Chapter 819: Trying to compete with us? That's impossible

After Shanshan Chongyu led people in for half an hour, Frank and the others became somewhat anxious.

Someone wanted to go in and have a look.

What if something good was taken by the little Japanese?

But what if there was danger inside and Shanshan Chongyu's group all got killed?

They were both anxious and worried.

Just then, Lin Jingru walked out of the cave, waving and saying: 'Everyone come in quickly! There are lots of treasures inside!

There are lots of giants! And lots of gold, giants made of gold...

Before Lin Jingru finished speaking, she saw Frank and the others rushing over.

She hurriedly turned and ran back into the cave.

Lin Jingru's appearance undoubtedly gave Frank and the others a shot of adrenaline.

Because Lin Jingru appeared, it meant there was actually no danger inside.

Since even a child was safe, the adults like Shanshan Chongyu who had undergone enhancement were certainly safe as well.

But Frank and the others still had a doubt.

That was why they let a child come out to inform them.

After thinking, they felt Shanshan Chongyu must have found something good,

They were unwilling to send their subordinates out, so they sent out a useless little girl instead.

"Come on, come on! Over here!"

Lin Jingru stood at the fork in the path, waving at everyone.

"Wait!"

Someone shouted loudly.

However, Lin Jingru acted as if she hadn't heard, turned and ran into the cave.

They arrived again at the place where the mechanism had been triggered before.

Lin Jingru finally stopped.

The gloomy cave, the chilly air, there stood a little girl made deathly pale by the flashlight's beam.

Such a sight, no matter how you look at it, gives an extremely eerie feeling.

Frank, who was running ahead, suddenly stopped, looking at Lin Jingru with a wary expression.

His sixth sense told him that this little girl was problematic!

"Kid, why did you stop? Is Shanshan Chongyu inside? Why haven't we heard their voices?"

A young man frowned and asked.

Lin Jingru turned around and made a funny face at Frank and the others.

Then she turned and ran, disappearing like a nimble elf with a single bound.

"Bang~"

A gunshot rang out.

It was Frank who fired the gun.

He had already taken precautions against Lin Jingru; as soon as she moved, he fired.

Unfortunately, the bullet only hit the afterimage left by Lin Jingru's swift movement in his vision.

"What incredible speed, like a ghost!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

Frank said, "What ghost? This is just a kid who's been enhanced."

Having said that, Frank turned to look at Shantian Liangzi and said, "This is no ordinary kid—how did you not notice?"

Seeing Frank's angry face, Shantian Liangzi was about to explain when she saw a row of gun barrels suddenly descend from the top of the cave ahead.

"Get down!"

Someone reacted quickly and shouted loudly.

He told everyone to get down, but then he himself turned and ran.

"Hiss~zzz……"

A laser-like weapon fired again.

This time the firepower was even denser than before.

Perhaps because there were many people, the mechanism detected them and increased the firepower in a straight stretch of the cave.

Apart from a few who escaped, the rest were either dead or injured.

Frank was injured, a large chunk blown out of his right shoulder by the laser weapon.

One could even see his lung lobes.

However, for an Enhancer, this is not a fatal injury.

Shantian Liangzi was also lucky; when someone shouted to get down, she immediately lay on the ground.

A laser beam grazed past her scalp.

This was an all‑direction attack.

In the process of dodging, a laser beam passed through the person in front of Shantian Liangzi and struck her chest.

Fortunately, she had enough flesh, so her heart was unharmed.

But the intense burning sensation almost made her faint from pain.

Those who didn't die also lost their fighting ability.

Shantian Liangzi gritted her teeth and slowly crawled back along the way she had come.

Frank and the others ahead were also rolling on the ground.

However, at that moment, Shantian Liangzi saw a tiny figure appear before her.

Then she was lifted up, wind whistling in her ears, obviously she was being moved quickly.

Lin Jingru brought Shantian Liangzi to a safe place.

As for those people outside, like Frank and the others, they hadn't had time to crawl out of the cave before being snatched by the claw hook and dragged into the underground hole.

When Shantian Liangzi turned her head back, she just happened to see that scene.

"Who exactly are you?"

After being set down, Shantian Liangzi looked at Lin Jingru with a shocked expression.

It was obvious that Lin Jingru was not an ordinary little girl.

