135: Sister Xueyao, if you want to listen to fairy tales, sleep in my room tonight. - The Rich Second-Generation Villain With No Morals
"At that time, Yan Bo Sheng's life was going well, and remarkably, he recovered with the doctors' relentless efforts. But it was during this period he discovered that he had leukemia, and he wanted to share this news with his wife." "According to your instructions, Chairman, I added a small amount of cardiac arrest drugs to Yan Bo Sheng's medication." "A few months later, Yan Bo Sheng passed away. His wife had no idea that this was your doing; she simply believed it was complications from leukemia that took her father's life." "You figured Sun Lan would eventually find out, so as per your orders, I've been gradually adding cardiac arrest drugs to her medication recently." "Let Sun Lan, like her husband, pass away unknowingly in her sleep. This way, there would be no one left in the world who could tell her the truth." The recording ended. Sun Lan was already in tears, though she tried her best to suppress her crying. She was too familiar with the voice of the nurse, after all, she had been taking care of her for ten years. And the voice of Li Zhou was also recognizable, as he often visited her in the hospital. So what this recorder said was true!!! My God! How could there be such a vicious person in this world? To take Yan Er away from the family, she cruelly killed her own husband. And killing Yan Bo Sheng wasn't enough; recently, she wanted to do something to her, a terminally ill person who had been disabled for life. And the reason was simple, just to make sure that Yan Yan would forever live in ignorance. "Poor little Yan, our family had been grateful to a murderer, a beast, which led to the destruction of our family." "In order to save me and your father, you ended up taking care of a demon for ten years, wasting a decade of your youth." "I hate it. I hate myself for being too stupid, for not realising the true face of Li Zhou until now!" "In the end, it took someone else to tell me!" At this moment, Sun Lan was filled with tears, on the verge of fainting from despair. In the face of such a scene, Qi Lin was unsure how to comfort her. Because compared to this, Yan Yan's family's misfortunes were a hundred times more tragic than what he experienced in his past life. He too knew who murdered his family, harboring a purpose of revenge inside. But what about Yan Yan? What could I say to her, who treated her foe as a benefactor for ten years? "Here is another recording, documenting the truth about Aunt Sun, about your car accident." Qi Lin played another recording. "Boss, the person who injured his mother-in-law, following your instructions, I’ve sent him to Southeast Asia. He now lives there incognito, has a wife and children, and probably is living quite comfortably with the ten thousand yuan Boss gave him." "I’m confident Madam will never lay a finger on this matter in her lifetime." If... If Sun Lan had any doubts about the recorder’s words before, listening to the second one eradicated all her skepticism towards Qi Lin's words. "Devil, Li Zhou is a devil!" "He is a shameless, inhumane beast!" "I won’t let him off, even if it means my death." Lying on the hospital bed, Sun Lan couldn't move, but her eyes were bloodshot, filled with terror. "Aunt Sun, you're bedridden right now, unable to move, let alone seek revenge. Perhaps you might end up being harmed by Li Zhou soon, unable to even fight back." "What does killing Li Zhou mean to you right now?" At this moment, Qi Lin suddenly interrupted Sun Lan's lamentation towards Li Zhou. He was a scoundrel, all his deeds were for his own interest. Huamei Zixin, a future multi-billion chain medical group. It’s a company larger than the Tianlin Breeding Group. Yan Yan currently serves as the Deputy General Manager of Huamei Zixin, having substantial control over Huamei Zixin. He needs Sun Lan and her daughter to trust him completely, to rely on him as their pillar. Then, step by step, Qi Lin helped Yan Yan seize control of Huamei Zixin, devouring this enormous and delicious cake. In a man's world, there are no two words to choose from. Not only does he want to seize Li Zhou’s and Li Jia Ming’s women, but he also intends to take over their assets for Qi Lin. Finally, at the most desperate moment for Li Zhou and Li Jia Ming, let them know what he truly wants, embracing Yan Yan and Chen Shu Yi, sending that father and son into hell. Qi Lin’s words awakened Sun Lan. Her fierce expression gradually calmed down, and her mind started to clear. Indeed! I'm a wreck right now; what do I have to fight Li Zhou? On the contrary, Li Zhou might soon send someone to end her life, leaving her to die in despair. "I must tell Yan Er immediately, I need to personally expose the true face of Li Zhou." Sun Lan's gaze gradually grew determined. Suddenly, Sun Lan thought of something, she stared intently at Qi Lin, speaking in a pleading tone: "Qi Lin, since you know so many secrets, you must be quite capable, right? Can you help me? Help