The Rich Second-Generation Villain With No Morals

Chapter 107

[My dad was furious at the time and told them outright that he would never do anything illegal.]

[But they wouldn't listen and started searching our house.]

[In the end, they found a set of limited-edition stamps hidden in the lining of the bag of sweet potato chips I had received that morning.]

[According to their estimate, this set of stamps was worth over ten thousand.]

[My dad was taken away, and my mom and I cried our hearts out, not knowing what to do.]

[A few hours later, my dad came back. He said they couldn’t prove whether someone had planted the stamps on him, but since he had accepted them, there was still suspicion.]

[My dad’s candidacy for deputy director was revoked, and he was given a disciplinary record.]

[Wuwuwu, I was so foolish! Just because I couldn’t bear to refuse them, I accepted that bag of sweet potato chips, which cost my dad his promotion. I’m such an idiot!]

This was the end of Lan Yuxi’s diary.Qi Lin closed the diary, his dark eyes flashing with a sharp glint.

"If Lan Gang or Zhou Lina had been home, they definitely wouldn’t have accepted that bag of sweet potato chips. But the one at home was Lan Yuxi. Maybe this was all planned from the beginning."

"Although Lan Gang didn’t lose his job or end up in prison, the goal was still achieved—his chance at a promotion was ruined."

"If this were before, I wouldn’t have bothered with this. But now, Lan Gang can be considered my future father-in-law. If he keeps rising in rank, it’ll benefit me too. No matter what, I have to help him get through this crisis."

Having made up his mind, Qi Lin flipped open Qi Xueyao’s diary.

[Year, Month, Day.]

[What should I do?]

Qi Xueyao’s diary contained only these few words, and nothing more.

Qi Lin was utterly confused.

"What the hell is this girl doing? Who even writes a diary like this?"

Not understanding Qi Xueyao’s thoughts, he put the diary aside.

Next, he picked up Chen Shuyi’s diary.

[Year, Month, Day.]

[Wuwuwu, I woke up and found myself in that bastard Qi Lin’s room.]

[I’m such an idiot! Why did I believe that bastard’s words? Why did I think he would turn over a new leaf? And now? I’ve even lost my innocence!]

[It must have been during the King’s Game. I drank too much and got so dizzy that I didn’t even know when Qi Lin took advantage of me.]

[Qi Lin’s bed, his bedsheets—they’re all covered in my blood. I must have been violated by him.]

[Hu Bing, I’m sorry. I can never be with you now. I hope you find a pure girl and live a happy life.]

[As for me, I will pick myself up and fight Qi Lin, that bastard!]

[He destroyed my innocence, so I want his life in return!]

[He likes me, doesn’t he? Fine! Then I’ll drag him to hell with me! We’ll be a pair of doomed lovers in the underworld!!!]

The last line of the diary was filled with Qiu Yuelin’s rage.

But after reading the entire entry, Qi Lin’s reaction was just: "???"

If he remembered correctly, Qiu Yuelin had indeed gotten drunk, but he had only put her in the room and left.

He had even locked the door from the outside. Unless she opened it from the inside, there was no way anyone could enter.

Besides, Aunt Chen had been home the whole time. If an outsider had entered, she would have noticed immediately. Qiu Yuelin had been completely safe.

Unless...

At that moment, a thought struck Qi Lin.

"Could it be... this girl just got her period? Because of her irregular schedule, it came earlier than she expected, and she mistook it for something else?"

"Pfft! Hahaha!"

The more he thought about it, the more Qi Lin couldn’t help but laugh.

"Why didn’t she just try walking a few steps? If I had really taken her innocence, could she have just waltzed back home like nothing happened?"

"This rich young lady is adorably stupid."

"I wonder what method she’ll come up with to drag me down with her."

Even though Qi Lin had figured out the truth, he didn’t plan to tell Qiu Yuelin.

The usual strategy applied—let her hate him.

The deeper her hatred, the harder she would fall when the time came.

As long as she hated him, she would keep approaching him, trying to get revenge, maybe even trying to kill him.

And when that happened, Qi Lin could take advantage of the situation and keep teasing her—until he really made her his.

"Well, it’s getting late. I should go check on my parents at Rose Bay Plaza."

Qi Lin stretched lazily and stood up.

Today at noon, the first-ever Huaxia Lobster Food Festival would have its grand opening.

