Lin Hai furrowed his brow; from all the observations upon entering the room, Lin Jiang didn't seem to have any intentions of deceiving or hiding anything.

Yet, he still couldn't bring himself to trust.

Perhaps in the lower echelons, there was no need for intrigues, but once you reach the upper levels, nearly everyone survives wearing a mask, and you can never see through what lies beneath their guise of kindness.

"You're part of the Lin Family, by seniority, you're my elder brother."

"You're a direct lineage from Grandpa's branch; back then, your father was the pride of Yanjing, the foremost among the Super Young Masters."

"Sadly, a change occurred more than twenty years ago, causing the Lin Family to fall into decline."

Lin Jiang seemed to be recounting past historical events.

"What was my father's name?"

This is what Lin Hai desperately wanted to know.

"I don't know exactly, because I hadn't been born yet at that time. I've only heard snippets from family members. The name from your father's lineage is now taboo in the Lin Family; youngsters don't know, and the older generation remains silent on it."

Lin Jiang responded.

Lin Hai shook his head, is this supposed to be a clue?

Knowing he's part of the Lin Family?

Meaningless.

"Is that all?"

Lin Hai blinked his eyes.

"There's one more thing; I hope you can join forces with me against the Cao Family."

"Give me a reason."

Lin Hai felt this was the true purpose behind the Demon Young Master seeking him out.

"Because the Cao Family has always been at odds with the Lin Family."

"Sorry, I don't have any sense of belonging to the Lin Family."

Lin Hai shook his head, according to the Demon Young Master, the Lin Family is currently engulfed in fierce internal strife, if his unknown father was truly from the Lin Family, why didn't they protect him back then?

Furthermore, when he was walking the boundary between life and death, did the Lin Family ever seek him out?

"Over the years, some from the Lin Family have indeed tried to find you, but your father did things very secretively back then; no one knows who you are or where you are."

The Demon Young Master sighed.

"Saying this is useless." Lin Hai shook his head.

"What if I told you, the family that once persecuted your father included the Cao Family?" The Demon Young Master spoke again.

Lin Hai squinted his eyes.

"Really?"

"Absolutely, otherwise why would I oppose the Cao Family?" The Demon Young Master said, adding: "We are of the same lineage, my father and your father were brothers."

"Alright then, what do I need to do to deal with the Cao Family?" Lin Hai asked.

He agreed mainly because the Cao Family seemed to have ulterior motives towards Ouyang Xiaoya.

"For now, there's nothing you need to do; I know you're with Long Hai, in service of Old Mr. Tao, who also had a kindness towards me back in the day."

"I value your capability; at a critical moment, I hope you can assist me."

"As a token of sincerity, Xue Meigui becomes yours in the future. Her Rose Corps of thirty people also belongs to you, including the three billion in liquid assets under their control."

The Demon Young Master said.

"Master..." Xue Meigui opened her mouth with difficulty.

The Demon Young Master shook his head: "Lin Hai is my elder brother, isn't he fit to be your new master?"

"But..." Xue Meigui looked at Lin Hai, who was dressed like a migrant worker, with a complicated expression.

"Wow? Can't tell, Sister Blood, you seemed quite well-off, considered a little leader." Lin Hai chuckled and blinked his eyes.

"Hmph, you're the Big Blood!" Xue Meigui said through gritted teeth.

"Ahem, from now on I am your master." After finishing, Lin Hai suddenly rolled his eyes with a mischievous intent and asked the Demon Young Master: "If I'm the master, does it mean if I tell her to live, she wouldn't dare to die, if I tell her to die, she'd jump into a pit of fire instantly?"

The Demon Young Master didn't answer but nodded his head.

"Then, can she serve the bed?" Lin Hai blinked his eyes.

Xue Meigui suddenly burned with anger, but was bound not to act badly due to the Demon Young Master.

The Demon Young Master hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

"Master!" Xue Meigui looked urgently at the Demon Young Master.

Lin Hai interjected: "Sister Blood, you're calling the wrong person; I am your master from now on."

After saying this, a certain beast intentionally licked his lips.

"Don't even think about it, I'd rather die!" Xue Meigui gritted her teeth.

"Hehe, it's not that easy to let you die, I pity you too much for that."

Lin Hai intentionally rubbed his hands together, his face full of desire.

"Beast!" Xue Meigui gritted her teeth, wanting to cry but having no tears.

"Even the CEO calls me that, eh? You get into the role quite quickly, hehe."

"Young Master!" Xue Meigui urgently called out to the Demon Young Master once again.

"Little Xue, elder brother isn't that kind of person."

"Right, I'm not that kind of person, Big Blood."

Lin Hai said with a serious face.

Big Blood!

Why does this term always give people a lewd feeling?

Xue Meigui felt her future was going to be dark and miserably cruel.

The once-disdainful Migrant Lin, suddenly transformed, had an extraordinary identity; most important of all, the one she used to look down upon had become her master!

"Your gaze is so disgusting, you could totally become a grass-sliding hack H writer!" Xue Meigui grumbled angrily.

Lin Hai shook his head: "In this age where everything watched needs to be fast-forwarded, how big do you think the market for H writing is? You'd starve to death, might as well work as a migrant or security guard to earn money."

"..." Is this the ultimate expression of lack of ambition?

Xue Meigui was completely speechless towards her new master.

"Brother, if there's anything in Yanjing requiring my help, have Little Xue promptly inform me." The Demon Young Master stood up, respectfully bowing to Lin Hai once more.

Lin Hai waved his hand, saying: "Since we are a family, let's not say those courteous words. Thank you for secretly protecting Mengru."

"It's what I should do." Lin Jiang's tone remained cold, but it was evident that he acknowledged Lin Hai's identity.

"Since it's this way, farewell, the wives are waiting at home to interrogate."

Originally, the presidential suite, with its luxurious style, and the superior stature of the Demon Young Master during the significant meeting, because of these last words, the scene instantly fell apart.

After departing, as soon as he reached outside, Lin Hai suddenly noticed four or five big men with malicious intent walking towards him.

"Sister Blood, did you offend someone?" Lin Hai asked.

"Migrant Lin, make it clear, their gaze is directed at you." Xue Meigui's forehead filled with black lines.

"Remember, from now on, call me Master." Lin Hai teased.

Xue Meigui's eyebrows knitted together, but there was nothing she could do.

"Migrant Lin, who would've thought that you're actually Xue Meigui's secret lover."

"But indeed, your physique is sturdy, quite impressive in terms of capital."

A flirtatious voice emerged from behind the four or five big men.

It was none other than—Miss Bao.

"Tsk tsk, Miss Bao, do you have a crush on me? Pulling off such a big show." Lin Hai squinted, smiling as he asked.

From the aura these big men exuded, it could be inferred that their hands had blood on them, definitely not good people.

"Ha, you're hilarious, would this Miss Bao really fancy a beggar-like migrant like you?"

"Get on with it!"

Lin Hai also turned his head, speaking to Xue Meigui: "Sister Blood, capture the king first; you handle these small fry, I'll deal with Miss Bao."

Having said that, leaving Xue Meigui no time for a white-eye moment, Lin Hai had already shouted loudly, circumvented the four or five big men, towards Miss Bao, rushed madly, shouting aloud: "Abalone, taste my Old Lin's stick!"
