Villain: Starting as a Corrupt Tycoon's Wife

Page 24

His goals are not limited to this mere city. In the future, those high-level martial artists will not be easy to deal with. Judging from his villainous nature, it is not impossible for him to become an evil holy son who wreaks havoc on the sect. At that time, female protagonists such as sect holy maidens, genius junior sisters, proud senior sisters, and abstinent masters will all come to him.

Therefore, to win the hearts of all these female protagonists, one must have an indestructible kidney!

Ling Yun sat in his seat, contemplating his future plans, while Ling Lan licked him like a kitten—the contrast was striking.

"Master~ I want more..."

"We'll talk about it when I get back tonight. It's getting late. I'll take a shower and get ready for the dinner party."

"Good host."

While taking a shower, Ling Yun also studied Ling Lan's body quite a bit, even making her spread her legs to take a closer look at the internal structure, wondering why it was so different from the school beauty and the assistant.

Curious, he reached inside and felt it, and found that it was indeed different. Her inside was like a living thing, and she could freely control the size and operation of the cavity. Even if the two of them just stayed connected and didn't move, they could quickly produce milk.

When Ling Lan drove to the building where the banquet was being held, there were already many luxury cars parked there.

Lingyun's supercar, worth 0.3 small goals, can only be considered above average among these cars, but its appearance is definitely the coolest.

Rich people are afraid of death. Their cars are often understated, but they have undergone various modifications, all of them bulletproof and explosion-proof, just in case they are taken away by a group of desperados one day.

Ling Lan did not change into an evening gown, but stood next to Ling Yun in a black outfit, making it clear from a distance that she was his bodyguard.

The other guests at the banquet also cast curious glances at Ling Yun and Ling Lan, with many suspecting that this was Ling Yun's unique interest.

After he appeared, Ling Shuang and Xiang Yao also came over together.

"You're quite punctual."

Ling Shuang glanced at her phone and saw that Ling Yun had arrived right on time.

Ling Yun didn't speak, but instead extended his arm.

Ling Shuang glanced at Ling Lan a few more times, then took Ling Yun's arm and walked inside with him.

Xiang Yao naturally went with Ling Lan. Madam Xiang glanced at the maid's bust size, secretly compared it with her own, and then entered the venue with her head held high.

Hmph, I'm still better than her. Besides, she either added something artificially or padded it, otherwise it wouldn't be so firm!

Ling Yun had met some of the people there before at the manor, and they all nodded to each other amicably after meeting.

These people were nothing special; Ling Yun's gaze was more drawn to the unfamiliar faces he had never seen before.

The banquet hall was large, and people kept coming over to greet him, but he didn't notice anyone particularly noteworthy in the short time. Ling Shuang had a good attitude; these things couldn't be rushed. She believed that given Ling Yun time, the young man would definitely discover something.

Whenever someone comes to ask about the relationship between Ling Yun and Ling Shuang, the latter always generously tells them that he is her fiancé.

The two have not yet established a relationship, but in this setting, the female CEO still gave the man beside her plenty of face.

Many were surprised that Ling Shuang had quietly acquired a fiancé, while those who knew Ling Yun's identity had other thoughts. This kind of occasion was perfect for Xiang Yao; she chatted and laughed with the wealthy ladies and big bosses, making Ling Yun realize that she wasn't entirely useless.

Not far from them, Tao Yuting sat on a chair, drinking a beverage, looking bored.

She didn't want to come tonight, but her father was very firm in his stance, even saying that if she didn't come, she would lose her job at Yunhai University, so she had no choice but to compromise.

She still enjoys teaching, especially being with a group of students who are not much younger than her, which makes her feel much better.

Fortunately, not many people wandered around her area, which made Tao Yuting happy to have some peace and quiet.

Suddenly, she saw a familiar face.

Lingyun?

That makes sense. He's the chairman of Xinghe Group, so it's perfectly normal for him to attend this banquet.

However, the woman beside him was not Bai Xin, but Ling Shuang?

Tao Yuting instinctively felt that the relationship between Ling Yun and Ling Shuang was not so simple.

