At that moment, having arrived outside the Ye family estate and preparing to drive away, Chen Lin was still furious.
He had been cursing the entire way.
All of it directed at Bai Jinghong.
But just then, he suddenly heard a commotion behind him.
Chen Lin couldn’t help but turn to look.
He saw a large group of bodyguards swarming towards him.
Chen Lin was puzzled. “Could it be the Old Master’s illness relapsed, and they’ve come to beg me to go back and treat him?”
Chen Lin suddenly felt a surge of excitement. It must be.
How could that idiot Bai Jinghong possibly know how to treat illness!
Just as a smirk was forming on his lips, the bodyguards over there suddenly whipped out telescoping batons, and with a furious shout: “Beat him!”
“Damn?”
The first man lunged straight for Chen Lin.
Zi Yue was also confused and subconsciously moved to intervene.
But to her surprise, the bodyguards completely ignored her and swarmed towards Chen Lin.
The scene instantly became chaotic, with punches and kicks flying.
Chen Lin was truly dumbfounded. Things were the complete opposite of what he thought. Why were these people attacking him?
But Chen Lin had no time to consider it now.
He immediately retaliated and started fighting back.
But the fatal thing was, Chen Lin’s gunshot wounds from Bai Jinghong’s attack hadn’t healed yet. Fighting back now, he was hampered and his strength was greatly reduced.
Any large movement made his wounds ache.
In just over ten seconds, he’d already been hit several times by the batons.
These bodyguards were aiming to beat him to death!
Chen Lin felt utterly humiliated. The dignified War God Hades, a Profound Level Mid-stage expert, was getting beaten up by bodyguards.
Right then, ignoring his wounds, his Energy Qi burst forth like raging waves.
Not all the bodyguards were martial artists; some couldn’t withstand Chen Lin’s Energy Qi blast.
Zi Yue originally wanted to help, but one bodyguard said to her, “Miss, don’t be afraid, we’re not after you!”
This made Zi Yue too embarrassed to intervene.
Helplessly, Zi Yue couldn’t just stand by and watch Chen Lin get beaten. She immediately started her car, pulled Chen Lin inside, and sped away.
The bodyguards gave chase but couldn’t catch up, so they could only give up.
After driving some unknown distance, Chen Lin, sitting in the car, suddenly said coldly, “Stop the car!”
Zi Yue could only pull over to the roadside.
Currently, Chen Lin was a bit bruised and swollen in the face, traces of blood still below his nose, his clothes torn, looking utterly disheveled.
He was nothing like his usual formidable and domineering self.
“Tell me, did you teach Bai Jinghong the method to cure the illness?”
Chen Lin asked coldly.
Zi Yue was taken aback, not expecting to be suspected.
“I didn’t!”
Chen Lin said coldly, “Didn’t? Then what did you and Bai Jinghong talk about in the bathroom?”
“How could a worthless young master like him possibly know how to detoxify poison? If not you, then who?”
Zi Yue truly felt wronged. She had known about Bai Jinghong’s medical skill since the last time.
The skill Bai Jinghong displayed today – even she might not be able to replicate it. How could she possibly have taught him?
“I didn’t say anything to him!” Zi Yue insisted.
“You’re still lying!” Chen Lin yelled, suddenly grabbing the sleeve of Zi Yue’s shirt.
Zi Yue, angered also, shook him off. “I said I didn’t!”
“Zi Yue, don’t forget, you are a War General of the Hell Organization, and I am your superior!”
“And now you dare to deceive me?”
“Then answer me: What were you and Bai Jinghong doing in the bathroom? Why did a prodigal flunky suddenly learn medicine?”
Zi Yue froze. She couldn’t possibly speak of what happened in the bathroom.
This question was simply unanswerable.
“Ha… Fine. A treacherous, ungrateful whore. And to think I valued you so highly, even thinking one day you could become my woman!”
“I held such high expectations for you, and you conspired with that bastard to deceive me!”
Chen Lin’s string of setbacks had burned away most of his reason, and his words were merciless!
Zi Yue felt like vomiting. Chen Lin, so arrogant, so self-assured?
She also gave a cold snort. “So, you’re saying I was leeching off the Hell Organization all along?”
