"Hello? Good day." Lin Hai said politely.

"Beast Lin, the Queen has been discharged from the hospital!" Qi Weiwei's voice was filled with chill and a sneering laugh.

Lin Hai shrank his neck, feeling his hands and feet ice cold.

"Uh, hehe, congratulations to the Queen. This humble one has been eagerly hoping that the Queen could recover soon." Lin Hai said with an awkward smile.

"Humph, you're as good as dead." Queen Qi's tone was chilling.

Cold sweat dripped from Lin Hai's forehead.

Queen Qi had recovered so quickly; could it be because of the Gang Qi seed he had left in her body, which accelerated her recovery?

But wasn't this too fast? Even though he secretly checked and confirmed that Qi Weiwei was very suitable for cultivating Gang Qi, and her talent was indeed exceptional...

"Tell me, where are you? I'm coming to find you right now."

"Uh, why are you looking for me, for crying out loud!" Lin Hai now felt a strong urge to pee himself in panic.

"I'm coming to settle the score with you!"

"Settling all our debts at once, you even dared to send me a funeral basket, you're definitely dead!" Queen Qi's voice was frosty and terrifying, her voice filled with a teeth-gritting rage over the phone.

Lin Hai's hand shivered, almost dropping the phone to the ground.

Indeed, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. She really holds a grudge.

"Um, I'm busy right now, Queen Qi, can we talk later?" Lin Hai asked cautiously.

"No way!"

"If you dare hang up the phone, I'll immediately have someone bring an arrest warrant and a search warrant to your home and company!" Queen Qi said assertively, leaving no room for doubt.

"Queen Qi, we can talk this over, right?" Lin Hai said, trying to ingratiate himself.

"No negotiation!" Qi Weiwei's voice was filled with rage.

Lin Hai gazed out of the bus window at the swiftly passing scenery, at a loss for what to do, and sighed with a look of utter dejection.

The old lady who had given up her seat for Lin Hai imagined this whole scene as a young man having a blow-up with his girlfriend.

This made the old lady reminisce about her own youthful days when she was beautiful and chased by many men. Back then she was also quite temperamental, and looking back now, she realized that men have it hard.

"Queen Qi, I'm actually on a business trip right now; I really can't meet you immediately."

Lin Hai quickly improvised an excuse.

"Who are you fooling? Do you believe that I'd command the entire police force to search every corner of the city for you?!" Queen Qi declared with authority.

Lin Hai wilted again, and reluctantly continued to lie:

"Queen Qi, I'm currently on a train, I decided to go on a trip on short notice, if you don't believe me, listen..."

At that moment, the old lady who had earlier gave up her seat for Lin Hai cleared her throat and called out, "Beer, drinks, mineral water, chicken feet, instant noodles, sausages... come on, young man, watch your feet!"

At this moment, it felt as if the world was filled with positive energy.

"Holy moly, what a clever old lady!" Lin Hai was inwardly overflowing with gratitude for the old lady; her timely aid was like a gift in the snow. Good deeds do get rewarded.

Suddenly, Qi Weiwei's voice on the phone sounded quite surprised, "Are you really on a business trip?"

"Yeah, Queen Qi, the company decided on the spur of the moment to send me on a business trip, sigh, I actually don't want to leave Huadu, because you're there. I had planned to visit you at the hospital this afternoon." Lin Hai's voice was earnest and sincere, his expression while speaking was incredibly solemn.

Queen Qi on the other end of the phone actually believed him, because it was unlikely that Lin Hai could have colluded with an old lady so quickly to deceive her.

"Alright, you wait for the Queen. When you come back, clean yourself up and come to the police station to see me." Queen Qi said powerfully and domineeringly.

Lin Hai obediently seized the opportunity to back down and chuckled, "Yes, Lin will follow the order. Queen, after my business trip, I will immediately come to see you."

"Scram, even the sound of your voice is sleazy!"

Qi Weiwei immediately hung up the call.

Lin Hai put his phone back into his pocket and let out a relieved sigh.

Lucky for him, offering his seat had inadvertently saved him from trouble.

