But Chen Lin, for all his calculations, forgot that he had already told Shen Yaoyao the truth of the matter.
However, Chen Lin didn’t spare a thought for that at the moment.
Zi Yue was quite skilled at treating gunshot wounds. Chen Lin felt little to no pain throughout the entire process.
Combined with Zi Yue’s understanding of certain drugs, the effect was practically identical to anesthesia.
After extracting the bullet, Zi Yue bandaged him up.
Chen Lin caught the intoxicating scent emanating from Zi Yue’s body, and a certain part of him reacted immediately.
He really wanted to take Zi Yue right then and there on the spot.
After the bandaging was done, Chen Lin discussed the matter of eliminating Underworld Guard Little Five with Zi Yue.
For Zi Yue, this type of task was simple.
That Underworld Guard was already seriously injured. Zi Yue could just disguise herself as a nurse and deal with it casually.
Or tamper with his food a little. Underworld Guard Little Five would die without a doubt.
“Yue’er, do you have any poisons you’ve concocted that can completely cripple a man’s… function in that area?” Chen Lin suddenly asked.
Zi Yue let out a soft chuckle. “Can be made. How badly crippled are we talking?”
Chen Lin said maliciously, “Preferably… a slow rot.”
With Shen Yaoyao staying by Bai Jinghong’s side, he truly couldn’t rest at ease.
Besides, Bai Jinghong was a notorious lecher. If that function was completely destroyed, it would be a fate worse than death.
Chen Lin wanted to slowly torment Bai Jinghong to death and finally make him watch as Chen Lin took everything the Bai family owned.
He’d heard that Bai Jinghong’s sister was also a top-tier beauty.
If he could get his hands on his sister too, Bai Jinghong would probably cough up blood and die from sheer rage.
Only that would quench the hatred in Chen Lin’s heart.
“I have something.” Zi Yue responded flatly.
“Prepare a dose, then give it to Yaoyao.”
“Hades, you’re saying Yaoyao is currently undercover, near the person you want to deal with?”
When Shen Yaoyao received this mission, she naturally knew about it.
Although they had come to Dragon Sea together, Zi Yue wouldn’t interfere with Shen Yaoyao’s mission.
“Mm. He’s a profligate young master. This drug is prepared for him.”
“Of course, if you see this person yourself, you can act on your own. After all, Yaoyao has other missions. She can’t act rashly for fear of exposure!”
As he spoke, Chen Lin opened his phone and pulled up a photo of Bai Jinghong.
Zi Yue took it and looked. Her eyes immediately lit up, and she couldn’t help but exclaim, “He’s so handsome!”
Chen Lin coughed heavily twice, almost losing his composure.
This Zi Yue was truly fixated on looks.
And she had absolutely no filter, did she? How could she say the enemy was handsome right in front of him, her boss?
“Understood, Hades. Leave this matter to me. Tomorrow, I’ll handle that traitorous Underworld Guard first.”
With that, Zi Yue swayed her hips and walked directly out of Chen Lin’s suite.
Chen Lin watched Zi Yue’s retreating figure, and the fragrant breeze her movements carried, and couldn’t help but swallow hard.
His thing down there was also standing at full attention.
The Four Golden Flowers of the Hell Organization—he had long reserved them. They all had to be his women.
No need to rush right now, though. He needed to restore his relationship with Fan Ning’er first.
After all, he truly liked Fan Ning’er, and relying on their past feelings, she was the easiest one to get intimate with first.
The common, vulgar beauties outside could only serve to vent his lust. For true, satisfying union, he needed genuine beauties.
Thinking this, Chen Lin picked up his phone and sent a message to Fan Ning’er.
“Baby, whatcha doing? Mwah~ Are you there? You asleep?”
“!”
(The other party has enabled friend verification. You are not yet their friend. Please send a friend verification request first.)
Chen Lin: “???”
“Ning’er deleted me?”
After a long silence, Chen Lin clenched his teeth and said slowly:
“I finally let my heart flutter once, yet you made me lose so thoroughly…heh heh ha ha ha… Damn it!”
Chen Lin tossed his phone onto the bed, but the movement pulled at his wound, making him grimace in pain.
