Aren't we friends? Why are you rushing at me?

"He's acting so outrageously, haven't you considered that they might have some kind of mental illness?"

Lin Shi quickly asked, as if he had discovered a blind spot.

Upon hearing this, Lin Tingquan shrugged helplessly. After his outburst, he had completely let go of his burdens and continued to mock Lin's father, echoing Lin Shi's words:

"He's the head of the household, yet he puts on airs every day. If you were him, would you dare to guess or say he's sick?"

After listening to Lin Tingquan's words, Lin Shi nodded, convinced: "That's true."

Then he pulled Lin Tingquan aside and said:

"Lin Tingquan, look at this, I think your dad is sick."

"The room layout is like a show flat, mealtimes are set at fixed times, even your housekeeper's bow tie is measured exactly the same every moment. Isn't this a clear sign of obsessive-compulsive personality disorder?"

"And also, he demands that all of you sit up straight and have impeccable manners. I suspect he might even have a controlling personality."

"Does he lack control at the company and can only exert authority at home? Otherwise, you wouldn't have the idea to rebel."

Lin Shi spoke eloquently, analyzing his father's symptoms and possible illnesses. Lin Tingquan, like a dutiful son, nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm telling you, he's at the company..."

Before he could finish speaking, a voice suddenly rang out, somewhat sarcastic and tinged with anger:

"Thank you, young friend, for pointing out my symptoms."

"Obsessive-compulsive personality? Controlling personality? Weak control over the company?"

"I had no idea Tingquan knew such a talented and ambitious person, hahahahahahahahahahahaha"

Lin Shi and Lin Tingquan looked in the direction of the sound and saw Lin's father standing in a secluded corner.

His face was ashen, clearly he had been eavesdropping for a long time, and he stared intently at the two of them.

Perhaps it was a habit from many years ago, but when Lin Tingquan saw his father angry, despite his previous grand pronouncements, his first reaction was to bow and apologize.

Lin Shi watched Lin Tingquan's actions, sighed softly, and grabbed the back of his collar.

They forcefully pulled him back to a straight posture.

"Stand up! No kneeling allowed."

"You were just telling me you were resisting so much, and now you want to 'kneel down' to me?"

Upon hearing Lin Shi's words, Lin Tingquan shuddered and slowly turned to look at Lin Shi.

He slapped himself hard across the face, as if to say why he had been so pathetic.

Then he straightened up and looked coldly at Lin's father.

Seeing this scene, Lin's father's anger intensified, but he still tried to speak in a "refined" voice, seemingly wanting to prove that Lin Shi's description of the illness was wrong:

"Tingquan, come here. If you come here, I'll pretend nothing that just happened."

"As for that young man, I'll handle it myself; you don't need to worry about it."

Listening to his father's threats and inducements, Lin Shi turned to look at Lin Tingquan, wanting to see what his choice would be.

If this kid really proves to be hopeless, he doesn't plan to be polite anymore. He's not going to return the eight million, but he's also not going to bother with the mess the Lin family is making.

At worst, we can force Lin Qingyao and Lin Wanrou to leave. At most, we can bring two more people with us when we go abroad. What's there to be afraid of?

But if Lin Tingquan can stand up for himself, then he'll stand his ground and fight to the bitter end. It's cowardly to back down after being trampled on like that; he'll fight to the death. Let's see who's tougher.

As for whether they can forcibly take Lin Qingyao and Lin Wanrou away or whether they can stand their ground with Lin Tingquan to the end.

Lin Shi was never worried:

Putting aside the fact that he still has two unused lottery draws, just the fact that Ye Cheng, the "male lead," is still present means he's unlikely to get into trouble.

As for always clinging to women's coattails, isn't it a bit too embarrassing for Ye Cheng to bear the brunt of it?

Lin Shi didn't think so.

They're the main characters, why are you still letting them hug you?

Wouldn't you be stupid not to hug him?

Lin Shi snapped out of his thoughts and turned his gaze back to Lin Tingquan.

After listening to his father's words, Lin Tingquan did not hesitate at all. He stood firmly in place, slowly raised his head, looked down at his father, and slowly extended his middle finger, clearly expressing his stance.

"Lin Duzhan, damn it."

"Well done! You didn't embarrass me!"

Seeing that Lin Tingquan had made a decision, Lin Shi couldn't fall behind, so he quickly opened the lottery interface in his mind.

The familiar lottery wheel appeared before his eyes instantly, and Lin Shi clicked the lottery wheel twice without hesitation.

Come on, Ye Cheng! Let me borrow your "male lead" luck.

The wheel spun rapidly, its two pointers slowly tracing the various prizes. Unlike the last draw, this time the pointers didn't accelerate at all, finally stopping steadily in the center of "Combat Skills (Master)" and "Strong Physique".

No, the system isn't even putting on a show anymore, is it?

Why are you even holding a lottery?

Why bother turning the pointer at all?

Why don't you just send me the reward via email?

However, the system did not give Lin Shi much time to complain.

A familiar surge of heat suddenly coursed through his body, almost making Lin Shi cry out in pleasure.

It felt somewhat similar to the last time I used the [Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivation Half-Hour Trial Ticket], only the effect wasn't as strong.

At the same time, memories related to "combat skills (master)" flooded into Lin Shi's mind instantly. Thanks to the simultaneous enhancement of his physical fitness, he did not experience any dizziness this time.

Feeling the power within his body, Lin Shi took a step forward, standing in front of Lin Tingquan.

Awesome! Absolutely awesome!

Ye Cheng, you absolutely have to be by my side when I go on lottery draws from now on!

Your luck is amazing!

With everything ready, Lin Shi and Lin Tingquan continued to coldly observe Lin's father.

Lin's father suppressed his anger and maintained a calm facade.

"Have you thought this through? Are you sure you want to bear the wrath of the Lin family?"

Lin Shi was already fearless, and now that he had gained new abilities, he was even more relaxed. He looked up at his father, his tone provocative:

"Come on, let's see just how big your anger is."

"If you're so tough, you'd better kill me in one fell swoop. If you leave me even with a breath left, I'll do nothing else for the rest of my life but keep targeting you."

"Someone come here!"

Hearing Lin Shi's provocation, Lin's father could no longer hold back and roared angrily.

Instantly, three burly bodyguards rushed out of the house and looked at Lin Shi.

The speed was so fast that it was clear they had been preparing inside the house for a long time, just waiting for Lin's father to summon them.

Lin Tingquan glanced at the bodyguard, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared for a fighting stance. He whispered:

"The three of them are top-notch home bodyguards."

"Old Deng is afraid of dying. He has a group of bodyguards outside the villa area, about ten people. I guess he has notified them as well."

"But they don't have the capability to acquire firearms, so it's alright. Are you sure you can handle it? And are your two female colleagues upstairs alright?"

Lin Shi glanced at Lin Tingquan, looked up at the building, nodded and smiled:

"It's alright, if something happens to the two of us, then nothing can happen to the two people upstairs."
