The chatter among these people was nothing more than an attempt to figure out Lin Jie's "origin, destination, family members, acreage per person, and how many cattle on their land," and other similar inquiries.

Lin Jie engaged with the people approaching him, responding neither intimately nor distantly, maintaining an even tone, and answered the questions as truthfully as possible.

After a while, these people realized that what Lin Jie said appeared to be the truth, yet it didn't match at all with the conditions of the apartment he currently owned.

As a result, those who approached him became even more curious about Lin Jie's identity, suspecting that he deliberately was not telling the truth. They were all people of status, and seeing that they couldn't really uncover anything, they stopped pursuing and dispersed.

By this time, Lin Jie had already arrived at the top of the East building, surrounded by people, and there were also quite a few beautifully dressed young women present.

He moved to a relatively quiet corner, took out his phone and was about to call Lin Miao.

Just as he unlocked the screen, a jade-like hand, white and cool, grabbed his wrist with force, and a pleading voice sounded in his ear, "Please, don't tell Li Ting!"

Surprised, Lin Jie looked up and found that it was Fang Yan holding his wrist.

"Fang Yan, it's you? Don't tell Li Ting what?" Lin Jie asked, puzzled.

Fang Yan withdrew her hand and said somewhat awkwardly, "Oh, you didn't see…"

At this moment, the plump Jiang Haiping came over, wrapped his arm around Fang Yan's waist, pulling her closely to him, and squinted his small eyes while smiling and asking, "Mr. Lin, Fang Yan, you two know each other?"

Fang Yan closed her eyes, feeling like her heart had turned to ashes, and said, "Yes, my roommate is Lin Jie's girlfriend!"

Jiang Haiping let out a long "oh" and laughed, "So that's how it is, young friend Lin Jie is outstanding, so his girlfriend must also be exceptionally excellent. Young friend Lin Jie, perhaps one day I can host a gathering for the four of us?"

Lin Jie responded with a faint smile!

Jiang Haiping soon found another more valuable target to acquaint himself with and immediately took Fang Yan to leave.

Facing the pleading gaze Fang Yan cast over her shoulder, Lin Jie heavily nodded his head and put away his phone.

If he were hungry, Lin Jie could have eaten or drank a little here and taken some more away, but now, he had no interest in staying any longer and was planning to leave and go home.

As he turned his body, the corner of his eye caught a familiar figure, forcibly halting his motion, his joints making a sudden crackling sound.

Li Donghai!

One of the main culprits who harmed Lin Miao, Li Donghai!

Although Lin Jie's methods of revenge were covert and fierce, nothing felt as satisfying as defeating the enemy in person.

Seeing that bastard, the scene of Lin Miao lying lonely on a massage bed, with traces of blood on her, as if lifeless, once again flashed vividly in his mind.

A surge of impulse arose in Lin Jie's heart; he just wanted to rush forward and beat him up, then throw him off the rooftop.

The pain from his nails digging into his palm brought Lin Jie some clarity, reminding him that with his current physique, if he were to fight, he might end up being the one at a disadvantage.

"Good and evil will be rewarded accordingly; you just need to wait." Lin Jie consoled himself.

Perhaps Lin Jie's gaze was too intense; Li Donghai turned his head, sensing something, and noticed Lin Jie staring daggers at him.

He instinctively avoided Lin Jie's gaze and turned away.

A moment later, he turned back and faced Lin Jie directly, walking towards him.

Lin Jie inhaled and exhaled deeply, not leaving, but instead, staring at Li Donghai as he approached.

"What do you siblings really want?"

Li Donghai's words fueled Lin Jie's anger further, and he retorted darkly, "What do you mean by that?"

Li Donghai pondered, saying, "Usually, after incidents like that, people either raise a fuss, demanding more benefits, or they seek justice through media or legal channels. But you two siblings did nothing, almost as if it never happened."

Lin Jie let out a mocking laugh, questioning, "Isn't that exactly what you were hoping for?"

Li Donghai shook his head, saying, "No, that's not what I want, I'd rather you make a huge fuss or go directly to court. Things that deviate from the norm are definitely suspicious; I have a feeling you're brewing something big."

Lin Jie chuckled coldly a few times, and said, "You're right to suspect, I am indeed plotting something big! Tell me, do you believe in the mystical cycle of karma and retribution?"

Li Donghai was taken aback, then slowly shook his head, "Maybe I would have believed it before, but I've experienced a lot in the business world. If there truly were karma and retribution..."

He pointed casually at many people around, mockingly saying, "Most of the owners in this building should have been struck by lightning by now."

"You don't believe it, but I do,"

Lin Jie said with a devout expression, "Every day, I pray to Heaven to punish you, to make you die from rotten intestines. I firmly believe Heaven will respond to my prayers and grant my wish."

Li Donghai took a step away from Lin Jie, giving him a look as if assessing a lunatic, showing a mocking expression at the corner of his mouth, shaking his head and turning to leave.

Watching Li Donghai's back, Lin Jie murmured to himself, "There's one thing I haven't told you; I am the agent of Heaven to execute punishment upon you two."

Back at home, Lin Jie had regained his composure.

He found Li Ting and Lin Miao already changed into pajamas, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, playing the game Plants vs. Zombies.

Casually, he reminded, "Miaomiao, your eyes can't keep staring at the screen, don't play for too long!"

"I know, we'll play for at most half an hour, I have it under control!" Li Ting lifted a hand, promising.

Only then did Lin Jie notice that Li Ting was wearing his pajamas, which explained why they looked so familiar.

Lin Miao glanced at Lin Jie and suddenly said, "Brother, don't secretly stare at Tingting all the time; you can look openly, I guess Tingting wouldn't mind, right?"

Li Ting glanced at herself, found no exposed parts, and generously remarked, "I'm not afraid of being seen even in a swimsuit, let alone pajamas! Lin Jie, I'm staying here tonight, take me to school on your way to work tomorrow."

"I didn't bring my pajamas, Miaomiao's are too small, so I can only wear yours."

Lin Jie nodded, saying, "Sure, wear them, just remember not to wash them afterward, I like them in their original state!"

Receiving a pair of disdainful eye-rolls from the two, he continued, "Li Haoxiang has been re-elected as the residents' committee director!"

"The rooftop garden is indeed a good place, nice scenery, large area, with a tennis court and a swimming pool, it's truly a great spot for gatherings and events!"

The mention of the swimming pool piqued the interest of the two, both expressing that if the water quality was good, they'd go swimming there occasionally.

After half an hour of gaming and a bit of chatting, it wasn't too early anymore, and the three of them prepared to wash up and rest in their rooms.

Just the day before, Lin Jie had unintentionally kissed Li Ting, and having gotten a taste, he kept sneaking glances at Li Ting, but she simply ignored him and directly closed the master bedroom door.

Lin Jie suddenly felt a bit regretful.

He shouldn't have agreed to Li Ting's request so quickly; at the very least, he should have enjoyed a "do whatever you want" passionate night with An Kexin before doing so.

But now…

There's truly no medicine for regret in this world. It wasn't until he'd tossed and turned for a long time that Lin Jie finally fell into a deep sleep.
