C1 – You Dare To Set Me Up!!!
“Lin Yuxing! If you value your well-being, swiftly surrender the jade pendant and cease this pretense of vulnerability,” one of the teachers admonished sternly, placing his hands on his hips, addressing the young man who teetered on the brink of collapse.New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on novel(b)in(.)com
The youth in green attire cast his gaze downward, his eyelashes quivering gently. Upon hearing these words, a shiver coursed through his entire body, and he abruptly lifted his eyes, fixing a cold, unwavering stare upon the person standing before him. This icy glare forced the latter to retreat several steps in fear.
“You…!” You…! Why the hostility! Yao Li, considering the long-standing friendship between our families, I merely reclaimed the jade pendant. Do you need to hide it so shamelessly!”
“Very well!” “You can come retrieve the jade pendant tomorrow morning. I assure you it will be returned to its rightful owner,” the young man retorted to his teacher with a touch of mockery, a sardonic smile curving his lips. The current persona was no longer the same; it was now Lin Yuxing, the master of this post-apocalyptic world.
With those words, the youth was assisted in turning around. His limping and feeble appearance transformed into one of resolve, standing tall and proud like a resilient bamboo. Meanwhile, those seeking to collect debts beat a hasty retreat with their tails between their legs.
Lin Yuxing wearily massaged his temples. Having recently assimilated the memories of the original owner, he required some time to make sense of everything. Nevertheless, certain matters demanded immediate attention. If they aimed to play dirty tricks on him, he would return the favor with a grand gesture.
The countryside night exuded a tranquil and auspicious aura. Aside from the occasional croak of frogs, a serene harmony enveloped the surroundings.
Suddenly, “Dong Dong Dong…” The knocking sounded light.
A smile formed on Lin Yuxing’s lips as they finally arrived at their destination. He gestured to his younger brother to carefully retrieve the wooden stick tucked in the corner of the house and place it discreetly behind the door, patiently waiting.
The individual, seemingly a bit impatient from the wait, greeted him at the door with a baton salute.
“Aiyo…!” The unexpected arrival took a blow as he opened the door, but due to his guilty conscience, he deliberately kept his voice down. Nonetheless, Lin Yuchen paid no heed and used all his strength in the altercation.
“Yuxing, cease this! Stop! It’s me…!” The man quickly pleaded for mercy, unaware that his revelation only fueled the young man’s anger, making him press harder.
Lin Yuxing retorted, “Tsk! Spare me! You’re the one on the receiving end! If you truly cared about Lin Yuxing’s reputation, you wouldn’t have arrived in the dead of night! If you cared about him, you wouldn’t have let that troublemaker Ah Yao of yours run rampant here!” It was evident this person wanted to make his life even more miserable and tarnish his reputation further!
“Yuxing, don’t provoke needless conflicts!” After all, he was a man, and his strength surpassed that of the present Lin Yuchen.
Observing his younger brother’s submission, a pair of deep, dark eyes betrayed a strong undercurrent of mockery. “Li Xiangyu, don’t assume that I, the Young Master, am oblivious to your intentions! Release Yuchen, or I’ll teach you a lesson!”
Li Xiangyu received a scolding that left him dumbfounded. In his recollection, Lin Yuxing had always been a well-mannered and gentle individual.
“Yuxing, I’ve promised to marry you and have you as my partner,” Li Xiang Yu playfully teased, “Enough with the jokes.”
Lin Yuxing realized that he couldn’t prolong this any further, as it might jeopardize Yuchen too. He urgently called out, “Ah Yao, Dad, please come quickly! We’ve apprehended the intruder!”
Li Xiang Yu was taken aback, immediately releasing Lin Yuchen and making a dash for the door. However, someone who had been lying in wait swiftly emerged and bound Li Xiang Yu in front of Lin Yuxing.
“This is utterly shameless! Just get rid of him!” Lin Yuchen massaged his arm and fumed. But before Lin Yuxing and the others could interrogate him, another assertive and irate voice resounded from beyond the courtyard gate.
“Lin Yuxing! Produce the jade pendant right away, or I’ll teach you a lesson!” Late at night, Lee Su, unable to sleep, had come to retrieve the jade pendant.
Lin Yuxing couldn’t help but chuckle softly. It was better that Lee Su arrived early rather than later. His son had just arrived, and his mother was close behind, “Dad, he’s here, isn’t he?” To resolve all of this, it would be most advantageous to involve the Village Chief and the others.
