Chapter 862: Can't Run Away

~7 min read 1,289 words

Sss~

A sharp screeching brake sound rang out.

It turned out that Ye Yingying slammed on the brakes.

At this moment, not stopping the car was impossible, because if it kept going, a crash would be inevitable.

Fortunately, there weren't many cars at night.

A minute ago, Ye Yingying already felt she couldn't hold the steering wheel.

After stopping, Ye Yingying immediately opened the door, rushed to the roadside, and started running.

What's wrong with her?

Lin Jingru and Yang Caiwei exchanged a glance.

Immediately, Lin Jingru jumped out of the car, "Cai Wei Yiniang, you watch the car; I'll go take a look!"

Having said that, Lin Jingru chased after Ye Yingying.

Yang Caiwei shook their head, took out a tablet, and opened the steward software.

There have been a lot of household matters lately; it's getting busier.

The software contains many to‑do items.

For example, if a servant makes a mistake, they must be dismissed immediately and a few new hires brought in.

After summer began, the household's consumption of spices and cosmetics surged, requiring procurement.

They are high‑end items and need to be ordered in advance.

There's also clothing, especially that category, which must be given special attention.

New styles appear each year, so the sisters at home should have extra stock.

Especially for the upscale women's boutique the family runs, the new, attractive styles need to be stocked more.

There are also old clothes no longer worn, especially stockings and panties, which cannot just be thrown away.

It's not a matter of wastefulness.

It's because they might be taken by others.

So they must be destroyed directly.

…

All of the above are trivial matters.

More important is the finances, the management of the family's shops.

There's also Lin Feng's schedule.

In the past, Lin Feng often ran here and there, and Yang Caiwei thought scheduling him would be difficult.

Now Yang Caiwei knows that if Lin Feng stays in one place for too long, it's even harder to arrange.

Fortunately there's the Moli.

Otherwise many sisters would probably not see Lin Feng's face all year.

The management system is networked.

Yang Caiwei saw some to‑do items they hadn't handled yet and moved them to the completed section,

realizing that at the same moment, Zheng Enhui was also working.

While Yang Caiwei was busy here, Lin Jingru also caught up with Ye Yingying.

Ye Yingying, looking exhausted from running, squatted on the ground, panting heavily.

"Ye Yiniang, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Jingru took slow steps toward Ye Yingying, asking as they approached.

Ye Yingying turned, glanced at Lin Jingru, and through clenched teeth said, "Little Jingru, don't worry, I'm fine!"

Lin Jingru quickly sensed something was off.

Because Ye Yingying was actually panting heavily.

One must know that an Enhancer's stamina is excellent; running that distance shouldn't leave them this exhausted.

There's a problem!

There must be a problem!

Lin Jingru frowned and thought.

Unfortunately, her mind spun several rounds but couldn't guess what was happening.

All she knew was that Ye Yiniang's body had an issue.

Could it be the Enhancement Agent's cause?

Thinking that, Lin Jingru called out to Ye Yingying and stepped back a bit.

At this moment, Ye Yingying was actually hoping Lin Jingru would go farther!

"Damned Linlin!"

Ye Yingying gritted her teeth and said, half crying, half laughing.

She now understood what was happening.

It was still related to the abilities she gained after the Enhancement.

Probably her emotions and sensations synced with Ling Lin's.

What a very strange thing!

She and Ling Lin aren't twins; how could this happen?

Elsewhere, Lin Jingru picked up the phone and dialed Lin Shi Yi's number.

The call connected quickly, and Lin Shi Yi's voice came through, "Lin Jingru!"

"It's me!"

Lin Jingru turned her head, glanced at Aunt Ye squatting on the ground not far away, and said in Witch Tribe Language, "Lin Shiyi, there's a problem here, and I don't know whether it's good or bad…"

This matter was supposed to be reported to Lin Shiyi immediately.

After Lin Jingru finished, Lin Shiyi exclaimed in surprise, "They all have Superpowers now?"

"Yes!"

Lin Jingru said with a smile, "It's all because of the Enhancement Agent you made, Lin Shiyi—so impressive! How did you do it?"

Lin Shiyi replied, "I used the witch aunt's genes as a base; actually the production process isn't that complicated…"

At this point Lin Shiyi stopped his explanation, because he knew Lin Jingru couldn't understand such highly technical details and didn't want to hear them.

Sure enough, Lin Jingru said, "Don't say more, I don't get it. Right now there's a situation: I don't know about Aunt Ling, but Aunt Ye looks very tired here.

Her expression is odd, as if she's straining to endure pain.

No, it doesn't seem painful, yet it seems joyful; anyway, I don't know why she looks like that."

Lin Shiyi said, "If you put it that way, I don't know either. As long as there's no life danger, you can just come back and discuss it later."

"By the way, Lin Jingru, your embezzlement has been discovered by your mother, and my mom knows about it too."

"Ah~"

Lin Jingru was startled.

Lin Shiyi said, "It was bound to happen sooner or later; now let me think about what to do!"

After saying that, Lin Shiyi hung up.

Lin Jingru frowned.

This matter arrived earlier than she had expected.

What should I do?

She still hadn't contacted Lin Chang'e; Lin Baby and the others were holding a meeting to establish the Dark Organization!

After a moment's thought, Lin Jingru immediately called Lin Chang'e.

"Lin Jingru, why are you calling so late? I'm already asleep."

When the line connected, Lin Chang'e mumbled.

From her voice, you could tell Lin Chang'e was being sincere.

She, like Lin Donghu, can fall asleep within five minutes of saying she's going to sleep.

"The money issue, the moms already know!"

Lin Jingru shouted loudly.

"Ah~"

Lin Chang'e let out a startled cry.

Immediately she shouted, "Bad! I have to run right now!"

She kept talking without hanging up and began packing her things.

"Hey~ Hey! Lin Chang'e, what are you doing? No need to panic! It's night now, where are you running to?"

Lin Jingru shouted.

While packing, Lin Chang'e said, "You have no idea how terrifying my mom is; she'll definitely come after me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Jingru heard the younger witch aunt's voice on the phone, "Lin Chang'e, trying to run!? Stop right there!"

Immediately, Lin Chang'e let out a startled "Maya!"

Lin Jingru hung up and sighed.

Staring at the pitch‑black night sky, the thought of fleeing also rose in her mind.

If I don't run now, should I just wait to be caught and punished?

After hesitating, Lin Jingru ignored Ye Yingying, tossed her phone aside, turned, and ran.

Why throw the phone?

Afraid Mom would track her with the phone.

…

"Lin Shiyi, what you're doing is wrong!"

While Lin Jingru was running, Qi Yao appeared before Lin Shiyi and said lightly.

Lin Shiyi lowered his head, "Mom, if I don't tell them it would be disloyal. Anyway they can't escape; sooner or later they'll be caught, so whether they run or not the result is the same."

Qi Yao patted Lin Shiyi's head, "I won't punish you this time. You're grown now, and I don't want to control you; do whatever you want!"

But Lin Chang'e and Lin Jingru's mothers think differently, so…

Lin Shiyi nodded, "Mom, I understand! So I'll accept the punishment; this way you won't be gossip‑talked about by them."

"I'll go be punished together with Lin Donghu! We're both boys."