Lin Jingru clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Let me reintroduce myself—I'm Lin Jingru, not Mu Xiao Jing!"

"Your surname is Lin?"

Shantian Liangzi grasped the most crucial information from Lin Jingru's words.

Lin Jingru crossed her arms, smiling without speaking.

At that moment, she suddenly felt like putting on airs.

Only then did Lin Jingru understand why Lin Shi Yi used to be so obedient, but later often led them to cause trouble.

It turned out Lin Shi Yi often could gain that feeling.

"You're a child of the Lin Family!?"

Shantian Liangzi asked again.

Lin Jingru said with a proud face, "The Lin Feng you want to deal with is my father!"

Having received the answer, Shantian Liangzi was no longer as shocked as before.

Because she had already guessed it.

Lin Feng masters the most advanced enhancement technology—how could he possibly not enhance his own children?

Shantian Liangzi fell silent, her heart filled with anxiety.

Lin Jingru said with a smile, "Your luck is good—you ran into me, and your attitude toward me was very friendly. Moreover, you fortunately survived, only sustaining a few injuries……"

Speaking, Lin Jingru glanced at Shantian Liangzi's wound, furrowed her brow, took a pill from her pocket, and stuffed it into Shantian Liangzi's mouth.

"What is this?"

Shantian Liangzi asked with a look of surprise.

Just now Lin Jingru's movement was too fast; she didn't even realize what she had unconsciously swallowed.

Lin Jingru said, "This is a wound-healing medicine of our Lin Family; after taking it, your wound won't leave a scar."

With your inferior enhancement technology, you enhancers are merely half-finished products; after severe injury, when the wound heals, cell division is imperfect.

This inevitably leaves scars, which for a girl are not attractive.

If Lin Donghu saw it, he would despise you.

"Who is Lin Donghu?"

Shantian Liangzi asked again.

She always manages to grasp the key point in Lin Jingru's words.

Lin Jingru said with a smile, "He's the 'friend' I mentioned to you earlier! Though I lied to you then—actually he's my brother! Our family has a brother, Lin Shi Yi, who already has a wife, but Lin Donghu does not yet."

"Your brother?"

Shantian Liangzi was astonished.

It turned out the boyfriend Lin Jingru had found for herself was actually a child!

This is utterly absurd!

Lin Jingru saw Shantian Liangzi's expression, curled the corner of her mouth, and said, "Now I ask you—do you agree to become Lin Donghu's wife?"

Shantian Liangzi was speechless for a moment.

Lin Jingru put her hands on her hips and said, "First, let me tell you the benefits you'll get after becoming Lin Donghu's wife."

First, you'll become a wealthy person—I'm telling you, Lin Donghu has saved a lot of private money; even his mother doesn't know he has that much.

Because this kid looks honest, but is actually quite sly.

He reported some false accounts, then deposited the money with me.

Why deposit it with me?

Because my mother is a big spender, and her way of educating me differs from that of ordinary children.

My mother believes children should learn financial management from a young age.

So, my mother never bothers with my New Year's money or anything like that.

Because she doesn't bother, Lin Donghu thus deposits his money with me; when he needs it, he just asks me for it.

In fact, not only Lin Donghu, but Lin Qiuxia, Lin Qingxia… they also have stored their New Year's money with me.

And what about me?

I naturally handed this sum over to Cai Wei Yiniang, letting her help me invest it!

Money left in a card is dead money; checking interest is too low, and even fixed-term deposits can't keep up with the speed of monetary inflation and depreciation.

The best way is to invest……

Lin Jingru said all that in one breath, finally finishing the first point.

The main idea is that Lin Donghu has deposited a large sum with her—not a small amount—and that money is continually appreciating.

"Second!"

Lin Jingru made a scissor hand gesture and said, "For you, there's something more important than money—that is to become a new-generation enhancer."

In our Lin Family, Enhancers are divided by generations; the closer one is to the Witch Tribe's genes, the more perfect the fusion, and the lower the generation.

Your half-finished Enhancers, in our Lin Family, can only be considered Enhancers beyond the fifth generation.

Even the Enhancement levels of my family's Da Hei and Er Hei are several levels higher than yours!

Furthermore, third, after becoming a daughter-in-law of our Lin Family, you won't have to be summoned and dismissed like a tool in others' hands, constantly at risk of death.

