Chapter 350: No way, from now on the king skips morning court

When Lin Dongfan classified Wang Hu's behavior as "malicious retaliation," it meant today's matter must be handled seriously!

This made Section Chief Wang feel a chill down to his core.

Suddenly came the feeling of sitting at home while disaster strikes from above—utterly miserable.

Given the current situation, Section Chief Wang could figure out with his toes that Wang Hu, that idiot, must have clashed with Lin Dongfan before the room inspection, and it was a fierce clash.

Otherwise Lin Dongfan wouldn't have said it was malicious retaliation.

Now Section Chief Wang isn't worried about anything else, just about being innocently implicated, so he quickly declared: "Section Chief Lin, rest assured, I will handle this matter strictly and swiftly!"

"Be specific—how exactly will you handle it?" Lin Dongfan stared at Section Chief Wang, his eyes unwavering, exuding authority without anger.

Section Chief Wang forced himself to reply: "First… suspend him for inspection?"

Saying this, Section Chief Wang lifted his head anxiously, glancing at Lin Dongfan's reaction.

Seeing Lin Dongfan seemed somewhat dissatisfied.

Section Chief Wang instantly realized this couldn't be brushed off, and, frightened, he promptly corrected his attitude: "We'll investigate backward from the day Wang Hu joined, leaving no stone unturned! If Wang Hu indeed committed any illegal or disciplinary violations, we will show no leniency!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Hu, who was lying on the ground feigning death, spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

His whole face turned ashen like dead ashes.

Only now did Wang Hu belatedly realize he had been extremely impulsive today, earlier only thinking of crushing his opponent, severely underestimating the other's background.

Even during the room inspection, if he had simply checked the opponent's ID as required, he wouldn't have kicked an iron plate.

Now being held accountable is minor, yet they demand an investigation from his hiring date onward, leaving no stone unturned!

Is there any way out?

Wang Hu didn't even wipe the blood from his mouth, crawling frantically to Lin Dongfan's front, clutching his feet like a dog and pleading desperately: "Section Chief Lin, today I was blind; please spare me..."

"Let go!"

Lin Dongfan kicked Wang Hu away.

Lin Dongfan also has compassion, but he would never waste his precious sympathy on a bully who preys on the weak and fears the strong.

Lin Dongfan solemnly warned Section Chief Wang: "I want to see the results within three days!"

"Thank you, Section Chief Lin, for your understanding and support. This won't take three days; I'll give you a satisfactory result within 24 hours." Knowing the caliber of his subordinates, Section Chief Wang understood that if he truly wanted to pursue Wang Hu's responsibility, it would be a mere snap of the fingers.

Seeing Lin Dongfan nod in satisfaction,

Section Chief Wang hastily bowed and said: "Section Chief Lin, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now; please rest well."

Having said that, he ordered the police behind him to take Wang Hu away.

As Wang Hu was being led out, his legs went weak, he could barely stand, his eyes brimming with tears, reflecting despair.

If Xu Yue, the volunteer teacher from Wushi Village, saw this scene.

He would surely feel relieved.

After the police left, the lobby female manager approached Lin Dongfan: "Mr. Lin, I'm truly sorry for today's trouble and the inconvenience to you and your wife. To express our apologies, the hotel decides to waive today's room charge, hoping you and your wife will understand."

"The Wang fellow came after me; you couldn't have stopped him even if you tried, so this isn't your fault." Lin Dongfan turned to right the overturned small round table.

The lobby female manager hurried forward to help: "Let me clean up."

"Just pay for the room; as for the broken items, don't ask us to compensate." Lin Dongfan said with a smile.

The lobby female manager chuckled embarrassedly: "Mr. Lin, you're too kind; you don't need to pay for the items, the room fee is still waived. If you need anything, just call me; I won't disturb you and your wife's rest. Good night."

"Mm."

After seeing the lobby female manager out, Lin Dongfan locked the door from inside.

