Ling Qianhe reached out his hand.
Lin Muci seemed to be bewitched, walking towards him.
Ling Qianhe grabbed her, pulling her towards him.
She heard his voice, deep and exceptionally pleasant.
"Are you being this disobedient?"
Lin Muci felt like crying but had no tears.
She desperately wanted to explain herself to Ling Qianhe.
Ling Qianhe's fingertips, however, traced her cheek, gripping it tightly.
The light in his eyes gradually turned ferocious, bone-chilling.
As if he wanted to devour her.
Lin Muci felt utterly helpless.
Couldn't Ling Qianhe just listen to her explanation for a moment?
But Ling Qianhe clearly wouldn't.
"Come with me."
Lin Muci hadn't forgotten that Zhou Yuan'an's father was still on the plane.
If she turned and left now, what about Zhou Yuan'an's father?
She looked at Yang Lanyan with a touch of helplessness.
"I have to take the person with me."
Yang Lanyan looked at her meaningfully.
"Can you?"
Ling Qianhe, clearly displeased with her cryptic exchange with another man, frowned.
"Who? Who are you taking?"
Lin Muci could only explain slowly.
Facing a man whose blackening value had reached one hundred percent, she became much more compliant.
"It's Zhou Yuan'an's father."
"He's being held in the bunker of this research institute. Yang Lanyan and I collaborated to rescue him."
"Zhou Yuan'an's father was a crew member on the cruise ship Ice Queen."
"The cargo he was responsible for was a batch of drugs. There was a leak, and he was captured by the institute... becoming a research subject."
"I cooperated with Yang Lanyan to save him."
She believed her explanation was clear enough.
But Ling Qianhe let out a cold laugh.
His eyes fixed on her, heavy and unyielding.
He retorted, his voice as cold as ice.
"Why did you find Yang Lanyan?"
"Why didn't you come to me? Don't you trust me?"
"You'd rather go to another man than me. What is my place in your heart?"
The wolf cub younger brother was angry.
And the kind that couldn't be appeased.
Lin Muci was a little annoyed.
The reason she approached Yang Lanyan was because the system's clues indicated that Yang Lanyan was the controller of the sewage company!
And the recent maintenance of the sewage pipes of Aisenlike Fortress was the only breakthrough.
Of course, she had to find him!
She didn't know that Ling Qianhe could control the world's largest mercenary group... but speaking of which, why could Ling Qianhe control the world's largest mercenary group?
Ling Qianhe, however, looked up directly at Yang Lanyan.
His style of handling matters.
Was indeed swift and decisive.
"Hand over Zhou Yuan'an's father to me."
Lin Muci was anxious.
"He has the virus... ordinary people can't touch him..."
Ling Qianhe, however, said.
"But I'm not ordinary."
"I'll give you the car, the plane is mine. We'll exchange, and you can get lost."
He spoke to Yang Lanyan without the slightest politeness, not giving him any face.
Yang Lanyan sneered three times.
"With you?"
Ling Qianhe said.
"Your plane is manned by my people. They are all top international mercenaries. They won't listen to you. Guess if I can make you stay in this wilderness forever?"
"Of course, I know that if I shoot you, your subordinates will retaliate fiercely. I'm not afraid myself, but I have someone I need to protect."
"Unless it's absolutely necessary, I won't take that step."
"So you can leave."
"The car is yours."
"Get lost, disappear from my sight."
The black Hummer stopped in the wilderness.
Ling Qianhe pulled Lin Muci onto the plane. Lin Muci stared blankly at his profile, as if seeing another world, brimming with blood and carnage, in an instant.
Swords and guns bloomed in his eyes.
He took her onto the helicopter, leaving Yang Lanyan behind.
The helicopter ascended.
Lin Muci still felt a sense of unreality!
Chihiro... was this wild, this overbearing?
His negotiations were so crisp and efficient.
Giving the opponent no chance to retaliate.
While she was still in a daze, Ling Qianhe pushed her against him.
There were only the pilot and a co-pilot in the front cabin of the plane, unable to see what was happening behind them.
He lowered his head and kissed her lips fiercely, as if he had gone mad. His lips ground against hers.
Fiery and scorching.
Lin Muci felt her lips were about to swell from Ling Qianhe's kiss, her mouth about to be broken!
Her lips visibly swollen.
But it couldn't satisfy Ling Qianhe.
He sneered, lowered his head, and looked at her wide, panicked eyes, then whispered into her ear.
"You can't handle this already?"
"But you were with Yang Lanyan for several hours before, weren't you?"
"What did you do?"
"Did he kiss the places I kissed?"
"Did other men touch the places I touched?"
He was jealous.
This was definitely jealousy!
Lin Muci frantically summoned the system in her mind.
"How do I appease a jealous man?"
The system coughed several times, appearing very troubled.
"This... this... Host, we suggest you give up. We don't think you can appease him at all."
"If you obediently apologize and stand at attention to be punished... it might help a little."
This damned, useless system!
Where were its experiences?
Where had they gone?
Meanwhile, Ling Qianhe was nuzzling her chest. He grabbed her wrist, forcing her palm against his chest.
"Feel my heartbeat?"
"Lin Muci, do you want me to die?"
"Have you ever thought about how I felt when I knew you eloped with another man?"
"I thought you were leaving me again, you damn woman, unrepentant."
"But I still suffer for you!"
Lin Muci pursed her lips, her voice trembling slightly.
"It's not what you think. I was really saving someone... When we were in China before, Yang Lanyan introduced me to Dr. Stephen. I found some astonishing things in his research institute."
"Ling Qianhe, don't be ungrateful. I'm doing this for you!"
Ling Qianhe sneered.
"You're too good at making excuses."
"Eloping with another man, for my own good?"
However, her words seemed to awaken some of his buried memories.
For your own good—he remembered her saying similar words in his memory.
He calmed down slightly.
The system breathed a sigh of relief.
"Host, his blackening value has decreased by ten percent! His blackening value has improved. Hurry up and use this window to explain properly!"
Lin Muci was also organizing her words.
"I know you were injected with the SZ637 agent as a child. This agent is very dangerous. From the data I found from Dr. Stephen, this agent is a precursor to the Super God agent."
"The SZ637 agent once leaked. I suspect that Madam Ling might have obtained it and injected it into you!"
"And Zhou Yuan'an's father, Zhou Di, is the father of my classmate. Since I found his information, I can't just ignore him."
"On the other hand, the agent in him might also be related to the Super God agent..."
"I approached Yang Lanyan because his sewage company provided a way to access Aisenlike Fortress."
"Which is where Zhou Di is being held."
"I didn't tell you because I thought it was too dangerous and didn't want to drag you down."
"I didn't know you owned the world's largest mercenary company!"
"I didn't want to put you in such great danger, Ling Qianhe, do you understand?"
"There was nothing between Yang Lanyan and me. I gave him a hundred million US dollars in exchange for him taking me to Aisenlike Fortress. I refused all his other unreasonable demands!"
She felt she had explained it clearly.
If Ling Qianhe had any sense, he would understand what was going on.
However, what Lin Muci never expected was that Ling Qianhe turned to look at her, keenly catching the most crucial point.
"What other demands did he make?"
"He made a move on you?"
"Wanted you as his woman?"
The murderous intent in Ling Qianhe's eyes was chilling.
"I'll blow him up with a cannonball!"
He would never show mercy to a love rival!
