“Big Brother Yun, how many people did you kill last night?”

When Tang Meng made the call, he wasn't too far away from Qingshui City. Given how quickly he drove his car, he arrived at Ling Yun's courtyard in less than three minutes.

After arriving, the first thing he asked was how many people Ling Yun killed last night. He looked both curious and excited to hear Ling Yun's answer.

Ling Yun had already changed into a new set of clothes. This set of clothing was specially chosen by Zhuang Meifeng and Xiao Meimei when he went shopping with them.

The top was a white b.u.t.ton s.h.i.+rt while the bottom was a pair of light blue jeans. He looked tidy and fas.h.i.+onable.

However, the words that came out of his mouth weren't as cultured and refined. He replied to Tang Meng, “I killed about fifty people. Why?”

“Ah! Why are there so many of them?” Tang Meng was incomparably shocked when he heard that. His big brother's kill count had increased tremendously once more!

Ling Yun smiled faintly as he couldn't be bothered to explain further. He sat in Tang Meng's Hummer and asked, “Are you going to cla.s.s today?”

Tang Meng was stunned at the question. He scratched his head and asked, “What for?”

Ling Yun knew that this kid was definitely not going to cla.s.s, so he continued, “If you're not going to cla.s.s, go find Dao Zi. Get him to find some men to watch over Qingyun Productions. We're going to buy over Qingyun Productions today!”

Tang Meng was the most excited when he heard this. He chuckled. “Alright, I'm on to that!”

Ling Yun continued to ask another question. “What is the situation with Uncle Li and your father? Did anything good happen?”

Tang Meng laughed and replied, “Big Brother Yun, are you really asking that? After what we did to Luo Zhong, they should forget about being government officials if they cannot catch hold of such a great opportunity. Don't worry, I'm guessing three more days is all it will take for us to hear some good news!”

“Qingshui City's bureaucracy is about to change drastically again! Hehe!” Tang Meng was ecstatic and instantly took out a cigarette to smoke.

Ling Yun thought about it for a while before replying, “Since the bureaucracy is about to change, we should visit Green Dragon today as well. Let's pay a visit to Uncle Long to squeeze more from the two men in his hands!”

Tian Botao and Gou Lianshan were both still under the control of Green Dragon. There was naturally a reason why Ling Yun allowed Green Dragon to bring them away.

“Let me ask you something. Back then, I'm not in Qingshui City, and my mother isn't around too. Who was strong enough to get Green Dragon to help us in the dark?”

Ling Yun could never wrap his head over this question, so he casually asked Tang Meng.

Tang Meng continued smoking as he replied with an ugly expression, “Big Brother Yun, who am I supposed to ask? It was clear that Boss Green Dragon wanted to help you. As for the reason, I suggest you ask him in person! However…”

Ling Yun asked, “However what?”

Tang Meng smiled when he saw how worried Ling Yun was and answered, “From the way Long Wu looked at Big Brother Yun last night, I believe Boss Green Dragon is trying to match you with Long Wu, haha…”

“Screw you!” Ling Yun punched Tang Meng's shoulder.

Tang Meng exaggerated his pain as he complained. “Stop hitting me, did you forget I'm still recovering from my injury? Moreover, I have evidence for saying this.”

Ling Yun rolled his eyes and said, “What evidence?”

Tang Meng whispered to Ling Yun, “Big Brother Yun, do you recall back when you took out the Night-Luminescent Pearls and said that it was the betrothal gift for your future wife? What did Long Wu say? She said it was hers!”

Right, Ling Yun really did remember her saying that. When Long Wu heard that over ten Night-Luminescent Pearls were destroyed by Tian Botao, she was so infuriated that she wanted to skin him alive.

Ling Yun remained silent as Tang Meng chuckled. “Uncle Li and my father have been going against Green Dragon for so many years. Who would have thought that they were all working together to deal with Xie Zhenting and Luo Zhong now? With this, we can conquer both above and underground. In the future, I, Tang Meng, will be able to walk around Qingshui City and do anything I want!”

Ling Yun frowned when he heard this. “Are you really that immature? If you're so free to think about this, why don't you think about how you're going to handle Qingyun Productions after we buy them!”

Tang Meng was dumbfounded as he muttered, “Big Brother Yun, we have to handle the Qingyun Productions ourselves after buying them?”

Ling Yun nodded in a serious manner. “Of course, and this is only the beginning. The clothing shop from the Old Xiangxi man is also ours. In the future, we will be selling clothes, opening up a clinic, and doing whatever we can to earn as much money as possible. We need to do it fast and do it fiercely!”

Tang Meng immediately had gooseb.u.mps on his body as he said, “Big Brother Yun, you're really planning to start a business?”

Ling Yun smiled and replied, “Wrong, I'm not the one doing it, you are! In the future, everything regarding money making will be under you. If you aren't able to earn some money for us, you better take good care of your b.u.t.t!”

Speaking of money, Ling Yun suddenly remembered the futures contract and stock accounts given by Zhuang Meifeng. He told himself that if he lost all that money, he was definitely going to take it back from the Sun Family and the Tranquil Sect!

Tang Meng struck his own chest firmly as he smiled widely. “Big Brother Yun, don't worry! I might not be the best at studying, but n.o.body is better than me at earning money!”

Ling Yun smiled to himself upon hearing that. While Ning Lingyu and Xue Meining weren't there yet, he changed the topic of conversation. He asked Tang Meng, “How do you intend to avenge yourself after Xie Junyan injured you so badly?”

