Ji Qiuchi woke up again feeling utterly dazed. Because it was still dark outside, 520 spoke up silently, “Host, I have been listening to the sound of ‘telegraphs’ for seventy-two hours…”
“……I’m actually still alive.” With a face that seemed to have seen through the vanity of the world, Ji Qiuchi lay on the bed like a salted fish.
At first, it was hard to accept after all, he considered himself a great top-tier alpha and a person of high status. Later, it was actually quite pleasurable, but once he realized that a certain someone had no intention of stopping, Ji Qiuchi couldn’t take it anymore. Begging for mercy was useless, and he ended up agreeing to many humiliating conditions.
Until now, his throat hurt and his entire body ached, but the culprit was not in the room.
520 was worried sick: “It can’t go on like this. You still have to see Zhao Lingyun once, right? Otherwise, it won’t count as dumping him. I thought Lin Ming was a good person, but it turns out he goes crazy out of nowhere. Wuu wuu, it’s too scary. Host, you’ve worked hard.”
“It’s not hard work, it’s a hard life. I said early on that he was unusual. What kind of decent person climbs into someone’s bed in the middle of the night? I was too naive, and now look…”
In the beginning, he had indeed tacitly allowed the other party to get close, partly to spite Zhao Lingyun and make him focus his gaze on him. But now, he had lifted a rock only to drop it on his own feet, and Ji Qiuchi still had to find a way to complete the mission. If just trying to see Zhao Lingyun resulted in this, he truly did not dare to imagine what Lin Ming would do to him if he actually tried to run away.
It wasn’t long before Lin Ming appeared before him again with food. Seeing Ji Qiuchi ignoring him, he felt somewhat regretful: “Brother, are you okay? I made something delicious for you.”
“Don’t call me brother; you’re the ‘big brother’ here. When are you going to let me out? We’ve already done it, isn’t that enough? I am a human being; I have the right to personal freedom,” Ji Qiuchi spoke coldly.
Lin Ming’s eyes turned red. Knowing Ji Qiuchi was very angry, he finally spoke: “Wait a little longer, just a little while. I am also loath to keep you locked up, but I have no other choice.”
Ji Qiuchi added: “I hate you. Don’t show your face in front of me again.”
Lin Ming glanced at him in disbelief and then left sorrowfully.
After he left, Ji Qiuchi couldn’t help but say to the system: “He makes me feel so soft-hearted. That face of his is really hard to refuse; I’m just a sucker for that look. And it didn’t feel like he was faking it.
though even if he was, I guess it’s fine.”
“He’s a normal person when he’s not being crazy. But now that he’s been sent away, do you have a plan?” the system asked.
Ji Qiuchi ate his meal first and then said: “There are surveillance cameras in the room, right? How many? Help me find them.”
“Fifty-four. There is also a tracker; he implanted it into your body yesterday while applying medicine,” the system said.
“I underestimated the extent of his perversion,” Ji Qiuchi remarked.
“Wait, Host, why are your ears red? Do you like it?” 520 asked hesitantly.
Prior to this, he had never received such intense emotions. In previous worlds, when people said they liked him, they were actually just greedy for his money and power. After entering the “Life Winner” group, Ji Qiuchi had always been cold and focused on his career. It wasn’t that people didn’t pursue him, but he simply had no feelings for them. He even wondered if he was asexual. However, Ji Qiuchi indeed liked beautiful people, and Lin Ming really suited his taste it would just be better if the other party stayed in the submissive position.
“I don’t like it; you saw wrong. Alright, we need to think of a way to deal with these cameras and then leave this place,” Ji Qiuchi said.
520: “Host, I can handle it. I can hack the surveillance, but I’m afraid that guy watches the feed twenty-four hours a day. While you were unconscious, he stared at you the whole time; it looked terrifying.”
The system was also scared to death by Lin Ming and still had lingering fears. It wondered how its host, who hadn’t really done anything, could provoke such a little pervert like Lin Ming.
“After the Spring Exhibition, he shouldn’t have that much time to stare at me constantly.”
Ji Qiuchi continued, “Wait until he is busy beyond belief to find a time to leave. By the way, what about Zhao Lingyun?”
“The court hearing is in one week. He has been waiting for you to bring a lawyer to find him, but you’ve been locked up here. Meanwhile, the one from the Zhao family actually woke up in the hospital and plans to testify personally to hammer Zhao Lingyun with intentional injury,” the system said.
“What a coincidence, waking up at a time like this? If I remember correctly, someone in a vegetative state doesn’t wake up that easily,” Ji Qiuchi wondered.
The system shook its head, indicating it didn’t know. Ji Qiuchi could only drop the subject, but he guessed that Lin Ming planned to let him go after everything settled a week later.
“What about the people at my studio? My parents should have noticed something was wrong by now, right? It’s already the fourth day,” Ji Qiuchi thought.
System: “Wuu wuu, we weren’t prepared before. That guy Lin Ming arranged everything. Didn’t he always help out when the studio was being established? Since you weren’t there, everyone naturally went to him. From new product releases to sales, things don’t even need to pass through your hands.”
If this were a “Life Winner” mission and Lin Ming wanted to backstab him, he definitely wouldn’t be able to escape. Lin Ming was essentially a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
He threw himself back onto the bed, not knowing what to do. The room had plenty of books and a television, but no phone or internet.
Lin Ming came back in after only being gone for a short while: “Brother, I want to hold you while I sleep. I’ve been holding you to sleep these past few days; I can sleep very well when I hold you.”
“No.”
Ji Qiuchi was still in pain and didn’t want the other party near him. However, Lin Ming was only asking for his opinion but had no intention of following it. He naturally got into bed and then held him.