Yan Er, she is no match for that demon on her own, I'm bedridden now, it doesn’t matter if I die, but Yan Er is so pitiful, I can't let her suffer any more harm." Qi Lin had been waiting for this sentence from Sun Lan all along. He wanted her to see him as her only straw to clutch at. Qi Lin sighed: "Ah, but Li Zhou is very powerful, I can't just make an enemy out of him for no reason." "Aunt Sun, you probably don't know, I confessed my feelings to Yan Yan some time ago, and she scolded me, saying she only wanted to spend her life with Li Zhou." "You say, Yan Yan and I have nothing to do with each other now, and you want me to risk my life to help her, that's not realistic, is it?" Sun Lan wasn't dumb. Qi Lin came all this way to find her, even risking his life to obtain this evidence; surely he had some purpose. “It's often said beautiful women don’t bring profit, and perhaps this Qi Lin really has some interest in Yan Er, which is why he came to see me.” “Forget it, at least Qi Lin saved Yan Er’s life and risked his own to obtain these pieces of evidence, this shows at least he truly loves Yan Er.” "Yan Er has had such a hard time, I really can’t bear her suffering any more, rather than having her find a new relationship in the future, just let her choose a man who loves her." Thinking of this, Sun Lan smiled at Qi Lin and said: "You just want to call me mom, don't you?" "You may be younger, but my Yan Er can be quite fierce; don’t mind her being older than you." Qi Lin's dark eyes sparkled at this moment. Haha, he finally got what he wanted. As long as Sun Lan regards him as her son-in-law, the two of them would wholly rely on him in the future. "Mom, don't worry." "Daring to kill your husband and my father-in-law, Li Zhou and I are sworn enemies now." "Soon enough, I will make sure to ensure everything concerning that dog is messed up, and make him come to your bedside to kowtow and apologize." Qi Lin's lips curled into a slight grin, as if giving Sun Lan a promise. Having achieved the goal of this trip, Qi Lin prepared to leave. But before leaving, he specifically reminded Sun Lan. "Mom, when you tell Yan Yan the truth, make sure to be wary of eavesdroppers, and keep Yan Yan calm, don’t allow her to conflict with Li Zhou." "This old fox is very cunning, once he is alerted, it will be very hard to defeat him." "After that, have Yan Yan come find me, we’ll couple up and definitely bring Li Zhou to his knees in defeat." "Pft~” Now, Sun Lan's only hope for revenge rested on Qi Lin. Hearing Qi Lin's amusing remarks, she restrained her laughter, saying, "Alright, mom will remember your words." Quietly exiting the hospital, Qi Lin finally drove home, ending a busy day. Who said a villain could stay home idle and still plan everything? The real world is far more sinister than imagined. Many things have to be done by Qi Lin himself step by step to achieve foolproof results. There may be many protagonists in the world, but there is only one true antagonist of fate, and that is Qi Lin. Therefore, the road to true domination of the world is long and difficult. When Qi Lin returned home. Coincidentally, the lights in the living room were still on. Qi Xue Yao was hugging a pillow, in a daze. She originally wanted to watch TV, but that scoundrel Qi Lin told her that watching TV was bad for the baby, so she endured it. As for waiting here for Qi Lin, it was because he said something before he went out. "When I come back tonight, I'll tell you a story about our baby." Originally, Qi Xue Yao was quite sleepy. But it was Qi Lin's words that made her unable to sleep. It seemed like she couldn’t sleep without hearing Qi Lin's story. Seeing Qi Lin return, a glimmer of light passed through Qi Xue Yao's beautiful eyes. But on the surface, Qi Xue Yao said nonchalantly: "Want a late-night snack? If you do, just wait, I'll make you some noodles." Qi Xue Yao knew Qi Lin would refuse, she actually wanted Qi Lin to go to her room to tell a story. Actually, Qi Lin also knew what Qi Xue Yao was thinking about, he suppressed a chuckle, and said: "I've already dined with a beauty outside, I'm quite full now." "I'm tired now, I’ll head to bed, you should sleep early too." After speaking, Qi Lin ignored Qi Xue Yao's fair and faintly pale face and went upstairs to his room. "How infuriating! Just knew this scoundrel was heartless!" "It’s such a pity, waiting up so late for him and to ask if he had dinner when he came back." "Such a grown man in the family, yet still fooling around outside, how could Qi Lin not meet his end out there!" Thinking this, a hint of grievance appeared in Qi Xue Yao's beautiful eyes, and a tear dropped onto the sofa. Yet, she didn’t realize that her resentment towards Qi Lin was quietly beginning to change. Unable to resist, she sat in the living room, waiting for him to return. Whenever she thought about what Qi Lin was up to, her mind would wander aimlessly. She hoped he would take better care of himself. In short, Qi Xue Yao couldn’t quite say she loved Qi Lin, but because of their child, she