Tang Meng furrowed his brows and replied in anger, “Tsk! I'll just do what my mother told me and break all four of Xie Junyan's limbs, no, all five limbs! F*ck! Did he really think I'm an easy target to bully!”

Very soon, he became depressed as he continued, “But Big Brother Yun, I can guarantee that today, or even this entire week, Xie Junyan and Gou Junfa will not dare to go to cla.s.s. They must be hiding now!”

Ling Yun laughed heartily as he comforted him. “Don't worry, a priestess… No, a monk can run away, but the temple will always be there. They will get what they deserve when the time comes!”

Ling Yun was influenced by the Tranquil Sect such that he almost said, a priestess can run away but not the monastery.

After the discussion of the serious matters, Ling Yun and Tang Meng went back to talking about the renovations of the clinic and his mansions. After that, he handed Tang Meng a few keys to prevent him from being locked out from places Ling Yun needed him to be at.

As they were speaking, Ling Yun heard the sound of the engine of a Ferrari. Very soon, a red Ferrari entered Ling Yun's vision. It came to a halt in front of the Hummer.

“Big Brother!”

Ning Lingyu was the first to get out, and she darted into Ling Yun's arms the very moment she set foot on the ground. Ling Yun was already waiting for her with his arms wide open!

Sensing the faint spiritual energy emitted by Ning Lingyu, Ling Yun had mixed emotions. He hugged Ning Lingyu really tightly into his arms. He felt tenderness, but he also felt apologetic towards Ning Lingyu!

Ning Lingyu wasn't able to control herself and started wailing away once she was in Ling Yun's embrace. She cried out all of her worries, unhappiness, shock, and anxiousness all in one go!

Ling Yun's chest was instantly damped from the buckets of tears that Ning Lingyu cried out. He gave Ning Lingyu a light pat on her back as he said multiple times, “Don't worry, Lingyu, everything is over. Nothing like that will ever happen again…”

However, Ling Yun didn't stop or advise Ning Lingyu to stop crying. This was because Ning Lingyu had been oppressed for way too long. Suffering from pent up frustrations would stagnate the blood vessels. Letting her cry her heart out now was the only way to make sure she wouldn't suffer from any illness in the future.

Xue Meining came out from the car and stood silently by the side. She watched as Ning Lingyu cried out loud in Ling Yun's embrace. She felt a little envious but was never jealous.

Xue Meining was a smart girl who knew that as long as Ning Lingyu was around, not many people could s.n.a.t.c.h Ling Yun's embrace from her. Moreover, Xue Meining and Ning Lingyu had already become close sisters who would tell each other everything. Xue Meining admitted that she wouldn't be able to withstand everything Ning Lingyu went through since last Monday!

However, Ning Lingyu did it!

Throughout the entire week of hards.h.i.+ps and torture, Ning Lingyu didn't shed a single tear before seeing Ling Yun. She never displayed any signs of weakness as she endured everything silently. She did what she had to do as she awaited the return of her brother!

Xue Meining had utmost respect and admiration for someone like that.

Surprisingly, Tang Meng didn't get out of the car. He sat in his car silently as he lit up his cigarette and gave it one good puff. He watched how tightly Ning Lingyu hugged Ling Yun as he used the cigarette to show his sincere love.

Tang Meng wasn't dumb, he already knew the feelings Ning Lingyu had for Ling Yun. Besides Qin Qiuyue and Xue Meining, she should be the third in line!

In fact, it didn't take long for Tang Meng to realize this. What took so long was him admitting to himself that it was actually possible. After all, he had been convincing himself that it wasn't.

After Ling Yun disappeared for six days, Tang Meng finally understood and made his decision to let go!

In the entire Qingshui City, how many people liked and admired Ning Lingyu in the dark? Tang Meng had no idea that he wasn't the first, but he knew he wouldn't be the last. However, Tang Meng decided to forget everything he thought was possible today!

The person who could truly protect Ning Lingyu, the person who could give her true happiness, and the person who Ning Lingyu secretly liked, was also the person who was hugging her tightly at this moment.

A fairy-like and exceptionally gorgeous Ning Lingyu could only be matched with a G.o.d-like talent like his Big Brother Yun. It would merely be a wishful thought for everyone else!

When Tang Meng saw how Xue Meining was standing there by the side, he instantly felt how Li Qingchuan felt when he gave up on Ning Er.

Losing to big brother is definitely not considered a loss… Tang Meng comforted himself in his heart. Even though there was a piercing pain in his heart, he felt an unknown type of peace. He wished the best for Ning Lingyu!

“Big Brother, from now on, you have to let me know before going anywhere, okay?”

After releasing all her pent up emotions, she finally lifted her head and stared at Ling Yun with her teary and red eyes.

“Alright!”

Ling Yun's heart was in pain as he agreed without any hesitation. He went ahead to help Ning Lingyu wipe her tears.

“Big Brother, I don't feel like going to cla.s.s today. I want to hang out with you today…”

After Ning Lingyu's tears were wiped off, she looked at Ling Yun with hopeful and pitiful eyes.

“Alright!” Ling Yun pinched Ning Lingyu's nose and agreed quickly!

Since he had already missed one entire week of cla.s.s, what difference did it make to miss another day of school?

Accompanying Lingyu was more important!
