Second-Generation Heir x Illegitimate Son 14

As soon as Lin Sui's words fell, the room became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop; no one dared to reply.

Seeing him walk towards the door, everyone turned sideways to make way for him, holding their breath as they watched him leave.

Yan Qin followed behind him, the heart in his chest beating violently.

The rain outside was heavy, and the moisture in the air permeated everywhere, seeming as if it would submerge the city.

The streams of water converging on the ground acted like a bright mirror, reflecting the youth's figure.

Yan Qin held the umbrella for Lin Sui, completely disregarding his own body getting wet.

The water surface was shattered by the tread of expensive leather shoes, shakily reflecting heaven, earth, and the mortal realm.

The car door closed, the Maybach's engine started, and it soon disappeared without a trace.

Song Yunqing stood on the second floor, revealing a nearly imperceptible smile. Things were getting far more interesting than he had imagined. As for that bet with Lin Sui, he also had a faint premonition that perhaps he was going to lose, and he had already begun to grow curious about what kind of demand Lin Sui would make.

The Maybach arrived at the garage, and Lin Sui walked straight towards the second floor.

While on the road, Lin Sui had already asked the servants to prepare hot water for him. The fabric, slightly damp because of Yan Qin, still carried a sense of dampness and felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Yan Qin followed Lin Sui closely, following him right up to the bathroom.

When Yan Qin realized what the situation was, he subconsciously wanted to retreat, but before he could even take a step, another bold thought stopped him, rooting his feet to the ground so that he could not move.

A favored doggy and a believer who had received a god's grace shared the same almost arrogant thought of capitalizing on being favored, wanting to gain more space within their master's domain.

Yan Qin thought with a sweet taste on the tip of his tongue, Lin Sui did not deny Yan Zhou's words; he had tacitly agreed.

Whatever instructions came next, he would carry them out joyfully.

"Are you still not going out?"

Lin Sui raised an eyebrow at Yan Qin. Two of his buttons were undone, and under the bathroom lights, the high-quality black shirt further accentuated his fair, jade-like chest.

The light in Yan Qin's eyes dimmed. Facing an order that ran completely contrary to his imagination, he left silently.

The despondency in his departing back could not be hidden in time and was clearly seen by Lin Sui. He did not feel soft-hearted; instead, he curled his lips.

The System asked in some surprise: [Have you changed your nature?]

Lin Sui feigned considerateness and said: [Mother-in-law, I'm being very obedient to you.]

The System crashed on the spot, unwilling to listen to Lin Sui's bullshit.

The smile on Lin Sui's face widened, his eyes and brows filled with delight.

He had no intention of doing anything to Yan Qin right now. The time was still far off, and moreover, he had already found a way to manipulate the System. He had plenty of time to achieve his goals.

The rain, which started in the evening and lasted until midnight, washed over the entire city. The following few days were clear and bright.

Lin Sui picked a time and went out to meet someone.

In a highly private teahouse booth, Gao Jing was sitting somewhat restlessly.

He was an ordinary junior in the Computer Science Department at Jingzhou University. His hometown was in a remote rural village, and he had studied with all his might just to be admitted into this institution of higher learning. Because his family was poor, he studied hard to earn scholarships, just waiting to find a good job after graduation so his family could live a good life. But today, right after finishing his work-study job, he was invited here.

He had never stepped foot into such a high-end, expensive place before. He repeatedly pondered over what he might have done to attract someone's attention or whom he might have offended, but the answer was no one.

Aside from working, he just studied, only interacting mostly with his dorm mates. His club activities had been disbanded, his appearance was ordinary, he had never pursued anyone nor had anyone pursued him, and he had never stumbled upon anyone's secrets. He was completely unable to analyze the reason for his presence here.

The door to the booth opened, and Gao Jing immediately looked over. The youth took off his sunglasses; his outstanding appearance and the aristocratic aura surrounding him made Gao Jing even more bewildered.

"Don't be nervous. Drink some tea."

The person who arrived was none other than Lin Sui. He smiled at the seated young man to soothe his nerves.

"I know you might be a little confused, but I'm not looking for you for a bad thing. I'm sorry to tell you that I've done some investigation on you. It's a bit presumptuous, but it is a necessary condition for me. I need someone to do some things for me... Don't be so nervous, it's nothing illegal or criminal. You can refuse, but please listen to my conditions and what I want you to do first, is that okay?"

From the moment he transmigrated over, Lin Sui had started to work on this matter.

He needed someone to stand at the front stage and do something for him, while he would become the shadow hidden behind it.

This person had to be smart, reliable, steady, and even upright, while also possessing outstanding professional talents. Lin Sui had sifted through candidates for a long time before selecting the person before him.

He looked very ordinary, so ordinary that he wouldn't be recognized if thrown into a crowd, yet he was also very extraordinary.

"I've read some of the papers you published, as well as some of your concepts on the forums. Some of the small software programs you made are very interesting. You're very interested in holographic online games, right?"

Gao Jing stared blankly for a moment, then nodded.

He was very interested in this technology, which currently existed only in concept. Unfortunately, he couldn't persist in exploring it. He needed to work and earn money, and research was an incredibly money-burning endeavor. He didn't know how long he would need to research, or if he might never find that key breakthrough point in his entire life. He couldn't be willful at all, so he withdrew from the club he had founded, buried his dream in his heart, and looked toward reality.

"I can provide the money and the ideas for you to research and implement them. You will receive very generous compensation, but you must produce corresponding progress. I can pay you a sum of money in advance. You can take a look at this document first."

Lin Sui opened the laptop at hand and placed it in front of Gao Jing.