By then you can do what you like to do.

For example, you said you like drawing, and Miaomiao Niang also likes drawing, but they surely draw better than you, so you can normally learn from them.

How about it? Think it over!

Shantian Liangzi stared at Lin Jingru with a look of surprise.

Because the benefits Lin Jingru mentioned, especially the third point, allow one to live a peaceful and stable life—that is the life she hopes for.

Of course, if one also obtains the second benefit, that would be even better.

"What if I don't agree?"

Shantian Liangzi spoke.

Lin Jingru shook their head and said: "You people! You always like to ask that."

But since you asked that, I'll tell you!

If you don't agree, although I won't kill you out of past friendship, I won't look after you from now on.

This is a very dangerous place, very very dangerous.

If I don't take you out, you will definitely die here.

Alright, no more nonsense—make your choice now!

After Lin Jingru finished speaking, they turned around with hands behind their back, making themselves look like an expert.

"I'm not an idiot, of course I choose… to become Lin Donghu's daughter-in-law!"

After saying that, Shantian Liangzi suddenly felt that what was happening before their eyes was like a dream.

They also didn't know whether what comes next would be good or bad.

Although this little girl had promised her a lot, in the end Lin Feng's nod of approval was still required.

Actually, as for Lin Donghu, Shantian Liangzi thought it would be nice to become Lin Feng's woman.

But she also understood that, given her looks, Lin Feng would not be interested.

That Yun Zhennamei (Yun Luan) is thousands of times more beautiful than her!

"OK! We've decided on this!"

Lin Jingru nodded.

Lin Jingru sat down, took out a piece of candy from their pocket and handed it to Shantian Liangzi, saying, "Eat! It's to replenish energy."

Shantian Liangzi silently took it in their hand.

After a long while, she finally adjusted her opinion of Lin Jingru.

This little girl must not be treated as an ordinary child, but rather as a peer.

"Should we just stay here?"

After finishing the candy, Shantian Liangzi asked.

Lin Jingru looked helpless and said: "It's very dangerous in there! Unless you're a genuine Witch Tribe member, you can't get in."

If we go out, we'll run into those people; there are so many of them that I, a mere child, can't beat them.

So the best plan is to stay here and not run around; when the time is right, we will be rescued.

People like this are afraid of being overly clever, wanting to obtain things beyond their abilities.

Besides, curiosity kills the cat!

After saying that, Lin Jingru chuckled and said, "Anyway, I'm bored, so let me tell you about Lin Donghu."

As soon as the words fell, the watch on Lin Jingru's wrist rang.

Lin Jingru immediately tapped it and said, "What's up! Lin Shiyi."

From the watch came Lin Shiyi's voice: "Lin Jingru, how are you? I heard from Lin Chang'e that you got separated from her."

Lin Jingru said: "I don't want that either! I ran into a strange mist! I'm currently in a cave with lots of Witch Tribe writing and some kind of verification system—it's definitely a very important place……"

After Lin Jingru finished, Lin Shiyi said: "According to satellite positioning, my current location is directly beneath yours, exactly below, with a distance of three hundred meters."

"Is it really that amazing?"

Lin Jingru looked astonished.

Lin Shiyi said: "I'm below sea level, and I've also found something here. By the way, Lin Jingru, you must not move around, okay? Wait for Dad to come and then we'll talk."

"I know!"

Lin Jingru agreed.

After confirming that Lin Jingru was unharmed, Lin Shiyi was about to end the call when Lin Jingru said: "What about Lin Donghu? Tell him I've found him a daughter-in-law."

"What, what?!"

Lin Shiyi was startled and couldn't react for a moment.

Lin Jingru said: "Hang up, you'll find out later."

After saying that, Lin Jingru ended the call.

Then they burst out laughing.

She could imagine that in the cockpit of Jasmine No. 3, Lin Shiyi and the others must be very curious.

……

Shantian Liangzi stared in shock at the watch on Lin Jingru's wrist.

"Isn't communication supposed to be blocked here?"

Why can Lin Jingru contact the outside world?

Seeing Shantian Liangzi's curious expression, Lin Jingru said arrogantly: "See? The technology we, the Lin Family, have mastered is already beyond what you can imagine."

So, them wanting to compete with us is impossible!
