319: Was the Lin Group robbed? Is Lin Xuan being targeted by a mysterious organization? (Happy Lantern Festival!)
“Ghosts? Haha... Let's not even talk about how there's no such thing in this world.”
“Even if there were, if they dared to provoke me! I wouldn't mind making their souls scatter into oblivion!!!”
“...”
In the hospital room.
Su Fan, with his hands casually in his pockets, exuded an overbearing aura, his arrogant words echoing throughout the room.
Alright, →_→ this guy's having another bout of chuunibyou... Is this how people brag these days???
You're going to make ghosts' souls scatter into oblivion? Do you think you're a Taoist priest? Or an enlightened monk???
There are always oddballs every year, but this year seems to have an especially large number of them!!!
Unlike Lin Xuan, who was long accustomed to this, the two girls present rolled their eyes repeatedly, their skin crawling with goosebumps, so embarrassed they wanted to dig their toes into the floor... Meanwhile, Su Fan, feeling quite pleased with himself, asked Lin Xuan the reason for bringing his sister over...
“We're going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get our marriage certificate later. We passed by Mu Xiaowan's room and thought we'd drop in to visit.”
“Mu Xiaowan, your recovery seems to be going well, right?”
“...”
Lin Xuan's words were concise, stating his purpose clearly.
“Yes, I'm recovering very well. I should be discharged in a few days. Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your concern.”
“Also... I wish you both a happy marriage.”
Gazing at the elegant man, who perfectly matched her image of a Prince Charming, Mu Xiaowan's expression was complex, and she felt extremely envious of the girl in the wheelchair.
She had once fantasized about a beautiful future with Lin Xuan... Even though she knew she was a toad wanting to eat swan meat, she couldn't control her fanciful thoughts... Now... her beautiful dream was finally shattered... But even if it was just a dream, she was still very touched when she woke up... The only thing that made Mu Xiaowan deeply resentful was... Why are all the good men taken by other girls?! Ծ ‸ Ծ
There are so many high-quality men in this world, why can't one be given to her?! (╥╯^╰╥)
Why am I so unlucky, only encountering scumbags and weirdos?!!
w(゚Д゚)w When will the heavens take pity on me and grant me such a perfect man!!!
(# ̄~ ̄#) Just as Mu Xiaowan was so depressed she wanted to spit blood...
“You're going to get... get your marriage certificate?”
Su Fan was startled, his gaze lingering on Lin Xuan and his sister's faces for a few seconds... Then, as if he understood something, a rare, genuine smile appeared on his face, and he extended his hand to Lin Xuan.
“Congratulations, I wish you both happiness.”
If it had been during the period when Su Fan first returned to Magic City... he would definitely have been dissatisfied with Lin Xuan as his brother-in-law, thinking that this man was simply not worthy of his beautiful, fairy-like sister.
But as time went on, their understanding deepened.
Especially after realizing that his little sister harbored unique feelings for Lin Xuan, he gradually accepted Lin Xuan as his brother-in-law.
After all, no matter how ordinary this man was, his little sister's happiness was what mattered most... And after receiving the approval and blessings of his elder brother-in-law, as the brother-in-law, Lin Xuan felt a pleasant surprise and a natural surge of responsibility that a man should possess.
His expression was solemn as he reached out and firmly clasped Su Fan's hand.
“Thanks ♪(・ω・)ノ Thank you! Brother-in-law... ahem, Brother Su Fan! I will definitely make Qingge happy!”
“I hope you remember what you said today and don't go back on your word. Because those philandering scumbags, and also abusive men, never come to a good end.”
“...”
Su Fan tightened his grip slightly on his brother-in-law's hand, his tone becoming heavier, with an implied meaning.
Although he had completely accepted his sister's marriage.
But if this man dared to make his sister feel wronged or sad in the rest of her life.
Then he wouldn't mind a sudden accident occurring, humanely destroying the scumbag... Unlike the others in the hospital room... Lin Xuan clearly understood the hidden meaning in his elder brother-in-law's words, and he unconsciously touched his nose, looking a bit awkward...