And as the mastermind behind the event, it was time for him to make his appearance.

Meanwhile, in Li Jiaming’s rental apartment.

At that moment, he was on the phone with Yan Yan.

"Mom, how’s the thing I asked you to do?"

"Shuyi is still mad at me. I’ve been coaxing her all day, but nothing’s working. This is my last hope."

Ever since he had deliberately scratched Qi Lin’s car but refused to tell Chen Shuyi about his wealthy background, she had been furious. Her face had turned pale with anger, she had slapped him, and she hadn’t spoken to him since.

No matter how much he had tried to apologize yesterday, Chen Shuyi had ignored him, focusing entirely on her work.

After trying everything, Li Jiaming finally thought of giving her a gift.

And not just any gift—the most expensive one.

He had begged his mom, Yan Yan, all night before she finally agreed to buy a Volkswagen Beetle, a car suitable for girls, so he could give it to Chen Shuyi and win her back.

"You idiot! Chen Shuyi hates being treated like a materialistic girl. Giving her a car? Are you asking for another slap?"

Yan Yan’s beautiful eyes carried a hint of amusement.

"Then let her slap me again! As long as Shuyi forgives me, I don’t care."

"The car is just to show my sincerity. Once I say a few sweet words, she’ll definitely forgive me."

Li Jiaming was convinced that his plan was foolproof.

Yan Yan smiled helplessly and shook her head.

This boy was just as dense as his father when it came to chasing girls.

Since she couldn’t change his mind, she decided to let him be. If he wanted to get slapped, so be it.

"I’m on my way to the dealership now. I’ll contact you once I pick up the car."

Yan Yan chuckled.

"Haha, thanks, Mom! Love you!"

Li Jiaming laughed joyfully.

Shaking her head, Yan Yan hung up the phone.

Driving while distracted was dangerous.

When she put down her phone, she was momentarily distracted.

And in that split second, she looked up—

To see a pedestrian suddenly crossing the zebra crossing in front of her.

"Ah!!!"

Yan Yan was so startled that her soul nearly left her body. She instinctively swerved the steering wheel to the right.

"Boom!"

She managed to avoid hitting the person but crashed into the flowerbed and a metal streetlamp.

The car’s front end crumpled from the impact.

The fuel tank also leaked due to the collision.

"Hiss—"

The friction from the chassis sparked against the spilled gasoline, igniting a small flame.

Smoke started rising from the car.

"Bang!"

The airbag deployed, saving Yan Yan from a fatal injury.

"I... I’m still alive?"

Yan Yan’s delicate face had a few bruises from hitting the steering wheel.

She was still in shock.

"Sniff—"

Her sharp nose picked up the scent of burning gasoline.

"This is bad! The car’s on fire!"

Realizing this, Yan Yan’s expression turned pale. She frantically pushed at the door.

But the door had been crushed in the crash and was stuck to the frame. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t open it.

Worse yet, her leg was trapped under the seat.

She couldn’t move.

With only two or three minutes before the fire spread and caused an explosion, if she didn’t get out—

She was done for.

The fire was spreading rapidly, nearly reaching the front of the car, and there was a risk of explosion at any moment.

A few sweat-drenched men exchanged glances and shook their heads helplessly.

Although they wanted to save the woman inside, their own lives were more important.

“No! Don’t leave me!”

Watching the men walk away, Yan Yan’s beautiful eyes were filled with endless fear and despair as she reached out a trembling hand.

On the other side, Qi Lin was driving towards Rose Bay Plaza and happened to pass by.

"Huh? Someone got into a car accident here, and there’s still someone trapped inside."

"Tsk tsk, if she doesn’t get out within two or three minutes, she’s dead for sure."

"But what does this have to do with me?"

Qi Lin shrugged and drove straight past.

Saving people in this situation was extremely dangerous, and Qi Lin was not only a villain but also had no connection to the woman inside. Only an idiot would rush in to save her.

But at that moment—

[Ding! A life-threatening situation has been detected. The host is urgently needed to save the victim.]

[You may now choose one of the following options:]

[Option 1: Ignore the situation and drive away. Reward: +1 Charm Point.]

[Option 2: Call the police for help and then leave. Reward: One Peach Blossom Luck Card, valid for one day.]

[Option 3: Risk your life and rescue the trapped person. Reward: A mysterious real estate deed.]

