Chapter 449 - Overlord!

Chapter 449: Overlord!

“Get in the car.” Ling Yun stopped the Land Rover next to Miao Xiaomiao.

“Your car looks great…” Miao Xiaomiao sat shotgun, adjusting her sexy figure to a comfortable position.

Ling Yun smiled casually as he stared at Miao Xiaomiao’s soft, beautiful side-profile. “Where are we going?”

Miao Xiaomiao stared ahead, her eyelashes fluttering lightly. Without thinking, she said, “Anywhere…”

“Sha!” A golden light flashed!

A chubby golden silkworm flew into the car, landing lightly on Miao Xiaomiao’s shoulder.

It was about as large as an adult’s thumb with golden wings as thin as a cicada’s and a body that shone a glamorous gold. Its head was shaped in an adorable crown-shape, and it had round eyes that were the size of a grain of rice. Those eyes stared straight at Ling Yun, filled with curiosity and cordiality.

Ling Yun stared at it in amusement. Compared to the last time he saw it, Little Gold’s body was slightly bigger, and its wings were a little larger too. The meat crown on its head looked much more detailed than before as well. The effects of the Xiantian True Qi that Ling Yun had injected was obvious.

Ling Yun extended his finger to Little Gold as he flashed a brilliant smile. “So, it’s you. Come here to your big bro, I’ll give you something good to eat…”

Little Gold extended its wings as it began to chirp. However, its vibrant eyes looked around vigilantly. It was wary against Ling Yun’s offer. Turning its body away quickly, it refused to fly onto Ling Yun’s finger.

Its expression and movement were exactly like a toddler, filled with cuteness.

“If you won’t come, fine. Don’t regret it later…” Ling Yun said this in a carefree manner as he stopped teasing Little Gold. Stepping on the accelerator, his Land Rover sped forward.

Miao Xiaomiao sat in the car quietly. Without her talking first, Ling Yun naturally wouldn’t speak either. After sitting on Miao Xiaomiao’s shoulder for a while, Little Gold seemed to feel a little bored. Spreading its wings, it flew out of the window. In a flash, it rushed to the skies, off to play in the clouds.

Ling Yun drove to the place where he had gotten into an accident first. Alone, he inspected the area for a while before returning to his car and heading to the river.

Ling Yun had inspected the place very carefully. There weren’t any surveillance cameras nearby.

“What are you doing?” Miao Xiaomiao asked, feeling curious.

“Playing around…” Ling Yun replied.

Pursing her luscious lips, Miao Xiaomiao didn’t ask more.

Soon, Ling Yun reached the river where Wang Lei’s body was found. Stopping the car, he got out and began to devise a plan.

Wang Lei was driving his Steyr when he crashed his car. After leaving the scene, he must have visited his client to collect the assassination fee. However, he was killed on the spot, and his corpse was dumped in the river after that.

The other party had done a clean job. After investigating the two locations where the incident happened, all of the clues were dead ends. Other than obtaining the money, there was no other way to find out what happened.

Ling Yun shook his head as he got in the car again. He wasn’t about to dwell on this matter for now. He decided to wait for Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu to report the situation to him again.

Starting up the Land Rover, he reversed the car and headed back to the Qingxi Villa District.

“I’m taking you to meet Miracle Doctor Xue now!” Ling Yun said this matter-of-factly. His voice was light, but it carried a firmness that didn’t allow Miao Xiaomiao to say otherwise.

Miao Xiaomiao’s stunning face revealed a pang of panic as she subconsciously shouted, “I’m not going!”

“You have to meet him someday. After all, he’s your biological grandfather. Are you planning to hide from him forever?” Ling Yun said coldly.

“Y-You… how do you know that he’s my grandfather?” Miao Xiaomiao was shocked. Turning to him quickly, she asked him in surprise.

A brilliant smile flashed on Ling Yun’s face as he casually said, “Obviously, it was a guess. Was I right?”

Ling Yun thought that even if she tried to hide secrets from him, she was too early for it. Just by testing her a little, he would know immediately. In fact, he didn’t even have to test her.

“Your grandfather discovered Little Gold long ago. He knew you were here on Miao Fenghuang’s orders, he just didn’t know that you were his biological granddaughter.

“After suffering in the name of revenge for more than forty years, he did this all for his so-called ‘love’. Don’t you find it pitiful, laughable, and tragic?

“Ning Er’s grandmother has already passed away. Obviously, there isn’t a barrier between them anymore. Do you really want them to continue like this forever?”

Miao Xiaomiao’s delicate figure quivered lightly. Each word Ling Yun spoke hammered straight into the depths of her heart. He hit her where it hurt most.

“That means… y-you already know it all?” Miao Xiaomiao asked in disbelief.

Ling Yun nodded as he said plainly, “That’s right.”

“You… are you really the person who restrained my grandmother’s gu insect?” Miao Xiaomiao asked again.

Ling Yun smiled proudly. “Who else could it be?” His confidence left Miao Xiaomiao slightly stunned.

Ling Yun lifted his wrist to look at the time. He continued, saying, “There’s still a few minutes before class starts, which means Ning Er must be in school by now, and your grandpa is home alone. You’d better meet him first. It shouldn’t be too awkward.”

Miao Xiaomiao couldn’t find her resolve just yet. Furrowing her brow, she bit her lip as she said hesitantly, “But… I’m not ready yet…”

Ling Yun laughed. “Miao Xiaomiao dares to murder people but doesn’t dare meet her biological grandfather?”

