Meanwhile.
He Yidu had just boarded the private plane heading to the capital from Ming City when he received a WeChat message from Lu Qi. As he walked into the cabinet, he held his phone up and clicked on the WeChat app, only to realize that Lu Qi had sent him a freaking long message.
He stopped in his tracks when a line on the screen seemed to indefinitely magnify in his head. [It’s because I’m a bit fond of him that I have to block him.]
A few seconds later, he burst into angry laughter and gnashed his teeth slightly. “You sure are something, Lin Shuang.”
…
It was 10.20 PM, and Lin Shuang was already seated in her seat in the first-class cabin. She took out her phone and clicked into the QQ group chat that the senior management of Shadow League and Red Flame had created.
Things were very lively inside the group chat as everyone happily discussed the future child of Red Flame’s boss and Arctic Fox.
[Black Eagle: The crown prince belongs to Shadow League in the future!]
[Missing Gateway: On what basis, you loser!?! We can teach better at Red Flame!]
[Black Eagle: Nonsense! I’ve screenshot your message. I’m going to send it to Arctic Fox.]
[Missing Gateway deleted a message.]
[Missing Gateway: (kneels) Buddy, let’s not disturb the big boss with our personal feuds.]
[Black Eagle: So who’s better and more capable?]
[Missing Gateway: You! You’re better, and you’re the most capable!]
[Yun Ling: (laughs) You guys talking dirty? I’ve reported you.]
[Xing Zhi: How about this? The child will spend six months in Red Flame, five months in Shadow League, and take one month of break.]
[Black Eagle: Have some shame! Why isn’t six months in Shadow League and five months in Red Flame?!]
[Shadow League’s ally: Exactly! Our boss will be the one giving birth to the child! The money belongs to our boss, and even your boss belongs to our boss!]
One sentence after another, the people from Shadow knocked the people from Red Flame off their pedestal.
It was really lively inside the group chat with messages flooding the screen. If both groups of people were to meet each other, they would surely get into a fight.
Lin Shuang smiled and sipped on her red wine as she happily read the messages.
Just then, the message [Party Pooper muted everyone.] popped up on the screen.
Party Pooper was the nickname Lin Shuang gave to He Yidu on her phone.
[Lin Shuang: …]
He sure is a party pooper. The corner of Lin Shuang’s lips twitched, and she let out a sigh. Sigh, there goes my fun.
She was just about to exit the group chat when another message appeared.
[Party Pooper: @Everyone For the sake of the everlasting friendship between Red Flame and Shadow League, I’m willing to marry Lin Shuang.]
[Lin Shuang: ???] What the f*ck?!
Things began to get chaotic inside the group chat.
As there were plenty of genius hackers inside the group chat, they easily unmuted everyone even without He Yidu doing anything.
[Xing Zhi: ?]
[Missing Gateway: What’s going on? Did I miss something?]
[Black Eagle: What the hell? What’s this, @Nine Tails?]
[Yun Ling: Only accepts those who are willing to take on her surname.]
[Spare Me: How can men do that?!]
[Yun Ling: Take it or leave it.]
[Spare Me: …]
[Party Pooper: I’ll take @Nine Tails.]
[Lin Shuang: …]
Lin Shuang stared at her phone with a complicated expression as she wondered what the hell He Yidu was up to.
Just then, she received a message from Yun Ling.
[You got together with He Yidu?]
Lin Shuang frowned. [No, I even blocked him. I belong to Shadow League, dead or alive!]
[That’s my good buddy!] Yun Ling sent another text. [Where are you, by the way?]
[On the plane to Country D.]
[Alright, I’ll leave it to you to see how you want to settle things with He Yidu. I’m going to Country D to strike a deal. See you there.]
[Okay.]
Lin Shuang then returned to the group chat, but He Yidu had gone offline after leaving the “I’ll take @Nine Tails.” message.
He Yidu had always been a gentleman who took things slow and had never done anything aggressive before. Thus, she couldn’t help but be taken aback by his actions. Instincts told her that something wasn’t quite right about this.
“The aircraft is about to take off soon. Please fasten your seat belts…” An announcement was made just then.
