Villain: Starting as a Corrupt Tycoon's Wife

Page 63

Looking at the bustling night scene around him, Ling Yun realized it had been a long time since he had gone shopping alone. Usually, he was always surrounded by at least a few women.

He walked alone down the street, having not eaten much, eating as he strolled, hoping to find some amusement.

After wandering around for about half an hour, I didn't find any new targets, but my stomach was full.

He took out his phone and sent a few words in the bodyguard group chat.

In less than a minute, several seemingly ordinary pedestrians gathered around him.

"Chairman Ling, you're amazing!"

Erleng gave Lingyun a thumbs up: "You've discovered all of us brothers!"

"You think this is an honor?"

Erleng touched his bald head: "I'll urge them to practice more when I get back."

"Let's not talk about that now." Ling Yun handed them a bag of food. "In a few days, the security personnel from the original manor will be under your command. I've created a new department just for you, and we'll call it the Woof Woof Special Forces."

"Yes, sir!"

The bald man saluted excitedly, his blood boiling, though he didn't know what was burning within him.

"The current members are you, Ah Mao, Ah Gou, and Ah Shiba, right?"

"Yes, sir!"

"Okay, just use the same style for the code names of the next few people you add."

"Yes!"

Ling Yun casually waved his hand, telling them to go with the protagonist when they had time, and that he didn't need them to keep an eye on things on his side.

They had all been defeated by Ling Yun before and knew how powerful their chairman was. However, there was nothing much going on tonight, and Er Leng also wanted to train their tracking skills, so he came to give it a try, only to be utterly defeated.

It's not that Lingyun's counter-surveillance ability is particularly outstanding, but rather that he possesses the "Eye of Insight" bug, which allows him to see through any disguise no matter how well you conceal your identity.

Erleng drove Lingyun back to the villa. Bai Xin also went to visit her mother tonight, so the villa was empty.

Now Lingyun was truly an empty-nest old man, so he opened the door of the villa next door.

Tao Yuting gave him the spare key, so the young man could come in at any time.

There was a knock on the door, which startled Tao Yuting from her sleep, but after hearing Ling Yun's voice outside, she opened the door while yawning.

"I didn't lock my door, you can just come in next time... Ouch!"

After being tackled and thoroughly ravaged by Ling Yun, Tao Yuting was completely exhausted.

"Bu Hao is dead."

Tao Yuting's younger sister tensed up and looked up: "Really dead?"

Ling Yun nodded slightly, staring into the beautiful teacher's eyes, wanting to see how she would react.

Tao Yuting breathed a sigh of relief and gave him a big kiss on the lips: "Why didn't you call me over to check? That bastard pretending to be Mediterranean, he probably wanted to kidnap me! Luckily you talked to me beforehand."

After learning of Bu Hao's death, Tao Yuting was revitalized and insisted on giving Ling Yun another lesson.

Chapter 102: Haunted Again

"No, it's haunted again?"

Wu Qianyi blinked on the other end of the phone: "Chairman Ling, what do you mean by 'again'?"

"It's okay, you can talk."

"Let me have Sister Linglan tell you; she knows more about it."

Ling Lan took the phone and told Ling Yun what had happened last night.

Wu Qianyi's relative died. The death was very strange. She was in high spirits just last week, but suddenly she died. The way she died was very similar to that of Zhou Qiao's brother and father. They all died from sudden cerebral hemorrhage.

There wasn't a good doctor in the village, and since he was alone at home, he missed the golden opportunity for rescue. By the time the neighbors smelled the stench, he had already been dead for two days.

According to the customs of Taoyuan Village, after a person dies, they must stay at home for 7 days before the funeral procession.

The funeral was originally scheduled for this morning, and the villagers all arrived at two or three in the morning. With so many people, it was lively, and everyone chatted idly, waiting for the official departure at 5 a.m.

Around 4 o'clock, a cold wind blew into the courtyard, making many villagers shiver with cold.

Wu Qianyi was sitting next to Ling Lan, so she wasn't too cold, but things started to get strange afterward.

Amidst bursts of weeping, a pale, semi-transparent figure appeared in the main room.

The villagers were all a bit superstitious, and they all ran out shouting that Old Li's ghost had returned.

In order to protect Wu Qianyi, Ling Lan did not linger, but instead sent her assistant home first.

Too many people witnessed this, making it difficult for village chief Li Mengxuan to suppress the incident. Old Li's body is still at home, and no one dares to help with the funeral arrangements.

"Master, I think that ghost will reappear. Qiaoqiao and Mengxuan are still in the village..."

"Then I'll come over."

The same principle applies: the things the female lead encounters are bound to be complicated, and the protagonist is often involved.

It was around 6 a.m., and Tao Yuting was still asleep. Ling Yun woke her up with morning exercises, gave her a full drink, and then drove to Taoyuan Village.

Ling Lan drove Wu Qianyi home in a nanny van, which was quite spacious; the supercar was still inside the Lingyun Villa.

Ling Yun arrived at Wu Qianyi's house, and the assistant practically rushed into Ling Yun's arms, pulling him to recount the scene of encountering a ghost the previous night.

