After Mad Dragon was released from prison, I shocked the world!

Chen Yuanyuan was completely dumbfounded. She had always thought that she was the hunter and Lin Li was the prey, but she never expected that she was the one who fell into the trap!

This man is not only incredibly strong, but also extremely cunning!

"You...you're shameless!"

Chen Yuanyuan was so angry that she trembled all over. Suddenly, she pounced on Lin Li and bit his forearm hard.

"hiss--"

Lin Li frowned, not expecting this woman, who was born in the Year of the Dog, to resort to such a trick.

A sharp pain shot through my arm, and blood immediately began to flow.

This woman really bit me; she didn't hold back at all!

"Release your grip!"

Lin Li said in a low voice, "It's not that I can't break free, but I'm sure I'll hurt Chen Yuanyuan."

Chen Yuanyuan completely ignored him and just kept pressing him!

"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences!"

Lin Li's eyes turned cold, and he raised his hand to slap Chen Yuanyuan's already red and swollen buttocks hard again.

Snapped!

"Hmm!"

Chen Yuanyuan groaned in pain, tears streaming down her face, but she wouldn't let go. Instead, she bit down even harder, muttering indistinctly, "Kill me... go ahead and kill me if you dare..."

"you!"

Lin Li felt helpless looking at Chen Yuanyuan's stubborn appearance.

This woman is incredibly stubborn; she won't submit no matter how much you hit her or scold her.

If the fighting continues, something really bad might happen.

"Alright! Let it go!"

Lin Li sighed silently, his tone softening slightly, "What exactly do you want? Isn't it just money?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuanyuan's teeth finally loosened a little, and she mumbled, "I need the account... and the password..."

"I can give it to you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuanyuan stared intently at Lin Li for a few seconds before slowly opening her mouth.

Seeing the deep, bone-revealing teeth marks on the man's arm and the seeping blood, her eyes flickered, but she still forced herself to speak.

"Are you really willing to give it to me?"

Lin Li glanced at the wound, casually grabbed a few tissues to press against it to stop the bleeding, and said coldly, "Why would I lie to you!"

Ignoring the pain in her bottom, Chen Yuanyuan immediately sat up straight and asked, "Really for me? All of it?"

"Dream on."

Lin Li rolled her eyes at her and said directly, "Old Dao entrusted his money to me for safekeeping precisely to keep an eye on you. What will happen to his daughter if I give it all to you?"

He rummaged through the bedside table and found paper and pen, quickly writing down a line of numbers and letters.

"This is an account and password."

Lin Li handed the note to Chen Yuanyuan, "This year's portion."

Chen Yuanyuan took the note, read it carefully several times, and only after confirming that there were no problems did she carefully put it away.

"Is this the only one?"

She asked, somewhat unwillingly.

"I told you, I'd give you one every year."

Lin Li looked at the greedy woman and said in a deep voice, "The premise is that you must continue to fulfill your responsibility of raising Lao Dao's daughter and ensure her safety and quality of life."

"If I find out you treat her badly, or have any ulterior motives towards her..."

His voice suddenly turned cold, "You won't get a single penny of the rest. And I'll make you regret doing this."

Looking into Lin Li's eyes, Chen Yuanyuan knew that this man was telling the truth.

"Hmph, I know."

She pursed her lips, somewhat dissatisfied, but knowing that this was the best outcome for the time being.

"I'm not some kind of pervert. I practically watched that girl grow up. Would I abuse her?"

Lin Li didn't say anything, but thought to himself: I'm afraid that Lao Dao is afraid that you won't be able to get back at him, so he deliberately went to torment his daughter.

Chen Yuanyuan glanced at Lin Li, her eyes suddenly becoming somewhat complicated, and said in a low voice, "Actually... my relationship with Lao Wang wasn't voluntary."

Lin Li raised an eyebrow but did not reply.

"At that time, something happened to my family, and we were driven to the brink of desperation. Old Wang helped my father, on the condition that I marry him."

Chen Yuanyuan gave a bitter smile. "He's so much older than me, and a complete brute. How could I possibly like him? But I have no choice. For my family's sake, I have to accept my fate."

"Old Wang made me his secretary, and I worked like crazy to prove that I wasn't just a pretty face, nor was I his appendage."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance at the man in front of her again. Thinking about what he had just done, she felt both angry and ashamed, but there was also a strange feeling mixed in with it.

"But Lao Wang treats me like a thief, he doesn't trust me at all, and even when he's about to go to jail, he still tries to trick me!"

Lin Li looked at Chen Yuanyuan, his heart not stirred much.

Everyone has their own story and hardships, but that is not a reason for her to act recklessly and hurt others.

"That's between you and your husband; I'm not interested."

Lin Li said calmly, "I'm only responsible for carrying out Lao Dao's instructions."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the door.

"Lin Li!"

Seeing Lin Li about to leave, Chen Yuanyuan felt anxious and couldn't help but call out.

Lin Li stopped and turned to look at her with a frown.

"You, you..."

Chen Yuanyuan looked at him, her expression somewhat awkward: "Didn't you already... already get up? Why didn't you... didn't you..."

She found it hard to say what came next. She had dared to say anything when she wanted to frame Lin Li, but now she felt her face burning.

Lin Li turned his head to stare at Chen Yuanyuan, noticing her face growing increasingly red. He couldn't help but chuckle, "Looks like you're disappointed I didn't mess with you?"

"Who, who said that!"

Chen Yuanyuan felt her cheeks burning and her head spinning. She started babbling incoherently, "Old Wang is no good at all. After we got married, we haven't... we haven't done anything like that!"

She only realized what she had said after she finished speaking, and she froze completely.

After hearing what Chen Yuanyuan said, Lin Li's expression became somewhat strange, and he felt that the atmosphere in the room was also becoming odd.

"One should not covet a friend's wife."

After saying this, he didn't give the woman on the bed a chance to speak again and quickly left the room.

……

It was already past midnight when I got back to my lodgings.

Lin Li pushed open the door, and a dim yellow light was still on in the living room.

Lei Xiangqing was fast asleep on the sofa, covered with a thin blanket.

Hearing the door open, she opened her eyes groggily and, seeing it was Lin Li, immediately sat up while rubbing her eyes.

"You're back?"

Lei Xiangqing yawned, her voice soft and sweet: "Why so late? Is something the matter?"

"fine."

Lin Li walked over and reached out to rub her head. "Why aren't you in bed so late?"

"I'll wait for you."

Lei Xiangqing gently rubbed Lin Li's hand against his palm, staring into his eyes as she said, "By the way, Yuehua is still waiting for you in the room. She said she has something to tell you."

Lin Li's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Is Auntie still awake?"
