Two black-robed figures exchanged a glance and, wary of the coin in Lin Hai's hand as if reaching some unspoken agreement, didn't utter a word. With a forceful push from their legs against the ground, they leapt into the trees and swiftly made their escape.

"Little friend, you really possess both wisdom and bravery. What kind of high-tech device is that in your hand?" the old man asked curiously.

"Oh, this? It's just a coin, I save them for taking the bus or for buying milk tea. The girl who sells the milk tea has a pretty good figure," Lin Hai said, blinking his eyes.

That micro bomb from before was worth over a million US Dollars each, and Lin Hai had only a dozen to his name, usually carrying just one on him disguised as a coin. Now, indeed, he had a handful of coins in his hand solely for bluffing.

As the King of Soldiers, how could Lin Hai not have some trump cards and tricks up his sleeve?

"Ah?" The old man's impressed expression froze.

"Don't believe me? Here, you can have it."

As Lin Hai spoke, he tossed a coin out.

The old man was so scared that he dodged over thirty meters away, waited tens of seconds to see if there was an explosion, and, still half in doubt, carefully picked up the coin and found it was real indeed.

The old man was rendered speechless. Scaring off two superb warriors with a coin? It was truly a foul play that didn't cost a life.

Lin Hai didn't care about the old man's reaction. Now he was somewhat eager to quickly enhance his own strength. Two members from the Ancient Heavenly Path had given him a hard time, and had it not been for the old man's help, Lin Hai would not have been threatening with a bomb but using it to cover his escape.

"May I know the venerable name of the elder?" Lin Hai, having finished his thought, bowed his hands in greeting and asked the old man.

"I have no name; just call me Su Yi," the old man said with a smile.

"Oh, I see." Some people indeed erase their own names. Su Yi—could he be the number one of the Su Family?

"By the way, young friend, I have a granddaughter. Would it be possible for you to be her friend?" the old man suddenly said with a twinkle in his eye.

Lin Hai somehow felt like the old man intended to set him up with his granddaughter.

"Oh, my granddaughter's name is Su Shanshan, nicknamed Little S."

It was either the old man's fast speech or the bomb that made Lin Hai's ears less sharp right now.

In his hearing, "Little S" sounded like "little flirt..."

"What? Little flirt... Good lord, your granddaughter's name is really unique," Lin Hai blurted out.

The old man's face instantly turned blacker than coal, and he twitched his mouth without making a sound.

"Uh, elder, I have to go for an... 'erotic massage'. Let's have a deep chat another day," Lin Hai realized he had misspoken and quickly scurried away.

"Sigh, I just wanted my granddaughter to exchange martial arts knowledge with you..." the old man muttered to himself, shaking his head in disappointment.

Stepping out of the grove, Lin Hai's phone rang.

"Hello? Hubby, do you know about the considerations for raising a puppy?" The call came from Mayor Tao.

"Did you get a dog?" Lin Hai asked curiously.

"Yeah, I got a big Golden Retriever," Tao Xia sounded particularly happy, which could be heard from her voice.

"I'm stunned, you're a woman?!" Lin Hai replied in shock.

"Nonsense, what's wrong with being a woman? It's you, Beast Lin, who turned me from a girl into a woman," Tao Xia replied a bit displeased.

Lin Hai felt a chill down his spine, touching his chin, and murmured into the phone, "Although I've been really busy lately and haven't filled you up, you didn't have to get a big dog, did you?"

"What's that got to do with me getting a big dog?" Tao Xia was puzzled.

"Uh, woman ah, owning a big Golden Retriever dog..." Lin Hai didn't know how to explain.

"Why can't a woman own a big dog?" Tao Xia was even more confused.

"Cough cough, you know, a beautiful young woman owning a big dog... you understand," Lin Hai tried to maintain a serious tone.

"I don't understand!" Tao Xia replied naively.

"Uh... if you don't understand, you can ask Baidu online, you'll get it," Lin Hai couldn't help but chuckle mischievously.

"Oh, why do I get the feeling that you sound naughty?" asked Tao Xia.

"Nope, gotta hang up."

Feeling like a thief with a guilty conscience, Lin Hai hung up the call.

On the other end, in her office, Tao Xia swiveled her hips, walked over to her computer, plopped down on the plush chair, opened Internet Explorer, navigated to the Baidu website, and typed "women who own big dogs" into the search bar.

The page quickly loaded, presenting rows of search results on the screen.

Tao Xia, curious, earnestly stared at the screen's contents.

Then, her curious, pretty face gradually darkened and became frosty; her alluring red lips and white teeth gnashed angrily.

"No wonder I thought his tone was naughty!"

Tao Xia immediately pulled out her phone and called Lin Hai.

Once, he didn't pick up.

Twice, he didn't pick up.

After more than ten times, still no pickup.

Lin Hai, strolling along the road, had purposely set his phone to vibrate and was now feeling his leg almost going numb from it.

Shortly, a text message arrived. When he opened it, indeed, it was from Beauty Tao.

The content of the message: "Beast Lin, you're doomed. You just wait, don't let me catch you!!!!"

The several emphatic exclamation points represented Beauty Tao's current mood.

Lin Hai quickly replied to the text: "Sis, it's not my fault, okay? Every time I hear about a woman with a big dog, I just can't help but let my thoughts wander."

"You dare to talk nonsense? Dare to pick up my call?"

"I don't dare." Lin Hai replied without any shame.

"Hmph, men are all the same, mannered in the upper half, but their true nature lies in the lower half!" Tao Xia texted angrily back, her bosom heaving with irritation at her desk.

"Really? Women, eh, the upper half is temptation, the lower half... is a trap, hehe," Lin Hai texted in response.

Upon reading this message, Tao Xia nearly exploded with rage, furiously texting back: "Just you wait, you dare to say a woman's lower half is a trap, I'll make sure you never recover."

Lin Hai chuckled, "Forever doomed? I'm really looking forward to it."

Just as he entered the mansion, with a wretched smile hanging on his lips, Lin Hai almost drooled. The next second, however, he felt something was off at home.

Click—

The cold barrel of a gun pressed against the back of Lin Hai's head from behind, and a chilling voice sounded: "Don't move, or I'll shoot you dead."

Lin Hai sneered inside, a gun? To shoot him dead?

Just as he was mobilizing his Gang Qi, ready to strike, the door to Ruoshuang's boudoir opened. Two men in black suits and sunglasses, exuding murderous intent, appeared with their guns pointed at Ruoshuang's adorable little head.