Rolling her eyes, she said, “You were the one who murdered them, not me. Anyway, wasn’t it all for you? You’re not strong enough to handle it all, but you’re still stirring up trouble everywhere. I’ve never seen anyone as obnoxious as you!”

Ling Yun flashed a brilliant smile. Without retorting, he casually said, “You don’t have to worry about me. There’s still time. How about you think about what you’re going to say after you meet your grandpa?”

Miao Xiaomiao finally realized he was serious and demanded Ling Yun stop the car, saying that she didn’t want to meet Miracle Doctor Xue.

“Hurry up and stop the car. Otherwise, I’ll jump out!” Miao Xiaomiao said, about to open the car door.

With a glare, Ling Yun said fiercely, “If you don’t want me to tap your acupressure points and then carry you to your grandpa, you’d best sit still…”

Miao Xiaomiao refused to back down. Glaring back at him, she retorted, “Hmph, don’t think that you can bully me because you’re strong now. If you push me any further, I’ll get Little Gold to bite you!”

Ling Yun laughed aloud. “A top-grade golden silkworm might be powerful, but it can’t make a scratch on me right now. Try it if you dare.”

“And don’t forget, I can even restrain your grandma’s gu insect. What can Little Gold’s poison do to me?”

Miao Xiaomiao was a little dejected. Her tense figure collapsed into the seat lifelessly. Her face burning hot, she complained, saying, “You’re a huge bully, an overlord…”

Ling Yun shrugged. “Didn’t you see what happened at the principal’s office yesterday?”

“Since you’re looking for me, all you want to do is settle this matter. We’re done discussing that. Right now, what’s left is to resolve it. If you’re not going to meet him, even a god won’t be able to help you…

“That grandpa has been in turmoil because of the gu insect for forty years. He’s had a rough time. Now, he’s doing better, and I’ve promised to handle this matter for him. So, I need your help.”

Without beating around the bush, Ling Yun told Miao Xiaomiao the truth.

The tension in her heart began to ease, but she sighed heavily and said dejectedly, “You did suppress his illness, and my grandpa is doing better. But, my grandma…”

Ling Yun laughed. “Alright, quit worrying about her. After bullying Grandpa Xue for forty years, she can afford to suffer a little now. It’s a good time to teach her that a curse won’t do everything.”

Miao Xiaomiao’s eyes turned red. “Don’t say that about my grandma. Do you know how much she’s suffered over these forty years?”

Seeing Miao Xiaomiao about to cry, Ling Yun panicked a little as he sighed. “Alright, don’t cry. Otherwise, Little Gold will think that I’m bullying you again and bite me. I won’t be looking great then…”

Miao Xiaomiao’s teary expression turned into a smiling one. With a cheeky look, she glanced at Ling Yun. “Didn’t you say that you weren’t afraid of Little Gold?”

“I’m not really scared, but I don’t like trouble. Who would want to be bitten by one of the most poisonous golden silkworms in the world for fun?”

Listening with interest, the tension in Miao Xiaomiao’s heart eased. She felt that meeting her grandpa wasn’t so difficult anymore. In her heart, she was actually looking forward to meeting him.

This was what it meant to have blood-ties. They weren’t torn apart so easily.

“Ling Yun, you mean…”

Ling Yun smiled plainly. “Didn’t I tell you just now? Let the two oldies let go of everything and reconcile. Then, they can enjoy their lives together after that.”

Miao Xiaomiao stared at Ling Yun for a long time, stunned. Suddenly, she shook her head and said, “You don’t know my grandmother’s temper. After wasting forty years of her youth, do you really think a few words will change her mind so easily?”

Miao Xiaomiao recalled the words that Miao Fenghuang had told her to deliver to Xue Zhengqi.

Ling Yun glanced at Miao Xiaomiao seriously as he suddenly asked, “Have Miao Fenghuang’s feelings ever changed?”

Hearing Ling Yun suddenly call Miao Fenghuang by name, Miao Xiaomiao’s delicate face blushed. Biting her cheek lightly, she said angrily, “If they did, she would have been killed by that illness long ago. How could they!”

Ling Yun laughed cheekily. “Then, there’s no problem. I’m at ease now. Relax, after you meet Miracle Doctor Xue, leave everything else to me!”

After twenty minutes, Ling Yun stopped the Land Rover at the entrance of Miracle Doctor Xue’s mansion. Getting out of the car, he looked up at Little Gold, who was over a hundred meters in the sky. Then, he told Miao Xiaomiao to get out as well.

“It’s not like you’re a bride waiting to get wed. What’re you dilly-dallying for? Get out!”

Miao Xiaomiao’s hands were soaked with sweat from nervousness. Her pretty face was very red, and her chest heaved up and down. She was in internal turmoil.

After all, it was her first time meeting her biological grandfather in her entire life. It was normal to react like this.

“Sigh…”

Releasing a long breath, Miao Xiaomiao grit her teeth and pushed the car door open lightly, getting out.

Ling Yun heaved a sigh of relief as well.

As Miao Xiaomiao got out of the car, Miracle Doctor Xue’s mansion doors opened slowly. His large silhouette appeared at the entrance!

Miracle Doctor Xue’s face was bright red, and the edge of his lips twitched continuously. Once he stepped out, his all-encompassing gaze locked straight onto Miao Xiaomiao!

“You are… Xiaomiao?” Miracle Doctor Xue’s large frame quivered slightly. He was obviously very emotional.

“Grandpa!”

Seeing Xue Zhengqi step out, Miao Xiaomiao didn’t think twice as her mind blanked out. Like an arrow, she rushed straight to Xue Zhengqi.
