Chapter 197

Lin Meng slept until broad daylight, thinking that after Ye Chenjing had taken the pill, she should have already discovered its effect, estimating that in his heart he had thanked her many times.

However, considering she had received the money, still permitted by the rules—a full twenty million—Lin Meng felt she should also thank Ye Chenjing, for letting her so easily earn another sum.

Her current accumulation of wealth also cannot be separated from Ye Chenjing's help.

Although his illness was somewhat hard to bring up, she still unhesitatingly asked Ye Fan for it, which could be considered as making up for it.

One morning, Ye Chenjing didn't come to look for Lin Meng again, not even sending her a message.

Regarding this, Lin Meng also thought it was nothing; maybe this guy is just shy.

Lin Meng didn't know that Ye Chenjing had gone out for a run early that morning.

Although the medicine's effect had worn off, Ye Chenjing still felt full of energy, especially being at the age of vigorous blood and qi, it was inevitable to feel somewhat overwhelmed.

But he has a cleanliness obsession, accustomed to self-purity; human physiological urges can be restrained for him, so he early went out for a run to burn off excess energy, only then daring to change into a suit and calmly go to the company.

In the afternoon, Lin Meng was napping in the sun when she suddenly received a call from Fifth Lord Qin.

On the phone, Qin Feng still had a wanton, unrestrained tone.

"Lin Meng, I've been working on setting up a martial arts school recently, and there's some progress; that General Manager Ye is quite agreeable, promising to allocate a plot of land for development. Uncle, I'm asking you again: do you want to join in?"

Lin Meng flicked her ears, not optimistic about Qin Feng's martial arts school.

Because she knows that she herself will also be opening a school in the near future, and at that time both schools will be related to martial arts; she truly fears that Qin Feng's school might go bankrupt, which she couldn't bear.

"You're asking me to join in, what position are you planning to give me? Vice principal?"

Qin Feng, without saying another word, "That's natural; I'll be the principal, you'll be the vice principal, just a nominal position, sitting and counting money."

Qin Feng indeed wanted to bring Lin Meng along to make money.

Although he knows Lin Meng has ways to make money, the little girl has hidden several tricks, even he can't see through them.

But who in the world would complain about having too much money? Rather than letting others get the bargain, it's better to give this money-making opportunity to Lin Meng.

This little girl still suits his taste quite well, and they can get along.

Lin Meng naturally could tell Qin Feng meant well, so she also sincerely responded with advice.

"Uncle, let's behave; don't start a martial arts school, change to something else, or wait for me a while longer—I have an idea, but it's not time yet."

"What idea?" Qin Feng asked curiously.

Lin Meng naturally wouldn't reveal even a word beforehand; she kept it secret, saying:

"Heavenly secrets must not be leaked; I can't tell you now, but when the time comes you'll know. Believe it or not, it's up to you. If you think making money is easy, you'll definitely lose everything—even your underwear—on a project that's sure to lose, and you'd still jump right in; we won't stop you, do as you please. Anyway, I've said this much; uncle, you decide for yourself."

Upon hearing that, Qin Feng became even more curious about what medicine Lin Meng was selling in her gourd.

He knows Lin Meng is not someone who boasts, nor would she deliberately mystify to deceive him.

For a moment, Qin Feng really began to hesitate.

"By the way, let's put this matter aside for now; I have another piece of news I think you'll be interested in."

Lin Meng raised her eyebrows, signaling Qin Feng to continue.

Qin Feng gave a hehe laugh and said:

"I somewhat understand your family's situation; those several extreme relatives of yours are no good. I recently happened to learn that your cousin, named Lin Haocheng, is gambling heavily in the neighboring city, lost thirty million, can't come up with the money, and is being detained."

Upon hearing that, Lin Meng immediately sat up straight and said, "Tell me in detail!"

"……"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Meng couldn't sit still.

She immediately drove to the bureau, paid bail for her uncle's family, then headed straight to the neighboring city.

Lin Jianyang and the three others still didn't know what had happened; they only knew they had finally been released, and were still blaming each other.

Finally, Wang Fang thought for a moment and said:

"It must be that our son knows our recent situation, worries about us but can't come back right away, so he asked his friends to help."

Lin Jianyang also thought so, his face full of relief and pride.

"Still, the son is good; although he spends a lot, the returns are also large."

While saying that, he didn't forget to glance at Lin Qianqian.

These few days detained in the bureau, Lin Qianqian's nature was fully exposed, venting all her dissatisfaction with her parents.

Blaming them for having no brains, not working hard when young, causing her to be born in the countryside and carry a rural label her whole life.

Moreover, she said they favor males over females; superficially they supported her coming to Jing Shi for gilding, but actually the funds they gave were far less than those for Lin Haocheng; even the youngest Lin Haoxuan has an education fund, while she originally thought her dowry was decent, but it's nowhere near theirs.

Lin Jianyang suddenly realized, while in the cell, that this daughter might very well become a white-eyed wolf.

If she truly were to climb to high branches in Jing Shi, she might not support the two brothers; more likely she would kick these rural parents aside.

Just then, Lin Jianyang's phone suddenly popped up an unfamiliar text message.

The content was very simple: just an address, plus a sentence.

"Want to see your son, come quickly!"

The three didn't dare delay; not long after Lin Meng set out, they also followed and set out together.

Three hours later, in front of a standalone clubhouse, Lin Meng looked up and thought this must be the place.

Fifth Lord Qin's little piece of news was extremely accurate; he said Lin Haocheng was here, so he certainly is.

According to him, there is a KTV here with extensive business; many young masters and societal riffraff like to patronize it.

Most of Lin Haocheng's vanished startup capital, which had been lost, was sunk into this place.

The gambling debt has become a huge hole that can't be filled.

In Jing Shi's elite circle of rich second generations, he acted like a clown and a sycophant; the result was those people only used him for amusement, never thinking of investing.

Taking advantage of avoiding his parents, Lin Haocheng simply came here again; once he entered, he couldn't get out.

Lin Meng entered the clubhouse, found the KTV; inside was smoky and hazy, at a glance very irregular, not even up to the standard of those respectable KTVs.

She tried to minimize her presence, wearing a mask, then mobilized her spiritual power to begin searching.

At least it's the sixth layer of Qi Refining, but finding a person is still quite easy.

Soon, Lin Meng saw Lin Haocheng in one of the private rooms.

Through the small crack in the door, she couldn't see clearly, but she could hear distinctly.

"Your turn, Young Master Lin. You said we had a problem with the shuffle, but this round you shuffled the cards yourself, and you were the one dealing—how can you blame us if you lose again?"

"Hahaha!"

Lin Haocheng was drenched in sweat, trembling as he flipped over two cards; instantly his vision went black and he collapsed limp on the floor.

It's over; the more he lost, the more he lost, and now he could never turn things around.

Lin Meng glanced at Lin Haocheng's miserable state, silently walked out, and waited quietly in the car.

When Lin Jianyang and his family of three appeared at the club's entrance, she decisively took out her phone to call the police.

"Hello, Officer Uncle, I want to report!"
