Chapter 17
Lin Bai looked up at the sky.
He was so helpless!
He was trembling with anger.
‘When will my parents become more mature?
‘I’ve been carrying the difficult burden for this family!’
Unfortunately…
The tears did not flow down so easily …
He heard soft voices coming from the front again…
“Honey, let’s go for a candlelight dinner later. It’s tiring to move so many things, so we should reward ourselves.”
“What about our son? Are we not going to wait for him to come back?”
“Why do you care about our son? Let’s go have some alone time. We’ll just bring dinner back tonight.”
“…That’s not very good, right? What if he asks?”
“It’s fine. Just say that our wallets were stolen. Wouldn’t that be the right way to live under the bridge?”
“Mm… Maybe it can even stimulate his desire to improve. I think it’s possible.”
“Right?”
Mr. Lin was exceptionally happy to receive the recognition.
“…”
Lin Bai did not feel good.
They teamed up to trick their own son!
This was too much!
He walked over slowly feeling melancholic, hesitant, and resentful at the same time.
“Dad…”
“Oh!”
Lin Bai’s dad turned around and saw him. He patted his chest guiltily and said loudly, “Son, you scared me to death!”
Lin Bai sighed softly. “If the two of you act like this, it makes me doubt if I’m your son.”
“I…”
One of the most embarrassing things was to be caught doing bad things behind someone’s back.
Mr. Lin was exposed and did not dare to say anything. He quickly gave his wife a look.
Mrs. Lin immediately understood and went up to Lin Bai with a smile. “How could that be, baby? Come, I’ll give you a kiss~”
“Don’t!”
Lin Bai quickly rejected, “I’m already so old. It’s not appropriate!”
“No matter how old you are, you’re still my precious son~” Mrs. Lin still wanted to insist and moved closer.
In the end, Lin Bai hurriedly blocked it with a contract.
“Hm? What are you holding?”
Mrs. Lin felt a little strange. She took a closer look and saw that it was a house purchase contract!
She was shocked.
“Baby, where did you steal this from?”
“…”
Xu Kun was helpless and helped to explain, ” Auntie, this is Big Bai’s house. He just bought it with a school scholarship.
“Huh?” Mrs. Lin could not react for a moment.
Lin Bai’s father excitedly went up and hugged Lin Bai, asking, “Son, did you become a martial artist?”
“That’s not it…”
Lin Bai answered honestly.
His strength was definitely at the level of a martial artist at the moment, but his realm… There was still a long way to go.
“How did you get the scholarship then?”
Mr. Lin was stunned for a moment. He pondered and said, “If I’m not mistaken, the most basic requirement to apply for a scholarship from the five academies is to reach the realm of a martial artist, right?”
“A martial artist? Big Bai’s a ferocious beast. He blew up the testing equipment with 3 punches,” Xu Kun said with a smile, “He scared the whole school.”
“Huh?”
Mr. Lin’s eyes widened. “You won’t have to compensate the school, right?”
Xu Kun was speechless.
Lin Bai was speechless.
The two of them fell silent.
It was Mrs. Lin who slapped Mr. Lin and scolded, “Stupid, He has already gotten the scholarship. Why would he need to compensate the school?”
“Oh, oh… That’s true…”
Mr. Lin came back to his senses, scratched his head, and asked, “Destroyed the equipment… What does that mean?”
“I guess… Um…”
Xu Kun couldn’t explain it. “In any case, he’s very powerful. Uncle, Big Bai’s future will be limitless!”
“Stronger than a martial artist in stage 1, right?” Mr. Lin asked with uncertainty.
Lin Bai chuckled and nodded. “Yeah.”
“Hahahaha, I knew it!”
Mr. Lin laughed hysterically and spun Lin Bai around excitedly. He then looked at his wife. “I told you that buying the lively Vim and Vigor Pill was absolutely right! Did you see that? Our son is promising! Hahahaha!”
Lin Bai’s lips twitched, but he still did not mention the fake medicine.
Who knew, Mrs. Lin suddenly became serious. “Then… Baby, did you waste the scholarship? Other than buying a house, did you use it on a female classmate? Tell me!”
“Yeah!” Mr. Lin’s expression also changed, and he became serious in an instant. “Son, you came back so late. Did Xu Kun take you to find a prostitute?”
“…”
Lin Bai felt that his parents were the most unpredictable and fickle people in the world.
There was no other!
‘Oh, wait, they’re two people, to begin with…’
…
After dinner, Lin Bai and Xu Kun were lying side by side on the big bed in the new house.
Looking at the starry sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window and the quiet and luxuriant forest under the moonlight, they touched their bellies and burped together in this beautiful scenery.
In order to get rid of the nagging and to prove his innocence, Lin Bai gave the rest of the scholarship to his parents for safekeeping.
He could tell that his parents were very happy with the trust they had in him.
They made a sumptuous dinner that night.
Although it was booked from a hotel and then warmed up.
However, it was obvious.
The smiles on Lin Bai’s parents’ faces became more genuine.
They were no longer finding joy in the midst of suffering and forcing a smile.
Xu Kun yawned.
“This bed is so comfortable. I don’t feel like walking anymore.”
“Why don’t you take a nap?”
Lin Bai looked at the starry sky, thinking about something else.
“Forget it.” Xu Kun forced himself to stand up. “I have to take the mock exam tomorrow. I have to go back and prepare.”
Lin Bai was surprised. “Do you prepare before exams too? ”
“Pfft! I’m going to make preparations before the war!”
Xu Kun was in high spirits. “I have to be more handsome. Even if I can’t get good grades, I have to leave a good impression on the senior and junior sisters!”
“…”
Lin Bai admitted defeat.
He had lost completely.
After Xu Kun left, Lin Bai’s eyes focused.
He looked at the night view outside the window and took a deep breath.
“Fake medicine…”
This matter had to be dealt with.
Now that his parents had money, what if he was cheated again?
In order to prevent such a situation from happening, Lin Bai took advantage of the night to go out and went to the neighborhood where his old house was located. He began to ask the neighbors for information.
He was going to use this opportunity to figure out the fake drug dealer’s identity.
This process was a bit time-consuming.
However, his hard work paid off. After going around for more than 2 hours, he did catch some useful content.
Some of the neighbors had also been deceived.
They had even reported the case back then.
Despite that, because the other party had considerable power and was a martial artist, he did not receive any substantial punishment.
The victims were all ordinary people. How could they go against people who practiced martial arts?
The matter could only be left unsettled.
Lin Bai investigated further.
He finally understood.
It turned out that he was not fighting against an individual.
It was an organization that opened a martial arts dojo!
The name was quite crazy. It was something like “Come if You Dare”.
This martial arts dojo had almost no restrictions on its disciples.
They were especially unrestrictive.
They only valued strength and ignored all social morality.
Stealing, robbing, swindling… As long as it could improve one’s strength, they would do anything.
Selling fake medicine could be done openly and did not need to be done secretly.
At most, the disciples in the boxing gym would pretend to buy goods at the stall, as if the business was hot, to deceive the unfamiliar customers.
“The strongest local martial arts dojo?”
Lin Bai clenched his fists.
Even so, he still had to fight it out with the other party!
Nevertheless, he was not the kind of person who would act on impulse.
Lin Bai knew that his strength was nothing in front of a true expert, so he had to continue to settle down.
Upgrade!
He had to be stronger!
Lin Bai thought of the letter the principal had given him and immediately changed direction. He stopped investigating and walked home.