—
The sky was just turning the pale white of dawn when Bai Jinghong was jolted awake by his phone vibrating on the nightstand.
“Damn it, are you sick?!” Bai Jinghong cursed.
For someone with a temper when woken, this was a cardinal sin.
Especially when he picked it up and saw it was an unfamiliar number. Bai Jinghong’s irritation became insufferable.
He answered the call and directly snarled, “Who the hell is this?!”
The person on the other end was clearly startled by Bai Jinghong’s tone.
“B- Bai… Young Master Bai, this is Mu Yanbing!”
The caller was none other than the beautiful policewoman.
“Have you lost your mind? What time is it? I’d think I was getting a call from the freaking underworld if it weren’t for caller ID.”
Mu Yanbing was also fuming.
The hell? When had she ever been yelled at like this?
If not for Director Wang ordering her to liaise more closely with Bai Jinghong, would she have to take this cursing?
But this was for the case. She held it in.
“Young Master Bai, mind your words. I’m calling to discuss the assault case.”
Bai Jinghong didn’t care at all and retorted, “Oh, you’re so great, aren’t you? So diligent? Look at the time. Even the dung collectors aren’t up as early as you.”
Mu Yanbing had been about to explode, but then she glanced at the time. It was only a little past four.
She immediately felt a bit embarrassed.
She was in the habit of rising early, but that didn’t mean others were.
Besides, she’d suddenly thought of something regarding the case and just wanted to contact Bai Jinghong to confirm it.
“Th-Then… I’ll call you later. Sorry!”
Mu Yanbing was forced to apologize first.
Bai Jinghong also sighed.
Anyway, some of the things he was planning to frame Chen Lin with still needed to go through Mu Yanbing.
The call had already come in and woken him up, so he might as well get it done.
In the original story, Mu Yanbing had fallen madly in love with Chen Lin. Even after learning he had a foreign background, she hadn’t blamed him but instead protected him.
This was a complete betrayal of her original intentions and professional duty.
It was basically destroying her own established character of “hating evil as an enemy, upholding justice.”
Now that he was here, he had to sow discord between the two and make them sworn enemies.
This police flower beauty was going to be his. Chen Lin was only fit to find a common whore here on business.
“Officer Mu, why don’t you find a breakfast shop, and I’ll come over soon. We can talk face-to-face!” Bai Jinghong’s tone mellowed.
Mu Yanbing didn’t object and agreed immediately.
Indeed, many things were more convenient to discuss in person than over the phone.
“Alright…” Mu Yanbing paused. “This number is my FlyChat ID. You can add—”
Before she could finish, Bai Jinghong preempted her. “This number is my FlyChat ID. You can add me and send the location!”
In this kind of thing, he had to seize the initiative.
After saying that, Bai Jinghong hung up directly.
Soon, a friend verification message arrived.
Bai Jinghong accepted and tapped on her profile picture.
It was a photo of Mu Yanbing in her police uniform.
It gave off a fully heroic bearing, very beautiful.
“That girl is truly top-quality. She’s mine!”
Bai Jinghong chuckled and rolled out of bed.
After a quick wash, Bai Jinghong prepared to head out.
Before leaving, Bai Jinghong specifically made a detour to Shen Yaoyao’s room.
He reached out and tried the door.
He found it wasn’t locked.
This surprised Bai Jinghong slightly.
Bai Jinghong didn’t sneak around. He walked straight in.
Shen Yaoyao, who had been fast asleep in bed, naturally sensed someone entering the room.
Out of instinct, she was about to strike.
But recognizing it was Bai Jinghong, she continued to feign sleep.
As the saying goes, you can never wake a person who’s pretending to sleep.
Shen Yaoyao was exactly that right now.
Such noise—how could it possibly not wake an assassin?
Bai Jinghong walked to the bedside, reached out, and gently brushed Shen Yaoyao’s hair.
Then he bent down and planted a tender, gentle kiss on Shen Yaoyao’s forehead.
It was as gentle as could be.
Shen Yaoyao’s palms were sweating.
Especially feeling Bai Jinghong’s kiss.
She was terrified Bai Jinghong would do something else to her.
If it came to that, would she resist by force, or…?
But thankfully, Bai Jinghong only gave that one kiss before leaving the room.