Several people passed by her, and Tao Yuting overheard their conversation.

"fiancé?"

She felt somewhat dissatisfied. Even though polygamy was legal in China, there was still a huge difference between the eldest and youngest wives.

Given Bai Xin's personality, if she becomes Ling Yun's concubine in the future, wouldn't she be bullied to death by a strong woman like Ling Shuang?

However, it's best to discuss these things privately; there's no need to make a fool of yourself in a public place. She suppressed her emotions and poured herself another glass.

Chapter 39 Spring Water Jade Pot

More than half an hour later, the number of people in the banquet hall had reached its peak.

Ling Yun once again marveled at how many wealthy people there were in the capital, his Insightful Eye rapidly searching for important targets in the crowd.

While Ling Shuang was handing him a glass of red wine, Ling Yun spotted his prey.

Name: Gao Qiang

[Realm]: Late Stage of Meridian Opening

[Special]: Death Rewind (Purple)

[Identity]: Male protagonist of "Legend of the Black Dragon"

[Destiny]: The uncrowned king of the capital's underworld, known in the underworld as Black Dragon. Relying on the ability to rewind time after death, he once wielded two watermelon knives, hacking his way from Kucha Hutong to Ximen Street. Later, he founded the Dingsheng Group and led his men to successfully launder money. After seeing Xiang Yao, he was amazed by her beauty. Coupled with the Gu family's instigation, he sent his men to poison Ling Leishan, working together to gradually take over the Xinghe Group.

[Recent Opportunity]: Received guidance from a master and entered the realm of profound understanding.

[Luck]: 3000/3000

Death rollback: After an unnatural death, you will respawn ten hours earlier and cannot be triggered manually.

Ling Yun never expected that the person who told Ling Leishan's fortune back then would be so accurate!

[He will surely prosper after marriage, but will die because of a woman.]

Ling Yun was also puzzled. Did Xiang Yao have such great charm?

He glanced at Xiang Yao and gave his reply a few seconds later.

Really big.

With her alluring body, mature womanly charm, and stunning looks and figure that could rival any female celebrity, she could easily turn countless men into devoted admirers with just a flick of her wrist. It's not entirely incomprehensible that a former underworld king would go so far as to poison and kill for her.

However, Ling Leishan's death was due to a combination of factors, including the presence of a beautiful woman as a source of trouble, as well as vendettas and conflicts of interest.

Gao Qiang's relationship with his wife seems to be strained; there was no physical contact or eye contact between them.

Given the latter's conditions, he and Xiang Yao are evenly matched. A normal man would cherish her. Could it be that Heilong is not good enough?

A moment later, the beautiful woman with long purple hair walked towards Ling Yun.

Beneath the dome of the banquet hall, she moved through the crowd like a violet transplanted into a bustling greenhouse, exuding a serene aura.

Her long hair was all gathered on top of her head, styled into an extremely intricate bun, each strand perfectly aligned. The hair color was an incredibly rich, dark purple, not a frivolous bright hue, but rather like a deep, dark ink saturated with the deep purple juice of ripe grapes. A few wispy strands of hair broke free of their restraints, lazily cascading down her neck, further accentuating the snow-white skin beneath.

She wore a long-sleeved, floor-length evening gown, its style extremely conservative. The velvet fabric was thick and smooth, tightly wrapping her neck, arms, and ankles. Yet, this tight covering became a silent tribute to her voluptuous curves. Her classic pear-shaped figure was outlined with breathtaking undulations. The rounded lines of her shoulders and arms flowed smoothly downwards, forming a stunning indentation at her waist, which then suddenly surged forth into a full, rounded waist and hip curve, like the finest creation in the world.

Name: Fang Muqing

【Age】：35

[Value]: 169, F

[Favorability]: 89 (Admiration)

[Combat Power]: 7

[Special]: Spring Water Jade Pot (Purple)

[Identity]: Female lead in "Legend of the Black Dragon"

Spring Water Jade Pot: A dual cultivation furnace body, a winding path leading to a secluded spot, its beauty beyond words.

The moment Lingyun saw the "F", he knew he had made the right choice to come tonight.

