50: Chapter 50 Lin Yu: Should I get a divorce or will you? Shen Yuan: An assassin is coming to kill me!?

Lin Yu was a little dazed, but he didn't pay it any mind.

Shen Yuan: "Tch! This Dragon King really is an idiot!"

Over the past two days, after they had grown familiar with each other, Lin Yu had revealed the truth of the matter.

Three years ago, while on a mission, he had chased the sixth-ranked assassin on the international hit list into the Xia Kingdom. As it turned out, he had fallen into a trap and was ambushed! He was severely injured. Familiar, right? It was the exact same trope as a God of War novel.

He had risked his life to kill his opponent and nearly died himself, when a beautiful woman found him and took him into a room. Don't ask why he didn't go to the hospital; if you do, the answer is... how many people in novels actually take someone they find to the hospital? Perhaps the people in this world were just a bit brain-dead!

She helped him treat his wounds, and in his dazed state, Lin Yu only saw a safety buckle hanging around the beauty's neck. Later, after he woke up, the beauty never returned... so he left on his own.

Using the appearance of that safety buckle, he had people inquire about who had saved him. Later, he learned that the safety buckle was a status symbol of the Tang Family. His subordinates found out that the Tang Family daughter, Tang Mengxin, wore that very safety buckle around her neck!

Just as he had an overseas mission, he went off to complete it, only to fall into another trap! This Dragon King really was subpar!

Unexpectedly, he was accidentally saved by the old master of the Tang Family. After talking, the Dragon King was overjoyed and casually asked about Tang Mengxin. He said he wanted to repay the favor! The old master replied, "Are you here to take revenge? I saved you, and you're coveting my granddaughter!?"

Afterwards, the two made an agreement: three years! Within those three years, he was not allowed to reveal his true identity and had to interact with Tang Mengxin using the most ordinary of personas. After three years, regardless of whether Tang Mengxin had fallen in love with him or not... he would be allowed to reveal his identity.

If she had fallen in love, they would hold a grand wedding. If not, they would divorce and go their separate ways. The old master of the Tang Family had clearly lost his mind, and our Dragon King, Lin Yu, had also gone insane. He just agreed to it like that.

Then, under the old master's insistence despite all opposition, Lin Yu married into the Tang Family. And the result? After being married for just over a month... the old master insisted on going to the countryside to recuperate, only to encounter a mudslide on the way... and he kicked the bucket!

Shen Yuan commented that this was clearly a plot-mandated death! The old master's existence had hindered the display of Lin Yu's simp tendencies and obstructed the plot progression of the Tang Family bullying Lin Yu. Therefore, he had been forced to log off.

Shen Yuan: "..." I'm telling you, are you all brain-dead? When looking for a savior, you rely solely on a safety buckle to confirm? After finding her, couldn't you have made further inquiries to be certain? Couldn't you have just asked her directly if she had saved someone back then?

Over the past two days, Shen Yuan had also had Uncle Gou look into some information. Tang Mengyao and Tang Mengxin did not have the same mother! Their father had gotten Tang Mengxin's mother pregnant before he was married, but in the end, he had married Tang Mengyao's mother.

However, Tang Mengyao's mother had died too early, so their father had brought Tang Mengxin's mother back. Therefore, Tang Mengxin was the older sister, and Tang Mengyao was the younger sister. Tang Mengyao's life at home wasn't great, but it was still better than the average person's.

That safety buckle had indeed been worn by Tang Mengyao at the beginning, but after it was confirmed that Tang Mengxin was the heir... it was transferred to Tang Mengxin. Shen Yuan shrugged.

"Alright, I'll help you move out of the Tang Family!" Lin Yu smiled at Tang Mengyao. "Hurry up!" Shen Yuan kicked Lin Yu. The three of them entered the Civil Affairs Bureau together.

"Lin Yu!" Tang Mengxin's expression was grim; she had lost a lot of weight. "I was wrong, can we..." "Shut up!" Shen Yuan interrupted directly. "Did you bring the household registration book and your ID card?" Lin Yu: "?????" Am I the one getting divorced, or are you?

Tang Mengxin opened her mouth, but Shen Yuan tilted his head. "Does the Tang Family want to end up like the Yang Family?" Tang Mengxin gave a bitter smile and took the documents out of her bag. "I brought them both!"

The process was exceptionally smooth. When the staff stamped the documents and handed the magenta divorce certificates to the two of them, Lin Yu let out a sigh of relief. (There was no cooling-off period before, so they just treated it as divorcing according to the previous rules!)

Tang Mengxin walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau looking dejected. Tang Mengyao walked up to Lin Yu. "Brother-in-law, don't be sad." "What is there for me to be sad about? I'm overjoyed!" Lin Yu smiled and sighed softly.

"There's no need to be stubborn; I've seen how good you were to my sister!" "You must be sad inside!" Tang Mengyao said softly, "Just let it go!" Lin Yu's face twitched. "I'm really not sad!"

"Let's go, I'll take you to the Tang Family to get back everything that belongs to you!" Lin Yu said with a smile. Tang Mengyao nodded. Shen Yuan: "..." Is that really all there is to the divorce plot?

Shouldn't Tang Mengxin have hooked up with some powerful character... and then come over to slap his face, only for Lin Yu to slap back? Is it because of my presence that things have become so smooth?

Well then, Lin Yu, don't go living too comfortably! You're used to being a simp, aren't you? So, I'll just reveal the truth, and you can go back to being a simp, how about that?

"Old Lin, come here!" Shen Yuan dragged Lin Yu to the side, his eyes narrowing into a kind, gentle smile. "Stop smiling!" Lin Yu hurriedly raised his hand. "Your smile looks like the Big Bad Wolf about to eat Little Red Riding Hood."

"So and so, this and that!" Shen Yuan smiled slightly, turned, and walked away. Lin Yu stood stunned in place. What!? I found the wrong person!? Impossible, absolutely impossible! I...

Lin Yu looked at Tang Mengyao's back. At this moment, he suddenly felt his memory becoming exceptionally clear... This silhouette overlapped with the one in his memory.

*Smack!* Lin Yu didn't hesitate to slap himself. Was Brother Ce right? Am I really an idiot? Lin Yu began to question his life... Meanwhile, Shen Yuan drove away.

A long while later... Lin Yu: "Holy crap! You're just going to leave me here like this? Am I supposed to take a taxi back? Damn it! It's only been a few days of living the good life, and I've already forgotten what it's like to suffer?"

...Time passed... It was evening. Lin Yu hadn't returned... He was either off being a simp or had gone to find a place to stay! In any case, Chu Yang returned. Shen Yuan scrolled on his phone for a while and then fell asleep.

In the dead of night, everything was quiet. A middle-aged man in a tuxedo quietly approached the villa. Before he could even get close to the villa... in the room next to Shen Yuan's, Chu Yang's eyes snapped open. Killing intent?

The middle-aged man in the tuxedo silently evaded the security cameras and entered Shen Yuan's room. Shen Yuan had already opened his eyes long ago, staring at the dark ceiling while lying in bed. Killing intent!? There's actually killing intent!?

I'm staying up late cultivating, and now I just want to sleep... You assassins are coming to kill me at this hour? Couldn't you have come in broad daylight?

"Ding! What kind of assassin works in broad daylight? Guns are banned here, so it has to be a stealthy assassination!" The system's voice rang out. "A mere Grandmaster wants to kill me?" "I'll just lie here in bed without moving..." "I'll let him stab me and see if he can even break my skin!" Shen Yuan said with disdain, "This layer of mine is very tough!" If he wasn't hard enough, he wouldn't be able to pierce this layer of mine!