Qi Lin: "..."

For the first time, the system was seriously instructing him to save someone, rather than giving some shady option like "You wouldn’t want anyone to find out about this, right?"

Something was definitely off. Since the system had specifically notified him, the person inside the car must have a special identity.

Moreover, the third option’s "mysterious real estate deed" piqued Qi Lin’s curiosity.

"The weirder the reward, the greater the payoff. That’s an unchanging rule in novels."

Thinking of this, Qi Lin smirked. "I choose the third option."

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have obtained a real estate deed.]

[This property was a secret stash for a wealthy businessman, with over ten million in cash hidden inside the walls. The owner unexpectedly died of a heart attack, so aside from the host, no one in the world knows about this secret.]

Qi Lin was stunned.

"Holy—! A house with ten million in cash hidden inside? System, you are absolutely incredible! I knew the third option wouldn’t be simple!"

His face lit up with excitement.

Although his family was worth billions, most of it was in fixed assets. The actual liquid funds he could use barely reached ten million.

Right now, it was a golden age for business, filled with opportunities everywhere. Whatever he wanted to do would require a large amount of capital.

This ten million was like money falling from the sky at the perfect moment.

Looking at the burning car, Qi Lin grinned. "What an unlucky car owner… You’re my lucky star today. Just for this ten million, I have to save you."

Qi Lin pulled over at a nearby parking space to prevent his own car from being damaged if the other one exploded.

Then, he immediately sprinted towards the wrecked vehicle.

The onlookers gasped as they saw someone rushing towards what was basically a ticking time bomb.

"Young man! Get back! That car’s about to explode!"

"Even if you get there, it’s no use! The doors are jammed shut!"

"It’s too dangerous! Don’t go!"

But Qi Lin ignored them completely. In the blink of an eye, he reached the driver’s side.

Yan Yan’s mind had already gone blank. She was waiting for death, hoping the explosion would be instant and painless.

But suddenly—

"Boom!"

A thunderous sound shook her awake, making her instinctively look outside.

For the first time, Qi Lin unleashed his SSS-grade Muay Thai skills.

The crowd stood frozen in shock.

Qi Lin’s face was serious as he threw punch after punch at the car door.

Moments ago, a group of strong men had failed to budge the door, but under Qi Lin’s assault, it quickly caved in.

Yan Yan’s beautiful eyes widened in amazement.

Everyone else had given up on her, believing she was doomed.

But now, a handsome young man had descended like a god, rekindling the last glimmer of hope in her heart.

In Yan Yan’s eyes, Qi Lin looked like a divine warrior.

"Crack!"

With two crisp metallic snaps, the reinforced car door was completely broken off.

Qi Lin grabbed the door with both hands, yanked it free, and tossed it behind him. It flew over ten meters away.

The onlookers were dumbfounded.

Was this guy… Superman?

"Wrap your arms around my neck! I’ll carry you out!"

Qi Lin didn’t have time to check her face. He just shouted at her.

Seeing the open door, Yan Yan burst into tears of joy.

She obediently reached out to grab Qi Lin—

But then she remembered.

“Wuwuwu~ My foot is stuck under the seat! I can’t move!”

Yan Yan had almost forgotten that her leg was trapped. She couldn’t get it out.

"What a hassle!"

Seeing the flames creeping toward them, Qi Lin grew impatient. He kicked the seat hard, shattering it instantly.

Then, without hesitation, he pulled off Yan Yan’s high heels and freed her delicate, silk-clad feet.

At last, she was finally out of the car.

"This woman… Forget her face. Just her feet alone are stunning. The arch is as perfect as a crescent moon. Her toes are small and exquisite, like flawless pieces of art."

"She could be the perfect high-heel model."

Qi Lin sighed in admiration but didn’t waste any time. He scooped her up in a princess carry and started running.

"Crackle!"

A strange noise caught Qi Lin’s attention.

"Oh, crap! The car’s about to explode!"

He shouted.

At this moment, running wouldn’t help. If he kept going, he’d be riddled with shrapnel.

With a forceful leap, he threw himself forward, hitting the ground.

Qi Lin was fine.

But Yan Yan… was being used as a cushion.

"Mmph!"

Yan Yan’s eyes widened.

And by some freak coincidence, Qi Lin’s lips had landed directly on hers.

They were… kissing.