Another female protagonist with dual cultivation abilities; it would be a waste to let her go.

The young man was confident but not arrogant. A married woman had an 89% positive impression of him, but she probably had something else on her mind besides him.

"Chairman Ling, it's been a long time."

haven't seen you for a long time?

Ling Yun clinked glasses with her and asked in confusion, "This beautiful lady, have we met before?"

The woman took a sip of red wine, covered her mouth and smiled, and Ling Yun did get a glimpse of her captivating charm.

Ling Shuang tightened her grip on his arm, feeling a strange hostility towards Fang Muqing.

“Yunhai University is owned by our Fang family. I saw you at the school before, but Chairman Ling had just transferred there and didn’t notice me.”

"What a coincidence?"

Ling Yun also gave a polite smile: "May I ask your honorable name, Madam?"

"Fang Muqing".

"Oh, so you're Mrs. Gao."

"I don't really like this form of address. If it's convenient for you, Mr. Ling, you can just call me by my name."

"Okay, Sister Fang."

It seems my guess was right; the two are more like partners, essentially a community of shared interests rather than lovers.

Such marriages are common in the business circles of the capital. One person's power is ultimately limited. There are only permanent interests, not permanent friends. If it comes to the distribution of benefits, even two families with the best relationship may break up.

Ling Yun and Fang Muqing chatted happily, the woman's beautiful purple eyes constantly scrutinizing him, as if she was very interested.

After she left, Ling Shuang's tone was somewhat resentful.

"I advise you to avoid provoking that woman."

"what happened?"

"She was known as the Black Widow more than a decade ago. Don't be fooled by her elegant and noble appearance; she's actually a ruthless person. If it weren't for the fact that the Fang family patriarch had good connections with the higher-ups, she would have been eliminated long ago."

"Are you afraid she'll eat me up?"

"I'm just giving you a piece of advice, but I've never seen her so interested in other men before. I don't know whether to say you're lucky or unlucky."

Are you familiar with Gao Qiang?

Ling Shuang shook her head slightly: "We're not familiar with them. My family doesn't have much contact with people like that."

"Uncle Xu told me that the Gu family was behind your father's affairs."

The icy female CEO gripped the wine glass tightly, so tightly that her fingertips turned white, before finally letting go slumped away: "Is it because of me?"

Ling Yun sighed. Old Ling was really unlucky. If he hadn't gotten married, according to the fortune teller, he might not have become extremely wealthy, but he would have lived a comfortable life. Unlike now, after working hard for most of his life, all his wealth had gone to someone else.

Because his daughter offended the Gu family, and because his wife was resented by Gao Qiang, coupled with the vast business empire, he ultimately met his demise at the manor.

The saying "beautiful women bring disaster" is not just a saying; similar things have happened many times in history.

But those are mostly just preludes. In a man's eyes, power always comes first, while beauty and wealth are often just byproducts.

Ling Yun's voice was low: "It's more about Xinghe Group. Without the old man as the backbone, and with no one else in the group to take charge, it will be devoured by these hyenas."

"Unfortunately, now that I've arrived, they're likely to come up empty-handed."

Ling Shuang's starry eyes flickered: "You just mentioned Gao Qiang, could it be that they were also involved in this matter?"

"Clever." Ling Yun took a sip of red wine, then spat it all out. "It tastes awful..."

Ling Shuang was both annoyed and amused. They were having a nice chat, and the young man started being picky about his wine. Didn't he know that this wine was so hard to find?

"Your father's death is inextricably linked to Gao Qiang. Although I can't produce any evidence right now, you can trust me to be right."

"I trust you, so what should we do next?"

"You continue to be a good president and manage the company well. Leave these things to me."

"Thanks……"

"No need to thank me, after all, you are my fiancée."

The two looked at each other and then laughed.

Ling Yun asked Xu Xuan to help organize Gao Qiang's past. After some social niceties, Xu Xuan indeed delivered the fresh documents.

Looking at Gao Qiang's life story, Ling Yun felt that it was familiar.

Why does it look so much like that anti-gangster TV series from my past life?
