Chapter 132: The Black Widow's Generous Gift

Reminded by Yu Ping, Liu Fuyu finally calmed down, realizing she had almost gone too far with her act of pretense.

Liu Fuyu also knew that, given Lin Yang's formidable strength, she would definitely be the one to suffer if a physical confrontation broke out.

"I remember you. Just you wait; sooner or later, I'll tear that stinky mouth of yours apart and make you apologize to me," Liu Fuyu threatened viciously.

Liang Jian had already made his stance clear at the hospital last night, vowing to use his connections and network to take revenge on Lin Yang. He wouldn't be jumping around for much longer.

Liu Fuyu had been present at the time, so for now, she had no choice but to endure it.

"Liu Fuyu, you're still exactly the same as you were back in school—spoiled, arrogant, and blind to everyone else. But back then, you had Lin Yang protecting you. Now, he's my boyfriend. Without him to shield you, how dare you still act so wild?" Lin Yimo said calmly.

"Lin Yang? Do you really think he's worth protecting now? Do you even know who my current boyfriend is? It's Liang Kuan. You should know him. His father is already the vice president of the Magnificent Chamber of Commerce. What does Lin Yang have to compare with Liang Kuan?" Liu Fuyu sneered with utter contempt.

"He's nothing more than a loser I broke off my engagement with, someone I hold in utter contempt. You're just picking up the trash I threw away, yet you act like you've struck gold? It's hilarious."

Seeing Liu Fuyu belittle Lin Yang in such a manner, Lin Yimo felt deeply displeased.

"Liang Kuan isn't even worthy of carrying Lin Yang's shoes. A person without eyes—just speaking one more word to you makes me feel like my intelligence is being insulted. You'll live to regret this."

Lin Yimo couldn't be bothered to trade insults with Liu Fuyu any longer.

With Lin Yang's identity as a Grandmaster, he was streets ahead of Liang Kuan. The son of the vice president of the Magnificent Chamber of Commerce couldn't even compare to a single toe of Lin Yang's.

Only someone like Liu Fuyu would treat that as capital for showing off. Lin Yimo felt that continuing to argue with her would only make herself look foolish.

Realizing that Liu Fuyu was no match for Lin Yimo and was being driven mad with frustration by just a few words while remaining completely helpless, Yu Ping said, "Forget it. Let's go eat somewhere else; this is ruining our appetite."

Yu Ping stood up and pulled Liu Chengzhi away.

Before leaving, Liu Chengzhi still couldn't resist offering a warning: "Xiaoyang, take care of yourself. You'd better leave Luocheng recently and go lie low somewhere."

"Thank you for the warning, Uncle Liu, but I don't want to leave just yet," Lin Yang said calmly.

"Why are you wasting your breath on him? Let's go already!"

Yu Ping glared fiercely at Liu Chengzhi, and the family left the premises.

Liu Fuyu felt rather stifled inside. Her attempt at putting on airs had completely failed, leaving her extremely aggrieved.

"Lin Yang, I'll be waiting to see how miserable your end turns out to be."

"Finally, I can eat my breakfast in peace," Lin Yang remarked.

"She probably still has no idea about your current strength, right?" Lin Yimo chuckled.

"I couldn't care less. Telling her would be pointless; we haven't been walking the same path for a long time."

Lin Yang's feelings toward the Liu family were now as calm as still water in an ancient well.

After finishing their meal, Lin Yang took Lin Yimo to a bank, and upon coming out, he handed her a bank card.

"There are fifty million in this card. Take it."

"What do you mean by this? Are you trying to brush me off with money?"

A flash of anger immediately appeared on Lin Yimo's face.

"Don't misunderstand. Didn't you say before that you wanted to start your own business after graduation? Your family's company is currently on its last legs, and it doesn't seem to be worth saving. This fifty million is startup capital from me. You should do something you actually want to do so that life can be more enjoyable, right?"

Hearing Lin Yang's explanation, Lin Yimo bit her lip. She had indeed harbored plans of starting her own business for a long time.

She never expected her family to run into such misfortune, forcing her plans to be aborted before they could even begin.

