As evening approached, since there weren't enough bedrooms in the house, Chiba Shoko had to let Kamiki Otoha stay with her, and Sayaka stay with Yuki, leaving the other person's original room for Hayashikawa.
At the bathroom door, after Lin Chuan finished showering and came out, Chiba Shoko glanced at his well-defined eight-pack abs with a few light water droplets on them, then quickly lowered her head and handed him a set of men's pajamas.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin Chuan, the mall is closed at this time. You can wear Sayaka's father's pajamas for now."
"Don't worry, Sayaka's father hasn't worn these pajamas since they were bought, so they're still clean!"
"Thank you, Aunt Xiangzi!"
With a faint smile, Lin Chuan thanked him and stepped forward to take it.
However, because of the previous shower, the floor was a bit slippery.
Therefore, Lin Chuan accidentally fell straight towards the beautiful woman in front of him.
Hearing the startled cry that told her to dodge, Chiba Shoko instinctively raised her head.
Then, a dark shadow rushed towards him.
Immediately afterwards, she felt herself being tackled to the ground, and the other person's right hand was still on...
In an instant, Chiba Shoko felt a surge of electricity coursing through her body.
As the saying goes, a kiss between a middle-aged couple can trigger nightmares for several nights in a row.
Like Otoha Kamiki, she and her husband had become acquainted as gentlemen three years ago.
Aside from sleeping in the same bed every night, they had no other interaction.
She has a rather traditional personality and wouldn't do something like dressing up in seductive clothes and actively seeking sex. So, to outsiders, the two seem very loving, but only she knows the bitterness behind it all.
Now, several years later, feeling that burning chest again, Chiba Shoko's mind went completely blank.
It wasn't until Lin Chuan got up and kept apologizing that she gradually came to her senses.
"No, it's alright, Lin Chuan-kun, you should get some rest~"
After saying that, she handed the pajamas to Lin Chuan, buried her head in her chest, and hurriedly headed to her room with her ears turning red.
Inside the room, he saw his younger sister looking somewhat panicked.
While inwardly scolding the little rascal for his quick action, Kamiki Otoyo said softly, "Shoko, what's wrong? Why do you look so flustered?"
Chapter Ninety-Five: A Hypocritical and Unsavory Person
Faced with her older sister's question, Chiba Shoko felt a sudden surge of panic: "N-nothing!"
Having said that, fearing the other person would pry, she quickly changed the subject: "Sister, it's been so long since we last saw each other..."
On the other side, feeling the lingering warmth in his palm, Lin Chuan slowly curved his lips into a smile.
Just then, a startled cry rang out from not far away: "Hey~, Onii-chan, why aren't you wearing any clothes?"
Turning his head to look, Lin Chuan couldn't help but show a look of utter speechlessness.
Several meters away from him, Chiba Yuki was covering her face with her hands, looking shy.
But those bright, large eyes kept peering through the gap.
Hehe~, I didn't expect my older brother to be not only handsome but also have such a great body. I wonder if he has a girlfriend, if not...}
Looking at the girl who was gradually turning into a little fangirl, Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow slightly.
Suppressing the urge to show the other person their precious baby, I put on my pajamas.
Seeing this, a hint of regret appeared in Chiba Yuki's eyes.
After a brief conversation, the girl returned to her room, took out her phone, and contacted Kamiki Fuuka...
The next morning, Lin Chuan got up very early and started making arrangements for the funeral with Kamiki Otoyo.
This busy period lasted for most of the day.
In the afternoon, friends and relatives of Chiba Kobayashi came to pay their respects.
Upon seeing one of the men, a burly, imposing middle-aged man, Chiba Yuki suddenly lost control of her emotions: "If it weren't for you, my father wouldn't have died! Get out! You're not welcome in our house..."
Upon seeing this, Chiba Shoko quickly had Sayaka take her away. Then, full of apologies, she bowed deeply to the middle-aged man: "President Karaki, I am very sorry. Yuki has been a bit too extreme because of losing her father. Please don't mind."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's face showed a hint of regret: "Kobayashi-kun is a good employee. I originally wanted to train him well and entrust him with important responsibilities in the future, but I didn't expect..."
In the end, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and a few tears glistened in his tiger-like eyes.
Seeing this, the guests who came to pay their respects couldn't help but secretly praise the other party's kindness and righteousness, but Lin Chuan felt a strong sense of hypocrisy coming towards him.
Immediately, a True Sight Eye was thrown up.
He wanted to see just what kind of person the other party really was.
"Name: Dead wood becomes a sea
Age: 45
Favorability: 0
Personality: outwardly serene, cunning
Skill: Business Acumen
Overall strength: Mid-stage Mortal Rank
Recent thoughts: I didn't expect that good-for-nothing Chiba Kobayashi would die so easily. But it's all for the best. I'll take care of your beautiful wife from now on...
