151: Su Qingge's gratitude: [Thank you, Lin Xuan]

"Qingge, shall I continue the story I left unfinished last time?"

To quickly escape the awkward topic, Lin Xuan's mind lit up, and he immediately had an idea.

The unfinished story?

Oh, I remember now~~~

Hong Tai Lang cheated with Tianshen (Licking God) Fei Yangyang, giving birth to Guang Tou Qiang. Gray Wolf, upon learning this, furiously killed Tianshen (Licking God), ultimately forcing Guang Tou Qiang to flee into Bear Ridge... At the time, this story had a continuation... but Lin Xuan, that cliffhanger dog, was so unethical, he intentionally whetted her appetite but refused to satisfy it?!

At this moment, Su Qingge couldn't help but recall the fear of being dominated by that cliffhanger dog.

However, she still held anticipation for the story's ending.

She really wanted to know if Guang Tou Qiang's revenge would succeed... So, she began to urge Lin Xuan to tell it.

"Cough, cough..."

"Qingge! I know you're in a hurry, but please don't be in a hurry yet."

Seeing his "topic diversion strategy" succeed greatly, Lin Xuan grinned.

He first organized his thoughts, then began to narrate vividly:

"The Battle of Yunlan Sect! Gray Wolf achieved a great victory, furiously killing Fei Yangyang and Hong Tai Lang."

"And the wolf-sheep son, Guang Tou Qiang! At the last second, he escaped into the Wolf Clan's forbidden zone—Bear Ridge, vowing to avenge his parents."

"For this, he went through eighty-one trials and tribulations, finally gaining the appreciation of the rulers of Bear Ridge... Emperor Xiong Da and Emperor Xiong Er. The two emperors adopted him as their godson."

"From then on, Guang Tou Qiang recognized the bears as his fathers. Every day, under the guidance of his bear godfathers, he diligently studied peerless killing moves like the Seventy-Two Transformations and Iron Mountain Lean."

"Two and a half years later, Guang Tou Qiang, with his divine skills perfected, returned to Yunlan Sect under the alias 'Zhi Qiang'."

"Just as he was carrying his chainsaw and axe, preparing to exact revenge on his enemy Gray Wolf, he was surprised to find that Gray Wolf and Mei Yangyang had already married and had a child named Son Goku."

"But this could not deter Guang Tou Qiang's determination for revenge; blood debts must be paid in blood. Soon, a world-shattering battle erupted between the two sides."

"And in front of the greatly strengthened Guang Tou Qiang, even if Gray Wolf inherited the power of the Wolf King, he was still beaten back repeatedly..."

[Gray Wolf, if this is all the strength you have, then I think this battle can end.]

[The current you doesn't even have the qualification to make me use my chainsaw.]

[I'm very disappointed; you're too weak. I've chopped down no less than a hundred trees stronger than you in Bear Ridge.]

[Sigh... Too slow, the speed is too slow. Even the squirrels I've encountered are a hundred times faster than you.]

..."Guang Tou Qiang, with a single axe blow, effortlessly killed Gray Wolf, striking at his heart."

"After the battle, looking at the trembling Mei Yangyang and her child, 'Zhi Qiang' felt pity and ultimately couldn't bring himself to kill them, sighing as he left."

"However, Guang Tou Qiang's act of slaughter angered Gray Wolf's father—the Wolf Clan's Emperor Ru Lai."

"Emperor Ru Lai immediately brought out his personal treasure—the Five-Finger Mountain—and directly suppressed Guang Tou Qiang at the foot of the mountain."

"Two and a half years later, a bald man calling himself 'Saitama' appeared."

"He rescued the suppressed Guang Tou Qiang and took Guang Tou Qiang with him on a journey to the West to obtain scriptures."

"Along the way, Guang Tou Qiang was gradually enlightened by Buddhist teachings and understood the true meaning of life."

"He let go of his hatred, began to cherish every day of his life, and formed a deep master-disciple bond with Saitama."

"After enduring countless hardships, the two finally succeeded in obtaining the true scriptures, fulfilling their mission to save all living beings."

"And during his journey, Guang Tou Qiang coincidentally met Mei Yangyang, who was selling her kidney to bury her child. The two reconciled, fell in love at first sight, and naturally began a human-sheep romance..."

"Two and a half years later, they had three children: Tang Chuan, Xiao Wu, and Xiao Yan, and from then on, they lived a happy and fulfilling life."

