"Of course, I know it's Chairman Ye. I just need to do a quick calculation to see if the CEO has balls or not," Lin Hai chuckled.

The CEO almost went into a rage instantly.

If it weren't for the serene surroundings that discouraged loud noise, Ouyang Xiaoya would have loved to deliver a kick to the groin of Beast Lin.

"Hmph, old grudges and new will be dealt with together later. Don't think you can get away with it; I've noted everything down," she thought to herself, biting her teeth, suppressing her anger, while speeding up her pace.

The scenery here was indeed nice.

Especially its serene, elegant vibe that instills a profound sense of calm and peace made one long for it.

Have to say, the owner here had an impeccable taste.

After rounding the front white villa, along a pebble path, there was a spacious swimming pool at the back.

Surrounding the pool was a stretch of green lawn.

At the moment, a woman in white casual jeans was standing on one leg, performing various moves with remarkable agility on the lawn.

The tight white jeans accentuated her wonderfully graceful figure.

Every movement was smooth, without the slightest rush.

Even a single glance at her silhouette exuded a calming presence.

Moreover, Lin Hai faintly detected an aura around her.

"Gang Qi!"

In one look, he recognized what that aura was.

Only a Supreme Strong can release Gang Qi, often using it at critical moments in battle because it consumes a great deal of energy.

Even Lin Hai, giving his all, could only maintain his Gang Qi for ten minutes before exhausting it.

Yet here, flowing faintly around this woman was Gang Qi, though the amount was very small, it was still astonishing.

Who would utilize Gang Qi for mundane workouts?

"At least Supreme Strong level!"

The moment this thought flashed, Lin Hai felt cold sweat soaking through his back.

How could he have let Ouyang Xiaoya casually interact with a Supreme Strong without any precaution?

If the person was an assassin or had ill intentions, what would become of Xiaoya...

For someone with a professional background in assassinations, sometimes renowned as the King of Assassins, even while blending into ordinary city life, he would consider everything from a professional standpoint.

As if sensing Lin Hai and Ouyang Xiaoya's arrival, the woman finished her last move, slowly lifting her thigh to a 180-degree manner and gently setting her foot down, her delicate foot seemed to have a deadly appeal to men.

The woman slowly turned her head, seeing Ouyang Xiaoya and catching Lin Hai's careful gaze.

Their eyes met briefly, and the woman smiled.

Lin Hai took a deep breath.

The woman's appearance, no longer young, bore the marks of time, clearly a woman over thirty.

However, whether it was the simple yet quality attire, the extraordinarily delicate facial features or the hair strands, they collectively formed a perfect aura.

"With a clear mind, the lotus blooms everywhere."

This phrase perfectly encapsulated the woman in front.

Her beauty transcended mere looks, and was more about her overall aura.

Seeing her calmed one's spirit.

Even someone like Lin Hai found it difficult to harbor ill intent.

"Xiaoya, is this your fiancé, Lin Hai?" the woman spoke with a clear and pleasant voice.

Ouyang Xiaoya gave Beast Lin a stern look, pulled his sleeve discreetly, indicating for him to be a bit more perceptive.

As someone who had been around for long, Lin Hai instantly understood her intention, immediately putting on a signature smile, humbly saying, "Uh, hello, my name is Lin Hai."

The woman nodded slightly, seemingly amused as she carefully observed Lin Hai.

Her gaze was as if a mother-in-law was assessing a son-in-law.

Besides, this mother-in-law's gaze seemed increasingly satisfied, after a few looks, she nodded slightly at Lin Hai.

Ouyang Xiaoya sighed in relief, truth be told, with her mother gone early, she inwardly viewed this person more as half a mother.

As long as Lin Hai wasn't repelled, she was already very satisfied.

"Xiaoya, could you prepare some tea? I'd like to have a word with Lin Hai, is that alright?" the woman gently asked Ouyang Xiaoya.

"Alright, Chairman Ye."

Ouyang Xiaoya nodded, and as she passed by Lin Hai, she whispered urgently, "Damn Beast, you guessed right, this is Chairman Ye. Make sure you bring your A-game, don't mess up, got it?"

"CEO, rest assured, they call me Quick Wit Lin." Lin Hai blinked exaggeratedly.

Ouyang Xiaoya glared at Beast Lin, then went to prepare the tea utensils and left.

Now, at the small table on the lawn, only Lin Hai and this Chairman Ye were left.

"Hello, Chairman, my name is Lin Hai." Lin Hai rubbed his hands, wearing a bashful expression.

Ye Zhiqiu nodded slightly and smiled, "Lin Hai, I have a question I'd like to ask you."

"Oh? What question does Chairman Ye have? Little Lin promises to speak fully and honestly," Lin Hai said with a smile, though inside he was curious, intrigued by just who this Chairman Ye was, running a large company from behind the scenes, most terrifyingly of all, possibly at a Supreme Strong level.

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and then abruptly shifted the subject, "Before I ask you my question, is there anything you'd like to ask me?"

Lin Hai was a bit startled; he didn't expect Chairman Ye not to play by the rules.

"Uh, I'm just curious, I never thought Chairman Ye was actually the person in charge of the Youming Ya Group."

At this moment, Lin Hai was like an ordinary employee, humbling himself a bit, with a slightly tense expression, naturally, this was a performance by the King of Assassins to confuse her.

"Xiaoya's father and I are old friends. At the beginning, due to certain circumstances, I needed to stay abroad for a long time, so I entrusted the company to Xiaoya. Actually, I've always treated Xiaoya as my daughter," Ye Zhiqiu explained.

"Did Chairman Ye also conduct business abroad?" Lin Hai curiously pressed.

Ye Zhiqiu shook her head, "When I was abroad, it was for personal matters."

After a pause, Ye Zhiqiu seemed to think of something and said, "Lin Hai, since you and Xiaoya are already engaged, when you get married, consider Youming Ya Group as part of the dowry from her family."

"What?" Lin Hai's eyes nearly popped out.

Sh*t, don't mother-in-laws usually ask about houses, cars, and savings when they meet their sons-in-law?

How come with Chairman Ye, the generosity is this remarkable?

Damn, although Lin Hai doesn't care about money, this also suddenly made him feel overwhelmed with happiness.

"By the way, Lin Hai, I always had a question, could you help me with it?" Ye Zhiqiu asked.

"Sure, dear mother-in-law," Lin Hai quickly answered.

"Oh, I wanted to ask, Xiaoya has a stubborn personality and finds it hard to admit defeat, but Qin'er has a rather fiery temper too. Are you confident you'll help them get along harmoniously?"

Pfft—

The joy came too quickly and disappeared even quicker.

Lin Hai's eyes revealed disbelief.

How did she know of Battle Lord's existence, and how did she know about the relationship with him?

To know, Battle Lord's real name is Han Qin'er.