Then why even ask?! Ji Qiuchi couldn’t help but push him away, but Lin Ming nuzzled and sniffed him like a puppy: “Brother, I like you.”
“Get off the bed immediately,” Ji Qiuchi’s raspy voice rang out.
“Brother, don’t shout anymore.” Lin Ming touched his throat and then kissed his face. Ji Qiuchi could do nothing about him.
Fine, whatever, it’s only for a few more days anyway.
“Your Wangchuan brand’s sales are number one among individual brands. Our Lin Corporation took second place. The Spring Exhibition was a great success… I waited for you for a long time, but you didn’t come. They said you went to the Zhao family’s exhibition. I know you helped them with designs and that your hard work was in there, so I bought the Zhao Corporation,” Lin Ming said.
“I didn’t specifically go looking for him; it was just work. Don’t touch me, you didn’t even ask me to go.”
Ji Qiuchi was getting worked up from being touched. He turned around to move away, but the other man’s arms were like steel; he couldn’t break free at all. You couldn’t tell Lin Ming worked out so well when he had clothes on.
“But the Lin Corporation exhibition had your brand designs; I thought you would come.”
As he spoke, his voice grew hoarse, “I can’t quite hold back anymore. Can we just ‘rub’ this time?”
Lin Ming was truly just asking politely; he had no intention of listening to his opinion. To Lin Ming, silence was permission, and refusal was just being duplicitous.
The next morning, Lin Ming prepared breakfast for him and left, but he returned an hour later with his work to do it at home. The two were in the same space, and Lin Ming would look at him from time to time, making Ji Qiuchi feel very awkward.
“Work properly. The matters with the Zhao Corporation shouldn’t be over that quickly, right?”
“Actually, it’s almost done. Brother, I transferred all the shares of the Zhao Corporation to you. Now you are the largest shareholder. I have cleared out all the dirty individuals inside,” Lin Ming said, his face full of a desire for praise.
“This is useless to me,” Ji Qiuchi said.
The “puppy” immediately drooped his ears: “You don’t like it? …I know you want to go out.”
His words left no room for a response. Ji Qiuchi indeed wanted to get out as soon as possible. He could feel that his physical condition was starting to deteriorate. Could he really wait until a week later?
The system was also full of sorrow: “Mainly, Host, you have completed the mission to change the ‘sucker’ life, and the target’s regret level is almost at one hundred, so the mission is considered nearly complete. Naturally, the World Consciousness does not intend to let a misfit who doesn’t belong to this space-time remain. As for the personal missions, those are actually taken privately by the staff at the Space-Time Bureau and don’t go through the World Consciousness.”
In fact, there was no harm in not doing the bonus personal missions, but Ji Qiuchi was truly poor, having been scammed by the Main God into owing 100 million points. Since he had already come this far and there was only one step left, he would truly be unwilling to give up if he didn’t finish it.
Of course, an opportunity soon arrived. Lin Ming personally went to attend Zhao Lingyun’s trial.
Because the evidence and witnesses were complete and the company was also “unclean,” even Zhao Lingyun had no way to turn things around. In the courtroom, his eyes turned red when he saw Lin Ming standing together with Zhao Jing. At this moment, he finally understood that the reason he had fallen to this point was that he had offended Lin Ming. If it weren’t for him, others would never have caught him or discovered these things; he had been cautious enough.
Wait, where is Ji Wang? Where is Ji Wang?!
He stared deathly at Lin Ming all the way, but Lin Ming, in a black suit, just stood in the distance, nonchalantly watching him being taken away as if looking at an ant. To him, dealing with a Zhao Lingyun was far too simple, especially since the other party had exposed so many flaws.
On this side, with the system’s help, Ji Qiuchi shielded the surveillance and tracking and had the system send a message to Father Lin to come and rescue him.
“Is it okay to do this? Father Lin is Lin Ming’s father,” the system said. “If he wants to investigate, he will surely find out about the two of you, especially given your current appearance.”
“Because there is no more time, I can only ask my parents for help,” Ji Qiuchi said.
Father Lin was extremely shocked when he arrived, as if his entire worldview had been shattered.
“This is property under Xiao Ming’s name. Why would you be locked in a room by him…” He grew silent as he continued asking, because he saw the iron chains on Ji Wang’s body.
Seeing Father Lin’s face turning red and blue with anger, Ji Qiuchi feared he might die of rage and spoke up: “Xiao Ming probably misunderstood his own feelings.”
“Fine, let’s go home first. When he returns, we will hold him accountable for you.”
Father Lin suppressed his temper. For so many days, Lin Ming had been doing very well; whether it was jewelry or company management, his talent exceeded his imagination. But he never expected that he would actually lock Xiao Wang up.
The system rubbed its hands in excitement, “That little pervert Lin Ming is in trouble.”
Ji Qiuchi said: “Alright, there shouldn’t be any danger once we are back home.”
Meanwhile, Lin Ming’s face turned dark after losing the signal for the tracker. He couldn’t find anyone after checking the surveillance or sending people out to search. It wasn’t until Father Lin called him to come home.
001: “Master Host, Ji Wang seems to be at home.”
Lin Ming breathed a sigh of freedom: “Good, let’s go home. As long as Chichi isn’t lost, it’s fine.”
Everything else didn’t matter.
Father and Mother Lin sat and talked with Ji Qiuchi for a long time until Lin Ming returned. Ji Qiuchi looked at him calmly, the corners of his mouth even lifting slightly into a faint curve, appearing as if he were waiting to watch him fall into misfortune.