"Qingge, what do you think? Give your comments. Isn't this story great and full of dramatic effect?"

"..."

Lin Xuan was very satisfied with the story he told; he thought he was a genius.

He originally thought he would get an "S" rating, but he didn't expect Su Qingge's evaluation to be... [Melodramatic!!!]

After listening to the story, Su Qingge felt numb; there were so many plot holes that she didn't know where to begin her critique.

Especially the later plot... [The earlier plot was already explosive. The later plot where he married his enemy Gray Wolf's wife, that's just ridiculously absurd!]

[Not only did he not kill them all, but he also fell in love with the other party. I can only say 36 divided by 6 is still 666.]

[Wait... Could Guang Tou Qiang's action actually have a deeper meaning? Is there a conspiracy here?]

[I get it, I get it. So that's how it is! Marrying his enemy's wife and having her bear his children...]

[Wouldn't Gray Wolf be so angry in the afterlife that he'd rise from the dead if he knew? This is the most ruthless form of revenge!]

[This Guang Tou Qiang is so insidious?!]

[But what's speechless is... how did the three children turn out to be Tang Chuan, Xiao Wu, and Xiao Yan again?]

[These few, no matter which myriad worlds they transmigrate into in the story, they can't escape the 'son' role, can they...]

...But despite the complaints, when she thought that Lin Xuan was also telling stories to entertain her and make her happy, Su Qingge was quite grateful.

She couldn't imagine what kind of mental state she would have been in to get through these days without Lin Xuan's presence; she probably would have had mental problems long ago!

Recalling the despair, hysteria, and breakdown of first becoming a vegetable, compared to the current hope and joy, Su Qingge was grateful to Lin Xuan from the bottom of her heart.

It was just that with her personality, she really couldn't bring herself to say such mushy words, so she could only secretly thank him in her heart... [Thank you, Lin Xuan.]

"Qingge, alright."

"The story is finished, so let's begin... Heheheh..."

Lin Xuan laughed wantonly, climbing onto the bed using both his hands and feet.

He had to make every second count now.

Otherwise... once Su Qingge awoke from her vegetative state, he would most likely find it difficult to maintain this daily "snuggling" and doing-as-he-pleased behavior pattern.

And just as Lin Xuan was happily sniffing the girl's hair... Lin Corporation, Headquarters.

Inside the employee dormitory.

"Old Lin! For the sake of our many years of friendship, I'm giving you some good advice."

"Hurry up and do as we did; while there's a big sucker around, sell off your shares!"

"Keeping them is useless; you'll just watch them plummet, and they'll eventually become worthless junk shares."

"Think about it yourself! I have the contact information for that big sucker. If you've thought it through, you can contact me. Hanging up!"

Beep beep beep—

Lin Jianjun's face was grim; he casually tossed the hung-up phone onto the sofa.

He had just returned home when he received calls from some employees, learning that someone was frantically acquiring shares of Lin Corporation.

This made him tremble with anger.

One must know, Lin Corporation was what he valued most.

Now, it was being bought and sold like trash by the shareholders.

And it was being sold to someone of unknown origin; his identity, background, etc., were all unknown, only that he had a horse-like face.

These heartless, unrighteous bastards!!!

Lin Jianjun was furious in his heart.

But he also knew he couldn't stop it; the shareholders had almost completely disregarded his authority.

Everyone was looking for a new way out.

It was hard to find a big sucker willing to buy their shares.

The shareholders wouldn't care about the sucker's background or identity; as long as they could sell, they could at least recover some capital.

Sigh... Now, his position as chairman was virtually in name only.

"Daddy, what should we do next?"

"How about we sell our shares too?"

Not far away, Lin Hao, who was cleaning and pretending to be a good child, walked over and offered a suggestion.

He had just overheard Lin Jianjun's call and knew there was a big sucker buying up shares.

Not just him, Bai Yuelan, who was beside him, also advised:

"That's right! Husband, we're penniless now..."

"Let's quickly sell some shares before that big sucker changes his mind, get some money, and then look for a different place to live!"

"This place really isn't fit for humans. Before, we thought we'd make do for a while. But now the situation has changed; we can't make do for a lifetime, can we?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jianjun, who originally had a strong attachment to the shares, uncharacteristically did not object, his brows furrowed in hesitation.