【Oh, my elder brother-in-law, you worry too much.】
【I am a pure love warrior! Ever since I met your sister, other women are nothing but painted skeletons in my eyes...】
【You can rest 1,000,000 percent assured! →_→】
【I will take care of your sister, I will inherit your family, do not worry. Hehehe...】
...Not far away, Su Qingge in the wheelchair looked utterly bewildered.
o((⊙﹏⊙))o
She felt a bit inexplicable; when did these two men become so close?!
And I'm the one you're going to get your marriage certificate with, hey... Lin Xuan, why are you making so many promises to an outsider? |_・)???
If some uninformed person saw this, they might even think Su Fan is some relative of mine? (O_o)???
Although we both share the surname Su, we're not related in the slightest, okay?
At most, we might have been from the same family eight hundred years ago... Su Qingge rubbed her forehead, speechless.
The sight of the two men shaking hands and embracing reminded her of movies where the male and female leads get married... At the wedding, the father holds his daughter's hand and then gives her to the groom, giving her to another man, as if completing a ceremony of passing on responsibility...
Thinking of this, a sudden, inexplicable wave of sadness welled up in Su Qingge's heart.
【If only Father were truly still alive...】
“Qingge? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Noticing the girl's unusual expression, Lin Xuan quickly stepped forward, asking with concern.
“Hm? I'm fine.”
Su Qingge smiled and shook her head, indicating there was no need to worry.
After a few polite exchanges with Su Fan, the two parties said their goodbyes and parted ways... Two and a half minutes later.
Su Fan casually found an excuse and got up to leave the ward.
After all, she was his sister; he wanted to witness her marriage as a family member until the very end. This was the only thing he could do for now... Ding-a-ling-ling—
In the hospital corridor, Lin Xuan answered a call; it was Ma Yingzhe calling him.
“(#`O´) Hello? Old Ma?”
“BOSS, something's happened!” The anxious voice of Ma Yingzhe came from the other end of the line.
“Hm? What is it?”
Hearing this, Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, but his expression remained as usual, listening calmly to Ma Yingzhe's report.
“Mm-hmm, I understand. It's nothing, I have it handled. That's all for now, I have something else to attend to here.”
Beep-beep-beep—
After hanging up the phone, Su Qingge turned back curiously, asking with concern.
“What's wrong? Did you encounter some trouble?”
“No, just some decisions within the Lin Corporation. The people under me couldn't make up their minds, so they came to ask for my instructions...”
“Oh.”
“Let's go, Qingge. We'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get our certificate now. From now on, you'll be my true and proper wife! Love you~~~ (๑′ᴗ‵๑) I Lᵒᵛᵉᵧₒᵤ♦”
“Cough cough ─━ _ ─━✧... You're so flirtatious~~~”
“...”
The two walked out of the hospital gate, chatting and laughing.
And Su Qingge, whose attention had been diverted, didn't notice... Behind her, Lin Xuan, pushing her wheelchair, was chatting and laughing with her, but a hint of thoughtfulness appeared in his eyes...
Ma Yingzhe's call just now indeed reported some company matters to him.
However, it wasn't to ask for instructions on some business decisions of the corporation, but to inform him that the corporation had been invaded and robbed by an unknown force last night...
【Minds Eye Brightening Elixir: Can improve vision, and alleviate vision problems such as myopia and hyperopia.】
【dreamland calming capsule: Can treat sleep problems such as insomnia and anxiety, helping people fall asleep quickly.】
【Hundred Flavors Fragrance Pill: Can improve taste, eliminate bad breath, and make breath fresh, suitable for various social occasions.】
Currently, the Lin Corporation under Lin Xuan's name, relying on the sales of these several epoch-making products, as well as the fame bonus of the talented singer [L].
In terms of market value, it has completely shaken off the previous bankruptcy crisis, its stock price has soared, not only returning to the peak of the Lin Jianjun era but also growing at a rapid pace...
Such enormous economic benefits naturally attracted the envy and scrutiny of many forces, as well as the hostility of industry giants in sectors like eyewear and medical care whose interests were affected.
Among them, the medicinal formulas that could produce such miraculous products were even more coveted by many forces; they would try every possible means to obtain them, even resorting to unscrupulous methods.
