"CEO, Lin will be staying up all night to make sure he picks you up from the airport on time, hehe."

Lin Hai put on a smile, sensing the CEO wasn't in the best of moods over the phone. Better not to push it.

Queen Qi's teeth clenched with a grating sound.

Her small fists tightened, the uniform of the little brother on the ground being flung into the bushes by invisible Gang Qi.

Maybe the next day, a garbage-collecting uncle will find it and cherish it like a treasure, taking it home.

As for whether it can be used, that's another matter. At least it's benefiting society.

"Oh, so you're not that big, huh?" Xue Meigui heard it clearly and immediately seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.

Queen Qi had an urge to storm over and smash Beast Lin's phone on the ground, stomping it with her red high heels to the level of a Super First-class Expert.

Damn it! It's too embarrassing!

The invisible embarrassment was even more frustrating.

"Eh? Why is there another woman's voice on the phone, and she even knows you're called Beast Lin? Could it be your infamous name reached Yanjing?" Ouyang Xiaoya snorted coldly on the phone.

Lin Hai wiped the sweat off his forehead furiously. These two women nearly wore him out. If the goddess Xiaoya gets more upset, tonight might definitely be a sleepless night, and a sorrowful one at that.

So, he hurriedly explained, "CEO, it's Old Qi, she came to close a case and popped in to see me."

"Oh, Old Qi. I wondered why she disappeared mysteriously like a stealthy move. Turns out she snuck to Yanjing to meet you?" Ouyang Xiaoya huffed.

Queen Qi also heard the voice on the phone, and her demeanor changed, quickly withdrawing her dominating aura.

After all, the person on the phone is the main wife... while she, could only be a... damn mistress ah ah ah.

"No, honey. Am I the type who fools around with others?" Lin Hai said righteously, resembling a model of moral ethics.

Someone on the phone seemed to choke on their drink.

Then, the CEO's icy voice came through: "You beast, who said you went for a fool-around? Can't you be more civilized?"

"It was your good self who said I was fooling around with Old Qi." Lin Hai blinked innocently.

At the mention of "fooling around," Queen Qi's face immediately turned bright red, down to her neck, feeling incredibly bashful.

Xue Meigui sneered, "Hopeless romantic."

"Better than your frigidity," Old Qi retorted with a brilliant comeback.

"You beast, wait until this CEO arrives and I'll give you a good thrashing," Ouyang Xiaoya said coquettishly, anger in her voice.

"Ah, CEO, what time is your flight arriving tonight? Lin and Old Qi will definitely come to pick you up personally." Lin Hai nodded and bowed, changing the subject.

"AM, 2:30."

"Oh? 2:30 in the morning, huh? I'm not bad at either English or Chinese, hehe."

"Don't get cocky."

The CEO hung up.

Lin Hai let out a long sigh but soon felt a headache coming on.

It seems like Queen Qi and Xue Meigui's rivalry is starting up all over again.

"Old Qi, have a good rest tonight. I'll pick up Xiaoya and, by the way, book her a room." Lin Hai advised earnestly, worried Queen Qi might suddenly get overwhelmingly jealous and cause trouble.

"Mm, I'll listen to you, Linlin." Queen Qi nodded like a well-behaved kitten.

"Good, that's a good Old Qi."

Lin Hai chuckled. At crucial moments, Old Qi really comes through.

"How many women are you involved with?" Xue Meigui scornfully asked.

"I'm pure..."

Lin Hai hadn't finished when Queen Qi spoke up for him, even learning to jump in, "Hmph, let me tell you, you can only be a minor."

"Though I'm not the main one, Xiaoya is definitely the main one."

"Aside from Xiaoya, there's me, I'm the second."

"Apart from me, there's Tao Xia, she's the third."

"Below Tao Xia is Liu Qianhui, she's the fourth, and then... well, there's the Thirteen Butterfly, they're ranked from fifth to eighteenth, and as for you, you can only be a small nineteen."

Finished, Queen Qi had a deliberate challenging look.

Xue Meigui stared at Lin Hai with shock and endless black lines.

This... what a top-quality existence is this guy? He can have more than a dozen women simultaneously.

And he's still alive and well; he even seems to enjoy the occasional mild sweetness. How does he manage to coordinate relationships between this many women?

"Sigh, I never intended to be unique, but circumstances are beyond reproach. I wanted to draw from a vast ocean, only one ladle, yet..."

"Yet found yourself amidst a swarm of flowers?" Xue Meigui snorted, mocking.

"Wrong, ended up discovering the ladle's volume is a bit large, and it seems more like a large water tank." Lin Hai meekly replied.

"...."

Speechless.

"Alright, let's head home; Mingyue and the others can't wait any longer."

Lin Hai adjusted the atmosphere, diverting attention.

Walking on the way home, Queen Qi curiously asked Lin Hai, "Linlin, did you find your sister?"

Lin Hai nodded, "But you have to keep it a secret. She doesn't know I exist as her brother yet."

"Oh? Why don't you reveal your identity?" Queen Qi wondered.

Lin Hai sighed, pointing at himself: "You see how shabby I am, that's why."

"It's fine, you're such a good person. Your sister surely won't be a snob," Queen Qi said something heartfelt straightforwardly.

"Old Qi, you're so good to me." Lin Hai smiled happily.

Sh*t, only here with Old Qi can he find that sense of being praised.

This feeling... vaguely reminiscent of when he was in elementary school and got a compliment for helping the teacher carry water, suggesting that when he grew up, he'd definitely be skilled on a construction site.

"By the way, how are we dealing with this Ghost-faced Man?" Lin Hai suddenly remembered there's still someone "embedded" in the wall.

Xue Meigui frowned, pondering for a moment: "Leave it to me to handle."

"Alright."

Lin Hai nodded, knowing Xue Meigui had influence, and handling this small affair in Yanjing should be no problem.

However, to be safe, he still walked over to the Ghost-faced Man, took a deep breath, raised his hand, and started tapping rapidly all over the person's body.

Heaven Stealing Sealing Points, a variation from the seventy-two styles of the Heavenly Creation Finger combination, effectively preventing the opponent from mobilizing their Gang Qi, leaving them to rely only on sheer physical strength.

For example, the now gravely injured Ghost-faced Man would probably be knocked over by even a loli like Hua Hua with a small stick; that's how fragile he became.

Back to the small shared house.

Situ Mingyue and Lin Mengru were shocked by Queen Qi's arrival.

Especially the invisible queen style that Queen Qi exuded, which left the two little sisters a bit in awe and curious about how Brother Lin came to know such a high-level female friend?

"Well, Old Qi, if you don't mind, you can sleep in my room tonight." Lin Hai said with a beaming smile.

"Sure!" Queen Qi said with no hesitation. Can she stay in the same room with Linlin tonight?

"Er, I'll sleep on the floor, okay." Lin Hai naïvely added.

Queen Qi instantly showed a face full of concern.

"But, Lin brother, won't the floor be hard for you?" Situ Mingyue kindly asked.

"Huh? How could the floor be hard? Don't worry, Brother Lin isn't a beast; his desires aren't that low."

After blurting out the unfiltered response, Lin Hai froze for a second. Did he... misunderstand the meaning?

Looking at the girls, black lines appeared on their foreheads, and their gazes at him were filled with extreme speechlessness.