“If you don’t believe me, what can I do? From this day forth, we part ways. I’m leaving the Hell Organization!”
Saying this, Zi Yue moved to get out of the car!
Chen Lin grabbed her, holding her shoulders, eyes blazing with fury: “Tell me, did you betray me long ago and throw yourself into that animal Bai Jinghong’s arms?”
“I didn’t!” Zi Yue said the same three words!
“Didn’t? Still lying? Whore!”
The more Zi Yue said this, the more Chen Lin suspected, almost convincing himself it was true.
The thought that Zi Yue had truly fallen into Bai Jinghong’s embrace… at this, fury surged to his head.
He raised his hand and slapped Zi Yue across the face.
This slap was not light. Zi Yue was struck sideways, a faint trace of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.
But Zi Yue’s eyes only showed complete resignation. She simply chuckled lightly, raised her hand to wipe the blood, and directly stepped out of the car!
“Back then, the Hell Organization gave me a place to belong. But over these years, I’ve also made quite a few contributions for them!”
“From today onwards, everything is settled. We’ll act as if we never met!”
Having said that, Zi Yue turned and walked away directly without the slightest hesitation.
Watching Zi Yue’s silhouette disappear into the distance, Chen Lin went mad, smashing the car’s center console repeatedly.
Smashing while roaring furiously!
“Whore! Whore! You dare betray me! I’ll have you dead!”
Zi Yue was gone. He still had to drive himself.
After cursing for a long while, he finally sat in the driver’s seat and drove with one hand towards the Underworld Win Group.
His wounds were torn open and had to be stitched up again.
……
On the other side, Bai Jinghong had silently slipped away from the Ye family.
This was intentional on his part.
The Ye family would surely have wanted to keep him, but he left quietly without a word.
Giving people the impression of “I came solely to treat the Old Master’s illness, asking for nothing else.”
Such indifference to fame and fortune, seeking no reward, would definitely make the Ye family even more grateful.
If he had stayed at the Ye house, they would have entertained him enthusiastically, and he would have chatted a lot with the Ye family.
Ye Qingke would also have sought him out to talk.
But that was not Bai Jinghong’s goal.
Moreover, Bai Jinghong also wanted to give Ye Qingke a buffer period.
Before their next meeting, Ye Qingke would basically be thinking about today’s events and the words he said.
As long as she kept thinking, he would leave a deeper impression in Ye Qingke’s heart.
The next meeting would then become something Ye Qingke looked forward to.
Bai Jinghong had quite a bit of research in psychology.
Mainly because the old Bai Jinghong was too much of a bastard, doing too many appalling things. Bai Ruoxi thought her brother had some psychological issues.
She had found a psychologist to examine Bai Jinghong.
The result was the psychologist nearly got a neurological condition from Bai Jinghong instead.
Bai Jinghong, however, did learn a lot of the psychologist’s knowledge.
Music played in the car as Bai Jinghong hummed along, driving cheerfully, in a wonderful mood.
“System, reward? Did the plan to screw over Chen Lin fail?”
Bai Jinghong was a bit puzzled.
This time he slapped Chen Lin’s face and also spoiled Chen Lin’s scheme.
How could the System not give him a reward?
[Ding, Host, don’t worry. The reward is brewing and will be issued soon.]
Bai Jinghong couldn’t help but suspect this system was holding something back.
But the next second, he didn’t have the mind to question the system.
Because he spotted a familiar figure.
That silhouette was all alone, looking somewhat desolate.
“Holy shit! My precious Yue’er!”
The person Bai Jinghong saw was Zi Yue.
He immediately tossed the system to the back of his mind, floored the gas pedal, and stopped at the roadside in front of Zi Yue.
Bai Jinghong opened the car door and ran up in front of Zi Yue.
But Zi Yue seemed not to notice Bai Jinghong, still preoccupied with some problem.
And so, she walked directly into Bai Jinghong’s chest.
“Uh… Sorry!”
Zi Yue apologized, but without looking at the person, she sidestepped and continued walking.
Bai Jinghong was also confused. What was wrong with Zi Yue?
He walked straight up and wrapped his arms around her, holding Zi Yue in his embrace.