Upon hearing his thoughts, Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow slightly.
He's definitely not a good person. He deliberately assigned Chiba Kobayashi several times more work than he was supposed to do, and even wanted to leave no way to verify the truth after she died.
However, all those plans you made before were destined to benefit me.
Shortly after the withered tree had finished its offering, several burly men in suits barged in aggressively.
"Where is Chiba Kobayashi? Get out here right now!"
Upon hearing this, Chiba Shoko quickly stood up from the ground: "Gentlemen, my husband has just passed away. May I ask what brings you here?"
After sizing up Chiba Shoko, a glint of wolfish malice flashed in his eyes. The bald, middle-aged man at the head of the group said with a playful tone, "What is it? Your husband owed us 2000 million yen. Now that he's dead, you'll have to pay it back!"
Upon hearing this, Chiba Shoko's pupils constricted sharply, and she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "What?! How is this possible?"
In her memory, her husband neither smoked nor gambled, and apart from liking to drink a little, he was a perfect man. How could he possibly owe so much money?
"Don't believe me? This is an IOU, with his signature on it. You can't disbelieve it!"
Having said that, he took out an IOU from his pocket and tossed it over.
With trembling hands, she reached out and picked it up. When she saw the familiar handwriting in the borrower's column, Chiba Shoko felt dizzy and couldn't help but fall to the side.
Seeing this, the withered tree that had been waiting for a long time knew that it was time for it to take the stage.
But just then, Dao Qing's figure beat him to it.
Lin Chuan swiftly reached the woman's side, gently extending his arm to embrace her voluptuous waist, and softly asked, "Aunt Xiangzi, are you alright?"
Feeling that familiar, intense heat, Chiba Shoko's dizziness subsided, and she looked at Lin Chuan with gratitude: "Thank you, Lin Chuan-kun~"
"No need to be polite, Aunt Zi, may I see the IOU?"
Upon hearing this, Chiba Shoko handed over the IOU without much thought.
Using the system's capabilities, Lin Chuan made a few changes to the handwriting at the turning points, and then handed the IOU to Chiba Shoko again: "Aunt Shoko, look carefully, is this really Uncle Lin's handwriting? Don't let your sadness give some thugs an opportunity to take advantage of you..."
Upon hearing this, Chiba Shoko examined the writing carefully. When she saw the differences between the handwriting and her husband's, she breathed a sigh of relief and said sweetly, "This isn't my husband's handwriting, my husband..."
After he finished speaking, Lin Chuan threw the IOU back and said coldly, "Ha~, you dare to extort money with a fake product? Who gave you the guts?!"
With an IOU smeared in his face, the bald man laughed angrily: "Kid, I advise you not to talk nonsense, or you'll get yourself into trouble!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, everything went black before his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, a burning pain came from my right cheek.
Feeling something foreign in his mouth, he instinctively spat it out.
Then, two teeth stained with blood came into view.
Shaking his wrist a couple of times, Lin Chuan said angrily, "You're so shameless! You've hurt my hand! Pay up!"
In front of so many people, being rudely confronted by a callow youth, the bald middle-aged man flew into a rage, turning to his henchmen beside him and yelling, "Are you all dead? Get him now!"
Seeing this, Chiba Shoko quickly stepped forward to stop it.
But then, Kamiki Otoyo suddenly grabbed her.
Meeting the other person's anxious gaze, Kamiki Otoyo said easily, "Don't worry, they're just a few thugs. The little brat will be fine."
Indeed, as she said, 4.4 seconds later, Lin Chuanjing stood still, while several curled-up "shrimp" appeared on the ground.
Upon seeing Lin Chuan looking at him, the bald, middle-aged man, who had previously acted as if he were the most important person in the world, began to tremble violently.
He stumbled back several steps, instinctively saying, "You, you stay away! If you come any closer, I'll call the police!"
For a local thug who fears the police like a tiger to say he would call the police, you can imagine how much psychological pressure Lin Chuan put on him.
Lin Chuan rushed up to him in two strides and suddenly punched him in the abdomen.
After a brief moment, Lin Chuan let the other party say a few words to his great-grandmother, then grabbed the other party by the collar: "Now, can you tell me who exactly sent you here to extort money?"
Gazing at that devilish smile, the bald middle-aged man shuddered and turned to look at the sea of withered trees not far away.
Chapter Ninety-Six: A Dead Tree's Constant Examination of "Filial Piety"
Seeing the other person looking at him, Kumu Chenghai's face suddenly darkened, and he gave the other person a threatening look.
The meaning is clear: you'd better not talk nonsense, or you might not see the sun rise tomorrow.
Having known the other party for several years and knowing full well just how ruthless this bald middle-aged man was, a chill suddenly ran down his spine.
Then, he quickly turned his head to the side.
