon, blood splattered everywhere.
Lin Hua panted heavily.
It wasn’t his first time killing someone.
But this time… it felt particularly satisfying.
Since the murder evidence had already been exposed and he had to flee anyway, he might as well eliminate the traitor first.
…
“Hiss… it really hurts!”
Back at the dormitory, Lin Qingqiu was completely listless. Find the original chapter at novelping.com.
She had been tormented terribly by Mo Cinian the previous night.
Now, all she wanted was to find a little bed and sleep. Besides, Mo Cinian had promised… that Lin Hua’s family would live a fate worse than death.
At this point, she could only choose to trust Mo Cinian.
She understood she had boarded a pirate ship.
But there was no turning back anymore.
“Wuwuwu~~~ Qiuqiu, you’re finally back!”
Su Momo was in the dorm putting on makeup when she saw Lin Qingqiu return and got excited.
The other two roommates also turned their heads.
In the corner of the dorm, a girl wearing round glasses was holding a pen, solving some equations. She also looked up and adjusted her glasses.
If Mo Cinian were here, he would definitely recognize her.
Duan Weiwei!
Yes!
The second female lead and the first female lead were… incredibly enough, living in the same dormitory?
Duan Weiwei gave Lin Qingqiu a slight smile. Su Momo had already informed them of Lin Qingqiu’s grandfather’s passing, so silence was the best response now.
“Hmm? Wait! Qingqiu, I smell a man on you!”
Su Momo was sharp and noticed something wrong the moment Lin Qingqiu walked in.
“Ah??? I… I didn’t!”
Su Momo sighed deeply. Seeing Lin Qingqiu wearing a high-neck sweater in the middle of a hot day, she already understood everything.
“It must be that dog Mo guy! Too despicable~~~”
Duan Weiwei, as usual, stayed quietly in the background. But ever since that night at Moonlight, her mind had been in turmoil.
She hadn’t gone back to work at Moonlight for two days now.
Both female leads were burdened with heavy thoughts.
Just then—
“Is Lin Qingqiu from Dorm 104 here?”
A voice came from outside the door.
“She’s here! She’s here!”
“There’s someone downstairs named Jiang Yang looking for you.”
