Chapter 52 Dai Shengxi's Conspiracy
"Open the door, it's me!!"
A voice came from outside Hu Lin'er's bedroom.
Hu Lin'er knew it was Dai Shengxi as soon as she heard it! She was very unhappy but helpless, so she could only open the door and let him in.
"What is it? Speak up if you have something to say, or shut up if you have nothing to say," Hu Lin'er said coldly, not wanting to pay him any more attention.
"Heh, you filthy bitch, how dare you talk to me like that? You'll regret this. I, Dai Jia, just signed a long-term cooperation contract with Hu Biao, and you have to unconditionally help me at the academy—that's one of the terms of the contract—"
"what?!"
"Oh? You didn't know? Well, that means your dad basically sold you out. You'd better ask him about it when you have time. Now, you can start doing the first thing—"
Dai Shengxi said something to Hu Lin'er.
Hu Lin'er shook her head as she listened, backing away in a panic.
"No...no, I...I absolutely can't do this. Please let me go. Any other conditions will do, but I really can't do this..."
"No? You think you can just say no and that's it? Let me tell you the truth, your Hu family's businesses basically all need my Dai family's support now. The Hu family... is already my family's puppet. You know, your father, relying on his connections with the Spirit Hall's finance department, has evaded a lot of taxes..."
"You...you..." Hu Lin'er looked at Dai Shengxi in disbelief, her hands trembling, clearly on the verge of losing control.
"Stop with the 'you, you, you'! You like him that much? What's so great about him that you like him? He's arrogant, conceited, and looks down on everyone. He's got some skills but he just pretends. What's he pretending for? In the end, he's still just an orphan who doesn't have a father."
Dai Shengxi learned from a friend that Qian Yuhan had apparently been abandoned by her father and become an orphan six months before enrolling in school...
"Why do you always have to cause trouble for others? You are a person of status, why are you so petty with an ordinary person?"
Hu Lin'er is now terrified of Dai Shengxi after he mentioned tax evasion. Yes, terrified, deeply afraid.
However, Hu Lin'er still questioned Dai Shengxi...
"Damn it!" Dai Shengxi's aura surged, his Saber-Toothed Ghost Tiger Martial Soul manifesting beneath his feet, along with three spirit rings—two yellow and one purple. Although Hu Lin'er had broken through her bottleneck in the previous battle with the Tooth-Pinned Poison Scorpion King, and was only one spirit ring away from breaking through to Soul Master, she hadn't had time to acquire another one due to poisoning.
The suppression of the three rings over the two rings is the same pressure as that of a thousand-year-old soul ring.
"You dare to talk to me like that, you bitch. From the moment you agreed to that thing with me, you, ha, didn't deserve to be with him forever. You even took his side, how despicable are you?"
Dai Shengxi turned around, glared at Hu Lin'er, then opened the door and went out, slamming the door shut behind her.
Hu Lin'er lowered her head, speechless. She...
She had truly fallen in love with Qian Yuhan. She thought to herself: If Yuhan knew the truth, would he forgive me...? But what Dai Shengxi had just told her and what Dai Shengxi had asked her to do before made her feel that she was indeed unworthy of saying that she and Qian Yuhan were truly in love.
That's right, Dai Shengxi had previously coerced Hu Lin'er into getting close to Qian Yuhan, hoping she would end up with him. The plan was to betray him while they were deeply in love, causing him immense pain...
Such despicable actions, such filthy hearts!
Then, Dai Shengxi somehow heard that Qian Yuhan wanted to get his hands on some kind of playing card and seize the market. Dai Shengxi told her to pretend to be Qian Yuhan's girlfriend and have him hand it over to her, and then pass it on to the Dai family, so that he could taste the bitterness of betrayal.
What deep-seated hatred could drive someone to treat a poor orphan abandoned by her father like this? Qian Yuhan should still be lying alone in her dormitory right now... Hu Lin'er thought to herself, looking out the window, her eyes welling up with tears, and finally a tear rolled down her cheek.
……
On the second morning of the holiday, Qian Yuhan got up and went for his usual run to mail letters. This time he ran a little less, returned to his dormitory, packed his things quickly, and planned to go home to see his uncles and inquire about his father.
This holiday lasts for three days, plus last Saturday and Sunday, making it a total of five days. The key thing is that there is no such brain-dead work schedule adjustment system as in the original world. Just the fact that there is no work schedule adjustment system makes Qian Yuhan feel that this place is too good!
I've been trained to the point of numbness by Yu Ziyang lately, so it's time to go back and get a good rest, replenish my energy, and prepare for the long, grueling training ahead...
Back in his home in Wuhun City, right next to the Judgment Elder and the Grand Hall of Worship, was a very simple and unassuming villa.
There were no elaborate decorations; the small garden contained only a tea table, a chair, and a pavilion. Spring water flowing from the artificial hill passed by the pavilion, creating a tranquil and idyllic scene, like a secluded paradise.
I lay on my soft bed and took a nap, sleeping straight until noon.
Qian Yuhan could have continued sleeping, but was woken up by a knock on the door.
"Young Master, Young Master, are you there? Young Master..." A voice rang out along with a knock on the door.
Qian Yuhan rubbed her sleepy eyes, opened her bedroom door, and saw Qingfeng Douluo standing at the door.
Since bringing Qian Yuhan back, Qian Mo no longer neglected the villa. He moved in with Qian Yuhan; he couldn't very well let his son sit cross-legged in his office like he did. Qian Mo set up a protective barrier around the villa, allowing only specific people to enter, so the villa gate wasn't locked…
"Uncle Qingfeng, what brings you here?"
"When did you get back, Yu Han? You didn't even go to chat with your uncle. You're so naive. If Shao Hui hadn't told me you were back, I wouldn't have known. Shao Hui is looking for you. Go to the Papal Palace."
"Huh? The Papal Palace? What am I going there for? Uncle Shao Hui, what's up?"
"I don't know that, he didn't say either."
Qingfeng Douluo shook his head and waved his hand.
Seemingly remembering something, he paused for a moment and then said, "Hey, you're back today. Come to my place tonight, and I'll treat you to a meal."
Qian Yuhan was about to say something when Qingfeng Douluo interrupted her, saying, "You can't refuse!"
Qian Yuhan smiled and shook her head, "I didn't say I wouldn't go, I was just about to agree... and you just shut me up..."
"Hahahaha, that's because Uncle was too anxious. Who can blame us for making Yu Han so lovable?"
Qingfeng Douluo didn't linger, exchanging a few more words before leaving. After seeing Qingfeng Douluo off, Qian Yuhan ate the lunch brought by a servant, thinking as she ate:
Why did Uncle Shao Hui want to see me? He'd never asked me to go to the Papal Palace before. Maybe it's something important, like news about Dad? Wait, that's not right. If it's about Dad, how could Uncle Qingfeng not know? Oh well, I'll find out when I get there…
Dad, where are you? When can we meet again? I've been training so hard...