If it were his old self, he would never sell, even if it killed him.

But now... if the shares weren't sold, it would truly be a total loss.

Apart from anything else... he and Lin Hao's mother were used to living in a villa and simply couldn't live in such a poor place; every morning he woke up with aches and pains all over his body.

If he had some money, he could move to a better hotel.

And he would also have a starting fund to make a comeback.

Finally, Lin Jianjun was relieved; he knew that given the current situation, selling the shares was the best option.

"Alright! Okay, I'll listen to you two."

As soon as he said this, Lin Hao and his mother exchanged glances, both seeing relief in the other's eyes.

They were really afraid that Lin Jianjun would act unilaterally and waste their last chance... This was now the largest sum of money they could get.

If they used it sparingly in the future, it should be enough for the mother and son to get through the initial difficult period.

"Alright, Yue Lan. I'm hungry; hurry up and make dinner!"

"Also, Xiao Hao. The room is a bit dirty, it's an eyesore. Go get a mop and do a thorough cleaning!"

At this moment, Lin Jianjun's voice came, giving the order to make dinner... He then sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and started playing Honor of Kings.

Seeing this, a hint of dissatisfaction and disgust flashed in the eyes of Bai Yuelan and her son.

What time was it?

And he was still putting on airs as chairman in front of them!

Hmph!

However, even though they were uncomfortable, to continue playing their roles well, they could only grit their teeth and get to work.

One mopped the floor, the other cooked, serving a certain master.

But after only a short while, Lin Hao couldn't take it anymore; leaning on the mop, holding his waist, he was panting with exhaustion.

Damn it, so tired!

Before, these dirty, tiring jobs were never his to do; they were all given to the nanny.

He never thought that one day, he would actually have to stoop to doing such lowly work.

Lin Hao's face was full of displeasure.

He glanced at Lin Jianjun, who was "Ge You lying" on the sofa, watching the Qiong Yao drama "Princess Pearl" on TV, which made him even angrier.

As the saying goes:

Without comparison, there is no harm.

I'm working like a dog here, while you're happily drinking a beverage and watching TV?!

At this moment, Lin Hao felt an unprecedented disgust for the performance of this non-biological father.

Before, the other party had money, and there was a long-standing friendship.

So even if he knew the other party was not his biological father, he didn't have much urge to leave him.

But now, Lin Corporation, which he had been thinking about day and night, was about to go bankrupt.

Lin Hao could no longer be a young master of a wealthy family.

Realizing this, he became increasingly unable to tolerate Lin Jianjun's various shortcomings.

After all, this guy, who was useless without Lin Corporation, would only become a burden to him in the future.

However, still coveting the money from selling the shares in the other party's hands, Lin Hao comforted himself to... endure!!!

But he also didn't want to see Lin Jianjun living so comfortably.

So he said:

"Daddy~ let's mop the floor together! I can't finish it alone."

He thought that if he said this, Lin Jianjun would surely help out, but who knew the other party just glanced at his younger son, looking utterly bewildered, and said:

"What are you talking about, child? I am the head of the household; how can I do such rough work?"

"And these things are supposed to be done by women and children..."

"As the head of the household, my duty is to earn money and support the family. What do other things have to do with me?"

"As for not being able to finish, it's fine! You can continue after dinner! If you can't finish today, you can do it tomorrow! Take your time, no rush."

Lin Hao: "..."

No rush, your sister!

Of course you're not in a rush?!

Lying there playing on your phone, what are you in a rush for!!!

Hmph!

Damn old geezer, as soon as I get the money, I'll kick you out and let you fend for yourself!!!

Lin Hao was extremely displeased in his heart.

But now, with only one last step, he could only choose to... endure!!!

Then he picked up the mop and started cleaning, cursing under his breath.

Knock knock knock—

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it? Why are you knocking so loudly?"

Since Lin Hao, who was mopping the floor, was closest to the door, he opened it with a hint of dissatisfaction.

What met his eyes were several men in black clothes and pants, wearing masks, completely covered, staring straight at him.

"Lin Hao?"

"Uh... who are you?"

Realizing something was wrong, Lin Hao didn't answer directly but cautiously tried to close the door again, but it was already too late.

The door was kicked open by the men in black.

The leader, holding a spray can, aimed at his face and sprayed several times.

In just an instant, Lin Hao felt his vision blur and the world spin...
