Chapter 575 - 575 An Unknown Secret
575 An Unknown Secret
After leaving the hospital, Lin Yi and Liang Ruoxu returned home.
“Aren’t you going to comfort your real girlfriend?” Liang Ruoxu asked.
“Now is not the time to comfort her. We’ll talk about it tomorrow.”
Liang Ruoxu did not say anything else. She felt that there must be other tricks up his sleeve.
Which woman would be able to tolerate such a man?
“You were the one who refused to go, not me. Don’t blame me if anything happens,” Liang Ruoxu said.
“I don’t want others to say that I seduced a married woman. I can’t afford to lose face.”
“Even if something happens, I have a way of resolving it. What are you afraid of?”
Liang Ruoxu harrumphed.
“I don’t care about anything else, but you said that you’d cook tonight earlier.”
“Because of the silk banner you gave me, I’ll reward you well tonight. I guarantee that you’ll feel satisfied.”
“I don’t expect it to be delicious, just don’t send me to the hospital.”
“I’m afraid you’ll lick the plate.”
“I’ve already eaten at state banquets plenty of times. How could I do such a detestable thing?”
“A state banquet is a state banquet. The taste is different. I’ll give you something exciting to try today.”
“What could be so exciting?”
“Stewed shrimp with winter melon. It’ll nourish your whole body.”
“Stewed shrimp with winter melon?” Liang Ruoxu rolled her eyes. “Way to blow things out of proportion.”
The two of them chatted all the way home.
Liang Ruozhen was puzzled. Even if he had thought of a solution, wasn’t he worried at all?
When they arrived at Liang Ruoxu’s house, they changed into slippers and entered the house.
Liang Ruoxu was very considerate. Before changing into her pajamas, she found Lin Yi a set.
“You bought this?”
“I don’t want you to always sleep naked and dirty the sheets in my house.”
“Hehehe… whatever you say.”
“Don’t try to take advantage of me. You’re cooking tonight.”
“Piece of cake.”
Lin Yi didn’t waste his breath. Liang Ruoxu had helped him complete the mission. No matter what, he should make a meal to reward her.
About an hour later, four dishes and a soup were served.
Squirrel mandarin fish, spicy beef, cold shredded chicken, pan-fried tofu, and a crucian tofu stew.
Liang Ruoxu was dumbfounded when he saw the five dishes.
“You… you really know how to cook?”
“What else did you think I was preparing?”
“Let me taste it first.” Liang Ruoxu picked up a piece of spicy beef. Although it was a little spicy, there was a faint sweetness to it. It covered the spicy taste very well and made the taste richer.
He was already at the level of a professional chef.
Liang Ruoxu held the chopsticks in her mouth and stared at him with her almond-shaped eyes. “This is delicious.”
“The other dishes are not bad either. Try them all.”
Liang Ruoxu tasted all four dishes and the soup, then looked at Lin Yi with an unbelieving expression.
“Why are you so good at cooking?”
“My mother said that if you want to capture a woman’s heart, you have to first capture her stomach.”
“You’ve come to my house so many times before, but you always asked me to do it.”
“That’s because I was lazy.”
Liang Ruoxu, “…”
Ring ring ring…
Lin Yi’s phone rang.
It was He Yuanyuan.
“Boss, Cisco called me and said that he wants to discuss the specific compensation plan. I’ve studied it with Brother Qi. Zhao Mo and the others might have given up resisting.”
“They’re smart enough to stop the bleeding in time. They’d have lost more if it had dragged on longer.”
“So how do we handle this? Do you have any new instructions?”
“You and Old Qi should just deal with it step by step. Return the funds as soon as possible. We still owe the bank a large sum of money.”
“Got it.”
After a simple exchange, Lin Yi hung up.
“Has Zhao Mo admitted defeat?” Liang Ruoxu asked while eating.
“More or less. This battle and the penalty fee from Cisco combined means we will earn about 150 billion. It’s a good amount.”
Hearing the figure of 150 billion, Liang Ruoxu was in awe.
150 billion was a figure that 99.9% of the people in Huaxia could only dream of.
On the other hand, Lin Yi had used a few months to earn this money.
Even those who graduated from famous schools might not have such business acumen.
After eating and drinking her fill, Liang Ruoxu went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Lin Yi lay on the sofa and opened the system page.
Ring ring ring…
At this moment, Liang Ruoxu’s phone rang. Lin Yi picked it up and saw that it was a call from Zhao Mo, so he picked it up.
“Little Mi, I want to talk to you about Lingyun Group. Do you have time now?” Zhao Mo said.
“Um, she’s in the shower. She might not have time. Call her tomorrow.”
“Shower?”
Hearing a man’s voice on the phone, Zhao Mo’s voice was cold.
“Who are you? Why are you holding Little Mi’s phone?!”
“Seriously? You forgot my voice so quickly? Your memory is terrible.”
“You’re Lin Yi!”
“You finally recognized my voice.” Lin Yi smiled.
“If you want to talk to her about our Lingyun Group, I’m afraid you can’t do it today. After she showers, we still have to do something else. Call her tomorrow… Beep, beep, beep…”
Halfway through his sentence, Zhao Mo hung up to prevent himself from being angered to death.
“Someone called me?” Liang Ruoxu’s voice came from the bathroom.
“It was Zhao Mo. I picked it up for you.”
“Are you trying to anger Zhao Mo to death?”
Liang Ruoxu was well aware that Zhao Mo was pursuing her.
Now that Lin Yi had picked up the call, even a fool could guess what was going on.
However, Liang Ruoxu did not say anything. She reckoned that Zhao Mo would not come looking for her anymore in the future. This was a good thing.
Liang Ruoxu didn’t say anything, and Lin Yi continued with his work.
He opened the system page and saw a bottle of Level E combat strength potion in his inventory.
Lin Yi had long been tempted by this thing and clicked on it without hesitation.
The icon of the potion gradually faded. At the same time, Lin Yi felt the changes within his body.
This change was very different from what he had experienced before. It was like a mix of a physical and chemical reaction.
This bottle of Level E combat strength potion seemed to have fundamentally changed his bodily functions. It was not a simple case of strengthening him physically.
The absorption process lasted a few minutes.
Lin Yi could clearly feel a faint airflow in his lower abdomen, just like a second heart.
The changes and feelings it brought were indescribable.
In terms of strength alone, the system was not lying. It had not been exaggerating.
At this level, he was already beyond the scope of ordinary people’s understanding.
In the world of ordinary people, no one should be his match.
Whoosh!
Lin Yi took a deep breath. The system’s reward for him this time was the most special one.
To a certain extent, this reward had already exceeded his understanding of the world.
It turned out that there was a clear scaling for combat power on Earth. This could be considered as having opened the door to a whole new world for him.
However, at the same time, Lin Yi had a premonition.
There might be more unknown secrets in this world.
Just like his own system.
Where did this thing come from?