In his original era, Lin Sui had burned an unknown amount of money to push this technology forward. And the technology in this era was actually somewhat more advanced than in his original era. Lin Sui was a businessman; he didn't actually understand computers and biotechnology, but he could remember those reports and important documents that had been handed up to him. He needed talents to help him recreate them.

Gao Jing wasn't excited; instead, he dubiously looked at the material at hand. Gradually, a look of shock appeared on his face. He gripped the mouse tightly, staring so hard he almost pierced through the computer screen.

"The ideas and some of the programs are absolutely fantastic. I think I understand my mistake... Although it's only a portion, this is too incredible... This is a miracle..."

Gao Jing skillfully wrote a new program on the computer, while Lin Sui continued to observe him.

Although human nature was indeed greedy, there would always be people who remained sincere and steadfast for the things they loved.

Gao Jing studied it for over an hour before he barely managed to stop his excitement. He looked at the youth sitting opposite him, took a deep breath, and said, "Sir, I don't know why you sought me out. There are actually many outstanding talents and teams out there."

He completely disregarded the high salary the youth mentioned; his mind was entirely filled with the knowledge he had just learned, and that knowledge only revealed the tip of the iceberg.

"I need to build a kingdom that completely belongs to me, and my existence cannot be known to others. I don't want any trace of me to appear if someone investigates your past. All of this must be done by you."

"I can guarantee that this is not some money-laundering organization. Everything is legal and compliant. Once you notice anything amiss, you can quit at any time."

What Lin Sui needed was complete loyalty, so he would offer the corresponding sincerity.

Gao Jing was not without apprehension. The other party was not old, yet knew his background like the back of his hand, and the things offered were what he dreamed of. He had a premonition that as long as he nodded, his life would undergo earth-shattering changes.

Gao Jing respectfully said to the youth who was younger than him, "How should I address you?"

"Just call me Boss Qin."

Lin Sui smiled and closed the teacup. The lid touched the rim of the cup, producing a soft clink that signaled the dust had settled.

............

Yan Qin had been constantly dreaming these past few days.

The dreams were all about Lin Sui, but not the Lin Sui of the present world.

He wore robes similar to the ancients, his long black hair cascading down to his feet, and his affectionate eyes rippled with emotion.

He appeared in his dreams in various postures, his delicate and warm skin pressing tightly against him, so charming and tender that it aroused affection. With just one glance, he would lose complete control.

Those unspeakable, dirty, and indecent desires found a morbid satisfaction in the dreams, making the cyan butterfly whimper and break down, while the moon-white fluttered and tumbled into waves.

However intoxicating the dreams were, awakening from them was equally unbearable.

His thoughts were like filthy, twisted lines, filling him with self-loathing.

Therefore, he had to avoid Lin Sui's gaze, suppressing his shameful thoughts, terrified of falling into a hallucination and doing something uncontrollable that would cause Lin Sui to abandon him.

Lin Sui noticed that Yan Qin had been a bit strange recently. He was absent-minded in front of him, as if he had done something guilty.

Lin Sui even specifically checked his body for marks after waking up. There was nothing; everything was perfectly normal.

If he had woken up feeling a strange soreness and swelling, he figured he could still understand, but right now, he couldn't comprehend it.

Lin Sui also didn't plan to ask the System. With the System's temperament, if Yan Qin had done something, he wouldn't even need to initiate the question; it would blurt it out first.

After taking a bath, Lin Sui looked at Yan Qin, who had lowered his head to wipe his feet, and pressed the sole of his foot against his cheek.

He used his toes to lift Yan Qin's chin, looking into his eyes.

"What are you thinking about?"

Yan Qin's heart subconsciously tightened, thinking that Lin Sui had seen through his filthy delusions.

How should he answer?

On the ice jade soft couch, in the mid-air warm pavilion, or beside the Blood Pool of Ten Thousand Ghosts?

It was merely his unspeakable, absurd, and bizarre dreams hidden away.

He could only stiffen his expression and say insincerely, "The college entrance exam."

The college entrance exam was fast approaching.

Lin Sui burst into laughter, his shoulders shaking.

Yan Qin rarely saw him look so happy. Lin Sui actually didn't smile much, and when he occasionally did, it carried a bit of hypocrisy and mockery. Even when he encountered something that satisfied him, the upward curve of the corners of his mouth wouldn't be too large.

Yan Qin also didn't know what was so funny to Lin Sui about him thinking about the college entrance exam, but as long as Lin Sui was happy, it was fine.

Lin Sui really laughed until tears were almost coming out. He waved his hand at Yan Qin, signaling that he could leave.

Yan Qin put the bath towel back in the bathroom, while Lin Sui covered himself with the quilt, but a moment later he couldn't help laughing again.

The System asked in confusion and curiosity: [What are you laughing at?]

What on earth is so funny about this?

[That look in his eyes... Every time he looks at me like that, he wants to fuck me.]

Lin Sui showed great kindness in answering the System's question. Combined with Yan Qin's subsequent answer, this was probably something he would find hilarious for a long time to come.

This couldn't help but make him think of his first time with Yan Qin. The Ghost King in the Blood Pool had been incomparably ferocious. Yan Qin had sacrificed all his spiritual energy to behead it, and covered in blood, he held his sword, intending to escort him out.

Yet at that time, he was clearly at the end of his rope, unable to use any more spiritual energy, using his own flesh and blood to fend off the attacks of the little ghosts for him.

Lin Sui had taken decisive action. With his rich theoretical knowledge, amidst Yan Qin's completely flushed face, he had passed spiritual energy into his body.

Amidst the sky full of bloody mist and the wailing of ghosts, Lin Sui was almost fucked to death right there.

System: [There is absolutely no need to recall this to me in such detail, thank you.]

The System went offline in a second.