Turning around, he saw Chu Lingxi sitting on the bed wrapped in a blanket, wearing an innocent smile: "Husband, today's harvest seems not bad—we got rid of a corrupt element and earned 3,888 in room fees."

"Just now you almost had a wardrobe malfunction."

"No way, I've been wrapped tightly, not even showing my neck—just my face."

While laughing, Chu Lingxi tightened the blanket a bit more, trying to prove she knows how to protect herself, but Lin Dongfan didn't give her the chance.

"Fairy maiden, I'm coming."

Lin Dongfan threw off his white bathrobe, lunged like a hungry tiger, and at once flung Chu Lingxi onto the bed, his salty-pawed hands attacking up and down, tickling wherever she felt it.

In an instant, the whole room echoed with Chu Lingxi's bell-like laughter.

When the laughter faded, only a soul-deep chant remained, the path winding deep into seclusion, the Zen chamber surrounded by flowers and trees.

Ancient poets always lamented that spring nights are all too brief.

Actually, what's short isn't the spring night.

What exactly is short, they themselves know.

Lin Dongfan has no such worries; no matter what position Chu Lingxi wants to unlock, he can handle it with ease. His only concern is the second child; the box of small umbrellas he bought earlier is left in the car.

He doesn't know whether the second child will hurry to be reborn.

During halftime.

Chu Lingxi, her face flushed, pressed her head tightly against Lin Dongfan's chest: "Husband, your heartbeat is so fast. Twice already—are you tired?"

"Still okay."

Now recalling his earlier bragging—seven times!

Lin Dongfan couldn't help but feel a bit regretful.

Wanting to be both willing and able is no easy feat; tonight, it's highly likely he'll be drained dry, no suspense.

Chu Lingxi suddenly turned over and pressed herself onto Lin Dongfan.

Giggling, she playfully pinched Lin Dongfan's nose: "I'm not forcing you, okay? If you can't get out of bed tomorrow morning, don't blame me."

"I finally understand the true meaning of a line of poetry now."

"Which poem?"

"Spring nights are short, the sun rises high; from now on, the king does not attend early court."

I know this, it's from the 'Song of Everlasting Regret', the author is Bai Juyi.

Wrong.

Could I have been wrong? The author is Li Bai?

Chu Lingxi instantly looked bewildered, her mind scrambling to search her memory fragments.

Lin Dongfan shook his head thoughtfully: 'None of those are right; the author is Zuiyin Xiansheng.'

Zuiyin Xiansheng? Never heard of him.

Chu Lingxi still looked clueless, obviously forgetting that Comrade Bai Juyi had two sobriquets: one was Xiangshan Jushi, the other was Zuiyin Xiansheng.

Faced with her dazed, foolish look.

Lin Dongfan couldn't help but laugh and said: 'Not having heard of it is correct; this line means that even a mighty emperor's body, as impressive as it is, can have times when it can't get up, so…'

'So what?' Chu Lingxi asked curiously.

Lin Dongfan replied confidently: 'So, for an ordinary mortal like me, if I can't get up tomorrow morning, that's perfectly normal.'

'I get it, you really can't do it, haha.'

'Who says I can't?'

'It works, it doesn't.' Chu Lingxi dismounted, then sideways embraced Lin Dongfan: 'Anyway, I can't, I'm sleepy, going to sleep.'

'Alright, go to sleep.'

At this moment, Lin Dongfan truly felt the happiness of 'having a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?' He could sense it; Shabaitian actually wasn't sleepy at all.

The next day.

Lin Dongfan woke up to find it was already past nine in the morning.

It was Yang Qing's phone call that blasted him awake; Yang Qing roared over the phone: 'You damn fool, enjoying your wife and kids' warm bed, just looking out for your own comfort—did you forget what you said yesterday?'

'What did I say yesterday?' Lin Dongfan rubbed his sleepy eyes.

Soon over the phone came Yang Qing's complaint: 'Go to hell, you said today you'd take me to learn some advanced experience from Tang Xia's matchmaking—hurry up and get up!'