gradually started to develop a bit of reliance on him. In Qi Lin’s room, he was currently lying in bed with a sly grin. "If I went to tell her stories every day, with Qi Xue Yao’s temperament, I wouldn’t be offending her." "Women are unpredictable—hot and cold. They need to clearly understand what it's like to be neglected by me." "I bet 5 cents that within 10 minutes, someone will kick my door." Time was precious. Qi Lin muttered to himself and then chuckled as he took out Qi Xue Yao’s diary to read. "October 9th, 2022." "This morning, I received another call from Jiang Lei." "I do feel guilty towards Jiang Lei; after all, we dated for four years in college and made promises about the future. But life's unpredictability led me to a path I don't even understand myself. How can I ensure the promises I made with Jiang Lei?" "In the blend of emotion and guilt, I fear receiving calls from Jiang Lei, to the point of avoiding them." "Yet, I really owe Jiang Lei, so I answered the call." "Jiang Lei invited me to a place, saying he had a surprise for me." "Following the address, I arrived at a brand-new office building, complete with over a dozen training rooms, full office equipment, and many classrooms ready for use." "Jiang Lei told me he made money through smuggling learning machines from Hong Kong, with the money intended for a house, but he ended up earning tens of millions." "Now, he’s registered a new company, legally selling and buying products from Hong Kong." "Even though the profits are not as high as smuggling, they’re still considerable." "I was indeed surprised then, never expecting Jiang Lei to possess such capability." "Jiang Lei told me he's proven himself, far outdoing Qi Lin, who only waits for death. Now he's established his own company and can provide the life I've always wanted." "After those words, Jiang Lei even knelt, producing an engagement ring to propose." "He told me, he doesn't care about my past, as long as I agree to marry him and register at the Civil Affairs Bureau immediately, he’d transfer all his company shares to me." "Seeing Jiang Lei’s obsession with me left me with mixed emotions." "Now I have Qi Lin’s child, and the person I promised would never leave. I really don’t know what to do." "I told Jiang Lei, I wanted to return to think it over, and I'd give him an answer after consulting Jing Jing." Here, Qi Xue Yao’s diary entry ended. "No wonder he’s the protagonist. With over ten million smuggled, establishing his own company." After reading the diary, Qi Lin stroked his chin, contemplating how to deal with this crisis. "Should I report his smuggling to the business administration?" "No, no, reporting smuggling would take time to investigate, and what if Jiang Lei flees?" "Moreover, a large sum of Jiang Lei’s money would be confiscated—such a waste." "In 2022, it was the learning machine era. With MP3s and similar items popular, Jiang Lei indeed has commercial talent. His company might grow into a billion-dollar enterprise within a few years—it’d be a pity if it went under." "Since Jiang Lei cares so much for Qi Xue Yao, is there a way I can make Qi Xue Yao give up on him while tricking Jiang Lei into handing over his shares, making him work for me for free?" One must admit, Qi Lin was indeed ruthless. Not only vying for someone’s beloved, now he planned to have them surrender company shares, making them work hard to support him and Qi Xue Yao. What was the scenario like at that time? Qi Xue Yao and Qi Lin, with a big belly, inspecting the company while Jiang Lei looked on with jealousy and suffocation as Qi Lin wrapped his arm around Qi Xue Yao’s slender waist while passing by? What kind of ridiculous show was this? "Hehe, I think this idea is pretty good. Tomorrow I’ll test whom Qi Xue Yao truly favors." At this point, Qi Lin had devised a plan to obtain Jiang Lei’s company shares the following day. "Knock, knock, knock~" Just as Qi Lin was about to read the next diary entry, his door was suddenly banged shut. It wasn't a knock but a kick. The corners of Qi Lin’s mouth twitched as he glanced at his watch. Ah, how perfect, exactly ten minutes. Lazily, Qi Lin got up and opened the door. There he saw Qi Xue Yao, her beautiful eyes already red, appearing as if she had just been crying, staring at him intently. "What's the matter, up so late and not asleep yet?" Qi Lin pretended not to know. Qi Xue Yao still didn't speak, her eyes still fixated on Qi Lin. "If you’re not talking, then I'm going to sleep." With a smirk on his face, Qi Lin opened the door wider, looking at Qi Xue Yao’s aggrieved yet furious eyes. Barely suppressing his laughter, he closed the door. "Knock, knock, knock~" Silence ensued, and once more it was silent. Qi Lin saw it and understood that Qi Xue Yao was probably not going to ask him to tell her a story anymore. "Miss Qi Xue Yao, what exactly do you want? Don't just kick the door; say something." Again, the sound of the door being kicked started. "Come in then. There’s a storybook on my bed. If you want to hear a story, stay here tonight."
