Chapter 310: Rainy Night, Elevated Highway, Maybach

A light, drizzling rain began to fall from the sky, gradually growing heavier.

On a rainy night, on an elevated highway, a black Maybach sped along, crashing into the blurry curtain of rain as the V12 engine emitted the roar unique to an internal combustion engine.

"I'd rather keep all the pain in my heart... than forget your eyes..." the car owner hummed in the car, enjoying the pouring rain.

Suddenly, a streak of pink light, fast as lightning, instantly overtook the Maybach!

"What?!"

The Maybach owner was startled. He subconsciously assumed some supercar had passed him, so he stepped hard on the accelerator, determined to catch up.

But after catching up, the Maybach owner was dumbfounded.

Because the vehicle that had just passed him was actually a pink "ghost fire" scooter! And the kind with RGB flowing ambient lights, at that!

What broke his composure even more was that sitting on the back of the scooter was a girl with exquisite features! As someone with status and reputation in the capital, he immediately recognized that this girl was Xie Xiaoxiao, the only daughter of the Xie family head, Xie Hong!

Given Xie Xiaoxiao's status, he wouldn't even be qualified to see her up close on a normal day, yet here he was, seeing her sitting on a "ghost fire" scooter???

It was as hard to accept as seeing a celebrity like Zhang Ruonan sitting on a "ghost fire" scooter on the road one day.

"Do the daughters of big shots... have such unique hobbies?" the Maybach owner muttered to himself, feeling his worldview had been shaken.

After rushing off the elevated highway, Ye Lin made several turns and ducked directly into a dark alley. A clone that had been waiting there immediately rushed forward, took over the pink "ghost fire" from Ye Lin's main body, and sped away to help distract pursuers from Ye Lin and Xie Xiaoxiao.

"Is Ye Mushuang here?" Xie Xiaoxiao asked.

"No, we still have to change our mode of transport! Otherwise, the Xie family's people will catch up soon!" Ye Lin shook his head.

"Change transport?" Xie Xiaoxiao looked troubled. "It's useless. Father will definitely send people to blockade all exits."

"Don't worry, Xie Hong can't stop this mode of transport of mine!" Ye Lin said confidently.

Just as Xie Xiaoxiao was confused, a man as thin as a monkey appeared like a ghost.

"Little Boss! Get on quick!"

Guo Qin had something like a saddle strapped to his back; he had specifically crafted it during this time to make it more comfortable for Ye Lin to ride.

Of course, it was also for his own sake; otherwise, Ye Lin would always be mounting a sniper rifle on his shoulder.

"The transport you mentioned is him?" Xie Xiaoxiao's scalp went numb. She suddenly regretted following Ye Lin out tonight.

"Don't worry! Don't look at how thin he is, he's incredibly fast!"

Ye Lin climbed directly onto Guo Qin's back and waved at Xie Xiaoxiao.

"Hurry up and get on, let's go!"

Xie Xiaoxiao: "......"

There was no turning back now. Xie Xiaoxiao, as if possessed, got on the "vehicle"—oh no, got on the person.

Just like that, Xie Xiaoxiao rode Ye Lin, Ye Lin rode Guo Qin, and Guo Qin kicked off the ground with force, instantly vanishing from the spot!

With the swirling wind hitting her body, Xie Xiaoxiao understood that Ye Lin hadn't lied; Guo Qin's speed was indeed shockingly fast.

It was just that if she had a choice, Xie Xiaoxiao still wouldn't want to choose this mode of transport next time; it was truly a bit... unseemly.

While Guo Qin was traveling, Ye Lin began to explain things to Xie Xiaoxiao.

"I'm not taking you to elope today, but to ruin your arranged marriage with the Zhuge family, so just listen to everything I say from now on!"

"Did he ask you to do this?" Xie Xiaoxiao pressed.

"Yes! He said you were the first person to ever feel heartache for him, and he couldn't accept you marrying someone else." Ye Lin nodded.

"Then why didn't he come himself!" There was a hint of grievance in Xie Xiaoxiao's voice.

"You'll see him in a moment!" Ye Lin's words acted like a sedative for Xie Xiaoxiao.

"We're here, Little Boss! Don't worry, I've scouted this hotel. Water beds, electric round beds, large bathtubs, floor-to-ceiling windows, classrooms, prisons, gyms, space capsules, octopus chairs, steam rooms—it has everything! Most importantly, no cameras!"

Guo Qin delivered the two of them directly to the lobby of a magnificent-looking hotel. This hotel could be said to be built specifically for couples; besides couples, the only people coming and going were men with beer bellies and young girls.

"Good work." Ye Lin pulled Xie Xiaoxiao to the front desk and checked in at lightning speed.

What he wanted was for both the Xie family and the Zhuge family to be able to find out that Xie Xiaoxiao and he had stayed at this hotel!

After entering the hotel room, Ye Lin finally let out a sigh of relief.

At this point, his plan was half complete.

It was fortunate that Xie Hong had put Chen Long in charge of keeping him away from Xie Xiaoxiao; otherwise, with Chen Long watching, it wouldn't have been so easy to leave the Xie family.

"You said I would see him, where is he?" Xie Xiaoxiao stared at Ye Lin and asked.

Ye Lin was silent for a moment, then picked up the Illusion Mask and put it on his face. Ye Mushuang's face instantly appeared before Xie Xiaoxiao's eyes.

Xie Xiaoxiao's eyes turned red.

"So... why did you lie to me in the Dragon Pool Secret Realm?"

"Sorry... at the time, I had no choice but to protect myself."

Ye Lin couldn't actually say what he felt for Xie Xiaoxiao. At first, approaching her in Qingcheng was just to find out who the mastermind hiding behind the scenes in Qingcheng was, stirring up trouble.

It could be said that Ye Lin approached Xie Xiaoxiao with an agenda from the start; he had been lying to her from beginning to end.

Ye Lin had thought he had no feelings for Xie Xiaoxiao at all, but until he heard the news from Chen Long that Xie Xiaoxiao was to be sent off for an arranged marriage, Ye Lin made a decision that went against his ancestors.

That was to pay a direct visit to the Xie family!

It is simple to know if you truly like someone: just imagine her marrying another man, having children, and spending the rest of her life with him, and see if you feel miserable or not.

"I only want to know one thing." Xie Xiaoxiao gathered her courage and looked at Ye Lin. "Is there really a place for me in your heart?"

Ye Lin tilted his head and thought for a moment.

"You can interpret it as a liar who deceived a fool, and then the fool was so foolish that the liar developed a sense of possessiveness and didn't want the fool to marry anyone else."

Xie Xiaoxiao threw herself into Ye Lin's arms and hugged him tightly.

"That's enough."

"But what if everything you knew about me before was fake? What if I'm actually not a good person, but a guy who is rotten to the core and does all kinds of evil?" Ye Lin asked.

"Then I will help the needy and do good deeds every day. For every evil you do, I will accumulate that much virtue for you."

"No regrets?"

"No regrets."

"I don't believe you. Say 'Daxia people don't lie to Daxia people'."