"But..."

"There are no 'buts'. Just take it, and tell me if it's not enough." Lin Yang forced the card into Lin Yimo's hand.

"Thank you. Back then, when I wanted to start my own business, not a single person in my family agreed. In their eyes, my ideals didn't matter, and my thoughts didn't matter either."

Lin Yimo's eyes grew slightly moist.

Both her grandfather and her father favored boys over girls and had always leaned toward her younger brother, Lin Weixiang.

Lin Yimo had desperately wanted to prove herself.

She believed her family wasn't unaware of these thoughts, but rather that they simply didn't care. Only Lin Yang cared, and only Lin Yang supported her.

"To me, your ideals and thoughts are very important, and you are very important too. Go ahead and do what you want, and make sure to tell me if you encounter any difficulties."

Lin Yimo hugged Lin Yang tightly, deeply moved beyond words.

Lin Yimo did not return to the Emperor's Court with Lin Yang. Clutching the fifty million, she needed to immediately dive into work mode, not letting herself down and not failing Lin Yang's support.

Returning to the Emperor's Court, Lin Yang prepared the medicinal herbs brought by Deng Kuikui, brewed them into a medicinal bath, and began to charge toward the Fifth Grade.

Sitting in the bathtub, the water turned blood-red, and a scorching surge of medicinal potency coursed through his entire body.

He immediately circulated the Dragon-Elephant Heaven-Shaking Art to absorb the medicinal energy and strengthen his true qi.

While he was cultivating, the Black Widow Cheng Wanqing arrived at the doorstep carrying the medicinal herbs treasured by the Cheng family. Finding the main gates tightly shut, Cheng Wanqing did not leave; instead, she sat in her car and waited.

"President Cheng, are we just going to wait here like this?" Cheng Wanqing's secretary, Huizi, asked.

"Just wait, there's no rush," Cheng Wanqing replied.

Lin Yang practiced until around noon, by which time the water in the bathtub had cleared, and he had successfully advanced to a Fifth-Grade Grandmaster.

"This cultivation recipe provided by Master is excellent, but the only drawback is that the excessive yang energy is too strong after every session."

Lin Yang felt the chaotic, rampaging evil fire within his body with a sense of helplessness.

Stepping out onto the balcony, he spotted a car parked outside the courtyard. Using his double pupils to see right through it, he caught sight of Cheng Wanqing and Huizi inside, whereupon he used the remote control to open the courtyard gates.

Seeing the gates swing open, Cheng Wanqing hurriedly stepped out of the car and gathered all the medicinal herbs.

"Greetings, Grandmaster Lin. Are you home?"

With a leap, Lin Yang descended from the third floor in a single bound.

"Why are you the one delivering the herbs? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

"Grandmaster Lin didn't kill me yesterday, so there's even less reason to kill me today. I'm here to apologize to you."

Who would ever believe that this was the notorious Black Widow of the Luocheng underworld? Right now, standing before Lin Yang, she was as docile as a harmless little female puppy.

"Don't try to second-guess my thoughts. I'm a fickle person who kills without blinking."

As he spoke, Lin Yang took stock of the medicinal herbs, feeling a wave of great joy in his heart.

The Cheng family's collection was quite substantial, the most precious of all naturally being that five-hundred-year-old spirit ganoderma.

As his grade increased, the medicinal herbs required thereafter would only grow in volume, and these were still far from enough.

"Are these medicinal herbs to Grandmaster Lin's satisfaction?" Cheng Wanqing asked.

Lin Yang nodded and said, "You may leave now."

"Aside from these herbs, I have brought a grand gift here, and I hope Grandmaster Lin will graciously accept it," Cheng Wanqing said.

"What gift?"

Cheng Wanqing gave a subtle nod to Huizi beside her, who immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"Her name is Huizi. She is my secretary and comes from East Island. Both her figure and her skills are absolute top-tier. Furthermore, she is herself a Seventh-Grade expert who deeply admires Grandmaster Lin and is willing to serve you from this day forward." Cheng Wanqing declared.
