Lingxue turned to look at Lin Yi, speechless.

“You’re wearing a motorcycle helmet at home. What’s wrong with you?”

“I, I’m hot!”

“What?” Lingxue asked.

“Pfft!” replied Zhang Xinying.

Lingxue rolled her eyes. “You wear a full-face motorcycle helmet when you’re feeling hot?”

“I…”

Lin Yi tried to scratch his head subconsciously, but his fingers touched the stiff helmet, letting out a crisp sound.

Mu Lingxue quickly stopped Lin Yi who was about to explain.

“Don’t say anything else. You can wear it if you like. I don’t want this helmet anyway.”

At that moment, Zhao Ziming suddenly spoke. “How can all these random people move in here?”

Swish!

Mu Lingxue turned her head, unhappy with Zhao Ziming. “This is my business. It’s not up to an outsider like you to tell me what to do.”

At that moment, Zhang Xinying walked up to Lin Yi.

“Your Name Is Yi Ling?”

“Yes!”

Yi Ling was a fake name that Lin Yi had given her to avoid exposing his identity. It was unknown whether it was intentional when he signed the contract, but Chen Wei didn’t make things difficult for him.

As for Mu Lingxue, she knew nothing about it. Perhaps it was because she had absolute trust in Chen Wei, so she still thought that Yi Ling was Lin Yi’s name.

Lin Yi looked at the figure in front of him through his fogged-up helmet. There were a few times when he wanted to hug her.

But in order to follow the plot of his previous life, Lin Yi had to suppress this emotion.

“We should go.”

Zhao Ziming suddenly came to Zhang Xinying’s side. “Go?”

Mu Lingxue also came to her side. “Xiao Ying, where are you going?”

Zhang Xinying took a deep look at the somewhat familiar figure in front of her. She tucked a lock of black hair behind her ear, and said to the concerned Mu Lingxue, “I’m just going out for a walk.”

Although Zhang Xinying had said that, Mu Lingxue could not help but worry.

“Are you sure you’re okay?”

After pondering about it, Mu Lingxue was still worried. “Why don’t I go with you?”

Zhang Xinying smiled and shook her head. “No need. I’m really fine. I’ll be back in a while.”

“I’ll wait for you outside,” Zhao Ziming said.

“Come with me. I’m fine now.”

Under Mu Lingxue’s worried gaze, Zhang Xinying and Zhao Ziming walked out of the room together.

Zhang Xinying suddenly stopped and looked behind her, her eyes filled with confusion.

Perhaps she had thought of something that the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Zhao Ziming’s eyes turned cold when he saw Zhang Xinying’s gentleness, but he still asked with concern.

“What’s wrong?” he asked.

Zhang Xinying turned around and said softly, “If there’s nothing else, let’s go.”

“Okay.”

Thinking about something, Zhang Xinying didn’t notice the coldness on Zhao Ziming’s face when he turned around.

Not long after Zhang Xinying left, Mu Lingxue looked at Lin Yi, who had taken off his helmet and was about to leave.

“Are you going out?”

“I have something to do.”

Seeing Lin Yi leave in such a hurry, Lingxue couldn’t help but mutter, “Weirdo.”

Beside Lingxue, Chen Wei looked at Lin Yi’s back as he left in a hurry. “Let’s go eat. Xiaoying will be fine.”

“Sister Wei, how do you know she’ll be fine?”

“Do you want her to be not fine?”

“Of course not. No, she’ll definitely be fine!”

“That’s right. Let’s go eat. We’ve been playing all morning.”

Chen Wei suddenly remembered something. “Oh right, you know that Fenghua, right?”

…..

Lin Yi followed the two out of the neighborhood and saw them get into a luxurious car. He quickly stopped a car on the side of the road.

As soon as he got in, a middle-aged man asked, “Where are we going?”

Lin Yi pointed at the black, eye-catching luxury car in front.

“Follow him, I’ll pay three times the fare.”

Hearing this, the driver’s eyes lit up. “It’s not about the money; the main thing is that Big Brother’s business doesn’t get delayed. Sit tight!”

Then, he abruptly stepped on the gas and broke into a pursuit, causing Lin Yi to stumble.

The two cars were shuttling back and forth on the city streets when Zhao Ziming’s driver suddenly asked, “Young master, do you have a tail to shake off?”

In the passenger seat, Zhao Ziming looked at the rearview mirror with a sinister gaze. He then said in an indifferent tone, “No need. I’d like to see what kind of rat is so blind.”

After nearly half an hour, the car finally stopped in front of a luxurious club in the city center.

After getting out of the car, Zhao Ziming looked at the parked taxi not far behind with a hint of mockery. Then, he led Zhang Xinying into the luxurious clubhouse.

“Sir, do you want to continue?”

“No!”

Lin Yi, who was about to pay, suddenly noticed the cap and sunglasses next to the driver.

After hesitating for a moment, he transferred 500 yuan to the driver.

“I’ll take these.”

Under the driver’s surprised gaze, Lin Yi grabbed a mask and got out of the car in a hurry.

As he looked at Lin Yi fading into the distance, the driver couldn’t help but sigh.

“Big client. I should have asked for his Wechat.”

Just as Lin Yi was about to follow him into the clubhouse, he was stopped by a security guard at the door.

“Stop. Do you have an invitation?”

“Invitation?”

Lin Yi was stunned. “Isn’t this the clubhouse? Why do you need an invitation?”

The security guard looked at Lin Yi with disdain. “Kid, look carefully, this is a private clubhouse. You are not allowed to enter without an invitation. Go; leave. Don’t cause trouble here.”

Lin Yi frowned, seeing the security guard looking down on him.

It took him a long time to find his best friend in his previous life, Mu Lingxue, when he heard the news of her death.

Lin Yi learned from Mu Lingxue’s story that:

In his previous life, Zhang Xinying expressed her dissatisfaction with Zhao Ziming after leaving with him today.

Zhang Xinying told him that she didn’t like Zhao Ziming very much, but she couldn’t fight the circumstances.

It wasn’t until the day before she got married that she had to suffer a tragedy to keep her innocence intact.

Everything had started with this departure.

Lin Yi would’ve never allowed Zhang Xinying to take this risk if he hadn’t discovered that he could synchronize his game abilities and attributes.

This was the day Lin Yi had been waiting for, ever since he found out that he had this ability.

What exactly had happened on this day?

Thus, what Lin Yi needed to do now was to make those who had hurt her pay, even if they had merely made her unhappy.

He could sense Zhang Xinying’s aura drifting further and further away.

He stood in front of the clubhouse, ignoring the arrogant words and shoving from the guards. A wave of hostility simmered from the bottom of Lin Yi’s heart.

Lin Yi’s eyes flashed with a fierce light as he bellowed in a deep voice, “Get out of the way!”

“Where did this kid come from? Do you want to die? Get out of here!”

“I think you’re the ones who want to die!”

Just as Lin Yi was about to break in using brute force, an old man in a Chinese tunic suddenly appeared in front of the door. He looked at Lin Yi with a terrified expression.

“Stop!”