Lin Hai arrived at his stop as well.

"Thank you, ma'am," he said gratefully as the old woman watched him get off the bus.

The receptionist at the Mingya Group's front desk seemed to be quite irritated lately, as acne had even started to appear on her face.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she greeted the man walking in with eager respect: "Wow, Young Master Xiao, you're here today."

Xiao Jiba had just been discharged from the hospital the previous night.

Seeing the receptionist's alluring red lips, Xiao Jiba nodded slightly.

The days in the hospital were almost unbearable; if his family hadn't spent a fortune, his manhood might have been lost forever.

However, Xiao Jiba no longer dared to trouble Lin Hai.

In Huadu, he was just a Third-rank playboy, even Zuo Liu was slightly better than him. The same night he was discharged, the top playboys of Huadu invited him for a drink.

Feeling flattered yet puzzled, Xiao Jiba went happily, only to be threatened by those rich playboys for half the day. While they never explicitly mentioned the name, Xiao Jiba caught the hint.

After nearly being drowned in alcohol by those playboys, his earlier thoughts of revenge against Lin Hai vanished into thin air.

He wasn't a fool; he finally realized that Lin Hai was a truly formidable figure and certainly not someone he could afford to offend.

Just then, another figure approached the reception desk.

"Brother Lin, hello." The receptionist's eyes brightened even more. Compared to Xiao Jiba, she was more fond of Lin Hai's robust stature.

Lin Hai nodded slightly and suddenly caught sight of Xiao Jiba staring at him.

"Oh yo, Young Master Xiao, you've been discharged?" Lin Hai flashed a mischievous grin.

Xiao Jiba felt a shock of terror, thinking to himself, "Could it be that Lin Hai still remembers what happened last time?"

Now, however, he didn't dare to be arrogant with Lin Hai again. After witnessing the forbidding glares from those untouchable playboys as they left, not even a hundred times the courage would make him act pretentious in front of Lin Hai.

"Brother Lin, I was ignorant before and offended you. I've been thinking ever since I left the hospital about immediately apologizing to you," Xiao Jiba hurriedly said, with an extremely respectful demeanor and a look of awe in his eyes towards Lin Hai.

The receptionist was so surprised she couldn't close her mouth.

Lin Hai bore no real resentment towards Xiao Jiba; after all, he had beaten him to nearly becoming a eunuch and wanted no more grudges, but it was a bit surprising, why had Xiao Jiba suddenly become so polite to him?

"Just yesterday, I had the good fortune to drink with Young Master Yu and others, and that's when I realized what a true den of dragons and tigers this is. Before, I was simply blind and stupid," Xiao Jiba explained, seeing the confusion in Lin Hai's eyes.

Lin Hai nodded in sudden realization, feeling grateful towards Tianlin and the others in his heart.

"Brother Lin, when I was in the hospital, I pondered deeply about the words you had once said to me. I've now come to a Sudden Enlightenment and have decided to follow you from now on, learning how to be a good person in a peaceful society."

It must be said that Xiao Jiba had indeed inherited his father's kung fu in flattery.

Lin Hai couldn't help but be amused; it seemed this guy had genuinely been scared. But that was good—such a person could be useful to him.

The receptionist was so astounded that she felt her brain stop working, staring blankly in place.

"This is Young Master Xiao after all, the son of the head of the police. He's showing so much respect to Brother Lin, who's a security guard? Even trying to ingratiate himself?" she thought with a deep shock.

"Brother Lin, are you free tonight? It's my treat, I would like to host you properly, hoping that you could give me a chance to make amends," Xiao Jiba earnestly said.

Lin Hai thought for a moment and then nodded, whispering to him, "And while you're at it, cancel that order you placed in the Black Restricted Zone, okay?"

Xiao Jiba's eyes instantly revealed an utter shock, his heart racing, color draining from his face, and cold sweat dripping drop by drop to the floor.

Once more astonished and shocked, the receptionist wondered what Brother Lin could have possibly said to Young Master Xiao to scare him to such an extent.
