“The Lin family?”
Hearing this, Bai Sixuan looked back at Lin Huanhuan with some confusion, only to see Lin Huanhuan wearing a similarly contemplative expression.
‘What’s going on? Since when did my family gain such an ally? Why don’t I know about this? Logically, someone should have come to notify me about something like this.’
Unable to figure it out, Lin Huanhuan simply stopped thinking about it and shouted sharply, “What kind of relatives are you trying to claim? I’ve never heard of the Lin family having an ally like your Chen family. Who are you trying to fool?”
Chen Feng hurriedly explained, “That’s because you’re ill-informed — “
Just as he said this, a terrifying killing intent erupted from Bai Sixuan’s calm eyes, scaring him into immediately shutting his mouth.
“You saw it just now. I risked everything to win that Quenching Bead because I planned to gift it to the Lin family! I intended to use this treasure as a stepping stone to establish a beneficial relationship. At that time, becoming allies would naturally be the next logical step!”
“So, you can’t touch me! Otherwise, you’ll be making an enemy of the Lin family, and you’ll all die horrible deaths!”
Hearing this, the corner of Lin Huanhuan’s mouth twitched. She confirmed once again that this villainous-looking guy was not very bright.
‘He knows he hasn’t even established an alliance yet, and the gift he intends to give is still on his person, yet he dares to say it out loud so blatantly. What’s the difference between this and a small child holding gold while walking past a bandit’s den? Isn’t this just inviting someone to commit a crime?’
‘It would be fine to act now, but it wouldn’t be as satisfying.’ Faced with this situation, the mischievous streak in Lin Huanhuan’s heart began to grow unrestrained. ‘I might as well let him go first. I wonder what kind of expression he’ll have when he finds out my identity later. It should be very interesting.’
‘That’s what I’ll do. Now, the only problem I need to solve is how to persuade Bai Sixuan.’
Thinking of this, Lin Huanhuan stepped forward and tugged at Bai Sixuan’s sleeve, whispering, “Sister Bai, there’s something I want to tell you.”
Bai Sixuan looked down. Seeing the timid expression on her face and the way her body shifted uneasily, her own fair face couldn’t help but redden slightly, and she quickly nodded in agreement.
They walked to a corner further inside, where Lin Huanhuan chose to reveal a part of the truth. “Sister Bai, actually, I am that young lady of the Lin family. I’m sorry for lying to you before. You won’t mind, will you?”
Bai Sixuan’s expression remained unchanged as she gave a soft smile. “Of course I don’t mind. After all, we just met, and I didn’t ask about your background. How can that be considered lying?”
“That’s true.” Lin Huanhuan nodded and then asked, “But Sister Bai, why aren’t you surprised at all? Don’t tell me you already guessed it?”
Facing Lin Huanhuan’s questioning voice, Bai Sixuan nodded and admitted frankly, “I did guess part of it. After all, your clothing and your temperament are different from ordinary people, and your knowledge is also extraordinary.”
Lin Huanhuan’s tone became somewhat resentful. “So, I’ve been trying so hard to hide my feelings this whole time, but I was just performing for thin air? When I think about how Sister Bai knew the truth while I was still trying to act, it’s quite funny, isn’t it?”
Bai Sixuan was startled by those words and quickly explained, “No, no, you’ve misunderstood. I didn’t mean I was standing aside watching you perform and then laughing at you without restraint. I just thought that you looked very interesting like that, so I watched…”
“Ah, no, no, no! I saw how hard you were performing, and I was worried that exposing you would make you feel embarrassed, so I didn’t dare to speak up. Yes, that’s exactly how it was.”
Lin Huanhuan couldn’t help but complain silently in her heart: ‘Isn’t that the same thing?’
However, seeing Bai Sixuan explain herself so earnestly, the corners of Lin Huanhuan’s lips still curled up slightly. ‘Even though we haven’t known each other long, this feeling is quite comfortable.’
“I see. Then I suppose I misunderstood Sister Bai.”
Lin Huanhuan spoke with a smile, and Bai Sixuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. “As long as the explanation is clear.”
Lin Huanhuan added, “I have a plan. Anyway, this fat man is definitely going to the Lin family, and with his status, it’s impossible for him to see my father. So, there’s a high probability he’ll go to see my sister.”
“I want to play a trick on him. Can we spare his life for now? Don’t worry, I won’t let him off the hook.”
“Of course. If you think it’s okay, Huanhuan, then it’s fine,” Bai Sixuan said with a smile.
Ever since the two of them went off to discuss things, Chen Feng had fallen into a state of extreme panic and anxiety, worrying about what would happen if he died.
‘No, I don’t want to die yet! I haven’t done enough evil things! How can I die here?!’
‘But what if they come out and want to kill me? They shouldn’t dare, but what if they do…?’
Just as his mind was wandering, Lin Huanhuan and Bai Sixuan finally walked back out.
Bai Sixuan said coldly, “For the sake of the Lin family, I’ll spare your life this time. If I ever catch you doing evil again in the future, I will show no mercy!”
Hearing that he wouldn’t be killed, Chen Feng’s hunched back immediately straightened. He was about to say a few more words of trash talk to bolster his momentum and regain some face, but when he met Bai Sixuan’s abyss-like gaze, he instantly chickened out again.
‘Forget it, forget it. I’ll cling to the Lin family’s support first. It won’t be too late to bring more experts to get my revenge next time. With my status, why should I put myself in danger? It’s not worth it at all!’
Seeing that he didn’t dare to speak, Lin Huanhuan and Bai Sixuan didn’t stay any longer. They walked out of the alley together, then said their goodbyes and went their separate ways.
Once Chen Feng saw those two loathsome women leave, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief. A moment later, his face was once again filled with ferocity. He looked at the guards still lying on the ground with a vicious gaze, strode forward, and began to kick them one by one, treating them completely as if they weren’t human.
He hadn’t dared to make a sound against those two women, but against these loyal guards who didn’t dare to betray him, he wasn’t so polite. He struck them heavily to vent his anger. Regardless, since the contracts for these guards were still with the Chen family, he didn’t fear them running away!
As he beat them, he cursed, “It’s all because of you useless beasts! I spend so much money to raise you, yet you can’t even beat one woman! Fake! You’re faking it! I’ll make you fake it some more!”
“You get hit once and you can’t get up. Why don’t you just die instead of wailing here?!”
Faced with his merciless punches and kicks, the group of guards could only protect their vital spots. They had bitterness they couldn’t voice, and though their chests were filled with rage, they had no way to vent it.
Eventually, Chen Feng’s strength was exhausted, and he finally stopped. Only then did the guards escape their misery and find a moment to catch their breath.
After venting his anger, Chen Feng had no desire to continue teaching them a lesson and left the alley immediately. As for whether these guards lived or died, it was none of his concern.
After returning to the Chen family home, someone immediately came to report, “Young Master, the Master wants you to take the Quenching Bead to the Lin family’s base immediately. He has already gone there ahead of you and is waiting for you.”
Hearing this, Chen Feng couldn’t help but feel overjoyed. ‘It seems I can get close to the Lin family ahead of schedule and take my revenge on those women!’