For example, the news that the company was invaded and robbed by “rats” last night... Lin Xuan was not surprised at all after hearing it; in his mind, it was only a matter of time before this happened.
Therefore, he had long ordered the product manufacturing methods to be broken down into a dozen small programs, so even if an intruder obtained a part of them, it would be meaningless.
The reason Ma Yingzhe called him in such a hurry was not because the formula was stolen.
Instead, he had received word that someone seemed to be targeting Lin Xuan and asked if he needed to send more bodyguards.
As the saying goes: Man dies for wealth, birds die for food.
Whether it was for the Beauty Pill's formula or to force the true identity of [L] out of Lin Xuan's mouth and obtain the manufacturing methods for the other products, some people would always choose to take risks for huge profits.
“Coming after me? That's even better, I don't mind catching them all in one go.”
“After all, there's only a thousand days to be a thief, but no thousand days to guard against one. Over time, there will always be moments of negligence, so it's better to deal with them as soon as possible to feel at ease...”
“...”
Lin Xuan thought as he carried Su Qingge into the back seat of the Maybach.
Rumble—
With the roaring of the car, the two quickly headed towards the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Actually, with the current power of the Su Family, even if they didn't personally go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, they could arrange for subordinates to process the marriage certificate and deliver it.
But Lin Xuan always felt that this was too formal, lacking any real sense of getting married.
As a true Chinese person, he still preferred to personally go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, watching the staff stamp the seal and complete the certificate for him with his own eyes...
“Boss, target has appeared! Repeat, target has appeared!”
“Follow them and observe the situation. If there's a suitable opportunity, act directly; if not, observe in secret first. Remember not to alert the enemy! We only have one chance!”
“Understood, Boss.”
Two and a half minutes after the Maybach departed... Outside the hospital, a white van, which had been parked for an unknown duration, slowly started and quietly followed in the direction Lin Xuan had left...
【(,,・∀・)ノ゛Hello! Dear readers! His Royal Highness is in despair and self-isolation after being scolded by his wife for being “too short,” a “weak dog,” and “useless” o(╥﹏╥)o. I, the filler writer, am secretly coming out to show my face! Long time no see, I've missed you all. Have you missed me!】
...Tang Family Manor.
The large iron gate at the entrance opened, and a luxurious car slowly drove in.
In the back seat, Chu Ling's mood was as complex and chaotic as the scenery rapidly passing outside the window.
“Is this... my home from now on?”
At this thought.
Chu Ling instinctively felt nervous, silently cheering herself on in her heart.
She knew she was about to enter a whole new world... But she genuinely yearned to integrate into it, find her own place, and find the family affection she had once dreamed of...
Finally, the car stopped in front of a magnificent villa.
Through the rear window, Chu Ling saw the imposing building, and a sense of shock welled up in her heart.
She had never seen such a grand and luxurious villa; every detail exuded opulence and nobility.
Compared to the red-brick and tile houses in her village, it was like heaven and earth.
At this moment, Chu Ling unconsciously tightened her grip on the tissue in her hand, her knuckles turning slightly white from the excessive force.
“Xiao Ling, let's get out! We're home.”
“This is Mom and Dad's home, and it's where you'll live from now on, your home...”
...Today was the first day of self-discipline, and I failed. o(╥﹏╥)o
Self-discipline is so hard, tomorrow, on the second day, I must truly rise up!!!
I'm still short 2,000 characters, I'll make it up tomorrow. I could have finished it today~
But the Lantern Festival is approaching, and I just got married, so according to the customs here in Chaoshan, we have to worship the gods. 【We basically worship every month...】
Tomorrow, I also have to set off fireworks, the kind you hold in your hand, I don't understand (⊙_⊙)?
Anyway, since I got married, I have to. Tonight, I went to two places to worship consecutively, which delayed my writing... (._. )ノ I'm sorry~~~ Sorry, I'll post 6,000 characters together tomorrow!
Also, I wish everyone a Happy Lantern Festival in advance, and a little request for 'power for love', Thanks ♪(・ω・)ノ.
Unlike the dense crowds during the day, there are slightly fewer people worshipping at night...