Lin Shuang looked up and raised her eyebrows when she realized that it was 10.35 PM now. Forget it, he can do whatever he wants. I’m already leaving anyway. He probably had a brain fart just now.
She then put her phone away and asked the flight attendant for a blanket as she prepared to go to sleep.
The flight attendant walked to the cabin door and was just about to close it when a big, defined hand suddenly pressed on the door with great force. Startled, the attendant looked up and saw a tall figure entering the cabin in front of her before she even got a clear look at him.
The man gave off an intimidating aura as if he were a walking weapon.
“Mister?” The flight attendant frowned. Haven’t all passengers already boarded the plane?
Lin Shuang thanked the flight attendant as she received the blanket and shook it open to cover herself with it. However, as she was doing that, she saw a familiar figure walk toward her.
“What the f*ck?! He Yidu?” Lin Shuang was so shocked that she froze in her seat as she clutched the blanket and stared wide-eyed at the broody He Yidu looked as if he wanted to eat her alive, a smirk quietly forming on his face.
Lin Shuang gasped and involuntarily shrunk back against her seat. He knows! He definitely knows about it! Lu Qi, you’re dead meat!
A few flight attendants quickly walked over and looked at Lin Shuang before turning to look at He Yidu. “Mister?”
They knew that he definitely must have some sort of background for him to be able to barge onto the plane without even needing to have his ticket checked. Thus, they were cautious in what they said.
At that moment, another group of people came running onto the plane. They were leaders of the Capital International Airport. They were usually calm and collected but were sweating profusely now.
“Young Master He, may I know who you’re looking for?” The man standing in front asked respectfully as he wiped away the beads of sweat on his forehead.
Lin Shuang stared speechlessly at the crowd in the first-class cabin. D*mn! Does he need to put on such a big show?
With a serious face, He Yidu stormed toward Lin Shuang, pulled her out from her seat, and then proceeded to drag her outside.
“My bag and my shoes!” Lin Shuang was clutching the thin blanket with one hand and wearing the plane’s disposable slippers.
He Yidu walked up to the flight attendants and politely apologized to them. “I’m sorry, but she’s not leaving. The plane can take off as usual.”
“Okay…” replied the flight attendants with confused faces.
Thereafter, He Yidu forcefully dragged Lin Shuang out of the cabin as she cursed and swore at him. Behind them, the senior management hurriedly picked up Lin Shuang’s belongings and chased after them, leaving behind the crew and passengers in the first-class cabin with utter confusion.
All of a sudden, a woman asked, “Uh… Which chairman’s wife is running away?”
Another woman’s eyes were shining as she said, “D*mn! That was so cool! She won’t be able to run away though! He even chased her all the way to the plane!”
…
Inside the car.
Lin Shuang grabbed onto the passenger seat’s handle with both hands as her body swayed and pressed against the car door. She looked at the speedometer, which showed 160km/hr. Her gaze shifted to He Yidu’s icy side-profile as she squeezed her fingers and gulped. “Uh… Calm down. I don’t want to die. I haven’t finished spending my money…”
He Yidu ignored her. He didn’t slow down either.
Lin Shuang’s body was tense and her heart was racing as she stared at the road speeding past them. D*mn it! My heart has never beat so fast before…
…
The car pulled to a stop at Villa No. 8 of Xishan Villa.
He Yidu got off and went to the other side to open the passenger door to pull Lin Shuang out. He then wordlessly dragged her to the entrance of the villa, where he unlocked the door with his fingerprint, opened it, and threw her inside.
“F*ck you, He Yidu!” Lin Shuang straightened herself and looked up to see He Yidu placing her things on the cabinet at the front porch.
The man removed his glasses. His double eyelids were deep, the corners of his eyes were lifted, and his light-colored pupils were alluring.
Male seductress. Those were the words that appeared Lin Shuang’s mind when she saw him smirking.
The next second, the male seductress moved, taking one step closer to her as he stared straight at her with hooded eyes.
Instincts told Lin Shuang that she was in danger.. Her throat tightened as she backed up. “H-He Yidu, what do you want?”
