A Professional Avenger

le, in the car, Shen Junyu continued to list his instructions to his assistant.
Telling Li Yi to take care of the aftermath, deleting all kinds of surveillance cameras capturing Lin Yuetian’s presence today, etc, without even blinking or caring that the person they’re talking about was sitting beside him.

Lin Yuetian was not surprised.
From the Original memories, he knew that every time the Original body escaped and was captured back, Shen Junyu dealt with and covered the matter with similar routines.
This was the reason why the original body’s struggles and suffering were completely hidden.

Speaking of which, this kind of overbearing measure was also the reason why Lin Yuetian chose to find Shen Junyu openly.

It was nothing more than taking advantage of Shen Junyu’s resources and power.

After all, Lin Yuetian’s current ability was not enough to do anything unscrupulously.
However Shen Junyu, someone who was said to be able to cover the sky with one hand[2]in City A, it was a trivial matter.
Perhaps, never in Shen Junyu’s wildest dream did he ever imagine his proudest resource and power actually became the ticket to ensure his silent doom.

This was Yuetian’s strategy to deal with a ridiculously powerful Domineering CEO.

To put it in other words perhaps this situation was called, Use one’s position to its utmost advantage?[3]

The System couldn’t stop himself from commenting, [“Tell me the truth, there must be something wrong with your language education in that Cyberpunk World of yours, right?”] The System continued amiably, [“Just admit honestly, I promise I won’t laugh at you.”]

Lin Yuetian decided to ignore the System.
He firmly believed that his own choice of words was correct, there was nothing wrong with them.

During the car ride, Li Yi looked extremely upset.

As for the reason, Lin Yuetian knew it clearly.
Previously, Li Yi had admitted it himself to the Original body.
Actually, Li Yi also liked Bai Li, but he chose to wish for Bai Li and Shen Junyu to eventually marry and be happy together.
Due to his selfless pursuit and silent love for Bai Li, of course, in his eyes, the Original body was an eyesore.
It wasn’t like he didn’t dare to sneakily send trouble to the Original body.
The miserable life that the Original body had before was partly due to Li Yi’s calculation and scheme.

But still, Li Yi couldn’t get rid of him regardless.
Because in the end, he still obeyed Shen Junyu’s order first and foremost.

It was an hour’s journey in the car and finally, they arrived outside of Shen Junyu’s Villa in the suburbs.
After dropping off Shen Junyu and Lin Yuetian, Li Yi drove away, leaving the Villa to finish what he had been ordered to do.

“This place is truly desolate and isolated.” Lin Yuetian shared his delight with his System with a tone full of approval.

He seemed like saying, ‘Ha-Ha! What a good place to get rid of someone!’

The System closed the microphone and refused to give any responses.

As soon as the two people entered the Villa, right after Lin Yuetian closed the door behind him, Shen Junyu folded his arms in front of his chest and commanded domineeringly, “Take it off.”

“Junyu, I miss you so much…So I, I’ve been thinking, can’t we add some excitement…?”

Lin Yuetian didn’t waver in front of the Domineering Scum Gong, despite his face currently being full of tears, he stubbornly took out a small candle from his backpack and continued his suggestion, “I bought this on purpose.
Let’s use a scented candle, I just want us to have a good time…a little, just a bit, even for a moment, I want to experience being held gently…Is this not possible…after all?”

Shen Junyu silently looked at him without any change in his expression.
Only after a moment of silence, did he give his consent, “…Then, lit them yourself.”

Lin Yuetian smiled and quickly lit the candle, saying, “Thank you, Junyu.”

[“Let me warn you once again, this time there’s no loophole.
The Mission is to make Shen Junyu expresses his love for you, sincerely!”] The System knew this small candle was the leftover paralyzing drug he used on Ning Songhua in the previous world.
[“I beg you, please don’t repeat the past horror, okay?”]

“How can I?” Lin Yuetian’s tone when answering the System in his mind was as gentle as always.
“I’ve always been reliable in my job, it’s impossible for me to repeat old tricks.
Different people need different strategies after all”

[“You, what are you going to do…?”] The System was freaked out.

His psychology right now was like watching a Horror Movie, the terrifying sound and the hint that the Ghost would appear had already started.
Unfortunately, the System didn’t know what Ghost was hidden in Lin Yuetian’s sleeves. He could only wait anxiously, without being given any privilege to close his eyes (since once again he had no form currently).

[“Big Brother, please take it easy!”]

He could only hope his advice and persuasions he had painstakingly and constantly murmuring to Lin Yuetian’s ears somehow would bear fruits.

The candles were burning, exuding a faint light, however, there was still no fragrance in the air.
After all, the drug was colorless and odorless.
On the other side, Shen Junyu was sitting on the couch, waiting for Lin Yuetian to crawl obediently like he used to.

Suddenly, his expression stagnated.
He felt that half of his body, not knowing when, had become numb and unable to move.
Amidst his shock, he cast his glance to the silently burning candle, and he immediately knew what was happening.

“Lin Yuetian! What did you put in the candle?!”

Lin Yuetian didn’t reply.
He just stood quietly.
The smile plastered on his face was still looking as beautiful as always, even the arc to which his lips were lifted didn’t waver.
It was just like a-,

…like a Business smile?[4]
