Urban Ace Bodyguard

"Is your last name really Lin?"

The cold-blooded red-haired woman, for the first time, had a hint of surprise and disbelief in her voice.

"I've been a Lin for over twenty years now," Lin Hai answered.

The red-haired woman fell into silence.

After a brief silence, she slowly spoke, "You can go now, and don't mention today's events to anyone."

"Also, you can rest assured that Demon Young Master is not interested in your sister, because Demon Young Master... never mind, you'll understand this later."

Having said that, the red-haired woman hesitated for a few seconds before tossing a business card in front of Lin Hai.

"If you encounter any difficulties in Yanjing, you can call this number for help."

As her voice faded away, the red-haired woman leaped and disappeared into the night.

Lin Hai picked up the card, which only had a phone number and nothing else.

Touching his chin, Lin Hai muttered to himself, "Who is this Demon Young Master? Why did this woman appear so abruptly, and for what purpose?"

"Forget it, no point in thinking. Since it's not threatening Mengru's safety, there's nothing else to worry about. Time to find Zhuge Jianguo and figure out how to deal with Qin Shou."

Lin Hai put away the card, shook his head, and turned to leave.

...

Ten minutes later, in a luxurious villa in Yanjing, the red-haired woman was standing respectfully in front of a languid young man.

"Did you find out clearly?" the young man asked indifferently.

The red-haired woman nodded, "It's clear now, Lin Hai has no ill intentions towards Lin Mengru."

"Good," the young man said with a single word.

The red-haired woman hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Demon Young Master, there's something I'm not sure whether I should say."

"Go ahead."

"That Lin Hai claims to be Lin Mengru's biological brother."

After speaking, the red-haired woman cautiously observed the expression on Demon Young Master's face.

"Say that again."

"Demon Young Master, Lin Hai claims to be Lin Mengru's biological brother..."

"That's impossible!"

Demon Young Master's voice was firm and decisive.

"But... Demon Young Master, I observed closely, and Lin Hai doesn't seem to be lying."

The red-haired woman was also quite shocked by this news.

Demon Young Master took a deep breath, no longer showing the laziness and indifference from earlier.

"Are you sure?" Demon Young Master asked again.

The red-haired woman nodded, "I'm sure unless he's exceptionally good at disguising, he absolutely couldn't escape my observation."

"Lin Hai... has the surname Lin... Mengru's biological brother..."

Demon Young Master murmured as if his mind was racing.

For a long time, he gently put down the jade wine glass in his hand, still unwilling to believe this news.

"How is this possible!"

"It's absolutely impossible!"

"Mengru is the biological daughter of Second Uncle. I have repeatedly verified this beyond any doubt."

"Then does that mean... this Lin Hai is Second Uncle's biological son!"

"But... why have I never heard that Second Uncle had a son?"

Demon Young Master shook his head again, but his hand involuntarily clenched into a fist, clearly indicating complex emotions.

"Master, this matter..." the red-haired woman asked.

"This matter must be kept strictly confidential."

Demon Young Master thought for a moment and ordered the red-haired woman, "From now on, infiltrate Lin Hai's life, and no matter what method, ensure his safety closely. Even if it means sacrificing your own life, you must not allow anyone to harm him in the slightest."

"Yes, Master," the red-haired woman immediately agreed.

"You may go."

Demon Young Master waved his hand.

The red-haired woman respectfully withdrew, her heart already in turmoil.

After all, in her mind, the noble Demon Young Master suddenly had a big brother out of thin air. Anyone hearing this news would be quite shocked.

The villa room returned to silence.

Demon Young Master stood up, pacing back and forth on the floor, touching his chin—an action that mirrored Lin Hai's when he was thinking.

"Second Uncle disappeared more than twenty years ago, life or death unknown..."

"If what Lin Hai said is true... then I should call him big brother."

Suddenly, a bright light shone in Demon Young Master's eyes as he clenched his fists tightly, "Second Uncle was kind to my line in the past, and I must not let his descendants be harmed again."

Demon Young Master was always reputed in Yanjing to distinguish clearly between gratitude and resentment, to exact revenge for the slightest grievance, and repay any kindness.

If Lin Hai were standing here at this moment, he would immediately recognize who this famous Demon Young Master in Yanjing truly was.

Meanwhile, in a private bar's booth in Yanjing.

Qin Shou was holding two scantily clad gorgeous women, his hands fondling the thighs of these women, savoring the wine transferred to him by their mouths, exuding the full atmosphere of a playboy enjoying the temptations of nightlife.

Kneeling before him was a sexy woman, but at this moment, her face was filled with fear.

About ten minutes passed before Qin Shou slowly lifted his head, pushed away the women on either side, and stared at the woman on the floor whom he had neglected.

"Bao Yujing, do you know where you went wrong?" Qin Shou asked coldly.

The woman kneeling on the floor was the same woman Lin Hai had encountered at the airport—a poisonous Miss Bao.

At this moment, Miss Bao was terrified, her face pale, looking at Qin Shou with immense fear and pleading, "Young Master Qin, please calm your anger."

"Calm my anger? I'd like to, but with this matter not accomplished, how can I explain to Young Master Wolf?"

Qin Shou snorted coldly, anger in his voice.

"Young Master Qin, I investigated this matter. It was a farmer named Lin Hai who drank all the poisoned water from the dispenser; it was purely an accident." At this point, Miss Bao was filled with hatred for Lin Hai.

"Tsk tsk, a farmer can disrupt your meticulous plan?" Qin Shou sneered.

Miss Bao began to tremble once more.

"The death penalty can be avoided, but you can't escape punishment." Qin Shou snorted, taking out a whip from behind.

Panic and pleading filled Miss Bao's eyes.

Qin Shou was unmoved by her pleading gaze.

Crack—

The sharp whip cracked through the dim bar booth, striking ferociously on Miss Bao's delicate body.

"Ah—Young Master Qin, I'm sorry, I beg you, just this once."

Crack-crack-crack—

In response were relentless whipping sounds landing hard in succession.

After lashing for over ten minutes, Qin Shou finally discarded the whip, a menacing expression lingering on his face, as he growled viciously:

"Don't forget, you were nothing but a social butterfly in a university before, just a trashy woman, and it's because of me that you have your current life!"

Bao Yujing lay painfully curled on the floor, trembling as she pleaded, "Young Master Qin, I was wrong, please give me another chance."

"A chance? Fine, I'll give you a chance." Qin Shou chuckled coldly, continuing, "You know Lin Mengru, the one I dumped recently?"

"I know," Bao Yujing immediately responded.

Qin Shou nodded, "Approach her, continually target her, make sure she lives in torment every day, it's best if you provoke her to suicide."

"Young Master Qin, why target an ordinary girl like that?" Bao Yujing asked in disbelief.

Qin Shou snorted, "What do you think my approach to her was for? It's time you knew."

"Because Young Master Wolf discovered that Lin Mengru seems connected to Demon Young Master, and while Young Master Wolf can't act directly against Demon Young Master, he can target those around him. This Lin Mengru, she might be a direct descendant of the family behind Demon Young Master. Understand?"

"I understand, Young Master Qin, I'll get it done this time," Bao Yujing quickly agreed.

Qin Shou nodded and suddenly showed a wicked smile as he beckoned to Bao Yujing, "Come over here."

Bao Yujing promptly crawled over on her knees without delay.