"Who was there last night? Were Zhou Qiao and Li Mengxuan there too?"

"Qiaoqiao didn't come, but Aunt Wang did."

Usually, it's the older generation who attend funerals. Wu Qianyi felt sorry for her mother, and her father had difficulty walking, so she went to Old Li's house with Ling Lan.

After this incident, Li Mengxuan was also very troubled. After learning that Ling Yun had arrived, she rushed to Wu Qianyi's house.

"Chairman Ling, what brings you here?"

Ling Yun pulled her to the back of the house, hugged her, and gave her a passionate kiss: "Didn't I tell you not to call me Chairman Ling?"

Li Mengxuan felt relieved and said softly, "I was just worried that you would listen to the villagers' gossip and it would have a bad influence."

"You don't think I'd withdraw the construction team because of something like this, do you?"

Where can I find it?

Ling Yun could tell that Li Mengxuan was indeed worried about this kind of thing, and he was both annoyed and amused.

"Comrade Li Mengxuan, I'm your man, what do you take me for?"

Li Mengxuan lowered her head: "You have so many women, and you haven't come in so long..."

Ling Yun grabbed her chin: "You just visited me last week, what, did I make you lose your memory?"

"I was wrong. Please forgive me this time."

Li Mengxuan finally smiled. Ling Yun drove to her house and spent more than an hour messing around in her bedroom before letting her go.

Li Mengxuan was finally relieved, but Old Li's body couldn't just be left there; she still had to find someone to help send it for cremation.

"Just tell them it's feudal superstition, and hurry up and send off the deceased."

"But now the news has spread throughout the village, what should we do?"

"Find a few brave guys... Besides, the sun's already up, what's there to be afraid of?"

The village chief drew circles on his chest with her finger: "Tell me, do ghosts really exist in this world?"

"Want to hear the truth?"

The woman nodded immediately; she vaguely sensed something.

"Actually, there is."

Li Mengxuan felt a little scared: "Really?"

"So what if it exists? It's just a stage after a person dies. You can just treat it as an objective phenomenon."

"Now that you put it that way, it's not so scary after all."

Ling Yun didn't explain in detail to her that there are different kinds of ghosts. Not all ghosts will actively harm people, but ghosts that can stay in the human world have a very high probability of harming people. It's best to stay away from them if you encounter them.

Led by the village chief, the young men from the construction team and the men from the village formed a group to take Old Li to the crematorium, and his ashes were buried in his vegetable garden.

As for the ghost they saw last night, Li Mengxuan repeatedly warned them that if they talked nonsense, the construction team might leave.

The road has been under construction for a month, and the villagers have seen hope, promising not to spread rumors anymore.

But Li Mengxuan couldn't control what others talked about in private.

That night, Lingyun stayed at the village chief's house. Li Mengxuan used all her skills to satisfy Lingyun. In the end, not only was his flower room filled, but his stomach was also filled, and he couldn't drink a single drop.

Witty and Eloquent: Intelligent and articulate, skilled in playing the xiao (a type of Chinese flute).

Li Mengxuan's identity as the female lead has been revealed, and it seems that the ghost story in the village is just the beginning.

Lingyun told her to rest first, and then drove alone to Old Li's house.

He stood in front of the grave playing on his phone until late at night, when he finally felt sleepy, but he didn't notice anything strange.

Just then, a gust of cold wind blew from behind.

Ling Yun immediately turned around and saw the figure in the moonlight.

The figure was hunched over and emaciated, with a white beard; it was none other than Old Li, who had been dead for seven days!

Old Li's voice was shrill and hoarse: "My good grandson...where are you...Grandpa is in so much pain..."

It looked at Lingyun, and its tone became distorted again.

"You all deserve to die...you all deserve to die!"

Old Li's ghost pounced, and Ling Yun immediately countered, his Blazing Sun True Qi enveloping his fist, sending the opponent flying, but failing to inflict any effective damage.

The ghost let out a shriek and then pounced again.

Just as it was about to grab Lingyun, the young man waved the talisman in his hand.

The moment the talisman came into contact with the ghost, it burst forth with a dazzling light, followed by a scream, and the ghost turned into wisps of green smoke and vanished.

Ling Yun picked up the talisman and noticed that its light seemed to have dimmed a bit.

"Luckily it's not a one-time use item, otherwise no amount of points would be enough to make it."

Ling Yun put away the talisman and was just about to head back home when he heard shouts coming from not far away.

This time it wasn't a ghost, but someone was actually calling for help!

Chapter 103 Instant Kill

Ling Yun ran towards the back mountain. He was now several times faster than before, and he ran for several miles without even panting.

At the same time, another young man in his early twenties in the back hills also heard the noise. After identifying the direction, he ran towards the source of the sound.

The two soon met under a sandalwood tree.

Ling Yun's appearance startled the other party, who almost instinctively swung his trekking pole.

Ling Yun delivered a powerful roundhouse kick, breaking the trekking pole and knocking the opponent to the ground.

The man cried out and fell to the ground. Ling Yun had only used less than a tenth of his strength; otherwise, that kick would have smashed his head open.
