Chapter 392: What an Idiot
Every word from Lin Chuxing was utterly cold, devoid of any human warmth.
"As for you two, I still need a pair of parents for now. When I don't need you anymore, you can go die!"
"Don't even think about messing things up for me. I'm telling you, if I successfully marry Xiao Ye and live a good life, I might consider letting you off the hook. I might even support you in your old age."
"But if you dare to ruin my future, I'll immediately have someone kill you. I mean what I say!"
That slap from Jian Qiuyan before, and now Lin Feng's words, filled Lin Chuxing with extreme resentment.
Lin Feng suddenly realized he had been truly wrong.
He and Jian Qiuyan had always thought they owed Lin Chuxing, so they had indulged her in everything.
But now it seemed she was not only ungrateful, but the moment something didn't go her way, her feelings would immediately turn to resentment.
'Since it's come to this, I can't hope for any father-daughter affection anymore.'
Lin Feng's shoulders slumped. "Forget it, just forget it..."
He shouldn't be thinking about this now. He needed to get to the hospital first and check on Lin Aoshan's condition.
Just then, Xiao Ye returned.
Lin Chuxing immediately went up to greet him. "You're back!"
Xiao Ye completely ignored her, looking directly at Lin Feng. "The old master received timely medical attention. He's out of danger now."
"But his health is poor, and he needs to stay in the hospital. I took the liberty of transferring him to the sanatorium in the military district. It's better for him."
"It's fully equipped, so if anything happens, they can provide immediate care. Plus, the caregivers there are all professionals."
Lin Feng nodded repeatedly. "Thank you, thank you so much. How much will it cost?"
"There's no need to worry about the money. I'll have someone take you to see him later."
"By the way, there's one more thing. Lin Chuyue's ashes have been interred in the Xiao Family's ancestral tomb. She will be reincarnated into a good family."
The moment she heard Lin Chuyue's ashes were in the Xiao Family's ancestral tomb, Lin Chuxing became very dissatisfied. "She wasn't a member of the Xiao Family! What right does she have to be buried there?"
Xiao Ye looked at her. "You are not a member of the Xiao Family. You have no right to question it!"
Lin Chuxing instantly fell silent.
Because of what happened with Lin Chuyue, the atmosphere in the Xiao Family residence had become more somber than before.
Lin Feng and Jian Qiuyan didn't want to stay there. They arranged with Xiao Ye to go directly to the military sanatorium to take care of Lin Aoshan.
They were, it seemed, completely disappointed in Lin Chuxing.
'But that's for the best,' Xiao Ye thought. 'It's better for them to be far away from Lin Chuxing.'
Two days passed in a flash.
Xiao Ye finally received a message from the Angel Association. This time, they were sending a newcomer to be the liaison.
He hadn't yet been able to find out who it was.
The person was scheduled to arrive at the airport tonight.
When the time was right, Xiao Ye had a car take him to the airport.
Not long after he arrived, a group of people walked over.
Leading them was a middle-aged man in his forties with his arm around a blonde, blue-eyed woman. Behind him were only bodyguards.
When he saw Xiao Ye, he sneered. "Is this how you people receive guests?"
"Don't you know I was sent by the higher-ups? You should have come inside, and the car should have been pulled up to the door. You actually made me walk this far!"
Xiao Ye's expression was blank. "Are you coming or not?"
The man immediately became furious. "How dare you speak to me like that!"
This was how he usually treated others, so he wanted to do the same to Xiao Ye, establishing his dominance right from the start.
But Xiao Ye wasn't falling for his act. "I am speaking to you normally. I'll ask you one more time: are you coming or not?"
"Fuck, do you have any idea what my status is in Country A?"
Xiao Ye's assistant leaned in. "Patriarch, he's a very famous rapper from Country A."
'Just a singer. To put it bluntly, an entertainer. And he dares to claim he has high status in Country A? What a joke!'
Xiao Ye asked for the third time, "Are you coming or not?"
"Fuck, do you understand human speech or not? You dare to disrespect me? Believe it or not, I'll report this to the higher-ups right now!"
"You'll be sorry then! Not just you, your family will be sorry too!"
Hearing him dare to bring up his family, Xiao Ye smiled.
He raised his hand and slapped the man hard across the face. "I told you to go, but you wouldn't. So much damn nonsense!"
"Why would the Angel Association send an idiot like you! Daring to threaten me... you should first see if you're even qualified!"
"Go back and tell your master that if they send another one like you, they can just get lost!"
"I'd rather die than work for the Angel Association!"
After saying his piece, Xiao Ye got directly into his car and sped off.
The man was so angry he almost fainted. He had never been so humiliated in his life, getting slapped at a bustling airport entrance where people were coming and going!
If he wasn't mistaken, it was likely someone here might have recognized him.
Then, the news of him being slapped in the Dragon Country would spread all over the world!
Meanwhile, the Angel Association quickly received the news.
"Idiot! What an idiot! I told him before not to provoke Xiao Ye, but he went and did something like this!"
"Now he's really pissed off Xiao Ye. Based on what we know about him, there's no way Xiao Ye will cooperate with that guy anymore."
"Forget it. Let's send someone else. This time, we must give them clear instructions. We absolutely cannot let something like this happen again!"
A few more days passed.
Finally, the Angel Association sent someone for the second time.
But unlike before, this person didn't need Xiao Ye to pick them up from the airport. They didn't even provide an arrival time.
'Does the Angel Association have other tasks?'
Xiao Ye did some investigating and confirmed that the person, a woman, had already arrived two days ago. She had been staying in a luxury hotel and hadn't gone out.
Since she wasn't making a move, Xiao Ye decided not to bother with it either.
Twenty-nine days had passed since Linton's arrival in the Dragon Country.
The one-month mark was fast approaching.
General He came to find Xiao Ye. "I'm very sorry, we haven't developed the antidote yet. But don't worry, as long as you give us time, we'll definitely be able to do it!"
"You just keep stalling them for a while. Leave the matter of the antidote to us."
Xiao Ye had long expected this result. If the poison were that easy to counteract, how could it be the Angel Association's key tool for controlling people?
「The next day.」
Thirty days had passed since Xiao Ye was injected with the drug—exactly one month!
As soon as he got out of bed in the morning, Xiao Ye felt very unwell. His whole body was weak, accompanied by aching muscles.
It seemed the poison's effects were kicking in.
Xiao Ye took out a silver needle and medicine he had prepared long ago, and began to suppress the effects and relieve the pain.
He had been preparing for this day for the better part of a month.
Soon, the feeling in his body subsided, as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion.
