By the time Lin Wanli returned to Yujing Peak, Yan Qiu had already completed her mission and returned home successfully.

“President Lin, the driver has been lying about being on the phone all the time and accidentally tailgated, so we may not be able to get the answer we want.” Yan Qiu said as she followed Lin Wanli.

“I never wanted to get anything out of him. I just wanted to scare my father so that he would become wary.” Lin Wanli smiled and replied, “The real show is yet to come.”

Sure enough, just as Lin Wanli had expected, Father Lin immediately locked himself in his room after he got home. He called a particular entertainment reporter and told him to hold onto the thing he had with him tightly and not expose it.

“No, isn’t it a pity not to expose it? I’ve even thought of the title. It’ll definitely cause a huge uproar in Jinchuan. By then, it’ll be difficult for Lin Wanli to make a comeback. Why are you backing down at this juncture?” The other party was a little unwilling to accept that. As a reporter, he didn’t just value money. He also valued influence. If the scandal of Lin Wanli spread, he would no longer be an unknown entertainment reporter. That was far more tempting than money.

“In short, I won’t let it be exposed. Otherwise, you won’t get a single cent!” After threatening, Father Lin hung up the phone in a hurry, afraid his wife would suddenly barge in and hear secrets she shouldn’t hear.

The young and impetuous entertainment reporter spat out a series of vulgarities after the call was hung up.

“What nonsense is this? No wonder he’s a live-in son-in-law, wagging his tail and begging for charity from women for his entire life.”

However, he still had to swallow his anger until a mysterious man came knocking on his door.

The other party was wearing sunglasses, a suit, and a tie. He looked very mysterious.

Moreover, though he was a paparazzi, the other party could easily find his address and even know he was holding onto something.

“I’ll pay three times the price for you to expose Lin Wanli’s scandal.”

After the paparazzi heard that, he became interested. He asked with a smile, “You also have a grudge against Lin Wanli? Also, sir, if I offend that son-in-law of the Lin Family, can you help me settle it?”

“Qin Huaijing is strong on the outside but weak on the inside. He has nothing. What do you think he can do to you?” The man asked.

The paparazzi laughed wantonly and slapped the table, “Awesome, what do you call this? The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind? However, I like what you’re saying. Why does he have to make the decision? Three times the price, I agree. I’ve even thought of the title. I’ll treat you to a good show tonight.”

“I’ll wait for you. The golden hour, eight o’clock, is the latest.”

The paparazzi would never have thought that Lin Wanli would choose to self-expose.

He thought that that good-for-nothing girl had offended a whole bunch of people who were waiting to teach her a lesson. But in reality…He was one of the people to be dealt with.

See you at eight o’clock tonight.

On the other side, Song Huaishu followed Huo Jiuxiao’s instructions and drove the luxury car back to Yujing Peak. However, he never expected Lin Wanli to bring the little girl to the courtyard to watch the sunset. The little girl had just learned how to walk. When she saw her Father’s car, she immediately ran over.

Of course, it wasn’t because she wanted to see her Father, but purely because she was curious about the car.

[Oh no!]

Song Huaishu turned his head to look at Huo Jiuxiao, whose eyes were closed. A creepy feeling filled his heart.

“So, who gave you the guts to guess my thoughts?” Huo Jiuxiao slowly opened his eyes and asked Song Huaishu.

“Master Xiao, Little Miss is knocking on my car door.” Song Huaishu hurriedly

used the little fellow to be his shield.

[Besides, do you want to run away for the rest of your life?]

Huo Jiuxiao took a deep breath and gave Song Huaishu a warning look. He then pushed open the car door and went to the front of the car to pick up Little Youran.

The little fellow was suddenly picked up and screamed excitedly.

Not far away, Lin Wanli stood on the steps and looked at Huo Jiuxiao. At that moment, Huo Jiuxiao also heard Lin Wanli’s thoughts.

[I don’t think he came back voluntarily. However, I’m lucky to be able to see him today.]

Then, she approached Huo Jiuxiao and said, “Give Youran to me. I know you still have things to do.”

“Don’t always think you’re smart.’

Lin Wanli was not angry. She took Youran from his hands and asked, “Do you remember what I said two days ago? Don’t use words to hurt people.”

Huo Jiuxiao glanced at her, turned around, and walked up the stairs, “I also warned you that I don’t have a heart. I won’t be responsible for hurting people..”
