He Ate a Divine Dragon

What had just happened at the Su family home was nothing more than a minor ripple in the grand scheme of Lin Xiao's life. He didn't take it to heart at all.

Therefore, he enjoyed his meal immensely.

At first, Su Qingning was a little worried. She was worried that Su Daonong would seek revenge on Lin Xiao. However, when they finished their meal and nothing had happened, her anxious heart finally settled.

After the meal, Lin Xiao received a call from Xiao Shixiong.

"Sir, the person you asked for has arrived at Miss Su's bar. You'll see him when you get there. Also, Du Junwei contacted me."

"Okay, I got it."

They both hung up.

"Honey, should we head back to the villa or go to the bar?"

"Let's go to the bar," Su Qingning said.

"Alright, let's get going then."

Su Qingning gave a sweet nod of agreement.

There was no need to pay for their meal at Chunyu Pavilion. After all, the place belonged to Shao Mei'er.

On the way to the bar, Lin Xiao said, "By the way, honey, I found a new manager for our bar."

Su Qingning was momentarily stunned. "What about Chu Liangcai? Wasn't he doing a pretty good job?"

Lin Xiao slapped his forehead. "Honey, I forgot to tell you. Chu Liangcai called me this morning and said the bar wasn't up to his standards, so he quit."

A hint of helplessness flashed in Su Qingning's eyes. To be honest, she thought Chu Liangcai had been doing a great job and hadn't expected him to look down on her bar.

Lin Xiao noticed her disappointment and comforted her, "Don't be upset, honey. If he doesn't want the job, plenty of other people do. To tell you the truth, Xiao Shixiong helped me find this new person, so he should be good."

"You troubled him again?"

Lin Xiao laughed. "Yes, but he was happy to help out."

"We have to thank him properly later."

Lin Xiao nodded. "Don't worry, I will."

Su Qingning acknowledged his words.

As they were talking, a skyscraper appeared before them. Written on the building were four large words: Myth Corporation.

"Myth Corporation, so imposing," Lin Xiao remarked instinctively.

Su Qingning, sitting in the passenger seat next to him, naturally saw it as well. She nodded. "It really is impressive. I heard the man behind it is Xiao Shixiong. The company wasn't established long ago, but it's already acquired several other companies. Its strength is formidable."

"How about it, honey? I could talk to Xiao Shixiong and get you a job here."

A while ago, when she was working in Shao Mei'er's office, Lin Xiao had told her he would give her the Myth Corporation, but she had dismissed it as idle boasting.

"Sure, why don't you go ask Xiao Shixiong? See if he'd even have me," Su Qingning said with a laugh.

Lin Xiao's heart leaped with joy. "Honey, you'd really be willing to work here?"

If she was truly willing, Lin Xiao would have driven her over right then and there.

Su Qingning gave Lin Xiao a flirtatious eye-roll. "Willing, my foot! Let's not even talk about whether Xiao Shixiong would want me. What would I even do there? Besides, the bar is doing great, the competition will be over in half a year, and I'm going to win back the Su Corporation!"

"Honey, what if the Myth Corporation was mine? What if I planned to give it to you?"

Pfft. Su Qingning burst out laughing. Her laughter was like radiant sunshine—comforting, yet enough to make one's heart race.

"Seriously, honey, what are you laughing at?"

"Hmph! I'm laughing at you, of course. You're bragging again, husband. That's not a good habit. Still, I appreciate the sentiment, but no more boasting in the future, okay?"

Damn it, she still doesn't believe me. Lin Xiao seriously considered driving straight to the Myth Corporation to have Xiao Shixiong prove him right.

But just then, his phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Pei Donglai.

Lin Xiao answered it. "Captain, there's a problem."

"What happened?"

"Some constables are here."

"Looking for me?" Lin Xiao asked.

Pei Donglai confirmed that they were.

"What's it about?"

"They said it's about you assaulting someone."

Lin Xiao understood. Su Daonong had called the police.

"Alright, I get it. Keep them entertained for a bit."

"Understood."

They hung up.

"Husband, what's wrong?"

"Oh, Su Daonong reported me to the Six Fan Gate. Some constables are at the bar now," Lin Xiao said with a smile.

Su Qingning's heart skipped a beat. This isn't good.

"Husband, maybe I should go talk to Su Daonong. If we have to, we can offer him some money and see if he'll drop the case."

Su Qingning was already preparing for the worst. She had seen Lin Xiao hit the man with her own eyes. If Su Daonong was really injured, Lin Xiao would surely face legal consequences. He might even go to jail.

Lin Xiao just smiled and said, "No need. I happen to know someone who might be able to resolve this."

"Xiao Shixiong?"

"No. Bai Xiangqian," Lin Xiao said.

Su Qingning was startled. Of course, she knew of Bai Xiangqian. He was the head of the Six Fan Gate in Jinling City, a very powerful man. She never expected Lin Xiao to actually know him.

"Husband, are you sure he'll help?"

"Let's give it a try," Lin Xiao said with a laugh.

Su Qingning hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Lin Xiao called Bai Xiangqian. The phone was answered instantly.

"Little Brother, you finally decided to give me a call!"

Bai Xiangqian's hearty laughter came through the phone. He was clearly in high spirits. Indeed, he had just returned from Shengjing and had already received hints from his superiors that a promotion was imminent. Bai Xiangqian was keenly aware that this was all thanks to Lin Xiao, so he was filled with gratitude toward him. Receiving his call naturally made him ecstatic.

"I was afraid you were busy, so I didn't want to disturb you," Lin Xiao said with a laugh.

Bai Xiangqian was tickled by his words. "Little Brother, stop teasing me. Just tell me what you need."

"As a matter of fact, there is something."

Bai Xiangqian's interest was immediately piqued. "What is it?"

"It's like this: I hit Su Daonong this afternoon, and he reported it to the Six Fan Gate. A few constables are at my wife's bar looking for me now."

Bai Xiangqian instantly understood Lin Xiao's intentions. He chuckled and said, "Little Brother, that's a simple matter. I'll head over to Miss Su's bar right now. We can talk in detail when I get there."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Lin Xiao subconsciously glanced at Su Qingning and noticed her looking at him with a strange expression.

"Honey, what's with the lovestruck look?" Lin Xiao teased.

Su Qingning snorted. "I am not looking at you like that! I'm asking you, how do you know Bai Xiangqian?"

"I helped him with a small favor once, and we got to know each other then," Lin Xiao explained with a smile.

He couldn't very well tell her that Bai Xiangqian had been the one to actively seek him out. After all, the news of his previous arrest by the constables had reached the ears of the highest authority in the Nine Provinces' Six Fan Gate. But Lin Xiao knew that even if he told her the truth, she wouldn't believe him anyway.

"A small favor? What kind of favor?"

"I know a little about medicine, remember? I treated an illness for him."

Su Qingning breathed a sigh of relief. "So that's how it is. And here I was, thinking you were some big shot, knowing both Xiao Shixiong and Bai Xiangqian."

Lin Xiao grinned. "Honey, maybe I am a big shot."

"Alright, no more bragging!"

Lin Xiao was speechless.
